Special to the Post-Piuiiatch. NEW YORK, May 4. The weekly bank clearings today again broke all records, footing up a total of $2.464. exchanges, as compared with the previous week. Sales of stocks and transactions in bonds exceeded those of the week preceding by 5,480,139 shares.

Many new high records were made for the week, though the tone of the market today was much weaker, and there was evidence of a return to normal conditlonu. Brokers are actually tired of making commissions. Everybody in Wall street has been overworked for three months. Many men have been utterly worn out, physically and mentally. There are a number of cases where brokers and' their clerks have utterly collapsed and have been forced to go away for a rest.

Never in its history has Wall street been, under such a strain. The actions of the banks in raising money rates and exercising restraint upon the brokers who speculate too wldtly, has been generally welcomed It has brought about a reaction which Is regarded as healthy and It is now thought that the market will gradually return to the limits of former active years. The stock market today ws much less active than on the preceding days and the sales were only 938,500. This is comparatively a small aggregate for Saturday. There was an attempt to raid the market on tho bank showing, but it was not successful.

In fact, there was less weakness throughout the day than was generally expected. St Paul showed an advance of one point at the opening and rose seven points later. Atchison advanced to 8'Sl? and he.d its gam. Union Pacific, however, fell off 4 per cent, but subsequently sold up to 122-. The day was without sensations of any kind.

Stock of the American Company and the Kennard Warehouse Were Damaged by Heat and Water. Twenty-five engines were called out by a general alarm a few minutes past midnight to cope with a fire thatstarted on the second floor of the four-story brick building at 802 and 804 North Main street, occupied by tho Ferris Stove Co. The building was practically destroyed with Its contents, and the flames devoured four-story structure in the rear, forming an ell with frontage on Morgan street. Charles Stevens, watchman for the Christian Peper Tobacco factory, diagonally across Morgan street, turned in the alarm at 12:15 o'clock this morning. He heard an explosion and saw the flames shoot through thi windows.

In the rear of the building was a boarding house for negroes, kept by Mrs. Mary Kirk. The explosion aroused the boarders, all of whom escaped with the exception of Qora Phillips, who was bedridden with rheumatism. The house was full of smoke when Policeman James Dockery of the Fourth district rushed up to the third floor and carried the woman down. Adjoining theFerrls Stove at the corner of Morgan street, is the paint and oil establishment of A.

A. Eberson Co. By heroic efforts the firemen kept the flames from attacking this building, in which was stored much explosive material. A warehouse of the J. Kennard Sons Carpet Co.

opposite the burnh.g building was in great danger of destruction. The heat broke out many of its windows, but the firemen saved it. Immediately north of the Ferris Stove establishment is the American Supply Co. Tho goods of this company were considerably damaged by water. The burned building is the property of August Kaltmeyer.

Somebody's carelessness and a cigarette "butts" cost the Messrs. Robison, owners of the St. Louis Baseball Club, over yesterday afternoon.

The cigarette was dropped underneath one of the private boxes adjoining the press box and started a conflagration which totally destroyed the grandstand, pavilion and private offices of the club with many valuable documents, uniforms, baseballs, bats and other paraphernalia used in ball games. Several thousand dollars and the private books of the firm, thrown hurriedly Into the safe when the alarm of fire was given, may or may not bo lost. Mr. F. Dellass Robison says the safe was warranted fireproof when he purchased it, but he will not be able to open it and investigate its contents until it cools.

The loss is not quite covered by Insurance. Both sections of the "bleechers" were saved. The miraculous feature connected with the tire, which burst forth in terrible fury almost unheralded, is that not a person was seriouslty injured. The cry of fire was given in the last half of the tenth inning, aboat 5:10 o'clock. Tho score then stood 4 to 4 and excitement was at ffver heat.

Wallace, the first man up, tapped Newton for a single and Childs was at bat. Ne.irly every one in the crowded grand stand was cheering or stamping, the noise entirely drowning the roar of the flames. Suddenly Hen Swlng'ey, secretary of the fire department, jumped up on a seat and shouted: "Take it easy, everybody; the place Is on fire. Get out in front." "Bit down! Sit down!" shouted -e crowd in the rear. Even then the fire was not discernible.

Next was heard a cry of "Fight!" from the rear and scores of men jumped up and ran to the back of tho stand. A minute later all were scrambling peil-mell toward the diamond. A cloud of smoke and a sheet of flame had hurst up just back of the boxes and a panic followed. "Fire." was shouted from one end of the stand to the other. Men and women rushed to the front rail, pushing and falling each other in their efforts to escape the flames.

Assistant Chief of Detectives James Smith took in the situation coolly and standing on the rail near the press box, warned the crowd not to become excited, but to get out quietly. liy this time all the hall nlavero r.r Kmh Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE. May 4. Think of St. Louis as a city of 30.000 people with Grand avenue, the river and Chouteau and Cass avenues as its boundaries. Then draw a mental picture of this tiny St.

Louis with a swath mown by fire 13 blocks wide through the very vitals of the city from Jefferson avenue to the Mississippi, and you will have some conception of the magnitude of the calamity that has come upon Jacksonville. Within this desolated area there Is practically nothing but blackened ruins covering an area of more than a square mile. Hotels, churches, banks, theaters, clubs, court house. Merchants' Exchange, armory, city hall all gone 13C of the best blocks of the city swept as clean of houses as the St. Louis cvclone swept Lafayette Park of Its trees.

The uijper floors of the bui'ding at No. 415 fell into the basement and the stock, consisting of baking powder, pickles, catsup r.nd grocers' sundries was wholly lost. In the adjoining building the damage to the stock was from water only. The policeman and watchman say that the alarm box nearest the building was out of order and that time was lost in this way.

They secured a small hose, and. attaching it to a plug near the offices, ran around through the grounds and played tho small stream upon the lire.

Between 8000 and 9000 employes In the forty shops of the Illinois Central Railway have been given a horizontal increase of per cent in wages. Although Just Issued, the order was made to take effect May 1 and will increase th annual payroll of the company nearly $300. 0u0.

Kvery man and boy employed in the shops is entitled to the Increase and eighteen classes of trades are included In the order. The Increase In wages was not due to the existing differences with the machinists, and is possible that it will have the effect of settling that difficulty.

Money, food, clothing and tehts are needed for the homeless, and subscriptions are already pouring In. The governor has placed $20.00 at the disposal of the city. Mr.

Henry M. Flagler has contributed $5000 to the relief fund, and towns throughout the state are sending money and offers of assistance. St. Augustine offers to care for 1000 women and children until their male relatives can provide for them, and a free train was run over the Florida East Coast Railway today to carry those who wished to accept St. Augustine's hospitality.
