Judging from the quantity Of wreckage

the opinion of Lake captains that the

miles east of Long Point as none of hcI
spars have been found and if she had
gone down in shallow water they woul'
be sticking up.
The storm which destroyed the Niagara
was one Of the worst that ever raget

A STUBBORN FIRE
In the Much Dreaded Albany Street District
Boston-Loss. $4,000.

Boston, Dec. 10.-The Albany street
district, a section much dreaded BY
Boston firemen, was the scene of a dis
astrous fire. today, that originated in
the lumber yard Of Andrew F. Leather
bee. and before it was under control
had caused a damage of nearly $4,000.
Its origin is a mystery. but ii is gener-
ally believed that it originated in the
dry house.
Despite all efforts to prevent it, the
fire spread to the adjoining lumber
yard of Blacker & Shepherd. where it
caused loss estimated at $4,000 ID
5000 Four dwelling houses in close
proximity to the Leatherbee yard also
caught fire, and the inmates of one OF
them had a narrow escape.
The fire burned all day, although il
was under control within a few hours
after it started. The principal losses
are estimated as follows: Andrew r.
Leatherbee. lumber, $4,000 Blacker &
Shepard, lumber $4,000 to S15, 900: in
surance. about three-fourths.

Augusta, Ga, Dec. 10.-The worst
fire that Augusta has had in years
started, this morning. and caused 81
900, 600 damage. 1t began in the heart
of J. +. Whites big dry goods house,
the nearest approach Augusta had TO 4
big modern department store. The or
igin of the fire is unknown, but it is
surmised that an electric wire may
have come in contact with the wood
work after the insulation on it became
imperfect. or possibly q spark from a
suffering arc light may have tumbled
into the dry goods.
The Arlington Annex and the stores
beneath it. all part of the Old Central
Hotel property. abutted the store of J.
b. White on the uptown side and all
were involved in the first onslaught Of
the flames. after getting outside of the
White store. Next came the handsome
Masonic building. into which the flames
ate their way from the rear. When
the flames reached it from The rear Of
the Masonic building it was soon
ablaZe.
The fire gnited the roof and windows
Of The Schneider building across Sth
street on the next block. but it was ar
rested there. and, barring a few thou
sand dollars damage 20 stock, the main
loss was confined To the original block
bounded BY Broad and Ellis streets
north and south. and Eth and Hth
streets east ana west.
The following figures are estimates
of the losses made up by three Of the
leading insurance men in the city ana
believed to be conservative. hut are

preparation viii be mailed to the adj
dresses thus obtained, calling for further
data, which will be supplemented by de-
tailed statistics gathered by the census
enumerators.
1t should he noted by all interested In
the subject that these various inquiries Oi
the census office in no way conflict with
or duplicate the work with reference Il
irrigation which is being conducted 10y
any other department Of state. The most
nearly related inquiry Is that Of the geo
logical survey, which, Ike that of the
census, is under the more immediate di-
rection Of r. Fl. Newell. the special agent
for irrigation in the 18th census and hy-
drcgrapher of the geoIogical survey.
The volume and value of these Stats
tics, ii Is stated. will depend very largely
upon the attention and interest shown
therein by those engaged in irrigation.
and it is earnestly hoped that all &c
whom the schedules are addressed Will
appreciate the Importance Of the request
and make prompt and careful reply, as
the future development Of this vast por-
ton Of our domain will be greatly ad-
Vanced by comprehensive compilation
of facts relating to its irrigation. such as
by the 18th census.
