FIRE THREATENS
CITY POWER

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Oct. q
A1.N.S9.-The business section of
Providence was thrown into wild
excitement today after a fire that
sent out huge black smoke clouds
from a burning sulphur pocket on
the waterfront spread to coal
carrying steamship and threatened
the plant which supplies electric
light and power to, the city.
Heat from the burning sulphur
repeatedly drove back firemen.
The crew Of the steamship aban-
doned an attempt to get her away
from the dock and as the blaze
spread through her one seaman
jumped overheard and was
rescued.
Five firemen battling the blaze
from the roof of the sulphur
pocket, had narrow escapes from
death as they leaped from a
burning section where they were
trapped to another blazing sec
ton and then to the street. One
fireman was injured.
Burning embers from the blaz-
ing steamship Lake Gilt Edge
fell over wide area in the
downtown section. Across the
slip the valuable battery plant of
the Electric Lighting Company
was in immediate danger and
appeared doomed.

she was found. Later she ad-
mitted her identity.
Both the young woman and
Russell were placed in the police
car and as Wilson drove away
Miss Moore collapsed. She was
Immediately taken to the hospi-
tai where the gravity Of her in
jury was found.
Backs Her Story
Miss Moore then told police
that she and her companion had
been drinking and that she
managed to get possession Of the

side, threatening to shoot.
Russell, she said, ran to her
and seized her arm and In the
tussle which ensued the weapon
