stopped and refused TO 20 further. Mat
thews then hired a mule OF farmer.
There was no saddle in the stable. and
the young BRIDEGROOM was compelled 10
20 bareback. When he finally arrived at

just struck 8, and the entire party was in
CONSERVATION as he rode up TO the door

A Great Mill Burned.

BAY CRY, Mich, Dec. 3-At II
O'Clock last night fire broke out in
the cupalo of the fire room of the
McGraw saw-mill, owned by Bird
sale & Barker. The wind was blow
ing lightly from the west and car
ried the flames to the main building,
which soon became mass of seeth-
ing flames. The firemen saw that
the mill must be consumed, and di-
rected their attention to keeping the
fire from spreading. and by strenu-
Gus efforts confined the confiagra-
ton to the mill proper and the ad-
joining tramways. At l o'clock the
mil! was in ruins.
1t was located at the extreme
south end of the city, and was the
largest on the Saginaw River. At
the time of its erection in 1873 it
was the largest concern of the kind
in the world. 1t had an annual Ca
pacity of 100000 feet of lumber,
besides lath. slaves, headings, and
shingles. Mr.. Birdsale places the
loss at $4,000, on which there is
an insurance of 100000, distribut-
ed in various companies. 1t en-
ployed $50 men. 1t is not known
whether it will be rebuilt.

Mangled by the Cars.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Dec. IA col.
lision between two freight trains on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, a
mile east of this place, occurred this
afternoon. John Rider, conductor
of one Of the trains and resident
OF this place, was instantly killed
by being caught between the engine
and tender. His head was mashed
to a jelly and both legs were cut off.
He leaves a wife and three little
children. Frank Snyder, an unmar-
ried man, residing at Piedmont, w.
Va, was on one Of the engines. He
met his death by scaldlne. 10.
Reynolds, of Johnstown, Pa, had
both feet and legs horribly mangled
and 1t is feared he will not recover.
Charlie Cowan, Frank Dean, and
James Morris, were also badly hurt,
though none of their injuries will
prove fatal.
The operator here was supposed
at first to have been the cause of the
accident, but preliminary exami-
nation by some of the officers of the
road relieves him from blame. AS
matters now looE the fault will rest
upon the Pittsburg dispatcher, Mr..
Ellsworth. An inquest will be held
tomorrow evening, when thorough
investigation will be made.

ing in all directions and couriers are
being sent out to warn settlers. The

horribly rnangled. The Indians

Thirty Miles Of Flame.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 6.--During
the high winds Friday, a prairie
fire broke out seven miles north of
this place which swept over an area
of about thirty miles, destroying l.
600 stacks of hay and grain and
numbers of sheep, hogs and cattle
sheds 1t is not stated how far east
the fire extended. Further and
more definite reports of prairie fires
in Silver Lake township, this coun-
ty, on Friday, bring adviees of ter
rible loss to property but the amount
cannot be estimated. On Edwards
ranch $500 tons of hay were burned.
Johnson & Williams lost 500 tons
of hay, besides fences, sheds and
crops. Patrick McNeery was en-
tirely burned out, losing everything
but the clothing on his family. An
Edward county man was fatally
burned, and John Leeper and John
Berry were not expected to live. The
fire is supposed to have originated on
the Pottawatomie Indian reserve.
1t will be several days before the
full loss can be given,

How h,ng Theebaw surrendered.

LONDON, December THE fol-
lowing additional details of the sur
render of King Theebaw were re-
ceived here to-day: On Saturday
last General Prendergast, command
ing the British expeditionary force,
at the head of brigade of troops,
marched into Mandalay. Kin,
Theebaw at once received Colonel
Sladen, who accompanied the expe-
ditionary force as civil commission
er. at the palace with the usua! east
ern formulas. The king was much
affected and frightened. He said
he hoped the British would spare
his life; that he wished to abdicate,
and would remain in any house al
lotted to him by the British Gov
eminent. King Theebaw claimed
that his Ministers had deceived him
in regard to the situation of affairs
that he was ignorant of what was
occurring outside of Mandalay +; that
he was almost a prisoner in his pal
ace: that he feared assassins would
slay him if he left the palace, and he
would surrender to the British au-
thorities. Colonel Sladen advised
his Hajesty to plead with Lord Duff
ferin, the Viceroy OF India, at Cal
cutta. On Sunday King Theebaw
surrendered in the presence of the
Ministers and embarked for Calcut
ia under guard. The French Con.
sui accompanied his Majesty. Tht
Burmese appear to be well disposed
toward the British.
