trial for some days on q charge of in
subordination and contumacy. Today
the Bishop of Columbia delivered iudr-
ment, revOking the Deans license to
preach. A popular agitation at once CON-
menced. The church bell was tol]ed
and the bishop and his Court Kissed
from the church. The Dean was loudly
cheered by the populace of all denomii-
nations, who charge that Deans offence
consists in his opposition to the ritualis-
tic practices of the Bishop. On Mon
day night, the Bishops barns were fred
and burned to the ground. The Cathe-

Destructive COnha grafton ut Fall niv.r
MRss.--Great Loss Of life.
FALL RIVER, September 19.-Granite
Mill No. l, in this city, was burned to-
day. causing a fearful loss of life. As
near as can be learned, under the pres
ent excitement, the fire originated in
tho fourth story. An attempt was
made to extinguish it with buckets of
water, and the door leading to the
spool-room, which opens south on the
lower staircase, was closed, to keep
back employees and prevent a panic:
but when the flames gained such a
Roadway it was impossible to stay them.
The escape of the girls in the SPOOL
room was cut Oft. The terrified crea-
lures rushed in body for the fire es-
cape, but the roaring flames and blind
ing smoke which poured into the room
forced them into the northeast end of
the apartment, where there was no
means of escape. Many by this time had
become sufiocated; others, preferring
death by falling the ground, sprang
recklessly from the windows and were
picked up mangled and bleeding, dead
and dying. The excitement was terri
bic. All medical men in the city were
promptly on hand. Mattresses, wag-
ons, and all the paraphernalia of the
hospital, were promptly furnished,
and the dead, dying and suffering
were attended to. 1t is certain that
nearly thirty or forty lives, nearly all
girls, have been lost, while the list of
wounded is probably as great.

the Austrian Polar Expedition left
Tromscc, in charge of Admiral Tege-
thoff, on the 14th of July, 1872. They
encountered n compact drift of ice in
4So cast longitude, and worked them
selves through until, in 1872 east longi-
tude, they reached the coast of Nova
Zcmbla. They sailed along the coast to
Beachy Island, where they met Count
Wiltzek's sloop Isbjoinen. They sailed
together to Bocnnt's Island, near the
promontory of Cape Nassau, where
they remained at anchor till August 81,
1872, on account of Southwesterly
storms. They parted with Count Wilt
EEK and steered northeast the same day,
and were completely frozen in. They
drifted with pack ice fourteen months
first, northeast to 1872 east longitude,
and then northwest until October, 1873.
In August, 1873, new land was dis
covered. They trifted with the leo
along this land. They were frozen in
and winterel in so 81 north latitude
and 50' east longitude. March and
April, 1874, sledge expeditions were
sent north and west, and so north
latitude was passed, and land was seen
to So. The extent of the land north
ward wasapparently considerable. The
ship, now being unavailable, was ADAM
doned. Starting on the Goth of May,
1874, with four sledges and boats, they
met open water on the 9Th of August,
crossed to Nova-Zemhla, and went along
the coast in search of vessels. They
met Russian schooner on the Oath of
August in Puchowa Bay, and arrived at
Warloc on the 3D. of september. The
health of the crew was excellent. En-
gineer Chirsh died in March, 1874,
from tuberculous disease.
