A Disastrous Fire.

ISGERsoLL, OXFORD COUNTY, CANADA,
May S.-About II o'clock last night a
most disastrous fire broke out in the
Royal Exchange Hotel stables, corner
of Oxford and Charles streets, and
spread with alarming rapidity north
ward and eastward to Thomas street
the principal street Of the town, taking
in the Niagara District Bank, the
Chronicle newspaper Office and a num-
Der of intermediate stores, which were
all good brick buildings. The fire also
spread to the east side of the street,
burning all the principal dry goods and
grocery stores OF the town. Only eight
stores OF the whole business portion OF
the town were saved from destruction.
John O'Maud, of this town, while
attem pting to save some of his property,
was burned to death, and several others
are known to have persisted in the
flames. The loss will not fall short OF
five hundred thousand dollars.

Yesterday afternoon (says the Pitts
burgh Commercial Of the 27th) 8 young
lady Of this city, very respectfully con
nected, was found 10 have been guilty
OF the larceny Of about two hundred
volumes of books from the stores OF J.
W. Pittock & Co. and Davis & Co
The lady in question had been suspected
for some time by attaches Of the stores
in question of pilfering books. and yes.
terday, as the detective says, "the dead
wood was found on her. Nearly two
hundred volumes, the majority OF them
nicely bound. and embracing all sorts
of subjects, from "Christ's Cadets" to
the Woman in White" were found al
q second hand bookstore, where she had
been selling books for years.
The books we're brought to the
Mayors Office, where they were
fully identified by their owners.
Whether suit will be entered or not
will be determined to-day. One thing
is certain-if there is such q thing a.
akleptomanis"-a disease of which the
principal symptom is stesling-this is
such q case. The yoang lady and her
relatives are in excellent circumstances,
and well able to provide the necessaries
Of library, or, indeed, anything else
that money will purchase, and that she
should resort TO stealing books can only
be set down TO the account Of "klepto-
mania" The case will likely be more
fully developed to-day.

The Weather To-day.

WASHINGTON, May 8, 7 P. M
ProbdbiGties.-A falling barometer with
cloudy weather and rain will prevail
on Thursday from the Ohio Valley
northward over the lakes, and probably
extend eastward over the northern por-
ton Of the Middle States, with south
erly winds. Increasing cloudiness with
easterly and southerly winds are prob
able for New England and the southern
portion of the Middle States. South
erly winds with partially cloudy wealth
er is probable for the Southern States
with threatening weather and probably
rain from the Western Gulf States to
the Ohio Valley. Dangerous winds are
not anticipated, except, possibly, for the
upper lake region to night.

Large numbers Of sesmen are now ir

men who have been engaged by ship
owners to replace the strikers have

Terrible Calamity I'm British India.
LONDON, May S-Noon.-A dispatch
lust received in this city, contains in
,o,mation of terrible calamity which
LAS belsllen the town Of Vellore in
British India. Daring a hurrica ne,
sbich extended for miles along the
.s,tern shores OF the Indian Ocean, the
waves rose to an immense height and
swept over the sloping table land, which
'o,ms the coast bouudry of the Presi-
3,ncv of Madras, inundating the
country for miles into the interior. The
own of Vellore was covered by the
3Joi. Many houses were swept en-.
u:sIy away and upwards Of one thou,
sand Of the unfortunate inhabitants
we're drowned. On the first approach
@: the sea large numbers OF persons
a.l from the town in precipiate haste
sad sought refuge in the mountainous
districts to the south. When the hur-
,icane abated and the food receded the
counrv bordering on the sea coast was
found 10 he strewn with the bodies Of
men and animals mingled with the
wrecks Of buildings.
The amount of damage occasioned
bv the food is beyond estimation. Over
1900 OF the inhabitants Of Vellore
sre houseIes, and are are now living
in rude and improvised dwellings until
s better means of shelter is obtainable.
Three thousand unfortunate families
are stated to be utterly destitute, every
portion OF their effects having been
Eept away by the varacious flood.
gae thousand acres Of crops, which
te6re the present calamity were in q
iHVing condition, are totally ruined.
sod The prospects Of the sufferers with
;sgsrd to the means OF subsistence are
s! present OF a most discouraging char
sc;er. Vellore is a fortified town OF
British India in the Presidency OF
Madras 1t is both large and populous
and is one Of the best built and most
important town in the Presidency.

succeeded in preventing. He was salts
fed that there was no prospect OF an
amnesty bill passing this session, unless
action can be secured on the civil

Mr.. Trumbull said to call it a civil

Mr. Sherman expressed his surprise

The Two G.. greeley and Grant


The first G. in 1881 made his way on
foot to New York, poor, ragged boy
without cent in his pocket or a friend
in the city. By his honest industry
and integrity he has acquired q COM
potency and made himself the news
paper man of the United States, If not
in the world. The more honest Of the
Republican party have made him their
candidate for President OF the United
States.
The other g from early boyhood
was the pet Of the government. BY
the influence OF the member OF Con
gress from his district he was sent 10
that hot bed Of Goldfish aristocracy,
West Point, where he was fed, clothed
and educated at the expense OF the
people of the United States. When
circumstances compelled him 10 resign
bis position in the army TO save him
self from a dishouorable dismissal, the
fact was demonstrated tha, he was not
com petent to make for himself an
ordinary living, but for years laid
around loose, "subsistiug on the charity
OF his relatives and friends. The acci-
dents Of war threw him to the surface
and he is now President Of the U0ited
States, in which position, in the three
years last past, at a salary OF S25 900 a
year he has accumulated fortune OF
one TO one and half millions OF dol
lars. The one acquired q fortune by
honest and unrelenting industry, the
other by black mailing the Office seek
ers Of his party.
Which OF these two men will the
honest laboring Republican masses OF
the country support
