A despatch from Toronto says :—Ter -

dashed into it dense crowd of people,
who were watching the progress of a,
disastrous fire at the Bitoo Theatre on
Friday evening, and before they could
be stopped. a ,seere of people were
knocked to thetgeound. One boy. was
so injured that hoidied he half an hour,

is feared. will in some eases result fat-

The engine was standing at the south-
east corner of Adelaide and. Victoria
streets with steam up ready to come
into action if necessary, For some un-
explained reasot the driver had dis-
naounted when the engineer let off
steam. The noise so terrified tbe horses
that they plunged straight ahead, to-
wards the wall on the west side- of the
street, Driver Whitesides and Fire-
man Atkinson made a pluelty effort to
stop them, but were thrown to the
ground, and the heavy engine passed
over them. When they reached the
western kerb the horses swerved to the
south, and the enorraous strength
which they were exerting is shown by
the two holes groand out or the kerb-
stone by the wheels of the engine. The

literally packed into it. Half way
down the street a court runs eastward
between the Exchange Hotel and Rice

crowd, shrieking and utterly panic-
stricken, rushed until it was completely
blocked upend no more couldsqueeze
into it. A large square trough filled
with earth in which ferns end cedars
were growing extend.ed half way across
the court. It weighed. a ton, but the

who were driviree from Peshawar to

their coachman was killed.
DEMORALIZED I3Y MAXIMS.
The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:—" The British -In -
die military operations are flanking sat-
isfactory progress; two brigades, un-
iting in the hlohniand country, have
driven back the tribesmen, and have
used Maxim guns with great effect.
The Ghoorkas, the Bombay pioneers,
and the Punjab infantry, have done
the bulk of the fighting, with help from.
contingents of the Somerset and Dev-
on Regiments. The tribesmen made, a
brave stand, but were demoralieerl by
the fire from the Maxims. The cam-
paign in that quarter is virtually end-
ed, but it is hardly probable that the
colemn can be recalled to co-operate
with the main expedition against the
Afridis in the Tirah country, which
will not be ready to start for a fort-
night. The British forces, under cau-
tious leadership, will inevitably pun-
ish the hostile tribes and restore the
normal condition of peace on the fron-
tier, but when they retire the costly
work will have to be repeated before
many years."

many were crushed in the crowd or
were knoe led down and trampled on,
receiving injuries more or less painful.
The man in, charge of the engine
which caused the accident were not

was due to the fact, that Ball, the
driver, was at supper. :Whitesides, who
is the regular fireman, became driver
for the occasion, and Atkinson went on

On August 5th the naked body' of a
man, six feet four inches in height,
was found floating in the Thames, in
the vicinity of the decks. A strong
rope was wound tightly around the
neck and. down the back, tying the
hands, and then securely fastened to
the ankles. The body, it was declar-
ed, had been in the water a month,
and the doctors affirmed that death
was caused by strangulation before
immersion. The police, content with
the verdict of the coroner's jury, con-
signed the body to a. pauper's grave
in Mord cemetery.
About two weeks ago, Mme. von
Valtheim applied to the Home Secre-
tary for an order to have the body
exhumed, as she believed it to be that
of ber husband. She said she had
lost sight of him early in the year,
and that soon afterward he had biga-
mously married a young Greek lady,
Marie Magrovordato, whom he met at
a Bloomsbury boaraing-house. The
body was exhumed last Friday night,
and Mme. Valtheina identified it as
that of her husband: It is surmised
that Vo)a Valtheim was thrown over-
board from some foreign ship.

Tied His Bride to a Tree and Left 01457 FM'
Three Days Without 1!o.'! or Drink.
The town of Colgate, Indian Terri --
tory, is terribly excited over the dis-
covery of the horrible cruelties in-
flicted by Wiley BOGS on his bride of
three weeks. Sh6 was found, about a
quarter of a mile frora the house, tied
to a tree, in which position she bad
bean for three days, and in all that
time she received neither food nor drink
from her husband, who had tied her to
the tree.
The first ill treatment she received
was some 10 days ago, when her hus-
band tied her to it wagon wheel. Af-
ter he had thee secured. her be fired
off bis Winchester over her head sev-
eral times, end proceeded to beat her
with a club. How lung be beat her
she does not know, as she mercifully
berame unconscious after the first few
blows.
The next outrage was to tie it rope
around. her neck and, pull her up to
the joists in the c,ainu.
This be did until he supposed she Was
deed. Aft,t•r she laad survived this
treatment he tied her to a chair in
the bou.se. He brought leside her it
large can of giant. powder. Into the
spout of thie ran be stuffed paper. Be
ran out and remained away for 15min-
utes.
When he returned to the rode he
found that. the paper had berme' down
to the top of the spout. Pinging him-.
self foiled in this he then tied her to
it tree, where she was found unable to

work will prove fatal. as Mrs. Ross is
in a preetrious condition.
A despatch from London says:—The
present extraordinary epidemie of
murders, suicides, and outrages upon
uonoemcieunediend Itrinzdoen iroddaityas voief“inijtayekis,
the -Ripper." Daily, for a week past,
the public has been startled. by an at -
ragout; murder, and the alarm Isin-
creased by the fact, that the, perpetra-
tors a the erimes have WA baffled. the
poSee and. have eacaped without ap-
parent' leaving a clue as to their
identity.
The murder in a railroad carriage of
Miss Camp, in February lust, the per-
petrator of the crime not. having been
discovered, has been fielowed by an-
other railroad tragedy, in whieh Mrs.
Bryan, the wife of a Dr. Bryan, of
Northampton, has been killed under
circumstances pointing to murder. The
Rev. Dr. Aultney Erica a weil-known
divine, was lulled by burglars, at his
residence on Monday. A little boy
hal been kidnapped and murdered in
the. suburls; a rich miserly woman
has been found eut to pieces at
her residense Bethnal Green; and a
farmer's daughter. Emma Johnsen, has
been murdered at Windsor under re
culiarly atrodous circumstanees. Her
boly wee mutilated, stripped, and
thrown into the Thames.
The authors.of all thes.? outrages are
still at large and there seems to he
no trace of them, although the murder-
er f Emma Johnson is believed to be
a maniac whose withal identity is not
known bet who, for months past, has
frightened and a•sualted persons on the
road from Windsor to Maidenhead,
and who bas always managed to elude
capture.

tian expedition up the Nile. It is recog-
nized that an attack upon Khartoum
would. necessitate a strong backing of
British troops, and owing to the trou-
bles in India the War Office cannot

The Paris Figaro announces that a
treaty has been concluded between Sip, -
tin Pasha, representing Great Brit-
ain, and Sobein Pasha, representing
the Mahal, by -which the latter will not

Egyptian expedition as far as Khar-
toum, and Osman Digna's forces will

Great Britain desires. The following
are said to be the conditions upon which
this treaty was signed:—"The Matidi

Sobein Pasha continues to exercise the
functions of Governor of Darfur, un-
der the protection of Great Britain."

mission of James R.ennell Redd to
the Ring of Abyssinia obtained a
promise of neutrality upon the part
of Ring Menelik by guaranteeing the
western frontier of Abyssinia, in the
name of both Great Britain and the
Mahdi.
