A Close Call.

The American bark Adam w. Spies
Captaio Godett, came near going up
in flames shortly after midnight last
night as she lay alongside the Rail-
road wharf where for several days
she has been unloading railroad iron
from the East for the o. r. & L. Co.
An alarm was given by the crew Of
the Spies shortly after IL and was
Immediately taken up by the war
ships in port aud 3 OF the merchant
marine, Capt. Thompson of the r.
P. Rithet, Capt Curtis Of the Title
E. Starbuck and Mate Men lcholas
OF the Martha Davis with their crews
went quickly to the aid of skipper
Godett Of the Spies. They found
matters quite serious and much ex-
oitement prevailing aboard the
smoking vessel. Mate McNIcholss
proved himself the "man of the
hour" Slipping down the main
hatch and barking his shins as he
did so he discovered the FIRE to be
coming from the hold ia the after
hatch among the ships dunnage.
He was on deck in a twinkling and
with pump. hose and willing volun-
teers soon had salt water playing on
the burning lumber. The fire was
under control in half an hour and
extinguished one hour after the
alarm. Capt. Godett is unable to
explain how the FIRE originated nor
does he believe that any of the ships
crew would be guilty of incendiarism
Great praise is due the men of the
Baltimore, Bennington and Adams
and the sailors OF the vessels named
for their prompt action, cool cour-
age and excellent judgment. The
bark Adam w. Spies is safe to day
and Capt. Godett is thankful to his
friends and especially to Captain
Thompson of the II. p. Rithet

the best suited.
Major Parke's promotion does not
increase his salary or rank. 1t divorces
him entirely from his regiment, of
course and 1t may be he will be as
signed to some other brigade. The
chances, though. are that ne will be
continued on General Gobin's STAFF,
where he has been serving, as that
place has been kept open by Colonel
Girard in the expectation that Major
Parke would be assigned to it. The
further fact that General Goblin will

STRIPES FOR wORMSER.
Acting Commissary Sergeant Worm
ser will in all likelihood be wearing
stripes in the course of a few days.
Friday last President Mckinley signed
the bill creating the office of regimental
commssary sergeant and providing
for the appointment of one for each
regiment or separate command. He
was not included in the provisions of
the Hull organization bill. but it's ne
cessity was established by experience,
and upon the recommendation of the
military affairs committee, congress
forthwith made provision for 1t. The
work OF the office bears the same reA-
tion to the commissariat as that of
quartermaster sergeant does to the
quartermaster's department. Up to
this time man was detailed as a clerk
to the commissary to look after the
duties of the office.
The office called for extra labor and
skill and to ask private to do it for
the lowest salary paid a soldier was
deemed unjust, and the consequence
was the creation of the new sergeancy.
Private Wormser, who has been filling
the office with exceptional ability, is to
be continued in the place.
