The : | case went onappeal to the Supreme Court Siandon Tuesday that tribunal unani- mously sustained the decision of Judge Adams.

The flames were discovered in pier 5 about 4:15 o’clock this morning and spread with such remarkable rapidity that it was impossible to make any headway against them. A fierce north wind fanned the flames into a fury and swept them across the docks to pier 6, which was soon burning fariously. Tho British steamship Clintonia which was 'oading with ail, tobac co and general merchandise at pier 5 was soon ablaze. This pulled her out into the middle of the river, where an ineffectual battle was waged at terrible odds against the flames that were raging in her inflamable cargo. “She was burned down to the water line at 10 o'clock tonight. The Norwegian steamship Sol- h was loading grain at The crew veig, whic pier 5 nest caught fir of this ship managed ._ g@imbing down the bawsers “pier. | Meanwhile e. to escape by edge. The German sailing ship J. D, Bischoff, taking on staves; from the north side of the pier 9, caught fire. Ihe flames obtainad guch a hold on her that they could not be confined and she went to the bottom at 6 o clock this afternoon. The crew of this vessel had a very natrow escape from being cremated. They were aroused by a Swede named John Anderson, and were only rescued with the greatest difficulty after the cupiain and boatswain had been badly burned. he hard north wind and the heroic efforts of the fire depart mest saved the large grain elevator of the Chesapeake and Ohio Company from destruction. The fire was rapidly spreading across the conyeyors that connect the elevator with the piers, but with the aid of a locomotive and an immense chain, the conveyors’ supports were pulled out, the oonveyors themselves torn down and this danger averted. Atlo’clock in the afternoon the fire had spent its fury and was well under control. | The injared so far as is known gre as follows: Captain Forrest, of the tug Wanderer, slightly burned about the-face and hands. hi Diggs, mate of the Wan- i bly Harned: about heed ui * .

Garnett, assignee, all properties held by Capt.Burruss individually or a8 a firm, to secure creditors. and this is probably a fact, as most of the property transferred is v :Juable city real estate which, probably realize more than the assets. In addition to this there property. The assignee is in- structed to wind up the business at once. Captain Burruss gives as the cause of ,the failure, hard times anda great demand for money. He says $175,000 has been with- drawn from the bank since July lst, and though offers of assis— tance were received from numer- ous banks at home and abroad, including a $60,000 offer from Richmond, it was deemed best for the protection of the depositors, a3 well as the firm, to assign at once, such action being ipevita- ble. | The bank was established in 1874,and did au immense business.
