The flames quickly communi- catedlto the floor above. which were oc- cupied as an Italian boarding house, and contained a large number of lodgers. ~ So quickly was the place wrapped in flames that retreat for many of then) was impos- sible" and they were roasted to death. Others attempted to escape by Jumping fromiwindows and thereby received seri- ouagiujuries. Five are already dead, and one ether was said to be dying when re- mmr‘ “l to the hospital.

LONDON, January 31.-â€"â€"It is reported that the‘ Duke of Cambridge will resign his pos1tion as commander-in-chief of the British army in October next. and that he will be succeeded by the Duke of Con- nauuht, the Queen’s third son. The Duke of Cambridge is 71 years old and has been 111 the army 53 years and command- er- -in- -chief 34 years. He succeeded Vis- count Harding. He had a horse shot under him at- Inkerman. He is fifth cousin of the Queen and a grandson of George 111. The Duke of Connaught ls 40 years old and a briuadier general.

Smith made haste to escape with his family and saw no more. The Nottinghzun shaft. which was the greatest antmcite coal mine in the world, is nearly a total wreck. It had at one time an output of 3000 tons a, day, and netted the Lehigh Wilkesbarre Coal Company $500,000 profit last year. Five men are imprisoned in the mine and there is little hope of their being taken out alive. When the fall of rock took place John Dunston, the fire boss, was on his way from the fifth to the sixth lift carrying his naked lamp. This. it is said, fired a body of gas which exploded with great torce, shattering the gangways and breaking the timbers, and causmg large quantities of loose rock and coal to fall. The debris closed the outlet for the miners who were in the interior uf the mines making repairs, entembing John Cressin, David J. Williams, John Davis, Edvard Morris, and an unknown man. It is not known when those outside will be able to reach these men. It is firmly believed they are all dead. The cmnplctc list of killed is : Madul Ciarolunc, 51 years old ; Filamund Ciulru- lone, (9111117111111 (311111110111: :11111 :1 buy, $1111 of Filauluml Pusqnnlinn Cinrnlunc, Felice Cunie.

He Was Both a Wag and a Tyrant in His . Way. Arthur Woods, a Chicago detective, has accompanied the Forepaugh show for five or six seasons, says the Chicago Herald. He was a. particular favourite of the old man’s, and was with him a great deal. “The old man, or the governor, as most everyone around the show used to call him.” said Woods, “was a great man for practical jokes. He liked to play some trick on a fellow, and let him find out a wlnle afterwards who did it. He used to guy me a good deal, but when I gota joke on him he took it in good part and seem- ed to relish it. He was always the first one out of bed in the morning, and used to joke everyone else about sleeping so much. He did all the buying for the whole show, and a shrewder buyer never went to market. Any man who beat him out of any money was entitled to it. for he earned it. He was the best. loser, too, that I ever saw. He didnt seem to care whether he had a crowd or not; in fact, he rather liked to have an occasional spell of bad business. When the show was crowded and he was kept busy he used to get cranky. but when business was (lull he used to spend his time in playmg jokes on members of the troupe. Everyone about the show was afraid of him, though, for no one knew when his cranky spells were coming on. Even Adam, jr., whom the governor thought so much of and put such great confidence in, had to walk up to taw. But young Adam got the best of his father once in a while, and then the old man would wink and remark ‘What a bright fellow is that boy of mine.’ "Three or four years ago young Adam was over in London. He had spent about $10, .100, and didn’t dare ask for any more money. So he wired over to the gov- ernor that he had a great chance to get Some new attractions for the show. He said he could get two monkeys that were larger than horses for $5,000. The gover- nor congratulated himself on havan such a smart boy, and cabled him the money. He was telling everyone about his new attractions, and if anyone doubted the reality of the alleged biz: monkeys he would answer angrily. ‘l’shaw! What do you know about the interior of Africa! ()f eourSe they have monks there as big as horses.’ Next day emne a eablegram say- ing:â€"~‘l\Iouey revolved: nionks dead; much obliged, pap.’ The governor could never ; stand a joke about monkeys after that. WINDSOR, Ont., January 31.â€"A regu- lar old-time, canvas-covered pioneer wag- gon, drawn by two mules. attracted a great deal of attention at the ferry dock yesterday. The turn-out was the property of T. Hinckley. Mr. Hinckley, who is aCCompanied by his wife and six children, tells the following story : “ Fifteen years ago I was a prosperous and happy farmer on Wolfe Island. opposite Kingston. I heard many glowing accounts of the far west, and becoming fascinated with them, sold my hanlsome piece of property and went to Southern Kansas. It would take inrre than words to describe to you the suffering and misery we have gone through since we struck there ; but I may be thankful that I was able to leave. The only people making any money there are land sharks, who, by their falsehoods, lure innocent people to their lands. If we were successful in our crcps we could not realize anything on them. To give you some examples ; corn is selling at ten cents a bushel. oats at five cents, wheat thirty-five to forty cents, and other things in proportion. Five weeks ago we left the town of Coleridge, and although we have had some rough weather, yet the trip has not been unpleasant. I tell you, when I laid my eyes on Canadian soil yes- terday, my wife and I felt like new peo- ple. I am going back to my friends a few miles from Toronto.” “ One day about two years ago we had a collision doWn her; in Illinois a little 4353;.“ Three or four cars were aim-235.96.. We \\ ere all pretty well shaken up, and a Couple of horses and one little pup were killed. The old man piled out; of his car as fast; as he could to look over the wreck and see how much damage had been done. He gazed carelessly at the Va recked cars and dead horses, but tears came to his eyes when he saw that. the puppy was killed. ‘ I can get all the cars and horses I Want,’ he said, ‘ but that was the finest pup I ever owned.’ ” Mr. Forepaugh’s property, aside from his show, Consisted mostly of real estate. He owned no less than 200 rented houses in Philadelphia, and had some property in Hyde Park. He had been a widower for a long time, until three years ago, when he nmrfied a young wonnniium nnmh older than his son. His filst wife died of quick consumption. the result of a cold she caught in Chicago. Robert Dingess, of Chicago. has been the advance business inanageroftheshow'for 17 yous. lie was not out with the show 11st year, but had always laid out its mute and provided the advertising previously. Mr. Fore- paugh’s family has always lived in Phila- delphia. His father and two brothers are still living. In the early days the Fore- paughs had considerable in‘iuence in ward politics in the Quaker City, and according to some reports secured for Congressman Kelley, the Father of the House of Repre- sentatives, his first nomination to Con- gress.

Your readers who take the Daily Mail w ill get some \aluable information in the daily this week upon the Orange Incor- poration. The editor of the Mail has promised your correspondent to deal with the present Orange Bill in the editorial columns of Ottawa news showing the difference as compared with former bills. We more than suspect the present bill is well sugar coated for the Roman Catholic members. Special to the WAICHMAN. For the past three weeks revival services have been held in Graham’s ghurcl}, conglpcted by Rev. J. Curts and Rev. G. A. McCall, but owing to the ill- ness of the people from 1:1 grippe the meetings have been postponed. May the heahh of the pe )ple soon be restored and the meetings again continued, as several have been converted and we believe there are more to follow.

A great many of them are caused by pneumonia and heart afiections, following attacks of influenza. \I r. C. H.

In the Police Court this morning Joseph Brault, hotel-keeper, was chargad with a violation of the Liquor License Act in re- ceiving in pawn and in exchange for liquor a quantity of clothing from an old tailor named Robert Bates, who was indulging in a spree. This is the first case of the kind ever tried hire, though the offence is said to be quite common among hotel men. The Magistrate ordered the goods to be returned, and thrcatened to deal severely with future offenders in this line who came before him. The influenza is still very prevalent here and later cases are of a more serious nature. ' Rev. E. F. Torrance, of St. Paul’s church, referred to the epidemic havingr attacked so many countries, and said the people should consider the matter and see if there was not some general sin into which the people were drifting. and for which they were called upon to sufier. Rev. M. L. Pearson, who has been suffering with la grippe, was able to occupy his pulpit on Sunday. Rev. A. J“. Shorey is ill with an attack of quiusey.
