STRANDED STEAMER RUSSIA.
Eut Little Chance of Any of the
Ninety Lives on Board
Being saved.

Marseilles, Jan. 9.-Dispatches from
the village of Framan, near which
the French mail steamer Russie, from
Gran, Algeria, stranded Monday, in q
violent storm, with 80 passengers and
q crew of 40 OF board, say that all eff
forts to reach the steamer have failed,
owing to the tremendous height of
the seas which are running. The pilot
boats and torpedo boats which have
attempted to reach the steamer have
been unable to battle with the waves
and have returned. The only hope
seems to be in the ability of ~life-sav-
esr to throw a line over the Russie
as h wrecked vessel is driven closer
to the shore. The f%orecastle and part
of the forward deckhouse are all the
vessel above the water. The beach
was lined all night with watchers.
Lights were seen on board the

THE FRILLS.
Report of a Church Wedding by an
Editor Who DiscOuntenancex
ErIppery.

An editor who was thoroughly tired of
the foolishness that. goes on at a church
wedding, finally got even as follows, says
the Atchison Globe man: They were
married in great style. All the elite of the
town were invited, principally because it
was thought that they would be more likely
to bring elegant presents for the bride.
OF course, the ceremony took place in
the church, and the church was most beau
tlfully decorated for the occasion. Potted
plants were borrowed here and there,
wherever. they could be secured without
making the owner mad enough to fight.
The brides young lady friends had the
decorations in charge, and when they were
not making nosegays they were chewing the
rag about the trouble and work, and wish
ing that the bride had sense enough to get
up her own wedding. The ushers wore
ci~aw-hammer coats, parted; their hair in
the. middle and stepped high when they
walked down the aisle. The coats were
hired from a costumer, and their white
gloves came from an undertaker's, who kept
them on hand for funeral. occasions.
1T was a ring ceremony. The ring was a
monstrous gold band borrowed of the vii
lage jeweler. People called the bride love
~, but she was so homely that hollyhocks
wouldn't grow in the dooryard where she
lived. The bridegroom was dressed in con-
ventional black, SO called because his father
once wore the coat to a democratic con-
yention. The presents were simply ele-
CANT. They came from people who couldn't
afford to hire the. washing done or buy
bakers bread. Then after a 'sumptuous
wedding supper the bride and groom went
TO st. Louis on their wedding tour, where
they spent more money in "a hours than
both of them can earn in a month"

II LIGHTED UP BROOKLYN.
An Early Morning Fire In the Erie
Basin Front That Started
Mysteriously.
Boards SHIPPING STORES SUFFERED.
The steamer Idlewild Burned to the
waters Edge and n Couple Of
Lighters DestrOyed-The Tramp
st. Dunstan Had n Close
CaII-I.oss, $5OO,OOO.

New York, Jan. 9.-In an early
morning fire in the Erie Basin front
that lighted up south Brooklyn.
Boards shipping stores, at the foot
of Richards street, were partly de-
stroyed, an excursion steamer, the
Idlewild, was burned to the water's
edge; one firemtn was injured, and
close upon so seamen narrowly es-
caper with their lives. The loss is es-
timated at 100000.
OF Mysterious Origin.
The fire started, no one knows how.
on board the Idlewild about one
o'clock. The steamer was lying Just
inside the breakwater, from which
Joint she drifted, as soon as she was
cut loose, directly across the Erie
basin and up against one of Boards
pier heads. In a very short time the
big covered pier, where jute and cot
ton were stored in bales was in
flames from piling to roof.
Fire Department Responded Quickly
The fire department responded
quickly. The Brooklyn fire boats, the
David Body and the Seth Low, went
to the fire and found more room to
work when the steamship Coya, which
recently arrived from Callao, was cut
adrift from the burning shed and
worked outside into the basin. There
her crew, having set the pumps work
ing, fought the flames with the deck
hose. and before long had the fire un-
der control.
The St. Dunstan's Close Call.
On the other side of the pier was
lying the tramp steamer st. Dunstan,
from Liverpool, with a cargo of fruit
and sugar. Her crew hurried on deck
when the Idlewild banged alongside,
rushed over the side and managed to
get ashore, while the fire boats took
care of the abandoned ship, quenched
the flames after her deck house had
caught fire and her port side was bad
ly blistered, and then set her adrift.
burned to the Waters Edge.
The Idlewild meanwhile had burned
to the waters edge, and a couple of
lighters also had been destroyed. Fire
tugs and engine companies were
pouring their streams into the burn
ing stores, but the water was swal-
lowed up in steam, and the best that
could be done was to keep the edge
OF the burning pier drenched and pre-
vent the fire from spreading.
BY four o'clock the flames had died
down to n shoulder in the bales and
debris that had settled upon the
piling.
