TIE craft was scuttled to prevent her de-
struction ard TO extinguish the flames. She
lies in 20 feet of waite.
The cause of the accident is a mystery
at present. the victims being unable to give
a clear account of just what happened.
They say there was an explosion without
any apparent reason. and a great sheet OF
flame shot up from below deck. where two
men were. carrying matches and everything
in the way with IL. The FIRE was not long
in communicating itself to the ether parts
of the Vagabond.
1t happened that Mrs. Gibson and Mr.
Folger. 4 guest. were just preparing 20
so ashore when the explosion occurred.
They were standing within an arms length
of the hatch cover when it blew Of and
the flames enveloped them.
Policemen on Riverside drive saw the
great sheet of flame and realizing the grav-
ity of the situation. at once sent for ambu-
!ances. In n few minutes after this mem
bers of the Columbia Yacht Club. among
whom were several women. had cleared
away small boats from the club float and

Washington Centre Market The
District Commissioners on Tuesday received
from Corporation Counsel A. b. Duvall a
legal opinion in which he holds that the
present use and occupation OF the sidewalks
and roadway on B street, from Seventh to
Thirteeth street northwest, for market pur-
poses, is justified because of its temporary
character, its long-contiuued history, and Its
absolute necessity for public convenience.
The opinion was rendered in view Of a
motion made by Commissioner mcfarland
some time since that 1t be determined what
is the authority of the Commissioners to
allow this space 10 be used for market pur.
poses, and whether persons selling produce
of their own raising have the exclusive
right to occupy it, and II not, what are the
rights of other sellers. The opinion con.
cludes as follows:
ain view of all the circumstances, | am oil
the opinion that the provisions of section ID
article 4, of the police regulations giving the
exclusive right of occupancy TO persons sell
ing produce Of their own raising on the
north side of b street, between Tenth ant
Twelfth streets, and on the south side of B
street, between Seventh and Twelfth streets
are maintainable.
"B street, from Twelfth TO Thirteenth
street, not being included in the above men
toned police regulations, equal privilege o
occupancy rs between farmers and othe
sellers OF produce, &c, may be accorde'
there"
