Shenandoah, Bath Ship, at
Melbourne. Australia.
Battered by Storm She May
Never Sail Deep Water Again.
Bound From Baltimore With Coal
For Admiral Evans.

Bath, Me-, Aug. 1S.-The Queen is.
mortally hurt. Last Of her line, she now
lies in critical condition, far from
home and friends. Mayhaps, she will
never be able again to sit on her throne,
without a peer, among American mcr-
chantmen.
The Shenandoah, four-masted ship.
one of quartet that constituted the
city. is at Melbourne, Australia, her
sides gaping open and leaking like a
sieve. This once staunch vessel, built
in 1890, may never be permitted to sail
deep water again. Thus will she follow
the fate of her sister craft which, In
their day, were called the Big Four,
dying the Stars and Stripes.
These were, besides the Shenandoah,
the Rappanhanock, the Roanoke. and
the Susquehanna. First fire destroyed
the Rappahanock in the south Pacific:
the Roanoke met a similar end at Ne
houe. New Caledonia, while a series of
hurricanes in the Coral sea proved too
much for the Susquehanna. Now comes
the news that the Shenandoah has put
5000 miles out of her course.
The Shenandoah left Baltimore on
March % to go to Frisco, and from
there to Manila. She had 5000 tons OF
coal on board for Admiral Bob" Ev-
ans feet. Nine days afterward she
was spoken to the southwark OF Ber-
muda and eastward of st. Augustine,
with all well and making fine time.
In aDout the number of days it would
ordinarily have taken her to make the
Golden Gate, the tour-master surprised
her owners and federal charterers by
showing up at the city of seven hills

to continue after rounding the Horn.

of her oaken ribs and yellow pine
streaks but the straining to which she
had been subjected proved little more
than she could stand. The pumps soon
told the unwefcome story that she
was leaking at the rate of IL inches an
hour The Shenandoah is 800 feet long
and nearly 50 feet beam.
1t was a bad leak for the queen OF
the American merchantmen with the
prevailing winds for the remaining
half Of her $4,000 mile journey against
her. To continue for San Francisco
meant the loss of the ship. The donkey
engine was kept in commission only
one week out of the 10 required to
reach Melbourne. to the westward of
the Horn. 50 the big end Of the pump
ing had to be done by the crew.
While the ship was gathering herself
together after the big storm, a large
vision at night went floating by like

Chicago, H., Aug. 1S.-Wcstern rail-
roads arc near an open break with the
postof.icc department over the trans
portaticn Of the mails. owing to num-
Der of recent orders. The latest cause Of
grievance is the imposition IF heavy
fines on nearly all the roads for delay
in delivering the mails.
The fines were assessed under new
rule which went into effect in July,
1906. The roads are amazed to find that
they are in danger of losing Is per cent.
OF their mail pay unless they revise
schedules and place their mail trains
upon running time which they know
they can maintain in all seasons and
in all kinds Of weather.

THE FIRE BELIEVED |NCEND|ARY
Summer Residents Ask Better Fire Pro-
tection==Vast Throng Visits Scene OF Con-
flagration Sunday==Injured Improving.

Ola Orchard, Me, Aug. 1S.-In more
than one locality of what remains hab-
table of this town today it was
suggested that it might not be at all
amiss if the State authorities be called
upon to conduct an official invcstiga-
ton of the cause which led to the de-
hoStclrics.
There are people here who believe
that u fircbug with a grudgc against
the town started the blaze, and this,
coupled with the mysterious disappear
ance of two Wakefield girls, who have
not been seen since the fire, causing
MANY to form the opinion that they
persisted in the great cOnfla grafton of
Thursday night, formed the new feat
ur"S Of developments here.
No trace Whatsoever has been found
OF the two young Wakefield women,
Miss Ellen Ferris and Miss Susie john
son, who We're working at the Sea-
shore Hotel and who have not been
seen since the fire, according to the po-
lice ard others who were acquainted
with them.
Word also camc here that they had
not returned to their homes at Wake
field. where they lived in the Green
wood district
1t is hardly thought possible that
they Ecgishcd in the flames. but some
thing may he done here IN ;ln effort 10
definitely locate them. The Seashorc
Hotel, where they were employed, was
til last t. catch on fire, and everyone
within had ample time to escape, ac-
CorlnS to the MANAGEMENT.
However, there are some persons who
think that the girls might have tried to
save their effects and persisted. The fire
was so hot ard the material of the no.
tel of such inflammable construction
that hardly any timbcrs Of it remain.
as is the case with the other buildings
DESTROYED Further search for the girls
will be made, as some of their relatives
were here, but learned nothing regard
ing them.
meeting Of the prominent summer
| residents was held here also in the big
ballroom of the Old Orchard House.
Mavor Fitzgerald of Boston presided
and discussed with others the conditions
| existing antl revealed by the big fire of
| Thursday. Resolutions were passed call
ing for better equipment and fire protcc-
ton in the futures. 1t developed, accord
ing to the reports made. that the fire ap-
paratus from the outlying cities which
| came to assist was not of any great SER
vice because the couplings would not tit
the thread Of the older hydrants in SER
vice here.
A committee consisting of Mayor Fitz-
| gerald, DR.. r. L. Macarthur. of Chicago
the Rev Frank Chartcrn of Montreal and
Mrs G. w. Harris of Cincinnati, was ap-
pointed to draft resolutions which GO pres
cnt afterwards signed.
The resolutions in brief state that the

| and that it is the solemn obligation OF
the summer resort to furnish protection
to life and property hy compelling hotels
