I BIGCONFLAGRATIONS Loss in Patterson, N. J. $I9,0C0.CC9 ' Fire in St Louis Kills II People. EIGHT PUBLIC BUILDINGS, FIVE Churches, Four Banks, Fine Club Houses, Seven, Office Buildings, Two Telegraph Offices, 26 Stores end Two Newspapers. Patcrson, N. J., Special.?A great Hr? swept through Patersou on Sundry and in its desolate wake are the embers and ashes of property valued in preliminary estimate at $10,000,009. It burned its way through the business section of the city and claimed as its own a majority of tbe finer structures devoted to commercial, civic, educational ar.d religious use, as well as scores of houses. There was small tribute of life and injury to the conflagration but hundreds were left homeless and thousands without employment. A relief movement for the care of those unsheltered and unprovided for has been organized and John HeachcliS'e said touight thai Pa:erscn i would be able to care for her own without appealing to the charity of other communities and State:. The great manufacturing plants of the plaro are safe and the community, tcmpororily dazed by the calamity, already commenced the work of re-organization and restoration. The fire came at midnight and was checked only after a desperate fight. Every city and ?wn within reach of Paterson sent firemen and apparatus to the relief of the Jhxsatcned city, and it took the united 4jfforts or them all to win the battle.

CHARLESTON Cordially We!cumed-?Scope nad Magnitude bf Exhibits a Revelation. Columbia, Special.?There waa no meeting cf the Legislature on i'riday, as the whole Assembly tn.ik a holiday, and visited the Charles 0:1 Exposil oa in a body, by spe-ial invitation. It was a happy thought e:i the part ot the Exposition company and the people of Charleston to invite the I tV,n. r,vrw->?'tinn in K'giaiiiiuie hj \ii>n iut >..?? ? . a body, and an equally happy inspiration on the part of the legislature to accept the invitation. For the people, on their representatives at least, have sc-cn the splendid exposition hers open to the public; have seen how wisely expended was the appropriation of $50,000 to aid the exposition, and having seen this the greatest good to all the State will follow. Practically all the members of the legislature came to Charleston today. Thcce were 27 cut of the 40 senators pad 97 out of the 120 representatives. Besides there was the governor^most of the State officers, practically of the the employes and attaches oi the genfcToJ assembly, and a number of distinguished citizens of the S ate. There were a number of ladies in the party, and in all there were between 309 and* GOO persons on t ie legislative special. The train was carried direct to the ' ^position grounds, where the welcoming exercises were held. President Geo. A. Wagner cf the exposition company railed the assemblage to order and introduced the speakers. The first speaker Introduced was State Senator Jos. W. Bur.we 1. who welcomed the v'sitors to the city an:l to the exp siticn in a part'cularly earnest manner. He said h> fe t that the people of the Sta e would feel more pride and sympathy in Charles.on and the exposition after they had seen the exposition, and that he felt that their coming marked a new e*a in affairs in the State; that there would to no mo;c ostrangomonts between iha people of the people of the sections of the State. Lt. Gov. Tillman wa3 introduced and ' K?i* irrnnA^ul rocnr.ncp t<> u:uuc n uuci uui voKv.u^v the address of welcome. Speaker W. F. Stevenson was then introduced and responded on behalf of the members of the house of representatives. Gov. McSwecney was then Introduced and responded In a feeling manner. In the course of h's a Idr-rss he said: "It Ls right, it Is proper, that the representatives of the people of the great State of South Carolina should take a lay off and come and see for themselves what you fcava and what you have done. "The people of South Carolina look upon this as their exposition, and reel x personal Inter- st in it. Earthquakes xnd cyclones and high water and fire have never daunted (he ncrgy and indomitable courage -' lieu have always characterized the p*. >ple of this city. The first building mpleted was tho , Woman's building. . d yet when you eflect for a moment on the sacrifices made and energy always displayed by aur noble women that should no; have been a matter of great surprise. They are always fo.emost in all good works." He concluded bis remarks with a touching allusion to the memory of the late Capt. F. W. Diwson, saying: "I hav? often thought how the heart i v<* F. W. Dawson would have rejoiced < f he could have livo3 to take r*rt in contributing of his great powers'*, the success of this enterprise." At the conclusion of Gov, McBweeicy's address the logislators and thoir trlends were invited to the Crescent Inn. where an elegant luncheon was served to the entire party. il.'ter this the members scattered hrough the grounds and spent the re nairnler or the atterroon ana eve 111115 visiting the different buildings and adniring the different features of the exposition. On ieach!ng the train. Saturday morning, the announcement was made hat all who washed to remain in Chareston until Sunday night or Monday morning could do so: that their tickets would be good on anv train up to 7 -.'clock .Monday mccning. In responseto this generous offer many will remain over, but mrst of the l>g!s*a ors will return to Columbia tomor:o v afternoon, and as thev go back they will go singing the pras s of .he exposition and of Charleston s hospitality. Charleston's Distintru.shed Vis'tors. Chncleitoa, Special.?Many distinguished panics are new coming in ibis direction or will shortly start for :h<> Charleston Exposition.

Seventeenth Day?The House held wo sessions, ono beginning at noon and the other a: S in the evening. At .och session a great tieil of routine work wa3 accomplished!, and there was a good atteudar.ee. At the mcrning session the House received memorials from the freight bureau of Charleston and also from th? city council, and the Merchants' cxrhange of Charleston, praying for the central assembly to grant a charter to the Charleston Union Station company. The petitions stated that there are obstacles which prevented tho charter from being obtained from the s-evctary of State.

The memorials declared further that there is great need of a un.on pas. eager station in Charleston. eighteenth Day?By a vote of 57 to 55 the house refused to strike out the enacting words c.f the child labor bill. This does not necessarily mean the success of the measure but it was a very great victory for the advocates of the bill. The house adjourned without tnkins further at ticn on it. The discussion was varied and warm and was indulged in by a number of members. Several new bills were introduced during the morning hour end referred to appropriate committees. Nineteenth Day: There was a skirmish when the senate amendments to the domestic fowls bill came over just after the house convened for business. Dr. Kibler wanted the senate amendments agreed to. Dr. Woods wanted to lay tne whole bill on the block and chop its head off. Mr. Weston said chickens do annoy neighbors sometimes but this Is an iniquitious bill. It will drive people to plant more cotton and will stir up strife between neighbors.Mr. McLeod didn't know that it would raise more cotton but would raise more "cain." The hcuso refused to agree to the senate's amendments to the chicken bill, and the differences will gc to a reference committee, and the bill's neck may yet be wrung. The senates amendment to Mr. Loniax's bill to provide a limited number of school books for poor children was agreed to. Twentieth Day: When the house met there were a number of vacant seats. A great many new bills were presented. The senate sent over word that it Insisted on its amendment to the chicken bill. The house appointe to the committee on conference as follows: Capt Dean.

The Senate also passed the bill to require vestibules to be used on street cars. The House sent back to t're Senate the jury bill with numerous amendments.
