LAYER DEVELOPMENTS
 OF YESTERDAYS FIRE
A Resume of the Losses Taken by Firms-Fire Department Deserves Much Credit for Hard Fight.

The task of figuring up the losses in the fire. which yesterday morning de stroyed the w. H. Constable cold stor- age warehouse at the corner of Fourth avenue and Jackson streets, was begun yesterday but only approximate esti- mates could be arrived at. The eSti- mates in The Republican the morning of the fire proved not far from the correct sums in round numbers. How ever after the fire had been conquered. an invoice of the merchandise destroy ed disclosed that J. w. Doris was q very small loser. Believing that a car load of meat and lard had been stored in the warehouse, he figured his loss at about $5000. Yesterday it was learn ed that the car had not yet arrived in Phoenix His loss will therefore be a \ matter of few hundred dollars. The Doris merchandise was removed to the store yesterday afternoon. but the extent of the damage could not be told until it was all sorted over.
 MT La Chance of the Wakelin Grocer company as near as he could estimate yesterday valued the firms stock. consisting of meats. lard. etc. stored in the warehouse. at S700O. Much of it had been found to be unharmed by the fire and he thought that there would be eonsiderable salvage. By disposing of it at salvage prices prob ably as much as one half the sum would be recovered. MT Wetzler's loss was about $250 worth of cheese. The bookkeeper at McKee's stated that as far as had been determined. the firm would escape with the loss of barrel of sourkraut and one of dill pickles. Munger Bros. found their stock of olives undamaged.
 The cold storage building cost fully equipped with plant. about SS5.000. Other improvements and stock run the figures to s4O.O0O. covered by $1S.- 000 insurance divided among the com panies as follows: Royal Insurance Co, S250O: Springfield Fire Insurance Co. s5000: Hartford Fire Insurance Co. S250O: S750O distributed with the Agricultural Co. Phoenix of Brooklyn and Niagara Fire Insurance Co, and another S25O0 with a company whose name could not be learned. Mir Constable arrived in the city yesterday and most of the merchandise not dis troyed was removed to the building occupied by the Orange Packing as sociation. He could not tell what the loss would be he said until the insur ance adjusters arrived.
 The origin of the fire is still mys- tery, though various theories have been advanced. Those who first sav the fire, state that it undoubtedly started in the engine room. IL was thought in the beginning 10 be merely a light used by some one working in the building but soon the blaze was seen shooting out of the windows in 1he engine pit and the alarm was turn ed in at once. Electrical power was employed for pumping the ammonia

In a Sorry Plight.

The wise (?) man who writes
the editorials for the Headlight
must be working himself up to a
case of nervous prostration over
the nominees on the Republican
ticket. He talks Of trades and
sacrifices while knowing full well
that his cry of wolf is only to de-
tract attention from the trading
Of the entire Democratic ticket
for Carskadon, the fearless op-
ponent (?) Of Doodle, whisky and
Ochoa.
Under Editorial Notes" the
Headlight has a senseless article
in its issue of last week on whisky,
Doodle and 0choa. There must
be a sore spot somewhere, as the
Democratic eX-Precinct Chair
man of Deming Precinct stated
that after furnishing Doodle and
whisky to the Ochoas they did
not come through. This cry Of
purity on the Democratic side
makes one laugh.
N. j. Moran, who gloats over
his election to the most high and
exalted position Of Democratic
County Chairman, appeals most
pathetically Cor support in his eff
fort to be the new boss of the
Democratic party. What faction
does he wish to retain the politi-
cal cheStnuts? If he had said
party, there would have been
some sense to his appeal, but
perhaps he means the faction of
his recent opponent for County
Chairman. whom he designates
as Rule or Ruin" and whom he
states put Republican stickers
over his name, after nominating
him for the Legislature.
