A HARD FIGHT FOR THIRTY-SIX HOURS, | Life Boats Made Ready to Leave The Ship. | PASSENGERS SHOW COURAGE, NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—The steamship Gel- lert sailed safely into port early this morn- ing and landed her 465 passengers. The | Voyage had, been an eventful oie and every one of the passengers wore a happy look us | he or she walked down the gang plank and put foot ashore. The Gellert left Hamburg on October 16 and fared well, so far as wind and sea are concerned. At midnight on Sunday, October | 2 however, the officer on watch received information that there was a:fire in the aftership. The captain was hastily notified and all hands were ordered on deck. An examination showed that the smoke from the fire éame out of the ventilators that enter the steerage. The ventilators and all other openings were tightly closed and streams of water turned into the steer- age and the lower hold. Steam was alsu turned on and every effort made to exting- uish the fire. Notwithstanding the Perilous situation in which the passengers had so suddenly found themselves, there was but little excitement among them. The cabin passensers remov- ed their effects from ‘the after Part of the vessel and the cabin deck was flooded. Then the life boats were made ready -for use and every preparation made to leave the burning ship if it became necessary. The engines were stopped so as to avoid any draught and the great vessel rollcd lazily along with variable winds and a moderate sea. An atempt was by putting holes from the cable. desk "Ts the steerage, but this had to be abandgned on account of the dense smake which Toll- ed through the openings. An attezapt to descend from the overdeck to the fire by Way of the main hatch.was also given up on the same account. Then all openings were closed to await daylight. When day- light came several attempts were niade to enter the steerage, but without succes: It was found that the temperature in th saloon was rapidly increasing, but this fact was kept from the passengers as long as Rape teaecnts carpets were removed and e) S ing the decks ese ee ee A few hours after daylight on Monda: smoke was discovered coming through the \ Seams of the deck. After awhile the ef- |forts of the officers and the crew were crowned with success, the exact location of the fire having been found and streams oe rai weete turned directly on the fire. ‘e was now less danger of the ship being destroyed, : ite but they were hose were run the saloon deck, and all day Monday and throughout Monday night Water was constantly thrown into the burn- ing steerage. On Tuesday morning the steerage room was entered by way of the main hatch, and by noon time the fire was extinguished. The burned cargo was thrown overboard so as to run no risk of a recurrence of the fire, and when the last piece was cast into the sea and all danger past a mighty cheer went up from the passengers and crew. The cause of the fire was spontaneous combustion. When the fire started there was a fresh northwest breeze, with a very rough sea, but ‘later the sea calmed, and during the rest of the exciting time clear, ight weather prevailed with moderate ae UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS. Many of the Midway Foreigners Will Be Left Here. The many employes and attendants who came to the United. States from foreign countries with world’s fuir exhibitors and with Midway Plaisance shows are causing the treasury officials much concern as to the proper means of returning them, at the close of the fair, to the countries “whence they come.” A census of this class of peo- ple (of whom there are 500 Chinese alone) has been taken by treasury agents on the fair grounds, with a view to comparing the list with a similar list taken of those who entered this country when the fair opened. | Many of these people, from one cause or anothe:, will not be taken back by those who brought them over, and thus several thousand Undesirable immigrants of all na- tionalities may be thrown upon the country to swell the already large army of unem- ployed. The people who thus get in are not subject to the usual examinations ap- plied to immigrants on landing. Superintendent Stump of the immigzation bureau, Treasury Department, left for Chi- cago this afterncon to be present at the close of the fair, and to see what could be done to have these people returned with the men who brought them over. Assistant Secretary Hamlin will also leave for Chica- go on Sunday to remain for a week or ten days to decide custom and other treasury matters needing instant decision on the gzounds. —____+e+ —_____ WORKING A BUNCO SCHEME. Arrest of the Man Who Called Himself a Consul. The State Department has received word by telegraph from Mr. Charles Shafer, United States counsel at Vera Cruz, Mexi- | co, that his bogus double “Charles Hamil- ton Shafer,” who had swindled scores of people in the United States, had been ar- rested this morning by the Mexican au- thorities. News of the arrest was also ob- tained from the Mexican minister in Wash- ington, Senor Romero, and from Mr. But- ler, charge d’ affaires of the United States legation in the City of Mexico. The dis- patches show that the real name of the pre- tended consul is William Brennan,and that he was apprehended at Vera Cruz. Brennan's extensive swindling operations were based on an old bunco game. He sent out t eople in this country on pa- per headed“Consulate of the United States, Perote, Mexico,” and signed “Charles [lam- ilton Shaefer, consul,” letters informing each that he had been left a large fortune by some person in Mexico and that the en- tire amount willed would be turned over to him on payment of the undertaker's bill, amounting usually to forty dollars and some cents, which was inclosed. Last week one of the letters was sent to the State Department, and an investigation re- | sulted in the capture of Brennan today. | About sixty letters from victims have been | received at the department within the last ‘ew days. Brennan will be tried by the iexican authorities for violating the pos- \ tal laws. There is some doubt whether he can be extradited from Mexico to the | United States on the charge of obtaining | money under false pretenses. The Pope Cath jc University.

WOODWARD & LOTHROP, 10th, 11th and F sts. aw. se27-3m , THE RECORD BROKEN. L. 0. Wahl Rides 297 1-4 Miles in Twenty- Four Hours, Rapid Bicycle Road Riding—Fast Rid- ing at the End—Fresh and Vigor- ous—Ride by Laps. J. J. Fister of the Georgetown Cycle Club no longer holds the twenty-four hours’ bi- cycle championship of America, for yester- day it was wrested from him by L. C. Wahl, who held it formerly. The number of miles covered by the new champion. was 291 1-4, Fister had but 280 to his credit. Though the feat is considered by bicy- clists a remarkable one, but comparatively little interest was manifested during the trial The Georgetown cyclists did not even post men along the course to watch the ride. Capt. ‘Cook said yesterday his club did not care whether Wahl broke the | record or not. They (the Georgetowners) | do not doubt, though, that the ride was a fair and square one, and they indifferently hand over the honors belonging to the champion. The only neutral ones who watched the ride carefully were Messrs. C. W. Moore of Washington and J. H. Brit- ton of Philadelphia, who acted as time | keepers at the Anglers’ Club’ House,and the distributing reservoir, respectively. Their decision was accepted by all con- }cerned without a murmur. Some Balti- | moréans who were backing Wahl stayed | with him a greater part of the ride. The fastest time made by Wahl was in the first lap, going over in one hour and twenty-one minutes. As the hours advanced, and good time | was still being made, Wahi seemed to | grow fresher. In the early hours of the morning only did he seem at all affected. Then bis legs were discovered to be full of | cold frost and his feet unconsciously numb | from continual treading. A rubbing down brought him around, though. The fourteenth and last lap was made in one hour and forty-three: minutes. When the record was broken and the ride over Wahi was taken to Brill’s Hotel, wrapped | in blankets and put to bed. Later he ap- | peared all right and returned to the city. | The start for the affair was made punc- | tually at 6 o'clock on Wednesday after- noon, the course being from the distrib- uting reservoir to the Anglers’ Club House, on the Conduit road,-a distance of @ little over ten miles, and return, or over twenty | miles to the lap. The Winner. ; Wahl has established quite a reputation | in the District as a wheelman, having made the twenty-mile record, and was the pio- neer in the twenty-four-hour continuous | riding event, his first attempt being 270 | miles. His race yesterday was run under H the auspices of the Baltimore Bicycle Club. | Mr. Harry C. Lee of that city had his race | in charge. Mr. Wahl returned ‘to the city at a late hour last night. He is an em- | ploye of the government printing office. | The following is the official time by laps, a distance of a little over twenty miles. | . Hrs. Mii | I | First lap.

The Earl said | that if the Valkyrie had not in each von- | test had exceedingly hard luck she would | have won the cup. He did not think the American center-board boat superior to the | English keel cutter. Speaking of the reported trouble between | himself and Mr. Watson, the designer of the Valkyrie, the Earl of Dunraven said: | “Mr. Watson and myself differed in opin- {fon, but there is no estrangement between u When asked what disposition he intended to make of the Valkyrie, the ear! said that on the whole she had proved herself a good | boat, and he was perfectly satistied with |her performance. It was his intention to jenter her for the races in America next summer.. He. would not. say whether he | intended to build another boat to compete | in 18% for the America’s cup. The Ameri- | can clubs might, perhaps, he said, fix May | next for a contest, when the Vigilant, Ju- | bilee, Pilgrim, Colonia and Navahoe would race. | Referring to the Valkyrie’s time allow- | ance, he declared that If tHe races had taken place in England the Vigilant would | have had to allow her more time than given her in America. ——~-eee LION LOOSE IN NEW YORK.

Charles F. Coghlan Weds an Actress Aged Nineteen, The secret marriage of Charles F. Cogh- lan, the actor, and Miss Kuhne Beveridge, a member of the same compauy, has leaked | out. The two were married shortly after midnight on Tuesday night at Indianapolis, | but the Heense has not been put on thi record as yet It is another case of December and May, Coghlan having seen fifty-two years of this life, while the bride can claim only nine- | teen. Leopold Daniels, of the clerk’s effice, | was awakened about midnight by Leon Batley, who told him he wanted a license for the two and wanted the affair kept quiet. Daniels, it seems, keeps marriage license blanks in his room, and there was no trouble in settling this preliminary. | Then Justice Daniels was aroused from bed and taken to the Bates House, where | he performed the ceremony. The couple, with the rest of the company, left for Louisville today. Coghlan’s wife attained some prominence as the sculptress of a bust of Grover) Cleveland. She is a niece of ex-Governor Beveridge of Illinois. She has been on the! stage but a short time. In “Diplomacy” she takes the part of maid.

ANOTHER FACTORY For the Disposal of Garbage Asked by Mr. Mann. SOUTH WASHINGTON AGAIN THE SI76. This Will Add Fuel to the Gar- bage Grievance. MR. PATRICK MANN’S LETTER. Patrick Mann is the owner of a reduction plant just below Giesboro’ Point, on the Maryland side of the Potomac, where he makes from the dead animals collected in this city a brand of fertilizer. Lately, how- ever, his dream has been disturbed. From being a monopolist in the collection of the dead animals, he is now forced to hustle. The advent of the National Sanitary Com- pany: is responsible for this. In fact, since the erection of the latter plant there has been considerable bad: feeling engen- dered. When the citizens in that section of the city began to complain of the noxious odors they were forced to endure the Sant- tary Company said it was not responsible and pointed to Mann’s wharf, where the dead animals are loaded upon scows. ‘That made Mann mad. He denied the responsi- bility of the odors and brought witnesses to that effect. Then it was that the health officer took a hand. He ordered an inspec- tion of Mann's station and the factory be- low Glesboro’ and then notified the Commis- sioners they were not in a sanitary condi- tion. Meanwhile a member of the National Sanitary Company discovered a nuisance existing in the Washington warehouse of Mr. Mann, at the foot of South Capitol street, and sent a complaint to the health officer, which was kindly sent to Mr. Mann by Chief Clerk Tracy. This was adding another coal, and a red hot one, too, to the back of the sanitary company, and it pre- ferred charges against the chief clerk of the health office, which are now being con- sidered. While all this squabble was going on Mann took counsel. He “stood pat,” as the gamblers are wont to remark, and smiled a four-ace smile. Mann was hatching a scheme. “His silence irritated the sanitary company. What was he about? What would he do next? are some of the questions that it asked itself. Today he played his trump card. Another ‘Factory. He asked permission to erect on ground belonging to himself immediately oppgsite the Sanitary Company's plant a similar plant, to be used for the reduction of dead animals. That he is in earnest cannot be | questioned, and his letter to the Commis- sioners today, which is printed below, tells the story: “Referring to the notice of the health officer dated August 5, 1693, I beg leave to state that I have fully complied with the requirements of said notice, in that all dead animals collected by me are now con- veyed in housed wagons to the point of shipment (foot of South Capitol street) and there transferred to housed scows, closely covered, and thence transported thereon | to my plant down the Potomac. “At my reduction plant (on the east side of the Potomac river, four miles below the city) the carcasses are treated in the same way as at the reduction plant of the Na- tonal Sanitary Company in this city. “At this point I have conducted the busi- ness in strict conformity to the law and regulation of the Commissioners in this, 2 | sparsely settled section of the county of Washington, for a number of years without complaint from my neighbors, who are few. Although confident that my business has been and is now conducted in accordance with all laws and regulations I beg leave to submit to the Commissioners the fact that I am the owner of sufficient ground opposite the site of the building of the Sanitary Company, at the foot of South Capitol street, upon ‘which to érect a plant for the utilization of animal matter after the same fashion and with like appliances as u! by said company. It my’ wish and desire to comply with all laws, rerula- tions and requirements of the District of | Columbia, and I would ask of the Commis- sioners permission to erect on the ground hereinbefore referred to a building to be used for the reduction of dead animal mat- ter, agreeing to give bond fer and live up to the requirements of the Commissioners and the health officer as same may apply to and be required of the Sanitary Com- pany aforesaid.

Stobo Farrow, second auditor of the treasury, states that during the past fiscal year accounts amounting to $95,123,704 were passed and paid through his office. In the same time 186,258 letters were written. The “card in- dexing” system was partially introduced during the year with satisfactory results. Auditor Farrow concludes by saying: “Having taken charge of the office on April 8, 1893, the principal portion of the work, an account of which is contained in this annual report, was done under the di- rection of my predecessor. The clerical force of the oftice had been divided into eleven divisions until the ‘old army division’ was abolished by my predecessor, during the last fiscal year, leaving ten divisions in operation when 1 took charge of the of- fice, As the acts of Congress making ap- propriations for the expenses of this office have never provided pay for chiefs of more than six divisions the other four divisions were necessarily under the charge of four clerks of the classified service, designated as acting chiefs of divisions, which seemed to lack legal sanction. I have therefore consolidated several divisions, reducing the number to six divisions,and placed the whole of the clerical force under the charge of the six chiefs of divisions provided for by law. The six divisions thus formed are as fol. lows: Bookkeeper’s division, paymastet ordnance and medical division, pay and bounty division, mail and property divi- sion, archives division and Indian division. “It will be observed from the data con- tained in this report that the work in ar- rears has been diminished, and it is hoped that the reorganization will expedite the dispatch of business and that the work will in a few years be brought up to date.” ———- e-___ STOVES AND GAs, Mr. Cooper Wants Street Cars Heated and Cheaper Gas.

Senator Morrill returned to his seat in the Senate this morning after an absence of abcut two months. He was on hand at the beginning of the special session in August, but was compeiled to return to Vermont on account of the state of his health a few. days afterward. He made a speech in favor of repeal, however, before he left. He has returned to cast his vote on the bill and its amendments. He is much improved and looks to be in far better health than during the summer, When he appeared on the floor at 11 o'clock this morning he was im- mediately surrounded by Senators, all anx- ious to welcome him back to the Senate. o-— The Fisk Jubilee Singers.

Tomorrow's Star, Which WI Remarkable Issue. Many pleasant, things have been said by the public about the attractive appearance and interesting contents of last Saturday's mammoth Star. There are few, if indeed any, people in Washington who did not see that papér and find a good deal in it to hold their attention. Now all that need be said of tomorrow’s Star is that it will be a@ good mate for the issue of the preceding Saturday. In fact, it will, if anything, be an improvement. Experience, good judc- ment, a large staff of trained and talented writers, superior mechanical facilities and a telegraph service that extends to the utter- most quarters of the globe all combine to make The Star one of the foremost papers of the land. It will again appear in a twenty-page form tomorrow and the follow- ing may be mentioned as samples of the good things it will contain: A description of Mer. Satolli’s new home in Washing- | ton, supplemented by appropriate illustra- trations; views of three of the most promi- nent colored men of the country on the future of the negro race; an interesting account of the outdoor training and recrea- tions of the cadets at the Naval Academy, with illustrations; the recent French ova- tion to the Russians’ fleet, with character- istic sketches by Sterling Heilig; a visit to the realms of fiction resulting in several entertaining stories; an article on renting furnished houses, giving instances of what may happen ™ both owner and tenant; humor in the House by Amos Cummings, who relates some quaint and witty anec- dotes, &c; &c. But there is no need of prolonging the ist. Everything will be good and there will be plenty ef everything. “Twerlty inviting pages. ‘FORBIDDEN TO CATHOLICS. Decision Received From Rome Re- warding the Good Templars Order. According to information from Rome the congregation of the holy inquisition has de- cided that the order of Good Templars must be counted among the societies which Catholics are not’ permitted to join. The question was first raised by Grand Chief .Templar Frasier of Wisconsin, who submitted a request to Archbishop Katser to allow Catholics under his juris- diction to become Good Templars, stating that at the last convention held in Lon- don it was decided that Catholics could re- veal the secrets of the order to their con- fesor. Archbishop Katser at that time informed Mr. Frasier that he had decided against allowing Catholics in his jurisdiction to join the order. .This decision has been sus- tained and confirmed by the supreme body of the church which acted upon the appli- cation of the prefect of Norway, who pro- pounded questions for settlement involv- ing the penalty incurred in joining the In- dependent-Order of Good Templars. The questions were: “Is the Independent Order of Good Templars forbidden to Cath- olics in the constitution of the apostolic see? If not, are Catholics forbidden to join them under penalty of mortal sin?” In ‘regard to the first question no definite answer was given the simply written words . “Dillate,” which means, “Answer deferred.” To the second question an af- iirmative answer was made as follows: “Yes, the faithful are forbidden to join the Independent Order of Good un- der pain of mortal sin.” The decision is of no little importance to the Catholics, because the position of the Baltimore plenary council in the matter of secret societies is upheld by the holy see even in the face of concessions made by the representative orders that the condem- nation does not refer merely to the order, but to the principle that secret societies are inimical to the welfare of the people. ——+e+«_____ POUNDING ON THE ROCKs. The Steamship City of New York Promises to Be a Wreck. The Pacific Mail steamship City of New York, which sailed from San Francisco yesterday afternoon, went on the rocks at Point Bonita in a dense fog. She will prob- ably be a total wreck. Point Bonita is at the entrance of the Golden Gate on the northern side. Two hundred men have been taken out on tugs and more to follow. Most of the cargo will be a total loss. Estimates place the value of the vessel and her argo at over. $500,000. The vessel was built in 187 at Chester, Pa., and was rebuilt a few years ago. She was very stanch and swift. Among her cargo was about 20,000 barrels of flour. and 15,000 pounds’of beans for China und Japan She also caryied a large cargo of dried shrimps and other-Chinese supplies forward- ed by Mongolian merchants to China. She carried $191,280 for China and Japan, of oo three-quarters were in Mexican dol- At a late hour last evening the New York was hard and fast on the rocks. There was eight feet of water in her hold, *nd the tugs could not move her. All the passengers ; have been taken off and brought back to the city. ——__ ++ -____ German Failures.
