It was 8:30 o'clock when Slate Fac

he smelted smoke and suggested an in

there were cries of tire from different

The f ut burst oi ll.iniesl cfnre nil alarm

is known to have saved more than the
clothes on their person. The lire burned
fiercely for five hours.
M least six servants arc unaccounted
for. The payroll has not yet been fully
verified and it may be that several per
sons perished.

he took Louis P. 1'avne, a well known
friend of Hamilton Fish, to room 303
just before the tire broke out. lie re

Sumner, at which the woman was con

has recently icccived a petition from
citizens ot Buncombe asking him to rec
ommend a commutation of the woman's
sentence. Continuing he says:
"1 write to you to show that I have
not been unmindful of these requests, and

Jacksonville, Fla., Dec. 31. Reports
by wire from 51 correspondents in the
orange districts of the state indicate
that at least 1,800,000 boxes of unpicked
oranges are solid pieces of ice und more
than 300,000 boxes of oranges in ware
bouses, or lying in bulk preparatory to
picking are frozen. Tomatoes, cabbage,
beans, peas and all vegetables in the
northern half of the state are ruined ex
cept the pineupple plantations which are
not mucn injured.
The tail of the northern blizzard
switched around through the Florida
peninsula and within the space of a few
hours Florida had sustained a loss that.
estimated in money, would reach into
the millions.
The destruction will be felt for manv
years, dirictly or indirectly, by all the
people of the State. The lowest temper
ature at Tampa was 18 and the same
was reported at Titusville. At Cedar
Keys it was said to he as low as 16 and
at Key West it was down to 14.
The cold weather played havoc with
the plumbing and water supply in Jack
sonville. Muny people lound their water
pipes Irozen. The occurrence was so un
usual that it was some time before the
residents could realize that the water bad
actually frozen in the pipes. There was
ice in shallow places, however, and there
were icicles everywhere. The weather
nns moderated and the cold sp-.il is now
over.
