PETERSBURG. VA, May 3.-During the
past two nights attempts have been made
by in~cendiaries to burn the houses OF the
Fire Department in this city by throwing
through the windows balls OF yarn satu-
rated with oil. Last night an attempt was
made in this way to burn the hook-and-
ladder house. A white man was detected
i'm the act, but eluded arrest after being
shot at four times. The object Of the in
cendiaries is believed to be to destroy the
apparatus Of the Fire Department, thereby
ieopardizing property in the whole city.
The Fire Committee have held an investi-
CATION meeting, and every possible effort Is
TO be made to arrest the i~ncendiaries.

DETAILS OF TIE DISASTER.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-The steamer
Grappler was burned four miles off Sey.
mour Narrows on Sunday night. The fire
was discovered by the engineer and imme-
dlately reported to the Captain. One hum
dred passengers were aboard, principally
Cinnamon, and all were In bed.
The engineer started the donkey-engine,
and connected the hose. BY this time the
passengers were warned. and the excite
ment was intense. The Cinnamon behaved
like maniacs, and were utterly uncontrolla-
bic. They seriously impcded the action of
the officers. The captain ordered all
TO be shot who refused TO obey or
ders. Notwithstanding this the Cinnamon
rushed backward and forward on the YES
sci till II was found necessary to knock
some down and carry them below; others
were put in irons. The fire was gaining,
and the efforts for its control were u~nayail-
able. The captain ordered Pilot Frank
lin to head the steamer for the YAM
cOuvcr shore and beach her. As
soon as sand was struck the boats
were lowered, but the Cinnamon jump
ed pell-mell into them and swamped them.
Owing TO the intense smoke those who
could swim did not know in which direc-
ton 10 strike ont, and surrounded by Il
mass OF struggling Cinnamon they were
drowned.
