A BIG FIRE.
Tho Machine shops of the Seaboard Air
Line Burned.

Tho Machine shops of the Seaboard Air
Line Burned.
Raleigh's biggest fire in many
years occurred last week. The main
building of the Seaboard Air Line
railroad shops was entirely destroy
ed. 1t was 2lOxG5 feet, and was
built in 1860, save one annex which
was put up in 1883. The roof was
tin, but this was supported by a
mass of pine timber, as dry as tin
dor, and so when the fire started 1t
fairly raced under the great roof.
There was delay in sending in an
alarm. When the firemen got to the
scene half the roof was in flames,
and in minute the remainder
blazed. 1t would have taken q river
of water to put out such q fire. Sc
the firemen set to work to keep the
fire within the building where il
started.
On the tracks near this building
were many cars. These were al
pulled away save q passenger car
three box cars, and flat loaded
with lumber. These were damaged
u little. In zone box car were sc
bales of compressed cotton, from
Hamlet, bound foreign. This was
damaged to the amount of perhaps
$3.50.
In the building, which was de.
stroyed, were the machine shop. the
blacksmith room, with the steam
hammer, and the boiler making
room; also the engines, boilers and
electric light dynamos, etc. Master
Mechanic Maglenn estimates the loss
on machinery at $35, 900. Division
superintendent Moncure estimates
the loss ON the building at $15, 900
The walls of the building arc intact
and show only ono small crack
They are admirably built.
Trees caught fire from sparks, in
some cases nearly 100 yards from
the fire.
There are $50 men on the pay rol
at these shops. The pay foots ur
several thousand dollars weekly.
1t is currently reported that the
shops will be rebuilt on much lar
GER scale than formerly.

A TRIBUTE TO STEVENSON.
The VaiIima Letters u Perfect Picture
ofhis various Moods.

OF MS various "oOus'
George Hamlin Fitch, who
reviews books for the s. f. Chro-
nicle, has the following to say
about Robert Louis Stevenson
and his Vailima letters, which
have just been published:
The literary year that has just
ended saw the death of the great
est master of style who used the
English tongue, the creator of a
world of romance that will never
die. Since Stevenson's eager life
was quenched in night in far-off
Samoa, we have had many esti-
mates of his work and of his in
huence by divers hands, but the
article which seems to me to
reflect most perfectly the impres.
sion that Stevenson makes upon
a sensitive mind was contributed
by Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,
to the November Century. She
saw Stevenson only once for a
single hour on a gloomy day in a
dismal chamber of New York
hotel; but the man, who was in
bed, propped up on pillows, was
so bright-eyed, alert and intensely
alive that she forgot he was an in
valid and left him with a pro-
found admiration for the courage
that triumphed over bodily ills
and made a jest of pain and
WEAKNESS. The result of a careful
study of SStevenson's books, she
says with truth, is to make a
writer ashamed of any but his
best work. Stevenson spent such
infinite pains to do the best that
was i'll him that those who come
within the circle of his friendship
cannot escape the contagious in
tiuence of his literary enthusiasm.
This and the loyal admiration of
thousands who have no gifts of
speech seem to me to be the i'm
mortality that would best suit the
man who was the best loved of
any writer of his time.

5000 licensed officers. The number OF
steam vessels on inland waters which, I'M
der the law, are not navigable waters. Is
large in Itself. 50 that the total number OF
steam vessels in the country foOts up
considerably over 5000
II is estimated that between 6000o0. 600 and
last year, and the fact that Of this num-
Der. but l46 were lost by accident Is an
evidence OF the safety OF travel by steamer
compared with travel by other means, and
the protection that IS Afforded through
the enforcement Of the laws governing
the navigation OF steam vessels by the
steamboat inspection service. In all 394
lives were lost on board of the $500 steam
boats. OF these, 246 were officers or per-
sons employed on the steamers. OF the
total loss of life As per cent, or 1s3 people
was through the laundering of the steam
ship Colima on the Pacific coast, May, q
1895. being over 46 per cent. of the whole
considerable part was the result of causes
sponsible.
This is a remarkable showing for a ser
vice having the responsibility of carrying
a number of people in the aggregate ten
times the population Of the entire country.
1t Is also an evidence Of the care which
steamboat owners and officers exercise for
the safety of the people who travel by wa
OF the over 5000 steamers in service in
the United States nearly 1900 are on the
Atlantic coast, and of these One-fourth are
On the South Atlantic from Baltimore to
alone 225 vessels were inspected last year
by the local inspectors of this port and
there are in the district 900 licensed Off
GERS.
There are few branches of the govern
ment service which involve a greater de-
tail Of supervision than the steamboat ser
vice. Gen. Dumont, who has been at its
head for years, said recently while in Sa-
vannah on an official tour of inspection
that the service is better organized now
than Ii has ever been, and a greater zeal
is exercised by its officers in the execution
and enforcement of the steamboat laws.
Congress has given more attention to the
improvement Of the service during the last
few years and a number of bills are be-
fore the present session, which, If passed,
viii add greatly to its efficiency and will
tend to the better protection of life and
property. In all. likelihood vessels pro-
PEELED by naphtha engines will be placed
under the service and bill has also been
introduced TO extend its jurisdiction over
sailing vessels of a stated tonnage requir-
ing the officers of these vessels to be licens-
ed by government inspectors. All foreign
steamers carrying passengers between
American and foreign ports are now sub
ject to inspection and last year 81 were in
spected.
Gen. Dumont has taken a special interest
in the steamboat interests of the south,
and particularly in this section. For
long time he was actively engaged in
steamboating between Port Royal and
Charleston and is familiar with the entire
coast. There are few men of greater ex-
ecutive ability and who combine more
