DUNSNUIR'S LUCK.
An Upreoted Tree on vancou~er's Island
Points the Road 20 Fortune.

Victoria, the seat Of government Of
British Colombia, is the most thorough
" English town this side of England.
1t reminds one much of Leeds or Hull.
Everything is conducted quietly. Bust
ness-men leisurely get down town at 9
OF 10 o'clock in the morning, and
promptly close their stores at 5 o'clock
in the evening. On Saturdays stores
close at noon, all attaches being allowed
half-holiday. They then gather at Bea-
con Hill, magnificent natural park
overlooking the Straits of Fuca and the
snow-crcsted Olympic mountains of
Washington Territory, and participate
in all sorts of games and athletic sports.
They are joined by their friends, ladies
included, and often half the population
Of the town turns out. One of the
most energetic citizens of Victoria, who
has done more for the province than per-
haps any other man in it, is Mr.. Robert
Dunsmuir, NJ. p. The story of his life
is romance. For many years he
mined in the colleries of Nanaimo, toll
ing as day-laborer. One gloomy day,
walking pensiyely in the woods contem-
plating his hard lot, and wondering how
he was to educate his many children.
his eye caught sight of the roots of
giant fir, torn from its place by mid
night storm. The rain had washed
the roots, and clinging to some of the
soil, he saw clumps Of black shalc.
His practiced eye detected coal. He
hastily marked the spot. and that
very day he secured all the land in
The neighborhood for a triae, and
began work. He unearthed the great
North Wellington and South yelling
ton beds, whose output this year
amounted to PSI, S46 tons, valued at
si,008, 344. Mr.. Dunsmuir and Gene
raj Charles Croker, Of the Southern
Pacific railway, have been awarded a
grant Of 10000 acres to build what is
known as the Island railway, line sew
enty miles long, reaching from Ma
naimo TO Victoria.

Hall is spanned by four girders, each
thirty-one feet long. This hall is used
for the storage Of the theatre scenery.
The stage-carpenter was in there at 9:4o
o'clock, when the second girder broke
over his head. He Immediately ran q
prop under it, and as he did so 1t broke
again in another place, and the first and
third girders also broke. Mr.. Bur-
rows, who is an architect. and who ex-
amined the broken Orders after the
crowd got out, said that if the carpen-
ter Mad not been on hand with the prop
nothing could have prevented the pre-
cipitation Of fully half the lodge-room
gathering to the floor Of Montefiore Hall,
forty feet below.

THE FLOOR SETTLES.
A Brief Panic at the InstaiIati ton of th on
GERS Of Myrtle Lodge.
New York Times

l-NtN lOAh
The presence of mind of few officers
Of Myrtle Lodge, Of the Ancient Legion
Of Honor, and of the stage-carpenter of
the Mount Morris Theatre, probably pre-
vented heavy loss Of life in Harlem last
night. 1t was gala night at the lodge.
Preparations had been on foot for it for
several weeks. Officers were to be in
stalled, after which the members were to
present to the outgoing commander gold
watch, and the exercises were to be pro-
longed socially as long as members and
their families chose TO remain. While
the lodge-meeting was in progress the
ladies and other guests gathered in the
outer reception-room, which overfiowed
early in the evening. BY O'Clock the
halls and stairways leading to the lodge
rooms on the second floor of the Mount
Morris Theatre building, at Third ave-
nue. and Northumberland hirtieth
street, were packed with people, as well
as the approaches to the entrance, on
One Hundred and Thirtieth street.
About $50 members attended the lodge
meeting, which adjourned at $3.50
o'clock. Then the doors were thrown
open and the guests rushed in.
The hall is IS feet long by 80 feet in
width. Chairs and settees had been
crowded into it for the entertainment.
They were filled as fast as an eager,
jostling crowd could get into them.
They held about 600 people, and the
space back of them to the end Of the hall
was thronged with at least 200 more.
The gathering had just settled itself to
witness the presentation of the watch
to the retiring commander when the
noise Of breaking timbers and the af-
frighted cries Of women started the Pre-
sentation Committee, who were march
ing 10 the commanders desk. Suddenly
the centre Of the flooriag dropped fully
foot, and in an instant the floor, from
few feet in front of the desk to about
an equal distance from the entrance. a
length Of 60 feet and % feet wide, fol-
lowed the first break to depths varying
frori 6 few inches to q foot or more. 1t
all happened within few seconds.
In une centre Of the hall, where the
fall had been greatest, women were
screaming and struggling, and men were
rushing against the dense mass of peo-
pie in futile efforts to escape. NJ. d.
Hamilton, the retiring commander,
mounted his desk and begged for order,
assuring the crowd that there would be
no danger If they If they could control

Barn and Mules surned-The Davis Murder.
Trial,

Barn and Mules Burned-The Davis Murder
Trial.
Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch. ]
JANUARY Is, 1885.
The barn of j. X. Whitehorne, in
Brunswick county, was destroyed by
fire on Sunday night last. 1t is said
that two mules persisted and about
1900 or 1900 pounds Of provender
was burned. There was an insurance
of about 5000 on the property.
The Hastings Court began its quar-
terly term this morning at III o'clock.
The large room was densely crowded
with spectators assembled to witness
the proceedings. The grand jury found
true bills for felony against John Mat
thews, Bell Perkins, Robert Richard
son, Carey Moss, Robert Fisher, and
Eugene NJ. Glenn, and against several
parties for misdemeanor. The case Of
Eugene NJ. Glenn, charged with the
murder Of c. w. Holland, has been
set for trial tomorrow. He will be
prosecuted by the Commonwealth at
torney and Samuel NJ. Page, Esq, Of
Richmond, who to-day qualified for
practice in our court; and will be de-
Tended by W. j. Mcllwaine and w. Il.
McKenney, Esqs. The petit jurors
were discharged unit! next Wednesday,
as the felony cases will consume all Of
tie intervening time.
The trial Of Thomas j. Davis, in
dictcd for killing John Ditmar on the
evening Of the 18th of May last, took
place to-day. Ditmar was killed in
stantly, and Davis has never fully re-
covered from the injuries he received in
the encounter with the deceased. Gor
some months it was thought by his ply
sicians that these injuries would prove
fatal. In the first trial of the case the
jury failed to agree on verdict.
The jury rendered verdict Of invol-
untary manslaughtcr, and fixed his
punishment at one minute in Jail and
Is fine.
Rev. j. W. Rosebro, the new pastor
of the Tabb-Street Presbyterian church,
arrived last evening with his family, and
at once occupies the manse adjoining
the church, which has been fitted up
for his use.
Sixty-nine deeds were admitted to re-
cord in the clerks Office during the
month ending to-day, which fact shows
that the transferring Of property has
recently been quite brisk.
