City Gas Light and Heating Company took fire
last night, and the flames threatened the de-
struction of the entire works, which were re-
Gently built at a cost of over 800, 900. The fire
was extinguished however, with Sc, 900 damage.
On account Of the fire, an unforeseen accident
came near resulting fatally. Mr.. and Mrs. j.
H. Sprague were out visiting, and had left
their fourteen year-old sen at home At 8
o'clock he retired leaving the gas burning for
his parents When the gas-works took fire, the
flow of gas was suspended, consequently the
light in the residence was extinguished, and
after the fire, when the flow was continued the
gas was permitted to escape, and when the
parents returned they found the house filed
with gas and the boy suffoeated to unconscious
ness. By hard work he was revived.

Gordon from a New Point of view.

General Loring, formerly in Ismails Army.
l am afraid that the English are expecting too
much from Gordon. He is very brave man,
but he is poor administrator, and his failure
in the government of the Soudan was conspic-
uous. He does not know how to handle Arabs
or blacks When he first came to Khartoum the
Soudan was out of debt, was paying a revenue
of half million dollars besides possessing a
lucrative trade that enriched Egypt to the
amount of several millions annually, and was
in fair way to become covered with plantations
of coffee, sugar, and rice General Stone brought
out these facts in his lecture very we'll
After two years and a half of the ad-
ministration of Gordon the Soudan was
$500, 900 in debt produced no revenue, and
had lost its trade through the disorders which
were rife in every province. Gordon is thorough
ly hated at Khartoum, and has no more influence
over the sheiks of the Soudan than the boot
black outside the Astor House The best man I
know of in that disturbed region is an American
officer, named Mason, who is Governor at Masso-
wah under the Khedive, and who will hold it for
him against FL Mahdi King John, of Abyssinia,
or anybody else / regard Valentine Baker as a
capable officer, but he has no army that he can
depend upon l should not be surprised If Mas
sowah should become the rallying point of the
English attempts to rescue the remnants
of the Khedives forces. The popu-

doubt them and | think more have been saved
