GREAT FIRE IN TORONTO.
TORONTO, Aug. 2-One of the most
destructive fires that has eyer takon
place in Toronto commenced
about 1880 this morning in
the large brick building occupied by
the Toronto Sugar Refinery Co., ON the
Esplanade. A strong wind blowing
from the east carried chunks
OF burning timber along the
EsplGnade, ignitlng wooden buildings
as lar west as five or six blocks. In a
short time nothing was left of tho
sugar refinery but the baro walls and
smoke stack. The buildings of Saul
ter, Evans, Steaks, GunBellag Ib-
botson, all boat builders; Siren IL
Co. and Welsh IL Co., lumber mer.
chants; s. G. Martin e Co., boiler
makers, and other buildings are in
flames, and unless the wind changes
the whole south side OF the
Esplanado will have to sucoumb.
Sparks are flying and lodging on tho
roofs OF the large warehouses on Front
and Wellington streets, and fears are
entertained that several of them may
take fire. Tho fire brigade
are and havo boen working manfully,
but their efforts seem powerless. Tho
strOoLg are lined with thougauds of
people. The loss will be enormous.

MT. McGREGoR, August 2.-This has
been memorial day at the
Grant cottage, and the family
have been saying farewell to
the dead. This eiternoon the widow
asked that DR.. Newman should be
sent for. When he came Mrs. Grant
reminded the pastor that her dead
would be hers only little while long
or, and asked him to be with the fam.
lily while they gathered in the cottage
parlor to say their tarewells. Thus it
was that about 4 O'clock Mrs. Grant
and her daughter and each of her
three sons and their wives wore
in the room with tho dead
DIR. Newman and wife were also pres
ont. The family surrounded the cata-
falque, and Mrs. Grant, from table,
brought her dead husbands Bible,
which she opened and passed to DIR.
Newman. IL was found that the book
was opened at the llth chapter of Job.
The chapter was read. Then the
clergyman read the 10th
and the 10th verses, and
then prayer Of gratitude
was offered up-gratitudo for the beau
tiful character OF the silent one. After
this the entire family, alone with their
pastor, entered with him into a reli-
gious conversation, and then each and
ell dwelt upon r0miniscensos recalled
by the generals last sickness. DR..
Newman, after carefully scanning
the generals face, expressed satis-
faction at It's appearance and
the opinion that the remains
are In condition of perfect preserv a.

know of no town in Kansas, similarly
located, without any county seat pros

rather invest in, either for speculation
or home. The best business lots are
worth about $30O.-a few corner lots

mile from business, $3.50. for the most
desirable. Hazelton has never asked
the festive cowboy or the saloon ele-
ment 10 help make their town lively
and while it is model of orderIyncss
it is certainly not lacking in enter
prise. The railroad building right
through did not boom the town much,
but there seems to be steady growth
with good prospects for the future.
The place has an unusually large per
cent. Of both wealthy and cultured
people. Four weli-to-dO gentlemen
from New York and Pennsylvania are
here now purchasing property and
preparing TO move out next spring.
Crops in this section are good, and
many fine houses, in both town and

the people. l met numerous old

VERY TRUE.

This is not the first time that we
have seen in the copied articles from
the EAGLE, which go to show that the
western part of the state will hereaf
ter operate with the east in many
things which viii build up the state
Heretofore il has been the west which
has insisted upon railroad legislation
which, if adopted, would have been
suicidal TO the best interests of the
whole state. II has been the west
which has bowled loudest, longest and
incessantly about "monopoly," the
greed of the capitalists, etc, etc. The
legislation urged. would if it had been
adopted, prevented the building OF
roads in that part of the state. If the
west had had its way there would
have been no Wichita, no Kingman,
no Anthony, no Harper etc, and the
Newtons, Great Bends, McPhersons
and other towns which might be nam
ed, would have been but little ham
lets instead of the commercial ccnters
they now are Hereafter. if the
EAGLE is to be relied upon, the west
VIII stand by the east in resisting the
cry of The demagogues.-Co Common
wealth.
The Commonwealth has always
proved very sound when discussing
the railroad interests of Kansas, never
having shown any hesitancy in setting
down on demagogues, whether from
the east or west.

committed the act, to end his career
by drowning himself in his well.
