An ANNEX TAKES FIRE.
She Had Just Started With
a Crowd Bound for
COney Island.
THE DAMAGE NOT LARGE.
A Party Of Colored Excursionists
Suffer Great Fright, and Almost
Lose Their Heads.

A fire broke out on the Annex boat.
which carries passengers from Jersey
City to the Coney Island boats in New
York, this afternoon, but fortunately was
extinguished before any damage was
done. The boat was the Charles Sill, and
1t was about to proceed to New York to
meet the Coney Island boat which leaves
Pier at o'clock.
There were but few passengers ON
board. A lady and gentleman were the
sole occupants of the main deck, while on
the deck above were lady and gentle
man, several children and party of col
ored folks.
The gang plank was cast off, the engine
were started and the boat had just backed
clear of the wharf, when smoke. accom-
panied by an odor of burning oil, rolled
out of the engine room.
A cry Immediately rose that the boat
was on fire and at once the colored women
commenced to scream and act as though
they had lost their heads.
The engineer and pilot, however, stuck
to their posts and soon run the nose of the
boat up to the Adams Express pier.
The passengers on the lower deck
rushed through the smoke which was
pouring from the engine room, and
reached the pier in safety. The colored
people were helped by the employees OF
the Express Company to their pier, where
they kept up their screaming and dane
ing.
An alarm was quickly sent to the Penn
| sylvania fire department, and the chemi-
cal engine, under command of ex-Com-
missioner John Brennan, was soon on the
| spot. A line was quickly run into the
engine room and the fire was soon extin-
| guished.
The whistles of the ferry boats soon
brought the Pennsylvania fire tugs to the
scene, but their services were not re-
auired The fire originated from SONS
waste coming incontact with the fire box.

LONDON'S GREAT STRIKE.
Rumor That the Employers Have Yielded |
--Good for Germany.
By Gable to the United Press

BY CUOte 10 HtS Cfttte0 L IeSS.
LONDON, August 2S, 1SS9.-The wharf
ingers, shippers and merchants are press
ing the dock companies to yield to the
strikers. They declare that the dock
companies, by their action, are driving
trade to other ports.
The companies complain of the pressure
that is being brought upon them to reeede
firm their position and their representa-
tives promise to answer those that are inn
portuning them to settle with the men
later.
There are more at work today than at
any time since the strike was inaugurated.
The mail steamers are being loaded
slowly. The tea car men have resumed
work The prospects for a settlement are
more hopeful Several ships with cargoes
of sugar are lying in the Thames and at
Greenock.
The sugar was all brought up today in
fifteen minutes at sixpence advance and
sent by train to London.
At three p. M. a rumor prevails that the
dock companies have conceded the de-
mands of the strikers.
BERLIN, August 2S, 1SS9.-There was a
general rise ON the Bourse here today in
coal and iron mining shares caused by
belief that the laborers' strike in London
will result in a general rise in wages
throughout England, which would be
detrimental to English commercial inter
ests with foreign markets

CAMPBELL NOMINATED.
A Strong, Compactly Built Platform
Adopted by Ohio Democrats.

A Strong, Compactly Built Platform
Adopted by Ohio Democrats.
DAYTON, o., August 2s, S9-The
Democratic State Convention met in the
Skating Rink at twenty minutes past ten
this morning, and was called to order by
Mr.. Norton, of Seneca chairman of the
State Central Committee. Mr.. Norton,
after congratulatory remarks to the con
vention, gave Governor Foraker terrible
lashing.
This eloquent but severe Arrangement
of Foraker was received with lively salts
faction This speakers reference to
Grover Cleveland ELECTED the most hearty
cheering, which WIS kept up for some
time.
The following is the platform adopted
by the Convention,
/. The Democracy of Ohio in Convention as
sembled approve the declaration of principles
made by the National Democracy in ST. Louis in
lSss and especially that part Of it demanding
reduction of tariff taxes. We will continue the
battle for tariff reform until the cause OF the
people is triumphant.
3. We regard trusts in whatever form organ
lied, as the legitimate result of our present
tariff system, and we demand the repeal of all
tariff taxes that enable them to extort from the
people exorbitant prices for the products they
control.
3. We again acknowledge the great debt of
gratitude InS natlOn owes TO tne heroes or the
late war; and we declare in favor of just, liberal
and equitable pension laws.
d. We denounce the Republican administra-
tion for its repeated violation of its pledges in
behalf of Civil Service Reform
8. We denounce the present State administra-
ton as the most partisan, demoralizng and ex-
travagant in our history. We invite the careful
investigation of all citizens into our financial
affairs, as shown by our official records.
g. We protest against the repeated enactment
of laws vesting the, appointing power in the
Governor enabling him to control the local
boards of our leading cities. While depriving
them of self government, it constructs vast
political machine that is at all times dangerous
and, in the hands of partisan chief executive,
has become a positive menace to the people OF
the State.
The nomination of the Governor of Ohio for
third term, in violation of all precedent by the
notorious and dsgraceful use of patronage at
his command, is an outrage against the people,
and should be rebuked at the polls
We heartily favor Home Rule IN Ireland, and
we demand it also for Ohio While favoring all
laws that sacredly protect the ballot box and the
honest voter we demand the enactment of laws
that will enable our cities to choose their own
servants and control their own affairs
JOHN A. MCMAHON Chairman
G. C. Cook, Secretary.
After the platform came the nomina-
tions.
James E. Campbell, of Cincinnati, and
Virgil p. Kline, of Cleveland, have been
put in the race.
Campbell was nominated on the second
ballot

property owners. 1t is not that they OBJ
ject to the repaving of the street. but they
claim that the only sort of pavement that
can meet the requirements of the .specifi-
cations as advertised is what is now
known as the iron block, composition:
These gentlemen say that the size OF
these blocks would prevent any competl-
ton, and demand that the advertisement
be so changed that it will permit bidders
to supply trap rock. This, it is said, is
cheaper and better than the iron block,
because it will be necessary to concrete
the street before the iron blocks can be
laid. They claim, too, that it will cost
50, 900 to do the paving, and that that Will
pretty nearly exhaust the license money
that can be devoted to street improve

Him from His Folly.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August 2s, 1885,
Mr.. Hamilton, in talking with q friend
last night, admitted that he was terribly
depressed by Mondays tragic occurrence.
The whole tenor of his conversation indi-
Gates that he is completely infatuated
with his wife, and that nothing in the
world could induce him to desert her.
He did not, however, respond to his
wife's good bye as she was led from the
court room yesterday morning. 1t is be-
lieved that he will remove with his baby
can pay daily visits to the Jail.
Another attempt will be made today to
take the ante-mortem statement of the
nurse. The officers regard her as the
most horribly profane woman they have
ever come into contact with, and so far
have had little success in getting con-
nected statement from her.

watching his kite and became so absorbed
in his sport that he did not notice how dan

finally backed off.
He was picked up and carried into the
house, where he was attended by DR..
Craig.

John McAllister, of No. 523 First
street, and John Hennigan, of No. 22O
East Forty-seventh street, New York,
were arraigned before Justice Stilsing
this morning under the disorderly act.
Policeman Gallagher met them on New
ark avenue at three o'clock this morning,
and their answers to his questions were
SO contradictory that the policeman ar
rested them.
McAllister Indignantly denied that he
belonged to the -Four Hundred, and said
that he came over with butcher to help
carry quarter of beef.
''Oh, no; that won't do" said the just
ice, who is himself a butcher You
never saw two men carry quarter of
beef, unless they were shoemakers.
This break seemed to settle the young
mems case, and they were remanded.
