temporary, blow at the immense export
trade Of New Orleans, swept the river
front Sunday night and wiped out the
vast freight terminals of the Illinois
Central Railroad, known as the Stuy-

modern wharves and freight sheds, two
magnificent grain elevators. hundreds
"f loaded cars and vast quantities of
freight. including 10000 bales of cotton
were destroyed, together with a large
number Of small residences The fire
was still raging furiously at midnight,

equipped with gigantic water tanks and
fire-eXtinguishing apparatus. but the
blaze, small at the beginning. almost
instantly got beyond control, communi-
eating through the cOnveyers to the
lower elevator and some of the sheds.
The response of the fire department was
prompt but because of the fact that
the terminals were inaccessible, owing
to tracks, the engines found difficulty
in reaching the flames. In half an hour
the fire covered two squares and the
lower elevator was practically con-
sumed, the fire sweeping up and down
the river. AS soon as it became known
that the scene Of the fire was the Stuy-
vesant docks, harbor tugs hastened
