A RIDICULOUS SCARE.

Day before yesterday, L. b. Rick
ev's house was fired three times
inside of twelve hours and a certain
norton of the community became
very much worked up over it 1t
passed from mouth to mouth
that the Anti-Chinese League
was sending forth incendiaries
to burn the property of those who
employed Chinese.
We do not believe that single
one of the Chinese advocates OF
this city believed that any one con-
nected with the League would do
such foolish thing as to fire a resi-
dence in broad day light, nor did
they believe that the League would
sanction such thing under any
circumstances. The people who
talk that way would very much like
to believe it., and are mad because
they can't. On Friday night extra
guards were placed at the flume
Companvs Wood Yard to guard
the Flume.
The majority of people in this
town look upon this as play for
effect and it passes current for just
what it is worth as a play, but
trife of a chestnut. 1t is not I'M
probable however that the proprl-
etors of the hume have listened to
4 lot Of sensless talk and beco me
alarmed for the safety OF their
property. There is no more danger
Of the Fume being fired than there
is of a hole being shot through the
moon. Yesterday the Executive
Committee of the Anti-Chinese
League made a proposition to MIR,
Toby to place guards at the Flume
at the expense OF the League II the
Company wished them. The re-
ply was that the Company would
guard tbs own property.
If there is any one IN this city
who thinks their property is in dan
ger by reason Of the Anti-Chinese
agitation, they will be furnished
protection by applying to the
League. The League is not orga-
nized to destroy property, and
there is not a man or woman IN
this city who thinks there Is any
danger in this direction.

Gladstone's Home Rule measure

EXPLOSION OF FIRE DAMP.

Been Perished.

the Cause of the Disaster.

WHEELING, w. Va, Jan. 21.-At 2.45 this
p. m. an explosion Of fire damp occurred IN
the shaft of the Newburg Oool Company
Newburg, w. Va, which shook buildings in
the immediate vicinity and caused cOnsterna-
tion and alarm among the relatives and
friends of the miners employed there. I'M
mediately following the sound of the eXplo-
sion flame of fire arose far above tie
mouth of the shaft and timber and debris OF
all kinds was strewn around. Great excite
ment then ensued and crowds of people
hurried to the spot The shaft in which the
explosion occurred was sunk about two
years ago and has reached depth
of $50 feet From the base of the shaft
the main heading runs out about half mile,
and from this narrow rooms emerge, four on
each side. The theory advanced as to the
cause of the explosion is that fire-damp had
accumulated in one Of those rooms and was
accidentally ignited by a miners lamp, but
nothing positive has yet been learned. The
establishment of an air shaft is being pushed
vigorously.
Up to midnight no bodies have been re-
covered 1t is supposed that thirty-seyen
men are imprisoned and the prevailing
opinion is that all are dead although few
express a hope that some may have escaped
having been able to reach place free from

an explosion. Every effort is being made to
rescue the unfortunate ones, but it is thought
there is no prospect of reaching them to-

nnnninion Cattle.

Hon. Thomas r. Jones of st. John, Hon.
David Mcclellan, president of the New
Brunswick Board of Agriculture, and Hon.
Charles B. Lugrin, secretary of the board,
are interesting themselves in the proposed
change of the Dominion law, by which the
quarantine regulations shall be so altered as
to allow cattle to come through to this State
for the purpose of exhibition at the Eastern
Maine State fair, that society having opened
its premiums and purses to Provincial COM
petitors. The. Dominion quarantine laws
are now so stingent that it is impossible to
bring cattle to this State for the purpose of
exhibition. 1t is thought that an act may be
passed, permitting the provincial board of
agriculture to allow cattle to be taken from
the Dominion and returned without the yex-
atious delay of quarantine OF course this
permission would not be given if there was
danger of infectious disease.

The Minneapolis Flour Production.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Jan. 21.-In its
weekly review of -four production and mar
ket the Northwestern Miller says: There
is a greater activity among the mills, but
just when they desired to increase produc-
tion the water power became very poor and
has held the flour output not far from where
it has been several weeks. Twelve mills ran
last week-one more than the previous week.
The total product if 1886 barrels, averaging
1206l barrels daily, against s, ,403 barrels the
preceding week and $4,000 barrels during the
corresponding time in 1885. Monday, four
mills not previously in operation, represent
ing capacity of 5000 barrels, attempted to
start, but the water is very low and two were
forced to shut down, while the other two
could not run more than two-thirds capacity.
Water was somewhat higher this noon. One
more mill was added to the active list and
two are preparing to start up. This will be
a gain of about 5000 barrels. The mills in
motion number thirteen and have a capacity
of 10, 500 barrels, though not more than $4,000
is being turned out on account of lack of
power. The opinion obtains that low water
will prevail from this time on. There has
been some improvement in the flour market,
but the unsettled condition keeps buy ers in a
state of expectancy and unwilling to make
purchases except of a hand tomouth charac-
ter. Receipts here last week were 495,600
bushels; shipments, 1880; flour, ga, 740 bar
rels; in store here, 1884, ,492 bushels; at Du-
luth, 5,512 121; at st. Paul, 1,1S6,00o
