Fretuman.—Shortly after twelve o'.
clook, on Wednesday morning of last
week, the fire alarm whistle was blown
and our citizens began scurrying dawn
town in hastily thrown on garments to
find out the cause of the alarm. It turn-
ed out that some of tbe boarders at the
Royal hotel had been awakened by emoke
in their rooms, and had thought the
hotel to be on fire. It transpired that
no fire could be found in the building,
and most of the citizens went home with
the impression that it was a false alarm.
this was not the case however. Mr.
Weir, in looking
pushed openthe around door of ot
J. A. Olack he smoke,
bake.ehop, and going in found the furn•
ace alight and smoke pouring from the
door. He also noticed a light showing
tbrougb the cracks in the floor. Pulling
up a board he found a lighted candle
stuck on a board among a lob of refuse ou
the top of an old brick bake -oven. He
palled the attention of Mr. Clark and
others to it. They look the candle out
and, after talking a while, were about to
go away, when fire broke out over the
ice cream booths, whish -consist of a
wooden shell built up within the ebop.
On the top of this was a lot of old bask-
ets, eto. Tbe fire bad bees very cleverly
laid, a candle being pat in a box in such
a way that after burning for a time it
would catch a lot of paper. Had this
not been noticed it would certainly have
burned the building and the family liv-
ing above would have bad a bard time
to get out. The furnace had been start•
ed so that it would appear that the fire
had originated there. The incendiary
however, did not seem to know how to
arrange the drafts, so that the furnace
smoked, and the smoke, penetrating the
hotel, caused an alarm before the fire
caught. It was n moat villainous scheme
and it is fortunate that it miscarried, as
not only the bakery but probably the
hotel and seed.etore on the other aide,
would have gone and many lives been
endangered. Mr. Clark had no suspic-
ion whatever of who theguilty party wee.
Some time ago the bank door was buret
in with a stick of wood and a lot of
sponge taken out of the trough and
spread over the floor, so that some one
seems to bear a grudge against kir. Clark.
At his instance, Coroner Smith held an
inquest on the fire.

The number of ants dwelling together

hundred thousand. They are always

ever having been observed between two

They are however, very exclusive, and
regard an immigrant} with horeer. When
an ant of the same species belonging to
another neat appears among them, he is
promptly taken by the leg or antenna
and put out. It would naturally bo sur-
mised that Male distinction was made by

they could recognize each other without
signs, attempts were made to render
them insensible, first by chloroform and
afterward by whiekey. "None 0f the
ants would voluntarily degrade them-
selves by getting drunk." Finally fifty
ante were taken, twenty.five from one
