lyn-Twelye Eiremen Seriously Injured,
One Fatally. H
NEW YORK, July 10.
At about 1880 O'Clock this morning
sparks from the engine fell into pile Of
Jute which had just been landed on Har.
beet Dock from the ship Lawrence E. De-
lap, from Calcutta. The dock was filed
with hemp, jute and coffee. The flames
spread with incredible rapidity, and in
few minutes the entire dock was ablaze.
The Delap was the first vessel to catch fire,
and all her rigging was burned before she
could be towed out Next to her on the
south side of the dock was the ship Perse-
verance, also from Calcutta, which arrived
yesterday, and on the north side lay the
ship COL Adams, from Calcutta. To both
these vessels the flames communicated, and
the crews jumped overheard for safety In
the meantime general alarm had been
sent out, and five steamers and four hook
and-ladder trucks were soon on the spot.
When the firemen reached the dock the sup.
ports of the roof gave way, and the roof
fell in with a terrific crash, burying
over a dozen firemen and dock hands be-
meath the ruins. A rescuing party was
quickly formed and the men dragged out
from the blazing rafters. None Of them
were dead, but all were more or less burned
and bruised. Firemen Mcnamara, McDon-
aid and McDougal, of Hook and Ladder
Truck No. 3, were injured seriously. A
cOnlmotion just then occurred in the crowd,
and the chief of the battalion gave orders
to clear the dock, as the ship Lawrence
Delap, which was now on fire above ap1
below, contained 1900 bags of saltpeter A
rush was made by the crowd to the further
end of the dock. While this was going
on the hoisting derrick, from which sup
ports had been burned, fell over on the
wharf with crash, knocking two dockmen
overheard.
Custom-house Inspector Harraden, in at
tempting to escape from the ship Col.
Adams, was severely burned about the face
and hands. The ships Perseverance and
Col. Adams had by this time been towed
far out in the stream, and the tugs poured
streams into their holds. The efforts of the
fremen were mainly directed to extinguish-
ing the flames on board the Lawrence E.
Delap, in which it was momentarilY feared
an explosion would take place.
Three men were seen to throw the trunk
of Captain Grove, of the ship Lawrence
Delap, overheard, containing f2,000 and
$4,000 worth Of jewelry belonging to his
wife, 1t was picked up by river thieves,
who rifed it. The wife and child Of Cap
tain Grove were saved. Twelve firemen
were badly injured by the falling in of the
burning roof of the pier, but only one is
thought. uhllt. to be fatally hurt. The ship De-
valued, with cargo, at $l50,0G0. The ship
Col. Adams burned at the pier. The bark
Perseverance hoated into the stream and
burned to the waters edge. Total loss is
estimated at 81 ,000,00

ST. LOUIS, Mo, July 10.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July l9
EARLY this morning report began CIR
r,ilating to the effect that General Grant
had dropped dead on the street IN New
York City. The story was that some OF tne
personal friends of General Grant in this
city had received dispatch conveying
dents death. A great many friends OF
the Grant family in this city were seem
but none of them had received such tele..
gram. Bulletins were posted in some OF
the newspaper offices saying that as
patch had been received announcing
Grants death, but that it lacked confirma.
ton and was probably a canard. The great
body of the people believed the report ana
about nine A. NJ. flags were foating at
in honor Of the illustrious dead.
After twelve O'Clock dispatches were re-
ceiyed at the Western Union office statlne
that Grant was alive and well.

japanese Holidays.

The japanese have more than twenty
fanciful names by which they designate
their beautiful country, but the sobri-
quet which 10 a foreigner seems most
fitting is certainly the land Of holidays.
No excuse is too trivial for a japanese
10 make holidays, and when he does
not make them himself, the govern
ment politely steps in and makes them
for him. Thus, one day in every six, cali
ed ichi roku, is a statute holiday; so is
the third day in every moon. whilst the
list Of national festivals commemorative
Of great men or Of great deeds is sim
ply inexhaustiblc. If a great man dies
in England, they commemorate him by
a monument in Westminster Abbey: If
a great man dies in Japan,he is remem-
bered by holiday; so that what with
the mythical great men who are thus
remembered and the historical great
men who have died during the past
five thousand years, it is little difficult
TO find a day Of the japanese yeai
which has not the name Of a celebrity
attached TO it; just as, in glancine
down a Roman Catholic calandar. we
find that every day has its particular
saint But the greatest day of the year
the festival par excellence Of the people,
the festival into which is compressed
the essence of the fun and enjoyment
and happiness Of all the other days put
together, is the festival of the new
year. We may be familiar with the
celebration of the day in Paris or New
York, but the proceedings there art
tame and lifeless when compared with
the spontaneous outburst of rejoicing
which characterizes new years day in
Japan.

Whistling SupcrStitions.

In whatever way regarded, either as
graceful accomplishment or as the
spontaneous expression Of light
hcarteincss, whistling has in our own
and foreign countries generally at
tracted considerable attention. WHY
it should have been invested with 50
much superstitious awe it is difficult
20 say, but it is a curious fact that the
same antipa,hy which il aroused
among certain classes of our country
men is found existing in the most dis
tant parts Of the earth. where. as vet,
civilization has made little or no i'm
pcrccptihle pogress. Thus Captain
Burton tells us how the Arabs dislike
10 hear person whistle, called hy
them 81 sifr. Some maintain that the
whistlcr's mouth is not 10 be purified
for forty days; while, according t. tht
explanation OF others. Satan touching
a mans body causes him to produce,
what they consider, an offensive sound.
The natives Of the Tonga Islands. Poly.
ncsia, hold it 10 he wrong to whistle
as this act is thought 10 be disrespcct
ful 10 God. In Iceland the villagers
have the same objection to whistling,
and so far do they carry their supcrsti.
tious dread of II that 'if one swings
about him a stick. whip, wand. OF
aught that makes a whistling sound,
he scarcs from him the Holy Ghost.
while other Icclanders. who consider
themselves free from superstitions.
cautiously give the advice: DO it not:
