The most serious fire that has happened
In Ottawa for many months occurred on
Tuesday evening" at nine O'Clock, resulting
in the burning to the ground of the barns
owned by }. n, Shuler, Il. G, Swift and
w. Ii. Hull The fire originated in the
barn of Mr.. Shuler, and was occasioned by
the explosion of lantern which mad been
taken TO the barn by Mr.. Shuler's son, who
was putting away the team. Before the
alarm could be given the hay in the loft
above was ignited and the whole barn in
flames. The barns of Hull ana Swift,
which were in close proximity to the
Shuler barn, soon ignited, and though II
desperate effort was III ade to save them, II
was impossible. At one time it seemed as
though the residences of Messrs. Shuler
and Hull would go, but bucket brigade
saved them by pouring water on the siding
and roofs, and by spreading wet blankets
over them. The heat, even to the south
side of Main street, was 80 intense as 20 be
almost unbearable. The horses, carriages
and harness in the barns were all saved,
The loss will amount to between s. 900
and $4,000. Mr. Shuler had no insurance
Messrs Hull and Swift had partial insur
ance, but not sufficient to cover the loss
sustained by them.

ROBBERY ON SnIPBOARD.

A robbery that occurred night
before last, and which was kept
very quiet in hopes of catching the
culprit, leaked out this morning in
spite of the keeping mum of inter-
ested parties. 1t appears that q
man, nationality and color not
known, entered the cabin of the
tern Eva during the small hours of
that night, and stealthily sought for
plumber. The steward was the first
to smell rat, and armlng himself
with murderous bulldog pistol he
proceeded to make target of the
depredator. The robber, in hastily
vacating the cabin, dropped his hat,
q small brown felt with hole in
one side. Some of the plumber that
had been gathered was also dropped,
and the thief, after being shot at
three times, vanished in the dark
ness with the whistling sound of a
flying bullet ringing in his ears.
Police officers are working up the
case with q hat for a clue and
there it will probably end.--Dec.
10th.

SANTA CLAUS.

The Santa Claus party in the
lecture room of Fort Street Church
last evening was very interesting
as well as successful entertainment.
The children of Mrs. Southwick's
Sunday school in Fowler's yard
came together in force to meet the
ancient, honorable and benevolent
Santa Claus. A large Christmas
tree, mountain lehua, occupied the
center of the room. The foliage
was well sprinkled with artificial
icicles, whose peculiar CLINT in the
lamplight made some people think
of Christmas nights in their northern
homes. The boughs of the tree
were loaded down with toys, can
dies and all sorts of fruits peculiar
to this species of vegetation. Old
Santa came in, robed in an immense
gown and wearing beard con-
siderably grown since his appear
ance last year. His appearance in
snow-fiaked costume, at first, terri
fed some of the unsophisticated
juveniles of the tropics. The
jovial salutations of his benevolent
majesty coupled with the liberal
distribution of presents that fol-
lowed, however, soon quoted the
fears of the little people. Refresh
ments were served, several Christ
mas carols were sung, and at seven
O'Clock the assembly broke up in a
dissolving view of small boys, and
wee girls returning to their homes
laden with the tokens of benevolence
bestowed on them. Mrs. Southwick
being unable, from illness, to be
present, the proceedings were con-
