DESTROYED BY FIRE.
city Grain and Feed COmpany's Mills
Burned.
Loss Between S12 900 aud SIS 900, with
- 500 Insurance-wil Rebuild
at Once.

The mill of the City Grain d Feed
! Company, situated on the Louisville
~ Nashville Railroad, to the west of
School street, was totally destroyed
/ 10y fire last Thursday night. The
fire originated on the lower floor,a
1t is supposed that it was caused by
/ the friction of some of the machinery
! the mill being in operation at the
time. The flames spread with great
rapidity, and the employees had
barely time to get out with their
I belongings. The entire building was
soon a seething furnace and the
names shot high into the air, illum
mating the country for a great dis.
lance around. By tho time the fire
company reached the scene the
flames were burning fiercely, and all
the efforts OF the firemen were di-
rected towards saving the adjoining
property. The mill situated east of
school street was uninjured, but the
office building was badly damaged.
The loss to the company is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000, the
greater part of the amount being
upon the buildings and machinery.
As great deal of grain is shipped
from the mill at this time of the
year, the amount on hand at the
time OF the fire was smaller than
usual.
The total insurance carried was
S8 800, being distributed as follows:
On mill and machinery-$l.2O 200 in
the New York Underwriters, $500 in
the Hartford, 200 in the Magde.
burg, and $500 in the North British;
on stock-$l, 300 in the New York
Underwriters, 5000 in the Hartford,
" 300 in the Magdeburg, 5000 in the
North British; the hacking house,
situated behind the mill, was in
snred for $500 in the magdeburg.
This, also, was totally destroyed.
The insurance was carried with the
agency of Gordon & Rutledge.
The water supply during the fire
was very poor-nOt, however, on ac-
count of lack Of water in the resell
volr, but presumably on account of
the pipes being stopped up. Had it
not been for this, the proprietors of
the mill think that the fremen
would have succeeded in saving sew
eral thousand dollars for them.
There were several carloads of
bran in the mill at the time, which
could not be shipped on account of
the scarcity Of cars. The loss on
this was total.
VIII Rebuild At Once.
The work of removing the debris
has already begun, and the HERALD
has been informed by one of the
managers of the mill that they will
begin as soon as possible to rebuild.
The new buildings will be larger and
better than the old ones, and will be
fitted up with the latest improved
machinery.

Wages WIN BE Raised

New York, Feb. 1o.-The Tribune says:
John w. Gates, chairman of the board of
directors of the American Steel and Wire
company, confirms the report from Chi
cago that the company YOU on March 1
advance he wages of it's $4,000 employees.
These increases in wages, Mr.. Gates says,
which would amount in the aggregate to
between $150,0G0 and 81, GOO, 900 a year,
nave been made by the management en-
tlrely of its own accord and not as the re-
sponse to it's employees. owing to the
price of iron, the company was getting
higher prices for it's products than had
ruled until recently and had decided that
its employees should share in the benefits.
MIR. Gates added that there was no truth

Mines Torn Loose

Boston, Feb. 10.-Four mime placed in
the harbor for it's protection from hostile
attack during the war with Spain, were
torn from their mornings by the storm
and drifted about the harbor until the
waves finally cast them upon the beach
at the Marine park in South Boston,
Each of the mines was charged with 200
pounds of gun cotton, and if exploded
would have blown up any vessel unfor-
tunate enough to be in the vicinity.
Luckily there was no collision with the
drifting terrors. Nothing has been seen
of the overdue Cunard steamship Pa
vonia, now six days overdue from Liver
pool. The vessel was undoubtedly ex-
posed to the full force of the series of
hurricanes which AVE swept the prob
able course, and fears are beginning to
be felt concerning it's safety.

II Army Reorganization Bill
Does Not Pass.
LEGISLATION IS NECESSARY
Or the President Will Find His Army
Reduced to $4,000 Men When
Treaty is Ratified.

Washington, Feb. 9.-The Post will say
tomorrow: The army reorganization bill
must pass or the president will call an
extra session of congress-. The opposi-
ton to the bill in the senate has already
been frequently referred to in the Post,
and the prediction made that some COM
promise would be agreed upon whereby
legislation of a temporary character
would be placed Upon the army appropri-
alton bill. This will not satisfy the ad-
mlnistration. No makeshift e~xpedient
will be accepted. The president has de-
termnied that the passage of the army
bill shall be made an issue and thre is no
doubt in administration circles that he
will be successful. If, however, an OBJ
stacle should prevent action, an extra
session will surely be held. The condi-
tons which have arisen leave no other
course to be pursued by the president. A
decision was yesterday rendered by the
attorney general to the effect that as soon
as the notifications of the treaty are ex-
changed the volunteers can no longer be
retained in service. This is also true,
the attorney general holds, of the addi-
tiOnal regulars who were enlisted for the
war with Spain. Consequently, without
the desired legislation, the president will
find himself with an army reduced from
6 5000 to %, goo men.

Poor Opinion of Aguinaldo

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 1O.-Lieuten-
ant Howard, who was on the Boston all
summer at Manila, has arrived here on
a visit. He says
II met Aguinaldo and talked with him

lppines, and all who have any property,
are eager for the United States to as
sumo full control. The rest are inf1u-
enced in some political by Aguin-
aldo but this weeks fighting will leave
him without support"
