teen Buildings on Main Street Wiped
„ dint. ----toss $40,000 to $50,000.
espatch from South Porcupine
ays : On Wednesday night between
he hours of 12 and 2 sixteen build-
mgs were destroyed on the south
aide of Main street, Golden. City,
involving .a loss'of between $40,000
and $50,000. The fire broke: out
+shortly °after 12 in Romain's sae
i' loon, a little girl first noticing the
)blaze. , There was a fresh breeze
rblowing and in a, few minutes the
fire had -such a hold that the bucket
?brigade formed to convey water
from the lake was quite powerless.
While some- of tl "business houses
had insurance, it was in unauthor-
szed companies, many licensed com-
panies having but a short time be-
fore cancelled their policies. The
- temperature was below .zero, and
many of .the fire-fighters had their
ears tend .noses frost-bitten. The
Finay people homeless. are
1 being oaken care of.
Carter & Wright's drug store has
been burned .,sown now three times
in one year, once in Gowganda in
January-, 'agaain in. Pottsville last.
July, and now in Golden City win
December.. They- were, 'however~,
insured, It is most probable that
the fire would have spread • much
farther if severalhouses' had not
been .dynamited. This undoubted-
ly saved the Mulligan `rouse and
the 'Lyric Theatre. The list of
buildings destroyed are as fol-
lows :-King George Restaurant,
Chas. Chow, proprietor ; A, Loch,
fruit and candy shire; Carter ax
Wright, . druggists; Mullin's pool-
room; branche of Liberty stores;
C. Evans, men's furnishing store;
Lang's supply store; W. Bolton's

A dyspepsia veteran who writes
from one of England's charming

TOO DITCH FLAG.
M. P. Would Stop Its Use for Ad-.
'tertising Purposes.
A despatch from • Ottawa says
George H. Bradbury, M.P., for
Sell;ark, thinks there is too free use
of , the Union Jack. It is frequent-
ly utilized in connection with ad-
vertitesuents for cigarettes, patent
medicines and all kinds of things,
and Mr. Bradbury thinks it amounts
to an abuse. • He is considering the
introduction of .a bill to prevent
the flag being reproduced for ad-
vertising purposes. There is a
similar enactment in the United
States against the desecration ` of

Thirty-six Died as Itesultiof Eating
Decayed Herring. •
A :despatch from Berlin, Ger-
any, says : 'Thirty -sit. homelessen, who sought with decayed -
poked herring to add to the flatterd the frugal meal of bread and
.�up served to them at the rnuni-
d°pal lodging house on Tuesday
night, are dead. blots than 40
olthers area sick, several of whom
nee believed to be dying, The
cause of death has not, yet been
announced, but the authorities
are confident that the putrid fish
are responsible. The •'partiallycompleted autopsies°appearto sub-
stantiate this view., All these
known tohave partaken of the fish
are dead or in such condition as
to be unable to throw any light
on the subject. It is believed, how-
ever, that one of the victims found
the fish in the garbage pile of. a
nearby market and divided them'
among_ his comrades. The mon be-
came sick early in the, morning, and
n .st,n10 cases death followed rap-
idly, in from two to three hours.

LOCKOUT IN BRITISH B1ILllS
Action: of Employers Affects 300,000 Work-
ere of }Lancashire.
A despatch from Manes ester,
Eng., says : The refusal of one man
and two women to join a trades
'union, coupled with the decision, of.
the Master Cotton Spinners to close
tl}air malls three days in the week,
caused a complete stoppage of a
great portion of'tho'eotton mills in
northeast Lancashire ozi Wednes-
day evening. Efforts are already
on foot to bring about .a settlement,
but as one woman, who left the
1`iiiion after twenty years 'because
she believes that the .benefits are
not commensurate with the < pay-
ments, persists in her attitude, and
the Master Spinners insist upon
their right to maintain epee shops,
long and.

There is danger;, too, of the fight,

The lockout involves 180,000 -wean-
ors, and .nearly an equal number
of spinners will be reduced to half
pay. Unfortunately there, are indi-
cations already of probable compli-
-cations through the introduction of
a new issue 'cif' the troublesome
question sof wages, This move has
been taken. by • the 'weavers, who
now • :declare that as the lockout
has been decided upon they intend
