YAzOO CITY IN ASHES
MISSISSIPPI TOWN SUFFERS HEAVY
 LOSS BY FIRE.
Citizens Killed By Falling Walls, ana Mayor Holmes is Badly vardaman Orders out Troops
 to Protect Property.

Jackson, Miss, May 25.--Wtth every business house of any importance m ashes, together with large numner of private residences. the principal no tel, and the passenger depot ia.oo City, town of 5000 population. IS to- night resting after one of the most eN citing days in It's history. .-
 The fire started at S:30 o'clock tnis morning and burned until o'cloc$ tnis evening, destroying a total or zoV houses. The financial loss will De the heaviest in the history of Mississippi since the war. The fire was three blocks wide and twelve blocks long The city was putting in new system of water works as the old system which had wooden mains was wholly inadequate to meet the demand. Fipes burst all over the. city, and 1t was impossible to get the water even 10 the first floors of buildings.
 The fire started in the residence or MT. Wise and though there is some uncertainty as how it. originated. the general belief is that it had Its origin in defective electric wiring. Early in the day the authorities of Jackson were called on to render assistance and did so by sending a hose wagon and one of the large engines, the run of forty five miles being made in forty min utes.
 The Jackson fremen worked brave- | ly but could do but little good. man by name of Chambliss, citizen of Yazoo City, was killed by falling walls, and Mayor Holmes was very badly hurt. Information from Yazoo to- night is that he is In precarious con dition. He had been in office but three | or four weeks
 | In the afternoon the fire jumped a bayou and reached Latonia, a residence suburb, where 1t destroyed some of the finest homes. Tonight about sixty families are homeless. This afternoon Governor Vardaman ordered out the Greenwood militia company directing them to go to Yazoo City to protect property. He and Adtutant Genera
 Fridge followed on the next train ant are there tonight doing what they
 can to relieve the situation. The onl, l.communication with Yazoo City to
 night is by means of a long distanc,
 telephone which District Manager Mai l rigged up on a fence.
 Insurance adjusters will leave in tn,
 morning for the stricken city. AmonS
 the buildings which were not burned
 are the Yazoo county court house, an,
 the Kicks Memorial Library, both wer
 in the path of the fire. but for som,
 reason escaped. According to advice
 received tonight the banks succeede,
 in saving their money and securities
 The vaults of the banks in which the,
 were locked being fireproof. The gov
 ernment funds in the postoflce wer
 saved in a like manner
 It is impossible tonight to place q
 accurate estimate on the loss entaile
 by the fire, but it Is thought that .h
 total will be between $2,oo0,0O0 and $2,
 500,000. Some estimates are even q : high as $3,000,00O. The total insuranc Is between $s00,0o0 and $1,00o, 900.
