Destructive Fire al Pawiucket-LOss
eIl5,OOO.

PROVIDENCE. July l.
Pawtucket was visited this morning by the
most destructive fire for many years. The
flames were discovered at 80 in an unoccu-
pied building known as the "Old Arcade"
on the rear of East Avenue. The whole fire
department was called out. The flames
spread rapidly, and after destroying the
Arcade building the fire extended to the adj
joining buildings, until dozen were on fire
at once. The Dexter Yarn Company's mill,
office and storehouse, large wooden buildings,
caught fire. The mill was used in the man.
ufacture of knitting cotton. The buildings
were destroyed, but the books and papers
of the company and private papers of IL. II.
Thomas, president of the company, were
saved in the safe. The machinery was all
damaged and most of it worthless. The mill
was filled with finished yarn and but little of
value was saved. The loss is estimated at
Sl00, 600; insured for $50, 900 to 100000 in
foreign companies. Many other buildings
took fire, but were saved, only slightly in
jured. 1t is thought the fire was set by
tramps who have lodged in the old structure.
The entire loss is estimated at SIG, 900; gen.
orally insured. Twentv-six telephone wires
were ruined and the only way to communi
cate with the city authorities was by the way
of Boston. The fire burned several hours,
although it was under control at o'clock.

A NEW ROUTE.
The Grand Trunk Gets a shorter Line
Between Montreal and Chicago.

MONTREAL, June 30.
The general manager of the Grand Trunk
railroad returned tonight from New York,
after perfecting an arrangement with the
Wabash and Baltimore & Ohio roads, that
will give his road good deal shorter line 10
Chicago than via. the Michigan Central.
The through rate will be hereafter from Mon
treal by the Grand Trunk to Detroit. thence
by the Wabash to Auburn Junction, and from
the latter by the Baltimore ( Ohio to Chicago.
The contract was made for 20 years, and the
management is elated at the engagement
which will give the Grand Trunk great ad-
vantages over its rival. Through passenger
traffic from Chicago will be by the new line
and freight by the Grand Trunks own line.
The contract comes into operation the mo-
ment through trains are arranged. There
have been great hihrlrances and delays on
the western part of the line this week by
washouts. but they are at an end This
morning 50 passengers from Chicago for
Boston were left behind in Toronto, owing
to the train being late in coming in there
The time between there and Toronto is re-
duced to ten hours.

THE BICYCLE CONTEST.
Prince Wins the Five Mile International
Contest.

WASHINGTON, June 80.
The event of the day was the five mile bicy-
Gle race for the championship of the world
and purse of $4,000. J. S. Prince of Boston
represented America and II. w. bingham
represented England. Higham was given the
pole and took the lead, keeping it for three
quarters, when Prince passed him and kept
the lead for the next two-Quarters. Then
bingham took the lead and kept it till within
a half mile of the end of the race, when
Prince made splendid squirt, winning in Is
minutes and 47s seconds, with bingham only
one second behind 1t was very closely
contested race, the two men seldom being
more than 10 feet apart. At the finish the
enthusiasm of the crowd knew no bounds.
Several hundred men rushed across the
track. The victor was raised to their Shout
ders and carried to the judges stand, while
the crowd cheered themselves hoarse. The
championship is to be decided by three races
of 5, 10 and 90 miles. The next race will be
the last named, and will be run in Rochester
in about two weeks. The third race, If it is
necessary to decide the championship, will
probably be run here. Prince is considered
better in short race than long one.

found that the flames had extended to the

The smiths shop was frame structure. but
the machine shop was a substantial brick

Assisted Emigration.

The subjected of assisted emigration from
Ireland t. this country is still receiving the
attention of this government. In February
and MARCH, last our consuls in Ireland made
an investigation of this subject in connection
with that of the general condition of the poor
in that country, but no unanimity of opinion
was expressed TO the emigration commission.
A summary of Consul General Merritt's re-
port of this investigation was published May
Sth. During May the first shipment of any
considerable number of assisted emigrants
that reached this country landed at Boston
and the fact was promptly reported to the
treasury department by the customs officers
and brought to the notice of the State dept.
This was soon followed by others. At that
time and before, the circumstance has attract
ed general public notice. Minister Lowell
was informed of the arrival of these emf
grants, and appropriately instructed. As
vet, no report has reached the State depart
ment from Minister Lowell as to what steps
has been taken on the matter.
