Skxty-TwO Persons Go Down with
the Ship-Twenty Saved-Great
Fires at Philadelphia and
Elsewhere.

New YORK, May GA special from st.
Johns, N, F., says: The French brig Seno-
rine, which went ashore on the Grand Banks
on the 10Th inst, was total wreck in fifteen
minutes. Fifty-three passengers and nine of
her crew were lost The Senorine was
caught in fog and the Captain lost his
bearings. He was making for this port,
and was going slow when the
vessel struck The widest disorder immedi.
ately prevailed, the officers and crew made
for the boats, leaving the passengers to care
for themselves One boat containing
twenty passengers and some of the crew was
swamped, after it got away, by the
lurching of the vessel. The screams
of the women were heartrend-
ing; most of them sank imme-
diately; the men struggled, but only few
succeeded in catching floating spars. Many
of the passengers chung to the vessel'ss rig
ging alter the first shock, thinking the vessel
would stand the storm and that they might
be picked up when the fog cleared, but
when the vessel went to pieces all were lost.
Only twenty persons were saved from the
wreck

Defending Brother Ferd.

NEW YORK, May CIV. s. Ward, a
brother of Ferdinand Ward, was asked if
there was any truth in the statement that his
brother was preparing statement, and he
said in reply: ut is net entirely correct. He
is not preparing a statement, but is putin
me in possession of facts that will ten
toward the efforts we are making to explain
the exact condition Of the operations of the
firm and Of himself. He was preparing tc
do SO himself, but the arrest acted as clog.
"Has your brother been embarrassed by hi:

my brother has nothing to say" replied
Mr. Ward, "but what Gen. Grant would b.
willing to have said regarding himself. As
for Mr.. Fish, time will right any injustice hi
may have done If he has done nothing
why then he need not fear any statement
He said that my brother was a scoundrel

PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-Lightning struck
a tank containing crude oil at the Atlantic
Refining company's works on the SchuyE
kill river, at the extreme southwestern
portion of the city. The flames COM
municated to another large tank, and
some small ones, and at 1890 a. m., all were
burning fiercely. 1t is feared that oil in
other tanks will also catch fire. The loss at
the hour named was estimated at $50, 600
Several vessels moored at the wharves were
towed into the river. Some larger tanks, to
which the flames had not reached, contain
benzine and paraffine, and it is not improba-
BILE they will also be burned.
LATER. The fire spread during the night,
and is still sweeping over the works A
dozen storage tanks have burst. Efforts are
being made to run off the oil in the tanks
The paraffine works, consisting of several
brick buildings, are row destroyed. The less
is estimated at 5000, 900 or over.
All the oil property at Point Breeze is con-
sidered in peril. The tug Stokeley is aiding
the fire department from the river front. An
application has been sent to Gen. Hartranft
to send a detail of the Keystone battery to
blow up the tanks at the Belmont works il
order to save property and prevent the fire
from spreading TO the gas WORKS
LATEsT.-The situation at the Atlantic Oil
works is unchanged. There is no immediate
prospect of the fire spreading. The oil is burn
ing fisrcely, and the project Of piercing the 25,
600 barrel tank by cannon balls to draw the
oil is under consideration. Cannon have
been placed In position, but the officials an
cautious of the surrounding property. Tht
Celmain oil works and the gassworks are re
garded as safe.
CLEVELAND, May 26.-During a violent
thunderstorm lightning struck the petroleum
tank at the Excelsior works, glanced, ana
suddenly struck and fired the 80. 600 barre
tank at the Star Refining works, a mile dis
tant The tank contained 5000 barrels O
oil, which burned till o'clock in the morn
ing. The loss is SIS, 600; insured.
TORONTO, Canada, May 26.-The Torontl
Mail Office caught fire at an early hour in tn
morning, and before The progress of tn
flames could be arrested nearly half tn
building was consumed. The northern wing
fronting on Bay street, was saved. The en-
tire telephone service of the city was de
troyed, as the company had it's central offic
in The Mail building, and every wire wa
torn down. The damage will amount t
over $lG1 900. Thesnsurance is unknown.
NEW YORK, May 26-The oil tank a
Hunters Point ignited and bursted with
terrific explosion. The fire has gained cyl
siderable Roadway, and it is impossible a
this hour to estimate the loss.

Unloading a Big Wheat Deal.

MILWAUKEE, May % "A sensation has
been created on change here by an announce
ment that William Young & Co. were
quietly closing out their Chicago and Mil
waukee wheat deal, amounting to between
100000 and 100000 bushels. 1t was
the biggest deal of the season, and it
was carried into July wheat. The senior
member of the firm, Governor" Bill Young,
informed reporter at noon that the deal
was at an end, and that every bushel had
been closed out at an average of 81 cents.
He said the firm has not lost money
on the deal, and that it was
closed out because the financial situation
was uncertain, and because it had
been charged that the deal was seriously
blocking the wheat movement. Rumors
have been rife that the firm was dumping, "
but it was denied strenuously, and it was not
until now that Governor Young would admit
that be had been unloading for several days.
What effect the transaction will have on the
markets cannot be told

CHICAGO, May 26.-The Times has the fol-
lowing special from Richmond, Va: The
significance of the result of the town elections
held in this state is to be found in Mahone's
avoidance of making contest in any of the
white districts One Of the principal reasons
for this evasion was to avoid the issue Repub-
hcanism which would have been forced upon
Malone. 1t is a well-conceded fact in he
state that the southwest, the great strong
hold of the white voters, has held the bal
ance Of power in all the political contests
made by Malone in this state Had his
party placed tickets in the field in the towns
of the southwest, the whites gin that section
who have heretofore followed him would
have been afforded an opportunity
of repudiating the summary manner
in which the senator's convention
pledged their support to the Republicans
in the future. Malone, therefore, considered
it prudent to avoid any issue from being
made in the white districts before the presi
Dental election. Petersburg, Norfolk, and
Danvilie, the three towns selected by Malone
in which to make fight for the local officers
have colored registered majority. The re
suit of the elections in those towns can hardly
| be said to show any diminution of the
strength of the new Republican party. Ma
hone and Riddleberger both carried theil
home towns.
