BURNED AT SEA.

Fate of the Steamer Abyssinia - The
 Passengers and Crew Rescued by
 the Steamer Spree - The Burning
 Vessel Abandoned.
 SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 22.-The North Ger man steamer Spree, with the passengers and crew of the burned steamer Abyssinia on board, arrived here late tonight. The passengers on the Abyssinia first heard of the fire last Friday afternoon. The steamer was then on fire at both ends. Four hours afterwards the Spree was sighted and was asked to take off the Abyssinia's passen- gers and crew. The Spree immediately sent boats to the rescue and all on board were safely transferred to the Spree, ex- cept one seaman, who jumped overheard and was drowned. As there was not the slightest chance of saving the Abyssinia she was abandoned, and the Spree pro- oeedsd. Perfect discipline was maintained aboard the Abyssinia, and there was no ex- citement among the passengers on the dis covery of the fire.
 Tho fire was discovered by the officers at noon Friday. The flames had then gained such headway that they soon spread over the whole vessel. The origin of the fire is unknown, but is attributed to spontaneous combustion in the cargo of cotton. All the Abyssinia's passengers were landed here,

 WA sH1NGToN, Dec. 22.-The United

 meeting here to-day in the lecture room

 well qualified chaplains, encouraging Sab
 bath observance, promoting temperance,
 multiplying libraries, reading rooms and gymnasiums and endeavoring to arouse the sentiment of the nation to sense of it's obligations to this class of citi- zens.

 weekly papers printed in all parts of this | country and in Europe to various army posts. Chaplain Nave spoke of gambling | in the army, and said it was the greatest | evil with which he had to contend. At | some posts there were orders against it, l nevertheless playing poker was indulged l in by both officers and men. Chaplain Fully expressed his deep regret at the great prevalence of this evil and said something should be done to correct it.

 ated Italian, in a Union Street Bar.
 room-His Assailant Arrested.
 At about g o'clock last evening Freder ick Trumbly, residing on Bradley street was stabbed in the knee in John Schmidt's saloon, 24 Union street, by an Italian, Carvin Sequer, and so badly wounded as to render necessary the services of a sur geon to dress his wound.
 According to Trumbly's story, he went into the saloon and had some slight alter. cation with the Italian, whereupon the Italian called him an approbrious name. Trumbly then left the saloon, followed by Sequer, and when both reached the side walk the quarrel was renewed. Hot words followed each other in quick succession. and Sequer drew a knife on Trumbly. Trumbly thereupon struck Sequer in the face, and the latter thereupon thrust the knife into Trumbly's right leg, just above the knee, inflicting wound an inch and half long and an inch deep.
 Trumbly walked to police headquarters and told his story and Officers Williams and Jarrett were detailed upon the case. The officers, accompanied by Trumbly, went to Schmidt's saloon on Union street, only to find that the man who did the stabbing had gone home. In the saloon, however, was found witness of the affray who knew where Sequer lived, and the off cers proceeded to No. 20 Union street, where they found Sequer in bed. He was thoroughly identified by Trumbly and al once placed under arrest and taken to po- lice headquarters and locked up. When the officers entered Sequer's room the knife with which he is supposed tc have committed the stabbing was found or the floor alongside the bed, where he had thrown it upon the entrance of the officers Officer Jarrett detected the movement and securing the knife, took it to headquar ters.
 Trumbly's wound was dressed at head quarters by Dr. c. w. Vishno.

A British Vessel Lest With All or
 Board.
 LONDON, Dec 22.-A boat marked Cav alier and number of pieces of new wood which evidently had not long been in the water, have been picked off the Scilly islands, and it is believed that the steamer Cavalier, which left Gibraltar December for Falmouth has been lost. The British steamer Indian Prince, Captain Forsyth, at Rotterdam, for New York, reports that on December IS, when sixteen miles from Bishop rock, she passed an abandoned English steamer. The seas were breaking over the derelict and the weather was too heavy to allow the Indian Prince to ap- proach near enough to make out her name. The details as to the abandoned vessels rig, her color and other matters tally exactly with the Cavalier, and it is the general belief that after the steamer was abandoned everybody who had been aboard of her was lost. The Cavalier was a British vessel of ,197 tons.
