BIG FIRES IN THE SOUTH
New Orleans and Hot Springs Visited
by Disastrous ConRagrations'
DOCKS AND TERMINALS BURNED

The Illinois CentraIs Freight fianoi'hS
Facilities in the Crescent City De-
stroyed, Causing a Loss of Millions OF
Dollars Worth of Property Many
Bales of Cotton Burn.
New Orleans, lathe worst fire
ever known in New Orleans, entail
ing a loss in excess of S5,00o,0o0, start
ed at the docks and wharves of the
Illinois Central Railroad, known as the
Stuyvesant Docks. and occupying near
" a mile front on the Mississippi River,
in the very certre of the city.
The docks were built six years ago
and named in honor Of Stuyvesant
Fish, President of the Illinois Central.
They were the finest freight terminals
in the South, and handled more than
half the grain trade of New Orleans
and nearly half the total commerce OF
the port. The loss is confined almost
wholly to the railroad and the freight
in its warehouses awaiting shipment
to Europe.
The freight terminals of the Illinois
Central, including the immense grain
elevators, the sugar sheds and the cot
ton warehouses, were wiped out. Inc
loss is estimated at from S3,00O,0O to
S4,OOO,0OO, and the fire, coming at this
time, injured the export grain business
of New Orleans immensely.
The two elevators which were de-,
stroyed. had q capacity Of over a mil
lion bushels of corn, and both of them
were partially filled. About fifty cot.
tages in the neighborhOod of the fire
were burned, and for a time it seemed
that all that part of the city was
doomed. The fire originated in the
conveyor of one of the big elevators,
and spread along the river front for a
mile with lightning-like rapidity. Five
thousand bales of cotton and l2.OOO
barrels of sugar were destroyed. Ten
ocean steamers. which were at the
piers, were badly scorched, but were
saved.
So far as can be learned, no lives
were lost, although there were many
narrow escapes. Sixty freight cars IN
the yards are a total loss. The local
Fire Department practically threw up
it's hands early, and the fire spread
without interference until all the ter
minals were destroyed.
The Illinois Central carried its own
fire risk and had, it is understood, 3d.
900, 900 in it's sinking fund to the credit
Of its fire fund.
The loss is almost complete. The
docks with yards covered nearly fifty
acres Of ground. Officials Of the rail-
road say that it will take the railroad
nearly a year to restore its terminal
facilities.

The Value of Serenity.

One Of 1.-The mostsdificait things to do
in the world sometimes'ls to keep ones
temper.A calm serenity of temper and
a self-control whichskeeps aperson un-
rufied amid the pettyaannoyances and
lies Of everyday life indicate the pos
session of perfect mental health. Now
adays people are very fond Of saying
so-and-so was lust mad" meaning
very angry, but it would be well If
temper were more oftensssariously re
garded as madness. It maybe pre-
yentab bic Smadness, but madness it is
while 1t lasts, and ftereAsseidom any
one, who is made more unhappy by it
than the person who gives way to 1t.
In our treatment of the ill-tempered
the cultivation Of the art Of not hear
ingwill be very helpful. 1t Is a useful
art all through life.-Chicago NewsS

Hot Springs, Ark. This city was
visited by a disastrous early morning
fire, entailing a loss c~onservatively es-
timated at S2.OOO,O 900 and costing the
lives of five persons. The charred bod
les of three women were found in the
ruins of the Grand Central Hotel next
morning, and later the bodies of two
men were taken out.
In the South Hot Springs cottage
district, which was destroyed, several
persons are missing, but it IS not
known that any loss of life occurred
there. The fire started in the Grand
Central Hotel, at Central avenue and
Chapel street, in the southern part Of
the city. A high wind was blowing
and the flames quickly spread to the
south and west. The Plateau Hotel.
the Hotel Moody, the GARNER flats and
several lodging houses were quickly.
destroyed.
The fire department rendered good
service until the water pressure gave
out for two hours, when the area was
left to the mercy Of the flames. Duff
fie's general store, IL Of the largest
in the city, is a total loss.
Over 100 houses were destroyed before
the flames were checked. The district
between Ouachita avenue and Prospect
street was swept by the flames. More
than 1000 people are homeless. Fortu-
nately the cold weather has passed
and springlike temperature prevails.
The streets are filed with merchan-
disc taken from stores in the threat
ened district.
The main hotels, the Eastman, Park
and Arlington, are safe, as are also
both railroad stations.
