COSTLY FIRE AT LOUISIANA.
Block of Buildings Destroyed and
Others More OF Less Damaged.

LOUISIANA, No, Oct. 29.-This cts
was visited by a destructive fire to
night, which, on account Of q high
wind, threatened TO burn several
blocks In the heart Of the town. The
fire started In the stables OF r. c.
Haley, Sr., and completely destroyed
the stables, three icehouses and a cold
storage building, In which were two
carloads Of apples. All Of this prop
erty belonged to Mr.. Haley and covered
nearly a block. His loss is about Q 5000
with nc Insurance.
The warehouses Of the Continental
Tobacco Company were finally saved
by hard work, but not until they were
badly damaged. This loss is fully COW
cred by insurance. Several small
houses were damaged, but the fire is
now under full control.
