HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE
PROPERTY VALUED At FIVE MIL
LION DOLLARS DESTROYED
At NEW ORLEANS.
MODERN WHARVES, SHEDS, ELE.
vAToRs, FREIGHT CARS AND
HOUSES BURNED.


ing millions of dollars loss in property
and that strikes blow at the immense
trade export of New Orleans, swept
the river front at night and wiped out
the vast freight terminals of the nli-
nois Central, known as the Stuyvesant
docks. Nearly a dozen squares of
modern wharves and freight sheds, two
magnificent grain elevators, hun
dreds of loaded cars and vast quanti-
ties of freight, including 10000 bales
of cotton, were destroyed, together
with large number of small resi-
denes. The fire was still raging fu-
riously at midnight, at which time it
had almost reached the upper end of
the Illinois Central property.
1t has not been determined whether
there has been any loss of life. The
ocean-going shipping seems to have
escaped serious damage. A number
of tremen and employees of the docks
were injured. Actual estimates of the
losses are impossible at present,
though they may exceed 100000.
The Stuyvesant docks extended from
Louisiana avenue almost to Napoleon
avenue, distance of twelve squares.
The wharves between these two points
were covered with miles of trackage
and steel and iron sheds ran the
whole distance.
Work of Years Wiped Out,
The two grain elevators were of the
most modern construction, the upper
one having a capacity of 100000
bushels. Thousands of bales of cot
ton, several hundred thousand pack
ages of sugar, great quantities of cot
tonseed oil and oil-cake, lumber and
every conceivable variety of freight
filled the warehouses and sheds. Prac-
tically all the export business handled
by the Illinois Central was put aboard
ships at these docks. The docks and
improvements have been under con-
structiOn for ten years past.
The fire was discovered shortly after
z O'Clock. 1t was said to have result
ed from a journal that had not been
sufficiently oiled. The whole plant was
equipped with gigantic water tanks
and fire extinguishing apparatus, but
the blaze, small at the beginning, al
most instantaneously got beyond con-
troll, communicating through the con-
veyors to the lower elevator and some
of the sheds. The response of the fire
department was prompt but owing to
the fact that the terminals were not
readily accessible because of fences
and tracks the engines found difficulty
In reaching the flames. In half an
hour the Are covered two squares, the
lower elevator was practically consum-
cd and the fire was sweeping with ir-
resistible fury both up and down the
river. Harbor tugs hastened to the
whRrves and vessels that were moor
Cd there were pulled out into the river.
Switch engines were rushed to the
wharves and hundreds of loaded
freight cars were drawn to points
above the upper end of the terminals
before the FIRE reached them. Hum
drads more, however. were consumed.
Many Residences Destroyed.
The wind was blowing down the
river rs the blaze began and the are

therefore, today virtually two govern
ments in Russia. one represented by
Whites cabinet, the other embodied in
a council of workmen's delegates.
While Whites cabinet stands there is
still hopes for Russia, but when it dis
appears the government will end. The
cars guards are being boycotted by
the strikers and no shop is allowed to
sell them provisions. According to

New York, Dec. S.-The "Overlord"
of the Equitable Life Assurance COM
pany, Thomas F. Ryan, was the star
witness in today's Investigation, and
his testimony is deeply interesting. II
was to the effect that a tremendous
financial panic was averted by his
Equitable purchase. He was quite i'm
pressive and not at all as sensational
as in his former statement. He said
that he bought tine hyde stock be-
cause he believed that by so doing he
could prevent the Most tremendous
panic the country had eve: seen.
which. in his opinion, would surely
have followed had the Equitable been
put into the hands of a receiver. Mr.
Ryan said that after his purchase Pres
ident Hartman of the Union Pacific
desired to share in IA deal. Under
pressure, he declared that the state
ment hal Hartman would force an
investigation If he wasn't allowed in
the deal was untrue. Mr.. Hartman,
he said, had never made such a threat.

Governor Would Not Interfere.


White River Junction, VT, Dec. s.
The hour for the execution of Mrs.
Mary ReSers was set for 1870 p. m,
after Governor Bell this morning again
announced that he would not interfere.
Lawyer Flynn, the woman's chief coun-
sci, gave up hopes when the governor
said: "Since midnight l have read
600 letters in the woman's behalf.
Only one was from a resident of Yer
mont. This matter is for the people
Of Vermont, and they have decided
that she must die. Every opportunity
was given her, but every attempt to
save her from the gallows failed in all
the tribunals, both state and federal.

heard nothing to cause me to again
reprieve the woman or commute her
sentence. A governor must uphold the
laws"
Among the petitions presented to the
governor was one signed by $4,000

especially for the purpose. Governor
Bell declined again to interfere.

Had there been n mitigating circum

been justified in interfering, but before
