RETURN OF THE BALTIMORE.
Her Trial Reported Entirely Satistac-
tory by Her Commander.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Sept. 15.-The new
steel cruiser Baltimore, which left her dock
at Cramps shipyard Wednesday last and
proceeded down the Delaware river as far
as Delaware breakwater, returned this
afternoon. A broom fastened to the fore
mast and another to the mainmast, were
public evidence of the success obtained by
the builders of the vessel. Her commander,
Capt. Schley. said that the trip was en-
tirely successful, and that the engines were
all right and worked admirably. The YES
sci went so or 80 miles out, and is beauti-
full sailer. "You can be perfectly confident
in saying that she is the fastest man-of-war
afloat"
Another officer stated that the Baltimore
left last Wednesday and anchored off the
Ship John light, the weather being too
rough for her trial.
A PRELIMINARY TRIAL.
On Friday morning a preliminary trial
was had and on Saturday, she went out for
her regular official four hours trial
under the command of Capt. Jo-
seph Steel. All tie data and indi-
catoc cards were taken every fifteen
minutes from both ends of every cylinder
on the ship, which made for three hours an
average Of about 20.2 knots an hour in a
pretty good sea. Many of the people on
board thought she was making better time,
but allowing for all errors in calculation,
the log lines, etc., she is believed to have
made 20.2 knots.
THE FASTEST WAR SHIP AFLoAT.
The trial indicates, it is said, that she is
the fastest vessel of any ship of her ton
mage adoat, and the fastest man-of-war of
any country. The Baltimore ran straight
ahead all the time. There was nothing
from the time she left her dock until her re-
turn that occasioned any stopping. It isalso
stated that the Baltimore will probably go
more than 10000 horsepower, and as 5000
horse power is the amount contracted for,
it viii, in case this be true, give the Cramps
a bonus of at least LOCO horsepower. 1t
will be two or three weeks before the cal
culations to be made by the Uni ed States
officials will be completed and made public

Old Sports in Boston Say he Gould as
Well be Ashamed Of Congress.
Boston, Sept. 14.--John L. Sullivan's
decision to go to congress has long been
known TO the sporting men Of this city. His
political ambition dates back TO the time
when Tom Denny was member of COM
mon council from ward twelve. When he
finally made up his miud to enter politics.
his friend Denny had passed over to the
great majority, aud SulliYan's ambition for
several years was smoldoring.
Councilman William j. Malone has long
been friehd Of the champion, and when
asked what reason Sullivan had for going to
congress, said: ''Well, Sullivan ia an
American citizen, and If he so chooses he
has a perfect right to try for an Office with
in the gift of the people. 1t Is a laudable
ambition to serve his constituents. IL
no more reason to be ashamed OF him than
John would to feel ashamed OF congress.
a season at the capital would just about be
rich enough for his blood"
Patsy Shepard was the one sporting man
who hardly believed Sullivan was serious
Patsy did not see just why John wanted TO
60 to congress at present. HE should
travel for the next few years, make a bar
rel Of money, then try for political honors.n .
Tom Drohan was giving lessons to a
clergyman VINO has become very well
known Of late. He took the gloves off long
enough to tell that Sullivan would make a
first-class congressman; he Is just the sort
of man we want. / am for Sullivan first,

Isaac O'Neil Weis was not in favor Of

me Clyde Steamship Company's
Warehouse Destroyed.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Sept. 15.-At
O'Clock tonight fire broke out in the i'm
mense warehouse of the CLYDE Steamship
Company, on the pier at the foot of Hogan
street. Fifteen minutes before the night
watchman had been inside the
building and left everything all
right He sat down on the edge of the
pier to get the cool river breeze, and had
hardly done SO when flames showed through
q window on the Bay street side of the
warehouse, and an alarm was instantly
rung IN from the Hogan street box. The
watchman dashed into the building in order
70 secure the record books and other articles
OF value but the fire drove him out.
OIL FOR THE FLAMES.
A lot OF lubricating and Illuminating oil
was stored near the Office, and spontaneous
combustion was undoubtedly the cause of
the ire. 1t is said also that a lot of gasoline
was stored in this pile. The opening of the
doors sent a strong current OF air through
the long warehouse, aud the flames spread
with remarkable rapidity to the extreme
west END Of the structure. The firemen re-
sponded promptly, and went to work with
a VIII. The building was of Florida pine
front, with corrugated iron sides and a roof
about l6Ox75 feet in size. 1t stood upon
plllng almost entirely surrounded by water,
with only narrow passage between it and

and freight shed of the Florida, Central
and Pacific railroad stand near by, aud also

Under these conditions the Nremen
worked at disadvantage, being unable to
approach very near the building except at
the ends. 1t took whole hour to get the
fire under control, and at the end of this
time the Clyde warehouse was in ruins. but
the adjacent structures had all been saved
There was very little freight in the house

OIL and small amount of miscellaneous
freight were destroyed The loss does not
exceed $4,000. The value of the ware
house was about S., 000 1t was fully covered
by insurance. Fortunately the steamer Cher
oKee had not arrived or she too might have
been destroyed. A fresh breeze was blow

the whole adjacent water front buildings
were doomed. Three fremen fell overboar,!

emigrant train on the Norfolk and Western
railway was wrecked early this morning
about four miles below the city. The train
was special, and was running ahead of
the regular passenger train about twenty
minutes. The wreck was caused by
small bridge giving away after the engine
and baggage car had passed over it. The
water in the creek was very high, caused
by the heaviest rain almost ever known in
this section. The emigrants numbered 160

Two cars plunged into tho creek, and,
strange to say, no one was killed, and but
fifteen or twenty hurt-one seriously. The
first car that went down turned completely

pendicular. All the passengers were badly
shaken up, but when brought here Elder

that none were crippled, and all would
proceed on their journey as soon as the
train could be made up. There were MAE
