A MILLION TN ASHES.
BURNING OF THE INNfAN STEAM.
ERS' DOCK.

A Big Blaze in New York-The Steamer
ChattahOochce Unscathed by the
Flames-The Ocean Steamship Pier
Exposed but Undamaged-Fierce and
Rapid Flames.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-The Inman Line
steamship pier was burned early this
morning. Large quantities of goods stored
at the pier We're destroyed. The steam
ship Egypt, which was temporarily docked
alongside the pier, was considerably dam
aged. Several vessels were set on fire bv
sparks, but the fire was extinguished
before much damage was done to
them. When the Egypt moved out
into the stream the fire swept toward
Pier 81, belonging to the Ocean Steamship
Company, of Savannah, and set il on fire
several times, but the flames were sub
dued by the employees and a special corps
OF tiremen. The steamer Chattahoochee
OF Savannah, was moOred to the north
side of the pier, and as the fire spread the
position of the steamer became more dan
gerous. The loss is estimated. st 1886, 900.
The entire pier, with it's asheds and
merchandise stored in them, was destroy
ed, nothing remaining but the piles, which
supported the pier. The loss is roughly
estimated at $1,000,0O0. The steamship
Egypt was damaged in her rigging to the
the amount of few thousand dollars.
The Savannah steamer, ChattahOochee,
that lay at Pier 80, exposed to the full on
set of the flames, was hardly scOrched,
her crew being on hand with hose and
pumps.
The Ocean Steamship Company's dock
was not damaged at all. All the piers in
the neighborhOod were cleared of vessels
as fast as tugs could tow them out. Sew
eral vessels suffered slight damage to
their sails and rigging. The fire started
in lot of cotton on the Inman pier, and
rapidly spread. 1t was helped by the ex-
plosion of a large number of carboys of
vitriOl.
The Superintendent of the Inman Steam
ship Company estimates the loss at that
company's pier at half million. To this
must be added great number of small
losses on canal boats, barges, lighters and
vessels at neighbOring piers, which aggre-
gate formidable sum. No lives Wero
lost. The pier was insured for $50, 900,
the machinery $21 900, and the merchan-
disc for $150,0O0.

In the House, Mr.. Kelely, OfPennsylva-
MIA, asked that an agreement be entered
into whereby the House should sit until
6 O'Clock every day, that the tariff bill
might continue under consideration.
Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, regarded the
request as a proper one, and tacit agree
ment was entered into as suggested by
Mr.. Kelley. The House then, at 11:15, went
into committee of the whole, Mr.. Bur-
rows, of Michigan, in the chair, on the
tariff bill.
Mr.. Ellis, of Louisiana, moved to strike
out the item imposing a duty of 10 per
cent. on carbolic acid. He thought there
should be no restriction on the importa-
ton of an article which was so universally
used as a disinfectant, particularly in the
Southern States.
+ Mr.. Kelley intimated that he was
willing to agree TO the amendment, but
asked for the present that it be Withdrawn
and the item recurred to at some future
time. It was so ordered.
Several amendments were offered in the
direction of a reduction of the duty on
chemical preparations of lead, but all
were defeated excepting one striking out
