FLOATING FLAME.
The Fine Steamer Cibola
Burned on the Niagara
River.
THRILLING ESCAPES RECORDED
Probable Loss of the Third En-
gineer-Fire Spread to the
Shore.

LEWISTON, N. Y, July Is, 1885,
Shortly before one o'clock this morning
the handsome steamer Cibola of the
Niagara River line. which plies between
here and Toronto. was discovered to
be on fire at her dock. The flames
spread with great rapidity and soon en-
veloped the steamer and communicated
to the dock. The steamer broke away
the river, mass of flame. She burned:
to the waters edge, and her hull lies
on a sandbar between here and the
mouth of the river.
The fire on the dock spread to the
American Hotel and for a time threat
ened the New York Central depot. The
dock and hotel were almost totally de-
stroyed and the depot badly scorched.
When the flames were discovered on
gers were aboard and asleep. They were
quickly aroused and all succeeded in es-
Gaping, with the exception of the third
engineer, William Hammell, of Toronto,
who is missing. He was known to have
been in the engine room at the time
the fire started, but has not been seen
since and it is supposed he was burned
to death.
The total loss will probably reach
$25oOoO.
The Cibola was one of four fine steam
ers-the Chippewa, Chicora and Ongiara
being the others-run by the Niagara
Navigation Company between Lewiston
and Toronto. The boats make daily
trips, Sundays excepted. The Cibola, like
the others, was Clyde built, and was
claimed to be one of the fastest paddle
steamers in the world. She was of steel.
255 feet long, and was built by MOI ON
of Glasgow.
Second Engineer Woodford had mar
row escape. When he awoke he was
surrounded by flames. and before he
could reach the deck he was badly burn
ed. He threw himself into the water
and was rescued by those on the dock.

Kruse said that during the scrimmage
Chancemen Tobias Cheffo and Gerloch

special to the Jerscu Citu Nears.

TRENTON. July 49, 1S95-Judge Con-
over sitting in the Mercer Court today,
rendered his decision on the motion made
and argued some days ago to quash the
Indictment against John L. Kuser and
others for conspiracy to cheat and de-
fraud the State. in connection with GER
tain contracts for German printing. The
Court denied the motion. holding that
the legal suff1ciency of the indictment
is challenged on technical grounds mere
ly, which in no wise involve the merits
of the case. Assuming that there was no
law authorizing the awarding of the con-
not affect the real issue in the case. In
overruling the motion of the Court said it
was exercising it's discretion not to throw
out of court case in which a completed
crime is set out in the indictment merely
because the verbiage contains surplus
age. All of the six points raised by col =
sci for Kuser were overruled Counsellor
Beasley was granted an exception under
which perhaps after the trial the same
points will be raised and argued in the
Supreme Court On motion of Counsellor
Dennis, appearing for Charles Robinson,
one of the alleged conspirators, the trial
of the Kuser case was fixed for Septem-
Der %.
Ex-Judge Hoffman made application
for the postponement for the term of
trial of John Mullins. the Jersey City
Furniture dealer. who was also indicted
in connection with the State House
frauds Judge Hoffman said his associ-
ate, Mr.. James Vredenburg, was busy
in another court and he had not had an
opportunity to even look at this case
yet. He would be engaged in the same
case several weeks more and then it
would take counsel two weeks at least to
prepare for trial.
The Court granted postponement until
