PIERS IN FLAMES.
A Big Blaze on the Jersey City Water
Front.

New York, May 30.-Seven freight
and coal piers of the Delaware, Lack
awanna & Western railroad in Jersey
City were destroyed by fire that
started about o'clock Sunday after
noon in pier IL, on which number of
barrels of oil were stored. The flames
spread rapidly. Pier IL was 500 feet
long and was soon ablaze it's entire
length, and the firemen who were try
ing to fight the fire from the shore
were able to accomplish but little.
The flames swept across to pier IL
and beyond, being finally checked at
pier 5, which is a new coal trestle,
steel framed and ironclad. Here the
firemen and fire boats made a desper-
ate stand and stayed the advance of
the fire until the burning piers
crumbled and fell into the water.
A number of canal boats and sew
eral tugs were burned. the loss of
small boats being variously estimated
from 30 to 200.
The number of freight cars burned
is not known, but on this class of
rolling stock and on coal cars the
loss will be heavy.
During the nre the Lackawanna
moved it's passenger coaches from it's
yards out to the meadows, and one
train of q dozen box cars was hauled
out of a burning pier and saved.
Piers IL and IL were full of general
merchandise; piers 7, s, 8 and 10
were used for coal and pier was a
grain loading pier
The loss is estimated at s1,OOO,o0O.

For time he seemed improved and
gave much of his time to outdoor ex-
ercise. Never strong man physic-
ally, Senator Quay prided himself on
his endurance and believed firmly
that outdoor life would restore him to
health and give him years longer
lease of life.
1t was this thought that took him
to the Maine woods for several sue
cessive summers. Those who accom-
panied him on his trips to the wilder
ness say that he was untiring in his
energies. capable OF walking, canoe
ing or travelling in any manner far be-
yond the resources of his companions.

days before his death and which the
doctors diagnosed as chronic gas
tritis. The funeral will be at o'clock

Senator Quay's illness began about
year ago. 1t was a recurrence of

latter part of 1900 and the early days
of January, 1901, when he was underi

A Successful HoIdup.

Chicago, May 30.-One of the bold
est robberies Chicago has known in
years was committed Saturday night
in less than q minute at the shoe
store of Frazin & Oppenheim, 1G5
Madison street, one square from the
city hall. There were IA customers
and six clerks in the store when four
men entered the place. One of the
clerks started forward to meet the
supposed customers, when three of
the men drew reyolvers and ordered
the clerks and customers to the rear
of the store. The fourth man then
took 1881 from the register.

HEROIC TENAcITY OF JAPs.

Toxic, May 30.-The details of the
Sighting at Kin-Chou emphasize the
heroic tenacity of the Japanese in
their conduct at Nanshan hill.
Nine successive times the Japanese
charged the fortified heights in the
face of a storm of death dealing
missiles, and in their last effort they
carried the forts and trenches only
after bayonet conflict with the
Russians, who made a desperate
struggle to beat back the oncoming
hordeS.
The final assault of the Japanese, in
which they at last succeeded in TAX
ing possession, was marked by the
most desperate hand-to-hand encoun-
ter that has thus far characterized the
war.
The Japanese paid for their victory
IN $500 killed and wounded To the
Russians, the humiliation of defeat
was intensified by the loss of GS can
non and ten machine guns, while ly-
ing dead in the forts were 500 men.
st. Petersburg, May 30.-Intense
interest is displayed in the Japanese
reports of the Kin-Chou battle. The
people in the streets almost mob
newsboys to secure extras containing
the dispatches. Crowds stood around
the official bulletin boards awaiting
the Russian versions, but none arriv-
ed The official world, as we'll as the
public, is entirely dependent upon the
Japanese for news. Further details
are eagerly looked for, especially re-
garding losses. The prevailing con-
viction here is that the Japanese
must have carried Nanshan Hill at
tremendous sacrifice.

THE FLOOD SITUATION.
Maumee River Making Trouble
Through the Valley,

The recent rains have swelled the
Maumee river until its banks are full
and overfowing.
Residents all along the valley have
been in a state of fear for weeks.
On Wednesday morning the gorge
which had threatened Waterville for
the past three weeks, broke and car.
ried away two spans of the bridge.
This relieved the town from further
danger of flood for the present.
The bridge is badly wrecked. Two
spans from the center are gone, while
the abutment on the south side is
badly damaged.
At Grand Rapids the bridge was
taken out entirely and water stood
three feet deep in Thurston's drug
store. The bridge has been carried
several miles down stream.
The Wateryille bridge has come
down about two miles below the vii
lage.
The gorge formed at Buttonwood
island and is now holding. tits ex-
pected to break at any moment and
come down on the Perrysburg- Maui
NEE bridge.
At present everything is solld at
Perrysburg, although the water is
very high and the ice is expected to
break at any moment.
The back portion of town has been
bothered with deep water for the first
time in many years. The Neider-
house boys came in town as far as
Sixth street in a boat last Tuesday.
Henry Uthoff's residence has been
filled with water to such an extent
that it was necessary to take up car
pets and move into the second story.

Since the Legislature considers ten
miles an hour slow enough for auto
mobiles to run in towns, and twenty
miles for country travel, it may be
understood that this rate in town is
equal to the regular rate acquired by
our fastest cars on the Valley line,
while it is double that rate for the
country roads. AS the engines are
not to be stopped when teams are
passing the auto is still possessed of
its power to frighten horses even
though it is not moving. The rate of
speed and the noise of the engine has
not been regulated so as to reduce
the danger to the farmer or other per-
son drying along the highway, The
only thing left for the farmer is to re-
member the advice in the good old
song which says, Johnnie, Get Your
Gun"

Proof Against Irony.

Lord Bowen, an English Judge of
renown. was trying a case of bur
glary with Welsh jury, and it was
argued by the defense that the pris-
oner was in the habit of walking on
the housetopsTat midnight and had
merely taken of his boots and drop
ped into the house out of curiosity.
In cumming up Bowen said to the
jury, IF you believe that ths prison
er considers the housetops the prop
er place for an evening stroll, that
the desire to inspect the inside Of
the house was but natural and ex-
cusable curiosity, you will acquit
him and will approve his conduct
in showing 80 much consideration as
to take off his boots for fear of dis
turbing the sleepers." The irony
was lost on the jury. They took
him seriously and acquitted the
prisoner.

Two Ways of Lookina at II.

A famous English minister once
visited wretched, tumble down
cottage, or cabin, in Ireland, where
he found poor man lying ill on a
mean, uncomfortable bed. There
was little to cheer him during the
long, weary day as he lay fevered
and helpless-no pretty pictures to
rest his eyes upon, no sweet scented
nosegays of flowers by his bedside
and but few friends to come and sit
and talk &c him. And the minister
noticed that above the sick mans
head there were great holes in the
roof.
"Dear, dear!" said the minister.
"You must find those holes very
awkward in bad weather!"
"Ah, sure and / like them," said
the old man, ttfor I can count the
stars through them as they 60 shin
ing over the roof"
