'THE DAILY. Er FIRES HERE AND IN LONDON. Comparison That Shows Efficien- A cy of Firemen. New York Sun. Loudon has more than a million more poypmiation than has New York, but in London last year there were 2654 fires, whefens the munber in New York was 5504-- or ssore than twice as many. Althodgh the number of fires occurring in London is much smaller pot only relatively than New York, fatalities are much more num- erous there than here. The present strepgth of the London fire department is 1,178 officers and men, while the regular force of New York, Brooklyn, and Queens is 2.575 in addition to a considerable' number of volunteer firemen in the rural por tions of (eens and Richmond, but serious fives in Richmond are few and in Queens borough, outmde of Long Islatel City, which has a uniformed service, still fewer, Of the 3,000 fires in London last year, 1,195 were from 'unknown caus es," 307 from defective lights, rd from children playing with matches, 135 from oil lamps, 205 from sparks from fires and two only wefe anthen- ticated cases of arson, a crane veiy much tore frequent in New York than it is in London. New York fire department reports are more explicit and satisfactory than those of the London department, for the mmnber of fires from "anknown causes' is very much less. Nearly a thousand fires in a year are directly traceable in New York to the misuse of matches and about 400 in a year are what is khown as chimney fires, for which there in a fine of #5 The houses in New York are gen- erally higher than those in Loadon and the dranght of chimneys aot only larger but the greater length of chimneys is an element of danger.

The New Amsterddm, which will op- en next December, will be one of the finest theatre struptures in the world. The building and lot will call for an outlay of $1,200,000. In magnificence of decoration it will surpass any the atre in America and compare more favorably with the best decorative art of Europe, displayed in the fam: ous theatres of the great continental cities. The auditorium will seat ab- out 2,000 people. The Klaw and Erlanger opera com- pany, with Jerome Sykes, will be pre: sented in a new vehicle--a musical co- medy called "The Money Burner," in New Haven, about October lst. After a season in the larger cities it will follow "The Country Girl" at Daly's theatre. One of the most important and pre- tentious dramatic efforts of the com: ing season will be Klaw and Erlan ger's production of Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn." Tt will receive its premiere, in Hartford, Conn., next November, Kiaw and Erlahger's production of the Drury Lane spectacle, *'The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast, | which - just" closed its season at the Broadway theatrg, bears the dis tinction of having shred a new re co! for attendan®® and receipts, both for this country and Europe. It was presented M6 times, covering a period of thirty weeks, to financial results which aggregated over $500, 000, and an attendance exceeding 450,000 people. During the past three months Klas antl Erlanger have had the greatest stage expert in America, visiting all thé noted theatres in London and on the continent, studying their stage ap pliances. His reports show that Am. ericans have nothing to learn of Europeans, either in the construction scepery, in the arrangement of stages, or the invention of stage ap pliances. ---- CASES FOR TRIAL. -- At County Court And Court Of General Sessions.

Edward Atkinson, i ki io Dr "Jock" HW ge Toit WHETHER INVITATION MONTREAL IS ACCEPTED. To The Men of The Fourteenth Regi- ment Must Attend Drills Or The Invitation Will Be Declin- ed. Jt seems very uncertain yet, that the invitation to the Hth regiment to go to Montreal for the coronation reé view. can he accepted. As was an nounced on Tuesday evening, at the mouries, its acceptance depends gl gether upon the non-commissioned officers' and men themselves--upon their ptiendance at drills. Notwithstanding the awnouncement on Tuesday evening, the attendance at company drills since then has not been good, and it looks as though the regiment was not interested in the proposed trip. It has been quite de- cided that no men will be taken on at the last moment, in oraer to fill up the ranks for the trip, and no one will be allowed to participate in the trip who is not present om every pa rade until the 26th. The battalion drill on Tuesday ev ening next will settle the matter. If there is an attendance of at least fifteen files per company, the invita- tion will be accented; if not, it will be refused with regret. It would be a great pity if this opportunity were allowed to slin, because the trip would be 'a very pleasant one for all con- corned, and it is to be paid for at government expense entirely The 14th has been greatly honored in re ceiving this invitation, the only regi- ments being invited on this occasion being the city corps of Toronto, Ot tawa, Quebec, St. Hyacinth and King- ston. ~The decision on next Toesday evening, as to the 14th will be await ed with interest. tog THE MEETING PLACE. Vereeniging, Where . Boer Dele- gates Gathered. Vereeniging, where the Boers met in conference and accepted the terms of surrender which closed the war, is a small hamlet and railway station on the main Cape Town to Johannesburg line. It is the first station in Trans vaal territory after the Vaal is eross- ed. Ouriously enough, the name itself in Dutch signifies "Union." It is some 963 miles from Cape Town, and about sixty miles from Johannesburg, and stands on the banks of the Vaal. Ver- eeniging has already achieved some historic fame from the fact that it was here the Transvaal government committed what was in geality the first act of war. About a week or so before the issue of the Kruger ultima; tum, the mail train was stopped by order from Pretoria, and gold to the value of about £300,000, which was being shipped to England, was com: mandeered. Lord Roberts' first bi- vouae in the Transvaal 'was at Ver eeniging, a few hundred yards from the railway station. The main sta tion buildings had been burned by the retreating Boers. The refreshment room was wrecked, but the walls were loft intact. This act of thoughtiul ness was at the time attributed to a sense of humorous tolerance, for some of the: wits of Boer army had chalked on . the building facetious greeting to lord Roberts, and = were no doubt anxious that he should have an opportunity of ifspecting their ealigraphic handiwork, which he did. The only industry of the plgee is a valuable colliery. ee Simp mim "Aphly my; dear miss, what are you going to domow that your college studies are completed rs ~and help mamma with the Bouse work 1" A Clerical Outrage. ivehop Spalding DE Says WOE 'are responsible Mor ares forthe. of the crimes committed in this world.

With the exception of the Blaven See, a fairly deep Swiss lake whose bright blue waters are so marvellous- ly clear and pellucid that objects at the bottom are seen with perhaps even greater distinctness than if the great mountain besin in which it lies were void and dry, without doubt the most extraordinary sheet of water ex isting in any part of the earth is "that bitaminpus lake where Sodom stood' --the Dead Sea. And well has the dreary and melan- choly inland sea earned its awesome epithet. For some distance round its shores, the great principle of life ap pears to be practically annihilated ; for with the exception of a few stunt od bushes, with bere and there a specimen | of the Apple of Sodom--a fruit externally apparently luscious and delicious, but internally but ash es and © Joathsome rottenness--every- thing is blasted as though the des troying myrmidons of the fell angel death were ever hovering over the doomed sterile waste. Its dismal, mel ancholy shores, saturated with salt and strown with lumps of sulphur and bitumen, present a spectacle of utter desolation; while its aerid, torpid wa ters, pungent and biting as vitriol, and too heavy and inert to produce any eslivening, rippling wavelets, lie sullen and funereal as though they realized that they were but the sepul chral pall shrowding the entombed re mains of the most wicked and most profligate cities which have ever sul lied the face of this fair earth. But now they are believed to lie sepmltur- ed at the bottom of that caldron of nauseols, stinging, sewi-ligwid (for one fourth of its bulk comsists of various pungent salts); woo wicked even for the earth to open and give them decent burial; while if any of thore wieched, uncoffined; unmpel'd miscreants, hy taking refuge in pits and - eellars escaped destruction by the fire and the brimstone which con sumed those cities of the plain, there they womld still lie; their bodies, ow ing to the preservative action of those salts, unaltered since the tine when they fell suffocated with the fumes of the burning sulphur, literal tv, like Lot's wife, turned into statues of salt. What a scene must have been enact ed while the destruction was in pro gress. The terrible firestorm comment ea suddenly, and without a moment's warning a tremendous thunderbolt or aerolite exploding immediately over the doomed sister cities; (see Joseph us, po 41) mighty tongues and forks of livid flame striking hither and thi ther; . streams of burning sulphur launched down upon the enlprits in flaming liguid torrents, eddying up and down the streets and flooding the houses in fluid firs; while a dense rain of bitter salts suffocates and petrifies those upon whom it falls And to all the terrors of the scene must have been added an earthquake causing the depression in which the dread lake now rests, Surely such a» pandemonium, such a terrible scene of fiery weird destruction, could never "have been witgessed before or after upon this cariify But a time © come when those rebels against the might of Jebovah together with all those who forget Him, and who secofi at the idea of being what is ealled "yeligious,"" will sufier a far worse penalty than those men of Sodom paid. 0, why will they aot, like Lot, escape from the dew tenction, and lay their sing upon Him who has paid the penalty for them upon the Cross?
