Steam Dredger Charleston on Fire.

Capt. f. o. Patterson, OF Belfast, master of the
new steam dredger Charleston. writes from
Charleston. ). C., under date Of july gth that he
arrived there July 18th. The steamer left New
York june 50th, and for twenty four hours had Il
fine run. At ten O'Clock on the evening of July
ist the steamer found to be on fire around the
boiler. The sea-coek was opened and three feet of
water let into the boat. one hour later the whole
forward end of the boat below decks, was in a
blaze. The fire pump was set at work, holes we've
cut through the deck and water was turned on. Is
was presently discovered that the wheel ropes
were burned of, ana the ruddcr was useless The
wind was blowing a moderate gale from the south
east The mate and three men put tackles on the
rudder, and taking the compass aft, managed to
stear the steamer. After lighting the fires for two
hours the men able to get below decks and
soon subdued the flames. The hose was kept on
and played every two hours ON the wood work
around the boiler
The boat was burned badly below, requiring
several new beams and braces around the boiler
Tie steamer went into dock and it win require ten
days to repair. The captain says he does not
again care to make Il pas sage of 600 miles at sea
with his vessel on fire
The steamer behaved splcndidly and is a line

are much pleased with the boat. Capt Patterson
says it will be the last of July before he fairly pets

Letter from San Franc SEQ.

Especial Core spomGence of the journal.
san FRANCISCO, July oh, 1891. Soon after
leaving Omaha we came into the district where
the rains hau washed away bridges. uprooted
the track and carried away not few houses
and other buildings. 1t is somewhat amusing
to read the different accounts of damage done
by the rain in the papers of various cities.
The dailles of Omaha and vicinity claim that
little damage has been done, and point out the
many blessings which are liable to follow the
inundation of the country. The press of
neighboring States on the contrary look At lie
matter in different light and take pains to
enumerate the many harmful effects which
must necessarily closely follow such deIuge.
The truth of the matter is so much twisted out
Of shape that people in the East receive but
few authentic farts concerning things which
have tendency to damage the region in which
