Disastrous Conflagration at Nash- ville Caused Widespread Ruin. A destructive fire broke out on the south side of the public square at Nashville, Tenn., Saturday night, which threatened for a time to baffle the heroic efforts of tfie fire department, but which was put under centro] after two hours’ hard work. Immense damage was done by water in saving threatened buildings. The estimat- ed loss is from $300,000 to $400,000, largely covered by insurance. Three buildings fronting on the public square and their contents are total losses. Lebeck Brothers? store, in which the fire originated, was one of the handsomest and most commanding buildings in the city. Four other buildings fronting the public square were partially burned and their con- tents damaged by fire and water. The city’s bilding at the south end of the market house) containing the con- troller’s and trealurer’s offices, was also almost totally «ongumed. On Market strect{isouth of Lebeck’s build- irg, five buildings*were burned. The prin- cipal one was a handsome four-story struc- ture belongingto Burns Brothers, owners of the Lebeck!*ullding. The rears of sev- eral banking houses and of a jewelry es- tablishment wefe diso badly damaged. The origin of!th# fire has not been ascer- tained.

Sixty-Four Repeblicans, Twenty-One Radicals and Twelve Reactionaries, Elections were held yesterday in France to replace one-third of the senators whose terms. are expirirg. The senators chosen will held office three years. The radical and socialist candidates and. numerous ex- tremists hoped te secure enough seats to change the character of the senate and to prevent a recurrence of the constitutional struggle which took place last April be- tween the senate and the -Bourgzois cabi- net. Their platform called for the elec- tion of senators by untversal suffrage. These hopes were blighted by the re- sults. of yesterday's elections, all of the socialists being defeated. Sixty-four r publicans were elected, 21 radicals and reactionaries. M. Waldeck-Rousseau has been re-elected. The constitutional struggle last April grew out of a vote of censure passed by the senate on M. Ricard; minister of jus- tice. The chamber voted a resoiution cf confidence in the ministry, which declined to resign, maintaining the constitutional prerogative of the chamber to sustain the ministry. eo Platt Needs Only Four More Votes. A canvass of the choice of the members of the New York legislature for a United States senator, to be elected on January 10 to succeed David B. Hill, shows up to date that seventy-two members favor Thomas C. Platt; one, Senator Frank D. Pavy of New York city, is for Joseph H. Choate, and sixteen are undecided. It,will take seventy-six votes to nominate in ‘the republican caucus and 101 votes will be necessary to elect a United States sen- ator. eee AUCTION SALES OF REAL ESTATE, &c. Today. Walter B.
