RjfUXSON, Pulaski, Twnn. H. E. WILLIAMS, SprlngfVjld, Mass. Knoxville. Tenn., April 8. Never in the hlMtory of Knoxvllle has the city sufTured such a lom by fire as tt did today, following the bnwlckiff out of flames at an early hour tints m'cnlng in a gronery store adjoinlneT the bis; Knox hote4. The Ivitel and adjoining buildings wore n m names and tiie very hert of the city, Indudina; some of the largest 'wholesale and retail houses In the ctty wmth, iwere dentroyed. The Kais fa estimated at from one to one and a half million dollars, with about sixty per cent of insurance. The lm of life Is uncertain, as the register of the hotoi, in which fifty-six people wwre sliwping, was burned. The prop rietor of the hotel aaye he had fire or six gueifts who have not put tn an aiiea.rance. A. E. Weeks, of Locke, N. Y., a drummer for a Rocheafr atamplng company, is known to have perkihed In the flames. R. W. Hop- kSrm, a St. Lout drummer, n-as latt soon in tlv burning building In a sufTocatlng condition. W. H. Kepport ex-eeoretary of the chamber of com mune, saved the life of John Bogle, an old farmer, by dragging htm to a window ano letting him out on the roof of another bullring. Keppart jumped one story and was uninjured. Wh,n the firemen thought the inmates of the bote had ewsaped a woman with an infatmt 4n her arms rurhed to the rear windows and screamed for help. A net was stretched and the woman was aaked to drop the child out, but as the smoke alnvw choked hT, she told them that If some one had to die, both would die. The wo man was finally rescued by the flre- rmm. From the hotel building, which Is five stories hlrh. the Are spread rap idly. A stiff wind made the flames very ugly land th? flre department was inadequate, in xne wnoiwme hanlware hiuse of W. W. Woodruff & Co. a large dynamite expliUi.m oc currod and ex-ores of people were hurt by flying glass and brick. It became neocHsary at last to nave the walls of one building blown down by cannon to stop the mad career of the fire. The city authorities, rvalixlng that tha fire deDartment was unawa to conquer the names, usegrapnea w Chattanooga for assSstanoe. An en gine was placed aboard a flat car and started on a run of 111 miles, which was made by Engineer Robblns in 109 minutes, bnukng the record. A cabinet maker named P. G. Dyer foil dead on the streat from fright. A man named Robinson, from Pulas ki, Tenn.. Is supposed to be another victim. He -was registere.i In the ho tel and has not been seen since. A large force of men Is at work clearing the debrte tomight and urchins the rulras. Street t raffle is enthvly aus- iKinded. Knoxvllle architects received orders todan- r plans for eleven buildings to take the place of the ones burned. All the buildings are b be replaced at once. The loss. as given comgTU amount 'to one million one hundred thousand dollars. In addition to the destruction of several snvollor buildings and losses to email dealers, heavy losses to plate gass were caused by the intense heat oivd water. It la more than probable tha,: John C. Nogle. the old gentleman nun in the hotel, will die. He inhaled the flames and cannot speak nor B-wallow. The lait man to leave the burning building says he has positive proof that five or six persons were burned. He ran owr three or four men In the hallways who were suffocated. John son. a railroad baggage agent, came down from the fifth st ry of the hotel hand over hand on the water pipes before the fire dvpartmcrtt arrived. Only one of the gucuts saved any of his efft'cts. The list of dead so far reported, to . A,n.,ivx- A E. Week. Locke. N. Y.; W. R. Hopkins, St. Louis; Robin son. Pulaski, Tenn.,; S. E.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC IS jN ASTORIA Opens Aa Office for the Handling of Passenger Business to the Sea. STRAWS POINT TO THE WIND Ts Cre.t Corporation, the Barliigtoi aa Others ttldeatlr .lack Interested ia the Astoria Railroad. The Southern Pacific Railway Com pany has entered Astoria formally tat business. This tnovernant was antlci pated about a year ago by the As totion, when U predicted that the Southern was the prime mover behind Mr. Hammond In the building of the) Astoria & Columbia River Railroad. Mr. J, P. Jones, nassengt-r agent of the Soutbeati, to company with Mr. C. O. Terry, passenger agent of the llur- Ungton, arrived in the city yesterday and appointed Sir. Curtis Tren:hard the wil-known express and shlppanf agent, local pajasenger agent of the Southern Pacific in this ctty. Un doubtedly the Southern is ratline ready for the handUns; of business) when the new line shall be completed. The Burlington to wt asleep to the matter, and the well-known fact that it as rapidly budding through tin Blade Hi Da an Independent; line to the coast lends coinr to the report that she is also interested in the As toria road. Nothing oould be more pnbable, aa the Burlington, has al ways been a progressive, and enter pr&lng railway. She as always at the from, alw-ays in the lead, the first t adopt modem methods; and never take a step backwarls. The South ern Pacific, as is we 1 known, is the largest and richest corporation on the Pacific ooast. It has been a factor hi tha development of this country, and is rapidly gaining ground In Oregon, It is beyond a question of doubt aa assured fad that other trane-MVsMsrt . lines and Eastern trunk lines are tn tynested to an extent in the Astoria road, which will open up the best harbor on the Pai;ic coa.it. With these railroad connections -will come manufacf Hies to develop Oregon's nav turol resources. Pay rolls are what Oregon njeds, and they cannot cm too, soon.
