Before the fire was discovered it had obtained such head- lway that when those who were early on the | scene at tempted to save any of the articles in the factory they were driven back by the ismoke and flames, and were forced to retire | without rendering any material assistance. | By the time the different engines and fire- | men on the scene and got to work, ‘the entire building was a mass of flames. The fire, fanned by the westerly wind, vl with alarming rapidity, the flames The heat from the | burning building was intense. The hose- imen were unable to get near enough to it to be of any great use, and were forced to leave the building to the fate which speedily overtook it, and turn their attention to the neighboring houses, several of which had already taken fire from flying embers. | To the west of the burning building was situated the butcher shop of Messrs.

cated to the double tenement dwelling- house adjoining owned by Messrs, Blake Bros. and occupied by Ralph Crock- ett, watchmaker, and by Wil- liam McGarrigal, baggage-master of the isteamer St. Lawrence. Messrs. Blake

Bros. had no insurance on the building, which was worth about $1,000. The fire in this building did not make any

very rapid progress until the wind changed to the north-westand freshened up somewhat, when the flames spread rapidly, soon raz- ing the building to the ground. The furni- ture of both occupants was quickly removed, litte damage being done thereby. Mr. Crockett had $300 msurance on his furni- Mr. MeGarrigal was not insured.

The insuflicient water supply and the unsatistactory state of the fire apparatus was painfully apparent. The tanks at McPhail’s and Dawson’s were both dried by Rollo, and the only source of supply left was Quirk’s, upon which Silsby drew largely until after five o'clock this morning. Shortly after Tremont got to work one of

Messrs. Mark Wright & Co., although severely scorched, are not yet out of busi- ness, and will attend to the immediate car- rying out of any erders with which they may be favored. They estimate their total loss at $20,000, and are insured to the extent of about 87,000.

The members of the different Fire Com- panies feel deeply grateful to the residents in the vicinity of the fire who so generous- ly supplied them with hot coffee and other refreshments.

Without Foundation.

New York, February 25 —The chairman of the MeGlynn fund to-day paid over to Fr. McGlynn a further instalment of $2,500. Fr. MeGlynn refuses to accept any more contri- butions through the fund, and he says he has enough for his wants. At a meeting of the McGlynn committee to-night it was asserted that Bishop MeIntyre, of Charlottetown, P. K. L., had sent out a secret letter to the clergy of the United States in which he re- quested the American clergy to denounce a certain Catholic newspaper which advocated the cause of Dr. MeGlynn

In order to asceriain the truth of the statement contained in the foregoing tele- gram, we enclosed it to Bishop MelIntyre’s Secretary yesterday, and have received the following reply :—

THEIR

The Irish Situation.

ARMS TO HOMES

TAKING UP DEFEND

The break down of the plan of campaign prosecution in Lreland is a great nationalist victory. The prosecution has failed in’ spite of the open efforts of the. crown to pack a jury and in spite of the bold defence of the same jury packing which the gov- ernment ventured to make in the House of Commons. This is a proof that the public opinion aroused by the debates on the jury packing in Parliament has begun to work in lreland, and | think the break down may be taken as the death knell of the jury packing system, The government, how- ever, will seek to turn it to advantage. They will pretend it is a proof that the or- dinary jury has broken down in Ireland and that consequently it must be strength-

ened by cvercion ; for to this the govern- meut ave now hopelessly committed. ‘They have embarked upon a polhey whose first

phase will be to exasperate Ireland and plunge her into a state of disorder which they will allege as an excuse for coercion. They will then ask the House of Commons for a Coercion Act. Meantime they are passing the new rules of procedure in order that when the time for asking for cvercion arrives discussion may be choaked off. Events in Ireland show that a troublesome time is aheadof us. The government have shown by the despatch of troops and police that they will give the reactionary land- lords every help in carrying out evictions. A sort of eviction campaign headquarters has been established in Loughrea, Galway County, and a gunboat has been sent round to Dingle in County Kerry with troops and supplies to co-operrte with the crowbar brigade in the wholesale extermination Lord Cork threatens on his property in Bodyke, County Clare, all of which points are on the Atlantic coast. There is, I fear, likely to be bloo ly work. The people have } armed themselves with ;ikes and Snider! rifles, uf which they became possessed two years ago, and they have barricaded their

houses, thrown obstacles across the roads, broken down the bridges, and . are, |

in fact, iu every way preparing for a defence of their homes against the large force that is being concentrated in the locality. Tenants elsewhere are also preparing for resistance, though nowhere on so extensive a scale as at Bodyke. The forced retire- ment of Sir Thomas Edmonde, M. P., from the shrievalty of county Waterford because he attended a nationalist demonstration will prove one of the many fertile causes Of trouble outside the actual land question. Sir Thomas, who has already appointed a sub-sheriff, who is not an Orangeman, is resolved tu contest the legal Qnerits of the action of the goverament in appointing a successor who has made an attempt to summon a diiferent panel. This will give great confusion at the coming assizes for | the county. Besides this the nationalist | ratepayers of the county Waterford are | likely to resist payment of the county} ‘‘eess” which wil! be imposed by the new | grand jury, and I would warn you not! to be surprised in case the govern- ment should persist in their policy of harrying the country a refusal to pay county ‘‘cess’” becomes as general during the coming spring as resistance to the ship money tax was in the days of John Hamp- den. The contest between the rate payers of New Ross and the officials appointed by the government to supercede the elected poor law guardians grows daily more acute. The rate payers, acting upon the principles of no taxation without representation wil] pay no rates levied by any but their elected representatives, and as these representa- tives have been suspended by the govern- ment for granting a better class of food to the families of evicted tenants, the rates continue to be unpaid and the government are getting heavily into debt. The report of the land commission is likely to have a sensational effect upon the crisis, for it not only admits to the full the gravity of the agricultural depression caused by reduc- tion of prices, but it also recommends Mr. Parnell’s plan for a revision of rents every tive years and the admission of the lease- holder to the benefits of the land act. In the face of this report how the government is going to defend its wholesale evictions, its suppression of tenants’ mectings and its prosecutions of Irish leaders for helping the tenants it is impossible to conceive. I be- lieve that the report, when it is thoroughly discussed, will have a tremendous effect in England. One hopeful sign of the whole situation is that day by day opinion in Great Britain is turning steadily on our side. A conspicuous proof of this is the recent election at Burnley, where a home ruler was elected by a majority of about five hundred to a seat for which a_ liberal- unionist was returned at the last general election.—T.

John Monroe, a Georgia farmer, living with his widowed sister, had a notion to dig in the cellar the other day and see what he could find. Jt was a good notion, for he unearthed $1,480 which his sister’s husband had hidden there twenty years ago.

A New York musician has been awarded $1,000 damages against a railroad company for the loss of his first finger, which pre- vents his playing difficult pieces on the piano. His neighbors are rejoicing that the company could not restore his finger.

A Nebraska farmer who lost $300 in cash offered $295 to the finder. It was restored by alawyer, who hung around for half an hour and then mustered up courage enough to ask if the loser couldn't split the difference on the $5 and make the reward $297 .50.
