THREE FIRES TODAY.
A Small Scare at The Public
School Building-Routs
Out Children.

Annapolis was visited by three fires
today none of which, however. did
any considerable damage. The one
from which the greatest damage and
danger might have been anticipated
was the one at the public school this
afternoon.
An Overheated fiue board in the old
building set fire TO the wood work in
the basement and smoke soon began 70
pour into the building. The alarm
was sounded in the school and the
pupils left the building very speedily.

drill calls for.
Several Of the pupils jumped from
the lower windows and one boy Jump
ed out of second story window into
snow bank, seeming TO relish the
experience. The department responded
and the flames were speedily extin-
guished with practically no loss.
A swinging gas jet set fire to some
curtains in the residence of Dr. Hep
burn, on State Circle at an early hour
this morning. Very little loss was
done, but the fire department respond
ed very promptly.
The third fire was in the house of
Mrs. William Lowman on Chestnut
street. 1t was caused by stove be-
ing upset. The apparatus did not re-
spond and the flames were extinguish.

HARBOR IS ICEBOUND.
Means of Transportation BY
Water Now At a
Standstill.

After being tied up in the ice of the
harbor for several days the schooner
Sophie Dunn has been released and
continued on her trip to Baltimore
This morning the tug Hunter fought
her way down the bay and reached
the Dunn after considerable difficulty.
A line was made fast and after the
clinging ice had been cut loose from
her sides the start for Baltimore was
made. The tug had considerable diff
Guilty in getting out of the harbor, but
found little difficulty when the open
channel far ont in the bay was reach
ed.
Several large ocean going steamers
were seen this morning making their
way up the bay. A channel has been
kept open close TO the other shore, but
indications were that it had been
pretty well frozen over during the
night.
No attempt has been made for sew
eral days to get out on the oyster bars,
as no work could be done even were il
ters in town now are those which
were brought in prior to Monday On
that day they were wholesaling at 20
oysters are being offered at ST. 35.
Right now Annapolis is experiencing
one of the worst oyster famines in its
history with no immediate prospect
of an abatement. The visible supply
will be shucked today or tomorrow
and after that none can be secured un.
less something unforeseen transpires.
Merchants who have depended al
most entirely on the steamboat com
pany for the carrying of freight are
running short of supplies and will
have to have everything brought by
rail as the COLCHESTER company have
withdrawn the boat for the present.
Just as soon as there is the slightest
break in the ice, however, she will
again be placed in commission and
proceed with the carrying of freight.
Considerable lumber which had been
ordered by contractors who are doing
interior work during the Rbad weather
is tied up at some bay port awaiting a
chance to get in. This will delay
work in several quarters. Practically
all of the coal dealers are still we'll
stocked with coal and the chances are
that there will be no coal famine.

THEY ARE STILL ALIVE
Marooned Dredgers Set Fire to
Island On Which They
Are Prisoners.

Late this afternoon the Capital tele-
phoned to Deals Island with reference
to the condition of the men who are
marooned near the island and unable
to make their escape. 1t was stated
in reply to the Capitals query that
the signals of the men we're still flying
and had not been removed or added to.
The men must have left their boats
and tried to keep warm by small fires,
which they built in the open. Wheth-
er by design or accident the tall marsh
grass and reeds were soon in flames.
At noon they were burning tiercely
and sending up sparks and smoke TO
a great height. 1t is thought that,
driven desperate by their condition,
the men may have set fire to the grass
in order to attract attention.
The residents of the island have
every reason to believe that the men
are still alive, but can exist but a
short time longer.
