THE SEEEEHEHS-41EE1 WAxTED• A last (Friday) night's Grayenhurst %despatch says : The fire which swept over this town this morning is a crushing blew, and will occasion much suffering, as the weather is now turning cold. Already there is Innen distress, as forty-three families are left immeless. Mr. G. F. Marta; M. P. I. for this riding, left to -day for Toronto to lay the case before the Pro- vincial Government and apply for assist- ance ism the sufferers, The Are, which commenced about a quarter after 1 o'clock, broke put in Mowry & Sons' foundry. A strong wind was blowing from the north at the time, which carried the flames rapidly down Main street, and in a very short time nearly the whole business por- Ceti was burned down. The high wind and the inflammable nature of the build. ings, all except Mr. Marter's and Sharp's cottage being of wood, combined to make the town an easy prey. Sparks and burn- ing wood were carried onward by the wind and caused the fire to burn in many places at the same time. The part which the wind played in the disaster may be under- stood from the fact that the residence and barn of Mr. ,Jarnes Hewitt, wgich were burned with their contents, were three-quarters of a mile "distant from the village. Fifty places of business were deetroyed, only one, that of Mrs. Wiley, grocer, being left standing. In all, eighty-three buildings were burned, including the large new public school and the English church. When the fire started the steam -fire engine was set to work, but jrist as it commenced to play it broke down, and not until the fire was nearly over was it ready for service again. The town being thus without protection a despatch was sent to Griffis. asking for assistance, but the Mayor refused to send an engine because, he said, it was needed at home. Bracebridge, however, rendered some assistance, and help also came from Barrie, but too late to be of any service. Very few goods were saved. All was over at 4 o'clock. The loss is estimated at $200,000, with but small insurance. There were only four out of the way places which could be secured for business purposes. These were promptly taken possession of by Mr. Marter, Mr. J. P. Young, Mr. G. H. King and Mr. Moody, the last named going into an old store which he hadonlyrecently left to occupy a new building. .

Ce.r1 Schurz at Pittsburg, Pa., VIVO= IR,ELAND The Freeman's dournal pays the localities in Ireland proclaimed yesterday by the Government are those in which the most sweeping eviotions have talon 1)laoe, and argues that these localities have been seletited because thelendlords are losing the fight. Mr. Kilbride, who accompanied William O'Brien to Canada on his tour against Lord Lansdewne, wee elected without op- position to represent South Kerry in the House of Commons. The members of the Leegue in proclaimed localities are uniting for common aption. They will hold a number of meetings on Sunday in defiance of the law. At a meeting of Kilkee carmen to -day it was resolved to defy the League's orders not to drive the police, The carmen after- wards drove the police to and from the Moveen evictions. Mr, Harrington complained that a Dub- lin paper had declared that the police would be justified in making him ac- quainted with the peculiarities of a horse. pond. The language, he said, was an incitement to the police to commit violence, and the court should not permit such lan- guage to be used with impunity. Mr. Mur- phy, while not justifying the conrse of the paper, considered that Mr. Harrington, by calling Sergeant Ryder a murderer and villain, provoked comment. Such lan- guage had never been uttered without meeting reproof in any court in the civil- ized world. Mr. Harrington retorted that he should continue to use the same language. The coroner deprecated the retort. Witnesses were called who defended Mr. Harrington's attitude. Sergeant Ryder was then recalled. In the course of his testimony he said: "Mr. Harrington called nee a murderer, scoun- drel and ruffian, and said he would nie off my chair.” Mr. Harrington—I call you a liar in addition to scoundrel when you make such a statement, and I will all you murderer again before I have done with you, and I will get for you the punishment of a mur- derer. Mr. Balfour is receiving numerous menac- ing letters, which threaten him with per- sonal injury, and many communications which purport to reveal the existence of plots against his life. Other members of the Government have been the recipients of similar missives in less number. The police are taking every precaution to defend the executive and officials. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. Smash-up 011 the Intereolonial-An Engi- neer Killed and Three Men Injured. A Quebec despatch says: The following particulars have just been received of a collision on the Intercolonial Railway yes- terday between St. Moise station and Little Metis : The accommodation train whieh left River du Loup at 7 o'clock yes- terday morning had orders to cross Lebert's freight special at Little 1VIetis. The cross- ing orders were overlooked by both driver and conductor, and when three miles east of Little Metis the accommodation train came into collision with the freight special. Neither of the drivers saw one another until they were but a few feet apart, owing to the curve in the road at this point and the fact that large snow sheds have been erected. The result was that Engineer L. Duncan was instantly killed. Engineer Gorham, of the accommodation, jumped through the window of his cab and broke a leg. The firemen of both trains are severely injured. Both engines and cars are badly smashed. Tbe loss will amount to several thousands of dollars. The road is entirely blocked and cannot be cleared before Friday night. It is said that theentire blame is attached to the driver and conductor of the accom- modation train. There were but few pas- sengers on board the latter, and beyond a severe shaking up none of them were badly injured. The trams were travelling at a speed of about thirty Miles an hour. Engi- neer Duncan was unmarried. A New Illuminator. A Paris cable says: In the published illustrations of the recent mobilization experiments in Prance, the newly invented Lucigen light, of which a great deal has been said and written lately, takes a very prominent place. General Boulanger was one of the first to appreciate the import- ance of Plitnnay's discovery fornight-work; and the trial of the light made last week at the Crystal Palace afforded ample evidence both of the general's sagacity and of Han - nay's ingenuity. The smallest print could be read easily ata distance of two hundred yatids from the flame, which is produced by the action of compressed air on a film of waste oil. All other rival lights were very ignominiously eclipsed by its superior brilliancy. The Forth Bridge works are being carried on at night with the aid of Lucigen. It has been adopted by Sir Joseph Whitworth and many other great contractors, and for purely outdoor pur- poses it seem e to have no rival among the existing competing illuminants.

A New,York despatch Biqa : The French steamer Alesia, Cat. Valliat, of the Fare Line, which arrived at quarantine on Tlaursday night from Marseilles and Naples, brings three Cabin and 561 eteerage passengers. On her arrival at quarantine four eases of Asiatic cholera were found among the passengers in the steerage. Eight persons died during the voyage to tnis port, On Sept. 12th Luigi Maria, a steerage passenger, aged 28 years', was taken siek and died on the 15th. Paul Antonio Balkyoria, another steerage passenger, aged 38, was taken sick and died on the same date. Jean Lenivolni, a pallor, aged 40, died the following day, in less than twenty-four hours from the time lie was taken down with the disease. On the 17th Jean Somme, a sailor, aged 30, was taken sick. He died on the 19th. Setafin de Lis, a steerage passenger, died on the 20th. Anna Nellridge, a steerage "passenger, aged 47, died on the 21st. Francisco Mattee, aged 41, was token sick before coming on board and died on the 22nd, prebably of bronchitis. Maria Antonio Sela Veno, aged 59, was also ailing at the time of coming on board and died on the 22nd, though without the symptoms of cholera. All of the above were buried at sea. The Alesia is now in the lower bay. Her sick passengers will be transferred to the Swinburne Island hospital. All the re- maining passengers will be transferred to Hoffman Island for observation. The ship will remain in the lower bay until she has been thoroughly fumigated and cleaned. The passengers of the Alesia will be kept in quarantine at least eight days. Dr. Smith, the health officer, made a careful examination of all the passengers and found four who had escaped notice of the ship's surgeon also sick with the disease. Three of these four will probably die before morning, while the four reported by the ship's doctor will probably recover. The eight sick persons, two women and six men, were transferred to the Quarantine Hospital at Swinburne Island. Thebalance of the passengers was landed at Hoffman Island. They will be held there until all danger of infection has passed. c • _ Gladstone Rebukes a "Unionist"—Evidence at O'Brien's Trial. A London cable says: Mr. Gladstone has written in regard to the assertion of Robert Bannatyne Findlay (Liberal Unionist) that he (Gladstone) had apologised for boycot- ting, and that he was under Parnellite subjection. Gladstone says: "1 am a little surprised at the inaccuracy of Mr. Findlay's statements, but much must be allowed for a disappointed section with a failing cause." Lord Randolph Churchill, speaking at Whitby to -day, said: "The present Parlia- ment is fairly democratic and is therefore strong. If it were otherwise it would be unable to grapple firmly with the National League. The obstruction encountered dur- ing the session was due to Mr. Gladstone acting as leader of the Parnellites." A Cork cable says: When the case of O'Brien was opened several policemen were called as witnesses for the Government. They testified from memory as to O'Brien's language, which they asserted tended to incite his listeners to violence. During the hearing of this evidence a procession, armed with sticks and headed by a waggon carry- ing a band, marched into town from the country. The Hussars stopped the waggon, but allowed the other part of the procession to proceed. The procession took up a peti- tion close to the court -room, but order was observed. Constable Foley admitted that the notes he made of what Mr. O'Brien said in his speech were made the next morning and from memory. The head constable told him to write the report. He was not asked to produce the notes for many days after.. He could not swear that O'Brien spoke in the order in which the words appeared in the notes. nun( AFFAIRS. BLAZING OIL FIELDS. An Explosion Which Causes is Great Sensation. A Toledo, 0., despatch says : There is great excitement among oil and gas opera- tors in this city over the reports of an im- mense oil conflagration in the Wood county oil fields. The fire was caused by an ex- plosion in the Parker Well No. 1, the greatest oil well in the world, it well that has been uncontrollable for days andwhich flows 10,000 barrels every twenty-four hours. The oil caught fire from the engine and rapidly spread to the other derricks and tanks. In the oil fields are large pools of petroleum and the creeks and rivers are full of oil. This only adds fuel to the flames. The scene is described by an eye- witness as most thrilling and magnificent. At the time of the explosion, without warn- ing, a column of blue flame and smoke shot up into the air at least 1,000 feet and ex- tended over acres of ground. The heat was so intense that it was impossible to ap. preach nearer than half a mile. It could be plainly felttwo miles away and the sight of the burning well is visible in Toledb, thirty miles distant. The damage will run up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. One of the drillers, Geo. Johnson, was caught in a whirlwind of smoke, oil and flame, and was so badly burned that no hopes are entet- tallied of his recovery. Other drillers are missing and it is feared they have perished in the flames. Some Dangerous Jumping. A Syracuse N.Y telegram says • Prof Baldwin, of parachute fame, went up in a balloon from the Onondaga county fair grounds here this afternoon in the preemies, of 30,000 people, and when at an altitude Of a ntile jumped from the air ship, and seven minutes later landed safely about three mile it from the starting point.

The triple alliance is now openly dead, and the Kaluoky and Bismarck meeting enl- phasizes its demise. The two Chancellors have substituted Italy for Ruseia, and British military officers who know the per- fection of the Italian army regard Italy as no mean ally. But Russia is now playing a hand entirely her own. The Czar, who manages his own foreign policy, evidently wants to keep free from all entangling alli- ances. The contempt poured upon the French Republic .by the Russian press, notably by the -Moscow Gazette, since M. Hatkoff's death, and the Czar's well-known dislike of the men who now rule France, indicate no present arrangement with the Paris Government; but every day rnakes clearer that when what Prince Bismarck calls the " inevitable " war between France and Germany breaks out, the Germans will have to count upon Russia as a passive if not as an active foe.- Private letters from Berlin declare the existence of almost feverish anxiety in high places to be ready to strike, sharp and strong, against any future combination of Russia and France, and to secure Italy as an ally for the defence of Austrian territory against Rus- sian aggression. It is the belief of the British Foreign Office that Italy is already committed to that responsibility, but this is not generally accepted. The Cologne Gazette professes to describe German feel- ing without friendship and without enmity. France is naturally delighted that the Czar refrains from meeting his Imperial rela- tives. FOURTEEN DOLLARS FOR A HISS. It Came High 'and Mr. Bross Did Not Want It. A New 'York report says: James Bross, a sturdy, although aged, citizen of New London, carne to this city to see the sights last Sunday. While wandering along Cherry street late that evening he noticed a crowd of blithesome girls laughing and chatting on a corner. While he was passing the merry group he was most astonished by suddenly finding a pair of arms about his neck. At the same time a eilvery voice exclaimed: "Oh, you de r, old rling, give me a kiss." Mr. Bross had never been greeted in that way in New London. "Go 'way, go 'way, you bold girl," cried he. "Fou ought to be ashamed of your- self." "Oh, beg pardon," said the girl who had stolen a kiss from the aged New Londoner. "1 mistook you for my father." Mr. 13ross passed on, laughing over the oke until he stepped into a store to buy a cigar, when he was astounded to find that 014, which he had in his vest pocket, was gone. He found a policeman, who arrested Annie Clark, eblack-eyed maiden, whom Bross identified as the girl who had kissed him. Justice Kilbreth, in the Tombs Police Court, held Annie in $1,000 for tri I WITH BARBARA FRIETCHIE'S SPIRIT, Mrs. Hulbert, 90 Years Old,Vears Down a Rebel Flag. A Detroit despatch says: D troit as a venerable and worthy patriot, with the Barbara Frietchie spirit, in the person of Mrs. Hulbert, of Third avenue, who is nearly 90 years old. Mrs. Hulbert sent four sons to the war, all of whom acquitted themselves with credit, and one laid down his life on the field of battle. The mother is imbued with strong loyalty to the flag. During the naeeting of the Army of the Tennessee in Detroit last week a handsome American flag floated from the roof of the Hulbert residence; but one of the grand- children, in a spirit of mischief, tacked a captured lebel signal flag to the staff above the Stars and Stripes. Mrs. Hulbert saw it, and was indignant. She kept her own counsel, however, and when an opportunity presented she went to the attic and climbed by a rickety ladder to the roof, and thence reached the rebel signal by means of steps, and tore it from the staff. She has hidden the flag, and, in reply to all inquiries, says: "You will find that flag when I'm dead— not till tben." Mrs. Hulbert is a sister of the late Henry Schoolcraft, the Indian historian. No Money M Wheat. A London cable says: Lord Randolph Churchill, addressing a meeting of farmers at York, said the present low prices in wheat were ruinous to the farmer. As a politician helad not a grain of comfort to offer them. The British farmer growing wheat, he said, did not seem to know when he was beaten. Lord Churchill said., he foresaw nothing that was likely to cause a rise in the price of wheat sufficient to cause a profit to the grower. The foreign imports were illimitable, not from America only, but from other sources. The farmers of England should realize thoroughly that India is a tremendous granary, and will continue to pour into the English market increasing quantities of wheat. PEWS radi- cal change in the conditions of farming should prepare all persons interested in agricultute to adapt themselves to changes. Mutilated While Coupling Cars. A Barrie despatch says : Harvey Sizer, a young man in the employment of the Northern le Northwestern Railway as head brakeman in the Barrie and Allendale yards, Well knocked doyen and run over while coupling cars at Barrie yesterday morning.

The London correspondent pf the gkue oablea Some journals, commenting on tlle reported intention of the Qeeen to visit Canada, nrge that a royal visit to the Dominion wonld be of great benefit to the Throne and the Empire. A,visit to Canada, however, would necessitate visits to the other colonies, and this would be impossible for the Qeeen. It is suggested, however, that the Prince of Wales might, with great advantage to the State, endeavor to find an. opportunity te visit Canada and the other colonies. I arn personally aware that the Prince has:long ago taken a- keen interest in -the progress of the Dominion. He has, at his own request, been supplied with the best available maps of the Dominion, photos of Canadian scenery and other printed information, and, did State ex- igencies permit, would gladly nndertake an interoolonial tour. Doubt, however, ia expressed whether it would be poseible for him to do so. The Canadian Northwest. The injunction against the R. R. V. R. filed by the Dominion Government CQMES up in the courts to -morrow, but will pro- bably be enlarged for a week. The Hudson Bay Railway will extend. their line five miles to St. Laurent settle-, ment, and a weekly trein will be run to that point. It is thought quite a large business can be done in carrying wood to the city. The first shipment of rails arrived here yesterday and went through to Morris. The real hitch has arisen through the Provincei not being able to put up the amount a freight due the C. P. R. on the rails. There is a large amount due for freight, and until that is paid the rails will not be released by the C. P. 11. The first shipment of cattle ever made from the Western ranches to the Eastern Canadian market will pass through the city in a few days, as it is being loaded at cal- gary now. The shipment consists of forty- five cars, embracing about 900 head. They will be shipped to Montreal and from that port re -shipped to Liverpool. J. H. Sproule, contractor, and a staff of surveyors went to Brandon to -day to begin the construction of the Northwest Central. He stated that he was going to put a large force of men to work immedi- ately to work on the first fifty miles of the Central, beginning at Brandon, and the work will be prosecuted vigorously, with a view to finishing that distance this fall. The surveyors commenced work at Bran.. don this morning on the Northwest Cen- tral Railway, and say that fifty miles will be in operation by Christmas. People are still dubious, and appear to think the newe too good to be true, that work is at last to be proceeded with. The Port Arthur, Duluth & Western road, upon which work has just been started, was formerly known as "The Thunder Bay Colonization road." The route is from Port Arthur southwesterly through the townships of McIntyre and Oliver, crossing the Canadian Pacifioabout two miles east of Murillo, thence to the Kaministiquia River, crossing that near the junction of the Whitefish, following the valley of that stream and by way of Beaver, Rabbit, Porcupine and Silver Mountain mines .to the north of Whitefish Lake, thence north of the Arrow Lake chain to the international boundary at Gunflint Lake, on the Pigeon River system of water stretches. The present portion of the line, which it is intended to build from Port Arthur to the boundary, is about 80 miles in length. Rev. D. M. Gordon, pastor of Knox Church, has received a call to the Plea- byterian Church in Halifax. His health has not been good for some time past, and it is thought he may accept it. The Galt coal mine is now working night and day, and turning out 400 tons of coal every twenty-four hours. The petition against the return of W. B. Scarth as member for Winnipeg came rip in court to -day. The case was enlarged, until next Wednesday. The cross peti- tion comes up on October 8th. This morning Senator Sanford, of Ham- ilton arrived in the city accompanied bythe Indian prince. The latter received a cable- gram which necessitates his immediate re- turn home. He will join Mr. Sanford ia some of that gentleman's Northwest invest- ments. The Troubles in Ireland. A Mitchellstown despatch states that Dillon and Harrington have given pledges that no public political meetings shall be held in Mitchellstown during the present trial. The Lord Mayor of Dublin has issued an appeal for 1 ands to defend and sustain the large number of politicalprisoners it 114 expected will soon be in jail under the Coercion Act. The weekly Nationalist papers through- out Ireland publish the usual reports of the proceedings of the various local branches of the League, despite the fact that under the terms of the new Crimes Act the editors are liable to imprisonment for publishing the reports, which teem with violent denunciations of the Government.
