BOSTON DOCKS BURN
Great Railway Elevator and
Many Piers Destroyed.
TWO SAILORS LOSE THEIR LIVES
Allan Line Seamen Jump Into the
Water to Escape FIames-scotch
whtsIky Burns--Loss of "a
Million Dollars.

BOSTON, July 6. - The immense
grain elevator of the Boston and Maine
Railroad company, one of the largest
in the world, together with the COM
pany's freighthouses, Nos. /, 2 and 3,
on piers / and 2, Mystic wharf,
Charlestown, were burned last night,
entailing loss that will exceed ST.
100000.
During the fire two lives are known
to have been lost. Eleven sailors of
the Allan line steamer Austrian, which
was lying at pier /. jumped overheard
to save themselves from the flames,
which had communicated to the vessel,
and Fred Mckenzie and James Gala
CHER were drowned. The other men
were picked up by tugboats and remoE-
ed to the Marine hospital at Chelsea.
None of them suffered seriously. One
of the wharf employees was reported
as missing.
Before the fire on board the Aus
trian could be got under control by the
fleet of tugboats that had hauled her
out into the stream all her upper works
had been burned to her decks. The
steamer had discharged a part Of her
cargo, which included $4,000 worth Of
Scotch whisky, which was burned In
the freighthouse.
The fire started after o'clock dur
ing heavy thunderstorm, when a bolt
of lightning struck the northeast end
Of freighthouse No. 2, in which was
stored a quantity of hay. In an in
slant the. flames shot in either direc-
ton, quickly communicating to houses
Nos. and 8 and from the latter to the
big elevator building farther west.
The elevator, which was built about
ten years ago, was said to be the lar
gest in existence at that time, having
a capacity of 100000 bushels, but as
near as can be figured it held not over
100000 bushels of grain, chiefly wheat.
The buildings on the pier, with their
contents, are a total loss, and the
| wharf itself is practically ruined. The
loss on the elevator will be at least
100000 and on the contents 100000
more. Losses on the freight houses,
their contents, their pier and to the
steamer Austrian will easily swell the
total to more than $1,O00,000.
Among the steamship companies who
will suffer, losses on freight destroyed
are the Allan line, Scandina vian-Amer
| lean line and the Wilson line, the Scan
| dinavian-American company losing
! 1O4 bales of goat skins, valued at 500.

SOME VETERAN PRINTERS
Quartette Who Have Been in the Bust
ness in New York State More
Than Half Century.

Thomas Atwood, a compositor in a
Port Jervis IN. Y.) newspaper Office,
completed his fifty-sixth year at the case
recently and celebrated his seventy-sec-
ond birthday. Gilbert Van Solver,
Middletown printer, has worked SO years
at his trade. Both of these veterans are
still active and rapid workmen, and put
in full hours every day.
Hon. I. v. Montanye, Of Washington
Vile, finished his apprenticeship to the
printers trade in Goshen so years ago.
He has been in more or, less active
newspaper life ever since, and is now the
editor of newspaper at Washington
VILE
David Osmun, Of Chester, was fell
low apprentice at Montanye When the
Erie railroad was opened for business in
1S41 the first timetables of the company
were set up and printed by Osmun on q

When the Erie established it's own

The MONKS OF TH|BET
MANY PECULIARITIES OF THE
DIFFERENT SECTS OF LAMAs.
How the Dalai Lama Is Selected-A
Tool Of Schening Scoundrels-
New Faiths Are Slowly Pene-
trating the Country.

During recent years have had the
good fortune to travel considerably in
the Lama-Land, both ON the Sikkim
side (by which the mission under Col.
Younghusband has entered Thibet)
and on the western border 1t is of the
latter which shall chiefly speak in
this article.
After many vicissitudes, invasions
by Thibet on the one hand and Kash-
mir on the other, Little Thibet, or La
dakh, is now a province of Kashmir,
and subject to the Maharajo of that
country. That at least is the case so
far as temporal administration goes;
but religiously speaking, Ladal1h is
still an integral part OF Thibet, owning
spiritual allegiance to the great Dalai
Lama at Lhasa, and practically domi-
mated by the Lama hierarchy The po-
sition of the Dalai Lama is itself PEI
culiar. Nominally the temporal as well
as spiritual head, he has really little
authority, being as a rule of tender
years and much under the control OF
his powerful council. There is reason
to believe that the early deaths which
overtake SO many Dalai Lamas as soon
as they are strong-minded enough to
try and govern for themselves are not
due to nature or accident, except in so
far as accident may be synonymous
with misadventure, and poisoning is
said to be a favorite art throughout
Thibet. When the Dalai Lama dies
his spirit is reborn into another body,
usually that of an infant, which is dis
covered and supposed to be identified
by many infallible signs by the monks
of the Potala monastery, to which the
Dalai Lama belongs. If there is doubt
as to the identity between several
claimants, the matter is decided by a
peculiar system Of drawing lots, pro-
ceeded by long prayer and elaborate

Wafch for Friday Night S AdH

in ITS, Sullivan was appointed one
of the first brigadier generals, and
the Following year was appointed
major general. His conduct through
out the war was Of the most brdlAlann
character and he fought in many zrl-
portant battles.
Sullivan belonged to that class &c
colonists who were determined to free
themselves from British rule at any
cost The injustice of England to the
Irish people in ireland still ranked Id
the bosoms Of those who had come to
this country. Sullivan's father was ona
of these and from childhood General
Sullivan had been trained to hate the
British oppression.
In the summer Of ITO Sullivan was
put in command of an expedition
against the "Six Nations, " that band Of
Indians who had their chief retreats in
the country which is now New York
state. Washington gave orders to Sur
Ivan to destroy the villages Of the
'.Six Nations" and, If possible to drive
them out and punish them so severely
that they would never again be able
to get together to commit depreeaz
tions upon the settlers General Sui
Ivan was faithful to his order. Hs
burned the villages of the Indians and
laid waste their fields and drove them
over the Canadian border
NHepunished them with such SEVERITY
that they We're never again able to re-
gain their former power, and thos6
that remained were hopelessly separ-
ated. Sullivan was accused by sons
of undue cruelty to the Indians He
never combatted the charge, unjust
though it was, but bore the criticism
without a mur1nur At the conclusion
Of his military career he returned to
his home, where he was Immediately
elected governor Of his state, and HIS
many years of civil service showed
! him to be as great in peace as in war.

DID TIMES AND THE NEW.
Native of Indianapolis Returns After
Absence of Twenty Years to Find
Things Have Changed.

A man who left Indianapolis in 1880
returned in 1900-the Indianapolitan,
like the cat in the ballad, always goes
back: he cannot successfully be trans
planted--to find himself stranger in a
strange city, writes Meredith Nicholson,
in Atlantic. Once he knew all the people
who rode in chaises: but on his return
he found new people abroad in smart
vehicles; once he had been able to con-
verse on topics of the day with pass
ing friend in the middle of Washington
street; now he must duck and dive, and
keep an eye on the policeman If he would
make safe crossing. He was asked to
luncheon at club; In the old days there
were no clubs. or they were looked on
as Ubiquitous things; he was taken tc.
look at factories which were the larg-
est of their kind in the world. At the
railroad yards he saw machinery being
loaded for shipment to Russia and Chilli;
he was told that books published at In
dianapolis were sold. on the counters
in New York and Boston, Toronto and
London, and he was driven over asphalt
streets to parks that had not been
dreamed of before his term Of exile.
