dock burned this morning. The loss is
between So, 600, 900 and 81, 900, 900. The
fire broke out at $50 O'Clock. The flames
ran swiftly through the sheds and store
was one mass of Are. From the remotest
parts of the town, in response to the fire.
Quent alarms Of fire, the apparatus came
laundering down. The heat was so great
that effective work from either the land or
river side was nearly impossible. At 3
o'clock the steamship Egypt, lying at the
dock, was towed into the stream all ablaze,
from stem to stern. Her spars bore the
flames to the rigging of numerous other
vessels lying at anchor. Nearly the entire
Fire Department Of the city were on hand,
but many of the engines could not be
used. At $50 the extreme river front, for
many hundred feet, was ablaze. All at
tsmpts to save the property on the 1nman
dock were abandoned, and the work of the
firemen was concentrated on the Guion
Line dock adjoining. The famous ship OF
that line, the Alaska, was in the greatest
danger, the tugboats and ferryboats max
ing efforts to save her by hauling her into
the stream. About 60 lOngshOremen were
at work on the stream end of the pier, un-
loading the Egypt, when the fire broke
out. 1t was feared that some of them had
been burned, but this fear, in a great
measure, has been dispelled by the state
meut Of an engineer, who discovered
and fought the fire until the firemen
arrived. 1t is still possible that some may
have been caught and lost their lives, but
1t is not probable. The engineer on the
pier is Amos Smith. He was in the en-
CINE room at the extreme end Of the pier,
attending to his duties, when the fire
broke out, aud was first to discover it. He
fought the flames for fully a quarter of an
hour, and claims to have been the
last man who left the pier. His face and
hands are burned, and his hair and eye
brows scorched.
Trouble Among the Cadets.
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. There was some
trouble among the cadets yesterday. The
cause was that Cadet Woodruff Of the first
class was reported for dishonest conduct,
having certified on his honor to a false
hood, which he acknowledged in writing
afterwards. He was reduced to the ranks.
Cadet Lieutenant Street then led his COM
maud out, cheering the broken cadet. The
Lieutenant was reduced to the ranks, and
on the reading of the order a number of
cadets groaned, and the first class took part
in the mutinoGs edings. Several
cadet officers, in insubordinate letters, re-
signed their rank, and were placed in con
inement.
