Pittsburgh Docked az EEoboken-- VIII
BE Ready BY July.

The new ferryboat Pittsburgh of the
Pennsylvania Railroad arrived last night
and is now doclzed at the conpany's
wharf in Hoboken. The boat is still very
incomplete. no engines or woodwork be-
ing yet in place. It is thought that the
boat will be put in commission in the lat-
ter part of July and will be run on the
Courtlandt street line.
The Pittsburgh is of 1878 tons gross
displacement and will have detachable
twin screws. The screws will be at each
end of the vessel and a popularity of the
new boat is that each screw can be oper-
ated separately. Only one screw will be
operated at time except in case Of emer-
gency, or when ;tsis desired to stop sud-
denly.
The exposed woodwork will be princi-
palIy of quartered oak, the trimmings be-
ing of mahogany and prima vera. The
cabin floors will be paved by intersecting
sections of hard rubber. The ST. Louis,

ARSON CHARGED.
Strange Fire Yesterday in
the United States EX-
press company's
Stables.
AN EMPLoYE UNDER ARREST
Threatened 10 Get Square With the
Company Prompt Work in
Extinguishing the
Flames.
AN EMPLOYE UNDER ARREST

What is supposed to be deliberate
case of setting fire to building out of
pure revenge took place yesterday in this
Communipaw avenue, was this morning
committed to jail to await the Grand
Jurys inquiry on such a grave charge.
Yesterday about noontime Superintend-
ent John Van Duyn, of the United States
Express Company saw smoke coming
out of the windows of the company $
building at Communipaw, adjoining the
railroad depot As he ran to the stables
flames were issuing from the windows.
Some Of the employees Of the company
hurried to the scene and with praise
worthy energy quickly put out the fire,
which had already begun to make head
way in the hay loft of the stables. Some
one pulled the fire box, but the firemen's $
aid was not needed.
When the flames were extinguished an
investigation was started and the Super
intendent found it to be Enthusiastically
of an incendiary kind. Bundles of hay
had been soaked with kerosene and had
it not been for the prompt work Of Mr.
Van 4-uyn and the men the entire frame
building, which covers a large area,
would have been destroyed. There We're
about 10 horses in the stables and about
a dozen trucks and wagons.
Some of the men informed the Super
intendent that an extra" in the stables
had said to one of the men that he In
tended to get square because his position
didn't suit him. This extra was Quiri-
Ian. He had formerly been in the en-
ploy of the company, but left it to take
a bartender's position. On october last
he left the saloon business and came
back to Mr.. Van Duyn and begged to
be given employment. AS there was no
steady place vacant he was put into
the stables as an extra. This didn't
please him and he grumbled and made
things as unpleasant as possible for those
with whom he came in contact.
Prepare yourself" he said to- Albert

at his post as he should have been yes
terday-for there's no holiday for an ex-
pressfnan these busy days-Q Quinlan Went
off without permission and d.d net return
Until the FIRE had been extinguished.
The Superintendent putting these facts
together decided that Quinilan was the
cause of the IRE, and procured a warrant
for his. arrest He was locked up late In
the afternoon and this morning arraigned
before Justice Potts on a charge of ar
son.
The superintendent testimony corro-
berated by G:lbertson, was substantially
that to many of the employees Quinilan
mad threatened to burn the building SIM
ply to get square for not being given his
old place.
Grand Jury said Justice Potts. and the
prisoner was taken to the County Jail:
He denied everything, and says he
knows nothing about the fire.
