THE LIFE SAVING STATIONS.
Good Work During the Year-Many Lives
 and Mnch Property Saved.

Good Work During the 1ear-Many Lives
 and Much Property Saved.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-General Superin- tendent Kimball, of the life saving service, in his annual report for the last fiscal year ended June 30, 1SSS, reports 222 life saving stations in operation at the close of the year, TO being upon the Atlantic, A on the lakes, on the Pacific and l at the Falls of the Ohio, Louisville. Ky. The number of disas- ters to documented vessels within the scope of station operations during the year was All There were on board these vessels 3,633 persons, of whom only 12 were lost. The number of shipwrecked peop @ who received succor at life saving stations was 745. The estimated value of the vessels and cargoes in volved in these disasters was $9, ,2S5, and of this amount $7,116, i05 was saved
 The number of vessels totally lost was Il. In addition to the documented vessels lost Nhere were during the year 1S3 casualties to smaller craft, such as sail boats, row boats, etc, on which were 297 persons, of whom were lost
 Thirty-seven other persons, who had fallen from wharves and piers, were also saved by life saving crews. Four hundred and ninety two vessels, when stranded, were during the year worked off and piloted out of dangerous places, and besides this 220 vessels in danger of stranding were warned off by signals and saved from partial or total loss.

A Clear Case of Arson.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The police an nounced yesterday that the fire which oc- cured on Sunday morning in the type foundry of Phillip Heinrich, at No. l95 Will jam street, was an undoubted case of arson. Their discoveries seem to show that deliber- ate and cold blooded attempt was made to burn the whole building. The police and fire departments are hard at work getting proofs and are also seeking MT. Heinrich, but to all appearances he has fled, some say to Detroit. 4 number of discoveries have been made in connection with the case which tend to strengthen the theory of arson. Fuses, bot ties of benzine, cotton saturated in benzine, firecrackers and waste paper, calculated to catch fire and spread the flames, were found scattered all over the building in a manner that pointed distinctly to arson.

 Daniel c. Chase, superintendent of the Delaware and Raritan Canal Towing com pany of the Pennsylvania railroad, whose tugs were towing the barges from Perth Amboy, Sunday, when they sank in the lower bay, said yesterday there were twenty-one barges missing.
 ATLANTIC CITY. N J., Nov. 27.-A great amount of property has been destroyed here, and it is thought that the total damage will exceed S1OO,oOO. Many pavilions and bath houses have been swept away, as has also about one mile of board walk The Half Way house, about one mile below the city, has been tipped over. Many families have lost all their effects. People who live near the beach have fled from their houses The meadows near the city are flooded, and the railroad tracks are completely submerged Trains have discontinued running. There are large piles of debris on the beach, and 1t is impossible to estimate the amount of dam age done on land and water.

THE K. OF L. CONVENTION.
Quinn Sustained-Powderly Says He Re
 grets His Reelection.


 grets His Reelection.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 27-Tn the general assembly, K. of L., the grievance committees had the floor all morning. The cases of D. A. 49, of New York, were disposed of. The delegation headed by James K. Quinn was decided to be the only proper one. In the case of the protest of the Massachusetts state assembly against certain locals of cigar. makers, which was, in fact, fight between the K. of L. and the Internationals the pro. test was sustained. A resolution asking fol an expression of the convention on the strike of the switchmen in this city was referred tc a committee
 MT. Powderly, in reply to a reporters question, stated that he was entirely satisfied with the general outcome of the convention and continued: 'The only thing I regret is that l am again placed at the head of the order Personally l am sorry for it, and ] honestly did not expect it. I might Fave stepped into a better thing. A position had been offered me which meant more money and less work In fact, the papers were drawn up and about ready to be sigei by which 1 would have received S6, ,0Ii i,r 0out three months work"
 Now that the work of the cOnvent ion i practically over the opinion is freriy ex pressed, as has been apparent all along turing the convention, that the result will be tn, inauguration of Powderly's policy. What ever MT Powderly has asked has been almos invariably granted by the assembly.

TELESCOPED AND BURNED.
Frightful Accident to Two Express
 in C,I

\ Frishtful Accident to Two Express
 Trains in Colorado.
 DENVER, Nov. 27.-The Rock Island com pany uses the Rio Grande track between Col orado Springs and Denver. The Salt Lake express from Denver, on the Rio Grande road, left Palmer's Lane eight minutes late, and was running down the Divide" thirty miles an hour, when, on turning a sharp curve mile south of Husted, the engineer saw the Rock Island express coming not more than 100 feet away.
 There was just time for the engineers and firemen of both trains to jump before the trains collided with terrific crash telescop- ing several cars and smashing them into q sha peless mass
 The stove in the Rio Grande baggage car set fire to the train, and three cars were con- stunned. The escape of the passengers from death seems marvellous.
 Two trainmen, w. H. Phillips, express messenger, and J. H. Milan, baggage master, both of Rock Island, were killed. Several trainmen were injured.
 The fault is attributed to the train dis patcher It is said that the conductor of the Rock Island train received orders at Colorado Springs giving him right of way to Denver, and that the conductor of the Rio Grande train received orders at Rurnham giving hm right of way to Colorado Springs.

Teemer Explains His Defeat.

McKEEsPoRT, Pa, Nov. 27.-'I defy any body to prove crookedness in Saturdays race" said John Teemer. 'At the start the buoy f1oated, and while myself, my judge and the janitor of the Columbia house were expostulating with the referee he gave the signal to start, giving O'Connor the best of the start by over a length However, I do not blame the referee, who was acting to the best of his ability. He should not have all lowed Rodgers to dictate, though. It wasn't the sore arm racket that caused my defeat either. However, I shall some day row O'Connor again, and I'll beat him, too" Teemer expects to sail for Australia on Dec IT.
