New York, Jan. 7. ----One of the worst
fires the fire fighters of the city have
i been called on to contend with in some
time started in the tenement district on
West 53rd street, between 9th and 10th
avenues, shortly after 1 a. m. to -day.
The fire began in a livery stable at No.
429, spread to another stable next door
and had reached four adjacent tenements
across the street before it was brought
; under control.- Lack of water pressure
'was responsible for the extensive spread
of the flames, according to the fire chiefs.
When the pressure was strengthened the
'firemen quickly controlled the blaze.
the loess early to -day was estimated at
$200,000.
Several persons are reported missing,
and the police believe that they have
perished. Two of these are the husband
and four-year-old child of Mrs. Kate
Garland, who lived at 428 West 53rd
street, across from where the fire start-
ed.. Mrs. Garland thinks that her hus-
band and child were burned to death,
as they were still in tlre;Garlana apart

Fireman Alfred Kinsella, ,while fight-
ing the fire from the roof on No. 427,
fell from the firth storey to the length
storey when the roof of the building eel-
lispsed. Ife was rescued at great; risk
by some of his companions, but was,,eo

GRITTIEST OF U

Attacked by Beast Bostock Man Shows Great
Presence of Mind.
Toledo, O., Jan. 7.—With the rare pre-
sence of mind often displayed by profes-
sional animal trainers in a crisis Henry
Ray, of the I-lostock animal circus, yes-
terday held off two lions while the third
was mauling him to a pulp in the cage
in which he was giving an exhibition.
Ray was perforating an act with the
lions known as the Lion Ifunt. One
of the brutes became unmanageable and
attacked the trainer. The beast leaped
on Ray from behind and bore him to the
ground. Ray, despite the fact that the
animal was chewing his shoulder. called
continually to the other .]urns wthile try-
ing to bring the maddened beast under
Lis influence. In the meantime several
attendants opened the door to the ani-
mals' living cage in the rear of the
cage hi which the performance was go-
ing on. With great presence of mind
Ray then fired his pistol •taiee, the usual
signal for the animals to. retire. The two
lions not attacking the trainer at once
made for the opening, followed almost
mediately by the attacking animal,
whose attention was attracted by the
click of the catches.
The trainer was badly injured. He
was removed to a.hospital. It isfeared
that his injuries will prove fatal.
The audience realized what Wag going

GREAT SALE Of
DAIRY CATTLE.
MATT RICHARDSON RETIRING FROM
THE WELL-KNOWN FIRM.
Sixty-two Head Sold for $9,xo5 in Two
Hours—Mr. J. W. Richardson Will
Continue L_vcrside Farm.
Mr. Matt. eicharteson, founder of the
celebrated fins of M. Richardson & Son,
proprietore of the Rivers;de stock farm,
near Caledonia, and breeder;; of Holstein -
Friesian tittle. is retiring from active
business. and in future Mr. J. W. Rich-
ardson, his son and partner, will carry on
the business. Last `l'hui .day they had
a sale to reduce the stock. and it proved
the greatest in the history of Canada in
that breed. of cattle. Fully 500 fanciers
were present, coming from as far east
as Prince Edward Island and as far west
as Winnipeg. During the clay 62 head
of the famous dairy breed were sold,
Some of them were calves of but a few
months, and from that age they ranged
sip to time -tried ranchers. The 62
brought $9,105, an average of $147 for
all ages, and were all disposed of in two
hours.
• The arrangements for the sale were in
every way the most excellent that could
be devised. The morning trains from
east and west all stopped at the farm,
which is situated just on the Buffalo &
Goderich line, about two miles from
Caledonia. The trains from Toronto and
•Hamilton were met with rigs at the
depot. A£' the farm a large tent was
erected, 40x00 feet, and this was seated
all around, with a ring in the centre
into which the animals were led for ex-
hibition and sale, one at a time. Lunch
eras served at the house, both before and
after the sale.
Proceedings begun punctually at noon,
and were opened by Prof. Day, of the
Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph,
with an interesting addres's regarding the
superior merits of the Holstein -Friesians
as a dairy breed, and their possibilities
for the future, referring at some length
to the unequalled advantages offered to
dairymen and breeders by this big sale.
,Capt, Robson, the well-known London
auct. oneer, wielded the hammer, assisted
by Auctioneers Merrell and Wigg, of Cal-
edonia and Cayuga.
The average price. for 20 cows, two
years and over, was $102; for nine heifers
over one year, $141; for eight heifers
under one year, $90, and for 16 bulls,
five of them under three months, $077.
Prof. Day, of the 0. A. C., and B. Beby,
of Buffalo, paid the highest price of the
day, the former giving $400 for Johanna
Rue 4th Lad, and the latter the same
amount for Inka Mercedes De Koe. D.
0. Flatt, of Millgrove, paid $175. for
Daisy Pieterje Johanna; E. L. Beckett,
1 of this city, $105 for Pussie Johanna Rue
and $165 for Toitilla Tented De Koe; J.
W. Gathercole, this city, $100 for Daisy
Pieterje De Kos and $15 for Sir Aggie
Wayne Lad,
Mr. J. W. Richardson Inas retained
some of the finest of the stock, and will
give his especial attention to breeding
and raising of these fine cattle.

COUNTESS CLANCARTY DEAD.
Was Belle Bilton, London 1YIusic Hall
Singer,
London, Jan. 7.—Countess Clancarty,
better known, perhaps, as Belle Bilton,
an ex -music hall singer, is dead, at the
age of 38 years. -Her marriage in 1890 ett
a registry office to Lord Dunlo, who sue-
ceeded his father, the Earl of Clancarty,
in 1891, caused a. sensation in society.
The marriage proved to be a happy one.
Belle Bilton began dancing and singing.
as a little girl at the Woolwich Barracks,
where her father was a sergeant of artil-
lery. Her mother had taken part in the
little amateur theatrical affairs at the
army post and brought her two dough -
terse Belle and Flo, up in a singing and
dancing atmosphere. When the two girls
were still in their teens they wene to
London and "did the balls."
They attracted no attention whatever
and were eeesidered not nntch as dancers
and a whole lot Less as singers, until Vis..
count Dunlo, the eldest son of the Earl
of Clanearty, became attentive to Belle.
Even then, London wasn't much con-
corned over the ginger, but when she
married Viscount`Tr iinlo in 3,989 a nine-
ber of curious fitshioeable folk were at-
tracted to the:auntie sie halls where aIle •ap-
peered, and • c began to be talked
about,
'She achieved more notoriety: bT rea-
son of an action for divorce .that Was
brought by her husband,
All this served to gget Belle talked
about, and Londoii;.fellall over' itself
in crowding stuffy music halls to see her
dance and sing in an absurd burlesque
called "Venus" that would have needed'
the protection of a net in some parts of
the country.

1891 Belle Bilton became a peeress and

for his bewildered brain to solve. With
a yell he aroused a dozing colored por-
ter, who almost faded away as his eyes
fell upon the form of 1�leld. Jus head
swathed in white bandages and a loose
white sheet dangling from his shoul-
ders. The darkey yelled and pulled
a rope, throwing open a door, and
permitting Field to flee from the place
of the dead. Field was so eager to
get away that he could not be headed
by his pursuers. The colored porter
was too frightened over the ghostlike
apparition to tell what had become of
the patient.
An investigation disclosed that Field
was taken to the hospital late last•
night, unconscious from a blow on the -

porter was ordered to wheel him to it

given the preliminary treatment. On

Chardon, 0., Jan. 7.—Death came to
Arthur Carrier, 35 years old, of
Heart's Grove, a village near this town,
as he drove through the darkness last
night, bearing homeward a coffin in

His 'body was found in the coffin.
Violence is suspected, and officers of

and capturing the assassins of the cof-

The body, already cold, was found
lying in the coffin on the wagon early-
ticis morning. Searching parties had
had been scouring the country for
hours, as his non-appearance had not
been aerounted for. Men had been wait- •

came anxious when Carrier did not re-
turn from the ten -mile drive to Windsor
within the time they thought sufficient
for the journey. As they debated the
question of delaying the completion of
the funeral arrangements until morn-

team turned into his driveway and pull-
ed the wagon to the open barn doors.
But Carrier was not in the seat. Think-

possible he was asleep in the wa

KILLEFOR ROYAL LIBELS.
Writers Assassinated for Books That
Offended Monarchs.
The emperor of Germany has been
much worried recently. An ill-advised
young man, Prince Alexander of Hohen-
lohe-Schillingfurst, has published the
memories of his father, the late imperial
chancellor, which made publie facts
about the private life of German rul-
ers and statesmen and home and foreign
'politics.
And as n. result of the Kaiser's indig-
nation Prince Alexander has tendered to

THE SADDEST FACT ABOUT NEW
YORK.
William Allen White, the famous Kan-
sas editor and novelist. writes of New
York City and Emporia (his home
town) in the January number of The
American Magazine. Following is Mr.
White's account of the saddest thing he•
sees in New York:
"Country -dwelling American men and
most of the women are instinctively
democratic. And being democratic the
cities sadden us country people. For
the city—and New York is typical
of urban America—fosters too much;
of the sham relation between ' men
that one finds where class lines are set.
The eternal presence of a serving elaess,
whose manners may some day petrify^
into servility, the continual discovery
that the man who brings the food, or
sweeps the street, or drives the cab, con-
siders wholesome conversation with him
from his patrons as a sign of low breed-
ing, the presence of the man who fawns~
for a quarter, all these make the coun-
tryman in New York desire to rush,
hone and organize a Sitting Bull Lodge -
of
odge••
of Ancient and Amiable Anarchists!
"It is not the extravagances of the •
rich, but the limber knees of too many
of the poor, that disgust the country-
man
ountry
man in New York. The saddest thing-
in
hin-
in that great city, to one who comes
from the frank, wholesome, clean, hap.
py faces of the country, is not the paint,
ed lady's face, with its glassy eyes, not
the oi*erfed, puffy -necked figures of the,
lazy, respectable hotel -dwelling women,
who get no more exercise than stuffed,.
geese, not the besotted faces of the men
about .the barrel houses—though a mer-
ciful God knows they are sad enough;
but sadder than they are the loathspme,
wooden faces of the men who stand`
decked out like human manikins in pur-
ples and greens and what -not of modish-•,
silliness and, for a price, surrender,.'
themselves to be made part of the land
seape. For years Miekle, the painter,
was the lowest form of humanity Wee
n.
had in Emporia. He was the tow.
drunkard, and once they fined him for •
beating his wife; drink .made, • him as
loafer and a brute. But some way one -
felt down in Miekle there was the sour,
of a man; some way one knew, that he
would not do certain things for money;
some way one always understood that
Miekle could still look into depths of`°.
personal degradation below him, and tell':
whoever tempted him there to go toe
hell! But, on the other hand, spine way=•
the flunkey is just a flunkey, and he
seems to have given up the right to re-
sent personal insult when he assumes.,
the miserable part. And for a man to .
commercialize Itis American birthright -.
seems a heart -breaking tragedy."
A poem has even brought about the
death of its writer and in England, too.
