SAVED FROM A BURNING VESSEL.
Ship Francis Burned to the Waters
Edpe OIL JerSeY,S Coast.


Beach Haven, N. j., May 10.-The
ship Francis, under command of Cap
tain A. f. Smith, and with crew of
25 men, which left San Francisco on
Jan. II last with general cargo bound
for New York, took fire at sea Satur-
day, and in order to save the lives of
those on board the ship was beached
on the south end of Long Branch, six
miles below here. at o'clock Saturday
night. The captain and crew reached
shore safely, and were taken care of
by the crew of the Little Egg Harbor
life saving station. The vessel burned
TO the waters edge, and together with
the cargo, will prove total loss.
The fire was first discovered about
4 o'clock in the afternoon, and was
burning flercely In the hold. All hands
were ordered on deck, and manned TO
extinguish the flames. They had, how
ever, gained too much headway, and
1t was as much as the men could do
to prevent the fire gaining so rapidly
on them as to necessitate their taking
to the boats on the open sea- The cap
tain saw that his only hope lay in
reaching shore, where he could possibly
have a chance of saving the ship and
part of the cargo. With this in view
he headed the Francis towards the
beach, and all the while the crew kept
pouring water into the hold. 1t was
well after dark, and the position of
the men on board was perilous in the
extreme, when the breakers were heard
ahead, and with her bow pointed well
on the shore the ship struck hard and
fast. Meanwhile the fire was raging
even more furiously than before, and
all hands were forced to leave with
nothing but the clothes on their backs.

NEW CASTLE NEWS.
Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN,
NEW CASTLE, May 10, 1897.

The first collision on the trolley road took
place last evening at Sixth and South.
Two cars were at the outer station and
one was ordered to the barn and tho other
to Wilmington. At Sixth and South the
first car stopped to take aboard two pas
sengors and the second car collided. The
force of the collision shattered the win
dows and five ladies who were in the cars
tainted Ono of the five, it is feared, will
be sometime getting over the shock.
A good superintendent is needed for the
road who knows how close to run trolley
cars. If orders were disobeyed then tho
crew should be properly disciplined.
On Saturday afternoon at Battery Park
n game of ball between the c. A. G. Jrs.,
and the Rockford Jrs. was played.
The former won by score Of Is to 8.
Brdgewater pitched for the Colmbias, and
Magnnis, after pitching six innings for
the Rockfords, gave way to Maloney.
They all pitched u fair game considering
the support given them. Maloney was
hit hard in the seventh inning.

run was productive of another run, and
