GREAT FIRE IN MEMPHIS LOSS WII.I. PROIl.tllLV REACH U 1,000,000. The I' ire In Supposed to Have Had ItH Origin In the Crodsliiit of l'.lectrlc Wires - No I.ohs of Life lit Reported. Mi-MPiiis, Feb. 9. At 9:30 o'clock last night the building occupied by the lirucc Ikine lint company, dealers in hats, caps and straw goods, was discovered to be on fne. The entire rear portion of the six story building, from basement to top, seemed to lie nblaze in an instant. At 10:15 the building occupied by the hat company collapsed 'ind into the space formerly occupied by it crashed the building of the LnngstalT Hardware Co., which adjoined it nt the south. At 10:30 the Levy trunk factory was a total wreck nnd Leiihrman's probably the finest hotel south of the Ohio river, was in flames. At 11 p. 111. l.culiriiian's hotel had fallen nnd was n total loss. The "Kuby" saloon nnd a large har ness factory and another building are a total loss. H is thought that no lives were lost in the l.ciihnnan hotel, as the guests had ample opportunity of escaping before the lire was communicated to the hotel. The magnificent five-story hotel at the corner of Main and Monroe streets was splendid food for the flames nnd in less llian an hour was totally destroyed. A breeze arose and changed the course of the lire and it began to sweep east ward. The firemen were forced hack at evcrv point by the resistless fury of the (lames, and in a short time the "Kuby" saloon nnd the saloon of J. ('.. Mayer, adjoining buildings, were destroyed, liastward and to the south of where the blaze started the lire went on. Soon l.eninions ,V Gales' wholesale dry goods store was a mass ol ruins. II. Wet- ters' hardware store and Win. Jacks' china store were next to he destroyed and W. N. Wiler Sons' wholesale drug store was the next reached. It was thought that this structure with its well-known lire-proof walls would prove a barrier to the llames, but the lire crept in upon the stock of inflammable drugs from the side and rear, nnd it was a blazing circle. Again the wind veered to the west and the lire started east ward to second street. Jones, llulin & Co.'s priming establishment was liui ncd to ashes in a short time. The Lilly car riage company, oil Second street, next caught, nnd the rear portion of their factory, with part of the stock, was de stroyed. It is impossible, as yet, to give any accurate list of the losses or the insurance, but the following esti mates are given by a prominent insur ance agenev: Hotel Lcuhrman, loss $100,000; insurance, $C0,0Ut.

"We have now before us the assault upon the Miner law in the president's message and we have heard of the re ported meeting of the republican state committee of Michigan to devise means to deleat the Michigan plan. I cannot sec how republicans will be nble to ac coniphsh their purpose, as the canvass of the electoral vote will be had by dem ocratie stale officials, and all that will be leu v. ilh the republican senate will be to throw out the democratic electors by main strength.
