At 10 O'CLOCK last night there was an
alarm of fire for blaze at the wharf al
Mission and Steuart streets. A scow
schooner had caught fire and was burn
ing merrily. 1t was not so much for the
scow. however, that apprehension was be-
ing felt, but because a gasoline launch,
with her tank full and ready to blow up,
was moored alongside in such a position
that she could not be readily moved. She
was finally got away and then the blaze
on the scow was extinguished.

ARE QUIBBLING.
Over An Extra Mile From
Their Books.

Webster, March 4.-The local hold
ers of mileage books are protesting
against the recent action of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford rail-
road in tearing an additional mile on
the trip to Worcester from their books.
The distance is, as recorded on the
time tables, 16 ITO miles. The fare
charged is 40 cents when a through
ticket is purchased at either office,
which is at the rate of 21s cents a mile
The local owners of mileage books
are incensed over the recent action of
the company, but there is no way out
of it for them. 1t is suggested that
they build little road of their own
to Worcester, and thus get square with
the company.
What is worrying them is that while
rate of II miles is charged them on
mileage books to and from Worcester
the rate is not changed when purchas-
ing a regular ordinary ticket at the
ticket office, either in Worcester or in

Cleaving the sky,

Upward I fly;
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer my God, 10 Thee
Nearer to Thee!
