THE EUREKA FIRE. Full Particulars of the Disastrous I Conflagration. .3998 HEART OF THE TOWN DESTROYED. Three Hundred Buildings, Covering Acres, Burned. LIST OF LOSSES AND INSURANCE.

A Seine of Excitement Beggaring Description. IT TSLXSRIra TO TOB RXCORD-naOR.) Eureka August At about 10 o'clock A. M. yesterday an alarm of fire was sounded, and the entire population was soon in motion. A dense cloud of amoks was seen to issue from the rear of Mrs.

Poplin's fruit and vegetable store on Main street, just south ot Odd Fellows' Hall. In two minutes several wooden buildings in the immediate vicinity were enveloped in flames. The fire seemed to make UMPBECEDESTED HEADWAY From the very start. The firemen were promptly on hand, and two streams were applied, but without visible effect. The was blowing a gale from the southward, and continued to blow as only it can blow in these mountain canyons until the flames had run their course.

It would have been an awful sight at It was terrible even in the broad glare of day. The fire backed against the wind on the southward to Gold street, crossing Buel, and in turn reaching to Spring and Paul streets, its course and scope being almost identical with the great conflagration of April, 1879, differing only in these particulars: It went a little farther south, and stopped a little short of the old mark on the north. Possibly 000 houses, many of them business establishments, were destroyed. Also, seme of the finest and most costly private residences in town were consumed. A space equal to fifty acres of THE VERT HEART OF THE TOWS Was swept.

this vast area only a half dozen buildings remain to relieve the widespread ruin and desolation. Jack corner, Tommy Douglass' building, the Foley Rickard block, Paxton bank, Jake Cohn's store, Dr. Schneider's drug Kayser's clothing store and C. Lauteuschlager's corn saloon are the only buildings left. All else was literally licked np.

i The Leader office. Odd Fellow's Hall, Theater, International Hotel, A. M. Hillhouse's elegant residence and the Methodist Church were anions the prominent buildings destroyed. The House was gutted, but still stands.

The International is melted away level with the It was due to the most heroic efforts that the fire was confined to the east side of Main street. The entire line of buildings on the west side are charred, and many of them badly damaged. The exact origin of the fire is not known. The first any one knew the inies were far advanced in the rear of the premises noted. 7 7 A.

AS INDESCRIBABLE SCENE. When the fire had got beyond control a scene ensued which beggars all attempts at description. Hundreds of men, women and children, totally panic stricken, frenzied in fact with were fleeing in all directions for safety, some of the cooler ones bearing with them cherished articles of perianal cr household goods. Those on the lines of Spring and Paul streets scaled the rugged mountain to the eastward, while persons further down the fiat sought refuge in the direction of Nob Hill. In the meantime drays and wagons were dashing, hither and yon in the utmost haste to bear away valuables from the doomed district.

Above all the shouts of the firemen mingled, as they heroically battled unsuccessfully with the devouring element. Finally the sun went down on a stricken and exhausted people. The Sentinel roughly estimates the losses at tLree-riiarters of a million, covered by about $150,000 insurance. It thinks there must be suffering among. the poor, families, and calls for a meeting at noon to-day to organize a relief committee.

Eureka, August 18ih. The meeting of citizens organized a relief committee, composed of the clergy and others, and adjourned until to-morrow. But few, cases of absolute destitution are reported thus far. Several parties are clearing away the debris to I rebuild. It is ascertained that fewer poor families were burned out than on the occasion of the other great fire.

Our people are hopeful, and last night 4,000 of them attended Cole's among the number a great many of the sufferers. The Daily Leader is being issued regularly from the Sentinel office. W. W. Hobart, the proprietor of the Leader, is in San Francis sa.

There is in the hands of the old relief committee of a year ago about $2,000. It has cot been determined to call for extraneous aid, though the committee tomorrow may ask i for assistance. Ex-Congressman was Chairman of to-day meeting. Closing Public Houses in Sir R. Cross, said recently that ihe was I sure I that there was no one in the House of Commons who did not wish to do all that he could to promote the cause of having regard to all the misery and crime which were but too frequently the result drunkenness.

While it was admitted that something should -be done, the danger was of doing something, rather rashly. If public opinion was favor of closing public houses on Sunday, he did not think that there 5 was a member who would not be glad to see it gratified. Many places wished public houses to be closed on Sunday and many places did not but there was a. ot.rnß" lin the country that something should be done. -y The man win feu Lot ms bunk or the steamboat explained that his il.ick.n.i eye wasajberth DAILY EimRHIIMJI AVRIES, TtUNI 1 1 -NUMBER til.

San Buesavsstpra, August A petition embracing the of about WO of the 1,100 voters in the county, addressed to Governor Perkins, goes forward to-night. It asks Executive interference in the case of ague, on the grounds, briefly, that owing to a misunderstanding between the late Judge Fawcett and counsel, all effjrts to get case befi re the Supreme Court on its have been unavailing that the case was tried during a period of great public excitement; that Jesse Jones, the principal witness lor the prosecution, now repudiates his testimony; that six jointly indicted with Sprague, have all been dismissed, and, finally, that the petitioners believe the etds of justice would not be subserved by the execution of Sprague, ami prey Executive interference in hit behalf to such an extent as may seem just anil proper in view of the circumstances.

Portland, August General Howard, Captain Sladen, Lieutenant Gay Howard, General Scriver and Lieutenant Wood have returned from an official visit to Fort Lapwai.

Gen. Howard, in the course of a conversation, stated that while there was some dissatisfaction among different tribes of Indians, he did not anticipate serious trouble with them this season. The Spckanes, who have taken up land claims some 30 in number, wish to obtain titles to their land, and General Howard will endeavor to procure them such titles. The following fi-dieiinen were lost from the Astoria Packing Company this season Peter Okanson, a Swede, 23 years old, boat-puller for August Vosberg, William Raddenburg Scotland, 32 years; John Crapper, Liverpool, England, 32 years. There is little doing in the wheat trade, the in port under engagement filling up very slowly, and those disengaged receiving but few offers.

Shippers are evidently disposed to operate with tbo utmost caution until the course of the European market after harvest is more clearly defined. At present the few transactions here are upon a basis about SI 40 per cental for choice lots. Receipts arc confined to small parcels from up the Columbia, this valley not yet having forwarded any considerable to this point. The reports of harvesting and thrashing so. far are encouraginjr, and there is no reason yet appearing to induce a reduction of the former estimated large surplus.

There is nothing new in wool, which continues to come forward in moderate quantity. ARIZONA. Bich told Suicide for Territorial Convention. 7 Pnff.NlX, August ISth. George Treadwell, the mining expert, showedjfour reporter a geld nugget weighing 121 ounces, wotth $220, from the new placer diggings near Antelope Peak; fiftteen miles north of Wiekenburg.

How is it that such a small house as HALE' and with but little pretentions, has leapod into such prominence The reason is simple: Tho people do not care about trading with those who, years ago, when they had no opposition, bled them so unmercifully. Second New firms sprang into existence, preaching a new doctrine, their escutcheon bearing the motto One Price, and Cash Basis :77 And the Battle-cry, "DOWN WITH HIGH PRICES and success crowned their effort for a time but, alas! "HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN!" Having gained the confidence of the people, they could not resist the temptation of raising the price, and yet they carry the old insignia. But to-day, you may write, "Icabod," upon those houses: "FOR THE GLORY IS DEPARTED FROM THEM They have the form without the power.

The people have somewhat against them. That they have left their first love The confidence of the people has bean abused, and therefore lost. They still have a few baits to catch the unwary as a lady remarked to us but yesterday, They have a few cheap but my husband, on principle, won't let me purchase them Such were the words used. These are the reasons why these houses degenerated so quickly, and lifted "THE upon its pedestal. Oar first house was established nearly forty years ago, and we point with pride to its record, and that of its branches.

The Golden Rule holds good in each and all. From first to last, there is is no stain upon the HALE FLAG, and it flaunts from Michigan to the Pacific; it is a good, steady old-fashioned American House, practising what it preaches, and therefore it has the supreme confidence of all classes. The volume of business in each house grows daily it is a healthy sign. We, in Sacramento, are barely out of our swaddling clothes, and yet we are recognized as an institution of the city. Only a few weeks in Sacramento, and our house is progressing with gigantic strides we don't care who knows it.

We know that so long as we keep in the same track keeping faith with the people WE HAVE LITTLE TO DREAD BIG LEVIATHANS OR LITTLE FISH 1 1 Our success is an assured fact. We are aware that OUR CRITERION" is a long distance from some parts of the city, but it is the shortest route to ECONOMY and while other houses are plastering the public with PRICES ON PAPER, we are fighting a legitimate battle, by producing the goods on the counter, and we believe if a charge of dynamite were to explode in the midst of our opponents, they would not be I more astonished than at this exposition of our takings. ONE WORD IN CONCLUSION. Wo don't wish to get rich too fast. We don't poach upon the lady who has probably spent some years of her existence in learning the beautiful art of Millinery nor do we interfere with the legitimate Hat Maker in the prosecution of his business or the Shoemaker his trade or substract aught from the Jeweler or jumble up some six or seven businesses in one, under the guise of DRY GOODS, WE ARE NO MONOPOLISTS.

We mean to give our undivided attention to our own legitimate business, and tight that business legitimately against all other houses. Now, let the people judge. We question whether it is wise or honest to lose money on a pair of boots, and make the hat customer pay for it or, whether in the long run it will pay to lose money Jewelry at the expense of the purchaser of Dry Goods. We have now done. WE CABE NOTHING AROIT THE SNEERS OR I NINTENDO Or OCR COM- OR PERSONAL INVECTIVE.

We have now, with our increased room, facilities for carrying a much larger stock and a mors varied assortment than heretofore. We were de- termined to make this department so complete, that it should be second to none on the coast. A-' We shall enumerate a few items, which we claim can be purchased at our house to advantage; WHITE SHIRTS! tr We obtain these goods direct from Troy, and as we purchase in large quantities, we obtain our WHITE SHIRTS at the same prices as those paid by. the San Francisco wholesale houses. We believe we are the only house in this city having this advantage at purchasing; for even if others order East, they can neither find a first-class house to fill their orders, nor can they obtain as low prices, unless they order in large quantities.

The same can be said of our stock of Linen Collars, Cheviot, Fancy Dress AKD CALICO SHIRTS! C. NECKWEAR DEPARTMENT Has been amply stocked with stylish TIES, BOWS and SCARFS of every conceivable shade, texture and design, so as to meet the demand of the most fastidious or fashionable. NEXT IS ORDER COMES Our Underwear Department tr We obtain the principal supply direct from the New York Commis- sion Merchants. Hence, we claim the same advantages as in our WHITE SHIRTS and COLLARS. We manufacture considerable of the goods sold in this department on the premises.

We now employ in our Factory about 30 hands -running the Sewing Machines by a Rider Engine, thereby reduoing the cost ol production. '-A A. TAiA-.
