THE GREAT STEAMSHIP
FIRE.

The appalling loss Of life and property
caused by the fire at the North German
Lloyd Company's piers at Hoboken, n.
j., on Saturday is without parallel in this
county. Three steel steamships were de-
stroycd and another was damaged Many
persons were burned to death, while scores
were drowned. 1t is believed that fully
200 persisted Property of the estimated
value of $4,000, 900 was consumed by the
flames. Altogether the fire was the most
destructive ever known III the piers and
shipping of New York There has been
greater loss of life at sea in recent wears
from disasters to ocean liners, notably in
the case of the Bourgogne But the ships
which were destroyed in the harbor of
New York on Saturday were at their piers
taking on cargo, and presumably in the
they had been steamiEg in midocean they
could scarcely have burned more quick

were caught like rats in trap, and
although some of the men escaped others

ly the docks of Hoboken, in the light of
Saturdays disaster, are not as well pro-
tected against fire as they should be other
wise such a disaster as occurred there in
broad daylight would hardly have been
possible. With great mass of infam-
mable material on the piers such precau-
lions shoald be taken at all times as would

should be little chance of such catas-
trope as that which occurred in New York
harbor. The delay in moving the ships
from the piers after the fire began was
partly the cause of the loss of life on
board the vessels Perhaps it was impos-
sible to get them away from the burning
docks more quickly than was done. But
with the flames spreading from pier to
pier and every Indication. that the pro-
gress of the fire on the docks could not
be checked, it appears that tugs were not
available until too late to move the vessels
out of reach of the flames. In view of the
circumstances attending the appalling
disaster it is doubtful whether adequate
provision has been made at the greatest
port i'll the United States for the safety of
its shipping and piers B gilmore S"p.

GOVERNOR SMITH POPULAR

The Kansas City correspondent of
the Baltimore San of yesterday said ::
Governor Smith is very favorably
received as candidate for the Vice
Presidency and it is beloved by far
sighted men that his nomination or
that Of Mr.. Hill would nullify vast
amount of party difference.
Late at night the candidacy of
Governor Smith has assumed serious
proportions. He has received offers of
support from many of the Southern
States, whose delegates take kindly to
the idea of Maryland man on the
ticket. West Virginia and some of
the Northern States have also offered
support.
1t has now come to a question with
the Governor whether he intends to
make a contest or whether he ought
10 accept the nomination if offered.
lie says the nomination is great
honor to any man and he would ap-
prcciatc it, but the question of cxpe-
dlency exists 1t is believed by the
conservatives that the nomination Of a
man for icr-Prcsilent who will Eclp
to bring back to the party the clement
which refused to vote for Bryan and
the Chicago platform in 1896, and
without which vote the party will

and intensely black hair confined by
nets or cauls; others had only Bar

heads. The spots of blood upon these
together with several patches and dis

consisted only of red or blue shirts
and dirty canvas trousers. was rather

Before the time Of bells various in
struments were used to summon con-
gregations to worship. In Egypt they
are said to have followed a Jewish
custom in using a trumpet In some
oeiental churches a kind Of rattle
gave the signal. In monasteries monks
took it in turns TO go round the cells
calling the inmates TO their devotions
by knocking with a hammer, which
was called the awakening instru-
ment." Bells of one kind or another
are. however, OF very great antiquity.

monies by many of the anesent nations
