With Fire Destroying S85o,OOO
Worth Of Property.
Big Six Story Wooden
Hotel Bnrned.
Sherry's Casino and Other
Buildings Destroyed.

Narragansett Pier, r.. L., Septem Der
IL The summer season came to a sud
den and disastrous end this afternoon,
through the complete destruction by fire
of the great Rockingham hotel, Sherry
beautiful and famous casino. the Hazard
block, the knights of Pythias hall and
a score of smaller buildings which in
summer are live with excursionist trade.
The fire started from the upper part OF
the Rockingham shortly after noon and
within q few hours nearly all the adJa.
cent buildings including the casino, had
been destroyed, The loss is estimated at
about $3.50, 600, half OF which is covered
by insurance
No one, as yet, knows just how the fire
started Peter Davis saw smoke sailing
about the roof of the Rockingham at
1915 this noon. The hotel was practically
vacant having been closed about 10 days,
so that the fire was fortunately unat-
tended by narrowing scenes.
Before Davis could give the alarm the
flames were bursting through the roof
and shooting high in the air, so that
when the two small ocal fire companies
arrived the conhagration was practically
beyond their power to handle. Help was
summon ed from Pea cedale and with the
assistance OF nearly the entire population
Of the pier an heroic effort was made to
stay the flames.
The great Rockingham, six stories high,
built entirely OF wood, burned like q
huge tar barrel. Every effort was made
to save the casino which for a number Of
years has been the scene of nearly all the
gaiety at the pier. But the Intensity
Of the IRE in the Rockingham, was too
much Tor the local departm snt and within
an hour, the southern portion of the cast
no was on fire and soon the entire bu lid
ing was wrapped in flame. About the
same time the Hazard block to the west
of the Rockingham. caught and that
building together with the Knights Of
Pythias hall and the small buildings on
Exchange place, were soon swept away
Here a heroic stan1 was made by the
department. ana the progress Of the
flames to the north and west were stayed
and the rest of the town was saved.
The Rockingham was owned by j. g
Burns & Son and was valued at 500, 600,
being insured for SO, 600.
The casino was built some Is years ago
and during the past five years has been
under the management Of Lewis Sherry
Of New York. The building was valued
at s1lO 600 and insured for $50, 000. The
Hazard block, with its numerous stores
and Offices, was valued at S35, 600 and the
building itself was fully insured. Other
smaller losses bring the aggregate up to
fully $780, 900.

TO LOOT THE DEAD.
FieNds in Human Form Have Been
FIoelstng to Galveston.

Houston, Texas. September 12.-The
appalling nature of the great tragedy
at Galveston grows steadily, as commu-
nieation is slowly restored and refugees
reach haven of safety here.
When early reports of the disaster
reached the outside world, giving an
estimate Of 1900 souls swept suddenly
into eternity, the news was received with
universal incredultty. Last night Mayor
Jones of Galveston, issued the astound-
ing statement to the world, that con-
less than 5000 souls
The latest news from the stricken
city is as sensational as it is shocking.
SO dangerous a menace to the safety of
the survivors have become the decom-
posing corpses that every able bodied
man is engaged in the work of cremating
those bodies that remain in the debris.
and Of cOnsigning to the sea or to COM
mon trenches those that are picked up
on the streets or along the beach AL
ready it is stated that 230O have thus
been disposed OF in the interest of human
life and the preservation of public sani-
tation
The news is simply confirmed that
fends in human form have flocked to
Galveston to rob the dead and to loot
their homes. Immense Indignation has
been aroused over the terrible disclosure
and the report of the killing of more
than score or the ghouIs by soldiers
and citizens, finds the strongest COM

Now, however, that Mayor Jones has
taken a firm stand on the situation
and has both the support of the state
and regular troops, it is assured that the
city Will be more thoroughly polieed and
further Dissertation OF the dead prompt
~ stopped.
The most exhaustive efforts have been
made to obtain q complete list OF the
victims of the disaster. That seems an
impossible task now and perhaps only
through a new census of the living will
the full number or the Identity OF those
who lost their lives be made known.
All estimates with respect to property
loss are apparently guess work.
The relief work, now under full sway
at Houston, is along two lines-to sue
cor those who cannot leave Galveston
and to bring out of the city all OF those
who can and are willing to leave.
Mayor Jones and the citizens commit
tee of the island city are urging that only
those shall be permitted to enter Calves
ton whose presence is imperative and
the transportation lines are straining
every nerve in order that they may ac-
cord the privilege to those VINO are plead

TOR and desoIation around them.
Hundreds OF people have come to Hous-
ton from the four points Of the compass,
all anxious to get to the stricken town.
But since the exodus of islanders has
begun, many have concluded to remain
here rather than run the risk of missing
on the way those they are in search of.

KINDLED FOREST FIRES.
Mcuh Damage From
Cyclone in N. E.

Boston, September 12.-The New Eng
land West India hurricane, which started
TO days ago far to the eastward OF Porto
Rico, entered New England this morn
ing and tonight the inhabitants of this
corner of the country have nearly a mill
lion dollars to add to the heightened list
of losses which this remarkable storm
destroyed in it's 10000 mile career. The
gale found q greater part of New Eng
land dried and parchless from three
months drought, so that within an hour
after the storm began a score of forest
fires which by great effort had been al
most subdued, Is ere burning dercely, and
again sweeping over vast expanses OF
country.
In the northern part of New England
some rain fell during the night which
almost subdued a number of forest fires
which have been raging for nearly a
week. TO the south, however, the earth
was very dry and the woods are like so
much excelsior. Today she high gale
swept the flames over ten tim es as much
territory, and by noon today a dozen of
these forest fires were burning fercely
and especially among the pines of
Plymouth county and Cape Cod. In
Plymouth county a score of summer
residents had their property destroyed
and many who had fingered, barely es-
capped with their lives.
1t ran toward the northeast in the
morning, but the wind shifting at noon
carried it due east toward Long EPond.
Here five summer houses and one or two
farm houses were burned. Down toward
Sandwich the fire destroyed the house OF
Joseph +, Slavery, the inhabitants bare
ly escaping and saving nothing. The
house of George II. Briggs near Indian
Rock was burned and here also great
difficulty was experienced in saving
Mrs. Briggs and her children.
At s o'clock the fire had reached the
lower end Of Long Pond, but as the
wind went down, the fire wardens be-
lieve that the progress Of the flames may
be checked. Up to late hour tonight
no fatalities had been reported.
Fires have also been doing much dam
age in Weymouth, Rockland, South
birmingham and in Westminster, Mass
Reports were also received from vari-
Gus parts OF New England tonight Of
damage to telegraph and telephone wires,
houses unroofed, orchards denuded OF
their fruit and great damage to stand
ing corn and other crops
Up to a late hour tonight nothing in
the way Of an ocean disaster had come
to hand.

In June, 1899, the authors Of THE
Himalayas." Mr. and Mrs. Workman, re-
turned to Srinagar from Java where they
no time in getting together their OUTFIT and
engaging coolies for an expedition to the
northern regions of Baltistan. The route
followed was over the Deosai Plains to
Shardu, from thence to Shigar, and by
the Asker Nullah to Askole. and IL speaks
well for Mrs. Worl1man's strength of
nerve, that she was able to cross the
Askole, which is stated to be go feet long
In this expedition they were accom- panied
by the well-known Alpine guide Matthias
Zurbriygen, who had Travelled with Sir
Martin Conway when he visited and sur
therefore had considerable experience. and
from what the authors state regarding
him he fully upheld his reputation as
thorou ghly reliable guide
From Askole the party traversed the
Biafo GLACIER as far as the Hispar Pass
Dr. and Mrs workman under tsis' the A guid
ance of Zurbrfggen, made the ascents of

On the arrival Of Mrs. and DR. Work
man at Shigar they determined to attempt
the ascent OF koser Gunge. With that OBJ
ject IN view they Travelled to Yuno, and
established a camp at the elevation of IS
700 feet, from which position the attack
on the mountain was commenced, but it
was not until several years afterward that
difficulties with the coolies were expert
eneed, and on this occasion the party was
only accompanied by two of them. BY
noon they had reached an elevation OF 20 :
900 feet; the cold was intense, with a
strong wind blowing, and Mrs. Workman
was obliged to get Zurbriggen to rub her
hands and pound her feet to restore cir
culation. At this juncture one Of the coon
les gave in and had to be unroped and
sent back, after which they STRUGGLED on
gaining foot by foot until al last The
summit was reached at an elevation Of
2, 600 feet. The party had been out from
camp u hours, and the climbing had been
most difficult, certainly a most wonderful
performance for lady and one of which
