THE GROUND ON FIRE.
Fighting the Flames in "a Peaks Island
Swamp.

i
There was plenty of excitement on
Peaks Island yesterday afternoon and last
night. The fire on the back part of the
island, that has been burning for almost
a week, broke out anew and the cottagers
became frightened at the progress of the
flames as they were rapidly approaching
the cottage colony.
The fire bell on the island gave the
alarm in the afternoon and the volun-
teers responded with the hand engine
which was practically useless for the
water supply on that part of the island
had been exhausted by the encounter
with the recent outbreak of the flames.
The old engine was also in bad condition,
as it has not been in practice lately.
| The fire department in the city was APP
pealed to for aid and Chief Ball ordered
the fire boat Mary W. Libby Ito proceed
to Trefethen's Landing. Nearly five
thousand feet Of hose were placed on
board and a detail of dozen OF more
firemen went down. The company on
Peaks has five Ehundred feet which gave
| the department mile of hose.
The scene of the fire is in big swamp
between the road leading from Trefeth-
ems Landing to the Chapman house, and
what is known as Cemetery road.
It had burned over the long ridge
known as Sparkove Hill, before reaching
the peat swamp, which offered excellent
fuel for the fire. The efforts of the fire
men were directed to keeping the flames
from reaching the large growth of tim
Der, mostly pine, that separates the
swamp from the Cemetery road and also
from a group of buildings, among them
being the Pooler, Pennell, Way, Gould
| and others.
1t was reported by an officer who came
UP to the city late last night, that atdark
the fire was within about one hundred
feet of the roadway. The cottagers had
tried to check it by throwing up small
| ridges of earth, but the ground being ex-
ceedingly dry and of a peat formation
no resistance to the fire was offered.
Barrels of water were placed in the
ground but were soon emptied and
proved of no avail.
The fire boat proceeded to Flat Iron
Cove betwee Evergreen ssand Trefethen's
Landings and about $500 feet of hose
were laid up over the knoll, and through
the woods to the swamp. The Libby
pushed an effective stream through the
entire stretch. Both pumps were worked
through two lines of hose for distance
of few hundred feet and then the Sia-
mese nozzle was put on and from that
to the terminus the water was pushed
through oneline, giving double pressure.
This is the same method that was en-
ployed at the burning of the Ottawa
House.
Almost the entire population of the
island was at the scene and assisted the
department as best they could. The fire
that had defied the pail brigade and the
s'beaters'' rapidly gave way to the water
from the briny deep, and at a late hour
it was reported that the fire was practi-
cally extinguished.
Two ladies came up on the evening
boat to secure men to go down and help
put out the fire, but their fears were
groundless.
1t is estimated that the area burnt
comprises fifty acres.

4 MANHiTT1N EXPLANATIONS

Managers of the Manhattan Company. in
Gliding its pr dent, are rising to remark that
they did mt mean their latest letter TO the
Rapid Transit Commission T. be regarded as
the end OF the matter Perhaps they would
now express themselves more accurately if
they were to say that they did not intend that
letter to produce the impression upon the pub
lie mind which it evidently has produced. II
was interpreted by the Commissioners the
Manor and the community rs curt rejection
of the toms proposed, and As meaning that
the COMPANY expected t. secure the new fran

that was not It's meaning IT was very unSkIl-

thori,ics with perfect courtesy. and were actn-
atcd only by the highest motives in taking the
Manhattan temporarily, Is It wore, out of the

1t seems to rs that this explanation is rather
too thin t. cover the retreat OF the Manhattan
Company. and that the Rapid Transit Com

tage Of the community if they proceed with
their plan for the establishment of competitive
lines of transportation The on! advantage

mont in their favor Uses all it, force. On the

RJfpINi, THE UUIRL HIND

It is not possible 70 feel profound sympathy
for taos. workingmcn Of thi. and other cities
who turned 4 deaf ear t. al warnings last fall,
laughed at the idea that the success Of one
party rather thar another would make any
difference in thcr wag : and voted the Dem
Ocrailc ticket without any visible motive cX-
c,pt t, smash their employers. Those who
canoe must pay the p.p's. These workirgmcn
wcic charged with The responsibilities and
yac.cl d tie, o. &c f-g0v, rnmcnt. The, chose
to vote against their own int rests, and against
the interests Of all worliingmcn. and their
suffering is only another proof that mTu;ahlc
laws of justice cannot be violated with i'm
punity. When a Thousand or more march
through the streets of this city, tastifying that
they are ont of work and hungry one cannot
help remembering that many of the same men
marched the last time IN Il Tammany lro-
ccssion shouting for Mr.. Cleveland
The fc. ling among many O.kingmen last
fall was. as they fr quentl' showed, that they
could rely upon their union, and ether organ
zations t. secure them good wages. and that
smashing the tariff would only smash the
profits Of "blOatcl capitalists" IT would have
been better for them il they had reflected that
an employer does not pay wages when he can
not expect any profits. To run costly works
at mimi AID heavy risk, without reasonable
expcctati' Of gains would be almost as child
ish as 10 look to the Democratic paIty for
better times. When the voters decided t. have
Il change many employers knew that they must
get ready to close their works. or else must
take the risk OF running them at a loss. The
closing of mill gates and factory doors is only
the echo of the shouts for Cleveland
All this is so natural and plain consequence
that it was fOresccn and predicted. even by
many Democrats themselves. But they calcu-
lated that only small part of the many works
would stop at any time, and that the people
would want as many goods As Lcfcre so that
the unaltcrcd demand would quickly sci the
mill, at work again. They forgot. these blind
leaders Of the blind. tina; the demand for goods
depends upon wages. II "A man has no wages
he cannot demand goods Very long If his
wages are cut down that they suffice ONLY
for the bare ncccssareS of life, he cannot .dc-
mand goods that are not neccsSarcs.
\ neral reduction of wages i; in progress
for these who arr still employed, because en-
ployers who hope g. be able & compete at al
with foreign labor know that they can do :,
only with a reduced cost OF production. If the
5000 900 haf d in manufacturing and mining
lose 20 pcr cent of their former wages. that
alone means a difference of $500. O0O. 900 in
their demand for products lIut n consid.
cradle share of them arc now getting no wages.
