WATER HYACINTHS. ‘Whey Clog TraMc in Sume of the Southern Rivers, Duting the lest year experiments) have been tried, under the supervision of the Goverament, with the idea of ridding the Southern waterways of the hyacinth. As is well known, the vart- @ty known as the water hyacinth @preads so rapidly and has such a rank growth in Florida and Louisiana that It has derlously interfered with naviga- tion, and in some cases haa conipletely blacked streams which had hitherto been avatinble for the use of light-drati ateamers, The hyacinth has been ¢ pecially troublesome on the St Johns River, where various schemes have rapidly moving propelles, scheme was abandoned.

The firemen entered the base- ment of the house and found the blaze in two heaps of rubbish at opposite sides of the cellar. ‘The flames were quickly extinguished, but in spite of the precaution of police and firemen to avdld arousing the ten- ants some one ran through the halls yelling ‘Fire!’ while another person in the street turned in an alarm. The ten- ants rushed: pell-mell down the stair- cases und out on the fire escapes clad ‘only in thelr night attire. The panic was-soon quelled and every one went back to bed. Investigation showed traces of rubbteh on the sidewalk similar to that which had been cet afire in the celiar, indi- cating tuat the stuff had neen brought into the by, the incendiaries. It yas rubbish that would ourn slowly and give ont yolumes of smoke, The police concluded that the incendiaries wanted only to cause a panic which would af- ford them an opportunity for robbery when the tenants flew from their apurt- ments. Half an hour later, William Reillev. a printer, on his way home from work. saw smoke pouring from the basement of No. ® Division street, which is just around the corner from the previous fire. He ran to find a vollceman and encountered Policeman Dougherty. The policeman directed him to a fire-box and ran into the house which was rapidlv filling with smoke, and alarmed the occupants, They piled out into the night »|and shivered in the street while the firemen penetrated into’ the subcellar to extinguish the smouldering blaze in a t of rubbish similar to that found in the previous fire. ‘That ¢he blaze was the work of in- jcendiaries was proven by the fact that the subcellar had been broken into. yavid Mager, a tinsmith, who occupied he basement, was almost overcome by smoke and had to be carried out by firemen, Both fires were so quickl: ‘that the robbers falled of t discovered ir purpose, but reécelyed no report of any robbery.

Many others barely were saved by the herofo work of stable-hands and fire- men. > The ‘fire started tn the loft where there was a great quantity of hay stored. It is thought that tramps or stablemen were spending the night there and that sparks from pipes or clgare started the fire. It is belleved it was aocidential. ‘The flames had gained great head- way before they were noticed by sons in the street. An alarm wes in’ and the men in the office of the stable awakened. The fire by this time had spread to the section of the stable Where the horses were quartered and the animals were neighing frantically. Those nearest the doors were led out, but thirteen, terror stricken, refused to move from their stalls and had to be abandoned. The firemen devoted most of thelr attention to saving the, adjoin- ing building, as it was seen that little of the stables could be saved, BISHOP HENDRICK DUE.
