GRATEFUL FlREMEN,

The Ruggles Family Remembered for
Their Kindness.
When Fireman William j. Hunt fell from
the broken ladder at the great fire on the night
OF July 4th on Bush street and sustained in
1uries which cost him his life his unconscious
form was carried to the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. John E. Ruggles of 1925 Bush
street, where every possible attention was
paid to the wounded man. The kindness of
the Ruggles family to their injured comrade
fingered in the memory of the tiremen who
belonged to the same truck company as
Hunt. After Hunt was laid in his grave a
committee consisting of Firemen +. Becker,
r. Jones and William Barry was appointed
by the members of Truck No. to prepare a
testimonial for Mr. and Mrs Ruggles A
handsome set of resolutions was prepared
and signed by all the members of the COM
pany. These. accompanied by fine basket
OF flowers, were transmitted several days
ago TO the Ruggles family, the recipients
deeply feeling the grateful remembrance
and delicate compliment of the firemen.

OVERDUE SHIPS.
A List About Which Insurance
Men Feel Anxious.
Why Glasgow Coal Has Such Bad Reputa
tion as Risk-The Columbia River
Bar to Be Improved.

The holiday season is in full swing among
the underwriters, and business is ON all
hands reported dull, and little of note occur
ring.
The marine men have felt somewh hat
anxious about rather long string of over
due ships. and their chances of safe arrival
were the principal subject of discussion on
Change yesterday.
First among these is the City of Florence,
which is considerably overdue from Antwerp.
She was reinsured in London on Wednesday
at 10 per cent. but the local men would not
look at the business yesterday Under rate
of 20 per cent
The Sardomene, 1854 days out from Cal
cutta, is another delinquent. Some busl-
ness was done in this case yesterday, line
OF $500 being placed at 10 per cent.
Ten per cent is also being stood out for on
the cargo of Glasgow coal carried by the
Breidablick. 152 days from Glasgow. The
passage is not long enough to in itself
cause anxiety, but Glasgow coal has bad
reputation among insurance men on &C.
count of its intimmable qualities.
The uneasiness was not lessened by the
news received yesterday that the cargo of
the Dutch vessel khersonese Glasgow
coaD was on fire. She had, according to
previously received information, put into
Montevideo with her cargo shifted.
Still another overdue ship about which a
good deal Of anxiety rs being felt is the
Arabia, 155 days out from Baltimore.
The work of improving tile Columbia
River bar is being actively pushed forward
under the direction of Major Handbury.
In addition to the work of deepening the
water on the bar, which is being carried out
by the Government, matters are in train for
improving the condition of the river by
private enterprise. Meetings of prominent
citizens of Portland have been held
and committees to push the matter APP
pointed.
