BURNED AT SEA.
The Steamer Abyssinia Lost Crew and
Passengers Saved.


Passengers Saved.
LONDON, Dec. 22.-The steamship
Abyssinia, of the Guion line, which
sailed from New York December 18th
for Liverpool, was burned at sea. She
carried eighteen cabin and thirty-eight
steerage passengers and crew of eighty
men. All on board were saved. The
Abyssinia was valued at 100000 and
carried valuable cargo of me- chandise,
but what it was worth cannot be aecer-
tanned yet. She was an iron, bark rugged
screw steamer OF 1851 tons gross, and
was built originally for the Cunard line.
For the past five years she had been
running between Vancouver, B. c., and
Hong Kong as one OF the Canadian Pa
ciIic line steamers, and this was her first
regular trip for the Guion line since
then. She arrived in this port last
September from Hong Kong with a
cargo of teas.

NEW YORK, May ia most disas-
trous fire visited the wholesale grocery
house of Francis H. Leggett q Co., at
the junction of Varick, Franklin and
West Broadway yesterday. After three
hours of hard work the fire was gotten
under control, but the immense stock
of groceries in the building was almost
a complete wreck, and the building was
badly damaged. The damage to the
stock is estimated at $400, 900, while the
building was damaged to the extent of
100000. The stock was insured for $780,
600, but the insurance on the building
could not be learned. A portion of the
roof on West Broadway fell on the .ele-
waited railroad structure, which passes
through that thu roughfare, breaking the
guard rails and ties like pipe stems.
Half dozen firemen were fighting the
FIRE from the structure, but they re-
ceived warning in time to escape with
out injury. Traffic on the elevated rail
road was blocked for many hours.

BoOKMAKING TO BE SEPARATE

."Inside Tips" Given Out That There
Will Not BE Any Indictments-Not
Afraid of the Grand Jury-Betting
Booths to Be Vacant and the
Gambling to Be Done by Telegraph.
PHILADELPHIA, May II. = "Billy"
Thompson, regardless of the fact that
the grand jury is now sitting in Cam
den county, has completed arrange
ments for the early opening of the track
Of ''the South Jersey Jockey Club at
Gloucester. This is authentic. 1t is
largely based on the belief that Thomp-
sons pull is sufficient to prevent his
Indictment by the grand jury. Betting
men and x-bookmakers, ever since the
names OF the grand jurors were printed,
have been giving it out that they have a
straight" inside tip. that no indict-
ment will be found.
The Telegraph Scheme.
Thompson's new plan is not original,
because rUce tracks in varions portions
of the country have been run in the
same way during times when efforts
were made to break them up. He will
not allow the booths to be occupied by
boolinakers. There will be no public
boohmaking within the inclosure. In
stead there will be about twenty tele-
graph instruments connected with leased
wires. Each instrument will pay
Thompson $40 day. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that each booknaker "out-
side" located in Gloucester City,
Atlantic City or elsewhere), will have
one Of these special wires, and some
further revenue than the SO tax on each
instrument will go to Thompson from
the bookmakers. They expect to do
big country trade in the towns through
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Della
ware.
Atlantic City will be a great head
quarters for the bookmakers Quite
number Of them are looking forward to
spending the summer here. At Allan
tic everything has been allowed, and
this state of affairs is expected to con-
tinue.
The Postal Telegraph company has
just made arrangements to put ticlers
in nearly all the leading Atlantic City
hotels and restaurants. Over these
tickers the boolnnakers will get the re-
suit of the races, Just as a number of
them get the result at Guttenburg now
in a leading and popular down town
restaurant, which is mnch frequented
by bankers and business men.

hibition Ever Held.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Worlds
Columbian exhibition at Chicago bids
fair to be the greatest exhibition ever
held in any country, a greater event
than that of the Paris e. p 'sition of 1889.
Advices also received at the bureau of
American republics here attest q re-
markable and astonishing interest in the
exposition on the part, not only Of the
South American republics, but conti-
mental Europe, China and Japan, as
well. Every country on this continent
to the Argentine republic, has been
heard from, and are making great prep
arations to place exhibits at Chicago.
In Europe Great Britain has already
appointed commission, with the prince
of Wales at the head of it, TO prepare q
wonderful exhibit for. the fair. The
Russian government has set apart two
millions and q half. and leading mer-
chants and manufacturers of st. Peters
burg and Moscow are pledged for SO
much more, for sending here the great
est, most diversified and novel exhibit
ever collected by single government.
Germany will be present with won
derfnl display, and France has given as
surance Of bringing great exhibit.
On this continent Mexico will probably
lead her sister republics in size and di-
versity of display, and has appropriated
81 100000 to do so. Mexico, Columbia,
Guatemala, Salvador and Costa Rica
will erect their own buildings at the
fair, and Barbados, Jamaica and the
other British West Indian station pro-
pose to place the exhibit in a typical
building, erected by themselves, to be
gether, and already, although tho open
ing of the exposition is two years hence,
the assurances are complete for one of
the greatest exhibitions the world has
ever seen
