packing house belonging to the Santa
Paula Commercial company took fire
in some unaccountable manner early
Saturday evening and was not dscov-

headway that nothing could be done

the office fixtures and records were
saved.
. 1t is thought there was something
like $4,000 worth of beans, dried
fruits and nuts in the building, which
was mostly covered by insurance,
though it is thought one lot of beans,
about $4,000 worth belonging to A. Levy
of Oxnard, was not insured The build
ing was insured for $4,000.
The Commercial people had orders
to ship three cars and one of them
was partially loaded with beans, and
large part of those were saved, but
the car and also two other freight
cars were entirely burned. A small
storage building near by was also
burned and thiS- greatly endangered a

BURNED WHARvES
WILL De REBUILT
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 27.-With the
fire that destroyed its immense export
terminals still burning, though power
less to do further damage, the Illinois
Central railroad announced today that,
as soon as the ruins cool, forces will be
put to work to clear away the debris,
and Stuyvesant docks and elevators
will be promptly rebuilt on a more
elaborate and substantial scale than
before.
The railroad company carried its
own insurance, and the contents of the
various elevators and sheds were in
sured in the local and foreign agencies.
Apparently no lives were lost in the
fire, though there were many narrow
escapes of those who were engaged in
fighting the flames, owing to its rapid
spread, and lives were constantly en-
dangered by debris of all kinds that
was whirled through the air. The es-
cape of two fire engines was cut off and
their crews had to run for their lives,
Driver Charles Richardson of Nof 6
being painfully hurt.
Fire Started in Elevator
The fire started in the conveyers to
elevator D. 1t sperad with remark
able rapidity, sparks dropping into oil
barrels on the wharf and extending
the flames in every direction. Ten
ships were lying at the docks when
the fire started and all except two
escaped without damage.
The Indian, of the Leland line, had
her rails, cabin house, masts, &C.,
wipd clean off and the Cycle was
burned about the bow and sides. All
the tugs in the harbor that had steam
up hurried to the scene when the fire
started and by heroic efforts succeeded
in pulling the steamers into the river
out of reach of the flames.
Superintendent C. NJ. Dunn directed
the forces of the railroad company for
several hours, and, when the fire was
under control, went to the office of the
company where he spent the night in
wire communication with officials east
and west. settling the lines for clearing
the wreckage away.
He said that it was probable that
the piers, elevators and sheds could be
restored within a year and that they
would be made more extensive and
substantial than those destroyed Mr.
Dunn said, in hos opinion, the fire Or
iginated from spontaneous combustion.
Throughout the night and today
many messages passed between the
local officials and the head offices OF
the company in New York and Chi
cago, and arrangements were set on
foot to take care of the traffic now
en- route here and to provide for hand
ling the export trade of the company
until the docks are rebuilt.
The Texas e. Pacific has an immense
elevator at West Wego. and there also
is an elevator at Chalmette the prop
erty of the Frisco. General Manager
Preston of the latter road rendered the
use of the Chalmette property to the
Illinois Central. and 1t is probable that
the traffic will be handled to that point.

CALIFORNIA WOMAN.
is SAVED BY HER GOODNESS
lerial Machine Suddenly Ascends
with Wife of Inventor, But She
Punctures Gas Bag and
Returns to Earth.

Oakland, GAIA thousand feet up in
the air, all alone in runaway airship,
ignorant of the mechanism that drove
it, Mrs. George E. Heaton saved herself
the other afternoon from disaster by
the exercise of daring GOODNESS never.
before surpassed in the history of aerial
navigation.
Allowed to leave the ground by acct
dent while she was sitting at rest in her
husbands airship, she scared away in
the machine, and after travelling sew
eral miles over Berkeley and Oakland
she succeeded in bursting the huge bag
that contained the gas that sustained
her in the air.
To her GOODNESS and resource is due
the fact that she did not meet death as
the result of her flight in the air. Seeing
that she was about to drift out into the
bay, Mrs. Heaton first attempted to let
the gas out of the bag above the ma
chine by puncturing it. She reached up
from the carriage in which she was
seated, and with hatpin tried to make
a hole in the bag But the sides of il
were too thick, and in her frantic eff
forts she tore at it with teeth and nails
to make hole. All of her attempts
were in vain until she tried again to
pull the rope that governed the escape
valve. Although she had tried this once
before and had failed, she pulled at it
again, finding at first that twist in the
rope prevented it from working She
then UNFINISHED it carefully by swinging
the rope, and when she had it straight
gave pull that opened hole in the top
of the bag and let the airship down to
the ground.
The airship escaped from Idora park,

Coke, and they were picturesque pair,
both being large, massive men physical
ly, and very ponderous in their manner
of speaking.
Mr.. Reagan will be remembered more
particularly because he was the last
member of the confederate cabinet. and
on his death all that body have passed
away. He was postmaster general I'M
der Jefferson Davis, and was the only
one Of the cabinet who was captured
with Jefferson Davis. He was confined
for many months in the military prison
at Fort Warren. He had many confer
ences with President Johnson, Secretary
Seward, Henry Wilson, afterwards vice
president; James Speed and others on
the subject of reconstruction. In the
light of the history of that period and of
the years since. the wisdom of many
of Mr.. Reagan's suggestions is appar-
ent. He wrote an open letter to the
people of Texas advocating laws for
the protection of negroes, which should
grant them civil rights and limited po-
lit1cal rights, with an educational quail

his ideas, and he was retired from poll

LADIES KISSED PET DOGS.
Three Of the CANNES Dead and Some
of Women Violently Ill
as a Result.

st. Paul, Minn.-Can women kiss a
dog once day for 80 days? AS the
result of bet on this subject at Noun
tain Lake one woman is seriously i'll,
five are under physicians care, three
dogs are dead and other CANNES are
exhibiting strange symptoms.
All this came about as the result of
the wager made by John Angelhardt, a
wealthy church member, with six
women prominent in aid society work
in an exclusive church.
At meeting of the Aid society An
gelhardt was much amused at a Miss
Nettleson's custom of frequently kiss
ing her poodle on the mouth. His mer-
riment provoked the other women, and
all declared that they were in the habit
of kissing their dogs, and thought it
a nice custom.
Angelhardt then made wager that
six women could not kiss their dogs
once daily for 80 days, the OSCILLATION
to be performed Immediately after
breakfast. The women took the bet.
If they succeeded Angelhardt was to
pay them the second time for every
thing sold at the coming annual church
fair. II they failed they were to make
for him duplicate Of everything sold
at the fair.
After the kissing had gone on en-
days the Misses Keidler and Yeast be-
came violently ill.
