Others Missing.

son Nv HER ARMS. AND BOTH
ARE BADLY INJURED

BosroN, September II. A shocking ca
lamity took place shortly after midnight to-
night. AT fire which occurred in tenement
house in South Boston. The house was
occupied principally by Germans, nearly all
of whom were asleep at the time. The fire
made such rapid Roadway that before those in
the upper stories could descend all avenue of
escape was cut off. The scene was one of
great distress, as the imprisoned victims APP
peared on the roof and az the windows in vain
attempt to seek safety. Several were burned
to death. and others badly injured, end it is
not yet known what is the full extent of the
calamity.
Mary IIildrcth was burned to death, her
husband is also badly burned and has been
removed tn the hospital. Ferdmad Mayruth
jumped from the roof and was killed. His
wife, aged %, jumped from third story win
dow with her son. The woman had a leg and
arm broken, and was otherwise injured, and
the boy was badly hurt in the spine. The
body of man supposed to be Christian Fifer
was found in the ruins. A young woman
and two children known to have been in the
house are missing, and probably are burned.

Notes from tae Cam .,-l;round.

A meeting of the Executive committee was
held here to-day, and by courtesy of the
committee was present. 1t is just beauti-
full here, just the kind of weather to make
one wish to stay all the time. All will leave
this evening wishing the day longer. The
day has been occupied by the committee in
closing the business of the year, and as far
as can be judged it has been financially sue
cessful. Ii is probable that enough has been
received to pay the expenses Of the year,
which We call doing well. The heaviest ex-
penses are salary Of superintendent and in
terest account. The ground rents have al
ways been considered too small, many believ-
| ing that the rents ought to pay the interest on
the debt, SO the association voted at the last
annual meeting to raise them some 33 per
cent, as even at that advance it would be
very small. The association voted also to
form joint stock company ana ask the leg
| islature to grant them charter. with all the
powers possessed by this association. The
shares are to be $40 cash, SO that every own
er of tent or cottage can take an interest in
it and have voice in the management of the
association. Nearly half the stock was taken
up before the meeting closed. Rev. Charles
+. Allen of Fairfield vas chosen to receive
subscriptions to the stock, and probably be-
| fore the legislature meets the necessary
amount will be taken.
| have spoken of the meeting being fnan-
cial success it was also a success spiritually,
as the niulttudes who were there will bear
me witness. Mr.. Earle held the people as
never saw any man do before. At the close
of each service the people were reluctant to
leave the stand, and many will date their re-
ligious experience to the labors of Mr.. Earle
at this meeting. The results must be as far
reaching as time, and it is earnestly hoped
that he may be at the Valley another year,
and we have good reason to believe that he
will be here
Mr.. Reed, who has lived upon the grounds
here for four years and had almost become a
fixture, has retired, and Mr.. Brann OF Angus
ia takes his place. We hope he may make
as faithful a superintendent as his predeces-
sor. MIR. Brann has been connected with Il he
place since it was first started and is well ac-
quainted with its wants, and doubtless will
carry out all Improvements suggested by the
committee. His work during the winter will
be to make seats with backs for the taberna-
Gle and at the stand, as far rs time will admit
S.me five acres next the county road will be
cleared up, which will add materially to the
place. Never did things look SO suspicious
for the kennebcc Valley camp-grounds AS at
the present time. :.

A correspondent Of the Salem Gazette,
writing from Minnesota, gives the following
concerning new treatment Of diphtheria ::
A young man, whose arm had been amputat-
cd, was attacked by diphtheria before heal
ing took place and instead Of the matter in
cident to that disease being deposited in the
throat, the greater portion appeared on the
wounded arm, and the diphtheria was very
light and easily managed. DIR. Davis, Of
Mankato, profited by this, and in his next
case of diphtheria blistered his patients
chest, and on this blistered part the chief de-
pnsits appeared. The theory Of DIR. Davis is
that diphtheria usually appears in the throat
because of the thinness Of the lining of the
throat. Hence, when the blister breaks the
skin upon any other part Of the body, the
disease appears there.
