Occurred in a House in Cleveland, Ohio. UKELY FIXED T0-DA The Date For The Corosation Of King THE KING IS NOW ANXIOUS TO HAVE THE THING OVER WITH. Whitelaw Reid Will Sail For The United States at an Early ~There Will Be Some Fine Displays at it. London, July 10.--A decision with regard to the date of the coronation probably will. be arrived at to-day at a conference of the king's phy- sicians. The king is most anxious that there should be as little delay as possible, but the decision must de pend upon bow far his doctors can foresee the course of his convalescence. The Standard says it is believed thay they would be able to announce 'some date about the middle of August. There is little doubt that an early coronation is being held out to the king by his physicians as a stimulus. It is stated that the king's anxiety to be srowned is due to the alleged pro- phecy that he never would he crown- od, which is said to weigh on his mind. Whitelaw Reid says that he has re ceived no intimation that special cor- onation envoys will be continued, and that he sees no reason for altering his intention of sailing for New York on July 26th, The diamond that will be offered at the coronation bazaar in aid of the children's hospital will be the chief gem of the bazaar. It is the largest it the world, weighing 207 carats. It came from T, D, Hers' mine in South Africa. If formed the chief attraction in the jewel department of the exposi tion at Buffalo. It is proposed to sell it for $52,500. The queen and princess of Wales, the duke and duchess of Connaught, and many relatives of the royal family will attend the bazaar which will be the most brilliant ever attempted. The collection in the jewelry stall will be one of the finest ever got together, One Paris firm will send articles valued at $1,000,000. Besides the largest dia- mond, there will be the great Southern Cross, consisting of nine large pearls, forming a natural cross, which was found in a pearl oyster off the coast of Western Australia. This is valued at more than 850,000, It in stated that the prince of Wales and Gen. Kitchener will be present at the khedive of Egypt's formal inau- guration of the great Assouan dam in December. The party will after- wards visit Khartoum. The committer appointed by the ad- miralty to consider certain questions regarding modern types of boilers for the navy recognige that the- Belleville boiler, when new and in good condi- tion, is a good steam generator, but its rapid loss of efficiency in ordinary work in commissioned ships is of a serious nature. The defects that have heen developed in it and the great care required in its manipulation render it, in the opinion of the committee, un- desireable to use any more of these boilers in new warships. Lord Methuen's return to England hes been as quiet as lord Kitchener's welcome will be demonstrative. Lord Methuen remained in South Africa for a longer period than any other of the generals of the original army corps, of which #0 much was expected and hy which so little was accomplished. He has risen in the public estimation in eccpsequence of the way with which he persisted in seeing the thing through and, notwithstanding his final defeat and capture, he has a better public re- putation than Gen. Buller or the other generals, with the single exception of Gen. French. Both political camps will unite in welcoming lord Kitchener this week. His next command will probably be in India, but he will remain till the end of the year in England, where he can be consulted by the war and eolonial office respecting the settlement in South Africa. FLAG FROM THE VELDT. Was Wrapped Around The Body Of a Dead Soldier. London, July 10.-An interesting relic of the war in the shape of a flag of the nd Irish brigade, one of the two regiments commanded by "Col." Lynch, has been presented to the may- or of Kingston-on-Thames by a sol- dier just returned from South Africa. The flag, which is the Boer colors, bears the name of the brigade and the words, "For Liberty" and "Re member '98"--u reference to the Irish rebellion of that year. The circum- stanee in which it was found were dra- matic. Tt was discovered after an en- gagement wrapped round the dead body of one of the members of * the brigade. Pinned to. the flag was the fly-leal of a bible, on which was writ- ten in blood, "Send this fing to Dub- lin, and pray for the soul of Patrick Mooney. Good-bye." Great Geyser Discovered.

And Due To Disobedience Of Or- ders. Toronto, July 10.--Five firemen were killed this morning as the re sult of one of the most disastrous fires in the history of Toronto. More men, not firemen, may have been killed but it will be impossible to tell this until the debris has been removed. The fire was in the Mcinwosh warehouse, at the corner of Front and Geogge streets, which occupied half the block and clear through the esplan- ade. The fire broke out a few minutes before six o'clock. Twenty minutes later the walls of the building col lapsed. Two of the men were killed near the southwest corner, and three at the south-cast cormer. When the walls collapsed a number of firemen stood on ladders against the south wall, but every one thus situated mir aculously escaped. Chief "Thompson says that at least five deaths were due to disobedience of orders. A gen. eral alarm was sent in a few munutes before the collapse occured, The dead firemen gre : Walter 0. Collard, assistant man, Rose avenue hall Harry Clark, No. 5 section, Lom- bard street hall. Adam Kerr, No. 5 section, Lowbard street hall. David See, No. 5 section, Lombard street hall. Fred. G. Russell, No. Yonge street hall. Collard and Clark were married. Clark leaves three or four children. It was at first feared that seven men had met death, but after a roll call of the sections of the brigade, who were fighting the fire, chief Thompson announced that the five named above were all the dead. The building, which was formerly a street railway car barn, was over 444 feet Jong by sixty-eight feet wide and the walls were about thirty feet high with a flat roof. The fire hroke out at 6:15 o'clock and as the material stored in the building were inflam- smable it burned with great rapidity. The various sections of the brigade were scattered around the walls and many men were on ladders and on the roof when signs of collapse were seen. Chief Thompson ordered the men on the ground pe under the walls, to go back, and two of those killed were caught by the falling wall be- cause they did not at once respond to the chief's orders. At 6:40 o'clock the walls of the big building, released from the support of the roof trusses, gave way in all directions. Dozen of firrmen were on ladders around the | building and they fell with the walls, but thé only men buried beneath the debris were the firemen attending to hose lines and hydrants on the ground, who did not get warning in time to save themselves. When the walls collapsed the fire was, in a measure, smothered and a large part of the brigade at once turn- ed to the work of rescue. Only one of the men buried beneath the walle was recovered alive, a fireman named Tag gart. By 9:15 o'clock all the bodies were recovered and removed to the morgue. See, one of the victims, was a vet- eran of the South African war. Another accident that may result fatally was due to the fire. Charles 8S. Toplis, of the Parkdale reel, was thrown from the waggon while gal loping to the fire and the wheels pass- ed over him, breaking his back. fore- 3. section, -- Feel For Brothers In Toronto. In view of the lamentable loss of life in Toronto the flags of the fire halls of this city were half -masted to- day, and chief Elmer telegraphed, on | behalf of the Kingston firemen, a message of sympathy and condolence the families of the bereaved fire fight ors. WATCHING FRED RICE. | Officials Keeping Eye on Condemn- | ed Murderer. Toronto, July 10.--A sffict watch is being kept on Fred Lee Riek, the condemned murderer of constable Boyd. In nine days he is to die, he has said that a rope will never go around his neck. Every precaution is being taken to keep from him any- thing which would help him to take his own life. He has, it is said, little hope of the success of the latest scheme for a respite, and is attending to his spiritual adviser, Rev. Robert Hall. "I you bave to die," his mo- ther wrote, 'my only hope is that you will be prepared for the end." Government inspector William Greer, case at Hilton, in Northumberland county, has returned to the city and placed the facts of the case before the department. The case, according to the detective, was one of suicide and not of murder. Lambert was arrested on a charge of neglecting to support his family and failing to provide his wife with proper medical attendance. The electrical workers' strike which has now run six weeks is believed to be nearly at an end. Out of 150 men who went ont shout 100 have return. ed to work under the terms they have been asking, namely, fifty cents an hour and an eight hour day. Fifty-five men are still out and a settlement re ed at a conference with the employers' committee to be held to-night. Six Deaths From Hpat. Pittsburg, July 10.

Tired Of The Fierce Battle With Conscience, Murderer Tells All, Then Ends His Life. St. Louis, July 10. --<After ten vears" battling with a conscience that tortured him, E. E. Shannon, aged twenty-five years, of Winstanley Park, East St. Louis, con- fessed to his wife a crime committed ten vears ago, and then committed wui- Shannon's death revealed the se that he had carried so many Years, and cleared away a murder my- stery that had long pugzied the auth- ortties of Clayton, a small village in Montgomery county, Ohio. Four lives paid the penalty of a game of cards engaged in by young men of Clayton. I'wo men were killed in the fight over the game, a third was legally execut- of the first two, and a fourth (Shannon) found relief in death from the burden on his con- science of being responsible for the death of the other three. When a boy of fifteen years Shan- hon engagod in a game of cards with a friend, and two other young fellows, All of the youths were drinking. Shan- non won, and was accused of cheating by two of the party. A fight followed, and Shannon drew a revolver and fired several shots, killing the two fellows who had attacked him. Leav- ing the bodies in an out of the way place, where the tragedy occurred, Shannon and his friend fled Shannon left Ohio and became a wanderer over the country. is friend remained behind, and paid the penalty of loyalty to his companions with his life. The young fellow was arrested for the murder of the two men, whose bodies had been found lying near the gambling table. He was convicted. He went the scaffold and died, without revealing Shannon's name. Shannon learned of his friend's death through the newspapers, and, haunt- ed by the crime he had committed, fled farther from the scene. He wan dered over the greatest part of the west, doing odd jobs here and there, but never remaining long in one place. When the Spanish war broke out Shannon, ruckless of his life, joined the engineering corps, hoping that he might find death fighting for his country. He served through the entire war without receiving a scratch and was discharged. He sought his family, hoping to find relief from his tortured conscience among his relatives. He married and determined to settle down in East St. Louis, and led a quiet, retired life, in hope that he might in some way at ove for his crimes. But his conscience gave him no peace, and life becathe & burden. He determined to end his life and find peace from the pangs of conscience that had made his life miserable. Go ing to a drug store, he purchased a bottle of chloroform, telling the drug gist he wanted it to make 4 liniment Carrying the drug which was to end his life, Shannon went to his home. Just before rotiring Shannon told his wife of the awful crime that had weighed hii down for so many vears He told her all the terrible details and how he had been tormented hy his to 4 conscience and v \ to Toronto fire cepartment and with | conscience and had in vain soucht to forget the deed, but that the blood of the man seemed ever before him, and that he had determined to put sn |end to a life that was so full of re morse and fear. His wife quieted him and assured him that she would help him to try and forget the past, an making him womise that he would not take his ife, she fell asleep. Shannon waited until he was sure but | his wife slumbered, then quietly took some bedding out on the front porch and wrapping his head in a sheet sa. turated the sheet with chloroform.
