SURROUNDED BY FIRE.
The boy Who stood on the Burn
ing Deck OutiOne.

New BEDFORD, Mass, April 11.-The
steamer "City of Fitchburg," " of the Old
Colony steamship company, which ar
rrived from New York Yesterday morn
ing, was seriously damaged at her dock
this morning. When the matches were
opened the deck hands encountered n
mass of flames and smoke. The entire
forward hold. LOADED with cotton and
grain, was in flames which spread aft,
around both sides of the engine room and
into the afterhold where the mlscella-
neous merchandise was loaded. Working
its way to the upper deck, it gutted the
forward saloon and the officers rooms.
The officers lost nearly all their personal
effects. The crews quarters on the after
part of this deck were also damaged and
the men lost much of their property.
Two streams were poured i'll from the
wharf hydrants and nine streams from
the fire engines. Besides this the as
sistant engineer, Thomas Emerson, was
sticking at his pumps on the Fitchburg,
surrounded by burning freight and show
cred with burning embers. All escape
was cut off, and well nigh suffocated. yet
stuffing his wet handkerchief in his face
he remained at his post till the blaze was
extnguishcd. Two tugs also sent in theil
powerful streams of salt water.
Freight on the warf was rapidly re
moved and much of the steamers cargo
was thrown overheard and picked VI
unnjured, except by the water. Th'
flames ragged two hours, but finally sue
cumbed after hard struggle. Th
steamer is insured and it is thought he
cargo is also.

Well as Republicans.

STATEsvILLE, n. c., April 9.-At the
joint discussion between Robbins and
Butler here today 1000 or 5000 peo-
pie were present and gave both speak
ers patient and courteous hearing. Al
li1rcc nen from Catawba, Rowan and
other adjoining counties were present III
large numbers and were liberal in ap-
pause for Mr.. Butler, but the radicals
and the negroes present also manifested
their delight. Maj. Robbins made an
able and convincing argument against
the sub-treasury plan, the government
ownership of railways, and was espec-
tally strong against the plan to pay the
federal soldiers over again as demanded
by the St. Louis convention. He de-
nounced the conspiracy of Polk, Butler
and others to lead the alliance democrats
into the third party. He made an elo-
quent plea for democratic supremacy
and unity which was applauded by all.
Mr.. Butler started out by saying that
he was not going to make an alliance
speech, but was simply going to reply to
Mr.. Robbins. He denounced the two
old parties with great impartiality, de-
nounced Cleveland, denounced Hill and,
though he was asked the question three
or four times if he would support the
nominee of the Chicago convention, he
lodged it every time. The first time the
question was put he answered it by ask

NEAR BOSTON.
Nine Persons Lose Their Lives
Through the CapsizIng of IA Sail
Boat During a Squall-Eight OF
Them Were Boys.


BosToN. April 11.-Last evening an
instructor and ten boys connected with
the Boston farm school at Thompson
Island capsized in a sail boat and the
instructor and eight of the boys were
drowned.
The instructor had been to the city
during the day to attend church, and
ten boys, constituting the regular crew
of the school, left the Island at 6:30 to
sail to City Point to convey the instruc-
tor to the Island. The boat was con
sidered perfectly safe under ordinary cir
cumstanccs.
The boat started on the return trip at
p. m. At a point supposed to be be-
tween Spectacle island, and Thompson
island, the boat was struck by squall
and Immediately capszed. The eleven
occupants were thrown into the ice cold
water, but being accustomed to strict
discipline and exercise of heroism in
school, they all secured positions where
they could cling to the overturned craft,
and then began long wait for the res
cue which, to most of them, was never
to come.
According to the testimony of the two
survivors they encouraged each other
by words of cheer. and occasionally
shouting in hope that they might be
heard by some one on the shore. At one
time tug was seen in the distance and
they shouted with all their remaining
strength, but could not attract atten'
ton. The night was cold and the shores
and wharves were abandoned.
When the time for the boat to return
to the Island had passed, the superin-
tendent of the school. Chas H. Bradley,
went to the beach to scan the waters
to City Point, but he saw nothing. The
survivors say they saw his form patrol.

come, but it did not. Finally the chill o.

keep their heads upon the surface over

they were compelled to relinquish theii
hold. The instructor was the first to go

The Next Reunion of COnfeder
ate Veterans.

New ORLEANS, April 11.-The ova-
tion to the confederates Saturday has
scarcely, if ever, been equalled in the
south, or in the country. Immense
crowds blocked the streets along the
line of march and the galleries and WIN
dows of all the houses were filled with
men, women or children waving hand
kerchiefs and shouting all along the line.
General Gordon rode with uncovered
head nearly the entire route, but the
crowning incident of the parade occurred
at the grand stand, where he took his
position to view the veterans. AS his
command came up many of the men
broke ranks and rushed up to grasp his
hand.
The ways and means for the erection
of the Davis monument was left to a
committee. one to be appointed from
each state. General John B. Gordon,
commander-in, chief, and all the officers
were rejected. The date for the conven.
tion at birmingham, Ala, was left to
the commander i'll chief to appoint and
the meeting then adjourned.
