MANY LIVES LOST.
Story of the Jacksonville Fire
Not Yet All Told.
Jacksonville, Fla., May 6. Two
bodies, both negroes, were found float
ing in the St. Johns river this morn
ing. The charred appearance of por
tions of the corpses indicated too plain
ly that they were victims of the ter
rible fire which swept the city last Fri
day and Friday night.
The river is being watched today,
everybody believing that the water will
give ui its dead on the third day. This
indicate? that many people believe that
the fire drove bewildered men and wo
men into the river. It is Impossible to
ascertain who is missing, as thousands
have left the city.
S. A. McCortie, who was employed at
the Gardner ship yards, almost lost his
life in trying to save the people who
rushed down .Market street to the river
when the flames were at their fiercest.
He says he succeeded in getting twenty
persons across the river, but as many
more were either burned to death or
drowned at the pier.
" I had no idea the ship yard was in
danger." said Mr. MeCortie. "I was
trying- to save my tools as the fire was
being blown to the east and away from
the docks.
"Suddenly the flames shot across the
yard with the wind from the west risiht
behind them. I knew then everything
was going. I tied from the building
that was burning over my head. On
the pier I Faw a crowd of people. I
am positive that forty is a low estimate
of those I saw. Of this number 1 saw
afterward only the twenty I carried
across. There was absolutely no way
of escape for them.
'After I had carried my boat half way
across the river I heard many cries and
shouts that seemed to come from the
smoke at the pier. I know many were
dost at that moment for the flames were
on all sides and the river in front."

season, has been reopened to care for
the refugees. Other winter resort hotels
will probably open tomorrow, as the
crowds leaving the city are being aug
mented freely today.
Thousands of people worked yester
day and last night. The firemen have
not been relieved, because the debris is
still burning, and streams of water are
being poured into the flames and em
bers all the time, night and day.
On every telegraph and telephone
pole that was not destroyed linemen
were at work. The trolley company
has a large force of men at work hang
ing wires and clearing the tracks,
where the street was sufficiently cool,
so as to establish cars as soon as pos
sible. It will be several days before a
car can pass into East Bay street. Ten
military companies are in the city to
prevent vandalism and the militia pa
trols all parts of the city.
LONG DRAWN OCT.
Judge Hazau Takes a Rest From Pan
cake Case.
The Ralston pancake flour trade-mark
case has been closed for a time in order
that the district court may look after
some criminal cases.
The Ralston case has been before the
court the better part of two weeks and
ITS witnesses and depositions have been
heard by Judge Hazen. It will take
some little time to ciose the case and
make the arguments. The Ralston case
is one of the bulkiest ever before the
court and the first case tried by the
court concerning a trade-mark.
COOL WAVE HERE.
Mercury Fell Twenty Degrees on
Sunday.
A cool wave arrived in Topeka on
Sunday on schedule time and the max
imum temperature fell off about 20 de
grees. Today's maximum up to noon was 0
and the minimum T2. The wind has
been northwest blowing 20 miles an hour.
Today's forecast is: "Generally fair to
night and Tuesday." There were a few
