New York, Dec, 22.-While the

ferry boat ST. Clair, was crowded
from end to end. on a trip tonight
from the foot of Christopher Street
to Hoboken, fire burst from beneath
the middle of the inward row of
seats in the mems cabin on the star
board side. So sudden was the out
burst of flames that those sitting on
the seats had narrow escapes from
burning. sie 80
Shouts of fire sent the passengers
in a rush to the open ends of the boat,
men almost pushing one another into
the water. Panic spread to the wom-
ems cabin, which was also crowded.
there being about 1000 passengers on
the boat. The Mont Clair was in
mid stream. The deck hands partly
put out the fire. The boat was driven
full speed. with whistle shrieking,
to the Hoboken slip. The passengers
rushed ashore. and the fire depart
ment put out what remained of the
blaze. 1t is supposed that a smoul-
dering cigar stub communicated the
fire to rubbish and started the blaze.

here about six months and so far as
is known the man had no regular en-
ployment.
The letter left by Harlow was found
clutched in his hand. 1t says: "Our
money is gone. and when that is gone.
of course, your friends are, and we
have no place to go, and / am not
able to work. What to do we don't
know, but we have agreed to go to-
gether with little Bessie (the dog) the
best friend we have"
A second letter explains that
friend to Harlow had loaned over
$1,000 to help him out of trouble, had
failed him. The letter concludes:
The trouble is | have been too good
to my friends-those / thought were
ny friends"

Wilson. N. c., Dec. 22-The con-
cert last night at the Atlantic Chris
tian College was a brilliant success
and reflected credit upon all connected
herewith. and particularly upon the
highly accomplished musical instruct
ORE Miss Jeanette Zachary, whose adj
mirable training was conspicuous in
the fanltless manner in which the
young ladies acquitted themselves.
The College is basking in the sunlight
of prosperity, and the polished presi-
dent. DR.. Harper, is to be congratulate
ed upon his successful efforts.
The Messenger is the name of a new
paper in Wilson. 1t is published in
the interest of the Baptist church and
for the uplifting of man. J. T. Jenk-
ins. the popular pastor of the Baptist
church, is editor, and the jealous and
consecrated z. T. Broughton is local
editor. They are getting out a most
creditable paper.
The generous and big-hearted Ware.
