A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Six Persons Burned to Death as Result of q
Drunken Debauch.

KINGSTON, Ont. May 20.-The residence of
George Peters, at Sharbol Lake. was burned at
an early hour this morning. Peters, his
daughter of eight years, young woman named
Bridger and three others were burned to death.
1t appears that the horror was the result of
spree. Peters was laborer on the Ontario &
Quebec railway, and with him and his family
resided five of his associates, Last night was
spent in dissipation, which continued until late
hour. About l o'clock Peters picked up lamp
and started up stairs, and when near
the top the lamp fell from his hand,
and in an instant the stairway was in
blaze. The flames spread rapidly, and before
the family, most of whom were in the upper fat,
we're aroused, their escape was apparently iInpos
sble. However, Mrs. Peters, followed by two
Of her daughters rushed through the flames.
and succeeded IN getting out safely, did also
John Peters, a son, and two; of the boarders who
slept on the first floor. Maggie Peters, aged
twenty noticed that her little sister was still in
the burning building and made desperate at
tempt to rescue her, but she was overcome by
the smoke and was taken out insensible Her
injuries, it is feared, are fatal Miss Bridger
was an invalid, and was unable to escape when
the alarm was given 1t is supposed that Peters
ard the three other boarders were so drunk shat
they did not know their peril until too late.

BRNJAMIN'S BENEFACTOR.
Renaissance Of a Money Transaction Be
tween the Dead Lawyer and an 0hioan.

DAYTON, o., May 20.-Twenty years ago
when Judah P Benjamin had lost everything
in the war, and bankrupt was leaving the then
conquered rebel States to seek his fortune in
England, personal friend of his, who was then
living in Mississippi, Mr. Reynolds, who for the
past fifteen years has been a citizen of Huffman
Hill, the most beautiful of Dayton's suburbs
and who then, as now, wealthy man,
offered to and did loan his distressed friend, Mr.
Benjamin, $20O, 900 in money, without taking
from him the scratch of pen or the slightest
security of any kind, having been prompted
solely by his kindness of heart for needy friend
who had lost his property in the cause he was
supporting. Mr.. Reynolds knew that if his
friend ever became able he would pay back the
loan. and if not, the money would afford the
relief that be desired to give.
1t was a noble act the doing Of which has not
until now been told to the world, but none the
less credit will be given to Mr. Reynolds for it
. now. He is one of the wealthest of Dayton's
people, and has probably more money at his
command than any other man here He is en-
gagged in banking and is largely interested in
insurance companies and other extensive enter
prises here and in other cities. 1t is not known
certainly whether Mr.. Benjamin repaid Mr..
Reynolds the debt of $200 000 but it is altogether
probable, as the money had enabled him to at
once locate himself favorably in London and
with a basis for the repair of his own fortune,
which made him business, from which in the
latter years of his life he received $500, 600
income per annum. 1t is equally as certain,
however, that Mr.. REYNOLDS never brOaehed the
subject to him or ever gave much thought to
been able TO help his friend in the hour of dis

THE SHIPPING BILL.

pointed-Belief that the Bill Will Pass.
Special to the Indiana polls Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The House o-day
non -concurred in the Senate amendments to the
shipping bill, but acceeded to request for a
conference committee. 1t was believed that a
point of order would have been raised against the
bill which, if sustained, would have defeated its
consideration during the present session 1t
became generally understood, however, that if
the point was made it would by overruled by the
Speaker and the bill was therefore allowed
to come up without objection Ex-Governor
Dingley, of Maine, the author of the bill, says
that the critical period has now been passed,
and that bill of some sort will certainly be
passed at this session. He thinks all the essen
tial features of the original bill will be retained,
and that many. if not all, of the Senate amend
ments will be finally agreed to. This bill, it is
expected, will be of great benefit to American
ship-owning interests, and, in spite of the fact
that the free ships clause is stricken out it will
undoubtedly be material step toward restoring
the American merchant marine.

Churchill strongly disagreed with the amend
ment of Broderick, Conservative to exclude
Ireland from the operations of the bill This
announcement was greeted with cheers by the
Liberals Lord Randolph said that although
he objected to the bill strongly on account of
some Of its provisions, he thought the position
taken by the government statesmanke. He
had no fear of the result Of enfranehising the
Irish agricultural labOrers, and expressed the
hope that the Conservatives would not ALLEVIATE
the good opinion of the Irish by supporting
Brode ericks amendment
Lord George Hamilton asked Churchill what
he was really driving at If, he said. this was
statement of the Democratic Toryism Of the fu-
ture, then he declined to follow under such lead
ership. He contended that the bin was intro
duced to suit the eXgencies of the Liberals. Its
application to ireland would result in reopening
the flood gates of agitation.

polled beef and milch cows, is dead He was
one of of the most successful cattle rasers in the
