At first il was thought the fire started from
the fire doors on the boiler deck but 10 is
pretty certain now that the fire started in the
hold. Either a barrel of coal oil OF one OF var

The flames caught from the lanterns which the
men used in the hold and spread rapidly. For

The Man Who Used James @. Blaine, Jr q
Name.

Some days ago il was announced that bunco
man had used the name Of James q. Blaine, jr., in
writing Ithe Senators for money to be sent in
bills. This man, it appears, came very near
being entrapped in Philadelphia The officers
did not get wind of it soon enough and missed
only by an hour or two securing his arrest
He wrote to nearly every Senator simultane-
ously, supposing that out Of the whole number
by using the name Of Mr.. Blaine, jr., he could
secure one or two, but so far ~ can be learned
no one was victimized by him.

THE NEW CITY POST OFFICE.
Work of Driving the Test Piles to Commence
Next Week

Next Week.
The work on the foundation for the new city
post Office is in a most satisfactory condition.
The excavations, averaging depth Of about
seven feet have been completed ahead OF the
contract time. This morning the man who has
the contract for driving the test piles began the
work Of putting up the machinery, and as soon
as the wood for the piles reaches this cit, the
work Of putting them into the ground will
begin.
The object Of these test piles is to find out
the nature of the foundation. The rock
stratum which underlies the whole block is
superposed with layer of sand and gravel
and it is necessary to find out how much re-
sistance this will offer to the piling before the
actual work on the foundation can be started.
The first piles will probably be driven next
week.
