of the most reliable now on the market.

Frightened by Fenians.

OTTAWA, ONT, June 1.-The report that
Fenians, owing to the defeat of the Home
Rule bill, contemplated an attack on the
Canadian frontier, has created great ex-
citement here. Several members of the
militia force in this city attached sig
nificance to it, owing to the hurried visit
paid to the militia department yesterday
by Lieutenant Colonel Straubenzie, Ad-
lutant-General of the Fifth Military
District with headquarters at Montreal.
The latter gentleman escaped the inter-
viewers, and after accomplishing his busi-
ness returned home by the evening train.
The intelligence OF. the alleged plans of the
invaders was given by an officer from a
frontier county, who came to Montreal and
stated that he had incontestable evidence
to the effect that the Fenians were hard at
work drilling for a raid, in which they
were to be assisted by the aggrieved fisher
men of Maine. Lieutenant Colonel Panet,
Deputy Minister of Militia, said that he
had not heard of the threatened action.

dence to such . story" remarked
the colonel; 'thowever, if thew

BLOOD AT BELFAST.
The Merciless Mob Continues It's
Murderous Work.
Thugs Compose the Blood
thirsty Throng.

BELFAST, June 1.-THE fighting between
the Orange mob and the police last night,
was probably the most desperate since the
commencement of the trouble. All night
long the mob fought the police, and tho
latter had hard work in several conflicts
with desperate rioters to hold their ground,
but they finally, in almost every instance,
succeeded in scattering the rioters. The
mob for the most part consisted of the
lowest class of rufians obtainable in the
city. The greatest damage last night
was done in the vicinity of the Shank Hill
and York Roads. The rioters fought in
men. Although the police charged on
them several times with fixed bayonets,
the mob held its ground and finally
rallied in force and steadily beat back
sort to disperse the mob, the police fred
several volleys of buckshot into its
ranks, but despite the fact that sew
eral Of its members fell, the mob
pressed on and completely routed the
both roads until 2:30 this morning, pillag-
ing and wrecking houses and stores in
most wanton way. When they had tired
ct their efforts the rioters dispersed In
opposing the police the mob used stones
weighing from fifteen to twenty pounds
and numerous small arms. The fiends
even attacked the firemen who had been
called out to battle with the flames which
were consuming several buildings fired by
the rioters. They stoned the firemen when
ever they got within reach and greatly re-
tarded them in the work of quenching the
flames. Dozens of eye witnesses state that
the mob was composed of thieves and
thugs, who looted private dwellings, stores,
ETC., and carried off all valuables they
could. Many of them could be seen strug-
Cling on in the darkness with bundles
illgotten gains. The Catholic residents
are in state of terror bordering on frenzy,
and are afraid to venture abroad, even to
purchase the necessaries of life. Scores Of
Catholics were shot down last evening by
the blood thirsty rioters. Ten were ad-
mitted to the hospitals to-day for treat
ment. Comparative quiet reigned this
morning, but fears are entertained that
the rioting will be renewed during the fu-
nerals of the victims

the saloon-keepers, whose policy it was to

escape payment of the tax by limitation,

law will stand and the tax be paid. 1t will
be paid, too, he says, or the commission

gain control of the structure. The
rioting was renewed this evening and

Destructive Storm in North Carolina-
Brooks Become Raging Rivers
Houses and Stock Swept Away
and CronS Desfrnxad


AsHEvILLE, N. c., June 1O-A wat,r-
spout burst over Marshall yesterday after
noon and the most terrific rain fell upon
the surrounding country that has been
witnessed within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant Houses fell before the ad.
vancing flood, cattle were swept away and
drowned and the crops throughout tho
region roundabout were destroyed. A puny
stream, known as Rugby Run, ordinarily
three or four feet wide, became raging
river, overfowing it's banks and sweeping
away every thing movable that came within
its reach. Fortunately no loss of life is
reported. One of the most exciting incl
dents of the storm was the narrow escape

three small breaks in the track had oc-

correspondent boarded the train. It was
then just O'Clock, and the rain was pour

the engineer narrowly scanning every foot
to it just before reaching Marshall, how
ever, part of the track slipped away al
most in front of the advancing train. The
brakes were instantly applied and the train
time: A consultation by the train officers
was held, and it was decided to return to
the last station. Here, however, fresh
d mculty occurred. A mountain stream,
which five minutes before the train had
crossed in safety, was now a raging tor
rent, piling driftwood, t~es, house tim
bers and huge bowIders upon the track in
hopeless confusion. The road bed was on
the margin of the river, the turnpike road
being on the other side, the mountain ris-
ing behind it. On the river side
the embankment was rapidly crumbling
away and train officials and passengers
fed in CONSERVATION. Alrea dythe track
was covered and the water was rising at
the rate of six inches minute. Heavy
logs were thrown, crashing against the
sides of the cars, threatening to push them
from the track. Volunteers were called
for, and there was generous response, all
hands doing their best to clear away the
distractions. This done, the engineer, Mr..
Clark, bravely drove the train through the
waters over a track that was actually
melting away to a place of safety. Cap

CURED BY FAITH.
The Remarkable Recovery of a Young
Woman Who Had Been Two
Years in Bed.


4ATTooN, ILL, June 13-A remarkable
case of faith cure has been effected near
Tolono during the past week. Miss Jessie
Crawford, a young lady about twenty
two years of age, has for the past
two years been confined to her room, and
most of the time to her bed, with spinal
disease, which was the result of too close
application to study while attending
school. She was a student of more than
ordinary ability, and was SO ambitious to
reach the top round of the ladder that she
neglected to take recreation necessary for
the preservation of her health. She has
always lived a true Christian life, pos
sessing great faith in God, and for some
time past hasfirmly believed that her case
might be cnred by prayer. Thursday she
requested that a number of her friends meet
and pray for her recovery. The meeting
took place the same evening, when fervent
prayers were offered for the sick girl.
On the morning following she arose while
the family were at breakfast, dressed her
self, went down stairs, making the first
step taken in nearly two years, and entered
the dining room. The astonishment and
JOY of the family were unbounded at her
sudden recovery, for she seemed perfectly
well. Saturday she paid a visit to friend,
and to-day attended church, to the great
surprise of her friends who had not al
ready heard of her regained health.

mysterious subtsrransan Movement.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 1O.-At Parsons
at late hour last night the people were
terrified by what is supposed to have been
an explosion of gas in the Mineral Spring
Mine of the Lehigh Coal Company. Many
persons living within a short distance Of
the mine were hurled about in their homes,
and they thought for a moment that an
earthquake had occurred A large
number of houses in the vicinity of the
mine were badly shaken, and great many
windows were shattered. The surface Of
the ground in the vicinity Of the Philadel-
phia and Reading depot has fallen fully
two feet, and is still sinking Three houses
belonging to one man about three hundred
feet from the mine were moved surpris-
ing distance from their original position.
No lives were lost. Some miners think
there was no explosion, and that the con-
cussion was caused by a rush of air due to
an extensive cave in.
