Another Historical Fraud.

Winnipeg Times.
1t seems now that Wellington did not say at
Waterloo: Would to God that night or tho
Prussians would come" According to Barrie
correspondent of Toronto paper the expression
used was: II can hold my position here till
night and if the Prussians come upRin time
will give him the d---dest licking he ever had .
The latter may not be-auite pious, but there
is a good deal of the old Duke about it. The
correspondent had the story from Mr.. de Bla-
quiere, who had it from the Duke of Richmond,
to whom it was addressed. The Duke of Rich
mond at that time was Lord March, and an
invalid A. d. G. to his Grace the General.

PORT DEPOSIT, Nd, Feb. 1O.-There
was intense anxiety at this place last
night on account of the impending dan
ger of the ice in the Susquehanna. It
has been somewhat allayed by a cold
wave to-day. The water rose five feet
above low water mark last night, food
ing the cellars and back-yards of many
houses. The water receded about one
foot to-day, still being four feet above
low water mark. The ice gorge opposite
Port Deposit moved down a short dis
tance to-day and gorged against the
piers of the new bridge of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad! The gorges are firm at
Columbia and McCalrs Ferry. The
Baltimore & Ohio railroad bridge over
the Brandywine was washed away last
night. Ice twelve inches thick moved off
from the dam of the Mccullough iron
company at Rollandville last night. The
inevitable disaster appears only de-
ferred.

tain Lee Hall had his log shot of. The
details are confined to the
statement that three officers were
riding at the head of party of armed
men and was suddenly ambushed. If
these rumors prove true, a battle must
have followed, but no confirmation or
details seem obtainable tonight. Tele-
phone wires to distant points are not
working. A telegram from Cotulla says
that Captain Hall left there with twenty
men to scour Dimmit county. Nothing
has been heard. There is great anxiety
among the borderers awaiting news of
the expeditions. The feeling against the
raiders is intense.

they died before we could get them out
of the building. We couldn't see any
of the men in the cells of course, but
could hear their horrible cries above the
! roaring of the flames, as they came to
realize the horrible fate that was in store
for them.
While Attendant Shredder was going
through this terrible experience the
flames were extending to the main build
ing; the department. wing in which the
victims were being burned alive, was
wrapped in flames which were shooting
many feet into the air and illumina ting
the city for many squares.
q The last man rescued was the notorious
Jim Bnrke who has been in
the institution over thirty years.
He was brought firm the Eastern
penitentiary, where he was undergoing a
life sentence for murder. He has killed,

the entire group of buildings making up

there was no prospect of saving any of

BURLINGTON, Ia, Feb. TO-. Last night
was intensely cold, with northwestern
blizzard, the worst known for years. The
thermometer was o below this morning.
It is now 10 below. No mail for the last
twenty-four hours. The Burlington &
Quincy trains were due last night. All
are stuck in a snow drift at Galesburg
with the fast mail behind them. East
bound trains are blockaded in drifts near
Humeston, and will probably not get
through to-day. The snow is packed in
cuts like sand. Another victim of the
Creston disaster died last night, Mrs. H.
Day, of Burlington, making in all twenty
four. The rest will probably recover.

Action Of the Grand Forks
Chamber Of Commerce.

Cn8uUCT VI OOuA1uC1COs
GRAND FORKS, Feb. 12.-The chamber
of commerce of Grand Forks unani-
mously adopted resolution in favor of
the Minnesota house bill, regulating
railroads and warehouses as complete,
clear and adequate remedy forthe wrongs
of the northwest, believing that while not
unjust to railroads under reasonable in
depreciation, the bill will effect an open
market for hard wheat, enriching
farmers and merchants alike, promoting
sentiment of the trade which,
instead of harming railroads, will increase
traffic and profits.
Copies we're ordered sent to the speak
er and committees of the legislature and
the governors of Minnesota and Dakota
with request that bill with the same
vital features be passed. A committee
then circulated petition to the Dakota
legislature in favor of it's passage to
strengthen the hands of the peoples rep
sentatives. The feeling is almost uni
versal. Without an open market no re-
lief, and the future is gloomy.

A Disastrous Fire.


MILWAUKEE, Feb. 10.-A special to the
Seminal from Racine this evening says
the wagon works of Fish Bros, & Co., of
that place are in flames and in conse-
quence of poor water supply, for the fire
department.. The entire establishment
with contents will probably be consumed.
But few hays ago the property inven-
toried at $450,000.

as serious as at first supposed. It was
brought under control with loss not to
exceed $4,000 which is fully covered by

A New jersey Flood.

TRENTON, n, j., Feb. 10.-The ice
gorge tonight increased alarmingly. The
Delaware river, for three-quarters of a
mile across, is completely closed. The
water backed up into Crosswicks creek
and flooded Lamberton Meadows. In
South Trenton scores of houses we're
flooded nearly to the second story, and
people were removing furniture. Some
citizens are tying ropes to their houses
and fastening the ropes to trees to pre-
vent removal by ice or sudden thaw.
In case of thaw or rain within the
next few days, destruction of property
will be enormous. There has been no
such peril to the city since 1857.
