Such flree often start In the interior of target, pile* ot coal owing to heat developed by alow oxidation, which {^prevented by tbe sliie of the pile trGrn escaping into tbe air! Such ffree are difficult tu put out owing to the fact that the bnrnlng mas a turns the coal around it Into coke..wblch 1: nearly Impervious to wtfer.

Liuzzl and Madam Renaldi after each of their several renditions attested the high appreciation of their ability as musi cians by the audience. Sig. Liuzzl Is certainly a master of both harp and violin and his selections are executed in a manner that showB both natural talent and high skill and ability. His violin work was especially pieastng. Much praise Is due Mrs. Hell who vol unteered to accompany the Signor in! his violin solo, and her work shows that she also Is a muslon of note, that she also is a musician of note. Madame Renaldi again demonstrated that she is the possessor of a soprano voire that is second to but few. and her rendition of "Annie Laurie" last night was Indeed a treat. Her other, songs were also favorably received and her popularity as a singer grows nightly. The pictures for tonight will be up to the standard of the Gaiety ? only the newest and best.

How she remained afloat is a mys tery. * When the freighter limped Into Provlncetown. she was gulping up the ocean through n great 12-foot hole running from the rail to the water line. The I.lgonler had cracked her' bow open. The Saniurce's stern was part ly submerged. One heavy sea would have been enonsh to send her to the bottom. She was beached without delay From the little the five men of the Santurce could tell. It was believed that the oil steamer preceedd from the scene of the wreck to a point off Chatham or Wellfleet The terrific damage inflicted on the Santurce cauBCd fear among Prov lncetown mariners that If the Llgon ler had similarly suffered she might have gdne to the bottom. The news of the disaster came first In a wireless message from Captain Cates of the Ligonier. picked up at Boston : t "On board S 8. Ligonier off Cape Cod about ft o'clock last night. Have taken part of Santurco'a crew aboard but Captain Folker. chief engineer and remainder of her crew remained on board. Will try to beach her at once. ' Fog very thick.
