Gasoline Ablaze Cause Of Alarm.

A gallon or two of gasoline spilled on the
ground and small boy with match was
a combination that caused excitement along
the river front yesterday afternoon about
4:3O o'clock. A large touring automobile,
which had been taken to the wharf for ship
ment to Norfolk, had emptied its fuel tank
in the street preparatory to being taken
aboard the Norfolk line steamer. A number
Of boys stood by and watched the opera
ton of preparing the machine for shipment
AS soon as 1t was moved to be placed on
the steamer one of the boys dropped
match in the little rivulet of Oil on the
ground. There a burst of fame about
twenty feet long and two feet or more wide
that shot fifteen or twenty feet up in the
air. The fire was within a foot or two Of
new fence in front of the pier of Stephen
son & Bro, at the foot of 7th street, and
for few minutes it looked as if the fence
would catch fire and the services of the
Firefghter would be necessary. Laborers
from the Stephenson pier threw sand upon
the oil and street sprinkling wagon flooded
the ground and the flames were ex-
tinguished. Stephenson & Bros new fence
was badly scorched

Shipment of Coal.

The big four-maasted schooner Edward R.
Hunt, which is lying at Georgetown for a
cargo of coal, will, it is stated. complete
loading tomorrow and will sail for Boston.
The schooner went from the Home Ice pier
to the coal docks at Georgetown early in
the week and took aboard a portion of her
cargo, but the break in the canal not allow
ing boats from the Cumberland coal region
to come down the waterway prevented
the completion of the cargo of the Hunt.
The break has been repaired, 1t is stated,
and boats are expected to arrive at George
town today. AS fast as they can be brought
to the coal piers their cargoes will be trans
ferred to the Hunt until her cargo of 1900
tons is aboard her.
Consolidation Coal Company barge No 16,
which unloaded a cargo of ice at the 10th
street wharf of the American Ice Company,
was yesterday taken to Georgetown, and as
soon as the Hunt is loaded the barge will
go under the coal chutes to take aboard a
cargo for a New England port. She will
carry away about 1,4G0 tons of the fuel

tav Forsberg of this city, arrived here
Wednesday, and is lying at the wharf foot
of K street ready for service. The pleasure
boat is a handsome craft, and has speed
of the steamers in service on the river.

size her cabins are roomy and equipped
with modern yacht convenences. She has
sleeping accommodations for six persons
in addition to her crew. The yacht is only
sixty and two-tenths feet long, and has
two pole masts. She was built at Boston
in 1896, and was owned there when bought
by Commodore Forsberg. She was brought
by the inland waterways from Boston here,
coming from New York through the Della
ware and Raritan canal, the Delaware
and Chesapeake bay and the Potomac
river. On the trip she was under the
command of Capt Brannagan, and Mr..
Charley Cogswell was in charge of her
engine room. The little craft will be used
for pleasure cruising on the bay and river.
The handsome steam yacht Thetis of
Rochester, N. Y, which has spent several
days in the harbor here while her owner
and party aboard visited the city, returned
to port Monday from visit to the James
town exposition. After remaining here
about twenty-four hours she sailed again,
it is understood, for New York, route
