1882. Until then It was ordered by the

BURNED TO THE WATERS EDGE.
One OF RObesOn's Naval Graft De-
strOYed st Her Wharf.
Ne,o York Star.

For number OF years the steamer Algon.
quin has been moored at the foot of. West
ThirtY-hfth street, where the lucrative busi-
ness OF blood drying has been carried on
Yesterday the steamer was burned to the
waters edge, entailing q loss OF $4,000
upon the owners, Messrs. Howard. Spears&
Co. at 2:30 O'Clock yesterday morning, as
preparations were going on for the days
WORK, smoke was seen issuing from the bow
OF the boat, quickly followed by sheets of
angry serpentine flames. The superin-
tendent, Mr.. j. W. HOPPER, and number
OF men resorted TO the fire extinguishers
and water hose at hand, while one of
their number was dispatched to send
the alarm, but 1t took at least ten minutes
to find the man who had the KEY of the
fire box. Meanwhile the flames spread
and drove the men aft. They worked man
fully, but were driven farther and farther
and remained at their posts with such per-
sistency that number Of them barely es-
capped with their lives, one man being
compelled to jump from the spar deck to
the dock. When the regular fire corps ar
rived the steamer was In q mass of flames
and the heat was intense. Meanwhile the
steamer Havemeyer steamed up, and soon
succeeded In pouring six streams OF water
on the burning vessel. The large building
on the lower end Of the dock, owned by d.
OsCNSnsJ bne brewer, caught ufe, ana
despite the determined efforts of the Have
meyer and the men on shore it was also de-
stroyed.
The salvage recoverable upon the Algon-
quln is estimated at about $4,000. The
owners are insured in half dozen compa--
nies, the risks Of which could not be ascer-
tanned. They are the Star, the Commercial
Union, Liverpool, London and Globe, Man
haitian, Lancanshire and London Companies.
The algonquin has quite an interesting
history. She was originally built for the
United States Government as q gunboat,
was fitted up with reversible engines and
had two stems, so that she could steam in
any direction without incurring the delay
Of turning about. Her speed was expected
to be very great. She was built at the Brook
lyn navy yard and launched in 1885,
but as the rebellion soon came to a
close, the vessel was not put into active ser
vice. She was equipped with two Of the
heaviest Parrott guns, in addition to which
the muZzles of four smaller cannons were to
be seen on the port and starboard sides.
The vessel remained on the books of the
navy until 1870, when she was purchased by
capitalists and turned into factory for the
production of fertilizers, and was moored at
the foot of Fortieth street, North river.
She was purchased in 1875 by her present
owners, who began the process of drying
bullocks' blood on board, which was readily
purchased by phosphate manufacturers.

THEY STOLE THE ROOF.
Further Revelation In she PhIIa-
deIphia AImshouse Scandal.

PHILADELPHIA, September 9.-Some curl
GUS developments are being made before
the District Attorney as to the almshouse
frauds. Among other thefts the roof was
stolen off the slmshouse. The roof was Of
copper, and the fact being apparent the
Board Of Guardians determined to put on q
new roof, which is less expensive and more
durable. The old copper was sold for
$1,000, although there is no record
in receipts at the Comptroller's Office
to that effect, and none but Major Phipps
can tell among whom the money was divi-
ded One OF the wOrkmen who were gathering
the copper thought he was entitled to his
share, and disposed Of several large pieces
for $40.
The manufacturing department of the
almshouse has for years been under charge
Of John B Snyder, who was very close to
Phipps. His testimony before the District
Attorney occupied the entire day, and the
clues which It furnished are now being
worked out. Snyder told the District At
torneY his impression was that the material
which was intended for the almshouse was
being hauled to other establishments out
side, in material such aslesd, etc. The
appropriation to the manufacturing
department, annually, expended was
about $16 900, while the actual amount
expended each year for several
years past has been but about $1,000, the
cOnspirators thus obtaining $1,000 annually
from one department.
W. E. Curry, milk dealer, was arrested
this morning at the instance of the District
Attorney on the charge of conspiracy and
fraud in charging the city for milk which
was never delivered at the almshouse. He
was held in $4,000 bail to answer. Similar
arrests OF fraudulent contractors are to be
made later on.
