Other Fires.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-Fire that broke out
early to-day destroyed the five-story brick
building at 1912 Illinois street, with it's
contents, causing a loss of about $4,000.
The first and second floors were occupied
by the Douchy iron works and the upper
floors by l.. Il. Smith Shoe Dressing Com
pany. Heavy machinery in the upper part
of the building caused the floors to collapse
and the entire contents of the structure
crashed through into the cellar.
ROANOKE, Va, Jan. 3O.-The little town
of Ivanhoe, in Wythe county, was almost
destroyed by fire early this morning The
stores of j. w. Miller, T.. II. Huddles, J.
c. Lawson, Pierce & Co., a new brick
building just completed and intended for a
bank, two grocery stores, the postoffice and
several dwellings were burned. The losses
have not yet been learned
NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-The car shed of
the Paterson Electric Railway Company, in
Passaic, n. j., was destroyed by fire to-
day. All the cars in the shed, fifty in num-
Der, were burned. The loss is $4,000.

LOSSES IN ARKANSAS.
Probably Over 81 coo, 600 Worth of
Property Destroyed.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Jan. 80. - Tele-
graph and telephone lines are Frustrated,
railway traffic is interrupted and business
practically at a standstill as the result
of the unprecedented sleetstorm in many
parts of Arkansas. Advices from Jones'
boro, Pine Bluff and many other points in
dictate the property damage is heavy. In
Little Rock the losses to mercantile stocks
and buildings will aggregate $4,000 The
damage was due TO the storm of sleet snow
and rain which prevailed from Tuesday
morning until after daylight Wednesday.
The sleet fell to a depth Of about six
inches and Immediately packed into a
solid mass of ice. The weight was too
much for the roofs of both business houses
and residences, and the inevitable hap
pened. The roofs sagged and the seams OF
the tin on roofs of that kind being sepa-
rated, a melting mass ran through.
Communication cannot be had with many
parts of the State, and it is believed when
belated reports are in the damage will foot
up in the millions. 1t is the worst vista
tion OF the kind in the history Of Arkansas.

RACING AND BREEDING.
Report of the New York State Com
missiOn-Sales of Horses.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O-The New York
State Racing Commissioners, August Bel
mont Z. D. Morgan and John Sanford,
in their annual report to the State Legis-
lature, find the business of teh racing as
sociations and the breeding industry for
the year 1901 to have more than fulfilled
expectations. They believe the stability
of the breeding industry can be best main
tanned by breeding thoroughbred horses.
which is the first essential. over night
races we must have" says the report, but
no racing association should be permitted
to cOnfne itself TO these overnight races.
Ii cannot do so and fill any needed or de-
sirable place in the racing system of this
State.
"Racing to be successful must be con-
Quoted on business principles. but racing,
as a business, and without reference to its
effect on breeding or upon the standard
demand, is not to be encouraged" is an
other point made by the commissioners
report.
1t is pointed out that last year the sales
of thoroughbreds at public auction in this
State amounted to $l,621, 7SS-a sum far in
excess of any ever before realized in any
single year. OF this amount $S61, 642 was
paid for yearlings; 1920 076 for brood mares /;
$4,000 for horses in training; $4,000 for
stations and $5S 900 for weanlings. There
we're 1077 yearlings sold, and as they real
lied $S61,0S4, the average was a fraction
in excess of $500 a head.

Cuba might be benefited. The President,

terested in building up the industries of
Cuba when this could be done with only a
minimum loss TO this country.

FLOOD FOLLOWS SLEET
KENTUCKY RIVER OVERLOOKING
LOWER PORTIONS OF FRANKFORT.
Storm Damage at Lexington and Pa
ducah, Where Darkness still
Reigns-Heavy Losses.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Jan. 3O.-Frankfort
is tonight threatened with the worst flood
in her history. The Kentucky river con-
tinues to rise at a rate of ten inches an
hour. Lower parts of the city are already
submerged, forcing occupants of houses
in that part of the city to upper stories,
and the biggest part of the food the thir-
ty-foot rise from Beattyville, has not yet
reached here. Added TO this, rain began
falling tonight. and If 1t should continue
and take the heavy coat of snow and sleet
off at once. the result will be far more
serious than the big rise OF 1884 which
wrought great damage and suffering. Light
and power are things Of the past, and great
havoc has been played with trees and other
property.
