MILLIONS in ASHES.
Awful Devastation Wrought at
Jacksonville, Fla, by Fire.
One Hundred ana Thirty Blocks OF Business
Houses and Residences We're Burned
and $4,000 People Are without
Homes-Loss, SIC, 100000.

Jacksonville, Fla, May 4.-Jack-
sonville yesterday had the most dis
astrous fire of her existence. Along
the entire length of Beaver street,
from Davis street to the creek on
Liberty street, all buildings have
been destroyed. This is IA solid
blocks of residences. For the same
distance Ashley and Church streets
have both been completely blotted
out. When the fire reached Bridge
street in its eastward course it en-
veloped in flames an area three blocks
wide, taking in Duval, Monroe and
the north side of Adams street, burn
ing that entire section of the CITY
and running ii blocks to the Duval
street bridge. How much further IN
that direction the city is burned it IS
impossible to'learn. the street being
impossible, but it is feared that St.
! Luke's hospital was burned and it is
reported that the Presbyterian church
in East Jacksonville is ablaze. If this
is correct the fire must have extended
five blocks further east. The con-
fiagration, which broke out at 1873
o'clock yesterday afternoon, has COW
cred, as far as is definitely known, a
distance of 2iiG miles by half mile
wide.
The fire department begun to use
dynamite to blow up houses a block
from the fire, hoping thus to prevent
the fire from spreading. So fierce
was the blaze. however, and SO strong
had become the wind, that millions
of sparks and flying burning shingles
spread over five or six blocks, setting
the roofs of the houses on fire in adj
vance of the department. Soon Sem
ator Tailaferro's residence and The
adjoining houses on that block were
ablaze and, in spite of all efforts TO
save the Windsor and st. James ho-
tells both hostelries were quickly ell
veloped in flames. For about an hour
the guests in the Windsor had been
busily pncking their trunks and many
of them had rome away loaded vita
trunks and grips.
Once the fire got started ON Main
street, the closely adjoining buildings
went one after another. Paint shops
with barrels of oil were plentiful in
this district, and as they caught fire,
one after the other, the blaze, rising
hundreds of feet high, quickly set the
buildings across the street on fire.
Six lives were lost in the con-
fagration. The mayor has called "a
meeting of the city council to con-
slider ways and means of relieving the
sufferers.
Later The plans of the city, as pre-
pared by the city surveyors, show
that 100 blocks were burned and part
Of another block. Mayor Bowden at
one o'clock this morning said that
the property loss will exceed $15,OOo,-
900. Ten thousand to $4,000 people
are homeless.

Q sufferer from ca.

cafarrh, as my c1re Is complete"
Hon. B. B. Doviner, Congressman
from West Virginia, in letter from
Washington, d. c., to The Peruna Med
icine Co., says the following of their
catarrh remedy, Peruna:
~ join with my colleagues in the
House of Representatives in recon-
mending your excellent remedy,
Peruna, as good tonic and also an
effective cure for catarrh."
Mrs. Mary C. Fentress writes from
Paradise, Tex, the following: II think
I can say that your good advice and
medicine has cured me Of chronic ca
tarrh. I have had no pains in my head
since have taken Peruna. Ihave been
in bad health ever since 80, and have
taken a good many medicines which
were only of temporary relief. Peruna
is the catarrh cure. The Peruna
stopped my catarrh of the head SO
that it did not become chronic, and !
am very thankful for DR.. Hartman's
advice and medicine"
Peruna is q specific for all catarrhal
diseases. It acts quickly and bene-
ficially upon the infamed mucous
membrane thus removing the cause OF
catarrh.
Catarrh is catarrh wherever located.
Catarrh is essentially the same every
where. The remedy that will cure
catarrh in one situation will cure it in
all situations.
If you do not derive prompt and sat-
isfactory results from the use OF Peru
ma, write at once to DR.. Hartman, Civ
ing full statement of your case and
he will be pleased to give you his val
liable advice gratis.
