THE ARMENIA. steamer armenia
which WAS burned at the foot Of Wolfe street
rastar5sv morning, still lies in the same
condition in which she sunk, in about ten
feet IF wafer. which washes completely over
bsr deck leaving nothing but her upper
.rorls exnosed. Although it ia almost I'M
noasbIe to tell, It is generally believed that
her hull is badly damaged, as the fire orisi-
mated below and burned SO long IN hsr nod.
The reports that have been circulated that
the fire was of iDcendiary origin are not
credited by those acquainted with the facts
and there are none to warrant such reports.
The sinking Of the steamer was due 10 INC
quantity of water thrown on her during 'he
fire by the steam engines and the Tug Ore"
erton. which found its way in her hold, anf
not TO her having been scutIled. An effort
was made during the fire to scuttle her, but
it proved unsuccessful and was abandoned
after hole had been partially cut 10 her
side. The Armenia was faVorlte boat WIN
excursionists from this city as she was Oh
ficered almost entirely by Alexandrlabs.
AS heretofore stated, it is not yet definitely
known what disposition Will no MADE or
the wreck, as her owners can DO notnlng t!ii
the underwriters make their survey and as
certain the extent of her damages. sue

The Armenia was formerly owned by the
Albany Day Company, aud was dag boat,
running upon the Hudson river between
New York aud Albany. She was the fastest
boat on the river. As far hack rs 1918 her
races with the steamer Arrow were daily
chronicled in the New York papers, and the
result was looked for by many readers. In
1851, while racing near Yonkers with new
boat, the Henry Clay. the latter caught fire.
The burning steamboa was run aground, but
not in time to avoid the most terrible catas-
trophe that up 10 that time had occurred in
the annals of steamboa,iug. The les; Of life
was appalling. Il being mid summer, tour,
lists from all portions OF this country and
Europe thronged the lines of travel, and
among the victims of the Henry Clay were
many prominent citizens of the South aud
West ~ we'll as from New York. The
pres of America WAS filled with details Of
the disaster, and many happy homes were
thrown into mourning.

Dinwiddie. Hippo, Sharpe, Smithson and

and social evils one of the speakers threw
hot shot into club rooms that keep men
away from the house ofthe Lord or Sunday

will be discussed. On tomorrow Thurs

foreign missions; for the revival and in

all who believe; for home missions and
evangeiistic efforts-that more laborers, full
of the spirit of love and power may be sent
forth, and that great iugathering of souls
may take place; for native Christians
among the heathen-that they may keep
steadfast and jealous in seeking the saliva.
