THE ICE CASTLE.

THE ICE ASTLE
Instead of following the designs of former
winters at Montreal and st. Paul, the archi-
tscas have placed the principal tower at the
northwestern angle rather than at the center,
tho whole design being intended to give
greater variety Of view as an observer makes
the circuit of the structure. The plan is an
irregular square, inclosing an area of some
l4,0W feet, entirely clear, open to the sky.
From each angle of the square q tower rises,
that on the southwestern corner being a re-
duced copy of the great tower at Windsor
castle. 1t is to be provided with a circular
staircase in ice, leading to a rarapet com
manding 9 fine view. A height Of 1O2 feet
win be attained by the principal tower,
shown in the foreground Of the sketch. The
tower on the eastern angle will rise to a
height of 80 feet, and be placed diagonally
to the wall. At the northerly angle will be a
fourth tower, 80 feet square and SO feet high.
Curtain walls with loopholes and battlements
connect towers and turrets together. SpeSiel
provision has been made in the design for ef-
fective aid to electric illumination and pyro-
technics

Calliope Independent, %: Last sum
mer q tramp, giving his name as Ed.

Torrey, of Eagle township, and has
worked for him until about ten days
ago. During this time the tramp be-
came acquainted with Jimmie Mitchell.

mers, and used to play with him a good
deal whenever they met. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Torrey, accompanied by
this chap, went to the residence OF j. M.
Mitchell and left $40 with which to pay
q thrashing bill. A few days later the
tramp and Mr.. MitchelI's little boy both
mysteriously disappeared, and upon
search the money which Mr.. Torrey had
left, together with SI4 belonging to Mr..
Mitchell, was also gone. It ia supposed
that tho tramp induced the lattle boy
to steal the money, as he knew ex-
actiy where it was kept, and the tramp
could not have had access to the house
without being discovered. 1t is sup.
posed that after getting the money he
also coaxed the boy off with him.

Liverpool, Dec. N-The largest and
most DISASTROUS fire since 1847 occurred
this morning, when the extensive general
retail stores Of J. Lewis L Co., were en-
tirely destroyed. The stores contained
an immense Christmas stock, all OF
which was consumed. with the menagerie
with the establishment. The
total loss is placed ct $2,000,000.
When the fremen had secured such
control Of the flames % to be able to con-
fine them to the burning premises, it
was noticed that q large polar bear in
the mensgerie was still alive and COM
iparatively unhurt, though surrounded
by flames. A determined effort was at
once made to rescae the fine brute. A
powerful stream OF water was kept in
fall play on the cage. and q number OF
daring men made their way under the
current to the cage. This they wrenched
from its ~fastenings, and graphing it
with chains and bars, managed, the bear
desperately flying ct them all the while,
TO drag it and its occupant from the FIRE
Just before the walls OF the burning
buildings fell in with 8 crash.

Condition of the Soldfer-Statesman the
Day Before his Death.
Washington, Dec. 25-The condition
OF Senator Logan, who has been suffer-
ing several days from acute rheumatism,
mas grown rapidly worse, SO much SO as
to seriously alarm the family. Friends
IN attendance speak in Respondent
terms Of the prospect OF his recovery.
Logan's physician said to al associated
press reporter tonight that the gen.
erals condition Was indeed alarming.
His doctor said the change dates back
nearly two weeks, when he commenced
to suffer from aoute rheumatism, which
was chiefly in his right wrist. Under
treatment for four or five days. the
symptoms nearly disappeared, when the
general took cold, which resulted in q
relapse. the rheumatic affection extend
eItremities and both arms,
times by high fever and nervous prostra-
involved; resulting in delirium more or
less active. While the general is not
now suffering much pain, there has

gradual decrease in strength and o ten
doncy to brain complications Of q very
serious nature. Logan's physician says
the patient is much reduced in strength
by overwork, and his system is not in
proper condition to resist the disease
He lies most Of the time in a semi-un-
conscious condition; from which he is
with difficulty aroused. His fever was
somewhat increased tonight and the
brain symptoms more prominent, and
the physician admits chat his condition
is very critical. In response to
Q question the Doctor said: "The
danger lies not so much in
tho possibility Of heart complica-
tions ns in his extreme exhaustion and
brain affection" The doctor says
Senator Loagan had q similar attack
four years ago; unattended, however, by
many of the present alarming symptoms.
Consulting physicians have been called
in and consultations are being held
several time daily. One OF the PHYSICIANS
remalns at the bedside tonight and
another to-mRrrow.
Later-A reporter who called at
Calumet place at midnight was told that
the senator was though to be slightly
better, seeming to have improved q
little III strength and to be less ~inclined
to stupor than early IN the evening.
DIR. Hamilton and Representative
George G. Symes, Of Colorado, will
remain at the senator's bedside during
the night.

The control Of the next senate by the
republicans may hinge upon the senat-
orial election in New jersey, and there
is still o strong element Of doubt sur
rounding that. all depends upon
the organization Of the New
Jersey house. There are seventeen
contests. The republicans have one
seat to gain and the democrats two. The
two labor candidates hold the balance
OF power. One of them has always been
q republican, aud both are said TO be
square men, who would rather vote for
Sewelps reelection than be q party to
any underhand trick to control the
nomination. The republicans, mean

day. at his home in st. Johnsbury, Vt,
aged 90 years. Mr. Fairbanks, when a
young man, was partner with his broth
er. the late Governor Erastus Fairbanks,
in country store in Northern Vermont
and the difficulty they experienced in
weighing the bulky materials they bar
tered in is said to have led to the inyen-
ton of the platform scales, in the manu-
facture of which the brothers embarked
under the familipr name of +. g. 7. Fair
banks & Co From the most modest be
ginnings this mandatory grew, under
the superintendence of Thaddeus Fair
banks, to be one of the largest in Yer

which the Fairbanks scales bear is said
to have been earned by the conscientious
labor of their inventor. Although he be
came very wealthy, he always chung to the
simple and unassuming habits of his
youth. and he viii be longest remembered
in his home for his deeds of Christian
charity
