Washington, Long Island, last night. The
men-of-waf had been towed to Plum Beach by
Stannard Co., who were to break them up for
the old iron and pianks they could get out of
them. The fire broke out on the forward deck
ing up planks to get the iron spikes. On the
right of the Colorado was the Susquehanna to
which the flames spread rapidly, and before
either it or the Colorado could be lowed out the
flames had spread to the other boats. They ali
burned like finder, and the sky was red for
miles around. The heat was SO Intense that it
was impossible to go anywhere near the burn
Ing ships. The flames crept along the decks
and bulwarks Of the burning ships and ate their
way up the shrOuds into the rigging. The fire
burned SO hercely that inside Of three hours
nothing was left Of the vessels but q few charred
T1imbers. The bulls sank at once to the bottom.

How Timothy uanIev Died.

THE WAY THE BODY WAS FoUND-INDICATIoNs
THAT HE DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DROWN HIM.
SELF.
Timothy Hanley, who committed suicide yes
terday morning, his friends say, had not been
on spree, as he seldom drank anything They
attribute dis act to mental arrangement pro-
duced by . sunstroke which he received about
five weeks ago, since which time he had not
been at work. Reynolds Post No. 6, G. A. R.,
took charge OF the body last night and buried
1t to-day at Arlington. Mr.. l.. A. Littlefeld,
proprietor Of Littlefleld's wharf, who notified
the police Of the tragedy, stated to q STAR re.
porter to-day that the suicide was not COM
United at his wharf, and furthermore that
Hanley did not throw himself into the water.
Hanley had been seen in the morning at the
property yard wharf near Littlefleld's wharf.
A little before II O'Clock, Henry Clay. a colored
shore, came to Mr.. Littlefield's office and said
some distance below. Mr.. Littletield tele-
then went to the spot where the body lay, at
the lower end of the sea-wall, nearly half q
mile away. He found Hanley lying dead on the
rubble at the foot Of the sea-wal1 with pistol
wounds in his head, as described In The STAR.
A part of his body lay in the water. Mr. Lit
tleheld thinks the body had been there an hour
and that 1t was at first entirely out Of the
water, but had been Topped by the rapidly
rising tide. The body was lying on the left
side, and one hand was thrust into the vest.
The clothing was not wet. No one seems to
have seen Hanley In that vicinity till he was
found dead.

HOW YOUNG MAN PASSED THE CIVIL SER.
VICE EXAMINATION IN BALTIMORE AND HIS
BROTHER GOT THE POSITION.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Postmaster Veazey has discovered that Frank
A. Gels, young man, who was reported to him
as having duly passed the civil service exam
inafton. and appointed a substitute letter car.
rier August 10, never, in fact, attended the
civil servic examinations. He was personated
by his brother, as young Gels himself acknowl.
edged to the local board OF examiners yester-
day
The reason assigned by Gels for the deception
practlced on the examining board was that he
mashed bis hand the day before the examine
ton, and being confident he could perform the
duties to which he might be called, he did not
think ne was doing very wrong. The brother
passed frst-rate examination, his average
being 93, the highest OF the carriers class.

names of the four highest on their list, accord.

report his name for appointment at Washing.

Gels for their information, without any detec-
tive assistance, and the result was the young
man admitted that he had got the appointment
without having been present at the examine
ton.
Mr.. Veazey said he had no desire to criticise
the public interest obliged him. Its purpose
was good, and some law TO secure q good civil
service was very desirable. But that there are
defects in the law is apparent from this as well
as other instances. If such thing as this can
De done 30 easily 1t suggets whether there are
not other similar cases. With a large room
filled with 200 to 800 persons, under four or
hve examiners only, such an occurrence was
not to be wondered at. The written vouchers
of the citizens who signed Mr.. Gels application
paper were confirmed by equally strong testi-
monials for him given in response to printed
card, which the postmaster always sends out
before recommending an appointment. Mr.
Veazey Said he did not know what action
would be taken by the board in the case.
