San Francisco. April 19—San
Francisco tonight is the city des
olate.
It seemed that the acme of its
misery was reached at dusk,
when fllames burst from all sides
of the beautiful Hotel Fsirmont.
the palace that above every other
structure was apparently most
strongly entrenched against the
attack of the all-consuming fire.
And surrounding that lofty
pinnacle of flame as far as the
eye could see to the south, to
the east and out as far to the
west, lay in cruel fantastic heaps
charred and smoking, all that
remained of a prosperous city.
The metropolis of the western

j ficials of the Postal Telegraph
Company in this city at 8:35 p.
[ m. received the following mes
I sage from Mr. Storer, superin
tendent of their service in San
Francisco:
“The fire is still going on and
will probably consume the whole
'city except those streets situated
between the Golden Gate park
and Webster street, in which
neighborhood there is water and
where the fire department can
work with some chance of suc
cess.”
Messrs. Julian and Ross Logan,
formerly in the mercantile busi- j
ness in Jacksonport, and quite
well known to many in this city,
have been in the drug business
in San Francisco for a number
of years. Their relatives here
have heard nothing from them
as yet.

come but the hope is faint in-'

release him permanently or send
him back to jail.
Judge Trieber ordered Lake’s
release yesterday in order that
he might have an opportunity to
consult with his attorney s De
fore the matter is taken up Sat

with him yesterday. Lake also
held a conference with his at
torneys.
Lake has been confined m the
Pulaski county jail since January
3, with the exception of one day,;
about three weeks ago, when he
was released in order to give
him an opportunity to confer:
with his attorneys. He went
back to jail the following day
and has remained there continu
ously since that time.
Lake was committed to jail
January 3, under an order from ,
the federal court, upon his fail-; i
ure to pay into the registry of ;
the court $60,945.72, represent-J
ing that part of the assets of the j
Alphin-Lake Cotton Company for,
which Lake was found not to
have accounted. The United ,
States marshal was ordered to
hold Lake in jail until he had
paid over the money or until the;
further order of the court.
Lake has declared that he has
no money and is not able to pay ;
any part of the $60,954.72 de
manded of him. His attorneys
have prepared to present argu
ments along this line to the
court when the matter is taken
up for final disposition tomor
row.
There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until tne last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s
