poeses A. couple of years ago, being de-
sirous a learning BOMO useful occupetion
in America, I amend an advertisement
in a London paper, which set forth in
lowing terms rhe delights of a gentleman
farmer s life in Ontario. I had no bainees
experience at the time and relied upon the
judgment of my father, but he was largely
influenced by nay onthueiesne for the free,
advaturous life of /militia, as I pictured
it. Buffalo Bill was then in London, and
eomehow I mixed him up with my dreams
of life hi Ontario, and so did a great many
other young Engliehmen who fell into the
sera trap because they only saw the senti-
mental eide of the life.
ere PEOPLE BANDED OVER THE MONET,
thine ing it was a good investment, and
t hat I was goieg to Dpend a pleasant year
in the conntry learning the business which
was afterwards to make nm rich. The
most plausible Wee were told, and the Stun
involved was not large—I believe about
$1,000—and it was only the great number
of victims ensnared that made it profitable.
The money was paid in cash and the other
parties were to pay all my expenses out to
Ontario, where I was to work with a farmer
for a year and be supplied with pocket.
money end a certain percentage ot the
profits. When the time came for sailing I
found two other young men were coming
out with me and thst we were to be met as
New York by an agent of the mythical land
company which was running the bueiness.
Neither of the other fellows knew any Male
about what we were going to do than I did,
and I was only 19 years of age at the time.
"We bad a firstmlass pangs oat, but
on a temday boat, which did not cost over
d50 apiece. Arrived at New York, a man
met ns and hat:teal ns our tickets to
Niagara Palls and to a small oonntry tewn
In Ontario, but he said he did not know
anything more about it, and refused to
give us money for our expenses in New
York. We went up to Nisteara Falls and
stayed there three days at our own espense
and then went on. The waggon met us at
the station and we were taken to the farm,
where the proprietor at once began to
grumble because we had wasted four days,
he aid. Things were very different from
what we expected. It was a most dreary
region. The first night at a meal they
called " aupper " the fernier got mad at me
when I asked for a glass of ale, and said we
would be mede to give up such arietocratic
-notions. The next morning we had to get
up before daybreak, at about 4 o'clock, Lena
go ott to work in the fielde.
"TE FARMER, WHO WAS A ST1RLY,
ill-tempered brute, anxious only to gee as
much work as possthle ont of ns, had. we
afterwards learned, discharged hi hired
man in anticipation of our coming,. Instead
of receiving pay for our work we were
actually paying high for the privilege. We
all worked so hard the first day that we
nould do nothing for two or three days
after that, being sore all over, with swollen
bands and feet. We had to sleep in a
wreto'ned garret where it was frighttnlly
cold, and they wouldn't give ns a light to
read cr write by at night. We newt to lie
in bed and teak over our hard lot and tbe
homes we left behind, wondering sbould
we ever see them again, and often we cried
ourselves to sleep.
" The food we got was wretched, and we
began to lose flesh rapidly. The people we
met were rade and untutored, and thengh
well-intentioned, no doubt, were not the
kind of people we could associate with.
We were regarded with a prejodice because
we were Englishmen and better educated
than the rest, and the old ruffian we worked
for, I think, took a delight in taking it ont
of ns, as be said, and humiliating us in
every possible way."
It was not many weeks, said Mr. Johns
before they all agreed that this thing was
not at all whet tbey expected,and the sooner
They quit the better. Then they found they
were tied down by an iron -bound egreeneent
to the farmer, wbo was very emotions about
letting them go out of hie eight. They met
a young Englishman workine for a neighbor-
ing farmer in the same plight as themaelves
who had tried to run away and been brought
back, and he described the life as worse
than slavery. They heard of sirciler oases
all over Ontario. In may cases wealthy
young Englishmen bed been lured in to (parry-
ing with them an immense outfit of clothes
and linage, which they relinordehed and
left at farms rather than stay cnt their
time. They were nearly ell penniless and
'friendless in a strange country.
"X WROTE HOME,"
sane Mr. Johns, and meanwhile defer
mined to run awey at the first opportunity.
I had a little over $16 left, all I had in the
world, and my companions were even
worse off. It was agreed that if I were
to get money from home or elionld any of
elne nthers before a certain date, we would
divide equally and skip for New York and
thence to England. Our safferinge from
exceesively laborioue work and inanfficient
food enally got toeendnrable, and one dark
nieht I °raveled along the roof and dropped
to the ground after bidding my companions
a tearful good-bye. They were only wait leg

the following fate ;
The lynchiog party Was organized bi/.
Tag Johnson and Ole Sletta. About thirty
persons met at 7 o'clock Sunday night and
went to Claude house. They hurried the
dead man out of bed in his shirt and rolled
hionround in the enow Hie wife then
handed his clothes out of the door. A rope
was put around his neck, and he was told
that he would be given twerity.foure to
leave the country. Ilis exact anima Was
"This is my home, and I am going to
stay here till God takes me away."
The rope was then thrown over the lower
branch of a tree and drewn taut. Then
it was loosened, and the leaders of the
crowd began to parley with him.
"Boys,' he answered he a pleeding way,
"you don't know whet yon are doing. Yon
will bo sorry some day. 1 shall remain
here."
Dick Martin led the conversation, and
insisted that he must leave or hang.
"But I have done nothing, he replied.
"Why should I leave the country?"
" You plugged a grub and put it in
Serand's wood -pile," said Martin.
"1 have been punished for that in the
penitentiary. I have a right to live here,
ad I intend to do so. You have no right to
disturb me," he answered.
The rope was again drawn tight, and
Olson was lifted from the ground, but let
down gasping for breath. Then the parley
was resumed. In the midst of the hubbub
Mrs. Olson came to the door and began
to talk to the crowd excitedly.
elhe -told them of Olson's depravity,
how he threatened his family as
well as other people in Whitehall
and Blair, and she cried and begged them
not to leave him with her any longer. She
was afraid of him. Her spew& worked the
crowd to a fever hest, and a vote was taken
on the question of hanging Olson. It was
almost unanimous that he °tight to die. A,
rush was then made for the doomed man.
He was dragged to the tree again, and
strong men tueged at the rope till his head
was forced tightly against the limb. One•
of Olson's daughtere, aged 14, stood at the
window watching, and when her father was
palled up she exclaimed : e Now he

QUITE A TALL TARN
About an wneeed. Professor's Experiments
with Poor Humanity.
A St, Petersburg deepatoh says: Reports
come from a distant village in Southern
Russia of the performancee of the Count
Zonroboff, a nobleman who paws as an
amateur doctor , and scientist. He was
recently arrested, charged with cruelty to
obildren, but awed through a teohni-
(whey. It appears that he bought four
children 3 years old, from poor parents,
and confined them in separate rooms.
They were taught absolutely nothing, and
were waited upon •by a deaf and dumb
attendant. They were plentifully supplied
with food, and the rooms were large and
well warmed and ventilated, but they were
allowed no olothing. In fact they were
oe-ged like bears. La explanation of his
conduct the count explained that he was
endeavoring to discover what instincts
were neoural to the human animal. It
was proved that he never struck these
nufortnnate children, who developed into
perfect wild beasts, unable to talk and with
no notions of decently. They would howl
and snarl and tear their food like animals.
Since his trial the count hoards his
proteges with diffirent families, and will
educate and provide for them during the
remainder of their lives. Men of science
are interested in the problem whether they
will be e.ble to restrain the children from
their savagery.
Betraytd and Murdered.
A last night's Boston despatch says:
The police here are searching the tidy for
one Henry Duggan for being a party to the
death of Mimi Lay MoInnes. Mies Mo.
Innes comes of a good family in Prince
Edward Island; and eanati here like many
Canadian girls to try to support herself.
She met Duggan last year, and nneer pro•
raise of marriage he betrayed her. The re-
sult is motile, imagined, and at his advice
she sought medical treatment to hide her
shame. She was treated by Dr. C. X.
Eastman, of Columba avenue, and not
following bia direotions became 91, dying
in the hospital on Saturday. All efforte to
make her expose her lover were unavailing,
but his name became known through some

The ph sician is enderarrest, and the
body was sent home by express this even.

An Ohio Mirage.
An Aehland, O., despatch of yesterday
says: A remarkable -instance of mirage
was witnessed here yesterday about 4
o'clock in the afternoon. It presented the
picture of a well.defined city, full sized,
though of course inverted, it appearing like
a large city anspencied in the air, or falling
through it, as the ground on whioh it stood
was not reflected. The church steeples
-walls of the houses were slightly inclined.
The pheieoraenon seemed to be only a few
hundred yards above the earth, and was
visible for nearly three-quertere of an hour.
The weather wee clear and calm, with n
cloudless sky. Many speotators :Maimed

A MOCK els/cite AGE
Which Turns Out Seriously For a Former
Hamilton Couple.
A Fall River (Mas) despatch of yester-
day says: Charles Perron and Laise A.
Michend, of Globe village, two young people
who recently oame here with their pareuts
from the neighborhood oe Hamilton, Ont.,
were married yesterday under somewhat
romantic OLMTIMEWRI1068. Both are respect-
able young Frenoh-Canadians, and a few
weeks IWO they met at the house of a
mutual friend, where a little private enter-
tainment was going on. In a spirit of jest
a mocLk marriaee was proposed, and these
two volunteered to not the leading roles,
and a young roan named Bishop acted as
the officiatieg party. Nothing more was
thought of it until the young woman com-
menced to be tormented by her associates
at the Laurel mill with the fact, and later
emendations dories came to her ears. This
worried her so muoh that Labe sought the
counsel of the Dominican fathers of St.
Ann's oharoh, where she is -a communicant.
He advised her that Bina this folly.had
given rise to the scandal, providing the
young man was willing, the couple should
be legally married. Perron was Been, and
agreed. The caw was submitted to Bishop
Maki& who consented, under the circum-
stances, to give tho couple a dispensation,
and so they were marled.

Twenty Thousand Boomers Invade the
Cherokee strip.
An Arkansas City despatch says: To-
night it is estimated that from the different
points of entrance 20,000 people have
pursed the border into the Cherokee strip,
and half that number staked their claims.
All day longlines of canyasmoveredwaggons
were crossing the border. For a monththe
boomers have been withering on the fron-
tier. At all the principal points of assem-
bly "boomer" associations were formed. It
is the general belief among the leaders that
Preeident Harrison will not insiet upon
their removal when once the settlers are
established on their claims. The excite -
meet here equalled in mintensit ioh
alp
accompanied the invasion of a
year ago. The invasion cametwith swish.
No one expected it. The tenants of the
strip, the Cherokee Live Stock Association,
and the agents were taken unawares. Chief
Mayes, of the Cherokee Nation, placed at
the disposal of the former a contingent of
Indian.police, but they were powerless to
cope with the invasion. So far as known
the small military force in the strip had no
effect in retarding the movement. The
herds of cattle grazing on the strip stam-
peded at the eight of the invaders.
AT LONG RANGE.
Would Do John Good But Like Him Hest

A San Francisco despatch says: Mayor
Pond to -day approved of an ordinance,
pleased by the Board of Supervisors, pro.
viding for the removal of the Chinese to a
prescribed section in South San Francisco
on the ontekirts of the city. The law de-
clares it unlawful for any Chinese person
to reside in or to carry on business within
the city limits, map, in the district deeig-
noted. It requires the removal of all
Chinese to this district within sixty days,
and declares a failure to complywith the
ordinance, punishable by imprisonment,
notwxoeeding six months. The city and
county attorney has deolered the ordinance
constitutional. The greater portion of the
Chinese population of San Francisco, esti-
mated at 40,000, is now located in " China-
town " adjacent to the business centre, and
if the order is enforced it will work' a
marvelous change in that tomalley. It is
understood the Chineee will test the con-
stitutionality of the ordinance and will
take no steps towards abandoning the die.
trice they now occupy until the question is
decided by the courts.
Rumors of War.
A Vienne cable says: The Sabbath still-
ness of the city has been disturbed by
the arrival of two bits of information of Inc
from peaceful iraport, which are nnfortnn-
ately better founded than is motel with war
rumors emanating from this alarmist
garter. A reinforcethent of Russian
troops on the Galician frontier by two
infantry brigades and six field batteriee has
been ordered by the Russian War Office.
The newspaper Bulgaria, the semi-official
organ of the Bulgerian Government,
announaea that at the meeting of the Grand
Sobranje at Sophia next month the majority
of the delegates will demand Premier
Starabonloff to throw off the sovereignty of
of the Sultan and refuse to antinne the

is expected in consequence of this news at

Th roof seemed sound and the wall ea.
stantial, but suddenly the walls yielded.
A man threw up his arms and wink into
tete seething ruins below. Another men
dropped, and then the whole roof, with
fifteen men on it, fell on thetop floor where
the fire was raging: Four men were on
the upper floor under the roof. Thee
were °rushed beneath the grinding timbers
and all the men hurled through the falling
floor, which gave way beneath the weight
of the mass.
One of the firemen on top of the adjoin.
ing building ran to the front of the huiloing
and shouted to those below, '1 For Goa's
sake throw water into the upper windows,
twenty men are buried there.
Instantly ambulaisces were telephoned for
and presently the crowd below moaned
under the portentions developments. The
scene on the heap of debris immediately
after the collapse was pitiable enct dreadiul
beyond all description, The limbs of men
here and there were seen writhiog, Wade
the trunks to which they belonged
were buried from sight. A ladder lay
across the three men and was -weighted
down by tons of brick and timber. An-
other poor fellow, who was beyond all pain,
lay clue beside his fellows
A SHAPELESS AND MANGLED MASS.
The ladder lay across tbe stomach of 0115
man who was screaming with agony.
Another man with a broken arm and
twisted body lay next to him. As fast as
willing bands could hurl away the bricks
the weight was removed, but the ladder
was too firmly held to yield. The men
with a broken arm was dragged free and
carried sway. Under hint, mute but
breathing, appeared the npeurned face of
a poor fellow not seen before. The mortar
and dust were cleaned from his lips, but
he was buried so deeply that no immediate
help could come to him.
THE WORE 01' RESCUE.
The debris had fallen with a valley -
shaped outface, and this made the avail-
able space for work very small. There was
no place to deposit the materials dog from
the bottom of the valley except to throw
them upon the skies of the depression, from
which they continually rolled down toward
the centre again. All the wotk of relief
was thus carried on with great difficulty.
One by one the men were extricated, but as
the workers went on further they discov-
ered new victims, and the horror steadily
grew. The forward part of the building
OM stood high and burning fiercely, and
threatened every moment to fall and bury
the resourers, hut they gave no heed to the
peril. On either side the walls towered and
seemed ready to fall, but there was no time
to think of them. As fast as the workers
became exhausted others filled their eleoes,
so there was not a moment of delay in the
labor of relief. Every moment was filled
with an awful anspense, for all were think-
ing of friends who lay buried beneath them
At this hour (11 30) twenty-two men have
been taken from the ruins, twelve of whom
were dead, and the rest more or less in-
jured. Others are known to be under the
debris, but have not yet been reached. Tbe
following is as complete Ls liat of the killed
as can be secured at thie hour:
THE DEATH ROLL.
George Glenn, George Faulkner, Andrew
Cherry, Albert Huffman, 'Ulysses Glazier,
Richard Lowrey, Thermo Blank, E.
Stormer, John Burkhoult, Wm. Heinzle,
fireman; Chas. Jenkins, pipemen ; Samuel
Neil, Captain. All were fireman. There
were 17 wounded.
An Indinspolia despatch of last night
says: A great throng surrounded the
ruins of the Bowen -Merrill book concern
this morning. An army of workers are.
busily engaged carting away the debris to
exbnme the bodies of the dead and injured
leaded there. The voices of several persons
in the ruins can be dearly heard above the
noise of the workmen removing the piles of
brick and broken timber.
The list of the dead as Inc as known is
as follows: Andrew 0. Cherry, Superin-
tendent of the fire alarm telegraph ; Geo.
Faulkner, engineer, still pinioned in the
ruins; Espy Stormer, nipemant still in the
ruins; David R Lowery, pipeman, still in
the ruins; Ulysses G. Glazier, fireman ;
Henry D. Woodruff, pipeman ; George W.
Glenn, pipeman ; Anthony Volz, driver;
Themes A. Black, truckmare
The injured number eighteen. The fire
originated in the basement from the fur-
nace, but in what manner is not known,
The furnace was recently refitted ad was
supposed to be in good condition. New
flues were supplied by a Chicago firm at
the opening of the winter season.
The body of Espy Stormer wee taken out
of the ruins of the Bowen & Merrill book
store to -day. Ono leg was burned entirely
off. It is thought be died of the agony of
the burning leg, as he received no other in-
juries. Henry Woodruff's body is now the
only one left in the ruins.

A New York Herald speoial [Aye ; The
Koellnesche ',Tatung says the Chancellor is
almiit to retire from all his office& and a
waned of Ministers to -day considered the
question of his retirmeut • From good
private inforraation I am inclined to think
thin announcement, premature, and that
the Chancellor will remain, supported by
an entirely new party combination.
A teerlin cable says: Prince Biernarok's
reeignation of the Charecellorehip was
Accented by the Emperor at noon to -day.
Ad the members of the Prnseian Ministry
reigned at the same time that Prince
Bianterck tendered his resigeation. It is
wetted in weleinformed moles that the
present difference between the Emperor and
Prince Biemarok is Irreconcilable. It has
arisen from the Chenoellor's refusal to
accede to a request ramie by Dr. Wind-
-thirst, leader of the Clerical party, to
restore to the Duke of Cumberland, the
claim:ant of the throne of Hanover, the
larger portion of the Guelph funds. The
report is repeated that the Emperor pro-
poses to appoint,General Von Caprivi, who
is now commander of the Tenth Army
corps, to the Chancellorship. The attitude
of the Emperor in opposing Prinoe Bis-
merek in this matter is Mame as an indica-
tion of his deeire to concilia:w the Clerical
party. If the Government is to secure a
working anejority in the new Reiohstag, it
cannot well get on without the party of thm
Coutre, whioh Dr. Windthorat controls.
When t'ne public worship estimates came
up for disonesion in the Lower House of the
Parisian Diet to -day, Dr. Windthorst said
it had been his intention to review the
position of Catholic's in Prussia, but he
ooald desist owing to the uncertainty of
the politial situation.
Tne Emperor has called a meeting of the
comrnandere of the orations army corps. He
had a conference with the Minister of War
tbis afternoon.
Tim National Gazette says : "The grati-
tude towards the restorer of Germany thee
is filling the hearts of Germans at this
critical time proves Prince Bismarck will
lag be regarded as the personifiation of
Germany's growth and prosperity." The
Natzonal Gazette believes Count Herbert
Bismarck will remain in office.
Tbe 2'agblatt, which always opposed the
Prince, says he represented to the Germans
the apnoea° architect among those who
built up New Germany, and to foreigners
he persortided the strength and glory ot the
Fatherland. The Vossische says the
Prince is such an overwhelming factor in
the politica of his country that Germans
have diffioulty in gettine accustomed to
the new etate of things. °Another paper,
an efficious one, too, says Kaiser William
tho Se•condes reign has now begun in
earnest. Tbis is only one specimen of the
poisoned arrowshurled at what is supposed
to be felliag greatness by men who thrived
for years on the dust licked from shoes
whose latehets they were unworthy to nn.
loose. The Bourse is little affected by the
news. Oa the streets there is no more
excitement Ulan usual. In front' of the
Bismarck palace this evening there was no
sign of a crowd, althoneh there were lights
at many of the windows. At the gate the
only detective was one in plain clothes who
alwaygatands tbere. All talk of a successor
to the 4Ihancellor is idle.
A Vienne cable says : The confirmation
given by the evening papers cf the report
that Prince Bismarok's resignation has
been aocepted is casing a tremendous sen•
Ration in militia' circles here. The almost
immediate retirement of Count Kalnoky is
looked for in consequence. The Chan-
ce/let's action is generally admitted to
have been brought about by the young
Emperor's determiration to have a free
hand in the management of! State affairs
leather than to any differences of opinion
regarding any social problem.
MI-Careme Tragedies.
A Paris cable says : Mi•Careme has
brought its neual harvest of crime. Marie
Levielle, a laundress, went to a carnival and
did not return till 4 o'clock in the morning.
Her husband attacked her with a revolver,
firing three ,thots, one of which, however;
tea effect iu the breast of an innocent
woman named Picard.
AeGovernment employee, after indulging
in a Mi-Cakercie ditoler, gave his Miaress,
Marie Bebut, a beverage containing arsenio.
He then fired twioe at the woman, went
into the kitchen, sveallowed poison !himself,
and blew oft the top of his head with the
remaining shot in the revolver.
A third tragedy was that in which M.
Mayer and his wile were actors. As the
couple were returning frora a ball Mme.
Mayer assnalted lifer husband and poured
hot harnieg' oil over him. The poor man,
all over fire, rushee upstairs to the &vett-
relents of a police inspector. The wife fon
leveed him, revolver in hand, and enoceeded
itt lodgiog eis bullets in his baok. Return.
Mg to her rooms she fired five bullets into
her own breest. "
