100000 Worth of Supplies,
Threatened for Hours.

NEW ORLEANS. July 31.-Nearly
one million and a half dollars is esti-
mated as the loss occasioned by the
fire which destroyed one section of the
mammoth warehouse of the Appa-
lachian Corporation of Louisiana,
which was brought under control at 1

burned from shortly after o'clock
the evening before.

ond floor of section No. 2 of the great
three-story structure. which covers the
entire block. bounded by South Peters,

the entire fire department. The burned
section was largely filled with sisal,
10000 bales of which, valued at $780,
600, were destroyed. The front wall
of section No. collapsed at 10 o'clock.
and from then till shortly after mid
night it looked as though the flames
would get beyond control The entire
building was valued at $1,000, 900. and
the section destroyed was valued at
$400, 900
About 100000 in other merchandise
was destroyed. and it is estimated that

smoke and water in other parts of the
building.

Appalachian Corporation of Louisiana
Incorporated, and the warehouse was
known as the largest bonded public
and government warehouse in the
south.
Charles H. GrosZ, secretary and
