SAVED THE SHIP.

Firemnn's Presence OF Mind AVERT
cd an Awful Calamity.
A second-class fireman serving on
one of the smaller U. S. cruisers had
his head about him when the maya
zine of his ship was threatened, few
years ago, and he has had the much
better rating of a water-tender ever
since. One Of his shipmates of the
black gang was cleaning his section Of
the after engine-room bilges one morn
ing. His particular section of the
bilges was on the starboard side of the
extreme after part of the engine-room.
Immediately aft of the engine-room
was the ships magazine, separated
from the engine-room by steel partl-
ton. Bilges are cleaned with turpen-
tine-soaked waste. The bilge-cleaner,
too lazy to fill one of the small tur-
pentine cans provided for the purpose,
dragged a five-gallon can of turpen-
tine to his bilge station and began
work. Smoking Is strictly prohibited
in the engine-rooms of man-of-war,
on account of the large amount OF
combustible stores necessarily slowed
below. This bilge-cleaner was q reck.
less sort of blade. however, and when
he had got his bilge-cleaning under
way he took out his pipe and lit 1t,
carelessly chucking the match in the
bilge. There was some turpentine In
bilge, and the match, still aglow, set
it into flame. The bilge-cleaner
jumped to his feet, and in doing so
he overturned the five gallons of tur-
pentine. Then the bilge was converted
into a roaring mass of flame that shot
to the berth-deck gratings and played
directly against the steel bulkhead
separating the engine-room from the
magazine. The careless bilge-cleaner
was scorched, and he bolted for the
spar deck yelling like mailman. The
second-class fireman with the head on
him was the only other man in the
after engine-room at the time this hap
pened. He made jump for the bilge-
covers that had been removed by his
reckless mate, and, although severely
burned while doing it, he thrust them
over the bilges.. Then he seized O
wrench and knocked open one of the
intakes from the sea, letting water
directly into the bilge that was in
flames. The water came in so rapidly
that it knocked the bilge-covers off,
but it drowned the fire. There was
more than foot of water In the en-
gine-rooms before the intake could
be closed again, but that was small
matter compared with what might
have happened had the hot turpentlne
flame Tapped the magazine bulkhead
much longer. BY the time fire quart
ers was sounded and the men on deck
got down below the second-class fire.
man, with his hair and eyebrows all
burned off and the skin peeling from
his face and hands, was throwing
bucketful after bucketful of the incom-
ing sea water against the steel bulk.
head. which was already so hot that
1t sent back clouds of steam.

A BLESSING.
Spain Has Been Fortunate in
Losing Colonies.
Barcelona Merchant Thinks Spain Will
Now Become Prosperous Nation.
Also that United States Will Have Considerab e
Trouble in Philippines.

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 2.-Louis Esteye,
a member of a prominent firm of grain
and cotton importers of Barcelona,
Spain. was a visitor at the Merchant S
Exchange in this city. He dwelt IN
terestingly on the subject of the late
war as viewed from Spanish stand
point In the course of his remarks
he said:
Il was in Barcelona, which is one
of the leading cities of Spain, during
the entire war and had opportunity to
study the situation in my country. /
am firmly convinced that the loss Of
our colonies will in the end, prove d
blessing to Spain.
with good government Spain will
now be more prosperous than for
many years. as her colonies have been
more or less a burden than a blessing
for some time, and the people will be
forced to develop the vast resources at
home which have been neglected in
the endeavor to make as much as pos
sible out of the colonies.
THE Philippines were really not of
much benefit to Spain. as the COM
merce Of those island were controlled
by England and Germany, and Spain's
business with the islands was COM
paratively light-how light you may
judge from the fact that there was
only one steamer month between
Spain and Manila. These islands We're
really burden, and 1 don't envy the
United States the acquisition of them
Americans living in Spain were IN
no more danger than Spaniards in the
United States and I know of two
American families in Barcelona who
suffered no inconvenience.
Il am afraid that the United States
will have considerable trouble with
the Philippines and will regret having
taken them away from Spain.'

guine ve,7 manifested on the London
Exchange of the future value of Ameri-

ture of that market and were marked up
quite sharply before the opening here.
The countermanding of orders for engage

The effect in the New York market of

became semi-stagn ant.
The anticipation ,of a poor fourth week

Two Freight Trains Crash Together = One
Breakman Burned to Death.

Athol, Mass, Dec. Two east bound
freight trains running together on the
Fftchburg Railroad collided near Roy
alston, just before l o'clock, this morn
ing. The caboose of the leading train
which was run into by the locomotive
OF the rear train, was set ON fire ana
Brakeman F. w. Knight of Williams
town, who was unable to escape, was
burned to death. The two trains were
connected by ''pusher." The accident
was caused by the cylinder head of the
first locomotive blowing out and set
ting the brakes, while the second
trains speed was not reduced The
second engine struck the caboose with
a tremendous crash and plowed
through 1t half it's length
Brakeman Knight was pinned in the
wreck which caught fire and in spite of
desperated efforts which were made to
relieve the unfortunate man he was
burned to death. Several cars left the
rails but none except the caboose badly
damaged. The damage to the locomo-
tive was not serious and no one else
was injured. The tracks were cleared
by daylight and traffic was resumed by
the day trains on schedule time The
property loss is insignificant.
