FIRE IN NORTH ATTLEBORO.
Passenger and Freight Depots Go Up In
Smoke.

NORTH ATTLEBoRo, Mass, Feb. IL
Fire broke out in the Western Union
Telegraph Office OF the Washington
street station of the Old Col
ony railroad yesterday afternoon
at o'clock. Police officer Stone saw
the smoke and gave the alarm and burst
off the door, discovering a blaze, which
had evidently secured a good start, be-
hind the switch board. He could not
enter the room on account of the smoke,
so that BY the time the fire department
arrived the flames had made considerable
headway.
The department could do very little as
some OF the hydrants were frozen and
Others were at low pressure so that the
fire practically had its own way.
The depot was seen TO be doomed and
the attention of the tiremen was directed
To saving CargelPs lumber yard toward
which the flames were driving.
The lire soon caught the building OF
w. III. Riley & Sons coal yard, aud n
second alarna was rung in. Aid was also
sent for To Plainville and Attleboro.
The total loss was about So, 00O which
includes about forty tons OF hay and
large quantity Of pipe and cement, the
property OF W. IL. Riley * Son. The
depot and freight house were totally de
stroyed as the iiremen were retarded in
their work by electric wires

GLASGOW. Feb 1.-THE Allen line
steamship Pomeranian. overdue in New
York, returned to Greenock this morning.
The vessel had encountered very bad
weather since leaving port and is badly
damaged.
The officers report that one second and
one fourth officer, two quartermast ters,
two stewards, four first class passengers,
and one second class passenger. we're
swept overheard and drowned during "A
terrific gale several days ago.
The captain was also fatally injured
and did not live but few hours.
The Pomeranian met with weather of
unusual severity when but short dis
tance out and the gales increased as she
proceeded.
When l,l50 miles out from Glasgow the
gale and storm increased in fury.
Suddenly heavy sea swept over the
vessel without the slightest warning.
Everything on the decks was carried
into the sea by the avalanche of water
Thechart-house, bridge, and boats were
smashed and went over the side aud all
the passengers who happened To be on
deck at the time were swept overb board in
the wreckage.
When the sea had passed over the vessel
the bare decks of the disman tied steamer
were the scenes OF ruin and confusion,
while the shrieks OF the dro wning in the
surging whirlpool about the ship filled
the air.
Capt. Dalziel, who was on the bridge
,ha ha h.
thrown with terrific force against the
bulwarks. where he lay stunned and
helpless.
The mates, John Cook and John Ham
ilton, who stood beside the captain Just
before the shrek, were swept over the
side and drowned.
The four frst-class passengers who
we're on deck at the time aud who went
over the side with the wave were, James
and Lillian Gibson OF Dalkeith, ia nes
Caffey of Londonderry, aud John Stew
art of Glasgow.
They were all In the deck saloon when
the sea passed over the ship.
The second cabin passenger lost was a
man named Peter Forbes.
The stewards, James Pritchard and
James Westbury, were about their du-
ties and with the others perished in the
sea.
Two seamen, Peter Mclean and Will
liam Urquehart. were also missing
shortly after, and there is no doubt that
they too met death.
For a moment after the terrible catas-
trophe all aboard the ship were too
stunned to make any effort TO save the
drowning, whose piteous cries for help
were heard on every side
With two officers and the captain dis
abled and insensibe there was no one to
issue orders.
The third officer finally recovered his
self-possession aud at once issued orders
TO the crew which were promptly acted
upon. but it was too late TO aid the un-
fortunate ones in the water
The boats being carried away the
sailors were forced 10 rely on ropes aud
life preservers, which were OF but little
u.s. in such a sea.
All the ships instruments OF naviga.
tion with the exception of the after com.
pass were carried away.
IL was therefore decided 10 put back
