Every soul was on deck, including the only
passengers, few cattlemen.
Orders were given for the opening Of the
matches. The smoke then poured forth
in dense volumes from the hold and was
permeated by fumes of pepper. Three
streams were directed through the smoke
but it was necessary to locate the fire, and
with this end in view the boatswain's mate
was lowered down the hold No sooner
was he in the smoke than it began to suf
focate him, and he was brought up to the
deck. Three times did he venture down,
and the last time he managed to reach a
ventilator, where he got breath of fresh
air.
In locating the fire he was compelled to
come on deck every few moments. He dis.
covered that the fire had taken in the
lower hold among bales of rags and jute
and general merchandise. In close prox-
unity were a number of barrels of oil, the
outsides Of which were already scorched.
Several bales of iute were shifted, and then
the fight proper with the fire began. Ev.

an anxious time, and for n while it was
feared that the ship was doomed to de-
struction
Under the guidance of Captain Ferguson
and Chief Officer Wright, who are said to
have directed everything with perfect com
posture, the fire was eventually mastered
but not till aftertwo and a half hours hard
fighting. Stored in No. hold, the furthest
forward on the ship, were twelve tons of
gunpowder. OF course, to reach this the
fire would have had to burn through several
bulkheads. Had it made much more head
way the hold would have been flooded by
letting in the water from the bottom of the
ship, but fortunately this was not neces
sary.--Montreal Cor. Toronto Mail.

She Meant Well

In enforcing the postal laws hundreds OF
cases are investigated by the postofice au-
thorities which are not brought to the at
tenton of the courts, and in which no pun
ishment is asked for. There have been
| technical attractions of the law, but with
out guilty intention upon the part of the
violators.
Such case was settled by Mr.. George 8.
Evans, the postoflice inspector in charge at
the Federal building. Nobody was injured
in the transaction, and the delinquents in
the matter freely acknowledged their graft.
tude fer the iGdicious way III which the
case was managed.
One of the largest corporations of Bos-
ton has frequent occasion to send notices
to stockholders and directors and circulars
to customers. They are almost always in
print, and being put in an unsealed envel
ope require only one cent stamp.
A large lot of notices were sent out a day
or two ago. The secretary ordered suffi.
Gent number from the printer, and when
the lot arrived handed them to a lady
clerk, with instructions to be sure and
mail them that night to the gentlemen
whose names and addresses were contained
upon a list which he furnished her. lie
went away before her work was completed
The lady wrote the directions on all her
envelopes, and then began to fold in the
circular letters. She found the printer had
fallen short of the required number, and
that she needed twenty more. She had re-
ceived positive orders toget the whole num-
Der into the mail that night, and not know
ing the law, or being forgetful of it for the
moment, she wrote out a sufficient number
of notices to fill the bill, folded them into
her envelopes, and, leaving them unsealed,
put one cent stamp on each, rs she had
on all the others.
BY the merest accident one of the written
documents was discovered by postoflice
employe, and, as in duty bound under the
law, he made an examination of the whole
batch and found that twenty of the en-.
velopes should have had a two cent stamp
letter postage.
An attempt to evade postage-or defraud
the postal rcvenues-is punishable as
criminal offense under the statutes of the
United States, The case by necessity was
reported to Mr. Evans and he made an in
vestigation. When he discovered that the
facts were rs stated here he declined to
make any case for prosecution, and simply
asked that the corporation pay to the gov.
eminent the amount OF the postage due
