vast freight terminals of the Illinois
Central Railroad, knovn as the Stuyvesant
docks. Nearly a iozen squares of
modern wharves and freght sheds, two
magnific ent grain elevdors, hundreds
of loaded cars and vast quantities of
freight, including 20.000bales of cotton,
were destroyed, togethc* with a large
number of small lesiderecs. The lire
was still raging furious!' at midnight,
at which time it had aisasi reached the
upper < nd of the Illinois Central property.
It has not been destorniined
whether there has been any loss of
life. The oiean-going shipdng seems to
have escaped serious danage. A number
of firemen and emphyes of the
docks were injured. Actualestimates of
the losses are impossible, though they
may oxcee;l $5,000,000.
TWELVE SQUARES iWEPT.
The Stuyvesant docks ectend from
Louisiana avenue almost t> Napoleon
avenue, a distance of twelv> square3.
The wharves between thosetwo points
were covered with miles of trackage,
and steel and iron sheds ran the whole
distance. The two grain elevitors wero
of the most modern constriction, the
upper one having a capacity of a million
bushels. Thousands of lushels of
corn, several hundred thousind packages
of sugar, great quantities of cotton-seed
oil and oil cake, lunber and
every conceivable variety of fr'ight filled
the warehouses and sheds Practically
ali tho export business haidled by
the Illinois Central was put abaord

extensions and immense investments
having been made.

Instantly got beyond control, communicating
through the conveyers tc the

The response of the fire department wfts

the terminals were inaccessible, owing
to tracks, the engines found difficulty
in reaching the flames. In half an h-uir

At the same time switch engines were
rushed to the wharves and hundreds I i
of box cars loaded with freight were ;
drawn to points above the upper end j
of the terminals before the tire reached
them. Many hundreds more, how- | <
ever, were consumed.
DIG GRAIN ELEVATOR BURNS.
The wind was blowing down the
river and the blaze spread with great
speed in that direction. By 9 o'clock
the lower elevator and sheds and
wharves from Amelia street tc Louisana
avenue, a distance of six squares,
had fallen in. Fortunately, Louisiana
avenue is a very broad thoroughfare,
and the further spread cf the fire beyond
that point into a residence section
was checked. Between those
points, however, the flames swept to
complete destruction many cottages of
the poorer classes, the occupants in a
great many instances losing all they I
possessed. With the wind in a favor- I

! worked past the point occupied by the
| elevator. Heroically, the forces kept
: at work, but ultimately they were
^teaten, and the big steel structure,
covered with corrugated iron suddenly
burst into flames at 10:30 and in a half
hour was a complete wreck.
BLAZE OF TERRIFIC FURY.
At midnight more than nine squares
of the terminals had been completely j
i destroyed, and It seemed unlikely that
| the fire would he checked until It
reached Napoleon avenue, which also
is a very broad street. During the fire
a heavy wind blew, and the blaze was
of Indescribable fury, carrying brands
to great distances, driving back tho
crowds of sight-seers. Immense pieces
i of corrugated iron, torn from the sides
of the upper elevator were carried
: through the air as if they were feathers,
j and, dropping in every direction, coni
stantly endangered the lives of firo!
men and spectators.
The weather was bright and warm,
50,000 people visited the scene during ;
the progress of the fire. Aside from j
the tremendous loss involved in the j
destruction of property, the fire is a '
calamity to New Orleans in the tern- j

city early Saturday, doing immense
damage and causing the known death
of three persons. The losses are variously
estimated at from $1,000,000 to
$2,000,000. Sunday was a day of
, gloom in Ilot Springs. The first esti!
mates of the damage done by the great
] conflagration were not exaggerated.
| More than forty blocks were eaten
i away by tho flames, and the most con- !

bankruptcy proceedings against her
before Referee Remington, sbo r?f-.if.ed
at first to be sworn. After const
it at ion with her attorneys she finally
consented to take the oath. She was
then asked to state her name. Sh?
reCused to reply to thts or any other
questions that followed.
Mrs. Chad wick sought refuge in her
privileges as an accused person, and.
she refused to answer most of the
questions on the ground that what she
said might tend to aid the prosecution
of her criminal cases. Referee Remington
found in her favor, although
ho insisted, against her counsel's wishes,
in making her give a qunsi-expla
itiit'on of her rcfusEl.
"My financial affairs arc so closely
allied with the case in the Federal
Court that anything affecting the on?
must necessarily affect the other," said
Mrs. Chadwick, and tho referee declared
that that explanation of her
position was as admirably expressed
as it could be.
"What they want is to got possession
of our Information," stoutly declared
Attorney l>awloy, on behalf of
Mrs. Chadwick.
Despite Dawley's objections and his
Irate declarations that Mrs. Chadwick
was being unjustly and Improperly imposed
on Mrs. Chadwick was forced
to take the stand and be sworn. This
she did very gracefully, smiling pleasantly
and cheerfully, as the referee
administered the oath. But she refused
to say that she was Mrs. Cassle I*.
Chadwick, and smilingly persisted In k
that course. Referee Remington vain- M
ly appealed to her, explained to her. I
cajoled her, and almost threatened her. I
Mrs. Chadwick was an interested lis

conversation moved her not a jot. Finnllv
