rHE FIRE FIEND
Burning Of "a Large Building in Eoston-
Nine Lives Lost.

Burning of Large Building in Boston
Nine Lives Lost.
BOSTON, Mass, June PA terrible fire,
accompanied by loss of life, this afternoon,
destroyed the New England institute fair
building, on Huntington avenue. The build
ing was erected by the New England Manu-
facturers' and Mechanics institute for ex-
hibitiOn purposes, at a cost of nearly $780,
600. Last winter il was purchased by the
Metropolitan Street Railroad company for
$500, 900 and has since been used as a place for
storing and repairing cars. So quickly did
the flames spread that before the tlrst engine
had arrived the immense roof had fallen
and the building was roaring mass OF
flames.
The workmen sought to save their tools,
and many were badly burned before they
could get out of the building. while Others
were unable TO escape. In the building were
about 400 box cars, only one of which was
saved. The great barn like structure, which
covered an area Of i've acres, with a tOOZ
space Of nearly eight acres, was SO full OF
flames that the walls were blown out. Nine
wOrkmen lost their lives.

London Graphic.
DR.. Haycock, the eminent Oxford
divine, would often rise from his bed at
night, give out his text, and while sound
asleep, deliver an excellent sermon upon
it. He was frequently watched, but no
amount of tugging, pulling or Pinching
ever succeeded IN rOuslng him, Dr..
Macnisb, Of Edinburgh, gives an account
Of an Irish gentleman who swan more
than two miles down a river, got ashore,
and was subsequently found sleeping by
the roadside altogether unconscious of
the extraordinary feat he had accomp
hshed. DR.. Pritchard had a patient who
was particularly fond of horse exercise,
and used to rise at night, find his way
to the stable, saddle his horse, enjoy a
gallop, and finally come back knocking
at his own door in a sOmnambulstic con
dl6On. He was cured in a manner suf-
iciently funny to be worth recording
his servants tickled his feet.
The memory Of sleep-walkers is oc-
casiOnally prodigious, under the inhu-
ence Of the dominating impulse that
moves them. Mortz give an instance of
a poor and illiterate basket maker, who
was unable to read or write; yet In a
state Of sleepy vigil ne would preach
fluent sermons, which were afterward
recognized as having formed portions OF
discourses he was accustomed 70 hear in
the parish church as o child more than
forty years ago. Quite as strange a case
Of unconscious memory is referred to by
the eminent Dr. Abercrombie. A Young
girl given to sleeP-talking was In the
habit of initiating the violin with her
lips giving the preliminary tuning and
scraping and hOurishing with the utmost
fidelity. 1t puzzled the physician a
good deal until he ascertained that when
an infant the girl lived In a room adjoin-
ing a fiddler, who often performed upon
this instrument In her hearing On the
other hand, 1t must be admitted that
communicates occasionally do very fool
ish things and make odd mistakes. A
young man-of whom Petrus writes
used to get up in his sleep, climb, on his
castle battlements, seat himself astride
them and then spur and whip the wall,
under the impression that he was mount
ed on his steed.

The Won OF Maine EaaIvosass..

The custom Of Mr.. Blaine is TO make
one speech before a hall gathering ia the
evening and furnish another speech TO
the morning papers. The reporters have
always been lenient with him, and gen
orally permitted him to revise their
notes. So far as the associated press Is
concerned this Is a noted fact. But
Tuesday evening the custom was depart
ed from. His words were taken as they
dropped from his lips, and were printed
as be uttered them, with one exception
the mistake Of putting Kosciusko where
the name OF Kossuth should have app
pearsd. The words concerning Sails

were said by him ia Portland city han

win quote from his letter Transmitting his
claim to this office. Enclosed please find
T,sr,srs of an over charge on freight which
we would like to have corrected, for " 10 can {
get nothing out OF the railroad AGENT This
furnishes another illustration of the utter
undefenEible character Of the rule which has

cOmpauy's agent Is required to presume
that the car contains $1,000 pounds, and bill

troubie hs could have ascertained
before billing, the exact weight from pre-
ciseIv the same evidence that the general
freight agent proposes to be governed by IN
determining the amount OF excess to be re-
funded to the shipper afterwards. The ship
Del knows that too much has been demanded
of him and that he has been Wrongedi he
applies to the cOmpanys station agent for
redress or information and the agent is
mum. Under these circumstances many
shippers know what further to do, and many
who do are too uistrustful to send the papsrs
which contain the evidence that they have
been Overcharged TO those who are charge
able with the wrong. For further criticisms
of this practice We refer 70 our remarks IN
the Rogers case
The evidence clearly shows that Mr..
Johns has been Overcharged S5.ol upon
shipment referred to, which amount We be-

0. ID. Burhans, a son of ii. n. Bur
hans, and four young companions, all re
siding in DanfOrth, left yesterday after
noon for Onondaga Valley, where they
were going hunting. They drove a
horse, the property Of Mr.. Burhans. On
the way out the horse acted wildly, and
when a gun was discharged he cOuld not
be made to stand. When the valley was
reached Burhans and another boy re-
manned in the buggy, while the other
aIghted and searched for game. The
boys in the buggy drove on, but return
ed shortly, and as the horse had become
quiet, they requested two of the boys
who We're walking to shoot OF their
guns, In order that the horse might get
accustomed to the report before they re-
turned home. The buggy at the time Of
the shooting was some distance from the
guns.
The boys then started for home, and
nothing wrong was noticed until we'll on
their way, when Burhans told the boy
in the buggy to take the reins as he felt
faint. He then fell against the back Of
the buggy, and when they examined him
they found that he had been shot and
they set out for home as soon as posi-
bic. On the way they met Drs. Van
Duyn and LOOmis who, when they saw
the condition he wasin accompanied him
home. On examination 1t was found
that he had been shot by a ball either
from a rifle or a revolver The ball had
penetrated the top of the buggy, and
had struck him in the back under the
left shoulder blade. The doctors probed
for the ball but were unable to find it..
The boys vino accompanied Burhans
can not account for the accident, as there
were only two small shot guns in the
party, none of them having a rifle with
them, and as the distance between them
and the buggy was too great for a shot
gun to carry, the shots which they fired
they think, could not have been the ones
that did the harm. The guns were
breech leaders and were loaded with
shells of fine shot, the loading having
been done at Smiths gun works. Bur
hans is about II years OF age, and has
always had great love for hunting and
fishing The family do not blame any
Of the boys that accompanied him, and
it is thought the shot was fired by some
one else who was shooting In the neigh
bOrhOOd. The doctors say that although
the ball may have penetrated a lung they
have hopes Of recovery, although they
were unable to remove the ball last
night.

No farm animal chils sooner when er
posed to the cold than a hog, and no
animal works more industuOusly TO pro
tect itself against the cold than It. But
we think hogs suffer more from vet than
cold A cold rain chills the body, drives
the blood inward, opens the pores Of the
SKIN, and makes an animal doubly liable
to contract disease. When the ground
around the pig-pen is thoroughly drain
ed, as It should be, bare earth makes the
best and certainly the most dsEr9bla
floor.

Arrivals from Behring's Sea.

VIcroRIA, August 30th. - The steam
schooner Dolphin arrived from Behring's
sea last night. She reports the Alfred
Adams on the Straits, beating up, and the
American schooner Annie outside. Captain
Warren says the Corwin is towing two
schooners, which she had seized, into port,
and not caring to follow in the wake of the
cutter, pat a little distance between ii
and the Dolphin. He knows nothing
about the seizure, further than that
he can corroborate the statements OF
the other Captains as 10 the distance
from land, seventy or eighty miles. Dur
ing the whole of his course Captain War
ren never once sighted st. Paul or st.
George, the islands belonging 10 the Alaska
Commercial Company, and which the
American Government apparently has
taken under its protection. He was on the
high seas, and the right of search, far less
the right of seizure. does not there exist
The Dolphin. which left Victoria on the 18th
Of Nav, has had a remarkably successful
trip bringing back probably over 2,00O
skins. All the schoonerS have done well.
The season has been very favorable, the
weather being clear and calm, with much
less fog than usually prevails in those
northern latitudeS. The schooner Alfred
Adams from Behring's Sea, brings 1000
seal skins. She reports a submarine vol
canic eruption in Behring's Sea on the 9TH
of August The deck was covered with
ashes Tor several hours.
