LADY OF THE LAKE Almost; Destroyed by Fire Early This Morning. Need of a Harbor Boat Shown—Nar- row Escape From Suffocation— ‘The Boat’s History. The steamer Lady of the Lake was de- stroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. ie It was about 2:30 when Watchman Groves of the steamer Samuel J. Pentz saw flames issuing from the starboard quarter, well aft, of the Lake, which lay alongside the dock directly south of that occupied by the Peatz. He rushed to the harbor office, one dock to the north, and turned in the alarm. James Neal of the harbor office went st once to the steamer and gave th alarm ito Capt. Cooper and Quartermaster Keen, who were sleeping in the saloon. The: [ee barely time to escape in the clothes they wore, and lost all their per- sonal qffects. By this time all the steamer aft the engine room, from the waterways to the fantail, was ablaze. The flames were rapidly eating forward. Engine No. 4 was the first to reach the scene, and ex- perienced considerable delay, because the | ire phig to which it attached its hose was frozen, Engine No. 2 was the first to get a strezm on the fire. The chemical engine and trick C were early on hand. Then be- not only to ex- tingish that on the Lady of the Lake, but to protect the adjacent docks and shipping. till 10 o'clock that the fi sed| to burn, The Lake settled because of the| water pumped into her by the en- gines. |All the woodwork abaft the engine rom the hull up, is burned awa: eel houses are charred and shattel Ht the forward part of the ship is The stack and walking beam dnding. are many theories as to the origin fire, but none seems clearly satis- factory. That most put forth is that one of the; after lamps exploded. It is not known! that there wes any fire in that part of the} sbip where the flames were lirst seen. [fhe Lady of the Lake was owned by the People’s Transportation Compan but wajs net in commission—mainly becau: of the idispute which Las been in progress between the stockholders and the president of the jcompany. She ‘on hull steamer, with gross tonna, n length, 210 feet; beam, 31; depth of hold, 10, and nom- al hprse power, . She was built in ilmiigton, Del., in 1866. In 1874 she was taken {o Norfolk by George H. Plant, and In the winter of that 1e was burned to the water's edge explosion of a lamp in the lamp umidships. She was then towed to igton and rebuilt. Then she came to Washington for service in the aboard Coasting Company, of which John W. Thompson was president. She rejnained on this route, in company with tle till the Inland and Seaboa} hought by the Nor- folk arid Washington. Then the Lake was sold to] Mr. Agnew of Alexandria,jand b him tq a Mr. Lewis, and later @he was transferred to the People's Transportation line. She was insured, but for what amount could not be ascertained. i rbor Boat Needed. ‘The jiresent difficulties with the ice prob- lem, aijd last night's fire, revive the long- talked-pbf question of a harbor boat com- mensurjate with the demands upon it for generall service in this harbor. At the time oj the fire on the Lake the air was perfectly calm. With a favorable wind the river font would have been swept. Lying directly in line with the Lake were Samuell J. Pentz, Lovie Rand Joe Biickburn, T. V. Arrowsmith, Wake- field, Macalester*and several other craft, besides! wharves and wharf houses. The boats, by reason of the ice, would not have been able to move from their position. A harbor boat with fire-fighting apparatus would have protected them. Washington harbor has been a heavy loser by fire with. in service there. year s by the room, Wiimir around Inland in the fe There were the A’ menia, W. W. Corcoran, the big dredge, the W. W. Coit, the City of Alexandria, Hercules, Ella, Goldsmith Maid, Minerva and Stetson. Several of these could have been saved by the preserice in these wat- ers of @ fire boat. The boat would also pro- tect property within several squares of the river front. An adequate harbor boat would be strong enough to deal with the Ice in the harbor and relieve Washington of the | trouble and anxiety she has at every hard freeze. ‘The reporter for The Star talked with a number of the prominent river people, and they think a fast, strong harbor boat fs neeced. The constantly increasing e: cursion trade in summer ought to argue in favor of having a staunch, swift patrol boat in these waters. — Sunday School Election.

The Stavenhagen-Gerardy Concert.—An audience by no means commensurate with the ability of the performers or the char- acter of the program assembled at Metzer- ott Music Hall last night, on the occasion of the first appearance in Washington of Bernard Stavenhagen, pianist, and the boy violoncellist, Jean Gerardy. What the audi- ence lacked in numbers it made up in en- thusiasm, for the performers were encored after every number. Stavenhagen is a pianist essentially of the Liszt school, and he has all the force and brilliancy of that great master, who was his instructor. In the Liszt numbers he was at his best, par- ticularly in the Twelfth Rhapsedy, the ar- rangement of Schubert’s “Erl King’ and the transcription of the ‘‘Liebestod’ from Wagner's “Tristan and Isolde,” the two last being given as encores. With all his amic power Stavenhagen has an ex- tremely delicate touch, and this was es- pecially noticeable in the earlier move- ments of the Beethoven “Moonlight” so- nata and in the Mendelssohn scherzo. His work is al such as to command the attention of his audience, and he will win success on his merit alone. He is unas- suming in manner, but displays absolute confidence in his own pow ‘The instru- ment he used last night aided his efforts y nee and volume of ton: "= imply a wonder. There sters of the ’cello, although it is an in- strument that in its vibrant tone most nearly aproaches the human voice. Yet this boy in knickerbockers handled it like a veteran. His technique is perfect, and the wonder is that so frail a looking lad can give such firm bowing and such rapid runs. He y with perfect artistic feel- ing, and brings to his interpretations a mature intelligence that stamps him as the possessor of positive genius. His first num- ber, a fantasia and variations on Schu- bert’s “Le Desir,” by ais, proved: his remarkable talents, and at once captured his audience, who would not cease their applause until he returned and played Saint Saens’ “Le Cygne,” which gave him an opportunity to bring out some extreme- ly delicate and artistic sentiment. This was emphasized in a Chopin nocturne and a Mendelssohn song without words, while “Tarantelle” in a “Spinnlied’ and by Popper his marvelous technical skill were fully developed. For an encore he gave Schumann's “Evening Song,” bringing out the delicate sentiment of the composition with true musicianly feeling. Gerardy’s accompaniments were played by his sister in a very effective manner. The Stoddard Lectures.—Tonight at the Academy of Music Mr. John L. Stoddard will give his lecture on “Rome,” and this is one of the most interesting of the series It will be repeated at the matinee to- morrow. The matinee will afford the schcol children, who cannot go out at right, an opportunity to hear Mr. Sto¢ dard in a lecture that will be not only entertaining, but beneficial from an educa- tional point of view.

About the time the robbery was committed, he says, he met a stranger, who said his name was * and the latter invited him to accompany him to Phila- a. On the way to Kaltimore he say: showed him the silverware and jew- elry and asked him to sell some of it for him. This morning Detective Carter swore out a warrant charging the prisoner with bur- glary and went to Baltimore and brought him here. He will probably be given a hearing in the Police Court tomorrow. a The Coxt Found When John Raedy, the saloon keeper, at- tended one of the “athletic contests” at ensburg several days ago he was de- ed of his $65 overcoat, and was com- pelled to suffer the effects of the cold weather until be reached home. This morning about 1 o'clock Policeman Creagh recovered the coat from the house of John Contee and arrested John and locked him up.

The three colored men are held until the Maryland authori- ties can come for them. Improperly Advertised. In the cas? of Clara Wheeler against Charles R. McBlair the Court of Appeals has sustained the judgment of the court Telow. The case was one in which a sale of real estate, under foreclosure, was asked to be set aside on the ground that only one of two notes were due when it was sold, and also because the sale was improperly advertised. The Court of Appeals holds th: the fact th: but one of the notes was due and unpaid warranted the foreclosur preceedings, but held that the question of the alleged wrongful description of the property had not been properly brought be- fere the court. —— At All News Stands.

All the warrants issued and not served on violators of the snow law here prior to the signing of the bill destroying the in- dividual identity of the section west of Rock creek have been withdrawn by order of the proper authorities through Lieut. Swindells of the seventh precinct. Future warrants will be served as in Washington proper, and all regulations pertaining to the cleaning of sidewalks will be general in their sweep. The old ordinances, which caused so much annoyance in the courts, are now dead letters, robbed of their ef- fectiveness. The Georgetown snow law, under which Georgetown cases were tried, had several defects in it, which always gave rise to misconstructions and discus- sions. A Minister's Anniversary. The thirty-second anniversary of the entry of the Rev. Sandy Alexander of the colored Baptist Church into the ministry was celebrated here last night. The occa- sion was one that called forth all the col- ored Baptists of town, many from Wash- ington, and numerous representatives of other deneminations. There were nine Baptist ministers present, together with the Rev. Mr. Carroll, pastor of Mt. Zion M. E. Church. The addresses were fine and appropriate and the religious exercises im- pressive. After the anniversary exercises a supper was held in the basement, and $150 real- ized for church needs. A Soup House. At the southeast corner of 27th and N streets the Baptist Church has opened a soup house for the gastronomic relief of the worthy poor. Dr. A. W. Tancil is su- perintendent of the charity. The house is proving a boon to the residents of that section. It is in the midst of ‘Herring Hill,” the territory occupied almost wholly by the colored people of very limited means. Christia. sndeavor. Tonight there will be a mass meeting of Christian Endeavorers held at the Dum- barton Avenue Church. Representatives from the 110 branches of the society in the District will be present. The addresses will be of unusual interest. One of those expected is Mrs. Clara Hoffman of the pelyglot petition promoters. She is said to be a magnificent speaker. Her address will be on temperance. Notes.
