Burning ship..

PoRT WASHINGTON. Long Island
August 2l-A fire broke Cut on the steamer
Colorado lying OF Plum Beach near bcrc this
evening. The flames spread from the Coiora-
do to the following ships, all Of which were
burned to the waters edge and sunk; the
Minnesota, su,auehanns, Corgess, South
Carolina, lows, Lotta, Grant and fsirplay,
and all, with the exception OF the lAss two,
formerly belonged TO the United states Navy
they had been condemned and were bought
from the government by stannnrd ~ Co.
who were to break them up for the old iron
and planks which they could get out OF them.
The ire broke out on the forward deck OF
the Colorado, where some men were at work
burning up plabks to get the Iron spikes. ON
the right Of the Colorado was the Susquehan-
na, to which the flames spread rapidly, and be-
fore either It or the Colorado could be towed
out, the flames had spread TO the other toats.
They all burned like tindcr, aud the sky was
red for miles around. The heat was 80 In.
tense that It WAS impossible to go anywhere
near the burning ,hirs, while the cracking
Of the flames sounded like the sharp crack OF
musketry.
The flames crcpt along the decks and bull
warks Of the ships and ate their way up tn.
mast. into the rigging. The picture now
presented Of the eight burning vessels out
lined against bank of inky cloud was one
long to be remembered. The Arc burned so
Hercely that within three hours nothing wa.
left OF the once naval defenders OF the United
States but a few charred plnnks and floating
timbers. The hunks sank at once to the bot
tom, going down with n hiss and a gurglc
amid cloud Of ,team from the water as It
swept over the burning wrecks.
The Colorado was the hrst to sink and as
the waters closed over her n mast from the
Minnesota toppled over on the Congress, and
together they sought the sandy bottom Of the
Sound. The Susquehanna burst loose from
her mooripgs, and at one time the various fish-
ing crafts which were anchored along N,
shore appeared to be in danger. She noated
about fifty yards from the shore, and after
trcmb ling for minute kecled over aad sank.
The South Carolina and Iowa followed her to
the bottom in short order n
Before going down the flames sarc.d from
the Iowa TO the Lottic Grant and Fairp,ay,
two schooners that were lying nsAr the shore,
and they, too, sank. Who tho owners Of the
schooners were could not bo aecertsined, as
the crews became 40 mixed up in
the crowd Of spectatstors that they could not
be found. Mr.. stannard, In conversation
with reporter, said: "Thc loss to me is not
less than 100000, as II WAS only for the Iron
In them that bought them. Had the boats
been serviccablc, the loss would have footed
up to Millions"
The loss on the schooner, IL Is eaid, will
not be less than e2s,000.

cratic state convention was called to order at

Before proceeding further with the nomina-
tions, Governor Hosdly WAS introduced amid
much enthusiasm and explained why he had
not been an outspoken candidate for the NOM
nation. The party had brought him through

on his part and he thought he had right to
claim denomination under rules precedent.
He demanded most searching criticism into
all his official actions and endorsed the work
OF the last legislature. He defined himself as

Lucille sat gently rocking in the little
Ttting-room of Cottage Home. 1t was a
Fery pretty room. A cluster of purple
aeliotrOpe and green leaves filled a vase on
:he table near her, and sent faint, deli
eious perfume through the air. The ar
rangements of the little apartment bespoke
the taste and culture of the fair mistress,
herself the prettiest article there. Yet amid
this dainty comfort dark cloud was set
lied on her brow. 1t was dark, hand

cidedly arrogant.
Generous. kind affectiOnate Lucille had
but two bIemishes of disposition; and
Lhese-haughty pride and self-will were
likely to mar the perfect peace and harmony
of her married lite. Dearly she loved her
handsome young husband, but more than
once had these very things come between
them.
Pliny Derby had borne with his young
wife until patience almost ceased to be a
virtue. He strove with gentle patience
and loving care to remove the only barrier
TO their perfect domestic harmony. They
had been married perhaps year, but never
until this morning had Pliny's generous
patience given out and Lucille's self-will
led her to say things she regretted the in
slant they had left her lips. So Pliny had
gone off to the store with detected and

Where is the ungOverned self-will that

Because, somehow, he kept in debt.
Yet he imagined he was wise,

And lay a little up beside.

He borrowed, and was always ''short."

So big he knew not what to do.
