Last Nights Fire.

Roasted apples were plenty at the Grand
Trunk wharves last night. A Waterman
named Brown discovered fire in car loaded
with apples for shipment to Europe, at quar-
ter past one, and an alarm was sent in from
box 16. The department responded quickly,
but the car and its contents were so thor
oughly ignited that the apples were spoiled
and the framework of the carpretty well
demolished before the flames were extin-
guished. The apples came from Canada.
The fire caught from the stove placed in the
car to keen the freight from freezing.

Fire at corham.

About 8 a. m. yesterday, during the severe
cold, the house of Freeman Fairbanks, at
Gorham, took fire, probably from defect in
the chimney, and notwithstanding the efforts
of the neighbors it was consumed. Some of
the furniture was saved. The house was
worth about $500, and was not insured. Mr..
Fairbanks has been a fated man. When the
City of Columbus was wrecked ON Gay Head

MAINE VESSELS IN THE GALE.
The Henry Warner Reported All Right
Sunday

The steamer Linn O'Dee, Capt. Miller, at
Boston from Halifax, was out in the late
gale and shipped large quantities of water
fore and aft. She reports on Sunday, about
eighty miles east of Boston Light, saw
schooner Mary Sprague of Thomaston, from
Philadelphia for Boston, flying a signal of
distress. Lowered lifeboat, manned by
five men, and went within hail of the
schooner Found that she was in fair con-
dition, but wished to be. towed in. Capt.
Miller declined to undertake this job. As
the boat returned alongside the Linn O'Dee
she was badly injured, just after the crew
had got out of her. January 10, at noon,
about 80 miles east of Boston Light, passed
barque Henry Warner, Capt. Reed, from
Buenos Ayres for Boston. She seemed to
be in good condition and wished to be re-
ported.
The schooner Isaac Carlton, Capt Z. E.
Drisko, of Jonesport, before reported ashore
at Scituate, went into Boston Bay on Friday
night and was beating about until a. M,
Saturday, constantly washed with the heay-
lest seas. The wind finally headed her off
so that she drifted in among the breakers
She let go both anchors, but steadily
dragged The boats were smashed and the
forward house washed away. The crew took
to the rigging, where they remained for
seven hours from to g. The Isaac Carlton
was fine new schooner of 1873 tons, built at
Columbia Falls only two years ago She was
mostly owned there by Isaac Carlton.
Messrs. J. S. Emery & Co. of Boston owned
small portion. There was only $4,000 in
surance on the vessel. The cargo of coal
was fully insured. 1t was consigned by
Cashier & Co., Boston. A survey was to
have been held on the vessel yesterday, and
it was thought that she could be saved.
Capt. Lincoln Baker of Boston states
that the escape of himself and crew from the
schooner Theresa, which they were wreck
ing at Hyannis, was miraculous. The gale,
he states, was the worst he ever experienced.
The splendid work done by his crew of
lightermen in rescuing the crew of the
schooner White Foam may be judged from
the fact that although they had themselves
just escaped death, they volunteered to go to
the rescue of the schooner when it appeared
almost certain death to venture. In sixty
minutes after the men were landed ON the
lighters deck not a vestige of the White
Foam was to be seen. The White Foam was
bound from Perth Amboy to Portland, with
a cargo of 275 tons of coal. She will be, to-
getheriwith her cargo, a total loss.

FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
OF Ivanhoe Lodge, Knights Of
Pythias

The anniversary of Iyanhoe Lodge, which
occurred last evening, calls for more than
were mention, as lit shows the wonderful
growth of Ivanhoe Lodge during the five
years Of its existence.
Part first of the programme opened with
an overture by Chambers orchestra, which
was rendered in their usual good style. Next
came the Peasants Wedding March by
quartet, composed of Mrs. Morrison, Miss
Brown, Messrs. Thurston and Shaw, which
was highly appreciated by the large audi
ent. Miss Gookins read "The Deacon's
Story in such happy manner as to receive
a recall. when she rendered 'The Baldheaded
Man. which created much merriment. At
ter solo by Miss Brown, which was finely
rendered Miss earle reeited the tragic story
of LADY Mauds Oath" and in response to
an encore gave humorous selection. The
duet of "The Pilot" by Messrs. Thurston
and Shaw was encored, and "If had but
thousand year. was sung in an especially
fine manner. Mrs Morrison rendered the
solo of "Ohe Mamma" with peculiar sweet
ness and expression She received an en-
thusiastic recall and in response gave
''Twickenham Ferry much to the delight
of the audience. This ended the first part of
the programme, when Past Chancellor II. I.
Nelson stepped on to the platform and an
nounced the next number (Which was not
down on the bills would be given by Reuben
A. Wills, who called for Past Chancellor
Ernest True, and in short speech present
ed Mr.. True with an elegant gold headed
cane, bearing the following inscription:
Presented
Ernest True, p. c.,
by the
Members of Ivanhoe Lodge, No. 20, X. of P.
1886,
Mr.. True responded in few witty re-
marks, after recovering from his surprise.
In the second part, after music by the or
chestra, Past Chancellor, Henry |. Nelson
read the lodge history from its inception to
the present time 1t was especially entertain
ing, and gave some important statistics in
regard to relief work accomplished during
the year. The humorous illusions contain
ed in the history were funny in the extreme,
as was evinced by the manner in which they
were received by the knowing ones. Libby,
Berry, Kicker & Company of course came in
for fair share of raillery.
The balance of the programme was made
up of good numbers, including reading Of
Socrates Shocks" by Miss Go0kins, which
was encored; duet by Miss Brown and Mrs,
Morrison; Kotzschmar's "Christmas Carol"
and music by the orchestra.
The piano duet by Mr.. and Mrs. Kotzsch-
mar, which we omitted to mention in the
first part was rendered in their usual artistic
manner, being especially noticeable for its
brilliancy and finish. Being recalled, they
gave the latter part of the number to great
acceptance; also the march from "Lenore
Symphony" by Raft, was exquisitely per-
formed
After the exercises in the main hall, the
company repaired to the banquet hall, where
dancing was enjoyed till late hour.
The fifth anniversary of Ivanhoe scores an
other success for its historian to chronicle.

Gone to Smash.

New YORK, February IL The Trans
Continental Railway Association is thing
of the past. The representative of lines in
the association permitted it to fall to pieces
late this afternoon. Though they have
argued with each other every day for
week, they were unable to agree upon the
terms of a pool. After the breakup, all
the delegates were reticent as to the cause
of the disagreement. 1t is understood,
however, that the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe road had demanded certain con-
cessions to which the Union Pacific re-
fused to agree. This was denied by Cen
eral Agent Cannon, who said all the repre-
sentatives were dissatisfied and were un-
willing to accept the terms OF agreement
proposed by the committee appointed TO
prepare such.
'sIs there no prospect of a reorganiza-
tion?' was asked him.
Decidedly not, at present. was the re-
ply. 1.-THE organization has gone to smash.
L cannot tell what the effect will be, and
can give no de ails Of our meeting"

The Boston Wool Market.


Advices from Boston state that the mar
ket is quiet and the situation somewhat
unsettled, owing partly to the labor trou-
bles. Prices are generally fairly steady,
but fine fleeces, owing TO the competition
from the free importation. Of Monrevedio
and Australian woods, are less firm and
sales in other markets have been made at
lower prices. There has been some pres
sure to dispose of these woods to close up
accounts, but there are no large sales re-
ported. The sale of $1,000 pounds of fine
Montana at 22c and 12,o0Olbs territory at
1923 cents are reported. The quotations
of Montana wool show no change, 2l@23c
for fine, 24@26c for medium.

Story's Current Wheel.

This wheel was invented for the purpose
of raising water for placer mining, irriga-
ton and other purposes. a current with
the velocity of five miles per hour is suffic-
lent to work the wheel, which win raise
water 25 feet, sufficient to run twenty
four foot grizzly, such as is generally used
On Snake river placer mines for saving
flour gold. The wheel is made on the pro-
peller system and is entirely submerged,
and the deeper under water the more power
it has. A model of the wheel, which has
proved a complete success, will be working
and on exhibition in the fiume just above
the Boies City cemetery, by the side of the
road, Saturday afternoon, February 18th,
for the Inspection of all who are interested
in placer mining or irrigation. The water

where L find the sentiment for the admis-
sion of Montana and Dakota very strong.
1t is not so much Of a partisan question
as it has been represented, either. 1t is
assumption to claim that there is a COM
promise with a political bias at the bot
tom of the deal. The question of popula-
ton anG material resources of the terrific
rial applicants enter more generally into
the question than has been generally ad-
mitted. Gov. Hauser and Delegate Toole
Of Montana, with myself, regard Mon
tana's prospects for statehood as quite
promising. OF course Dakota would be
admitted at the same time as Montana.

the Belmont hors es which he will take,
he has bought number from our Ruby
and Madison valley ranchmen, and some
in the Gallatin valley. He will have
about 100 head in all. The shipment Of
these horses is important, in that, if sue
ccssful, it will open up a new and constant
market for Montana horse-desh. Mr..

Plucky Cinnamon.

When the Chinamen were driven out Of
Snohomish City last week, three who had
property interests were allowed to remain,
but were notified that they must leave by
Monday last. On Monday when told to
go they refused and said they intended to
remain. Late Monday night a dynamite
cartridge was exploded under their house,
wrecking their building, but not injuring
the Cinnamon. The latter pluckily moved
into the part of the building that was not
destroyed, and reiterated their determina-
ton to stay. This morning a number of
shots were fired into the house, but none
of the Cinnamon were injured, and at last
accounts they were still holding the fort
and declaring that they would not leave.
