EXTENSIVE CONFEDERATION.
Toronto, Ontario, Burning, and Great
Damage Already Reported.
The Fire Department Helpless--Loss
So Far Over a Million.

TORONTO, Aug. 3.-0ne of the most
destructive fires that has.ever taken place in
Toronto commenced about 1890 this morn
ng in the large brick building erected by
the Toronto Sugar Refinery company
was blowing from the east and
carried chunks of burning timber along
the eSplanade, igniting wooden buildings
as far west as five or six blocks. In short
time nothing was left of the sugar refinery
but the bare walls and smoke stack. The
buildings of SOulter. Evans, Heake, Gun
sell and Ibboton. all boat builders; Ried &
Co. and Welsh & Co., lumber mer-
chants; Currie, Martin S Co., boiler
makers, and other buildings are
in flames, and unless the wind changes the
whole south side of the esplanade will
have to succumb too. Sparks are landing
on the roofs of the large warehouses on
Front and Wellington streets and
fears are entertained that several
of them may take fire. The fire
brigade are and have been working man
fully, but their efforts seem powerless.
The streets are lined with thousands of
people. The loss will be enormous Three
schooners are burned TO the waters edge.
The fire is now half mile in length.
2:45 a. m.-The worl. of destruction on
the esplanade still goes on, the flames hav-
ing reached the foot of Yonge street, and
all the intervening buildings and wharves
having been burnt to the ground.
The Great Western freight Sheds
formerly the passenger station on the
north side of the esplanade, is in imminent
danger, and expected to be in flames every
moment. The steamer Chicora is getting
up steam to go out into the lake. The
steamer Ontario got up steam and began to
tow out the steamer Mazeppa, but a
schooner blocked the way, and they could
not get out. The MaZeppa has caught fire,
and all three will have to succumb to
the flames, unless the wind changes.
The whole south side of the eSplanade as far
as Union station, will undoubtedly perish,
and showers of sparks are being carried to
the opposite side of the street, and if the
| buildings there catch fire there is no saying
what immense damage may be done. The
| fire brigade is absolutely powerless. IL is
feared that Watchman Worth of the sugar
refinery factory has lost his life, as he ha;
not been seen since the fire
started. William McCollum, a sea-
man of the schooner Annie Mulvey. i,

"Reminiscences of Grant.

Special to the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 2.-The ''gossiper'
of the Sunday Capital says: one of the
men whose "reminiscences of Gen. Grant
have found their way into the paper is my
venerable friend, Nicholas Collan, the no.
tary, who has know every president since
Madison'S time. He was the White house
notary while Gen. Grant was president, and
saw that great leader in all moods.
His most interesting story is of visit
which he paid to the White house on the
last day of Gen. Grants term, March 4.
1877. 1t was in the afternoon and 1t ap-
pears that the first thing that Grant did,
after he became aprivate citizen once again.
was to send for his friend. the notary, and
execute a bond in behalf Of his brother-ln-
law, Mr.. Sharp, who had been appointed a
paymaster in the army. After the business
had been done Mr.. Collan was about to take
his leave and, thinking TO make pleasant
remark to Gen. Grant, said:
Il am very sorry, sir. to have to think
that this is the last day that l shall have
the pleasure of greeting you as president in
the White house." Like flash came the
response:
Don't you be too sure of that" Mr..
Collan also tells the interesting fact that
Grant was fond of inquiring of him in de-
tail about Andrew Jackson. and seemed to
be greatly interested in him and his person
ally and could not hear enough about him.
Collan knew Jackson very well and was
able to give Grant much minute informa-
ton concerning that great man.

Mr.. Stone will be rowed on the Sth inst.
All the foolish talk about DR.. Schiffmann's
fearing to meet Mr.. Stone, and his desiring
to back out of the proposed race, is very
silly. The intention to avoid the race
never entered DIR. Schitfmann's head. He
has the misfortune to be compelled to cain
living at his profession, and he therefore
has not the time to devote to the business of
putting himself in condition to row such a
race as this one, against man that is ac-
knOwledged to be good oarsman. For
these reasons he desired few days more
time in which to prepare himself. Out of
this desire for an extension of time has
grown the foolish report that he sought to
avoid the race out of fear of meeting Mr..
Stone This is an injustice to DR.. Schiff-
manu. He may not win the race, and Mr..
Stones friends are firm in the conviction
that he will not. Whether he wins or loses
is not of very great consequence. He de-
sireS to be in as good condition as possible
to the end that there may be good race.
This desire on his part seems TO be rea-
sonable one and ought not to subject him
to such unjust suspicious.

Heavy Loss TO CattIemen.

Special to the Globe.
WICHITA. Kan, Aug. 2.-The presi-
dents order for the removal of cattlemen
and their herds from the Cheyenne and
ATapahOe reservation of Indian Territory is
causing great dissatisfaction, even alarm,
among the cattlemen here. Many of the
heavy cattlemen with ranches i'm the Chero-
kee strip and on the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe reservation reside here, and any re-
moval of cattle at this time would cause
great Inconvenience and great pecuniary
loss. The pasture of Tuttle IL Co., in In
dian Territory, comprises an area Of twenty
miles square. The immense pasture is um-
der barbed-wire fence, with good cedar
posts, and has valuable Improvements. Its
proprietors have spent large amounts OF
money in making it what tits. and the ranch
is but sample of many others in Indian
Territory, in the Cherokee strip and on the
reservations named in the presidents order.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 2.-Abraham
Goldberg and Miss Annette Mackubadsky
We're to have been married at noon yeSter-
day ut the residence of the brides parents,
No. 119 East Jefferson street. IL was ar
ranged that the groom would drive to the
house in carriage and there meet his af-
fianced. At the agreed time the bride was
decked in her bridal attire and the preacher
was in waiting. The bridesmaids and
groomsmen were also in attendance, but the
clock struck u and still the groom had not
put in an appearance. The time wore
away into the afternoon and yet no sign of
Goldberg. The bride grew restless, and
two of her friends who were in attendance
volunteered to go out and hunt up the laggard
lover. They started out to explore the
cause of the delay, and turned into First
street. They had gone but short distance
when a carriage wheeled down the street
with a solitary male occupant. They
recognized him as the groom and pursued.
A head was thrust through one of the
windows of the vehicle and a word was
spoken to the driver. Immediately the
horses increased their speed. 1t was evi
dent that the vehicle was bound for the
Short Line depot, and a race between the
carriage and the footmen was made for this
objective point. The carriage landed an
easy winner, and the groomsmen came up
lust in time to see the Cincinnati train
crossing First street. with Goldberg as one
of the occupants. The groom has not been
seen or heard of since. His fight was Te-
ported to the bride, who was proStrated
with grief. and has continued very Ill ever
since.

BALTIMORE, Md, Aug. 2.-When the
news was wired to Frostburg, in the Cum
berland mining region. that Gen. Grant was
dead. Conrad Hartman, merchant, draped
a large American flag in mourning III
honor OF the dead hero. and suspended the
fIag from a rope which was tied to the top
of two telegraph poles on each side of
Main street in front of his store. After the
flag was up some days a siX-hOrse team
came along and one OF the horses became
frightened at the flag, but no damage was
done. The owner OF the horses complained
to the mayor about the flag, where
upon the baiiitf was instructed to notify
Mr. Hartman that he must remove the hag
Mr. Hartman refused to do so, saying he
had been accustomed to hanging that nag
across the street for the last five years and
no complaints were made until TINS uIle
md said he would not remove that flag for
the mayor. council or any authority Of the
state. and that he would let it hang there
until after the burial of Grant, daring any
one to fake If down. He would defend that
flag in that position if it cost him his life.
The bailiff went away and in a short time
returned with a warrant for Mr. Hartman.
A hearing was given, the city attorney OF
Frostburg appearing for the corporation
and State Senator Brace Of this city for
THE PRISONER.
In his argument Senator Brace, after re-
viewing the evidence, said: Il think that
when whole nation is mourning the loss
of her greatest son it would have been
prudent for the town authorities to overlook
this matter. even if it had been violation
of town ordinance. In time like this a
mans patriotism often makes him do inno-
cent things which may be contrary to law
which should be excused. More than this,
l will venture to say that all over this broad
land another case of this kind will not be
found on record, and | know full well
at this moment there are thousands of flags

against Hartman and fined him 50 and
