TJtnEE BLOCKS OF BUILDINGS IN
KUI.N8 INCENDIARISM THE CAUSE.
New Orleans, December 1.
A fire broke out early this morning
at the corner of St. Bernard and Clai
borno streets. It has reached and
crossed Esplanade street, and is still
burning. Three blocks have thus far
been destroyed. As far as could be as
certained tho following is the nurui.cr
of the houses destroyed by the fire:
Twenty on Columbus street, twenty
four on Robertson street, thirty-two
on Viller street, three on Maris street
and ten houses and St. Anna's Church
on Esplanade street. The dwellings
of Auguste and Amadee Coutcrio,
Abrams, Rocca, Clark ami Crozat,
superb residences on Esplanade street,
were consumed. Most of the build
ings burned were small cottages, and
hundreds of poor people lost all they
possessed. Leon Ditrieux, a member
of the Fire Department, had his leg
broken in three places. A negro, who
was detected setting fire to one of the
buildings during the progress of tho
conflagration, was shot and instantly
killed. Another negro, also found in
tho act of committing a like crime,
was shot at, but was missed, and suc
ceeded in making his escape. Tho
losrf is estimated at from $300,000 to
?400,000; insurance 200,000. About
fifty houses wero occupied by a hun
dred families, who lost nearly all their
effects and are left destitute, many of
them losing their wearing apparel.

Attorney-General Taft takes a very
sensible view of thoquestlon raised by
the Democruta as to the eligibility of
posmasters who have been appointed
electors. Ho says they can make
themselves eligible by resigning their
commissions before they receive a
certificate of tUeir appointment from
the Governor. They are in the samo
position as that occupied by Gov,
Hayes or Gov. Tilden. Neither of
these gentlemen is eligible to tho
Presidency as long as ho holds the
governorship, but either can become
eligible by resign! ng the state office.
