Business Houses Wiped Out.

All the important business houses
we're wiped out. The fire area covers
t~wcnty-eight blocks and destroyed 81
houses. One hundred and thirty-tiye
firms were put out of business for the
time. Eighty-seven residences occupied
by white families were destroyed. in
very few instances was anything saved
except the clothes the occupants wore.
Five churches belonging to white con-
gregations and two negro churches we're
burned. The loss on church property
is over $1,000 not including the negro
churches.
All the business of the city is now
conducted at the south end of Main
street, except that which is going on in
tents, A fye-and-ten-cent store occu-
pies a structure made OF dry goods
boxes. For several days a photograph
inr establishment was carried on in the
icehouse. The courthouse building is
the "hub" Of the city. 1t is the only
courthouse of its kind in the United
States or the world just at this time.

The Situation Serious.

While there is no actual suffering, so
far AZ food and shelter is concerned, the
situation is nevertheless serious. For
months to come the committee will have
to dispense aid in n way or another.
The people are living in the bones Of
friends, and not in tents. As many az
seven live in one room. II is feared
that this condition will produce sick
ness. In that ease the need Of assist
ance would be- almost doubled in any
particular family. As yet no plans have
been formulated for l%essening the
crowded state of the homes left stand
ing in the city. Many mon sleep on
galleries with nothing but a quilt or
blanket beneath them, giving the rooms
to the women and children.
Need will exist until the city Is re-
built, and that will require several
months. That is why Yazoo City and
its citizens have called for outside as
sistance. Unless the fund now in the
hands Of the relief committee is in
creased much suffering will result in a
very snort time.
Many contracts have been awarded
for the building of new structures, and
the work will be pushed forward as
4 w
rapidly as possible.

NEEDED FOR VICTIMS
OF THE YAzOO CITY FIRE
Relief Committee Well Organized and is Doing
a Splendid Work in the Fire-Swept Town.
New Orleans Tlmes-Demoerat.

Visit Yazoo City if You want to COM
prehcnd the scope and extent Of the fire
which a few days ago devastated this
place. Even the imagination is startled
at the wreck produced by the flames.
\ good panoramic view can be had
from the summit of one OF the tallest
hills immediately northwest of the city.
This hill rises to n height of about three
hundred feet above the Gazoo river.
One can get a bird's-eye view Of the
entire city from this ~promontory. Look
ing Just a little south Of west the full
fire area comes into view. For a mile
in one direction the path of the fire is
plainly visible. Then the trail changes,
turning back toward the point Of view.
The wind had shifted, the resident guide
will tell you, and the iirepath ends al
most where it began. This appears to
be an eccentric fact, because a number
OF houses are in the loop, among them
the courthouse but it is explained that
the wind shifted bearing the destroying
force along on its breath to the west
end of the city, not a block north of
where the flames started. One Of the
last buildings to burn was not three
hundred yards from the place where the
fire started, while the farthest away is
fully n mile.

In Weed of Assistance.

1t is the object of the committee to
render assistance only where it is ac-
tually needed. A case in point, which
shows the policy Of the committee, is
that of 4 widow with six children. Two
Of them, both girls, we're employed at
the time Of the fire. The other four
children are all dependent. Every
worldly possession except the clothes
they had on was destroyed, including
the place where the girls were en-
| ploycd. The committee gave the wild
Iow 5000.
Another case Of a fireman, who also
had regular employment, appealed with
considerable force to the committee.
While he was fighting the fire his home
was destroyed. The stable was left.
He used some planks to put a floor in
the stalls, and is occupying them as liv-
ing rooms. lie did not call for aid, but
| the committee asccrtained his condition
and advanced him some money, guaran-
tceing to pay him the amount Of his
salary until the business life Of the city
is restored. These instances are point
ed out to illustrate the work which the
committee is doing, and the manner in
which it is being done.
The task which confronts the commit
tee is that Of meeting a pay roll amount
ing to more than $4,000 q month until
such time as the men and women can
return to work and become self-sus-
ing.

A Picture of Ruin.

Seeing the devastated district from
the summit of the hill easily arouses
the poetic mind. The city presents the
picture of some ancient ruins. The
Jagged walls look like those being eaten
away by time. Chimnoys standing lone
some in the spaces Of ruined homes arc
grim and solemn. The trees are no
longer green. Their limbs and leaves
rattle with a metallic sound when moved
by the wind. Where flowers and plants
and grass grew in luXuriancc there is
naught but the smootllc surface of the
earth. One is impellcd to think of Nero
and his fiddle when looking at the havoc
wrought in the burned city, and to won-
der if the wind and the flames were not
on a drunken carOuSal. Perhaps if
Nero's ghost sat on the hills that night
and saw Yazoo City all but deyour-
ed by the flames its memory went rush
ing back through the centuries to look
on the other picture.
But there is another viewpoint from
which to look on the scene. 1t is one
that touches the heartstrings instead of
the poetic fancics of the mind. TO see
the real picture one must descend the
slopes from the summit and walk among
the ruins. The square tower Of the
Catholic Church then looks taller than
5hc height itself. Heaps Of brick and
mortar fill the vision at every turn.
The peak Of the Presbyterian Church
spire in falling turned downward. The
lirc moved on the courthouse, but it was
protected by trees, and although there
is no life in them now they saved the
public building. The business portion,
except a few squares in the south end
Of the city, was completely wiped out,
and the fire moved north as far as Canal
a mile away. In its sweep northward
nothing was left except the ground over
| which it travelled.

There are two dispensaries of soft SUM-
mer drinks and a news stand in the
front yard, a drugstore and two barber
| shops on the first Iioor and in the halls,
while a dentist occupies space at the
head of the steps on the second floor.
In the courthouse, in other words, q
tooth may be pulled, a lawsuit filed and
a haircut had, while justice is being dis
pcnsed at the same time.
The courthouse and the Kicks Mem
orial Library were the only public
buildings left in the city. All the news

shops, and barbershops, butchershops
and markets, doctors and dentists Of
fees, and all but one drugstore and IL
fancy grocery house, We're burned, The
undertakcrs were burned ont, and not a
coffin was left in the city. If the fire
had occurred at night many would have
been needed, as many lives would have
been lost. These facts are stated mere
~ to give q clear idea of the extent Of
the fire,

the ruins, and will resume its place
among the commercial cities of the
Delta said G. II. Williams, President
Of the Bank Of Yazoo City. What we
are concerned with now is to relieve
the distress due to this awful fire. With
the generous assistance which is com
ing from the outside | know that we
will DO able to meet the situation"

Relief Is a Necessity.

1t is estimated that from 500 to 1000
persons, male and female, were thrown
out of employment. About $50 of these
were young women employed as clerks
in various stores. 1t is conseryatiyly
estimated that a monthly salary roll of
an amount varying from $4,000 to 500
900 has thus been stopped. Barring the
bank clerks and postoflce help all those
who were employed in the burned es-
adjustments are still out of employ
mcnt, except the worry few who have
left the city. There is plenty of work
for the manual Iaborer in clearing away
debris.
Mayor Holmes and the relief commit
tee, composed Of fifteen citizens, and
represented in active work by the
mayor and the five white ministers, are
handling the relief work. The policy
adopted has been to advance n
months pay to those thrown out of en-
ployment who are not able to take care
Of themselves, Each case is carefully
investigated. Families are furnished
with the amount which the head of the
family was earning at the time Of the
fire. In some instances, where several
members of the family we're working,
the amount advanced is reduced. The
committee has assisted many families
already, but the same manner of as
sistancc will have to be repeated until
normal conditions are restored. The
people cannot leave the city because
they would be no better off elsewhere,
and, besides, most Of them have lived
there for years and desire to remain.
They will resume thor former occupa-
lions as soon as the work Of rehabilita-
ton is completed. Until that time they
will have to be aided by the relief cOm-
mittcc. This policy will be followed as
to the distribution Of aid.

The decision was filed Monday in
the United States court of appeals in
st. Paul dismissing the appeal of
Camille-Weidenfeld in the famous
Peter Power case. The appeal was
from the decree of the United States
circuit court disnlissing the appellants
intervening petition in the case of
Peter Power against the Northern
Pacific railway. The suit originated
in the district court of Hennepin
county at the time the first steps were
taken toward the consummation Of
the railway merger. Peter Power
claimed to own 100 shares Of the COM
mon stock of the Northern Pacific and
sought an injunction to restrain the
Northern Pacific from combining With
the Great Northern and Burlington
and also to prevent the retirement of
the S15.0O0,OtO of preferred stock. 1t
was shown that Power never owned
any Northern Pacific stock. by the
time the case came to trial the stock
had been retired and Camille Weiden-
field then sought TO have the action de-
claled Illegal. The court claimed that
the Northern Pacific acted entirely
within it's right.

DULUTH NEWS.

The funeral services of James Fitz-
gerald, who died at ST. Mary's lospi-
tai last week, were held at the Sacred
Heart cathedral Wednesday morning
at 9 o'clock. The deceased was vet
eran marine engineer, who for years
had sailed between Chicago and Du-
luth. During the past fifteen years
age and ill-health prevented him from
working, and during all that time he
had made his home ut the hospital.
In early manhood he was married, but
lost his wife many years ago. OF his
three children, two daughters died
shortly after completing college
course in Chicago. A son, James Fitz-
gerald, who for many years was an
influential business man of st. Paul
and Minneapolis, married the daugh-
ter of st. Paul physician, but less
than two years after the marriage he
dled. His wife has since married
John w. Willis, a prominent attorney
and former Judge of st. Paul. Thurs
day of last week Mr.. Fitzgerald was
in his accustomed place in chapel for
morning services. Later he seemed
much as usual, until the afternoon,
when he took decided change. The
hospital chaplain was summoned at
his request and he was prepared for
death. Shortly after he sank into a
state of coma, which lasted until Sun
day morning, when the Pickering
..spark of life Of the old man of 80
years went out.
