Raging in the Hold Of
Str. James s. Whitney.
Beached in Vineyard Sound and
The Cargo Is Flooded.
Feared That Fire and Water Dam.
age VIII Be Heavy.

Vineyard Haven. Mass, July 15.-
Four streams of water, two from her
own pumps and two from the pumps
of the revenue cutter Acushnet, are to-
night being pumped into the hold of
the steamer James S. Whitney in an
effort to drown out the flames which
compelled her to run ashore in the
harbor late this afternoon The fire
is still smouldering, but by morning it
is expected that it will be extinguished
and then as soon as the water can be
pumped out again, the steamer will
proceed to Boston. The vessel itself
has suffered no damage whatever, but
the loss on the cargo by fire and water
will be extremely heavy.
All of the water thus far pumped in
to the vessel, however, has been for
ward of the engine room and unless
some unforeseen circumstance arises,
the cargo in the other part of the
steamer will not be damaged The
steamer is resting easily in 10 feet of
water and in such a position that she
can be f1oated with little difficulty
when the tide comes in.
vineyard Haven, Mass, July Is
The Metropolitan Line steamer James
is. Whitney. while on her way from
New York to Boston with a cargo
valued at half million dollars, caught
fire half an hour after passing Point
Judith at $50 "A. NJ, and in the thrill
ing run in an attempt to reach Vine
yard Haven struck the western end
of the Middle Ground Shoals in Vine
yard Sound two hours and a quarter
later. The steamer succeeded in back
ing off the mud bank at l145, and,
accompanied by the revenue cutter
Acushnet. which put out from Woods
Hole to the distressed vessel, entered
Vineyard Haven harbor
Late today it was decided that the
fire could not be subdued by steam,
and the Whitney was towed by the
Acushnet to the west side Of the har-
Dor, where she was beached in 10 feet !
Of water. Her hold and lower be- !
tween decks forward were flooded. Il

ROUSES PROTEST

OAKLAND. June 25.-Alleging that
the proposed opening of Washington
street from its present terminus at
Fourteenth street through to San
Pablo avenue is matter of universal
Importance and that the cost of the
proposed work should be borne by the
entire city instead of by the owners of
adjacent property. protest against the
proposed opening was filed with the
city clerk this morning. 1t bears the
following signatures:
r. s. Kitchener Marguerite Ball
A. SiIverstine J. H. Wethern
Louise Frick L. W. Kelly
Gaindo estate G. r. Loring
E. C. Farnham NJ. S Brown
Taft & Pennoyer
The principal objection set forth in
the protest is that the district TO be
assessed includes more than 10 blocks
of land south of the site of the OPEN
ing and but three blocks north of the
site, whereas 1T is declared that much
greater benefit will accrue to a much
larger territory on the north by reason
of the street opening than to the terri
tory to be assessed on the south
The protest will be heard by the city
council at its next meeting.

SULPHUR ROCK
 BANK REoPENS
Cashier Ford Located at Iront0n, Mo-, and Says He Stands Ready to Pay Any Charge That May Re
 Made Against Him.

Batesville, Aug. 1.-The Bank of Sulphur Rock, closed temporarily by the directors to ascertain as to it's solvency, has been reorganized and is now open for business. It has been ascertained that the assets were more than sufficient to pay all obligations, without calling upon the stockholders, and the temporary embarrassment was due to poor management rather than any nnisappropriation of funds.
 MT. Ford, the former cashier, is in Ironton, Mo-, and has written that he stands ready to make good any defi- ciency that might be charged against him.
 However, the stockholders have chosen new board of directors and elected Sam Tuggle cashier, and all claims against the institution are be- ing met. The assets of the reorgan- ized bank are ample to care for the large business of the town and con- munity and no depositor has ever doubted but that his savings were safe in the hands of the former off cers of the bank.
