Fire on a Steamer.

Capt. Jepson and officers Of the Brit
ish steamer Arranmore, which arrived at
Boston yesterday after an eventfnl and
perilous passageJ. from Antwerp, we're
much incensed over the failure OF a
French freight steamer, which is believ.
ed to have been the Bordeaux, in ac-
knowledging their signals, but not offer
ing assistance when informed that the
ArraDmOre WAS on fire.
December FIRE started in the after
holj. The crew fought the flames for
three days, and, owing TO the fact that
the vessel had on her forward deck fifty
barrels Of chemicals used in the manufac-
ture of dynamite, the situation was an ex-
tremely perilous one.
Every man on board worked without
a rest for many hours. The matches were
battened down, and steam was forced 10.
to the hold.
At noon on the 9Th, while the FIRE was
at its height and it was feared that it
would break into the forward part Of the
ship, a steamer bavirg one funnel and
two masts, and flying the French flag,
overlook the Araumore, passing close
alongside. Signals were hoisted by the
Arranmore, stating that the vessel was
on fire in the afterhold.
The French vessel acknowledged the
Signals and Informed the officers of the
Arranmore that their signals were under
stood. The French steamer, however.
steamed steadily by, and an hour later
had disappeared.
That night the fire subsidized, and on
the following day, when the matches
were removed, it was found to have been
extinguished.
Ths French line freight steamer Bor-
deaux reached New York Saturday, but
made no report of having spoken any
vessel on the voyage.

Brand. New Species of Grip.

London physicians are reporting the
temperance of Russian influenza, bet
ter known as grip, in new form, a
neuralgia type of the disease. Attacks
of neuralgia headaches and facial pains
are now enormously prevalent A
specialist believes there will be repeti-
ton of the headaches and neuralgias of
the sixties. These followed the out
break of influenza OF lS49-5O, sitter
which, so far SIS he hes been able 10 re-
trace it, the disease pursued the same
cycle, finishing with an epidemic Of
neuralgia headache He expects some
thing of the same sort for year or two
to come. Another authority, who COM
firms what the specialist says, looks for
ward to the disappearance OF influenza
after a season or two. AS some 80 per
cent. of the population must now have
suffered from the disease it will probably
not return unit! 80 or 80 years from
now, according as the immune popula-
ton dies out.

Terrorized by Black Hand.

Government secret service detectives
are on the track Of the Black Hand
Society Of Richmond, whose alleged
members have terrorized the homes OF
prominept Italian citizens in that city.
II is said this society has succeeded by
threats of assassination in exioriing at
least 800 out of Italians in Lynch
burg and other Virginia cities.
The refusal of Joseph MARSHA, we'll
known Italian merchant OF Richmond,
to give mp $500 under threat of assassi-
nation is only one of several such cases
brought to light. The publicity he gave
to the threatening communications he
received embroidered others of his coun.
try men whose lives had been threatened
TO speak out.
Louis Correiri, liquor dealer in west
Broad street, was ordered to leave ST.
900 in designated place near the old
fair grounds and death was named as
the penalty of failure to comply. He
was warned not 10 communicate with
the police, and was told in the mes
sage that if he did so he would be
shot down in the street. A stiletto
stuck on the door bore the mes
sage of death and the threat that his
family would be wiped out and his
house burned because of this bad treat
ment of his countrymen. Becoming
thoroughly alarmed, Correiri, submitted
the message and his fears to some OF bis
intimate friends. They advised him to
Law the matter before the Secret Service
at Washington, anc this was done.
The communications were all written 10
Italian and bear the signature Gsrlbaldl'
Correiri called at police headquarters

received and asked permission to carry
