Captain Fremont decided to let her out a little." Aided by the current and head ed into the wind which helped the draft of her boilers, she soon made a speed of 22 knots an hour, which Commander Cluverius laughingly remarke6 makes her the fastest battleship of this or of any other navy"
 The trip down the river was marked by as much enthusiasm and interest as was exhibited on the journey upward The levee was lined wherever there were settlements. Salutes were fired, whistles blown, flags waved and bells rung.
 The battleship anchored off the coal Ing station at the navy yard tonight and will take $50 tons tomorrow This will carry her to Pensacola, where she will pick up 1860 tons more for her voy- age to Philadelphia. She leaves New Dr. leans at a. m. Thursday and because of coaling no liberty will be given the men here.

FIVE CHILDREN
 FATALLY BURNED

Central City, Ky, May 25.-Five children who took part in the commencement ex- ercises of Mrs. B. c. Boyd's school in this city last night were burned, 1t is believed, fatally; the audience was changed from an applauding group into fighting mob and several other children were slightly injured. Panic was averted by the cool ness of the men in the audienes, who cov- cred the flaming children witff their coats. The fatally burned:
 Dorothy Clay, aged years.
 zelma Clay, aged 10 years. A
 Louise Marshall, aged F years.
 Nell McGeary, aged years.
 Rena Miller, aged years.
 Little Dorothy Clay was the unwilling cause of the catastrophe. The little girls were formed in circle and had drilled back and forth in their white muslin dresses, the audience gathering enthus- iasm as the entertainment progressed. Then the lights were extinguished and an electric candle in the hand of each child flashed out brilliantly. The aunts, moth CTS, fathers and playmates in the crowd cheered and applauded so enthusiastically that Dorothy grew frightened and dropped her candle The flames leaped to the white muslin and in twinkling five dresses were af1re.
 Mothers fought to reach their children, veritable small bonflres on the platform. The children, gnawed with pain, made eff forts to clamor over the footlights to those to whom they looked for surcease of all pain. Little Louise Marshall, a screaming rocket, leaped over the foot lights and into the lap of her aunt in the audience.
 Men In the audience then smothered the flaming clothing but in the cases of those named 1t Is believed to have been too late.
 Albert Clay, foreman of the Central City foundry, is the father of both the children bearing his name.
