and Two Barges When the
Vessels Started, Fire Was
Discovered on Board One Of
the BarSes.

Joseph Fiigen, the owner and man
ager of Sea Breeze, and the police on
duty at that place had plenty Of
trouble when they tried to prevent
the John J. Kelly Association from
the Fifth Ward, BROOKLYN, from land
ing at. Sea Breeze, yesterday after
noon.
Some time before the boats we're
near the landing Mn Fiigen was
notified that stea rner and two barges
were out in the sonnd and were to
land ar the Breeze. He hunted mp,
Roundsman James Londgran and
Policeman Fred Oleig and the three
went to the dock, where the captain
OF the steamer. which was the
Tolohester, and sthe barges susque-
hanna and John H. Spear, was ordered
not to land. he insisted, however,
and the crowd began to pour into the
grove and in short time the fence
on the dock was torn down and the
policemen had thor hands full in try-
ing to control the visitors. The re-
serves were sent from Tottenville and
in short. order all was quiet. The
crowd did not make any trouble after
they landed. They stayed about half
an hour
The. leader of the association. John
j. Kelly, told News reporters that be
,thought all Of the arrangements to
lland at the place lid been csA;ess;s:s..-::.7|
and as the crowd was an orderly one.
he could not see what tie manager
had to complain about. A number
of the other. mombers Of the excursion
told reporter that the outing had
been advertised for nearly Two weeks
by posters in South Brooklyn !; Il in
Coney Island.
Last year the association, told

the foot OF Dock street, one block
north OF Fulton Ferry, Brooklyn.
the signal to start was about to be
given, when fire was discovered in
the Joiner work Of the Spears upper
deck.
The word was passed quietly among
the steamboat employe, and a squad
of men went to attack it. Soon those
on board learned what was wrong and
there was great rushing to and fro.
Officers of the boat went among the
excited passengers to prevent o rush
for the gang plank saying 1t was 2
false alarm and there was no danger
A good many, however, went ashore
and stood on the pier watching the
well l-drilled crew at work on The
spea Is upper deck. The fire was ont
in five minutes.
Two detectives from the Fu!ton
street police station, who had eQ
! detailed 70 sec the excursibnis!s

animation to see that the danger was
past. Thoy gave permission for the
