Friday night about midnight
the large saw mill of Messrs.
Brownell & Drews, at Morgan
City, was discovered to be on fire,
and in less than two hours the
luIlber and single mills were en-
tirely consumed. The loss is close
to 500, 900, with no insurance, so
we learned. The shingle shed
and contents, many railroad ties
ana lumber near the mill, and
three loaded cars were also burn
ed The immense field of stacked
lumber was saved. The mill was
one of the finest in the State, with
the latest improved machinery
Two hundred people are thrown
out Of employment, who were
paid of every week, and the des-
truction of this mill will also be
felt by the business people of that
town. Messrs. Brownell & Drews,
the owners, have the sympathy OF
the entire community in their
great loss.

In estimating the territory that

people ordinarily reckon the num-

dents of the town. If the trades
men do not reach out after trade

speed, the ship entered the Harhor
and passed the other ships of the
squadron at anchor, then proceeding
10 the upper harbor, where the battle
ship Illinois. with Admiral Barker on
board was anchored. The Hearsarge
covered 1900 miles in nine days and
four and one-quartcr hours coming
from Portsmouth, England.
The highest speed attained was a
little over 15 knots an hour and the
slowest was 10. Three times during
the trip the ship was slowed dowG
once on account of being in the yicin
ity of an iceberg and twice ON account
of a very thick fog. Head winds anc
thick weather retarded the speed Of
tthe ship. and u2der favorable coGdi
2tims she would have covered the dis
tance in less than nine days.
The trip of the HearsarEe has dem
onstrated that q ship of her class car
maintain an average speed OF over Il
knots on a long voyage without injury
to her machinery; that her coal carry
ing capacity is adequate for trip OF
4 1000 miles under full speed; that il
