LOSS PLACED AT s1oo,oOO.
Block of Buildings Destroyed By Eu,

AAAAm8A DSBNEUXtG HY EWs
 faulR Fire.
 Eufaula, Nov. 20.-(special. )--All that remains of the most beautiful block of buildings in the city Is now a mass of debris and crumblinR walls. Fortunately the flames were confined to the block. The block contained seven stores all of which are a mass of ruins except No. 1 and a portion of No. ' No. is the property of c B. Hart and remains unhurt except by slight damage from water MT. Hart holds policy of $2,00O on the property which will amply cover loss. The remaining stores are the propertv Of Foy Bros, and Scheuer Bros, of this city and are covered by only S5,OOO.
 By the heroic efforts of the fire de- partment the flames did not spread outside the block and No. :. was on- ly partially destroyed. Thousands of cluzens thronEed the streets soon af. ter the alarm was turned in and assis- ted in carrying out the various stocka Of goods and the greater portion of all them were saved. The Military company lost all it's guns and the greater portion of equipments. but did fine service in guarding the goods of which the streets were full.
 The streets were full of cotton which had been turned out for shipment and in one of the instances this caught fire put watchmen soon extinguished it This morning about day break the fire was under full control and Is now com pletely extinguished.
 It Is thought that the fire must have been burning unseen for two or three days and several citizens testify to having smelled fumes for that time.
 No intimation of what will be done with the property has yet been given out but the owners are all prominent In mercantile circles and have ample means to rebuild if they desire to do SO and this will probably be the result. No cause of the fire has yet been ad- vanced and it will perhaps never be known how 1t originated. The loss is estimated at something close to s1OO,- 900.
