CINCINNATI, Feb. 15.-At $40 this
morning a fire alarm sounded from
the box at Ludlow and Pearl streets,
where water surrounds the houses.
When the engines reached the place,
it was discovered that the real part
of two brick buildings on the south
side of Pearl, near Ludlow, had fallen
and that ten persons were buried in
the ruins Or drowned. The iremen,
in communion with the police, used
superhuman Efforts to rescue the
living and the dead. The buildings
were occupied as boarding houses
and had twenty to thirty occupants.
The living were soon brought out.
Four members of a family named
Burke, MI. and Mrs. Coulks, Maud
Ellis, Lidia Ellis, Willie Kyle and
another, name not known, were sup
posed to be crushed or drowned.
Mrs. Webb, an occupant Of a room in
the part that fell, was awakened by
the cracking Of the walls and tried
to awaken the others, but fell with
the rains, and yet escaped without
injury.

Fhe Alice Report.

Through the courtesy Of Superin-
tendent w. E. Hall we are enabled
to furnish the readers Of the MINER,
in advance of any other publication
In Montana, the able, comprehensive
and exhaustive report of the Alice
company. To the stockholders, as
well as to the citizens of Butte. one of
the most gratifying features of the re
port il the fact that there is enough
paying ore in sight to keep the inn
mense works IN active operation for
two years to come, without rum
ming another foot Of devel-
opment. Mr.. Halls report
also shows that the several
mining properties Of the company
are now in excellent shape for con-
tinuous and profitable working.
Like a good General, Superintendent
Hall has held q large reserve of ore
in hand while making his approaches
to other bodies. The able report
OF Professor Clayton Is unavoidably
crowded out of this issue. The Pro-
lessor treats of the geographical situ-
alton of the mine; special features of
the vein structure; an d its geological
formation. Much of the subject mat
ter of his report has already been
published In the columns Of the
MINER.

Walk IL you cant ride. That's the
way we do in this wild, free and un-
fettered West. You probably need q
few lessons in ethics. Our buffalo
hunters are a generous people and
they will willingly teach You. But
their curriculum will probably disap-
point you. They don't believe roller
skating is a crime. They chase the
fle ling buffalo over fence and field,
and mountain and vale, and through
alleys and streets on rollers. Every
body skates. The toddling
infant. the little miss IN
short clothes, the lads and the
~lasses, the middle-aged, the gray
haired patriarch, the married, the
single, in fact none are denied or their
privilege abridged on account of age,
social position, race, color or previous
condition of serYitude. This lets in
the ministers and they should skate

You are mistake en-, dear Journal.
The buffalo hunters are not opposed
to ministers skating. They don't be-
lieve it'sa crime for one or all Of them
to skate. If there Is one In our lib
e%rty-loving Territory who thinks 1t
is you may rest assured, dear Jour-
nal, he is one who thinks it a sin to
laugh; who believes Christ might
have improved his conduct by keep
ing aloof from sinners; who wears a
face q yard or less long; who will
stand a heap Of watching in q horse
trade; who drinks strong tea and
loves scandal; who backbites his
neighbors and then meets them with
a sickly grin; who prays to God Sun
days and worships Mammon the
other six days In q week, and who
starves his body and .pinches his
soul that he may hoard filthy lu-
cre."
If there Is one Of this kind out

The Different Eras.

Era Of Zyre.-The era of Tyre is
reckoned from the 18th of October, or
the beginning OF the Macedonian
month Hypericeretarius, in the year
l26, B. G.
Era of Aler 7nder.-Some of the
Greek historians have assumed rs a
chronological epoch the death of
Alexander the Great, which took
place in the year 3325, B. G..
Julian Hra.-The Julian era COM
mences with the LIST of January, As
years B. c. 1t is designed to COM
memorate the reformation Of the
Roman Calendar by Julius Cesar.
G1sdre0n of Antioch.-This era was
established to commemorate the
victory Of Julius Caesar IN the plains
Of Pharsalia, on the 9th of August, III
the year Al, B. c., and the 18th of
Rene.
Julian Peri0d.-Alth0ugh the
Julian Period the invention of
joseph Scaliger, in 1922 is not pro-
perly speaking, y chronological era,
yet, on account Of affording consid-
cradle facilities in the comparison of
different eras with one another, and
in marking with ambiguity the
years before Christ, it is generally
employed by chronologers. 1t con-
sists Of 1880 Julian years; and the
first year of the Christian era CORES
ponds with the year of ala Of the
Julian Period.
The Christian Eyu.-The Christian
or vulgar era, called also the era Of
the Incarnation, is now almost uni
versally employed in Christian
countries, and is even employed by
some eastern nations. Its epoch or
commencement is the first OF January
in the 4th year of the l94th Olmypiad
the 753d from the foundation of Rome
and the Allah of the Julian Period.
1t is usually supposed to begin with
the year of the birth Of Chsist. but
there are various opinions in regard
to the year in which that event took
place. In the Christian era the years
are distinguished by the cardinal
numbers; those before Christ being
marked Il. G. before Christi, or A.
G. (ante Christuml, and those after
Christ A. D. Ammo Dominil.
yeWish Year and E,us.-BetOre the
departure Of the Isralites from.
Egypt their year commenced ut the
autumnal equinox; but in order to
selemnize the memory Of their deliv-
erance, the month of Nisau or Abb,
in which the event took place, and
which falls about the time of the
vernal equinox, was afterwards re-
garded as the beginning Of the eccle:
siastical or legal year. In civil affairs,
and the regulations of the jubilees or
sabbatical years, the Jews still adhere
10 the ancient year, which begins
with the month Tisri, about the
month of the autumnal equinox.
Till the thirteenth century the Jews
usually followed the era Of the Salu-
eide or of Contracts. Since that time
they have generally employed our
mundane era, and dated from the
foundation OF the world, which, &C.
cording to their computation, took
place about 1850 years and three
months before the commencement
of the Christian era.
