will be opened next Monday in the
various churches and halls in town.
The Rev. Mr.. Wright of the Episcopal
church was severely burned, and
Barney Reighl broke his leg. The
fire made tremendous illumination,
which was seen in towns 40 to so
miles away.
The Owosso fire department was
telegraphed for help, and notwilh-
standing an ordinance passed last
year prohibiting the taking Of the
engine out of town, the authorities
generously sent the steamer and hose
carts to the depot to be sent to our
aid. No fiat car could be procured
so the engine did not get here, but
our citizens are duly grateful just the
same as if the boys had come up and
squirted.
The Corunna coal company has got
a new shaft opened and is taking out
10 to IL tons Of coal per day. The
officials of the Detroit, Grand Haven
and Milwaukee railroad company have
been here and laid out a railroad to
the mines. Work has begun on the
track, which will be finished in two
weeks. Both shafts will soon be
raising 200 tons day, and will give
employment to 900 men.
William Fauth is building a $40, 900
hotel on the site of the Corunna
house. The first story is up.
An effort has been made to induce
the dam owners below US on the
raging Shiawassee to put fish shutes
in their dams. The gentle supervisor
of Chesaning township refuses to give
the notice to the owners, hence no
shutes this year. 1t seems the natives
down there derive a large share Of
their incomes from catching suckers
in the spring, and the supervisor afore.
said selfishly spurns his duty and thus
gets up piscatorial corner on his
own hook. Inasmuch as there is nc
way to prosecute the dam owners nm
less a proper notice has first beer
served on them by the supervisors ir
the towns in which the dams are
located, there is no chance of en-
forcing the law. The next legislature
will be petitioned to fix this law 81
that its execution will not depend OF
the will of supervisor.

Correspondence Of The Post and Tribune
CoRUNNA, November 1s.-As al
ready telegraphed The Pest and Til
6une the splendid Union school
building in this place was totally
destroyed by fire last night, with all
its contents. The lyceum, consisting
of an attendance of so young people,
had just closed exercises in room on
the second floor. A young lady going
down stairs discovered fire raging
in the basement and gave an instant
alarm. Without an opportunity to
save a thing, even shawls and wraps,
the audience rushed down stairs in a
binding smoke. Several were nearly
sufocated and had to be carried out.
Prof. Kingman stayed at the head of
the upper stairs like hero, and got
all out. That gentleman nearly lost
his life in escaping. Before any or
ganized effort could be made the fire
had become uncomfortable, and in a
very short time the noble structure,
together with the old school building
adjoining, were burned. A gale Of
wind was blowing, and the whole sky
over the town was alive with sparks,
burning boards and shingles. Hun
dreds of citizens were kept fighting to
save their houses and those of their
neighbors. Barns, houses and straw
stacks caught in all directions. For
two hours it seemed as if the whole
second ward would be destroyed.
This is the most disastrous fire
Corunna has ever experienced, and
is the second heavy loss the town has
sustained within a few weeks. 1t
seems as if the fire fend is bent on
very materially helping us in our proud
position and distinction of being "the
smallest city in the United States,"
which is really true in fact. The loss
will reach $4,000, on which there is
an insurance of $1,000 in various
companies. The Detroit Fire and
Marine is down for $4,000. A very
sad feature of the loss is the total
destruction of the ladies' library, con-
sisting of 1000 volumes, and the
school library of 500 volumes. One
piano, two organs and valuable
collection of curiosities and apparatus
were destroyed. Over 400 pupils

Money by the Ton.

From the statement at the Phila-
delphia mint, which has lust been
completed by Director Burchard and
First Auditor Reynolds, It Is ascer-
tained that the operations for the past
fiscal year have been unusually large.
The whole amount of precious metal
received by superintendent Snowden
was 1852, 500. 40 ounces of gold, valued
at $62, 2,902, ,947.9S and 5,756. .9O4. 90
ounces of silver, worth So, 1882, ,376. .96.
The amount and value of the bullion
operated upon by each of the opera
tive offices in the different processes of
coinage was the largest in the history
of the mint. The gold bullion was
290i tons, with n value of sl57 800, 600,
and the silver 596! tons, at $50, ,248, 600.
Upon this bullion there was legal
allowance for wastage of 52,372 &C.
1000 ounces, or S257, 1854, but at the
Philadelphia mint the wastage falls
very much below the allowance, being
only q, 3,467 275-lO0O ounces in gold and
silver, with value of SIS, 3,602.25, or
234, 1859 less than is allowed by the
treasury department.
In addition to the precious metals
there were coined 1885, ,665 pieces of
five, three aud onecent coins, equal
in weigh: to 1872 tons.
In the final count and weighing
there were found to be in the hands of
the superintendent in coin and bull
lion /, ,45G, ,G6l 965-lO00 ounces of gold
and 2, 2,483 1858 SCI 900 ounces of silver
with total value of $40, ,O26, 100. The

All for Minnie.

A Ridgway. correspondent OF the
Pittsburg Leader, whose thrilling de-
scriptive ability would secure him a
position in larger town, sends the
following Fourth Of July item to that
paper:
On Monday, July 4, an engine on
the Phila. Il Erie railroad, bound
westward at Sinnemahoning station,
in some unknown way, while the en-
gineer and fireman were off at some
other business, got detached from the
train and bounded down the track at
the rate of forty miles an hour. At
the rate of speed it was travelling it
would arrive about two miles west of
Driftwood as the eastward bound train
was due ut that place. Something had
to be done aud done quickly, or the
train aud its whole load of human
freight would be dashed into eternity;
who would save them from destruc-
ton? Mr.. Will j. Tourman bounded
on the platform bound to board the
flying engine. All remonstrance was
in vain, nothing could stop him. He
pulled off his coat and got ready for
his flying and desperate leap. Five
minutes to spare, he knelt for prayer
for fully three minutes, and arose
cool aud calm. He looked like a
guardian angel as he stood straight as
an arrow with such peaceful smile
OH his countenance. His prayer
Kind Heavenly Father guide my foot
steps as 1 make this attempt to save
human life, and il / am dashed into
eternity be thou with ME there.
Please, kind Father to take care of
Minnie, and if [ am lost may kind
people carry the news to her, and tell
her that | never forgot her in death.
l commend my soul to thee, Cod
Amen. At last she is i'm sight. He
makes ready for the fatal spring, $50
yards. He starts to run; everybody
stands breathless. At last they are
even. Hurrah! he Is aboard; soon all
will be safe. He stopped her and
backed into the siding just Us the
eastward-bound train dashed by at a
flying rate. He jumped off the engine
amid the cheers of hundreds who
floclied to see one who risked his life
for others. We must say the young
lady he spoke of in his prayer should
be proud of such a brave youdg man,
who could give up his life freely for
Others and remember her 50 dearly in
his prayer.

Death of Dean Stanley.

London, July 10. - Dean Stanley is dead.
The erysipelas, which was at first local, hav-
ing spread rapidly. Canon Farrar admins
tered the Sacrament to the patient early
yesterday morning. The archbishop of Cam
terbury arrived at the Deanery of Westnin-
lister just iu time to speak few words
before the latter became unconscious. Dean
Stanlcy's sister, Canons Farrar aud Jones,
and several members of the household were
present at his death bed. The Dean will
be buried beside his wife In Westminster
Abbey. The Ne,0s this morning says no
living divine will be more deeply regretted
or more widely missed than Dean Stanly.
Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, Dean of West
msnster, distinguished alike for his scholarly
attainments, as preacher and for his high
station in the church Of England. was born
in Alderly, Cheshire, In 1915. His father. DR..
Edward Stanley, was the Rector of that
parish for % years, and was then, in 1857,
made Biihop of Norwich. Dean Stanley was
educated at Rugby under the famous DR..
Arnold; from whom he apparently first i'm
bibed the liberal views which he afterward
carried to such lengths. He commenced
distinguished career at oxford by obtaining
u scholarship at Buiiiol ana the Newdigate
prize for his English poem, TIE Gypsies. He
gained n first class In classics in 1887; two
years aftcrward he took the Latin essay prize
and the following year he carried off the
English and Til Biological prizes. He was then
In 1910, elected " Fellow of University Col
lege, and was made select preacher in 1915; in
1851 Ire received the appoin tment of Canon
of Canterbury Cathedral, IL post which
carries with it a residence and salary of
5000 year. lie was made Regius Professor
of Ecclesiastical History of oxford in 1858;
Canon of Christ Church, with the famous DR..
Pusey, and Chaplain to the Bishop of London
until 1883, when he received from the hands
of Lord Palmcrston, who was then Prime
Minister his present appointment as Dean Of
Westminster, which is worth $4,000 a year
or 81 900 more than the salary of an American
Cabinet Minister.

Garheld'S Chance.

"Fll take that chance" said Gar
field, "and make the most of it,"
He has been taking his chances all
through life, anI making the most of
them.
He had chance-a bare chance -
in the start, but he cut through it with
the woodman's axe, he moved through
is with the scythe, he worked his way
over it by manual labor, and he made
the most of it in the country school.
He had Il chance at Hiram College
and before many years was its honored
president.
He had Il chance i'm the State Senate
and proved himself one of the most
industrious, most intelligent, and
most useful legislators the state has
ever had.
He had chance to defend the Union
and that he made the most of it his Ma

he made there, tell in the imperish-
able light of history whether the
chance was lost or won.
He had II chance at the National
capital. The legislation, the reforms,
the history that has been made, in the
past twenty years tell better than we
can how he improved the opportunity
that the lottery of human events had
opened to him.
Chicago gave him a chance. He
improved it so well that by October
his name was household word in the
land; and the election chance was his
in consequence.
He took the chance of being Presf-
dent without dictation, and of doing
fearlessly what he thought it his duty
to do. There was acknowledged pc.
litical danger in it, and events have
shown that it held great personal
and physical danger, but he met it
He won the moral fight; and the
splendid struggle that his strong
frame is making against physical
death gives hope that his last and
greatest chance will indeed be 'made
the most of. f."-Clevelend Herald.

He Was Just cut.

Some of our city clerks are con-
stantly annoyed by children coming
to the door and asking for cards,
empty boxes, and that sort of things.
The clerks are, of course, down on
the youngsters, and warefare never
ends. The other day u little girl
opened store door, and sticking her
head in called out:
"Say mister, have you got any
empty poxes?"
NO" said the clerk, not very po-
litely.
"Got any cards?"
mo"
"Got any almanaes?"
mo-"
"Got any empty boxes?"
"No."
"GOt any pictures?"
mo"
"Got any sense?"
"NO-yes-no-yes- you miserable
little wretch" and the clerk flew out
of the door, but the youngster was up
in the next alley making faces at him
and he came back madder than he
had been since his salary was re
duced.
