PriLADELPHIA, Dec. 20.--The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius left Philadelphia Thurs day to make a second test of her speed. She returned yesterday afternoon. The following is the official report made by a government expert, and was approved by the Messrs. Cramp and all the supervisors of the trip: “The Vesuvius returned to Cramp's ship yard at 1 p. m., Dec 28 1885. from her second trial trip. She made & run just before dark Thursday night under very unfavora- ea GT pn YVESCVIUS. ble circumstances, the wind blowing a gale and an unusually heavy sea running. Under these disadvantages she made a mean speed of 10.50 knots in two runs over a two knot course. The disadvantage of the heavy sea was much aggravated by the shallowness of the water on the measured course. It was also vonceded on all hands that the water on the measured course is much foo shallow to give the vessel a fair chance within at least 8 half to three-quarters of a knot per hour. “Yesterday she started to make another run, and had gone over three-fourths of the course in the first run at the rate of at least Fl knots, when one of the air pumps connecting levers broke, which necessitated the shutting off of that engine, and the re mainder of the run was made with the other engine alone. Under that disadvantage her speed over the whols course was 19.47 knots por hour, Thereupon the trial ended.” The Messrs. Cramp announce that they feel in duty bound to give another test of speed of the Vesuvius, but they will ask that the course be chosen farther down the bay, near the Breakwater, so that a clear way and an ample depth of water may be had, with every chance of the vessel to show her very highest speed. They have no doubt whatever that the Vesuvius will in every way prove superior to her contract specifica tions, and they are particularly desirous of showing that she is the fastest vessel afloat ————————————— ANOTHER ENGLISH HORROR.

The Magnificent Sound Steamer Is Totally B Destroyed. aa Nezwrony, RL L, Dec 31 -The steamer Bristol, of the Fall River line, was found to boon fire at 6: Ma mi, and In a short time was destroyed. No one was Injured, though a few Newport passengers who had retained in their staterooms to await a convenient hour for rising bad narrow escapes, and some of them lost all their clothing. All the bag gage, bowever, was saved The steamer's freight bad also been landcd before the fire broke out. The Fall River and Boston pas- sengery had all departed, the last train leav- ing just as the alarm was given check the flames, but the joiner work of the staterooms, saloon and stairways was as dry as tinder, and draughts through the steamer caused a fearfully rapid spread of the flames, #0 that before the fire department arrived there was a mass of fire sweeping ber almost from stem to stern. The Bristol was built twenty-two years 8g, at a cost of pearly $1,000,000, to run to Bristol in opposition to the Fall River line, When Jim Fisk got control of the Fall River line he bought the Bristol. The Bristol was insured for $450,000, but her insurance was but $300,000, which General Manager Kend- rick says will nearly cover the loss Industrial Progress.
