AN KvKNrFUL VOYAGE.

The steamer Alaska Encountered a
Fog I'm Her Trip to Europe and Mar
rowly Escaped Going on n Rock on
tho Coast OF Ireland,
QUEENSTOWN, August 6.-The steamer
Alaska from New York, July %, arrived
here at half-past Ave this afternoon after q
most eventful voyage. The Alaska en-
countered the fog the entire passage. For
four days and nights the whistle sounded
almost continuously and the vessel was
kept at reduced speed. 1t Is stated by
some of the passengers tina. at II o'clock
this morning the Alaska narrowly escaped
running on the rocks on the extreme west
coast of ireland, owing to the dense fog
prevailing at the time. Had not the vessel
been steaming along at quarter speed abe
could hardly have avoided striking q huge
rock, which was dimly diseerned by the
passengers as the vessel backed away In
obedience to the prompt action of the
pilot.
The Alaska then steamed With extreme
caution until Fastnet was sighted, about
two hours afterward. The Browhead sta
tion was not able to see the Alaska as she
passed that point.
Captain Murray states that al 10 O'Clock
this morning he had more than made the
distance to Fastnet. and in consequence of
this he kept the lead going and Increased
the lookout and proceeded cautiously. At
IL o'clock the lookout sighted land, and II
was then discovered that the vessel was
west of Fsstnet, making It necessary to
alter her course more to the southeast
ward. The engines were therefore re-
versod a short time for this purpose, cAus-
ing some of the more excitsble passengers
to conclude there had been grave danger.
One of the passengers, Mr.. Attridge, an
experienced ocean traveller, confirms the
statement of Captain Murray and says that
none of the officers nor the bulk of the
passengers ever thought there was the
slightest danger.

BErI,s WAREHOUSE Quilted

Flames Consume the Large Ware
house of r. A. Belts on RaiIroa d
Avenue-The Loss About SIS, 1000,
Fully Covered by Insurance.
One of the hardest fires that the depart
ment has had to contend with for come
time was discovered in the northeast end
of Frederick Belts warehouse on r abroad
avenue a few minutes after 8 O'Clock last
evening. Tha flames spread with great
rspidity, and for some time the surround
ing property was in danger. Thick clouds
of smoke were pouring through the roof
when the engines arrived, and they coon
had six streams on the burning building.
The building was completely filed with
grain and hay, there having been eight car
loads of oats put in on Saturday.
The building WAS owned by the CONSOLE
dated railroad company and was COM
pletely destroyed. In consequence of the
ferceness of the fire 1t was impossible to
save any part of the stock. Mr.. Belts
| was seen later in the evening and he
placed his loss at from SIC, 900 to $12, 600
which is fully covered by insurance. The
origin of the fire Is unknown but IL was
thought that 1t might have been caused by
a spark from a passing locomotive.
While working at the fire Fireman @. T..
Longley of SIS company was severely cut
about the nose by an axe and was taken to
/ the Grand avenue station where the wound
was dressed. The building was damaged

WATERBURY, Aug. 6.-Quite a sensation
was caused here yesterday by the report
that Prosecuting Attorney o'Nen had is
sued licenses to several houses of i'll fame
In the city. He prosecuted the places a
few days ago and the rumor, which was
without any foundation, probably grew
out of the action of the prosecuting at
torney at that time. he believes that Ii Is
impossible to drive theee plsces out of
business and has therefore announced that
he will raid them several times year and
fine the keepers He thinks that they
cannot be suppressed sld continual raid
ing causes go much trouble, 1t would be bet
ter to fine them about once a month and
benefit the city treasury so much. One of
the road house keepers has sgreed to pay q
fine of S33 80 q month, and IL Is believed
that the others will make the same agree
ment. The prosecuting attorneys ideas
on this subject have shocked the morals of
the ehurchmen, bu. 1t is probable that the
same will be tolerated.
