STEAMER ON FIRE.
The Roanoke Arrives in New York
Burning FierceIy.

NEW YORK, May 21.-The steamship
Roanoke, of the Old Dominion line,
backed into her dock, Pier 26, at the
foot of Beach street, at o'clock tonight
with fire burning hercely in her hold.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon, as the
steamship was passing Long Branch,
smoke was seen issuing from her
shaft tube and an investigation showed
that the vessel was afre. Capt. John
q. Hulters and his officers went to the
passengers and quietly Informed them
that there was a fire smouldering in
some cotton slowed In the after hold of
the ship, but that there was not the
least danger, and even if there was. the
TsSelWaS Sc near to land that every
little difficulty.
The seventy-fve passengers behaved
ssdp.Irabiy under the circumstances,
mot one OF them, according to the pur
s5er's story, even taking the trouble to
pack valise. When the vessel reached
quarantine, Capt. Hulters reported the
fire and started on up to the pier. Word
was telegraphed from quarantine to
Fire Chief Bonner, Of this city, and
when the vessel arrived the firebOat
New Yorker was lying off the pier to
meet her, and Chief Bonner and truck
company were on the pier ready to
render assistance. 1t was found that
the matches opening into the after
hold were covered in with freight, which
would have to be removed before the
New Yorker could pour stream on the
/ fire. a hundred men were set to work
unloading freight, and the New Yorker
/ lay alongside the steamer ready to turn

could be opened. The steamer left

SAGINAW, Mich, May 21.-The bound
aries of the fire yesterday, as described
in these dispatches last night, were sub
stantially correct. 1t started in Sample
Il Camps mill plant, thence communi-
Gated to the eastern end of the Bristol
street bridge, thence northeast from the
corner of Tilden and Bristol streets for
distance of mile in length and four
and five blocks in width. The scene was
one of in6escribable excitement, people
becoming frenzled in their desire to re-
move their household effects from the
devouring element. which rushed madly
on its journey of destruction, burning
everything in its path. Strong hands
Eand willing hearts rallied to the aid of
those whose homes were in danger.
4 Drays, delivery, wood, Ice and coal
hwagons, buggies, hand-carts, cabs and
everything in the shape of vehicle
were
Pressed Into Service
to move household goods beyond the
reach Of the fire. Vehicles loaded with
household goods drawn by horses on a
frantic run were rushing in all direc-
tionS to places beyond the reach of the
devastating flames, and vacant lots were
soon occupied by household goods. In
many instances these precautions were
unavailing, as property, after being re-
moved to supposed places Of safety, was
found by the fire and destroyed. All
the hacks in the city were pressed
into service to remove invalids, old peo-
pie, ladies and children to places of
safety, and the scene was one which no
description can do justice to, and which
will be long remembered by those who
witnessed it. Many people became
frightened without cause and removed
their furniture. only to have the trouble
of moving it back when all danger had
passed. The body of the man supposed
to be John Clark. who perished, was
identified this morning as Robert Tur-
ner, aged eighty-nine years.
He Was Feeble
and resided with his daughter. Mrs.
Charles Holland, and when the house of
the latter burned, wandered away and
was found burned to crisp. Clark is
still unaccounted for. There are scores
of instances in which entire families
lost all their effects except the clothing
on their backs. There will be some
destltution, but the majority of the
losses are sustained by peo-
pie in comfortable circumstances.
Prominent citizens met at the
club house this evening. at which d
plan was formulated for the people of
Saginaw to take care of all the needy
ones, and no appeal will be made for
outside aid. A close estimate places
the number of buildings destroyed at
275 and the total loss sustained 100000.
Two of the agents of insurance COM
panies holding risks have not yet made
out lists of losses of individual COM
panies, and it impossible yet to give
correct list of the companies repre-
sented. The total insurance will ag-
gregate about 100000.

The President Takes a Part

New YORK. May 21.-The World this
morning in its editorial page prints the
following i'll double-leaded type from
its Washington correspondent:
The presidents civil service policy
has not changed since it was announced
in the World on Saturday, May l3. A
report to the contrary was invented by
aneWspaper openly hostile to Mr. Cleve-
land, and really antagonistic to the
Democratic party. Mr.. Cleveland has
no intention of refusing to make APP
pointments for political reasons. lie
will not make removals for political
reasons, unless off ensiVe partisanship is
charged and proved. He will make
and countenance, however, a good
many removals, and every vacancy
thus made will be filled by Demo
crat. Mr. Cleveland in his last admin
istration experienced great trouble from
the partisanship of bureau and dlyis-
ion chiefs. Men whom he had retained
III office did their utmost to embarrasS
his administration. They were willing
to risk their places for the purpose Of
discrediting the Democratic administra-
ton. They were not civil service re-
formers. They were spoilsmen, ap-
pointed for partisan reasons under the
spoils system. They hoped fer prefer
ment and promotion by aiding the re-
turn of Republican president. Some
of these men were i'll office when Mr..
Cleveland returned to Washington. A
few of them have been dismissed and
others will be. There is to be great
reform of this kind in the service. 1t is
based on sound business principles. The
president and the members of his cabi-
net are determined to have subordi-
mates on whom they can rely in
confidential positions. Mr.. Cleveland
has not yet considered any changes in
the civil service rules. That may come
later, but no such intention as has been
attributed to Mr.. Cleveland, of putting
all minor appointments under COM
mission and establishing a permanent
tenure, is entertained by him. He
authorizes the statement that nothing
that the New York Sun says OF his in
tentionS can be accurate.

SPOKANE, Wash, May 21.-A sensa-
tional suicide occurred in the munc-
ipal court room here yesterday after
noon. Frank f. johnson is the name of
the man who killed himself, and do
mestic infelicity was the cause. Early
Saturday morning a policeman met
johnson driving toward the boulevard.
The man acted in peculiar manner,
and the officer stopped and questioned
him. Johnson said he was trying to
see his wife, who was staying at the
hotel. The officer. upon searching him,
found revolver, and johnson was ar
rested and taken to police headquarters.
where he was placed under bonds to
appear before Judge Miller later in the
day. He failed to appear, but his wife,
Mary A. Johnson. came to headquarters
and swore out warrant for his arrest,
charging him with threatening
her life. He was again ar
rested and taken to Judge Mil
ler's court. Several policemen, the
Nlbg obOOlilOJ bilN oPONSotOOAo WSAS
in the court room when Johnson was
told to stand up. Are you guilty or
not guilty" asked the Judge. Johnson
did not reply, but pulled revolver
from his pocket, put it to his left side
and shot himself through the heart.
The tragedy caused a profound sensa-
tion. Johnson's wife is variety act
-ess, and is at present employed at the
louvre theater as a singer. She goes
.luder the name of Alice Hamilton,
(which johnson said was her maiden
&ame. Friday she filed a suit for di-
.,;orce against him. She left him sew
ipral months ago, and his visit TO
Spokane was to get her to go back with
MIN, which she refused to do. 1t is be-
kieved her application for divorce drove
ihim to suicide. Upon his person were
found a large clasp knife and p tormid-
able Japanse dirk, complete set Of
burglar tools, including dozen skele-
ton keys of all kinds and pair of nip
pers to reach into a lock and turn it.
