STEAMER LOUISE WRECKED.
BY an Accident on Maiue Central Noun
tain Division.

The steamer Louise, 1t will be remem-
bered, has been making journey over
land to Lake Sebago. Not making very
great Roadway the owners decided to put
her on the railway and transport her in q
much more expeditions manner. The
steamer was placed on two fiat cars con-
nected with tra1E on the Mountain
division of the Maine Central and was
moving along towards her destination
Sun day in excellent shape.
AS the station at Newhall was reached,
the train slowed down to. a snail's pace
so that the upper works of the boat
should not be struck by any of the sur
roundings of the station. She cleared the
station all right and the train was
rounding curve when, all at once a
car, on which the boat rested, left the
irons, and the boat went into the ditch
If she had not been an exceptionally
strong craft she would have been broken
to pieces. The shock was 80 great that
the great steel braces. an inch thick,
that held the boiler in place. were cuIled
up like paper. The boiler apparently was
not hurt. The upper works of the boat
were badly stove. Mr. Goodridge said
that a numbsr of men On the car
miraoulously escaped, the boat going over
them without hitting them. If 1t had
not have been for the snow by the side of
the railroad track the lifeboats that were
thrown into it would have been smashed
from Portland and the track cleared. The
boat will he taken to the lake and re-
paired there.

Spain--Peru Gets Another Hint.
Washington, Nov. II. - Senior Jose
Canalejas. one CT the foremost public
men Of Spain. editor OF Ell Heraldo, of
Madrid. former minister Of justice in
the Liberal ministry, and closely identi-
fed with Premier Sagasta and the new
Liberal regime in Spain. arrived in
Washington yesterday. While the visit
is unofficial much interest attaches to 1t
among public men, owing to Senior
Canalejas intimate knowledge Of condi-
tons at the Spanish capital. The Span
ish minister called on Senior Canalejas
soon after his arrival and the two were
together much Of the day. being Joined
later by Calderon Carlisle, counsel for
the legation.
Senor Canalsjas accorded to a repre-
| sentative Of the press a brief inter-
viSw. Having recently arrived in .his
country. he expressed himself as little
acquainted with conditions here, but as
to those in Madrid he spoke freely.
The feeling there Is one OF expectancy"
said he. But there il little or no feeling
that a serious crisis will present itself
between the United States and Spain,
and there Is no thought in well in
formed circles that extreme measures
or a resort to war-will result. A CON-
plete chargeof policy has resulted from
the accession of the Liberal ministry. and
the aggressive policy executed by Gen.
oral Weyler Is now succeeded by the
moreconeiliatory methods OF that peace
ful soldier. General Blanco.
As to the autonomy which Spain now
offers to Cuba. 1t is autonomy Of the
genuine character. and IL IL rendered in
the sincerest good faith. In all internal
affairs the autonomy now offered will
give the Cuban people entire freedom Ia
shaping their own affairs. With such
a policy in view. and with General
Blanco to put II into execution. there Il
every assurance that Spain will do al

FIRE At 4 REFORM SCHOOL
IReendiary Blaze at the Insiitu-
ton for Cel0red Girls.
FIVE OF THE INMATES ESCAPE
Believed to Have Been Star ed by
the Missing Girls to Facilitate
Their Escape-A Favorable Me-
ment Chosen-The FGgitiyes SiiiI
at Large-Fire Damage Slight.

Five young colored girls of the Colored
Girls Reform School, on the Little Falls
road, near Dalecarlia reservoir, west OF
Georgetown, made daring dash FOR lifl-
erty aDout o'clock yesterday evening.
Simultaneous with the escape OF the
girls fire broke out i'll the laundry OF the
Institution, causing about S225 damage,
and believed 10 have been due To incen-
iarism.
1t was a hold attempt on the part or
tile girls to obtain their freedom. Circum-
stances lead to the belief that the girls
deliberately set fire to the building in
order that their escape could be effected
more easily.
Their escape from the institution was
made during the excitement caused among
tile other inmates by the discovery OF
the fire, and up to late hour none or
the girls had been apprehended-
Mrs. Ruhl, the superintendent or the
reform school, was away at the time, and
Mrs. Miller, the matron, was acting as
superintendent during her absence. Tue
five girls, with that shrewdness born in
most reform school inmates, selected thfs
as a good time to run away from the IN
stitutiou, and theiI choice seems TO have
been thus far favorable If not wise
one.
Shortly before O'Clock yesterday even
ing one of the girls in passing the laan-
dry saw slight blaze there.
Running to Mrs ALiHer, she gave the
alarm. Cries of "Fire," soon aroused
everyone to the highest pitch Of excite
ment, and on this account IL was with
some difficulty that the fire could at first
be fought A message was sent TO the
city for balp. Mr. Ferguson, who is sta
toned at the receiving reservoir. sent a
telephone message to Mr.. Shadweli, vino
is stationed at the office Of the Washing
ton aqueduct, at 272S Pennsylvania ave-
nue., telling him that there was u lire
somewhere up the Conduit road -
He later sent d similar message to the NJ
street engine house, and steamer was
sent up the Conduit road as far as the first
reservoir No one could tell the firenen the
location Of the fire, and, not seeing any
smoke, the engine was brought back to the
city.
In the meantime the fire was extin
suisheG hy those at the school. and In n
measure order was restored.
The inmates OF tie school were counted
and the following were found to be miss
ing: Susie Rose, Alberta Gibson, anna
Kennedy, Lizzie Gowan and Mary TIL
man, aged about sixteen years each.
was said that they were going toward the
Conduit road when last seen.
The police at No. precinct station. In
Georgetown, were notified. and the offic ers
along the conduit road and at the edge Of
the city were instructed TO use especial
vigilance to capture the runaways Mount
ed Officer ] E Heide spent the early part
of the evening at the school TO prevent
further trouble
The fugitive girls are mostly from South
Washington, and it is believed that they
are lurking near the city, watching their
chance to enter. They were all attired In
the gingham dresses that are worn by the
inmates OF the rrfoFm school

MASTER PLUMBERS OBJECT
Do Not Like a Rule Adopted by the
Commissioners.
Question Their Power to Compel
the Use OF a Partic ular
Kind of Stop Cock.

A special meetingof the Master Plumbers
Association was held last night for the
purpose OF protesting against the rule
recently adopted by the CommiSs ioners re-
qHirinG that all stop cocks be boug ht from
the water department.
The association questions very mach the
authority of the Board of Comnaissic ners
20 place such an obligation upon them,
and at the close of the meeting it was
decided TO employ a competent law yer
70 look into the law upon the sub jecr and
see II the Commissioners have not ex-
eeeded their authority in the premises
The plumbers contend that while th e
authorities have the power 30 prescribe
certain stop cock and say that either it
or one equal 30 1t must be used, they hav o
not the right either equi5ably or legally
TO pick out one particular pattern and
make monopoly Of its sale.
Especially in the form in which the ordi-
nance is 80 go into force, they claim il viii
work great inconvenience. Under the old
rule enacted by former Engineer Commits
sioner Powell, they could purchase a stock
of stop cocks and have them on hand.
AS the la W now stands, however, they are
and state with every purcha sc IN what
house it is to be used and all particulars.
Furthermore, whereas they formerly traded
with wholesale houses on account, they
now have to pay cash for each one.
A protest also went up in the meeting
against the new plnmbing board provided
for In bin submitted to Congress by the
commissioners. This board, it is ella Sned.
VIII FIJI no useful purpose, but will mere.
Iy give ALI additional salary of $500 a
year to the three District employees who. /,
is provided. shall form part of the member
ship of five
The fact that the District stiH charges
S3 for the water taps, which cost them
only so cents-no reduction in the price
to the plumbers having been made in thirty
years, notwithstanding the cheapening ot
the wholesale price-was made the sub ieet
of further unfavorable Comment
In fact, the Association of Master
Plumbers opposes very strenuousIy the
whole policy of the District engineer de-
partment as regards plumbing and plumb
ers They allege that all the new orders
promulgated ard proposed will cause, us
result an extra expense and trouble
TO the plumbers The brunt, they claim.
of 1t all will eventually fall upon the
public, and they are only making a fight
in the interests of their clients.
Commissioner Black was seen last night
AMI said rasard riding the stop-coek ordinance
that the District has had a great deal of
trouble lately With leaks In service pipes
caused by defective stop cocks They
found that no stop cock on the market
could correct that evil and had one made
which taey adopted exclusively. They fur
nish them TO the plumbers at per cent
over the cost price This Is only to pa v
the cost OF handling. The District does
aot wish to make profit out of the stop
cocks, but only to stop the enormous leak
age.
