Their death was not the work of the flames, but of violent hands. It was a sight to chill one's blood. The murderer's knife had done its work, but who the murderer was is not at present known.

Mr. Cloutier believed at first that the mother and children had es- caped, but the sight of the four little _ bodies in the blazing barn showed him a that there was no hope. Eveey at- tempt was made to rescue the remains, but although in plain view, and bathed in blood, it was impossible. As yet there had been no sign of Mrs. Cloutier, but she suddenly ap- peared from a small outbuilding which • had been spared, and, going up to her husband, told him that she had killed the children and set fire to the house. The unfortunate woman was evident- ly insane, and it is feared that the hus- band will also lose his reason. The tragedy has created the greatest ex- citement Over the whole countryside.

A despatoli from, Winnipeg, says,: Sixty-two thousand dollar's Lave disap- peared from the treasury of the Mai- sons Bank branch of this eity. Two men slept in the bank at night, five lock conibinations had to be knowo and a key possessed in order to obtain the money. No one man enaployed by the bank knew more than one combina.tion yet the entrance was obtabsed and the money taken. Who was the robber or robbers? That, is the question which everyone in the city is asking, and that is the question whiels Chief McRae vvoulcl like to be able to answer. The prablera lea hard, one, and its so- lution will require -Some SKII,VITE, DETECTIVE WORK. Every member of the bank staff has declared his innocence; all 'appear to be bewildered at the occurrence, and all feel that, until the matter is clear- ed up, they will be under a cloud of suspicion, for on the face of things it w,ould se-ein that the money was tak- en by some one employed in the bank, or by BOMA OAS WhO was collusion with an employe who knew the corn- binations of the vault and treasury. 'From the information that has so far been ferthcoroing the police authori- ties can take no other view of the case.. Both the police and bank officials were extremely reticent in making statements to the 'reporters on Wed- nesday, but a correspondent has learn- ed the following facts: The money, 8370,000 in ordinary bank notes and 825,000 in olearing-house cer- tificates, MBA in the treasury on Wed- nesday, the 28th of September, the last time the treasury was opened. prior t' othe discovery of the theft on Tues- day afternoon, Oot. 4th, at 4.30 o'clock.

The lock combinations of the vault and the vault itself presented no signs of having in any way been violently tampered with in order to gain an entrance to the treasury, and. it was realized that some person or persons who knew the corabinations had coramitted the rob- bery. The chief of police wa.s notified im- mediately and all the facts and cir- cumstances known laid before him. Ev- ery member of the staff was question- ed, but _each in turn stoutly denied that he had any knowledge of the rob- bery or that he had. in any way be- trayed the confidences of his position that would enable outsiders to gain access to the vault and treasury, AFTER THE SIRDAR'S HONOURS. Major Macdonald Asserted" to Re the True Victor-Gcrman Attache Criticises the Conduct or Operations. A despatch to the London Daily Tele- graph from Cairo says that sickness and death are increasing among the troops who have returned from' the Soudan. The Daily Telegraph's correspondent says he hears that Major Von Tiede- mann, the German attache ;who ac- companied. the expedition, severely 'animadverts in his report to his Gov- ernment upon the conduet of the operations. He deseribes the tactics as bad, and says that the charge of the Twenty-first Lancers on the der- vishes was folly. A desperate effort is being made here to rob Gen. Kitcheuer of much of the credit for the victory of Omdurman. The St. James' Gazette publishes an oatspoken leader asserting that the true victor was Major Macdonald, who repulsed the second onslaught of the dervishes, which was made when the Sirdar considered the battle over and the victory won. However, in the eyes of competent authorities, as well as of the people at large, Kitchener was the true hero of the; day. It was his work of years, Ms genius for organization, that ren- dered victory possible. In connection with this subject it may he remarked that already public protests have been made against the want of taste dis- played by the nephew of "Chinese" Gordon in bringing home the IVfahcli's head as a ghastly trophy. It is, how- ever, considered that blame more es- pecially attaches to those other offi- cers who secured fingers and other ragments of the Mahdi's embalmed orpse as relics, RUFFIANS IN OLD LONDON.

The steamships sailing from Montreal are being fitted up with special ventila- tion devices designed under Prof. Ro- bertson's direction, with a view to the transportation of Canadian apples in prime condition. The device consists of a ventilator from the main deck, which carries pure dry air into the convert - Ment, from which the vitiated air is carried off by means of an electric_fen.

Scotch section Nan Loses Ills Life In Say- ing °thew. A despatch from Edinburgh brings news of wonderful heroism on the part of a workman, who gave his life to save a passenger train on the Wick and Inverness line Tuesday afternoon, A road gang was repairing a part of the railway near Altnabreac, when a train was heard approaching-. A huge tool box lay across the rails, and the gang of eight struggled to remove it. As the train drew near all but one of them ceased their efforts and fled, panic- stricken. The hero, Sohn Morrison, LL giant in strength, remained labor- ing with superhuman effort, and fin- ally shoved the box from the track. Before he could straighten up the loco-, motive struek him, and he was ground to pieces. The embankment at this point is very steep, and had the train struck the box, death would have re- sulted for scores of passengers.

In every possible way this resolve i shown, and nothing is neglected whic . by any tactful raeans can promote th cause of peace.

So very simply an announce- ment appeared this week that the Florentine journey would not take place; indeed, that a hotel at Cimiez had already been hired in advance for next spring.

A. despatch from London says :--The extraordinarily lax treatment of the Anarchist assassin of the Empress of Austria, Luccheni, in the prison of St. Antoine, Geneva, Switzerland, is caus- ing much remark. He is allowed wine, cigars, letters, and newspapers, spends money and gives newspaper interviews. In fact, he is treated like the lion of the prison. The assassin's trial has been fixed for the first week in Novem- ber. He will be condemned to soli- tary confinement for life. Only one man has hitherto undergone this pun- ishment, which has more terrors than capital punishment. The prisoner is confined in an underground cell, into which no sunshine ever penetrates. He is not allowed a bed, rciust sleep on the ground, and is only permitted to take exercise once a week in the prison yard. SHARP SWORDS AND BULLETS.
