in the Christian Church, with Ed.
Jno. A. Brooks, Of Mexico, in the

on organization was read Wednes-
day morning, as follows: President,
John A. Brooks, Mexico; Vice
President, W. +. Switzler, Columbia
Secretary, I. J. Wheat, Mexico
Treasurer, j.. NJ. Gordon, Mexico.
The officers are all good men, but il
looks like there could have been but
few present, except from Audrain.
| All the officers, except Switzler, are
from Mexico. But there is nothing
like n city controlling the oiilcerslan M
their influence. Can it be that Mex.
! leo will be the father of a new party.

The city Solons also say no gas
works shall be built in the city,
Daily Intelllgencer.
The above appeared in the fog-horn
last Tuesday, and leaves a false i'm
preston upon the "many'' readers of
that sheet; but we should not notice
it for fear we might be demanded to
make an apology, except that III at
t%ention has been called to it by the
Mayor and members of the council,
who request US to correct the matter.
We don't suppose the editor made
the error Intentionally, but think it is
the work of the young snipe who
thinks he runs that paper, and the
LEDGER also. As a matter of fact,
every member of the council is in
favor Of gas. The point under con
sideration was how neal to a dwelling
house should the works be built.
Some of the council think 1900 feet
not too long a distance, while others
think 500 feet plenty. The matter
can be easily settled as soon as any
one puts in an appearance to build
the works. The council are in favor
of gas, the majority are anxious for
gas, and they regret to have such an
asslnine report go out to the world
as that we have noticed.

A Big Fire.

Quebec, 9.-One Of those destructive
fires to which Quebec is so subject, broke
out at IL D. m. amidst St. Johns suburbs,
midway between St. Roch's and the up
per town. The fire originated In snail
wooden house in Oliver street, and i'm
mediately spread TO the adjoining build
ings. The fire brigade became democrat
lzed and lost all control of themselves
and the fire. At 2 o'clock this morning,
st. Johns Church, Roman Catholic, the
largest in the city, worth 500, 600, is
burning, and 600 houses are destroyed,
some brick AID stone, but the majority
poor and small and of wood. The loss
30 far must be ever $75O,OOO. Certainly
1000 families are homeless. The fire is
still spreading. No loss Of life is re-
ported yet, but several persons are MISC
ing. The houseless are camped out in
the fields surrounding the city. Thieves
made off with most of the property saved
from the flames, and the fire overlook
nearly all the remaining movsbles. Halt
the people in the town block the streets,
and ths tiremen are impeded A panic
prevails every where. Burning sparks
and shingles are falling all over the city,
and its total sweeping out of exist nee is
by no means improbable. A Lum Der OF
local insurance companies seem 10 be
paralyzed by this disaster. The principal
streets destroyed are Richmond, L teou-
vile, Richelieu and Daguillop, running
east aud west, parallel with the river;
also st. John, st. Marie, Deligy, st.
Clair aud Sutherland, running north and
south. Richmond, LsteouviIle and st.
Oliver were principally inhabited by the
densi monde. In many instances the
parties burned out owned their resi-
dences.
The fire brigade is niser ,bly made
