KELVIN EXCURSION
 WELL PA1RONIZED
A Big Trainload of People Enjoyed a Day in the Hill Country and the Maroons Brought Home the Flor ence Scalp.

The Kelvin excursion yesterday was another of those delightful events the local railroads conduct from time to time for the pleasure of Phoenix peo- pie who like to get out of the valley for a day and meet~their neighbors in the hill country. That it was appre- ciated may be imagined when it is announced that in the neighborhood of 500 people aFailed themselves of the opportunity for a Sunday ride over the P. & E. The excursion was personally conducted by l.. H Landis. general agent of the Randolph lines. and, like all his efforts of this kind. nothing was overlooked that could possibly have been provided for the pleasure of his guests.
 At Florence the Florence baseball team and scores of Florence people joined the excursionists to root for their representatives on the Kelvin diamond. Arrived at Kelvin the ex- cursionists scattered themselves as their interests or impulses dictated. Some availed themselves of an oppor- tunity to go up the narrow gauge line from Kelvin to Ray, through a portion of the mineral country north of Kelvin, where some of tho mines are resuming activity and where the Ray company has never entirely stop ped it's exploration and development work. Others crossed the river and paid visit to the Sultana- Arizona copper mine, where preparations are being made for large operations T live in that section to renew acquaint- ance or talk business. But by far the largest number followed the horsehide and willow to the baseball ground.
 The baseball game between Flor ence and the Phoenix Maroons was a hot one up to-the sixth inning, when the Maroons secured five tallies, mak- ing the final score to l in their fa- vor. Grijalva and Congo was the battery for the MarOons, and Cuber and Morris of Mesa for the Florence team. only one hit was secured off Grijalva's offerings, while apparently Cuber had an off day. There was considerable interest in the outcome, and d bunch of money changed hands on the result. The attendance was larger than at the game played at Florence with the Woodchoppers It was only a seven round bout owing to the necessity of catching the train for home.
 Florence tallied one in the first and the Maroons one in the first and one in the second. It hung in the bal ance till Grijalva got a base on balls and two burt hits filled the sacks; a single to center started the run get ting and two errors completed the work of disorganizing the Florence hines defense, and the remaining three were easy. Gormley was taken along to umpire the game.
 'The train returned to Phoenix about 1880 last evening, and. though most of the excursionists were tired. they were good natured and happy. for there was no accident or untoward in- cident to mar the days pleasure

Boston. April 12.-A fire destroyed on square mile of manufacturing and tenement districts 0f Chelsea today, entailing loss estimated at fully SS. O00. 900. The fire started at 10: 40 this morning near the Boston Backing company's works. on West Third street near the Everett city line. and crossed the city distance of one mile and a quarter to Marginal street The fire is still burning fiercely this evening. and the firemen hoped to control 1t before the night advanced.
 So far as learned there has been but one fatality. Half hundred persons were injured.
 Among the buildings burned were thirteen churches: Frost hospital; Childrens hospital. the city hall. the Fit public library, five school houses, d dozen or more, factories, and about 300 tenement houses and dwellings.
 The residential section of the city where the wealthier classes reside es- capped the flames. In the retail section through which the fire passed twenty business blocks were destroyed The United States marine buildings were not damaged.
 A militia call by Mayor Beck of Chelsa brought out the first company of coast artillery. Captain Renfrew commanding in order to guard proper ty moved into the streets from build ings in the path of the flames. Col. Wood commanding the marines of the Charlestown navy yards, volunteered the services of the 10J, the company stationed at the yards. and at the re- quest of Major Beck the company was sent to the fire under the command of Captain Hill. Rear Admiral Swift of the navy ward. also sent out all the men from the receiving ship Wabash. who were not already off on leave. The marines with fixed bayonets held back tie crowds while the militia and sailors helped the families to re- move their goods. Crowds were gen erally easily handled. The exact cause of the fire is not known but it IS sup posed that spontaneous combustion was responsible.
 Realizing that the city was appar- ently doomed if the flames were not stopped a; Everett avenue, Fire Chief H. A. Spencer summoned help from Boston and all the surrounding cities
  ming in the Boston circuit and all vail able apparatus was sent across the harbor Early this afternoon aid ar rived from Linn. Haverhill. Wakefield, Salem. Maiden. Cambridge. Winthrop and Revere
 The first evidence of the fire on the east siGe of Everett avenue was when the roof of the Peoples Methodist Epis- cOpal church on Fourth street was seen to be in flames. Services were in progress at the time, and the con gregation was unaware that the fire was ranging. Someone notified the pastor and heimmediately told the peo pie of their danger and advised them to file slowly from the building. Twenty minutes later not vestige of the edifice was left.

RAVAGES OF FLAMES
 OVER A MILE SQUARE
The Town of Chelsea, Mass. All But Licked
 Up by Fire
A Heavy Wind Spurred the Flames On to the De- structiOn of Property Finally Estimated at Ten Million Dollars.

[ Belf of the Boston fire department strength and steamers from d dozen other cities went to the aid of the Chelsea brigade About 1.5O0 families are homeless The fire originated in the rear of the Boston Backing com pany's works on West Third street near the eastern division of the Bos- ton and Maine railroad in close proX- imity to the Everett city line. A ter rife gale from the northwest which at times had a velocity of sixty miles an hour carried burning shingles. em- bers and myriads of sparks from score of wooden buildings, most of them of cheap construction. The fire started in almost the extreme south west section of the city and cut path to the end of Maverick street in the extreme souheastrn end of tn city which borders on Chelsea creek.
 Two lives are known to have been lost at late hour tonight It is re- ported that two other persons perished --one woman having shot herself in frenzy over inability to save her pro- perty.
 An accurate estimate of the loss Is
 impossible. One estimate gives it at SI0. .000. 900. At 10: 90 o'clock tonight announcement was made that the fire was under control over Chelsea bridge into East Boston streamed a long line of fire refugees. Juggling what few household effects that they were able to save Among the poor people there did not seem to be any panic All seemed stunned by the disaster Sev- eral of the large type of cars used by the Boston Elevated Railway in the East Boston Tunnel were abandoned.
 The greatest damage was done when the fire reached the City hall square, at the junction of Park and Washing ton streets. In the space of a few moments every building on the square with the exception of the city hall building was in flames. For a time it looked as if the magnificent city hall. built of brick and separated from all other buildings by a wide ;s'ea might be saved. The hope was mo- mentaTy for about o'clock d tiny flickerirg flame was seen gaining headway under the coping of the cup ola Gathering force from the mighty wind the flames licked the cupola and crept down into the main structure. Within half an hour in this square four churches and the city hall were leveled to the ground.
 East of Shawmut avenue and May erick and Congress streets scores of families burned out homeless and helpless conveyed their possessions to places of safety. Steadily they were forced back by flames which were be- ing hurled down upon them by the gale until it became necessary in or der to save their lives to retreat around the wharf frontage toward the river. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion and one of the oil tanks of the Tidewater Oil company on the water front burst into flames Thou sands of gallons of oil were soon burn ing and gigantic clouds of black smoke rose into the sky, making it dark as

Official AdVices of the Caracas Affair
 Have Been Received at Washington.

Washington. April 12.-President Castro's caustic reply to the com plaint filed at Caracas regarding the opening of mail sacks containing the mail sunboat Tacoma at La Guira postoffice. has reached the state de- partment. A report of the incident has also been received at the navy department.
 It appears that the La Guira post office received eighty-three sacks of Tacoma and the sacks all opened, as is the custom of the office.
 It was not until this had been done that the mistake was noticed. No mail was lost, and il is believed not to have been disturbed in any way. No indication was given by the state department as to what will be the next step in the matter.

THE MORNING ESTIMATE.

Boston, (Monday) April 13.-At an carly hour this morning the ruins are under the guard of fourteen companies of state militia and marines from the Charlestown navy yard. The city was put under martial law to prevent loot ing and the soldiers were supplied with bah cartridges. The bodies of three persons so badly burned as to be unrecognizable are in the North Grove street morgue. No other deaths have thus far been officially reported.
 It is estimated that about 500 houses were burned and about 10000 people are rendered homeless. An early morn ing estimato of the loss by an official of d prominent insurance firm placed the total at between seven and ten mill lions dollars. The total insurance figured about five millions.
 As the fire made its way rapidly to- wards the water front where consider able shipping was tied up there was much excitement among the captains and crews. Several tugs were dis patched to the scene and all vessels in the portion of the threatened water front were pulled out to safety.
 Fire brands swept across Chelsea Creek to East Boston and five dwell ings in Wadsworth street and vicinity were consumed. The rast Boston works of the Standard Oil company at one time in danger and the work of the firemen was directed especially to- ward preventing an explosion of the oil tanks. This work was difficult and T long time success was doubtful The burned area is of the nature of an ellipse about one and one-half miles on it's long axis and from one-third to three quarters of a mile on the short axis. The Westerly end of the ellipse where the fire started was the most densely populated section of the city
