A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Fire on the Steamer City of Rich
mond.
A Passengers Tale of the Disaster,
as Told to a Reporter.

The steamer City of Richmond. of the
Portland, Mt. Desert and Machias line. had
a thrilling experience on her last trip, arriy
ing in Portland at $50 a. M, yesterday, in
stead Of IL p. M, Thursday. From the lips
of passenger, we are enabled to give the
full particulars of the occurrence.
The City Of Richmond was in the charge
of the first pilot, Capt. Dennison having laid
over for the trip. The steamer left Rock
land about 615 p. m. She had about one
hundred passengers, ladies and gentlemen,
and one-third were passengers for Boston
The night was fine, and our informant took
a seat in the bow to enjoy the sail. About s
o'clock cry of fire was heard, and rush of
steam and smoke came forward. MANY of
the passengers were in the forward part of
the boat, and the stewardess appeared with
her arms full of life preservers for them to
put on. showing them how to wear them.
The officers stated that a fire box under the
ooiier mad set fire to the boiler room, and adj
yised all who had any valuables in their
state rooms to secure them. An attempt on
the part OF our informant failed, for the
steam and smoke were so dense in the pas
sage way that the state rooms couldn't be
reached. In the meantime the crew had pre-
pared the life boats, and were playing on
the fire. The boiler, from the application of
the cold water, was cracked slightly, and
when the steam was wanted to call the Pc
nobscot, of the Boston line, to the aid of the
City of Richmond, there was only steam
enough left in the condenser to make three
calls. The Penobscot had left Rockland
only 10 minutes before the Richmond, and
had taken her course for Boston only few
moments before the Richmond shaped her
course for Portland She therefore heard
the whistles for aid and, within half an
hour, was within hailing distance. She
didn't dare to come nearer than hailing dis
lance on account Of the fire. She notified
the captain Of the Richmond she would lie
by to give assistance If needed The Rich
mond's passengers were also informed that
the land was but mile and quarter dis
tant. The crew behaved splendidly and
worked like beavers. The passengers were
as calm and collected as was possible under
the circumstances. After about an hour
hard work the flames were extinguished and
the Penobscot proceeded on her way, first
taking the Boston passengers from the
Richmond. Her officers also promised to
telegraph from Boston to the Maine Central
Company at Portland to send tugs to the
Richmond's assistance.
From 9 o'clock that night until a. m. YES
terday. the crew were engaged mending the
boiler, SO that steam, at the latter hour, was
got up and the boat slowly proceeded to
Portland reaching here as stated, at $50 a.
nj. After arrival here the steamer was
taken to the Portland Company's and the
boiler repaired substantially

PINE STREET CHURCH.
Rev. Theodore cerish Tenders His
Resignation.

A letter has been received by the official
board of Pine street church. 1t is with deep
regret that the society will part with Mr..
Gerrish for, even in the short time since his
appointment, his influence and power were
marked in the parish. This is the letter:
To the Official Board Of the Pine street N.
b. Church, Portland, Me-:
Dear Brothers-Five weeks have elapsed
since / came here at your earnest request to
regain my health. At that time l expected
that should be able to return and resume
my labors in September
During these weeks have had the best of
medical treatment and in some respects my
health has improved. But my physicians
now inform me that it will be impossible for
me to preach for several months at least.
They also inform me that must 60 to a less
rigorous climate before the cold weather
comes. The disease of thethroat from which
am suffering is the result of severe cold

that the warm summer weather would bring
relief. In this have been disappointed, and
/ now write to inform you to take the prop
er steps to secure pastor to fill the place
which i am obliged to vacate. When / re-
call the hearty reception you gave us; the
united and energetic manner in which you
entered upon the church work; the large and
increasing congregations the glorious social
meetings the Christian sympathy and kind
ness you displayed in unanimously voting

was restored, and the interest you have dis
played in the welfare of myself and family
since Them these all combine in contributing
to my great sorrow in sundering the rela-
lions which exist between us as pastor and
people. During the II years Of my ministry
have never served church where my re-
lations with the society were more pleasant
than with yours Could | resume my labors
tomorrow, there is no appointment in the
Methodist Episcopal Church that / would
prefer to Pine street.
There are many reasons why you should
not be discouraged. Your parsonage affords
beautiful home; your elegant church edi-
flee is finely located; your membership is un-
tied, devoted, heroic, ever displaying spirit
of self-sacrifce and generosity not excelled
by any church in New England. You are
respected in the community; new families
are joining your anks; no church in the con.

the business man that If he would step up
with him to house on Prospect street he
would give him his choice of one of two books

ushered into aroom where man was sitting
who had the books. He greeted the agent
with the remark that since he left he had
drawn 81, and, pulling out a big pile Of bills
gave him the money. He then told the busi-
nessman he had drawn $4,000, but he must
put up deposit before he took it away, and
gave as reason for the generosity displayed
that it was way the company had of adyer-
Using. Instead of the merchant saying he

then bringing policeman, he said he didn't
want any $1,000 and cleared out
