E. dolma, a nepnew of Lord Lurgan mid now o or of'exteuen e fruit oronard at Delamere, whose esperieece is almost e parallel to that of &mescal and Polley. In couver-atioa wine a corresponceat to day Mr. Johns said; • " Yee, I arn one of the vietims of the sharere who lure young Eueliehmen to Cancolo, where thee are plucked of all they 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 for mnney to do the same. I walked to Niagara Fellsand got from there to New York on a freight train.

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 bangs 1" Most of the mob dispereed, but Ole Sletto and Charles Deamore went into the house to comfort the widow.

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 of bis letters. His addrees is unknown. The ph sician is enderarrest, and the body was sent home by express this even. ing. 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.

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. LA.ND HIINORT. 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 at a Distance. 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 tribute payment to tbe Porte. A stampede is expected in consequence of this news at the opening of the Bourse tomoorrow. A Witnesa Spirited Away.

The fire at this hour had been driven to 14 corner between she ceiling of the fourth story aud the cornice, Parts of the fire companies were on the roof, working their way down to the fire. TIM manna. 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 Fatal Landslide Accident. A Cumberland, btd., despatch of last night says: A huge rock rolled dOwn the mountains to -day end fell npon the tii,lerit Virginia Central Ballwin] track in a cut between Chaffee and Blaine, forty miles West of here, A workmen'e train with twelve men went to the spot to clear the track.

The nomediete ostensible ones of. the resignetiou is a divergence of Opintent be. tweeo the Chencellor and the Emperor ooncerreing factory immeotore. It ie reported' the Emperor has refused to accept Count Uurhert Bieranrok's resignation. General Von Caprivi is mentioned as the stemma of the Chancellor. Another repot aye : Something must have <warred in connection with, the Labor Ocenfeeence to ause Prince Ilienaarck's un- expeoted action. The Duke of Saxe•CObourg Gotha, who arrived yesterday, appears to have 1 aeled MIAs aetempt to mediate betweeri the Eameror and the Chancellor. 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.
