THE
REVIEW
fflJJIC TIRADE
V O L . XXXII. No. 1 9 . Published Every Saturday by Edward Lyman Bill at 3 East Fourteenth Street, New York, May 11,1901.
Jacksonville Fire-swept.
One of the Greatest Conflagrations of Recen t
Years—Hundreds, of Pianos Destroyed in
Homes and Warerdoms—Banks now Opened
up and a ilore Hopeful Feeling; Prevails.
[Special to The Review.]
Jacksonville, Fla., May 7, 1901.
A great calamity has visited our city. On
Saturday over 148 blocks were laid waste,
the approximate loss sustained being about
eleven million dollars.
The burned dis-
trict is two miles long and thirteen
blocks wide and extends from the St.
John's River, where it burned ten docks, to
the water's edge, to Catherine street on the
East, Orange on the North and Davis to the
West. This included the well-known piano
stores of the Cable Piano Co., who lost six
thousand dollars, Ludden & Bates, and the
A. B. Campbell Co., whose loss is estimated
roughly at $35,000. Both of these buildings
on Bay street are familiar to trade visitors
and the extent of the fire can be estimated
when I say that it reached from the Union
Station to far beyond the Campbell and Cable
stores, taking in all of the prominent business
and residence buildings on all sides. Hun-
dreds of pianos and organs were burned up
although the owners tried in every way pos-
sible to remove them to a place of safety.
Indeed the efforts made by the people to save
their most valuable belongings were pitiable.
The appetite of the fire fiend was apparently
insatiable and he demolished all that came in
his way.
The most cheering feature about the situa-
tion is the absence of any great loss of life
and the magnificent conduct of the citizens
of all colors who acted with rare considera-
tion for each other and with a sense of order
that was admirable. The prominent men of
the city have taken immediate and active
steps to bring order out of chaos, and to-day
citizens are waking from their dazed, con-
dition and looking.forward to a new Jackson-
ville. They have been buoyed up by ex-
pressions of sympathy and tenders of assist-
ance which continue to pour in from aH parts
of the United States. Relief is due to-day
and the immediate and noble response of
New York to the call for assistance is keenly
appreciated.
The banks were open to-day and doing
business, though six of them occupied rough-
and-ready quarters. Much to the surprise
of the bank officers the deposits were equal
to the withdrawals, thus setting to rest the
rumor that there would be a run on these
institutions. This, with the fact that the in-
surance agents and adjusters make confi-
dent assertions that all losses will be paid at
once, has done much to restore public confi-
dence, and plans for the fiuure are being
hopefully made.
The local manager of the Cable Co., and
the A. B. Campbell Co., have been in receipt
of telegrams from the manufacturers whose
goods they represent and as soon as a build-
ing can be secured they will at once open up
again.
