Captain of American Barge Stabbed at Quebec. A despatch from Quebec says: .-/ A stabbing affray took place in St. Rocha on Tuesday night about 10.30, in which an American canal boat captain, B. Poshby, of the barge Bigelow, received a serious wound. The party who committed the deed is a negro, and is still at large. It seems that the two mon had a dis- pute with regard to the payment of a bet. Tho altercation became so heated that the negro whipped out a knife and plunged it into the body of the captain, inflicting a gash four or five inches in length. The ut:fortunate man was attended by Dr. Edge, who reports the injury ar dangerous, though he hardly considers it fatal. The Bigelow is in port with a cargo of coal which is being discharged hero.

The damage reported so far is es- timated at between $2.000 and *3,- 000. Tho first and sharpest shock came at 2.58 a.►n. It was almost as severe as the ono felt here on April 18, 1906. At 3.03 another slighter shock was experienced, fol- lowed by a third at 5.30 o'clock. The first shock caused practically :dial() damage.

FIRE IN THE MAYPOLE 1ffNE Seventy Miners Entombed at Wigan, England, • A despatch front Wigan, England, s. says : The worst fears have been realized in the explosion which oc- curred in the Maypole mine on '-•'Qjesdny. The entombed rniners number about seventy. and it is im- possible that any of them can have survived. Efforts at rescue, how- rver, continue unceasingly.

Ho knew what ho was doing, but it seemed to him to be the thing to do. "Now, lie down on the seat and go to sleep." Tho squire stretched out and the next thing ho knew was a guard trying to arouse hien, and it was an hour later. The man with the eyes was no longer in the compart- ment. There was the story, and it puzzled the officers. They had to take it in earnest, coming from such a source. SENSATION AT YORK. Following this robbery there was a most sensational and • daring one from some great lady whose dia- monds were taken from the messen- ger of a jeweller by "the man with the eyes." There was a sensation at Scot- land Yard, and only then did the officer who had seen the man at Liverpool catch on. Ile was ono c.' the three men detailed on the case. Ho was to watch the trains and junctions on the road whcro the last robbery occurred, and he put in two months without meeting with his man, or without hearing of another case of "eyes." Then he followed n man from a junction to a hotel, and being almost positive of his quarry, he called on the man in his room. He found him un- strapping his valise and made some inquiry to excuse his intrusion.

Children Lost Their Lives at Col- fax, Washington. i despatch from Colfax, Wash., says: Six children arc dead and two others are burned so seriously that recovery is doubtful at the H. W. Schultz ranch between Colfax and Belrouse, resulting from a fire that destroyed their home on Wednes- day night. Four of the dead were children of Schultz. The other two wera children of W. W. Fox, a brother-in-law. The men were away harvesting, and the mothers were attending a theatrical performance. The two oldest Schultz girls at- tempted to rescue the children, but lost the way to the door, and were forced to drop the babies to make their own escape. The cause of the fire is a mystery. ANOTHER CANOE VICTIM. Miss Margaret Copland, of Mont- real, Drowned. A despatch from Montreal says: Miss Maragaret Copeland, of this city, was drowned on Wednesday in Lake St. Joseph, near St. Adolphe de Howard, while out boating. She was paddling with her brother when a gust of wind upset their canoe about 30 feet from the shore. Young Coplend immediate- ly dived after his sister, and made a gallant attempt to rescue her, but when close to shore she clung so tightly to him that both went down and he lost his hold. Even then the lad dived several times, but failed to find his sister, and finally became exhausted, and when he reached the shore was picked up unconscious. Miss Coplarnd's body was later recovered. She was a teacher in Prince Albert School. BEYOND CONTROL. Forest Fires Continue to Do Great Damage in British Columbia. A despatch from Cranbrook, R. C., says a bush fire near Kimberley is beyond control, and is running north towards Skookunchuck Creek. Sullivan and Kimberley aro safe. There is a bail forest Piro one mile east of Moyie. Another fire is burning at Ryan. No rain for over t nwnth has made everything so dry that fire -fighting is very diffi- cult. "DEAD" WOMAN REVIVED. Resuscitated Atter Iter Life Had Apparently Fled. A despatch from New Britain, Conn., says : After having been pro- nounced dead by the medical ex- anli.ner as a result, of carbolic acid poisoning on Tuesday night, and permission for the removal of her body given, Mrs. Eva \Vashkiowis- ke of this city was later revived by another physician and is now ex- pected to recover. Mrs. \Vashkie- wiski, who is 48 years old, drank a large quantity of the acid, and thea summoned her friends and board- ers in the house, saying that she wished to say good-bye to them, as she was going on a long journey. She then lay down on a couch and soon became unconscious. The po- lice were notified, and taking with then Medical Examiner T. O. Wright went to the house. Dr. Wright, it is alleged, pronounced the woman dead and gave permis- sion for the removal of the body. Soon after his departure, it is said, another physician revived and re- stored her to consciousness. 4r TWO MEN MET DEATH. Fell en Their heads and Never Re- gained Consciousness. A despatch from Renfrew, Ont., says: While engaged in oading telephone poles on a flat car at Caldwell's station, on Thursday, Jos. Sutherland, of that place, mot death almost instantly by falling backward off the top of the car and striking on the back of his head. Ile died in about an hour after the fall, before medical attendance could arrive. Ho was 45 years of age, and unmarried. Chas. McChean, a prominent far- mer of Bromley, and a member of the Township Council, died on Wed- nesday from injuries received by a fatal fall. Ho was working in his barn and was standing in the mow when he was struck by the hayfork, knocking him from where he was standing, and falling on the barn floor on his head. He was about 80 years of age, and leaves a family of young children. His wife died about two months ago. PRELIMINARIES. Tho farmer had the toothache, and to save a trip to town and a dentist's fee he asked his man Jake to pull out the aching tooth. Jake led hitn to the barn, seated him on a bench, and took from the harness - room a pair of very large, rusty pincers. "Hero goes," he said, and brac- ing himself, extracted a huge tooth. The farmer clapped his hand to his jaw and pointed reproachfully to the large, white tooth in the pin- cers. "Why, Jake," he moaned, "that's the wrong one." `•1 know," said Jake, bracing himself again ; "but now I can got at the other handier."
