course for London.
Bapds of them engaged big "rubber

which they viewed the sights of the
metropolis and tossed coin to street
weepers and the unemployed whoclas-

crowdi of bowline bezears were follow
ing the vehicles. Traffic was blocked
along Fleet street and the Strand and
the police for a time were unable to
control the sitnttion. It finally became
necessary to demand that the seamen

Baffled in this mode of fun, the sea
men began hiring smaller vehicles The
more stylish the outfit they could find,
the better they seemed to like it. The
city had never seen anything like it be
fore, and the ancient American mode
of "spending money like a sailor'' has
now been adopted by Londoners as in
dicating the acme of extravagance.
The American sailors are being ac
corded every hospitality by the various
patriotic societies and an effort is be
ing made to make return for the cour
tesies extended to the British seamen
who participated in the visits of Prince

Lower Prices In This City.

but the produce and wholesale dealers
in the city do not believe that there
will be any great tumble In prices, though
there, teems to be a tendency toward
lower prices in a number of cases..
This is especially true in regard to
the wheat market The prices of f loos

has been over 85 -feats, but all of the

While attempting to secure a sum

the second story of his home which was
4etroyed by fire 'at an early hour yes
terday morning, Will Brock, colored,
was overcome by smoke and as no one
knew he was in the .building hie body
was fearfully burned before the blaze
was extinguished, From the few par
ticulars that could be learned in regard
to the tragedy it seems that Brock was
the first person to discover the fire and
at once gave the alarm. After be had
done this he secured a bucket and be
gan to throw water on the roof. Upon
the arrival' of the fire men he evi
dently remembered that he had forgot
ten to get his money and it la soppotea
rushed back into the building to secure
it . This was the last seen of him until
his charred body, was found after the
blaze had been extinguished, lS :

was found standing on one end and. was
but slightly damaged.
