STEAMBOAT BURNED.
The Canonicus Caught Fire at a
Staten Island Dock.
Sent Adrift So that Other Property
Might MOI Be in Peril.
Carried by the Tide to Fort Rich
mond, Where She Sank.

PORT RICHMOND, s. l., June 49,
The stee mboat Canonicus was burned tc
the waters edge this morning. The fire
was discovered about o'clock, as she
lay at her dock in Starin's shipyard.
Two engines, three hose car
riages and hook and ladder
truck arrived very quickly, but
there was no water in the yard, and
there was not sufficient hose to bring
water from the nearest hydrant, in
Bodine street.
The only way to save the shipyard
buildings and the other steamboats, and
vessels tied up near by was to cut tn.
the burning boat was taken out into the
middle of the XIII Won kull by the
ebb tide. She drifted down as far as
Livingstone station, sending up mass
of smoke and roaring flames. Then sh.
drifted back to Port Richmond, where
she sank In twenty-five feet OF water
after bui ming to the water line.
The origin of tn, fire Is not yet known
Tt ere were three men aboard of the Ca,
nonIcus as shipkeepers. 1t is suggested
that a Saturday nights spree is the
mcst probable cause.
The Canonicus Is owned by Mr.. Bea'
mers of Brooklyn. She was towed here
on Friday to have her tanks overha auled
She has not had fire under her boilers
for weeks.
The Canonicus is one Of the old style
side-wheel, hog-frame, wooden steam
boats, and for years has been used fol
excursion purposes.

The Conl Combine Cannot Change
THE Worlds Prices"

The price OF coal continues the same

the combine may whereas" and re
solve" 1.-THE World" had the fore
thought to provide in advance for just
what the combine did. and whether
they mine much or little during the
Summer months, whether they decide
that because of the strikes among the
bituminous coal miners they must raise
the price of anthracite or decide to mine
a million tons or less of hard coal during
the Summer and thus create scarcity
SO that they may raise the prices, The
World" will go on selling fuel at Aeo
per ton. Every consumer who Is unable
to bring his regular dealer to a sense Of
what Is right can still save the Is cents
oyercharge by leaving orders at the
New York or Brooklyn offices of The
World and get first-class hard coal at
$4.5O per ton.
1.-The World" went into this fight de-
liberately and after a careful study of
the situation. 1t proposes to shame the
combine into decency, though last Win
ter's Legislature never once mentioned
| the report of the Senate Committee of

turned aside from his political opera
tions long enough to suggest bill re-
lieving the robbed coal consumer OF
