race. and hint that the engineer was

nothing but error after error. 1t looked
strange too, for both are good teams.

HORRIBLE
HOLOCAUST.
Fire at Yazoo City Mednes day
Was the MoSt Terrible
ConfIagration in States

Never in the history of Miss
issippi has any town within her
borders been visited by such dis
astrous conflagration as that
which ragged in Yazoo City last
Wednesday, and which reduced
the once beautiful, prosperous
and progressive town to ashes.
AS a result of this terrible fire
1000 people were left homeless
and property valued at $1,000, 600
destroyed.
1t has aever been fully deter
mined inst exactly how the fire
originated, but it is known that
the flames were discovered in the
home of Mr.. Herman Wise on
Mount street about eight o'clock
in the morning. At this hour
Mrs. Wise had occasion to visit
her parlor, and found the room

was promptly sent in, but the fire
department was HANDICAPPED in its
work by the want of sufficient
pressure, as new water works
system was being installed and
the old one was badly out of re-

special trains, but it was sever al
hours before any of them reach

time the flames ragged with re-
lentless fury, and in short while
practically the entire business
section Of the city was aflame.
The jackson fire department
arrived about II o'clock, but
even after they had reached the
city little could be done, as the
fire had made such rapid pro-
gress that all there was to do was
to wait and allow it to bnrn on
for the want Of further fuel to
feed the flames. BY 4 o'clock,
