FIRE ABOARD A STEAMER.
Rats Ignite Matches in Pantry Room
of George Il. Starr.

A rats tooth came near causing the
destruction by fire of the La Conner
Transportation and Trading Company's
steamer George f. Starr as she lay on
the face of the White Star dock at an
early hour yesterday morning. Smoke
and flames resulting from the ignition
of a box of matches piled in one corner
of the pantry room We're discovered by
the night Waterman of the vessel. BY
the time the Waterman could organize a
bucket brigade the fire had eaten well into
the walls of the compartment. but being
confined, was extinguished by a dozen
buckets of salt water.
At the time the wind was blowing gale,
and had the flames gained any Roadway
the result would have been disastrous.
As II was, SIS will cover the damage.

the market from now on is entirely spec
ulative.
The listed figures of mills shut down
give total of 100000 shingles taken
on the market daily or about 500 900,
amounting to upward of 5000 car loads
during the season of closing. As the
vote is still being taken it is believed
that the ratio will further be increased
and that fully 80 per cent. ofthe output
will be closed for greater or smarter
portion Of the winter The close-down

to have the desired effect.

FAILED TO FIND HER SON.
A Mothers Search for Her BOY Ends
in Disappointment

BALTIMORE. March 25-The search
of a mother for a son and a son for a
mother was brought 10 a pathetic culmi-
nation in this city. Both parties Travelled
all the way from Chicago 10 Baltimore in
hopes of being happily reunited. only to be
sadly disappointed. Mrs. Katherine KaufT-
man has for years been looking for her boy
John. He enlisted during the Spanish war
and is now supposed to be in the Philip
pines.
The mother came to this city in hopes
of finding her son, only to be informed that
he was in Chicago. She advertised in the
papers there and the appeal was brought to
the notice of John Kaufman a German,
twenty-three years old, who last saw his
mother in Philadelphia three years ago.
John FASTENED to Baltimore and went at
once to the house where his supposed
mother was staying. When the door was
opened the young man was soon smothered
in caresses. He saw at once that the little
old woman in whose arms he fell was nor
his mother but, being tired. hungry, home
less, and without money, he eagerly ac-
cepted the food offered him without telling
of the mistake. He was given a room
where he went to sleep.
After a while Mrs. Kaufman. in order to
assure herself. thought of birthmark on
her boys foot. She made an investigation
and. failing to find the mark, became fright
ened and called in the police. Before the
magistrate Mrs Kaufman changed her
mind and declared the man to be her son.
John, however, stuck 10 the truth and told
of the mistake. He remained with his
would-be mother overnight and today start
ed West
