They Set Fire to Large Lumber
Yards in Cleveland, Ohio.
REPETITION OF THE SCENES OF
TWO WEEKS AGO.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. q. The scenes at the
CREST hre two weeks ago we're repeated today,
though on smaller scale. The fire was
Thought at that time to have originated in an
accident, but today's occurrences lead to a be-
lief that it may have been Of incendiary orr
GIN. The lire broke oat this noon, in Monroe
Bros: q Co.'s lumber yard on the upper flats,
and destroyed large amount of property, in
Guiding 100000 feet of lumber When the
flames were fairly under control, dense
smoke was seen pouring from the inside of the
firms dry house. There was no fire outside of
the building, and no wind to blow the sparks
from the large fire, and it was undoubtedly the
work of incendiaries. The second fire was ex-
tinRuished with loss of about $4,000. Be-
tween and o'clock in the afternoon, when
the ire department were about to go home, a
thick smoke, as IL from coal oil, suddenly
poured forth from the inside of the dry shed in
Brown, Strong & Co.'s lumber yard, some dis
lance from the yard of Monroe Bros & Co.
The fact that two suspicious looking men
were seen watching this fire at its inception,
without moving to give an alarm, strengthens
the theory of arson. When this last fire
broke out, and it became certain that incendi-
aries were at work. Word was sent to the
neighhoring towns for help, and engines cane
from Akkon, gainesville, Sandusky, Elyria

lire ia under control, and no further danger is

SEAMEN'S WAGES.
A Circular Enstructing Masters TO Pay
Them in Current Funds

A Circular Enstructing Masters TO Pay
Them in Current Funds.
WARRINGTON, Sept. 20.-The acting COM
missioner of navigation has issued the follow
ing circulars in regard to the payment of sea-
mems wages
1t has sometimes been the practice in dis
charging crews of vessels to allow the agents
to draw "sight draft on private individuals
who require the seamsn to receive a part OF the
amount of the draft SIN kind" for instance,
in clothing Sec. 4549, Revised Statutes, with
certain exceptions, provides that seamen dis
charged in the United States from merchant
vessels shall be discharged and receive their
wages in the presence of duty authorized
shipping commissioner, and also provides that
any master or owner of such vessel who pays
the wages OF seamen in any other manner
shall be liable to penalty Of $50, 1t is the
opinion OF this Office that the law contemplates
the payment of the wages in current money.
Their payment Sin kind or by drafts on pri-
vate individuals or firms, as above mentioned
would be in violation of the statutes. All
such illegal payments will, therefore, be dis
continued, and United States shipping COM
missioners will see that the payments in their
presence are made in such manner that the
seamen shall receive the wages due him in
current funds.

Nine innings game called on account OF darkness.
NOTES.
1t is fair to say that, although two wretched de-.
clslon were made against the Portlands, the Re-
serves outplayed them both In the field and at the
bat.
Had the Portlands' men been brought in from
playing such long field, the Reserves would only
nave made i've base hits Off Fish, and there would
have been less runs.
The game should have been to o in favor of the
reserves at the close OF the 9th inning instead OF
to 2.

and for the Portlands Guliver caught as pretty q

ed TO win, and Connor's wicked pitching defeated
the home team.
OF the positions of shortstop and third base We
nave spoken before, and we have nothing more to
say; We have called Manager Burnham's attention
to these positions several times both in this column
and personally; but he has not cared to make q
change; the result Is that Of 10 errors made bV
the Portl inds in the two games with the Reserves
10 of them have been made in these two positions.
Chatterton played great deal better game Satur-

liver the ball TO the bat when any part Of his per-

this rule and why did not Callahan cali his alton

Boston will come out second is also question be-

victories is ST. four than the number attained
by Providence. If the latter therefore wins five
of its remaining games, the pennant goes to the
Rhode Island representatives That this will be
done there is no question. The Chicagos, Butfalos

there all traces were lost.
