An Internal Machine in Montreal
 Traces of q FenIan Conspiracy.
 MONTREAL, Dec. "A fact has rust come to light, but which the authorities are endeavoricg to keep from the public in the strictest secrecy, which shows that there was some foundation for the rumor of Fenian city. About 5 p. nn. last night man pass ing the court house, one of the most sub- stantial and solidly built edifces in the city, noticed small box lying within the railing near the court house. He picked it up and took it to the central police station at the City Hall adjoining. An ex-sergeant of the imperial army royal engineers named Clarke, who happened to be in the station at the time, went over to examine the box and at once from previous experience recognized it as an internal machine. Further examination disclosed the machine to be one of the most perfectly made of it's kind, being strongly constructed of galvanized zinc fitted with clock work of the most approved kind and loaded with six pounds of dynamite. Great was the horror of those examining the ma chine to discover it in full working order and had been going about two hours. It was set for eighteen hours and would have thus exploded at o'clock this morning. -Er the clock work and stop the motion, then to institute inquiries as to how the machine came there. The beautiful and perfect mechanism proclaimed it to be of American make, though Clarke says it may be of some German manufacture. Clarke is well acquainted with the nature of these explosives and says the charge was sufficient to blow up the court house or any other building in the city, It is hardly possible to imagine that the attempted outrage can be attributed to local Fenians. on account of the defeat of the Land League president in Fridays elections. The affair evidently points to widely or ganized Fenian movement in the UnitedStates against the British government, and col fusion with custom officials by which the machine was smuggled across the lines. The authorities are endeavoring to keep 1t dark and refuse the press anything on the subject. It is believed an official inyestiga- ton will be opened to morrow and probably 9 reward will be offered to discover who placed 1t in the position found.

FIRE RECORD.

A Disastrous Fire-A Number of Flour
 lion Dollars.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 4.-At 4 o'clock this morning fire broke out in the oil room of the Pillsbury s.B'' mill, situated in the great milling center The fire had gained headway when discovered and made very rapid prog ress into the combustible material in the oil room. The flames spread from the Pillsbury mill, involving in turn the total destruction of the Excelsior, Minneapolis and Empire mills The flames also communicated to the cotton mills of D. Morrison & Co. and wood offices adjoining Soon there was terrific explosion, which shook the city to its founda- tion, and the front walls of the Minneapolis mill fell forward, carrying down portion of the elevated railway in front and burying beneath the ruins four firemen, including Assistant Chief Engineer Neil Frederick. This gave the flames fresh impetus, and for a time it seemed as if the whole manufacturing center was doomed. The heat was so intense that near approach was impossible, and the flames soon leaped across the street and enveloped the dust house of D. R. Barbes' Cataract mill This involved the destruction of the Washburne and other costly mills and for time the result was in doubt. But the fire was finely stayed.S The mills de- stroyed aggregate one-tenth of the milling capacity of the city. The loss will be fully $1 ,O0O, 900, as follows: Pillsbury ''B" mill owned by c. O. P1llsbury & Co.,, capacity 800 barrels of four per day, $780, Ex- celsior mill, operated by the same. owned by D. Morrison, capacity 600 barrels daily. $13O, ,eO0; Minneapolis, owned by Crocker, Fiske E Co., capacity 400 barrels. $10o, 900 ; Empire, operated by Pillsbury and owned by S. Watson of Leicester, Mass, $50 barrels, $I25, 900; Minneapolis cotton, D. Morrison, $500, ,Ooo. The killed are Neil Frederick, who was on top of the elevated railroad track when the explosion occurred and was instant ly killed by falling walls; John Fury, a member of the hook and ladder company i; Alex.

Strange Scene in a Theater.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 4.-There was an in- teresting interpolated scene during Fanny Davenport's performance in Macbeth" at the Walnut Street Theater last night. As the second act finished small man took a seat in the parquet. When Miss Davenport came on in the first scene of the third act and was alone the small man went hurriedly down the aisle and sprang upon the stage close by the private box. He drew from his pocket a paper, on each end of which was a string, and rushing at the actress endeavored to tie the document around her neck. The audience, suspecting that an attempt was being made to assault the actress became ex- cited. The stage hands sprang forward and hustled the intruder (who proved to be a dep uty sherlf) from the stage. When quietness was restored Miss Davenport came forward and said
 Ladies and Gentlemen-I presume that this is an attempt to serve a legal summons upon me at the suit of Miss Anna Dickinson. regret that this strange method of procedure has been taken. If there are any more per- sons in this audience who wish to take the same steps hope they will wait until the performance is over, when I will receive all such. The play will go on.
 It was subsequently, learned that Miss Dav- exports surnlise about the suit was correct and that Miss Dickinson's attorney was in the theater at the time. The play of 'sThe American GirI'' was the cause.
