SAVED IN PART BY DYNAMITE.
Halifax Shaken by Terrific Explosions
Which Hurl Buildings Sl<yward
and Check Fire.

Halifax, n. S., Sept. ia fortunate
shift of wind saved Halifax from de-
struction by fire today Nevertheless
the city suffered a loss of half a mil
lion dollars in the business part of
the water front, and the progress Of
the flames was only stayed by the dy-
namiting of a dozen buildings by the
sailors from the fleet and soldiers from
the garrison.
The fire consumed six Wharves, two
coal piers, two hotels, a dozen ware
houses and number of retail shops.
During the fire a large tree fell, kill
ing Flora Ring, twenty-eight years,
and wounding two others.
The entire city department was en-
gagged at the fire.
Admiral Sir Archibald Douglass per-
sonally directed the sailors in protect.
ing imperial property, and two hun
dred marines patrolled the streets. One
firerSan was fatally injured by live
wire while another was badly hurt by
falling slate.
The burned district, which covered
about two acres, was one of wooden
buildings three and four stories high,
many of them built years ago when
Halifax merchants dealt heavily in fish.
The buildings We're saturated with
FISH oil and burned fiercely.
Every effort on the part of the fire
men to stay the flames was futile and
the business men of the city saw little
before them but a repetition of the
Baltimore confiagration.
Then came the providential shift of
wind.
BY this time the government officials
had assumed full charge of the sit
uation, for not far ahead was the big
ordnance yard with thousands of tons
of powerful explosives. A party of
sailors, together with q company OF
royal engineers landed to the north
of the fire and began blowing up
buildings. For an hour the entire city
shook with the terrific explosions.
More than q dozen buildings were lev
elled and at seven o'clock the fire had
reached the cleared space where it

BADGER PICTURE HERE.
One of the North Carolina Secretary
of the Navy in Office of Clerk of
Court Russ.

1t has been recently sent out from
Washington that until q few days ago
all efforts to secure a likeness of Judge
Geo. S. Badger, of n. c., Secretary of
the Navy in 1871, had proven unsuc-
cessful till the discovery of an oil
painting of that gentleman in an un-
used store room at the Naval Acade-
my. This picture was the only ono
needed to completee the collection Of
Secretar. es of the Navy.
And all this time there has been a
picture, and a fine one, in Raleigh. 1t
is now hanging above the desk OF
Clerk of the Court Russ in the court
house, and has been in the court house
for the past twenty years, having been
presented to the Clerk of the Court
Charles d. Upchurch by Mr.. Richard
S. Badger.
The picture is a Autograph and il
represents Secretary Badger as past
the middle age, the face mild and be-
nevolent, the dress tht of the gentle
men of sixty years ago. The picture
has under it "P. S. Duval & Co., Stone
Lith Press, Philadelphia" To the left
is painted by Job Vanderlyn," and to
the right "On Stone by A. Newsam."
At the bottom of the picture is, III
fac-simile of Mr.. Badgers writing, 81
am most faithfully yours, Geo. e. Bad
GER
This picture, unlike that found at
Annapolis, has no mustache and is
evidently one of later years than tho
newly found oil painting. The lith-
ograph is a fine one and is highly
priced at the court house.

points down the Chesapeake Bay in
