A FLOATING FURNACE
The Cargo of the British Ship
Iverna on Fire.
Narrow Escape of the Vessel From Destruction.
Fighting Fire in the Hold-The
Flames Subdued.

While the men at work unloading the ship
Iyerna. lying at Harrison-street Wharf,
were taking off the matches of the lower
hold on Tuesday afternoon. which is filled
with coal, they noticed that the hold was
hotter thaB it should be.
The matter was reported to Captain john
ston, who at once ordered an investigation
and the coal in the lower hold was found to
be very hot. Captain Metcalf was sent for,
and although there was no sign OF fire at
the time he advised the captain of the YES
sci to notify the Fire Department.
This was done and line OF hose was lett
on board the ship in case it was found
necessary. A gang of men were at once set
yesterday afternoon the cargo was found to
to be ON fire.
WORKING IN A FURNACE.
The men worked like beavers in spite OF
the heat. which was growing greater every
moment There was very little smoke, or the
men would have been driven out of the
ships hold. BY o'clock last evening about
eighty tons lad been got out Of the vessel
fresh gang of men went to work at $50
o'clock and the fire was located soon after.
The hose was stretched and stream of
water poured on the burning cargo for some
time. The coal was so hot when the men
went to work again that coke hooks had to
be used in order to dig down into the fiery
mass. In short time the fire was uncovered
and it was found that the ship had furnace
in her hold.
MORE WATER POURED IN.
Again the water was turned on and
clouds of steam arose FROM the burning mass
of coal now fercely blazing. By s o'clock
the fire was again under control and the
men were put to work once more. Tue after
tub of the coal came up from the ships
hold all ablaze, and water was poured on it
through the hose.
At 10 O'Clock the heat in the vessels hold
became so great that the men had to come on
deck, and water was played on the cargo
then hauled alongside the ship and soon
after the men were glad to see the last of the
burning coal out of the ship.
The captain gave orders for half of the
crew to remain on watch with the hose
ready in case the fire again broke out.

ceeded to Wellington and read the Riot Act

professions, giving them one hour to dis
perse The men availed themselves of this
time to again march, but dispersed before
the expiration of the time specified.
When the case of the sixteen Wellington
miners, charged with intimidating work
men, was resumed to-day, the attorney for
the defense asked for continuance. The
question of bail came up. and Judge Cole
said if the defendants would promise not to
take any further part in professions and
would use all their influence to stop them
the matter might be arranged. The At
torney-General was of the opinion that this
would not stop the professions. He was de-
termined to stop them if every man who
participated in them had to be arrested. The
law had been delied for some time and must
now be upheld. He had sufficient force to
stop the labor professions and would GER
tainly do so. He decidedly objected to the
defendants being released on bail The At
torney-General also stated he had prepared
another Information charging the PENDANTS
with onspiracy. The case was then post
pOned until Saturday.

of artistic execution. He is careful, pains

may owe to an intelligent course

upspringing to genins. Mr.. Brandt is de-
cidedly versatile in his accomplishment. He
is the exponent of the highest grade of
severely classical music and yet so completely
is he master Of his instrument and his art that
he can strike the key note of the mirthful
dance and never lose the pitch. Not long
since at a concert given by II fellow
musician and composer of more than
local note-Mr. II. B. Pasmore-Mr.
Brandt played BeethOven's "Kreut-
ger Sonata" This was its first
rendition in San Francisco. Nor is it on
record that Noah Brandt has ever once
failed to Justify the high expectations con-
corning his playing. AS a musician Mr..
Brandt suffers by no comparison that may
be made In private and social lie he is
gentleman pleasant 10 meet, delightful to
entertain, and in every way an addition to
the company. His advent in musical circles
has done much to break up system that
was full of annoyance and the cause of
much irritation to both hostess and guests.
