BY the verdict in the case of A.
Fernandez vs. The Peoples Ice
Company, factory chimneys are
tabu wherever the smoke therefrom
is an annoyance or damage to the
occupants of dwellings,. 1t is even
already reported that suits are in
contemplation against some old es-
tablished smokers right in town.
The next thing in order will be for
the Government to designate where
manufacturing industries may smoke
with impunity.

The american Ddirymam gives
the cream of civil service principles
when it says, cit is manifestly
common-sense that public servant
who is secure in his position so long
as he is honest and faithful is more
likely to be honest and faithful than
if he is sure of being turned out at
the expiration of the term for which

The CHANNEL FLEET.-The Duke oil
Edinburgh, commander of the channel fleet
made a speech in London last night, in
which he said that the vessels under his
command were fearfully deficient in the
equipment required by modern methods of
warfare. He was not inclined to be an
alarmist, but he knew that England's best
ships would be powerless against some OF
the vessels of the despised South American
republics. The fault was not in the con-
struction or handling of England's men-of-
war, but in the absence of repairs rendered
necessary, by wear and tear and stress of
weather. He was not opposed to the build
ing of new and swift cruisers, but he be.
lieved that the existing vessels should be
kept in serviceabe condition, and he i'm
plored the people to vote in favor of ap-
propriating the necessary funds for this pur
pose,

OTTAWA, Ont. Mar. g. No information has
been received here indicating the accep
tanre by the imperial authorities OF the or
fer of Canadian volunteers for service IN the
Suu,ian
MONTREAL, Que Mar. 6.-There is no
doubt that if the Imperial authorities accept
the offer of Il Canadian contingent for SER
vice in the Snulan, that force can be cas-
ily raised in Montreal, Of from two to three
thousand good men. some of whom have al
ready seen service both in the regular army
aud the Canadian volunteer forces. The
only trouble now is the lack Of competent
officers, tu this can be obviated by calling
to the colors cadets who have passed out OF
Kingston Military College, and are resi-
dents in this city. These will no doubt be
supplemented by officers from the embodied
militia now serving i'll the Quebec and st.
johns schools The act of Australian mer
chants in raising funds for their contingent,
caused feeling Of emulation here, and
leading merchants are disposed, should the
government equip couple of good regi-
menis, TO supplement any government grant
by The raising Of u patriotic fund to provide
for the families those whom the chances
Of war may disable. Lieut.. Colonel Bond,
of the first battalion Of the Prince of Wales
Rifles, has offered to raise 500 men. Lieut..
Colonel Warsley, Brigade Major, and for
.nerly Of the Goth Rifles, at present in the
Soadan. is ready for service. Capt. Lydon,
of the Fifth Royal Scots, also an old regu
lar, has offered his services, and many 9th

A SIcKENING AFFAIR yesterday even

A SIcKENING AFFAIR Yesterday even
ing Frank Kunkle, German teamster,
living in Allegheny City, Pa, placed on the
stove to boil mixture of turpentiue. tar and
lnseed oil, which be had been told would
cure his horse Of lamen,sS. In the room at
the time, besides Kunkle, was his daughter
Annie, aged seven years: son aged i've
years; Julia Walters, thirteen years old,
and young man named Depp. The mix
ture had been on the stove probably an
hour, when it boiled over. Instantly it ig-
nited, and in second afterwards an explo-
sion occurred which scattered the scalding
LIQUID and flames in all directions. Young
Depp, with great presence of mind, grabbed
the can with the burning mixture and start
ed for the door, while Kunkle ran To the
rescue of the children, whose clothes were a
mass of flames. Que by one he picked them
up and threw them out of the window into
the yard, and then, jumping after them,
tore their clothes from their bodies. As
sistance had arrived by this time, and the
fire having been extinguished, the little
sufferers were carried back to the house.
Annie was burned to crisp, and died in q
short time in great agony. Julia Walters was
terribly burned the flesh peeling oil her arms
and legs. She is still living and suffering in
tensely, but there is only slight hope of her
recovery. The little boy was also badly
burned about the face and arms, but will
recover. Young Depp had the flesh burn
ed Off his hands aud arms, and Kunkle was
painfully, but not seriously, injured. The
damage to the house by the FIRE was very
slight.

ries to be afforded only in sickness or on great
occasions. Now, not only these but other tropi-
cal fruits are brought aud eaten almost rs gener-

melons y, aches pears, plums and berries. Is on

RIDDLEBERGER'S ACrIoN.-The action o
Mr.. Rjddeberger in opposing the COL hrma
ton of Dir. Bayard for Secretary of State
was, it is said, not unanticipated, as his pur
pase to take this course had been intimated
by bial. 1t is believed to be the Grst time
in the history of the Senate that the nomi
nation of d member of that body for any Of
fee has not been promptly confirmed by his
associates Regret and Misrepresentation oi
Rid(leberger's action was much more pro
nounced on the republican than on the dem
ocratic side Of the Senate, for it was the
universally expressed opinion on that side
that there was not the least justification fur
his course in the reasons advanced by him.
AS he would have made no objection to
the immediate confirmation of Sena-
tors Lamar and Garland, their nom
inalions might have been promptly dis.
posed of, but it was considered as
proper that the nominations Of the three
S-nators should all be acted upon at the
same time. 1t is said that Mr.. Bayard
has always been much disliked by the re
aduster leaders of Virginia because Of his
lust aud manly denuuciaIion of repudla-
lion in that State, and they think perhaps
this may have something to do with the
present curious perversion of his power as
u Senator by Mr.. Riddleberger.

The Senate met again at noon to. day, the
galleries being so crowded that it was i'm.
possible for an additional soul, let alone

The Senate then went into executive ses-
sion to consider the Cabinet nominations

half an hour, adjourned, having confirmed
