THE LANCAsrEIps FIRE.
The Vessel Filled With Water and
the Fire Out-A Survey Held.

The fire in the cargo of tho steamship
! Lancaster, reported in the News yester-
day, after having been got under control
was finally eXtinguished by flooding the
vessel. The filing up OF the holds was
finished at . O'Clock Yesterday morning,
although streams OF water were kept run
ming until noon to keep the vessel full.
Early In the morning the same board
OF survey mentioned Yesterday morning,
! and consisting OF Mai. James Z. Stewart,
/ Lloyds' agent; Maj. Fl. 4. Bolts, Under
writer's agent, and Capts. Stanhope, of
the steamship Scaw Fell, and Nicol, OF
the Border Chieitain, made an eXamlna-
| ton aud found that the fire had been eX-
| tlnRuIshed. They recommended that the
vessel be pumped out as soon as possible
and that the cargo be discharged
At noon yesterday the tugs Constitu-
ton and Forest City began work and
pumped con stantly throughout the after
noon aud evening, emptying holds Nos. 1
aud and between decks ADD the engine
rooms. They Will probably have the WORK
completed by O'Clock this morning,
when the djschargng of the cargo will be
commenced.
The value of the cargo was about $780,
600, and the vessel is valued at about $780,
600, The extent OF the damage to vessel
told until she is discharged, when fur
Their survey Will be held.
The fire department worked faithfully
and well, and the tug Constitution and
her crew rendered Invaluable assistance
at an 0ppOrtune time. The Lancaster
was visited yesterday by numbers of visi-
tors drawn there by curiosity or other
wise. The Mayor and the chairman OF
the Fire Committee were among the num-
Der.
There is no new theory advanced in re-
gard TO the origin Of this or OF similar
fires that have taken place. 1t may have
been tue result OF spontaneous comOus-
ton, or it may have been that fire was
emouidering in the cotton when it was
stored in tle ship or that a match was
dropped by some OF the men and ignited
Another theory Ia that spark
from passing steamer may have
been blown among the cotton while it
was on the wharf or while il was being
loaded, and eating into the bale slnould-
cred unnoticed, and did not break out un-
Til the bale was loaded. There are numer-
Gus theories, and one is about as accepta-
be as another.

The Southern Freight Pool, better
known as the pool of the associated lines
OF Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and

trouble, says the Chattanooga Times.

To Water.

The water coming from so low depth
must necessarily be pure, and the analysis
OF two distinguished chemists shows it
TO be remarkably so. There are virtually
no organic solids in it and the absence Of
these is strong evidence of its purity.
Tne physicians whose opinions were
consulted all said that they CONSIDER it
unsafe to drink either the river or well
water unless it is thoroughly filtered, and
the majority OF people are either unable
or are too indifferent to provide them
selves with filters.
One prominent physician estimates that
at least 80 per cent. or the sickness that
occurs mere during a year is due solely to
Impure drinking water. "And," he add
ed, lit is, 10 say the least, ANYTHING but
pleasant to battle in the muddy, dirty
water which we always have after rain
or any unusual disturbance OF the river,
nor do | consider it in any way conducive
10 good health to immerse the person in
such solution of mud and dirt as the
bath tubs sometimes contain. Did 1t
cnst ten times the amount that it is esti-
mated il will cost the money would be
well spent If the city could obtain n com
piete supply OF water from arteslan
wells"
a gentleman who has figured it out
says that 10 one year the city will save
the amount that IL Will cost to bore the
requisite mum Der of wells by the decrease
III mechanical force which is now neces-
sarY tn pump the water from the river.
Ills method OF estimating is as follows:
The we'll which is now in operation at the
water works spuuts stream %
1eet high. The ground there is 10
feet above the level of the river. This
mskes decrease OF 40 feet in the
heighJh necessary TO raise the water at
present from what would be necessary If
fhe artesian well system was in use. Or,
Rs the height TO which the present supply
hes 20 be raised is 100 feet this decrease
- 40 feet VIII amount to a saving of Just
one.third OF the mechanical force il the
supply is obtained from the aTtesian wells.
