LONDON, Nov. 29.-The Irish Govern
ment has prohibited the Orange and ma

held at Newry next Sunday.
The Standards s correspondent at Rome
says that Mr.. ErringtOn is trying to in
duce Cardinals Jacobini and SimeOni to
urge the American Bishops to take con-
certed action in regard to the Irish agita-
tors in America. The two Cardinals are
not disposed, however, to mix politics
and religion, but are willing to speak pri-
Yately to individual Bishops on the subject
A correspondent at Dublin saws that a
number Of Magistrates in Ireland declare
their intention of resigning their offices in
consequence of the suspension of Lord
Rossmore from his judicial functions.
The Lord Commissioners of the Privy
Seal, in their reply to Lord Rossmore's 5
letter explaining his action on the occa-
sion of the Orange and League meetings
at ROslea, County Fermanagh, on OctO-
Der Is, says that they cannot but regard
his action as utterly subversive of the
public peace. Loyal subjects can hold
meetings to protest against sedition, but
must not provoke a collision with their
opponents in so doing, and magistrates
cannot be allowed to sanction such a
course.

NEW YORK, Nov. 80, l A. MA fire
broke out in the Windsor Theatre at No.
"a Bowery, shortly before u O'Clock to-
night. The flames spread with terrible
rapidity. and within few minutes after
the alarm had been sent out the whole
structure was in 4 blaze from cellar to
roof. The efforts of the fire department
were unavailing to check the conflagra-
ton and the buildings will be totally de-
stroyed. The fire is still raging and the
flames have communicated with several
adjoining buildings. The loss will be
great.
Boston, Nov. 29.-Early this morning
fire was discovered in the Hotel Clifton. a
tive-stOry brick building situated at the
corner of Berwick Park and Columbus
avenue. The inmates were hastily
awakened and fled in their night clothes,
escaping without accident. The fire,
which it is supposed was caused by
the explosion of a kerosene lamp.
originated in the furnace room in the
basement and followed the elevator we'll
to the roof, spreading out through each
floor into the various rooms. The fire was
a stubborn one, but was confined to one
building. George b. Taylor, the owner of
the building, loses about $4,000. The
losses of the occupants were slight and
were caused principally by smoke and
water.
SOUTH FRANIINGHAM, MASS, Nov. 29.-
The SaXOnville Wooden Mills, at Saxon
vile, Mass, owned by Michael Simpson,
were burned this morning. The fire
originated in the drying room of mill No.
and communicated to the other mills.
Five buildings were destroyed. The COM
pany manufactured blankets and yarn for

ployed about 500 hands. The loss on the

VOLTS AccomDIice

LONDON, Nov. 29.-The Frenchman who
was arrested last evening ON suspicion of
being implicated with the Socialist, Wolff.
in plot to blow up the German Embassy
with Internal mechines, is named Bondu-
rand. He will be brought before the Bow
street Police Court to answer to a charge
of criminal conspiracy.
The second Frenchman arrested today
is named BOndurand, and is a brother of
the Frenchman who gave the information
which led to the arrest of Wolff, and
afterwards made his escape. Wolff and
Bondurand were arraigned in Bay Street
Police Court to-day. Mr.. Poland ap-
peared as the prosecutor in behalf of the
Treasury. 1t was shown that the prison.
ers were not members of a secret society.
1t appears their object was either to cause
an explosion at the German embassy, or
by timely warning to the police TO prevent
a pretended intended explosion and
fix the guilt upon some in
nocent person. A man named
Kallborn alias Farrell is also implicated
in the plot. KallbOrn was accepted as a
witness. In the meantime the culprits
communicated with the police behind each
others back, each trying to secure him
self and to get the reward. Wolff pleaded
that he was victim of q conspiracy. The
prisoners were remanded until next week.

MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, Nov. 29.-There

novel reading striplings of the

The police force of the ward afflicted has
been doubled and the tower watch has
been instituted by the Chief of the Fire
Department. The Chief of Police yester-
day received letter threatening him with
assassination, and adding, 'sThe town will
be burned if work is not soon furnish

men are now idle. Mayor Stowell has
been besought Of late by innumerable ap-
plicants, but he puts no faith in threat

mouthings of some idiot. The local un-
derwriters have held several meetings,
and tonight offered reward of 5000 for
the capture and conviction of the incen-
diaries, and the Mayor has offered $3.50 in
behalf of the city. The residents of the
Fourth ward are in a state of tnrror.

Superstition in Switzerland
London Dailu Ne,cs.

An extraordinary instance of supersti-
tion is reported from the Swiss village Of
st. Fiden, in the canton of st. Gall. The
keeper of the cemetery remarked that one
particular tombstone was thrown to the
ground every night, though he put it back
in the perpendicular position every morn
ing. The inhabitants of the village, who
are very credulOus, believed that it must
be the work of "spir;ts,'' but the solution
of the mystery was, as may be imagined.
a natural one. 1t appears that three men
living in the village had formed an asso-
citation for the purpose of ''raising' mon
ey after recipe which they had discov-
cred in work cd sOrcery by Albertus
Magnus. They believed that by throw
ing down tombstone at midnight sew
eral times in succession, depositing under
it 81 5-franc pieces, and reciting GER
tain incantations, the 80 pieces would be
converted into 100000 francs. After
hiding the money they retired to a hut
away from the village, and remained
there for a week without clothes,
eating nothing but bread and
drinking nothing but water. This
they thought would prOpitiate ''the
spirit Hisis." Two of the three men were
discovered in this hut in state of semi
starvation, but the third, being of more
practical turn, finding that the miracu-
lous multiplication was not effected,
quietly took up the 80 pieces of silver and
disappeared with them. His two COM
paniOns still believe that the miracle will
take place if they continue their incanta-
tiOn,

JAPANESE funerals are alway con-
Quoted at sunset, in accordance with a
superstition that is rather beautiful than
otherwise. The procession is headed by
priests and company of musicians, who
play upon samisens and beat tom-toms.
The coffin is wooden tub in which the de-
ceased is squatting as he has lived, with his
feet tucked under him. There is this diff
ference. however: The face of the dead
man is looking toward the North, whereas
this position is religiOusly avoided by the
living Japanese. Indeed, the points Of
the compass are frequently marked on the
ceilings of sleeping rooms, that the sleeper
may arrange his mats so as to avoid this
unfavorable position. The wealthy class
are buried in earthen jars instead Of
wooden tubs, but the mode of arrangement
is the same.
