King AlfOnsO's Health A Belief that His
Lease of Life Win BE Short.

LONDON, Oct 31.-King Alfonso RECEIVERS his
health very slowly, and his illness continues TO
inspire popular dynastic uneasiness. An emf
nent physician informed your correspondent
that King Alfonso was the son Of herpetic
woman; that the King himself was of scrofu-
lous constitution, and had already suffered there
from, his Majesty neck being badly Scared
from the disease. Such constitutions incline to
consumption if the person afflicted commit ex-
cesses, as King Alfonso has done since he was in
his teens. King Alfonso has all the outward ap-
pearance of sufferer from tuberculosis His
personal doctors are alone capable of deciding
whether the appearance is deceptive. Very few
Spaniards believe that King Alfonso will be long
lived. The hopes of the Carlists and Republicans
are largely based on his Majesty's death occur
ing before he reaches the age of thirty years. He
will be twenty-eight years Old on the 28th of
November.

THE LABRADOR STORM,
The Story of Loss of Life and Damage to
Property Told by Signal-Seryice Man.

HALIFAX. N. S., Oct. 31.-R I. Stupart, the
Hudson bay observer who, with three assistants,
abandoned his station at Stupart's bay the day
before the steamer Alert reached there, arrived
in Halifax this evening on the steamer Miranda
from St Johns. N. F. Stupart gives an inter
esting account of the experiences he and his
three companions met with after leaving their
post. The men with him were j. w. Mcdaniel
and J. w. Chaplain, of ST. Marys, N. S., and
Harry Bennett, of ST. Johns N F. Each OBJ
serving station in the strait was furnished with
eighteen months provisions for three men, and
Stupart received nothing additional for the
fourth man in his party. The consequence was
that by Aug. 20 they found them
selves with a very small quantity of supplies
left, and the counsry around affording
no means to support white men, they were COM
PEELED to make move for other quarters. The
Eskimos were suffering for food because of the
failure of the fisheries, and he gave them what
he could spare On Aug 81 all four left their
post in an open sail-boat, taking with them
twenty five pounds of meat and barrel and a
half of biscuit, and started for Ungava bay
After voyage of thirteen days, made under the
most dangerous and uncomfortable crcum-
stances the little party reached their destina-
tion. At Fort Climo they boarded the steamer
Labrador, for Rigolet, which they reached on
Sept. 2s. Thence they went one days journey
in a sail boat to Indian Harbor On Oct. % the
steamer Hercules took them to Grady and they
came thence to Harbor Grace, N. f.. on the
steamer Vanguard, arriving last Tuesday. Stu
part reports that on his arrival at Indian Harbor
he found that an immense amount of damage
had been done there. and in neighboring places
on the coast, by the terrible storm of the
10th instant. The gale was a terrific one from
the northwest accompanied by snow.
When the steamer Hercules arrived at
Indian Harbor she had on board 300 men. women
and children picked up at fishing settlements
along her course and when Stupart and his
three men arrived at Grady they found 600 more
people on board the steamer Vanguard AL

erations SO long as they publish no newspaper
articles tending to lead to breach
of the peace, SO long as they do
not attack any English institution,
and SO long AS they keep within the strict letter

carry on their work are similar to those so euc-
cessfully used by the famous Carbonar 1t is
estimated that there are more than three mill
ions of German Socialists. This proposed change
of base to London causes much more anxiety in
the Wihelmstrasse than the Chancellor and

Won HatZfeldt has made special studies in So

has made him perfect master of all Socialistic
methods of thought and action.

fighting against this new campaign of the Social

of about twenty buildings. was destroyed, and
many other villages suffered from the disaster.
Every vessel that was at all close to the coast
was dashed ashore, and, though many of them
were afterward foated in damaged condition,
there were about seventy that were totally de-
stroyed. The storm extended the whole

forty three, and he is inclined to believe that
that figure is reliable. He thinks that, in any

occurred at White Bear island, where, though
there were only four or FIVE vessels wrecked,
nearly all on board of them, forty-6ve persons
in number, met their fate.

nearly opposite the Doxey House. The front
building was Of brick and attached to it, in the
rear, is frame. 1t was in the NOW Of the rear
building that the flames originated. The fire
was under good headway when discovered and
so rapidly did the flames proceed that it was i'm
possible to remove anything from the barn, ex
cepting two horscs Sixteen horses were burned;
also seventeen bugges and carriages, two
hearses thirty sets of single harness, seven
sets of single harness, five saddles eight tons
of hay 600 bushels of oats, and about
v 5000 worth Of robes, blankets halters, etc. The
hearses belonged to Markt g. Raber, undertakers,
and one of them was recently purchased at cost
of 81, 500; the other was probably worth 5000.
They were not insured. Of the sixteen horses
burned fourteen belonged to Hunt s. Pence, one
belonged to the United States Express Company,
and the other was family horse belonging to
Mrs. Theodore Zion. There was quartered in
the stable at the time, and burned the magnifi-
cent black Clydesdale stallion, Clyde, valued at

he, too, fell victim to the flames. Viceroy was
one of the best known horses among turfmen in
Indiana Although but twelve years of age he

promising horses on the track. His owners,
Messrs Hunt s. Pence, have refused $4,000 for
him.
The origin of the fire is unknown Every
thing was quiet and seemingly secure about the
barn at midnight, and an hour later the entire
building was enveloped in flames. 1t may have
been the work of an incendiary, or was possibly
set on fire accidentally by some one who climbed
into the NOW to sleep. The carcassess of the
dead horses were piled in heap to day and
burned to ashes.

lence mourned by the wise;
Thousands of voices drowning his own in popular

doubts that darken the schools

up by her vassal legion of fools.
Stately purposes. vaor in battle glorious annals of

Death for the right cause death for the wrong

Innocence seethed in her mothers milk and charity

Thralldom who walks with the banner of freedom and
recks not to ruin a realm in her name.
What it all if we all of us end but in being our own

Swallowed in vasness lost in silence drowned in the

Down in the Yazoo country, where
live, when we grow tired of bear-hunt-
ing we get up hanging party just for
a change. You see, we locate some fell
low who has stolen hog, and on a
moonlight night we send out invitations
to the neighbors, and request them to
join us in a hanging party. They al
ways accept and come well mounted,
and we 60 to the spot where the game is
hived and string him up. 1 recollect
last fall, when the boys got tired of deer
driving and duck-hunting, that we got
up a little impromptu affair one night in
honor of Texan man who was on
visit to some of his relations, and before
daylight we freed four of the meanest
men the Yazoo swamp had ever seen.
Pay me visit some time and I'll intro
duce you to the boys and take you out
with us some night. Come down this
fall, if you can, for we have at least ten
men spotted, and we'll have five or six
nights rare sport. "-NeD Orleans Pa
