crept nearer to the wall---the wall ap-

One day the wall laid aside his old

he had new coat. Again he was

recognized him. No one knew the

The Eastern Poor Asylum, in the
suburbs of Halifax, n. s., sheltering some
4O0 unfortunaes, was destroyed by
fire the other night. The inmates rushed
about in great confusion, seemingly almost
out of their senses, and the work of getting
them out was very difficult. The upper
story of the main building was used as a
hospital, and nearly all of the seventy pa
tients were perfectly helpless. The fire.
men made heroic efforts to reach the win
dows, but the ladders were too short and
the flames too fierce. Many OF the sick
who could not leave their beds
were suffoeated by smoke before the
fire reached them, and Others dashed
themselves against the windows and chung
to the sashes till their strength was exhaust
ed or their hands burned off. and fell back
into the seething caldron of flames. So far
as could be ascertained. not more than tif-
teen or twenty of the inmates were carried
out Of the hospital before the flames cut off
all further approach.
THIRTY workmen were killed by an
explosion in the Clay Cross Mines, in Der

A DISPATCH from Durham says two
batteries OF Transvaal Beers had an engage

into an ambush, killing 300.
AUGUST WEsTFIELD, young clerk
who was to have been married in Baltimore,
Md, on the 9th, fell from Locust Point
ferryboat and was drowned. The body was
recovered, and by some mistake sent to the
house OF his Intended, where the minister
and invited guests had assembled. The
shock was more than the bride-elect could
bear, and her recovery is doubtful.
WHILE a passenger train on the St.
Joseph & Western road was approaching
Alexandria, Nebr., the other night, the
lower trucks OF the tender became detached,
and the baggage-car was overturned. Frank
Hurst, a brakeman was killed, and Con-
