HE Gm A BIG FIRE IN JACKSONVILLE' Barns over 130 City Blocks, 1,300 Buildings Destroyed. j I The Fire Swept Oyer * Strip 2 1-2 wJ^iM J^ng by Elalf a Mile Wide?The Logs Estimated at from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000?Over People Homeless. I Jacksonville, Fla., May 4, 1 a. ! m.?The most disastrous fire in the history of this city began yes terday shortly after noon in a small factory, from a defective wire, according to the best be lief, and burned for nearly ten hours. In that time a property damage estimated from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 was effected. According to the city map, one hundred and thirty blockw were; burned, many of them in the' beartof the business and residence ( section. The estimate of houses 1 to the block is 10, hence 1,300 of ; them went up in smoke. Many of the finest public and private buildings were destroyed, including hotels,theatres,churches and residences. 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. W W Cleveland, in whose premises the tire originated, and who was one of the heaviest losers, dropped dead frem excitement. A stalwart neirro. hrintrint* <? ?-?? r>"~p> * | trunk on hit htad from a burning ' building, went crazy fro.n th? horror of the tituation. He ran around in a circle with the trunk on hit head until he tank exhausted and died. Women ran through the etreet tearing their hair and clothea, and in teveral instances had almost denuded themselves when they were caught by friends and led to places of safety. Horses ' hitehed to trucks could not be cut loose quickly enough and many of 1 them ran wild through the de~ moralized throng.

The burned district reaches from Burbridgt street on the north to the St .John'e river oq the south, u distance of qtiito two mi lew. The width of the desolated area >s thirteen blocks. Withia this space practically everything is blackened ruins. On Bay street, the principal part of trade, the Western Union Telegraph company's building is the first going west. Everything east of Liaurel on Bay is gone. At 10:15 Q'clock last night the fire was under control, having practically buraed itself out. The suburban settlements, with the exception of La Villa, are intact. La Villa vras badly hurt. The extent of the damage cannot be told until tomorrow. Thousands of persons ire on the streets tonight homeless, with practically all of their worldly possessions upon their backs. The depots of the ruilroads situated in the south eastern section, have been turned into temporary lodging houses and hospitals. Luckily the weather is fine, so that there will be no suffering on that score. Jacksonville, Fla., May 3 ?

I ) , there are many rumors afieat . | of loss of life, but as every under- t taker in the city was burned out, it is impossible to obtain an offici-1 al report.

Tallahassee, May 2-?In the house yesterday, Mr. Wall of Putman introduced a bill to abolish liquor ealoons and establish a State dispensary. The hill is based dq tha South Carolina dispensary law, and a duplicate will he introiuced in the senate today.

It is framed to offer a solution >f the f;ood roads movement whioli ins received favorable consideraion all over Florida for several rears past, and was made an issue or settlement by the last Democratic State convention. A new and leading feature of he proposed Florida dispensary aw provides for the expenditure >f all n?d proceeds from the dispensary in constructing modere hrough public highways betwesn mportaat points in the State. Supporters of the bill are conident of its passage, and claim hat under the operation of the aw $1,000,000 per annum net will be available for building good *oads. Tourist hotels are certain ixemptions under the dispensary 'egulation. A Trout Shooter Shot. Special to The State. St. Mathews, May i. ? Mr. H. F.
