CAUSED BY A MERE SPARK.
NORFOLK HAS MOST SPECTAoU-
 LAR FIRE IN ITS HISTORY.

ned by FOrty-NTiIe Wind the Flames
 Quickly Spread to the Great Lumber
 Piles and Oil Tanks of the Concern.
 Norfolk, Jan. 2O-The most spectac- ular fire in the history of the city oc- cured to-day, when spark from a locomotive from the Norfolk and West ern railroad set fire to the grass near the plant of the Atlantic Creosotlng company, and, famed by forty-mile wind, the flames extended to the great lumber piles and oil tanks of the com pany, causing 8 loss of s6O,OOO and the probably fatal injury of one man. Sew enty-five good gallons of creosoting fuind in the tanks exploded and 2,500 barrels of oil were consuiped, with sew eral hundred thousand feet of creosoted timber, valued at about $25,000.
 The pier of the company, extending about six hundred feet into the Eliza beth river, on which were several hun dred barrels of oil, was destroyed, and only the most heroic efforts saved the immense factory of the Cotton oil and Fibre company, which adtoins the burned plant.
 One hundred sailors from the St. Helena training station aided the fire fighting force of the creosoting compa- ny in combating the fire, and one of them, H. A. Matt, coal passer on the training ship Richmond, was overcome by heat and smoke. He was removed to hospital, where he is expected to die.
 A terrific explosion hurled the con tents of the Hanks all over the adjoin- ing ground and three acres of property were covered in blazing oil,
 The company is said to do the sec ond largest business of its line in the world.

 Cincinnati, Jan. 20.-Cold weather and gale of wind increased the suffering of the thousands who had been made homeless by the flood in Ohio. A num- Der of buildings that had been weaken ed by the water went down before the wind last night and to-day, Many towns are party under water.
 Louisville, Jan, 20.- With the Ohio pouring it's flood southward and main taining a steady rise of an inch an hour, Kentucky streams contributing their volumes from the mountain re- gions, high wind blowing upstream all day, damaging shipping and pre- venting the rapid passing of the cur rent, Louisville tonight faced flood situation which promised to equal, be- fore the crest is passed, the stage of 1884, the greatest flood ever known to the city. Thousands of people are homeless and are housed in school buildings, warehouses and other struc- lures.
 Ilawrenceburg, Ind, Jan. 20.-The sit uation here to-day was most alarming, the conditions almost approximating those of the flood of 1884 The town is ten feet below the top of the levee. Should the flood enter the city the money loss will be close to $1,00O,00O. One hundred and fifty picked men patrolled the levee all night, while gangs of men with thousands of bags of sand and many carloads of stone and other ballast were ready to stop and crevaces. Business is at a stand still Last night rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a gale. The place is practically under martial law. The manufacturing plants back of the town are shut down.
 Aurora, Ind, Jan. 20.-This city was last night entirely cut off from railroad or traction connection with the outside world. The people can only get in or out of the city by boat. The telegraph office is surrounded by water and is reached by boat,
 About 1900 in all were rendered homeless by the flood. Great suffer ing is threatened in the case of a sud den cold snap.
 Portsmouth. O., Jan. 2O.-A terrific storm and the sudden breaking of the levees gave Portsmouth a night of ter. TOT and daylight showed that only 2 | few scattered portions of the city hat escaped the flood. Hundreds of people were asleep in their homes when tht rush of the waters from the SciotC river came, and scores had remarkable escapes from drowning, Many fec from sick beds, dozens of shrielzing women and children staggered a!nnless ly through the treets, clad only il | night dresses.
