only the north and east walls left stand
ing, and a stable adjoining on the south
was also burned, involving a loss estimat.
ed by Mr.. Marquart at fully $1,000, upon
which there was no Insurance. The fire
originated in the stable, sparks from a

fire to some hay. By the time the fire

so much the start that little could be done
to stop their progress.

Gone! Swept out of my life like pale, sweet
dream!
Only fierce pain, wan grief are here;
Here in this heart that was then agleam
With the joys and hopes of that one bright year.
Hopes delusivel But f1eeting joy!
Buried deep in my dead loves tomb
Their pallld ghosts my soul decoy,
With the faint dead smell of past perfume,
Then we drifted-fond dreamer- together
Lost in a trance of present bliss.
But dreaming never of stormy weather.
That our hearts best hopes could e'er end like
this.
The air was a-gold with the wealth of love
Which filled our young lives impressed our
features,
With slow, sweet rapture far above,
That blind, base passion of earthly creatures.
Rudely sudden did our frail barques sunder;
Huge waves, black clouds rolled in between.
heard through the roar, the rush, and the
thunder,
And saw through the mist of the gathering
screen,
faint farewell, a pale sweet face
The glad surprise of the grand gray eyes
Red lips parted-a halo of grace
DISCERNING the earthly for angel guise.
Gone is the sunlight from out my life,
HOW darK 1t Is, God only knows!
I'm tired, SO tired of this earthly strife,
Life and Death are such bitter foes.
My soul, like cage bird, flutters yainly
To throw OH the fetteIs which hold it here;

Yet-the. price of its freedom is far too dear.

The action was brought by the Hustisford

verdict, and it was a case all through
that excited considerable interest. The
Insurance company was represented by
Daniel Hall and G. w. Bird, and the
railroad company by B. Hanson.

NATIONAL PRISON CONGRESS.
The Subjects Discussed at Its Second
Days Session.

DETROIT, Oct. 20.
The subject for discussion at the morning
session of the National Prison Congress was
"Reformatory Measures in Prisons" The
secretary read letter from President Cleve-
land regretting his inability TO be present,
also letters from w. l.. Sargent of Great
Britain, favoring reformatorv measures; from
Gov. Reed of Florida, advising the abolition
OF capital punishment; from Rev. 5. W.
DYKE, favoring the securing of accurate
criminal statistics; from X, Walter Grafton,
apostle of the Irish indeterminste system,
reciting some OF the crime preventatives
coming under his observation.
NJ. X. Cassidy opened the discussion with
a paper in which he favored the substituting
of those knowing their business in the place
of political and ignorant prison officials.
r. W. McClaughry of Chicago read pa
per on prison punishment" He believed
the best way to reform prisoners was to re-
form prison officials
Warden Nicholson of the Detroit House
of Correction, said that he believed that the
society needed reforming more than prison
officers did
Col. Thomas F. Barr, of the United States
army, described the system of army prisons
aud penalties.
During further discussion, solitary CON
tnment was shown to be the most general
penalty, but much was left TO the option of
officials.
In the afternoon the chaplains meeting was
held. All the speakers emphasized the abso-
lutte need of genuine sympathy with the
prisoners. County prisons was fully dis
cussed. Mrs. J. B. Hobbs, of Chicago. en-
tered her plea in favor of matrons in police
stations

STEAMBOAT ACCIDENT.
Fatally Scalded by Escaping Steam from
Lake Tug.

DETROIT, Oct. 90.
About o'clock Sunday while the Moffit
line tug, Admiral ID. Porter, was bound dew
on Lake Huron with two schooners in tow
about ten miles from port, her crank pin broke
and the piston crashed through the cylinder
head completely wrecking that portion of the
machinery. The bolts which held the engine
from the floor of the hold were also snapped
by the sudden jar permitting the heavy frame
to vibrate
This caused the supply pipe TO break off
close to the steam dome and In an instant the
tug was enveloped in cloud of escaping
steam and hot water. William kirbley, cook
was in his room adjoining the engine room
and opened the door to see what was the mat
ter. He was dashed to the floor by the rush
ing steam and remained there until the boiler
was emptied of its contents. When carried
on decx he was still alive but died in few
moments. Thomas Armneta, the second en-
gineer, was in the fire hole at the time of the
accident and was also badly scalded about the
face and neck. John Morton chief engineer,
had narrow escape. The door of his room
which was slightly a. ar, was closed by con-
cussion and he climbed through the skylght
to the deck. The disabled tug and her tow
were picked up by the tug Crusader and towed
to Port Huron, arriving there at 4.30 Monday
morning.
