New York, July EVERY pier and
all the dock property of the North
German Lloyd Steamship company,
covering over 1000 feet of the Ho-
bolzen water front, beteween Second
and Fourth streets, was destroyed by
fire Saturday afternoon. OF the four
ships lying at the piers when the fire
started, one, the Maine, was burned
to the waters edge, and two others,
the Saale and the Bremen, were so
badly damaged that as to the Saale
little but her hull remains, and as to
the Bremen, nothing can make her
seryiceable as freight and passenger
steamer until she has been practical
" rebuilt. Fire in bale of cotton
on pier 3, the most southerly of the
four piers belonging to the North
German Lloyd line, started the con-
fagration.
Two Hundred Persons KILLED
New York, June s-The losses sus-
tanned in the fire at the docks of the
pany in Hobol1en yesterday were last
night conservatively placed at nearly
$1O,00O,O00; the loss of life, which is
merely guess work at even this late
hour, will reach probably as high as
200, and there are over 800 men in
and there are over 300 men in the
the hospitals in this city, Hoboken and
Jersey City badly burned. Up to II
o'clock last night IS bodies had been
recovered.
Late last night Gustave Schwab,
the general agent OF the North Ger
manLloyd line, gave out a list show
ing what men on each vessel had been
missing up to thai hour. On the
Saale 255 men were employed and only
127 of these had been accounted for
up to II o'clock, leaving IS men ac-
tually employed as officers, sailors,
stewards, engineers. coal passers, oil
erS and trimmerS to be accounted for.
The Bremen had 2O4 men on board,
but only 1877 of these have been found.
The Main had 1877 employees on board
at the time, and of these only 76 have
been reported safe. n spectacular
but horrible sight was presented yes
terday. Where two days ago, piers
reached hundreds of feet out into
the river and rose like great hills
alive with outgoing and incoming
commerce, lay great waste of burn
ing and smoldering beams, with
here and there a remnant of a high
brick wall. The three immense piers
of the North German-Lloyd line were
burned to the waters ripple, the
Thingyalla pier lay smoldering, and
a part of the neutrality-suspicious.
pier, which had just been added to
their great piers, were in ruins. Four
large storehouses of the Palmer
Campbell company are wrecked, and
they, with the piers, went to make
up the appalling mass of debris,
smoking, sizzling and steaming. It
covers over four city blocks and
reaches out into the river for over
| 1000 feet. Streams of water are be-
ing pumped upon the ruins, and
workmen are poling about for bodies.
! The loss of life Will probably prove
| greatest when the wreck of the Saale
| has been searched. Already a num-
| Der of bodies have been taken off
and as soon as the fire in the hold
has subsidized there is every probable
ity that many bodies will be found
below decks.

When two pet animals are kept in

is Il monkey, the other is much to be
pitied. A cat-and-dog life is perfect
peace compared with the wretched
dance monkey once led a poor tor

shell, but every time he put in his
paws his fingers were sharply bitten.
By and by, however, he found out
that when the tortoise was turned
upside down it was helpless, and
from that moment the creature
knew no quiet. AS often as the mon
key could get at it, it was promptly
placed on its back. Often this hap

.A BAN PLACED ON
 DAILY DEMOCRAT Union Printers Ordered Out of
 O'Keefe's Office, PUBLISHERS OF THE PAPER Birmingham Typographical Union No. 1O4 Demanded Discontinuance of Use ofK. of L. Printers La
 bel, Which Was Refused
PUBLISHERS OF THE PAPER

Birmingham Typographical Union No. 1o4 has declared the office of "A J. o'keefe X Co.,, publishers of the Daily Democrat, an afternoon paper started since the open ing of the political campaign, as an unfair shop and has ordered it's members out.
 The action was brought about by the refusal of the publishers to discontinue the use of the Knights of Labor Printers Label, which is being printed in connee- tion with the label of the typographical union.
 MT. O'Keelfe, one of the members of the firm is Grand Master Workman of the Alabama division of the Knights of Labor which is a separate organization from the American Federation of Labor, with which the International Typographical union is affiliated.
 O'Keefe was until recently a member of the typographical union, but on account of certain charges preferred by the United Mine Workers, was expelled from mem- bership.
 In discussing the matter last night, Allen M. Holt, president of Birmingham Typo graphical Union No. 104, said
 We have ordered our men out Of O'Keefe's shop, because he refused to dis continue the use of the Knights of Labor label, which organization we consider as antagonistic to union labor affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.
 ''The action. was taken in the interest or our orgamzat ton, and we shall see that that action is strictly enforced until our demands are compiled with, which means that no member of our union will be allow ed to work in the shop"
 An effort was made to interview MT. o'Keefe last night, but he could not be found by the reporter.

LYCEUM COURSE
Closes Tonight With Dr. Henson at

The last entertainment of the Iyceum course this season will be the lecture by Dr. Henson at Seals hall at S:15 tonight pr. Henson nas long been famous as pastor of the First Baptist church of Chicago. He is an orator, philosopher and wit His subject tonight win probably be 'sThe Better Half" He lectured here at the southside Baptist church a few years ago. His subject then was Fools" The admission tickets read Lecture by P. S. Henson on Fools-Admit One" The lec- ture was full of philosophy and humor, and kept the large audience interested and laughing for two hours.
 The admission tonight will be 50 cents, and tickets can be had today at Seals music store, or tonight at the hall box office when the doors open at 7:3O No seats Will be reserved for either members or non-members, but all will select their seats as they come.
 The lyeeum membership this season dtd net grow rto the size expected and conse- quently the two last entertainments of the course engaged-Hamilton w. Mabie and Father D. J. Stafford-had to be dropped. The membership this year reached about
 
 seasons but the course engaged was more expensive than before. One number, the Fadette's Woman Orchestra which was at the opera house in November, cost $500. Every lecture of the course except one has cost $1OO or more.
 No personal canvass has ever been made for lyceum members. AM who have joined have done so of their own seeking. It is probable that canvass to personally so- licit members will obtain a much larger membership and H. K. White, who has been the lyceum secretary and treasurer, has plan to build up a much larger iyceum for another season. He is now sending out circulars to that end, and hopes the responses will be prompt and liberal. If So, another lyceum course of fifteen numbers will probably be started next month, and three or four entertain- ments given before warm>~veajther The balance can be gwen next fall and win ter.
