Twenty-five or thirty cars are wreoked-mnd -the debris is'pilea up about the station ia a great mass. The engineer, John Cook, of the westbound train, was killed and a number ot trainmen were seriously injured. The others' saved themselves by jumping. The loss of property will be considerable.

" Destraetion by Fire of the Koldenoe of Secretary Tracy Hi, Wife and Daughter, Mary, Ijost Washington special: The residence of Secretary of the Navy Tracy was destroyed by fire, and during, the exoite-. ment that.foflowed the breaking out of the Wane Mrs. Tracy, her daughter Mary, and two servants lost their lives, the Secretary himself was almost overcome id. several others had ur-" row escapes 1 from dath. The residence of the Secretary was- a fine three-story structure of brick and stone and stood on I street, near Seventeenth. A letter, carrier on his customary rounds passed the house this mornings few minutes before. 7 o'clock. He left a package, and observing nothing unusual .continued np the street." Happening to glance back ten minutes later he noticed that the house was enveloped in flsnfts. Within five minutes the firemen were there. Before ladders could bi raised to the front, two ladies appeared in the second-story windows and in spite of the warnings not to jump they leaped to tho grass. -The ladies proved to be Mrs. Wilmording, the married daughter of the Secretary, and her daughter, Mias Wilmerding. Mrs. Wilmerdiag broke one of her wrists and wasjiraised. Her daughter was burned quit? seTerely, but not otherwise injured; At the rear ot the house . a woman, presumably one of thci servants, had climbed out upon the mansard roof from a third' story window. She waved a blanket to keep the smoke and flames away from bee, and behaved with great coolness. She was brought down ft ladder. In the meantime Fire Chief P arris arrived, and learning tbnt-there were people still in the house, he left the fire extinguishing apparatus to his subordinates and dashed into the house, followed by' Howard Wright, who drives the chief 's wagon. The chief told the story to your correspondent as follows: "I paid no attention to the fire when I heard there were people in tne aeasfe. I -mit m v waTttrf6ui!fi' I'flB'BlUlteto the second floor and found! a man in bed in a room. I tried to pick him up, but he was almost too - heavy. I managed to drag him into a baok room where there was more air, and then I broke the window out and ealled to n fireman in the alley to run np a ladder, i'ueu we took the man out and it proved to be the Secretary- I couldn't move him any further, for I was exhausted and full up to the peck with smoke. Then I went book into the smoke again and found a young lady Miss Mary Tracy they iell me it was and as I caught hold of her wrists to lift her up tbe flesh eame off her burned hands. I got her out, but - I oould--4o no-"" more. B. a. ivneem, woose nouse on (seven teenth street runs back to the rear ox the Secretary's ' house, gives a graphio account of the terrible death of Mrs. Tracy. I heard terrible screams, said Mr. Bheem, "about 7:15 o'clock this morning, and jumped from bed and ran to the window. Mrs. Tracy was hangingby her bands from the sill oi a window on the second floor. She was screaming Wnd almost immediately dropped to the ground. Mrs. Tracy, still alive,was brought in by two firemen . and was placed oh a sofa in a neighbor's house. Here she lingered for about an hour, fully conscious, and" apparently suffering but little. It was a little after 8 o'clock when she spit up a' little blood, hardly enough to be termed a hemorrhage, closed her eyes, and. without a moan ceased to breathe. The unconscious Secretary, while these sad scenes were occurring, was borne to the residence ot Judge Bancroft Davis, in an adjacent block. Ex-Surgeon-General Wales and Drs. Karr and May'' attended him. Under their ministrations be regained consciousness, and in a feeble voice said: "How is my wife?" "I don't ' know," replied Dr. Karr. "I haven't seen her." "Then, for God's sake, doi't think of me," he murmured, and elapsed into unconsciousness. The doctors think that he 'is not fatally injured. Mrs. WUmerdine, who leaped from the second-story window, sustained slight injuries; one' of her wrists was. broken, while her young daughter escaped with a slight contnsioa of tho knee. The following message of condolence was received by Secretary Tracy: Osbobhb, Feb. L Vmthc British XmUter, Wiuhington: Vllie Queen deeply denloret the calamity to Mr. Tracy's family, and inquire alter htm and the survivors. Pohsonbt. To this Secretary Tracy sent the following reply : . Mr. Tracv bees the British Minister to con vey to her majoKty bis sincere thanks for her gracionsnioBsage of sympathy, and in reply to her kind inquiry say that bis surviving daughter ana granacntia are out oi u auger. . A CITY IMPERILED. The City of Portland, Ore., Bald to Be in Danger from Flood's. Aspeoiul from Chicago, dated the 6th inst., soys:'" Fibr s'iSve'l'Sl 'days past the city of Portlarid and other points in Oregon have been praotioajly cut off from telegraphic communication, andfrom a telegram received this afternoon by the Postal Telegraph Company at Montreal, by 0.- K.

The message, which came from Portland this afternoon, was as follows: "The water is now flooding First street and is knee deep. All traffic in the streets is suspended, . as the ' only ' means of communication is by small boats. The Pacific postal telegraph office floor is flooded with water and the river is still risiua. There is no news from the south." A phenomenal raiu storm has prevailed in Southern Oregon since Friday, which, in coo ueotion with the melting snow in the mountains, has oaused the greatest flood kuowu since the country was settled. The damage to Southern Oregon oanuot be- estimated as yet, for poktal communication is so uncertain and limited that only surmises can be. made of the ravages of the water on the line of the numerous tributaries of the Roque River Shorn of Her Tresses, Miss Clara Schumann. 19 year of age, whose home is on South Main street, Bur lington, Iowa, while' in the performance of her domestic duties went to the woodhouse in the rear of her father's dwelling to get an armful of wood.
