Burning of Docks and a Large Quantity of

Burning of Docks and a Large Quantity of
Lumber at Oscbda, Mich.
DETROIT, May ia Free Press special from
Oscoda. Mich, reports that at 2 o'clock this af
ternoon fire was discovered in T. r. Thompson 81
Co. q mill. The fire was in the lumber docks, in
close proximity to the steam barge Oscoda and
tow, which were loading at the time. The
flames spread rapidly. AT 5 o'clock the fire had
been checked, but not until 100000 feet Of
lumber at an average value of about $40
per thousand, had been destroyed The loss on
the docks will be between $4,000 and $50. 900,
and falls on eight different owners.
By the time the fire on the Thompson dock
had been got under control, fire broke out on the
immense docks of the Au Sable Lumber Com
pany, a quarter Of milo distant

tug and two more engines from Bay City win
start soon. 1t is the biggest lumber fire ever had
in Michigan.
LATER The fires on t he lumber dock Of the
Au Sable Lumber Company and I. f. Thompson
60 Co. were under control at Ii o'clock, or
partially so. At o'clock the wind, which had
been blowing gale from the south, veered to
the west, aud greatly lessened the dam
ger to j. f. Potts e. Co.'S docks. The
only fire protection Au Sable has is a hand en-
CINE. The men have been working at il for nina
hours, and if not soon relieved by outside as
sistance the flames cannot long be controlled.
However, it is thought they can be controlled
until the arrival Of help from Alpena
Bay City has refused to furnish help. Two
million feet of lumber was thrown into the river
from the Au Sable company's docks, and as it
passed the burning piles 1t caught fire and was
carried out into the lake, which is now
covered for miles with scattered spots
of flame. The floating burning mass, as 1t was
carried north by tho wind, for time greatly
endangered the docks in Oscoda, but the change
in the wind stopped all danger in this
direction. So far. about 100000
feet of lumber has been burned
on the An Sable company's docks. The fire has
not yet been put out, and the seething mass Of
flames, covering several acres lights MP the sur
rounding country. So far as known there was
no insurance on the lumber destroyed and Mons
is reported on the Au Sable company's docks.

THE ARMSTRONG CASE.

Editor Stead and Others Committed for
Trial-Views of the Magistrate.
LONDON, Sept 26-Rebecca Jarrett of the
Salvation Army; Thomas William Stead, editor
of the Pail Mall Gazette; Sampson Jacques,
one of the staff Of that paper Mrs. Combe, Mr..
Bramwell Booth, of the Salvation Army, and
Louise Maurey, the defendants in the abduction
case of Eliza Armstrong, were committed for
trial to-day. Mr. Russell, counsel for Mrs. Jar
rett, reserves his line of defense.
!. During the proceedings. Mr.. Stead, acting as
his own counsel, read document containing his
line of defense. He claimed that the end which
he had in view in carrying out his scheme justi-
fled the means he had resorted to. He admitted
that he might have been mised by the state
ments of Mrs. Jarrett who, if she had procured
the girl Eliza by false pretenses, as testified to
by Mrs. Armstrong, had obtained money from
him fraudulently.
The magistrate frequently protested against
portions of the document, stating that the mat
ter was irrelevant.
The magistrate summed up the case strongly
against the defendants, and said that nothing
could justify their doings nor the publication of
the nauseous articles in the Pail Mall Ga
zette. He acquitted Mr. Bramwell Booth and
Mrs. Coombe of the charge of indecent assault,
but committed them, as well as the rest of the
prisoners, on the other charges.
