Valuable Patterns and Furniture
For the Kansas Burned.
Fire at Amsterdam, n. Y, Causes a
Loss Of $4,000.

Philadelphia. April 9.-Ono Of the
large buildings i'll the League Island
navy yard, containing the saw mill,
joiner's shop and pattern shop, was al
most entirely destroyed by fire early
today. Officers at the yard estimated
the loss between $4,000 and 100000.
The fire was discovered by a watch
man. who turned in the larm. Despite
the efforts Of the fire fighters, tho
structure was soon developed in flames
and the interior of the building was
completely destroyed. Many patterns
for the equipment OF vessels Of the
navy were burned and they will be diff
flcult to replace.
Much Of the furniture intended for
the battleship Kansas was stored in
the building and was destroyed. The
Kansas was to have been placed in
commission within a few days and it
is thought that the loss Of the furni-
ture will delay the ceremony.

Escaped Desperate Is
Caught at Mi|bridge.
Found by Officers, Hiding Under
Bed In Deserted Camp.
Weary and Hungry, He Submits
Peacefully to Arrest.

Ellsworth, Me-, April 9.-William
Steadman, who broke out Of the coun-
ty Jail on the night of March % and
escaped after committing a murderous
assault upon High Sheriff D. II. Mayo
in the prison stable, was captured to-
day in camp near Milbridge by
Deputy Sheriff Joseph 3. Swanton Of
Milbridge. The information reached
here in brief dispatch to Sheriff
Mayo and no particulars were given.
Milbridge is in the southwestern
corner of Washington county and
about 80 miles from Ellsworth. Since
he gained his liberty Steadman has
been persistently followed by county
and local officials and his capture was
considered only a matter of time. He
made hard fight to get away, but
was Handicapped by cold weather and
at least two snow storms, one Of which
occurred last night. Steadman was
being held on the charge Of horse
stealing, for the supreme court, which
convened today.
Later it was learned that the camp
in which Steadman was taken was an
unoccupied structure on meadow
and hidden by dense woods just out
side of Milbridge His presence was
revealed by smoke rising from the
chimney. Deputy Swanton searched
the building and found Steadman hid
ing beneath bed. He offered no re-
sistance and in fact was glad enough
to abandon his efforts to make good
his escape. He is to be brought here
on the train arriving at 1850 o'clock
tonight
