On Fire Again.

The old tenement house on the north
cast corner oe Cameron and Fairfax
streets was on fire again between eight
and nine o'clock last nighttime nItn
time inside of thirty-six hours. The
fire last night was in the roof OF the back
part of the building on the Cameron
street side and for time it seemed that
the old landmark was doomed to de-
struction. Pending the arrival of the
engines, Chief Pettey and several police
men went through the building and pre-
vailed on the occupants to get into the
street. By the time every one was out
the engines were pouring four sreams
of water into the place, and the
conflagration was finally checked,
but not before considerable damage had
been done by both fire and water. Last
nights fire started in the roof over the
part of the building occupied by Ernest
Craven. his wife and two children: The
family was in the front part and kne"
nothing of their danger until they were
warned by Chief Pettey. Both OF MI
Craven's children are i'll, and had 70 p'

The Steamer Jane Moseley

Rear Admiral Silas w. Terry, COM
mandant of the Washington navy yard,
has forwarded to the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia copies of COM
munications relative to the trouble to
navigation caused by the mooring of the
old river steamer Jane Moseley at a
narrow place in the channel of the
Eastern Branch of the Potomac river.
He asks that the owners of the old YES
sci be required by the commissioners to
have the vessel removed at once. Lewis
Jefferson, manager of the steamer Jane
Moseley, complained to Admiral Terry
that the speed of the Tecumseh, which
passes the Moseley, lying at the Third
street wharf southeast Washington, was
so great fCw mornings ago as the tug
boat was returning from towing the
Presidents boat, the Mayfower, out of
the harbor, that the disturbance caused
broke the mast of the Moseley and knock
ed a hole in her wheelhouse and also
broke jiling.'

After the Fortune.

Since the publication a few days ago
of report that sea captain who had
recently died in Seattle, Wash, had left
colored woman named Jones 5000, 600
considerable interest has been manifested
by many colored people bearing that
name in this section from the fact that
the rumor stated that the whereabouts of
the woman were unknown and that 1t
was thought she at one time lived
in Alexandria. A young colored wo-
man who was in the employ of family
in this city has left for Seattle where her
mother lives, who, she AYERS, is the
beneficiary. As Jones is as common a
name among colored people as Smith
among whites, large percentage OF the
colored race hereabouts have been no
little interested in the alleged act OF the
deceased sea captain. There are divers
Joneses in this vicinity, most OF whom
are coming to the front, and some who
are in position to do so will make trip
to Seattle.
