smoking ruins is all that remains of the
Atlantic Hotel, the massive Columbia
office building, which adjoined the ho-
tel, the Albemarle Flats and a block of
stores in the center of the city, The
conhagration, one of the greatest in the
history of Norfolk, broke out shortly
before o'clock in the morning, and
when finally subdued nearly a million
dollars worth of property had been de-
stroyed. The loss is believed to be fully
covered by insurance The flames
started in the Columbia, which is the
largest but one of Norfolk's Office build
ings. 1t was a structure six stories
high, and was built in 1892 by David
Lowenberg, its owner The fire was
first discovered at E55 o'clock, and
shortly afterward over 1000 gallons of
whisky stored in the building exploded
with terrific force tearing out the front
wall. The firemen were driven back by
the explosion, and before they could
get a stream of water on the flames the
entire building was afire.

Out In a Second.

Chicago, (Special) Thirteen lives
we're lost many people slightly injured,
two buildings, at 373 and 374 Twenty
second street, we're wrecked and $4,000
damage was done by an explosion of
gas at the intersection of Twenty second
street and Archer avenue
The list of injured may be extended
to IS or 100, as there were many people
in the neighborhood who sustained slight
injuries from flying glass or slight
bruises caused by falls, but whose names
have not been reported. Only one of
the bodies of the dead--that of little
Lena Trostle-has been recovered. All
that is known of the fate of the other I2
reported dead is that they are thought to
have been--the most of them are known
to have benin the demolished houses,
and since the explosion no trace OF them
has been found.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning There was a dazzling
FASH deafening roar and cloud or
dust and shattered timbers marked where
the Trostle house had stood.
Two other explosions of gas followed
so quickly that it was hard to distin-
guish them First TO explode was main
at Twenty street and Archer
avenue. Then the manhoe half block
south on Archer avenue was thrown into
the air by a loud explosion. Flames
leaped and roared from the hole. The
FIRE spread below the street and smaller
manholes were blown into tie air.
The flames from the first gas main
shot high into the air and reached, with
the aid of the wind, the Trostle butcher
shop The building was three-story
frame structure, and it had been weak
ened and nearly wrecked by the shock
1t is supposed that the occupants of
the building were knocked unconscious
Or were too panic-stricken to rush from
the place The flames caught the
weather-worn timbers. The dry and
rotting wood was food for the fire, and
in an instant the flames had enveloped
the structure With a roar the building
collapsed, and the occupants, with one
exception, were carried with it to the
basement. The adjoining building fared
up, the next building was wrapped in
flames and then another structure caught
FIRE. 1t seemed that the whole block
would be wiped out before the fremen
could bring the blaze under control. A
Gre wall of brick at the corner of Archer
avenue and Twenty second street held
the fire in that direction.

senate the justice of the peace from

frequent vile resorts which cluster IN
