The fire was noticed about 12 o'clock, and burned fiercely until 2 o'clock. The flames (hat shot out of every window and towered high in the air seemed to laugh) at the futile at- tempts of the laddias with their toy streams of water, and when they had exhausted thole fury the large four - storey hotel, with its shady verandahs supported with immense pillars, stood out a total wreak, with only the walls standing to mark the spot of the world-wide hostelry, that had been the ;tome during the summer of the best. families of America es well as Europe. It counted amongst its many guests member's of the royal families of Eur- ope who had visited Niagara. The ho- tel was a four -storey. large, stone, roughcast faced building of letter "L" shape, with a oburt Ln the centre that contained a regular greenhouse of cool and shady promenades. The building contained 250 rooms, which were alt very expensively furnished and only the very best of tbe travel was catered for. This morning 85 guests stere on the register, and all of thous, lrith their be - lodgings, were safely taken out of the place without a single hitch. Amongst those on the register were Mr, and Mrs. John Penman, Paris; Dr. Lame and family', New Orleans; Mayor' Taggart, Indianapolis, Ind.; Mr. James Macken- zie, Sarnia. The hotel proper was first built by 14Ir.Iiarmanius Carysler dur- ing 1836, who named it the Clifton Rouse. It afterwards got into the hands of Mr. Zimmerman, who made quite an addition to it and made the place a fashionable resort for sight- s -ere at Niagara. Its present proprietor, bit'. George Itt. Colborn, has controlled the place for thirty years past, and, had everything to do with tbe famous name the hotel has throughout the world. Mr. Colborn is absent from home in Philadelphia, hat has been ap- prised by telegraph of his loss. The hotel was owned by the late Hon. John T. Bush estate. .Loss to building, $100,- 000, partially covered by insurance; contents and furnishings, $50,000, par- tially covered by insurance, The cause of the fire is unknown as .vet. The destruction of the hotel win be a big loss to the place and will throw some 100 people out ot employment. The fireproof hotel Lafayette, which stands close to the Clifton House, stood the heat admirably. WARSHIP HITS A MINE. The lilnrblebead Escapes Dlwtrartlon Off llitantontinlll by Almost it lilrnrle.. A despatch from Playa del .'Este, Cuba, says; --Sown contact mineswere taken from the harbor ot Guantanamo on Wednesday by picked crows from the Marblehead and Dolphin. The work was done under heavy fire from the shore, Which was answered by the Marblehead and Dolphin. Three of the six contact arms of one of the mines were found to have been driven M. It is believed that this was caused by the propeller of tate Marblehead or Dolphin when they went in the other day to destroy the fort. The driving in of the arms should have ceased the mine to explode, The work of clearing the harbour of mines will be continued until all have been taken up. Then one of the light draught, vessels will go in and capture or destroy a Spanish gunboat which is in hiding close to the town. The work is as dangerous as any that men are called upon to do in time al war. TWO contact mines had already been taken from the entrance of the chan- nel loading to Caimanera, and the Texas struck a third one, which rose to the surface, and fortunately did not explode. Commander MaCalle suspec- ted that there were other mines in the harbor, and determined to take them up. He sent four boats with picked crews to do the work Lieut. Broughton commanded one beat from the Marblehead, and Ensign Walter R. Gberadi, sun of the rear -admiral, tbe other. The boats from the Dolphin were in charge of Ensigns Coole and Stirling. As soon as (he boats had started the two warships took posi- tions close 3n, and swept the shorn with their rapid -Give gnus. The four little boats stood boldly a1' the channel, paying no heed to the bullets that spattered. around them, but attending striol;ly to the Work of sweeping for the mines. They had taken up seven by nm00 and. then abandoned the task for the day. There is greet enthusiasm m Camp McCalla, which is only e. few miles east of stere, over the arrival of the troops at; Santiago.

WIGHT 13ECOI12L TRUE, Jos --jack's new wife won't speak to me, Tom—Why net 11 Jots ---I got conftteed at the wedding, and tendered hies my sympathy in- stead 01 congratalations, James A. Beli, of Beaverton, Out., brother of the Rev. John Wesley dell, S.D., prostrated by nervous headaches A victim of the trouble for several years. South American Nervine effected a complete ,cure. In their owe particular field few men are beter known than the Rev. John Wesley Bell, B.D. and his brother Mr. James A. Bell. The former wet 0c re- cognized by his thousands of friends all over the country as the popular and able misslanary superintendent of the Royal Templure of Temperance. Among the 20,000 members of this.order in Ontario his counsel is sought on all sorts of oc- casions. On the public platform he is one of the strong men of the day, battling against the evils of intemperance. Equally well knoevn.is bfr. Belbin other provinces of the Dominion, having been for years a member of the Manitoba Metbodist Conference and part of this tithe was stationed in Winnipeg. I•Iis brother, hir. James A. Bell, is a highly respected resident of Beaverton, o'nere his influence, though perhaps more cir- cumscribed than that of his eminent brother, is none the less effective and productive of good. Of recent years,lyw- ever, the working ability of Mr. James A. Bell has been sadly marred by severe attacks of nervous headache, accom- peeled by indigestion. Who can do tit work when this trouble takes hold of them and especially co p y when it be arcs chronic, as was, seemingly, the case with Mr. Bell? The trouble reaehed sun in, tensity that last June he wits complete. ly prostrated. In this coodition a friend recommended South American Nervone, Ready to try anything and everything, though he thought be had covered the list of proprietary medicines, he seaured a bottle of this great discovery. dt second bottle of the medicine was takes and the work was done. Employing Ma own language; "Two bottles of South' American Nervine immediately relieved my headaches and have buin up my system in a wonderful manner." Let us not deprecate the good our ctergyme( and 800101 reformers are doing In the world, but hots ill -fitted they would b for their work were It not the relief that South American Nervine brings to them when physical ills overtake them, and when the system, as a re. cult or hard, earnest and eoutlett0 e work, breaks down. Nerving treats the system asthe wise reformer treats the evils he is battling against. It strums at the root of the trouble. All dla. ease comes from dlg or nnizntio of the nerve centers. This is a scientific tact. Nervine et once works ea these nerve centers; gives to them health and vig- or; and then there courses through the system strong, healthy, lite-matutatninq blood, and -nervous troubles of every variety are, things of the past.
