GREAT FIRE. The City of Jacksonville. Fla.. In Ruins?Thousands Homele?s-Llm Loil. Jacksonville, Fla., May 4,1 a. m.?The most disastrous fire Id the history of mis city began yesterday shortly alternoon In a small factory, from a defective wire, according to the best belief, and burned for nearly ten hours. In that time a property damage estimated from 10,000,000 to 815,000,000 was effected. ACCUrUlU)^ IUC citj vuv uuumi vw and thirty blocks were burned, many of them 1q the heart of tbe business and residence section. Tbe estimate of bouses to tbe block is 10, hence 1,800 of tbena went up In smoke. Many of tbe finest public and private buildings were destroyed, Including hotels, theatre, churches and residences. The casualties cannot be accurately estimated tonight. That there were several seems to be well authenticated. Among them was that of the Are chief, who sustained a bad fall. The mayor ordered all of tbe saloons olosed, and has Impressed help to clear the wreckage. The mayor at a late hour stated that he estimated the loss at $15,000,000, and that 10,000 to 15,000 people were homeless. Jacksonville, Fla, May 4.?At 1 a. m., the situation Is one approaching desolation in a large section of the city. The burned district reaches from Burbridge street on the north to the St. John's river on the south, a dls tanoe of quite two miles. The width or ine desolated area Is thirteen blocks. Within this space practically everything Is blackened ruins. On Bay street, tbe Drlnclpal mart of trade, the Western Union Telegraph company's building Is the first going west. Everything east of Laurel on Bay Is gone. At 10.15 o'clock last night the fire was under control, having practioally burned Itself out. j The suburban settlements, with the exception of La Villa, are Intact. La Villa was badly hurt. The extent or the damage cannot be told until tomorrow. Thousands of y persons are on the streets tonight homeless, with practically all of their worldly possessions upon their backs. Meetings of the city oouncll, tbe commercial bodies and tbe charitable Institutions will be called Saturday morning to devise ways and means for meeting tbe situation. It Is not known yet if an appeal for help will be Issued though It Is thought likely that the exigencies, of the occasion will demand such action. It is hoped that an appeal can be fi?\. avoided. ;> Jacksonville, Fla., May 3.?At 12.45 today Jacksonville experienced the most disastrous fire of her existence, tbe entire length ol Beaver street from Davis street to th6 creek on Liberty street have been totally destroyed. This Is 14 solid blocks of resldenoes. For the same distance Ashley and Church streets have been completely blotted out. When tbe fire reached Bridge street In Its eastward course It enveloped In flames three blocks, Duval, Monroe and tbe north Bide of Adams, burning up that entire section of the city and running fourteen blocks to the Duval street bridge. The conflagration has caused as far as Is definitely known a distance of two and half miles by a half mile wide. The local military companies were called out to keep back the crowds and tbe fire department began to use dynamite to blow up tbe houses a block away from the fire and thus prevent tbe fire from spreading. So fierce was tbe blaze, however, aod so strong had become tbe wind tbat millions of sparks and fiylog burning shingles spread over five or six blockB, setting tbe roofs of tbe houses on fire In advance of the department. Leaping madly across tbe street from tbe Windsor, tbe Selll's House caught fire, and then the MetbodlBt parsonage, and In a few minutes the Trinity M. E. Church was a mass of flames. Tbe opera house block Followed, and tbe Richards and Livingstone boarding houses. A. desperate effort was made to save tbe Baldwin, mansion, whim was recently purchase 1 by tbe Elks for 818,000. No earthly power ooald save tbIs building, and that entire block and tbe one weBt was quickly a] mass of llames. Once tbe Ore got started ou Main street, tbe closely adjoining buildings went one alter tbe other. Paint shops wlib barrels of oil were plentiful In that district, and as they caught fire one after the other tbe blazes arose hundreds of feet high, and quickly set the other building across tbe Btreet on tt're. Tben tbe Hubbard hardware store caught, and the people scattered when they saw what had happened. Hundreds ol pounds of powder and a great deal of dynamite was stored in tbe bnlldlng. Ten minutes passed, when suddenly there was a roar, and the building collapsed like an eggshell. Tbe dynamite and tbe powder bad exploded. Here again there was much danger for tbe fireman. Cartridges began to fly around, and tbe eflort to fight tbe fire at this point bad for a time to be nbandoned. Tbe city building went, tbe fire department building, tbe armory, tbe county court bouse, the cIhi-k'r offloe. with the oounty records. the criminal conrt bouse, tbe oily Jail and tbe graded schools and tbe Catbollc Cburch and orphanage, St John's Episcopal Cburoh and tbe convent. The entire city of magnificent buildings all burned up In less than lour hours. Tbe scene was one that beggars r"' V description. Among tbe prominent hotels burned were the St. James, tbe United States, the Piaclde and tbe Windsor. It Is Impossible at this hour to ascertain tbe losses, but It Ib said by Insurance agents that it will b? between eight and nine millions. Six lives are reported lost In the conflagration. Tbe mayor has called a meeting of the olty council for torn morrow to consider ways and means of tbe sufferers. Snob Is the sad story of destruction caused by tbe displacement of a bit of innocent looking wire whloh accidentally got into the shredding machine of the American Fiber company. MANY LIVES LOST. Jacksonville, Fla., May 6? From tbe ruins and wreck of tbe devastating flre-fiend comes tbe appalling discovery today that many MB human lives were claimed by tbe Insatiable hHNBK thirst of the monster conflagration. BRA, Meagre details as yet are at band?tbe flrRt gn^B details since tbe wild cry for help was sounded by tbe city Friday at noon. Tbe partlcu|U|^K lars will not be learned nntll tbe city and tbe jBrnHB river give up tbelr dead. Because of Jtfd beat It has been Impossible ^HHM^Hfeefore to enter tbe ruins.

The negroes were 3 woman and ber five children. They were discovered in a TQ burning block alter all escape h2Kl, been^t" w oft. The flre was eating Its way totfWKi the center of tbe block from all sides. Tbe fireman saw the woman and heard ber crleB. No human band could save them. As tbe fire progressed and flanked tbe negro cottage tbe cries became Bubdued?tben ceased altogether. Two bodies bave been recovered trom the river. Both were negroes; one a woman, the other a man. Tbe woman, Insane from ex cltement, was seen to leap Into tbe water, - shouting that all was lost. The other other body was recovered with the face so badly charred tbat indentlflcatlon was impossible. At the foot of Market street It Is estimated tbat at least ten persons were burned to death. The river is being watched to day, believing that tbe water will give up its dead on tbe third day?a common belief among river men. A STORY OF HORKOK. OrO Tbe story tbat is told hear today of tbe last chapter of tbe conflagration of Friday is horrlble in Its details. otvAAt A*wlo of (ha Hnnr frnnt nna block after crossing Bay street. Between Market and Bay streets and the river was located Gardner's ship yards, occupied a space of about one acre. Many boats were moored at the water's edge. The flames were being swept down| Bay street east, and those who had congregated in the ship yard felt they were safe. Many were advised to hurry there for deliverance from the Are. About 5 o'clock the wind that bad been blowing from the west suddenly turned and came swiftly from the north. In a moment tbe flames righted themselves and made a farlous leap over tbe ship yard, carrying a volume of smoke so dense as to defy tbe gloom of midnight. The refugees, horror stricken, wild with panic, fled to tbe pier at the end of Market street, and scrambled for tbe boats that were tied. Men and women were trampled In their flight. \Some attempted to escape by following tbe river pier towards \be west. nii-AAtlv In thalr nath hAlrhfld crpflt flames A/Iivvm/ ?" r ? '? ? O and smoke, cutting off retreat and escape, S*V- save by the river. Tbe steamer Edith which had been lying farther up tbe river In port, was steaming rapidly towards mldchannel to esoape destruction. Bbe saw tbe peril of tbe people on tbe docks. The fire was raging w 1th volcanic Intensity. Tbe smoke was stifling. The cries for help were fearful. NO HAND TO SAVE. The steamer stopped ber engines and attempted to reach tbe distressed people. Tbe dames drove ber away. It meant selfdestruction. She put her engines at lull speed and passed out to a point of safety. 0THE FOLEY OF FRENZY. -* A mnrin snms of the most nltiful incidents > of the fire were those crews of schooners lying at the docks. As tne Are came nearer and it was ;r known the docks were burning, the sailors, headed by tbeir captains, signalled lor S; help. The tugs were all busy rescuing human lives, and beeded not the appeal to save physical property. The crews, terrified because of their helplessness and tbe destructruction tbat was rushing upon them, caught ? hold of the bows of the vessels, weighing many vast tons and tugged and pushed in their frenzy to move them. They were ? stopped In their folly from mere physical exhaustion, many falling overboard to be rescued after desperate efforts from the small Jfo fcoats. ^ . . - * . ^ . < >' 1 t , . v i CITY WILL BE REBUILT. Jacksonville, Fla., May 6.?Into the city of monumental chimneys and ghastly rains new life is being breathed today.

Early yesterday an order was promulgated under martial law requiring all merchants who had a Btock of goods Intact from the fire lo open tbelr doors and sell to all who needed. There was little to Indicate the precence ol tbe Sabbatb. Drays rumbled through the streets, delivery wagons rattled on their missions of relief, the harbor was filled with the noise of whistling boats and the railroad yards were thronged with swiftly moving trains.
