FIRE ON BOARD A SHIP IN FORT.
The Rescue ofrwo Sick womon From a
Terrible Death.

AtFFtptt behths
New YoRE, April 24-Fire broke out
early this morning in the lamp room Of the
steamer Italy, National line, lying at the
foot Of Houston street. The alarm Of fire
was at once sounded, and the matches
were quickly battened down. In the
steerage hospital were two emigrant women
too sick to be removed yesterday when the
steamer arrived. For the safety OF these
great fears were entertained, the sick
wards being Close to where the fire broke
out. Several sailors volunteered to 20 to
the rescue, and descending below decks
soon brought the women on deck alive,
but in state OF emi.consciousnesS from
the effects OF smoke. They were taken
into the cabin where they were cared for
by the surgeon.
In rescuing the woman the sailors dis.
covered the source Of the flames. A hole
10 the flooring over the spot was cut and
water poured In, and the flames werequiCk-
lyextinguished. The damage to tho ship
between decks Is estimated at 5000. The
damage to the cargo by water is believed
10 be heavy, as the ship having arrived late
yesterday, none Of twas renewed. :

WASHINGTON. April 24.-oficers Of the
Postoffice Department say there is no
truth in the statement recently published
to the effect that communications have
been received urging the appointment Of
x.President Hayes as postmaster at Free
mont, Ohio. Mr.. Kribbs, who was appoint
ed postmaster at Fremont by Mr.. Hayes,
was recently found to be between two and
three hundred dollars short in his accounts,
but he has made the amount good and still
holds his position. Its probable, however,
that new appointment will soon be made.
