City had another baptism of fire on Thurs-

The fire originated in the Osgoodby

ing sheet. Within two hours seven im•
menee buildings were a shapeless mass of
indistinguishable smoking ruins.
These buildings were destroyed :
Osgoodby Building, Melinda street, in
which 15 firms bad offices.
Brereton &. Manning, wholesale furs, 24-
20 Wellington street.
Thomas Dunnett & Co., wholesale furs,
30 Wellington street.

R. H. Gray & Co., whitewear, 24.26
Wellington street.
Hart & Riddell, wholesale stationers, 27
Wellington street.
Tho path of the two great conflagrations
form a letter L in immense proportions.
Sunday morning the fire fiend did half the
work and carved out the first stroke along
Melinda street. Last night he completed
his work in a line straight south at right
angles to his former pathway.
The firs acquired a vehemence and vio-
lence most appalling. The various build-
ings were simultaneously aglow with the
fire inside that seemed to craokle and roar
with a triumphant eouud as everything
was devoured ; the windows and archways
belching forthtongues of red and white
flame that reanhed across the street. The
thoueauds of citizens who had collected
blocks away could hoar the oraokliog of
the flames, followed by the crashing of a
roof. Then would shoot op frotn the
wrebk a column of flame through the black
smoke andcinders, that. lit up the city for
bloolce and threw a ghostly light on the
facades of the neighboring struoturee..
With every blast of wind great billows
of fire would roll across-. Wellington street,
as if filled with a mad desire to sweep it
away in ruin. Then for a moment they
would subside and show the various struc-
tures wreathed in flames and tongues of fire
shooting out from doors and windows and
roofs.
The atmosphere was filled with cinders,
brands, combustibles, all on fire, careering
through the air. Would the wind lull and
the rain, which had began to fall increase
in volume and assist in saving the entire
wholesale section of the city. These
thoughts flashed through the brains or
quivered on the lips oi the thouands who
waited in painful suspense. The snow,
which had fallen during the day afforded a
protection against the blazing fragrants
whioh were falling thickly around,
and eventually the flames were got under
control, but not until over three-quarters of
a million dollars of damage had been occa-
sioned.

A curious instance of sagacity on the part

that in a week or two it was able to join
its friends, but not, however, until the
policeman had tied about its leg a piece of
red ribbon, so that he might identify the

few days ago a gentleman, Who had also

before daylight detaolonients'fromyll the

troops formed a square facing the main
eutranoo to the parade ground,. where was
stationed a bond composed of drums and
bugles. The 39th regiment had Captain.

lery soldiers. Ho was pale, but with a
firm step Ile marc hed, with his sword in
his right hand, to the centre of the agnare,
where he wog awaited by Gen. Darras. He
halted before thej General and stood at
"attention." The;Adjntant of the Re.
publican Guard then pronounced the vers
diot of court•martial which had condemned
Captain Dreyfus.
700 ARE UNWORTHY TO CARRY ARMS.
While the verdict was being road Capt.
Dreyfus flushed somewhat, but otherwise
showed no sign of losing his composure.
After the reading of the verdict General
Darras addressed the prisoner, Baying :
"Dreyfus, yew ae unworthy to carry arms.
In the name oil the people of France, we
degrade you."
The Adjutant then walked up to Drey-
fus and took from him his sword. which
with a quick, sharp movement he broke
across his knee, casting the pieces upon
the ground. He then cut the buttons and
insignia of rank from the uniform of the
oondemned captain, and throw them also
upon the ground. At this point of the pro-
ceedings Captain Dreyfus was fora moment
moved by a senseof his humiliation, but he
quickly suppressed his emotion, and shout-
ed in a loud voieo : " Vivo La France I"
Continuing he said : " You have degraded
an innocent man. I swear I am innocent."
He seemed about to speak further but
his voice was drowned by the rolling of the
drums, which was not loud enough, how-
ever, to down a ringing shout from the
crowd in the rear of the soldierat(pf ," A
mort le traitte I"
I AM INNOOENT.
The ceremony up to this time had
lasted only four minutes. The drums
then beat and the degraded ms.n began
his march along the four sides of the
square, in what is known as "Le Parade
de Execution." The scene was very
impressive and many of the younger
soldiers turned their heads away. Caption
Dreyfus' march was firm and soldierly,
with a quick ,short pane, and when he
reached the delegation of officers from the
reserves, raised his hand and said:
'Tell the whole of France that I am
innocent,"
Turning to the left from the position of
the reserve officers he came before the
memnere of the press, to whom he said
in a firm voice: "I declare that I am
innocent."
The end of the march was reached at
9.30, after whiioh the condemned man was
turned over to the civil authorities. A
large crowd had gathered at the eotranle
to the parade ground, and from them came
not one word of sympathy, but the cry of
"A mort le traitrel" was taken up by
them and repeated until the miserable
man was out of the hearing of his
tormentors.
"DOWN Nairn 701E tuns."
It is stated that when Capt. Dreyfus
spoke to the officers of the reserve, pro-
testing him innocence, the latter retorted,
"Down with iheJudas," "Silence, traitor,"
oto. Dreyfus became greatly excited at
this, and turned again appealingly to the
officers, but the soldiers escorting hien
quickly seized him and forced him to con-
tinue his march.
Before the ceremony of degradation be-
gan the vast spaoe in the Place do Fonte-
not' facing the court -yard of the Eool,
Mllitaire was crowded with men and wo-
men. Many persons climbed the lime of
the hexagonal granite monument. erected
to the memory of the Parisians who were
killed in 1870, and othere hired dollar
places upon stepladders and maintained
their positions throughout iu the biting
wind.
Captain Dreyfus, upon recoiling the
prison depot, said to the governor of the
institution :
" My innocence will the recognized some
day. I have confidence that Providence iu
to two time will reveal the roal culprit."

also induced my wife to use it. who,

" Rjov. W. S. Baiura1:."
It is now a scientific fact that cer-
tain nerve centres located, rear the
base of the brain have entire control
over the stomach, liver, heart, lungs
and indeed all internal organs, that
they furnish these organa with
the necessary nerve forte to enable
then% to perform their respective
work. When the nerve centres aro
weakened or deranged the nerve
force is diminished, and as a result
the stomach will not digest the food.
the liver becomes torpid, the kidneys
will not act properly, the heart and
lungs suffer, and in fact the whole
system becomes weakened and sinks 1
on account of the lack of nerve force.;
South American Nervine is based,
on the foregoing scientific discovery
and is so prepared that it acts
directly on the nerve centres. It
immediately increases the nervous
energy of the whole system, thereby
enabling the different organs of the
body to perform their work perfectly,
when disease at once disappears.
It greatly benefits in one day.
