tions ~ Fatal Fight Between Soldiers
and Sailors.
NEW York, Feb. 2G.-The British

The Cyral was lying at Manaos at the
time and scattered about the harbor

is the capital.
Among the gunboats at anchor on the

Der of her crew received shore leave

forcements from the arsenal and routed.
No shots were fired until the sailors
began their retreat, when three of them
were killed by the bullets. One soldier
was killed, making four in all known
by the officers of the Cyral to have died..

A WHIRLING MASS OF FIRE.
Horrible Death OF Young Coiorod
Woman In Philadelphia.


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 29.---With her
clothing ali ablaze, Susan Thomas,
young colored servant employed by
Mrs. Il. M. Maui of No. 1897 Pine
street, rushed into the parlor of the
house at noon yesterday, throwing the
whole household into excitement by her
cries Of anguish.
About noon Mrs. Maui heard the girl
singing merrily in tho kitchen. Sud
denly the song ceased, and was sue
ceeded by wild screams. Immediately
afterwards the girl rushed into the
parlor wrapped In flames and tearing
out whole strands of her blazing hair.
Her dress had caught fire while she was
raking out the smouldering ashes of the
range.
The entire family hurried to her aid,
but the girl had been rendered frantic
by pain and fright. Mrs. NJ. A. Langs-
troth, sister of Mrs. Maui, while at
tempting to extinguish the flames with
hearthrug, was badly burned about
the face and hands. Mrs. Maui herself
was thrown over a chair, and suffered
slight burns and sprained ankle Miss
Langtroth, niece, tried to wrestlc with
the girl, but was thrown down and
burned about the hands, while another
niece, Miss Heylin, suffered similarly.
Finally the girl escaped out of the
parlor into the hallway, shiieking atthc
top of her voice. She was making for
the street, when she was stopped by a
neighbor, Mr.. Cabcen, who threw his
overcoat around her, and after long
struggle succeeded in extinguishing the
FIRE.
A patrol wagon was called, and the
unfortunate woman removed to the
Polytechnic Hospital, where she relapsed
into insensibility, and died few
moments after her admission.
The family at No. 1877 Pine street are
utterly Frustrated, and nearly every one
is suffering from burns or bruises. The
parior where the struggle with the
burning girl took place is scene of
wreck and confusion, carpets and cur
tains being burned, and furniture over
turned and injured.
\ Susan Thomas was only "a years of
age, and was to have been married in q
short time.

oldest Steamboat in Tbi, Country.

The Marine journal says: The Gen.
Cadwalla1er is the oldest steamboat in
this country now running. She was
built by the Harlan & Hollings-
worth Company in 1916, and was the
fourth boat built by that company. She
is 1864 feet long, 90 feet beam, and 7
feet inches depth of hold, and was
originally side-wheel boat called the
William Whelldin, built for Captain
Whelldin for the line between Philadel-
phia and this city in connection with
the Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company. She continued on the line
until about 1867, when she was altered
into propeller, and bought by the
Ericsson Line for the route to Baltimore
where she has remained ever since A
few years ago she was entirely rebuilt
and her name changed to General Cad
wallader, and from all appearances she
has yet long term of service before she
will be laid aside. For q boat AZ years
old, she is indeed a wonder, and speaks
volumes for the way she was built, and
cannot but reflect much credit on the
workmanship of her builders, consider
ing that iron shipbuilding was then just
begun.

FINAL SEPARATION.
Secretary Blaine's statement goes on
and describes the last visit the young
wife made to Augusta. Mrs. Ncvins
accompanied her. lie says the elder
lady used such violent language toward
his wife, that Mrs. Blaine had to call in
q servant. This, he says, was the only
time Mrs. Blaine, ST., showed any ami
mostly toward her step-daughter, and
all because of the latter's stubbornness.
In closing his statement Secretary
Blaine says:
"Far be it from me to hold my son
blameless; though when his youth, his
uncompleted education, his separation
from the influences of home, the OK
change of life full of hopes and anticif
pations for premature causes and un-
congenial companionship are considered
l hold him more sinned against than
SHINING.
"But his mother at no time, in
thought, or word, or deed, attempted to
separate this man and his wife. On the
contrary she did not fail by lberality, by
consideration, and by extenuation 10
foster in every practicable way their
happincss-if happiness to them had
been possible"
