In 1887 the tonnage of the
worlds sea-going vessels was 90
73S,645 tons, and in 1888, 21,04S,-
7O4 tons in 1889, 22,151,651 tons

1.-THE safest place in the world
is the cabin of an ocean steamer.
In 1892 there were $4,000, 900 pas
sengers by steamships, of whom
240 people were lost, or one in every

way were much higher. Out of

,ular travel, and also than pedes-

IN THE CITY.



Yesterday Afternoon about 4 o'clock
fire broke out in the little four-room
cottage on Gay street belonging to Mrs.
Daggctt and occupied by Chas. Petrie
a. a repair shop for sewing machines,
oil stoves. etc Petrie says he had about
$1,000 worth of sewing machines, oil
stoves. etc, in the house. besides one
sewing machine and one oil stove in
for repairs. In addition to this, part
of the stock belonged to Frank Dnggctt
il having been removed TO this place
when fire destroyed the stables on Fiji
tecnth street.
Shortly before o'clock a hoy went
into the room where the oil stove that
had been brought in for repairs was
placed and III a match TO ascertain the
l0,Ition of the leak. He picked himself
up in the next room. The gas from the
oil had ignitod with flash and the sue
Ceeding explosion scattered the burning
fluid all over the room and before the
alarm was turned in from the nearest
box, the entire house was in flames.
The department made an exceptionally
good run, though II was a long one and
the day was very hot. II quickly had a
stream playing on the flames, which
were eNtinguished in few moments
The pressure was strong and the de
partment did some good work.
There was no insurance on The house
which was totally destroyed, Mira. T.. j
Daggebl estimates the loss at $3.50, while
Frank Daggett places 1t at $3.50. Tier,
was $500 insurance on the stock ant
household goods, which Acting Fir
Chief Watkins thinks will fully covei
this loss
