MUCH
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
A California Town in the Sacramento
Valley Badly Burned.
Willows, Cal., Sept. 2. A fire broke
out, last evening about 8 :30 o'clock, and
although the fire department responded
quickly, before they reached the fire the
Willows hotel was in flames. The wind
being from the south, it communicated
to a frame on the north, and in spite of
the fact that the firemen fought it hero
ically, the entire blork was doomed, and
the Uuion hotel and the Crawford house
were soon in flames. A determined
fight was made to save Hochhe'tmer's
store, but the heat from the Crawford
house was so intense that the flames
soon enveloped it, and one of the finest
business-houses in northern California
was doomed. The fire was finally got
under control alter it reached to the
Chapman bnilding, adjoining Hoch
heimer's on the north. It looked at one
time as if the entire block 'from Svca
more to Walnut street would go. It is
impossible to get the amount of loss at
present, but it is estimated at $150,000,
partly covered by insurance.

MINISTER EAGAN HEARD FBOM.
Rumor Has It That the New Govern
ment Don't Like Him.
Washington, Sept. 3. It is reported
that minister Eagan has been ordered
home. Two reasons are assigned for
the action, are that the administration
is dissatisfied with his silence regarding
the Chilian affairs, the other that he is
to De given a leave of absence, antici
patory of arbitrating the action on the
part of the new administration in Chili,
which threatens to give him a DasBnort
on aofount of his sympathy for the Bal
maceda prrty.

mittee arrived here from lauioue yester

The Rumor Promptly Denied.
New York, Sept. 3. The rumor that

in it. .

TERRIBLE HOLOCAUST
One Million Dollars Damage is the
Estimate of Some of our Lead
ing Business Men.
Seventeen , Blocks of Residences Laid
in Ashes by tha Fire Fiend
. Nothing Saved.
Unfortunate Joe Fitzgerald Seriously
Burned About the Facs
and Hands.
Hundreds of Citizens are Homeless to
- dayr-A Relief Committee Ap-
pointed by Mayor Mays.
About dne-third of the residence and
business "part of The Dalles is in ashes
and perhaps not less than a thousand
people, at his writing are left homeless.
The fire started about 1 o'clock in a one
story dwelling on the south side of Sec
ond street between Madison and Jeffer
hoii. The house was occupied by J. H.
Larsen and at the time of the fire no one
w: 8 in it. Before the engine had got to
work the fire had spread to the houses
on each side. In less than half an hour
it had started in the old Grimes feed
stable which was nothing but a huge
two story fire trap and from that
moment till seven or eight o'clock
in the evening ' it carried everything
before it. For -hours after the " fire
started the wind blew a stiff gale from
the northeast and the town was com
pletely at its mercy, till it calmed down
about 4 o'clock and gave a fighting
chance to the citizens to save the entire
city from ruin. As many as seventeen
or eighteen blocks are in ashes. The
Vogt block, the pride and Ijeauty of the
city, the opera bouse, the Methodist,
Baptist and Congregational churches,'
the large implement warehouses and
stores of Gibons, Macallister & Co., Fil-
loon Brothers and E. P. FitzGerald, and
the handsome brick block of I. C. Nickel
sen besides five or six hundred resi
dences, all succumbed to the devouring
flames. Every ' building between
the railroad track on the
north, the bluff on the south, Madi
son street on the east and Langhlin
street on the west save the depot build
ing and two residences are gone and
nothing is left but a dreary waste of
afhes and the chared trunks of the
handsome shade trees. The region too,
bounded bv Third street, Washington,
the bluff and Union street is cleared out,
save only the brick school house and the
residence of George Kuch and these
were only saved by almost super
human efforts. Not much less, if
any, than a million dollars worth
of property has gone up in the flames.
Fortunately the Cosmopolitan and
Umatilla houses were saved and these
two caravansaries furnished shelter last
night, for hundreds whom the fire had
rendered homeless. Others found lodg
ing in the homes of the more fortunate
neighbors, and 6till others spent the
night on the beach keeping watch over
what little they had rescued from the
flames. It is impossible, at this writing,
to make any approximate estimate of
the amount of insurance covering the
property destroyed. It is safe to say
that many who - were well off yes
terday morning are today ruined or badly
crippled, while many poor people
who had no insurance lost their little all.
The only, serious accident so far as we
have been able to learn happened to Jo
seph P. FitzGerald, son of Mr. E. P.
FitzGerald, who got seriously burned
about the arms, hands, breast and face
while making his escape through the
flames in his father's residence. As he
did not inhale any of the flames and is
possessed of a good constitution, it is
hoped he may recover. Early yesterday
evening the mayor placed the city under
martial law in charge of the sheriff and
city marshal. About thirty citizens and
members of the 6. N. G., under arms
paraded the town all night for the pur
pose of protecting property saved from
the flames and scattered almost - every
where, but which it was found impos
sible to transfer to a place of safety. A
number of suspicious characters were
thrown into jail for the niglit and were
released this morning and ordered to
move off. This morning the Mayor re
voked his order placing the city under
martial law, and appointed the fol
lowing persons as a relief committee
to receive contributions for those need
ing help and to "whom all applica
tions for aid are requested to be made :

Fire Motes.
The residence of Ad Keller was saved,
though how it escaped while everything
near it was destroyed is a miracle.
Hundreds of victims of the fire are on
the streets this morning visiting the
ruins of their homes or endeavoring to
gather together what they have left after
the fire.
Had the wind continued to rage as it
did during the first two or three hours
of the fire, it is beyond a doubt that all
that is left of the city below the bluff
would have been destroyed. .
During 'the progress of the fire the
usual rumors' were afloat about persons
having been blown up, burned up, etc.
All proved false except that regarding
Joe FitzGerald, referred to elsewhere.
The credit of saving the brick school-
house is largely due to the lady teachers '
who ably assisted the principal and
stood at the open windows and kept
them from catching fire by a copious
use of water applied from dippers.
The passenger depot was saved by the
efforts of two or three officials and seven
or eight section hands. It caught on fire
two or three times but everything, of
value, even the safe, was moved out of
the building. .
A special train by order of General
Manager McNeil, arrived from Portland
last night about 8 o'clock, bringing a fire
engine to help subdue the fames. By
that time, however, the wind had cal med
down and the fire was under control.
Numbers of men and women during
the day fell to the ground from the ex
citement, heat and exhaustion and had
to be . borne off and taken care of by;
friends. Half an hour after the com
mencement of the fire the reporter saw
as many as three at one time faint from
exhaustion in the East End two women
and a man. . r .
One of the attendant physicians in
forms us, just before going to press,
that Joe FitzGerald passed a very rest
less night and that he may have a hard
time to pull through. The flep h on his
hands and arms from the finger tips to
the - shoulders is burned to a crisp and
almost to the bone, so that if he should
recover his arms and hands will.be
crippled for life. He is. extensively
bnrned about the face, head, back and
chestrand will have a hard time to pull
through.
- Valuable Horses' Parish in a Fire.
Glasgow, Sept. 2. The well known
Streele stables at Ayr was destroyed by
h re last night night and nine valuable
race horses perished.
