THREE SMALL BRIGANDs.

The Seattle (Wash.) correspondent
Of the Chicago Inter Ocean is authority

closely the example of the Bulgarian
brigands who abducted Miss Ellen
Stone, three North Seattle small boys
the other day held two citizens in dur
ance vile for several hours because
they refused to pay ransom to obtain
their liberty. The victims of the I'M

A Game for Two.

Once upon time young gentleman
and a younger lady were alone in q
bright parlor in front of a cheerful
open fire, with table between them,
playing cards. As they continued to
play and chat the table was not so
much between them, for they both got
nearer the fire and played the game on
one corner of the table.
They had started in to play eucher,
but after an hour and half they found
that they were playing hearts.
Moral-We are not always sure what
the game is.-St. Louis Republic.

FIRE AMONG SHIPPING
Phoenix Line Pier and Several
Vessels Burned at Hoboken.
THE LOSS WILL REACH 100000

Flames Spread Rapidly and Drove
stevedores and Sailors to the Street,
Some of Whom Probably Perished.
Captains Strange Life Raft.
New York, March ia swift, and
In many of its details. picturesque IRE.
last night destroyed the pier of the
Phoenix Steamship Line on the Ho-
boken, N. j., river front, with many
bales Of cotton and hay, burned that
company's vessel the British Queen,
to hulk; consumed seven lighters
and their cargoes; damaged a dock
belonging to the Barber Steamship
Line, and for time threatened the
property OF the Holland-American
Line and the huge Campbell stores
The loss, according to estimates, will
approximate s1,000,ooO.
The Phoenix line pier was a wooden
structure, 300 feet long. covered with
a frame shed. On this were many
bales Of hay and cotton. which burned
with the utmost rapidity. How the
IRE started is not known. Some state
ments are that Il started In the British
Queen; others that il had it's origin
at the end of the pier. At all events.
with but the barest warning, the flames
burst out, quickly licking up the pier
and the cotton upon ii, and driving the
stevedores and sailors to the street.
for the vessel was being unioaded,
having arrived here Friday from Ant
werp, cotton laden. The fire Jared
up from the steamer with as great sud
denness as upon the pier, and since the
vessel was made fast to the pier and
could not be backed out, lighters and
other water craft which lay along
side Of her. some OF them holding such
inflammable stun as oil cakes, quickly
caught fire too.
The captain OF the lighter iona
wanda saved himself, his wife and his
child by pushing a cotton bale into
the water. placing his family and him
self upon II and padding his strange
life raft into the river. The stiff wind.
which had blown all day, gave impe-
tus to the fire, whose glare redeemed
the North river for n long distance.
Cattle pens upon the upper decks OF
the British Queen were the first part
of her consumed, but presently her
hull was aflame.
From the Phoenix line pier the
flames spread to the pier of the Barber
line and then to the steamer Heath
burn of the company, newly arrived
from Hong Kong, China, with a cargo
OF tea.
While the conilagration was at it's
height rumors were rife that several
men had persisted. It was tolerably
certain that Chief Engineer Scott of
the British Queen, was burned to
death on her, and that a sailor named
Jansen met the same fate. One OF
the men who escaped says that he
saw several men leap into the water
when the steamer became enveloped
in fire, and he saw few, II any, of these
rescued. The Quartermaster of the
ruined ship said that the crew were in
her forecastle, and he surmised that
If all escaped they did so with diff
Guilty. Nevertheless, some of the Brit
ish Queens officers said last night
they were quite assured that all were
safe save Engineer Scott. It is not
unlikely that some of the longshore-
men and stevedores who swarmed
about the vessel may still have to be
accounted for.

Anne hill led to their capture and sub
sequent Imprisonment. Wells and
Knapp visited the standpipe to inspect
its interior before it had been com
pleted. They entered the structure
through steel door in it's side. While
they were engrossed in their explora-
tons they were suddenly plunged into
darkness. A hurried investigation re-
vealed the fact that they were pris-
oners.
A youthful voice from the outer
world commanded in imperious tones
that ten dollars be paid at once as the
price of their freedom. In vain did the
prisoners parley. Each overture was
met with derision and z repetition of
the original demand for ransom.
After fully an hours parley Wells
and Knapp grew nervous and desper-
ate. They searched their prison for
some means Of escape. A circular bit
OF blue sky, seen at the top of a cylin-
der of steel 100 feet in height, held out
slight hope of freedom, and soon scat
tering drops of rain from the opening
above foretold the probability of an
added discomfort. At last, after con-
siderable exploration of the bottom of
the tank, Wells found an old pickax.
Taking turns, he and his fellow pris-
oner made heroic onslaughts on the
steel door which shut them in.
Finally the door began to show signs
OF yielding. Stripped of all surplus
clothing and bathed in persipration,
the prisoners inserted the pick into a
small aperture. Their united efforts
burst the hinges Of their cell door and
they once more breathed the air of
freedom.
