Sudden Fire in Business Section ol' Lennox, Mass. A despatch from Lennox,~Mass., says: Six people lost their lives, (three others were badly burned, -and a property loss of between $200,000 and $300,000 was caused by a fire in the heart of the busi- ness section of this town early on Sunday. Four business blocks, two dwellings and two other structures l 50-1’- were destroyed. The dead are: Edweard C. Ventress, electrician; Mrs. Edward C. Ve-ntress, Miss Les- lie Ventress, Miss Alice French, bookkeeper; Miss Isabel Cook, bookkeeper; Miss Mary Sparks, school teacher. French was one of the pitiful tra- gedies of the morning. While the fire was at its height, a woman was seen to climb out of a flame- filled room onto a verandah on the second story, with her night cloth- 3 ing and hair ablaze. Staggering to the railing she leaped to the side- walk, landing in a heap within five or six feet of the blazing walls. Some of the horrified onlookers at- tempted to rush in to drag her out but the intense heat drove them back and not until several hours later, was the body recovered. HILL T0 nn'rilin wmuirnc. Great Northern Will be There by September, He Says. A despatcli from Winnipeg says: The‘ Great Northern Railway filed plans for its entry into this city, and President Hill on Thursday made a positive ‘declaration that his road would run into Winnipeg by September 1 next. This is one of the most important commercial incidents that could well be imag- ined, if the new line affords compe- tition, which now is lacking under the joint freight arrangements. Many big firms will save thousands of dollars, provided the Great Northern will give through rates from the ‘east on'tlie same basis as now prevails to St. Paul. _-__._.._ ELEPHANT RAN AM U CK. ‘:4 Killed Keeper at Des Moincs-â€"40 Bullets Shot Into Him.

The excited beast then ran through the animal park, uprooted small trees, destroyed three circus waggons and demolish- ed a bridge across a lagoon.

A despatch from London says: Toronto, April 13-flF1011rP-0n- Remarkable details of the on- slaught ‘of a thousand cannibal natives upon the Anglo-German Boundary Commission in unexplor- ed country in Northern Nigeria have reached London. A feature of the action was that British and German troops fought together to repel the native attack. ‘ At‘5 o’clo_ck, on Christmas Day the combined Anglo-German force marched out from Sonkwalla, an unmappcd place on the frontier, ,and subsequently divided into two ‘columns, the German commissioner, ~Licut. von Stephani (Reuter’s Agency states) being in command of one, and Capt. Heathcote of the other. Both forces soon became lost in the dense undergrowth and high elephant grass. The British heard lthe enemy hooting and calling in ‘the distance. They encountered l I l v l i offer-ed a splendid target for the MaXim, but tho gun jammed, and was out of action for some time. At this moment the rattling of the Germans’ Maxim could be heard on the other side of the hills. ' ' Capt. Heathcote having burn-ed some houses to indicate his where- abouts to the German column, de- scended to the enemy in the open. There a. brisk running fight was maintained, and the enemy were finally driven off. Meantime a. hird force, under Lieut. Homan, which had ben despatched from Sonkwalla, became engaged. News of the German column was only received on one return to camp. Lieut. von Stephani report- cd that at noon a very large force surrounded the German column in the bush and opened a heavy at- tack, in which Lieut. von Stephani was wounded in two places,-one of his non-commissioned officers being thegreatest difliculty, the track be- l also hit on the wrist, and two men ing completely blocked with trees, {being killed.

A dcspatch from Windsor, Ont, says: All hope has now been aban- doned for the tug George b'loss, which was reported on Thursday as missing from Cleveland, and the owners on Friday night gave out a statement to this eliect. Wreck- }age in considerable quantity has Ibeen coming ashore in the vicinity of Kelly’s Island and Put-in-Bay, much of it bearing easy marks of ‘identification. The ill-fated vessel, with nine on beoard, six of a crew and three passengers, were un- doubtedly engulfed in the terrific storm of Wednesday. The names of the missing are: William Berry, captain; Frederick Gilbee,. engin- eer; John Dailey, sailor; Peck McKenzie, sailor; Henry Anderson, sailor; John O’Donnell, a passeng- er, of Cleveland; Joseph Martin, a passenger of Wiarton, Ont, age 16. v ‘4 KILLED BY A STREET can." Two Boys Run Over at Montreal, One Beheaded. A despatch from Montreal says: A terrible double fatality occured here Friday evening, in which two young boys returning from church were crushed to death by a street car.

Although dangerously wounded7 Lieut. von Stephani brought the column out of aciion with great gallantry, bein" assisted by Capt. Moore, R.E., who was attached to the force. There is a switch at the corner where the cars are turned, and sud- denly the car backed up to take the switch, knocking the two boys down and running over them.‘ The acci- dent was n’ot noticed until the car passed, when their mangled bodies were found. ‘ Both were terribly {cut up, one boy’s head being com- pletely severed from his shoulders, while the older lad’s legs were cut off. Death i-n each case must have been insetantaneous. v 54 LOST IN THE WGOBS. Cardinal and King, Given Up Last Winter, May be Alive.

They lost their way coming from Smith’s camp, but now the report comes in that since they dis- appeared two men answering their description applied to a house out there for a meal, saying they had been lost in the bush for a time, but were making their way to an- other camp. q, BIZ-REED IN IIIS SHACK.

R. and Mechanical Unions Settle Their Dilliculties. ' A despatch from Winnipeg says: The question at issue between the C. P. R. and the Federated Mech- anical Unions of tho company, which have been a subject of con- ference, have been amicably set- Milch cows sold at tled and a schedule and working Calves sold at agreement eminently satisfactory will be the result. A matter of rime importance to the older men lcspecially is their reinstatement lots of fat hogs sold at from 7%0 to the pension roll, from which they were removed after the strike. This has been conceded by the com- pany. It has also been agreed that any of the mechanics who struck last Summer on the \Vestern lines, and who have not yet been taken back, shall be at once re-engaged if they desire. A number of men at Medicine Hat and several Western points will be benefited by this. As a result of the conference and the conciliatory spirit in which both sides approached the consideration, it is expected that a long period of harmonious relations has been in- augurated. The schedules and ag- reements have not yet been signed actually, but there is no doubt they will be immediately upon the re- turn of Grant Hall, superintendent of motive power for the company in the West. Only comparative minor matters of detail remain to be settled. . The company has been success- ful in its contention for separate and distinct schedules for the East- ern and Western lines, but the actual composition of the schedule committee to conduct the Eastern negotiations has not yet been de~ finitely settled. The \Vcstern lines desire representation thereon, but it is not likely that this will be agreed to. A joint committee to meet in Winnipeg and Montreal, however, is by no means an im- possibility. The Western unions have secured the closed shop and the integrity of their organizations, which was somewhat impaired h; the result of the strike. iii-3!‘I&>~w.:rae simawwmhk“ . _ IQ A‘ . ___._ __.._.__...__.___-m unmamrrrvws'atmmw-fi
