Another large fire strikes New Orleans leaving five hundred homeless

The Fourth District of New Orleans, Louisiana had been hit with a large fire ten days before a new conflagration burned more than fifty houses and left more than 500 homeless.  The fire began in the mid-afternoon in a stables business on Washington Street in the Fourth District and by midnight more than seven blocks had been destroyed.
