MOUNTAIN OF COAL lF|RE
Six Thousand Tons Burning on
a Georgetown Wharf.
sMoULDERED FOR WEEKS
About Seveniy-five Tons of the Fuel
Be Removed and Water Poured Into
the Interior of the PiIe-Spontane-
GUS Combustion the Cause.

About s 900 tons of bituminous coal have
been burning for the past four weeks near
the wharves of Meredith, WiDshp & Co,
at the foot of ThirtIeth street, in George
town. The fire, which was beneath the
huge heap, near the offices and buildings
of the company, was discovered last Tues
day, after having consumed about seventy
tons OF coal, and avgaug of wprlznen was
placed at the pile With INSTRUCTIONS 10 ex-
tinguish it by digging -through-the outer
layers and using water copiously. Yestcr
day the fire was put out, tts,ugh II WAS
thought that it would take much longer to
uncove rthe mass OF internal flame and
smother it.
HOW IT STARTED. /
The huge heaps of coal lay near the
canal being shoveled directly from the
boats. Several months ago, a workman
at the wharf said, several boat loads OF
wet coal were dumped on the sire of the
fire and dry coal was piled over;that.
A few weeks ago gases began to arise
from the coal, followed by thick smoke
last week. AS soon as possible workmen
went to the piles to ascertain the origin
of the fire. digging into the hard. COM
pressed pile some feet II was discovered
that the whole interior of the hill was a
mass Of flaming, red hot ciuders and
that the fire covered a large area
As the outside of the hill was shoveied
off water was thrown in, and for rive
days the operation continued, the fire be-
ing extinguished AT points uncovered.
SUFFoCATING GASES.
In the meantime the gas and smoke
issued from the heaps in such volume that
the odors We're perceptible all over West
Washington, and the smoke covered the
wharves like pail, putting work about
the place out of the question.
Yesterday the last particle of fire was
eXtinguished and the loss estimated. bout
seventy tons of coal it was found had been
burned, besides the foundation of a large
crane on the wharves
The fire, the coal men think, was due
to the contact OF the wet and dry coal in
the heap, which became heated by chemi-
cal acton AMI caused spontaneous combus-
tion.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, January 19.-Msyor
Schieren has called for the services of
six hundred militia TO aid the police to-
day in protecting the street railroads
in their endeavors to resume business.
The mayor and chief of police have
been at odds with the railroad COM
panies upon the proper method for the
latter to pursue. The railroad men
wish TO start the cars upon all of the
tied-np roads at once. The mayor and
chief of police held to the opinion that
the better way would be TO concentrate
effort upon the roads sing1y and put
them in operation one by one. The
railroad men yesterday showed dispo-
sition to go over the city authorities
heads and call upon the sheriff of Kings
county who could bring the militia in
to service without the Intervention OF
the mayor Yesterday was an eNcesd-
ingly turbulent and fiotous one upon
all the roads where any attempt was
made to do business excepting the two
where compromise was reached Thurs
day The condition of affairs last
night was such that the mayor seems
to have waived his opinions and acted
according to the desires of the railroad
companies.

was called TO order at 1880 o'clock YES
terday at Washington Artillery hall,
by J. c. Manning, of Alabama, who

said, while men with blue eyes and
straight hair, ex-confederates, had
sworn that 5000 fraudulent votes had
been cast in the county. Mr.. Manning
spoke of certain parts of Alabama as
darker Alabama; and also spoke OF
the election of Congressman-elect Black

ed free and fair count because he
was appalled, at the enormous steal of
$4,000 votes in his favor in Richmond

formed that inquiries be made with a
view to prosecuting those guilty of
election frauds, and that the people
and press be appealed to assist in the
cause.

speaker was roundly applauded.
Hon. Thos. S. Adams, ex-Secretary
of state, then made a speech welcom-
ing the convention to the city.
