OTTAWA, OHT., 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
nifcance to it, owing to the hurried visit
paid to the militia department yesterday
by Lieutenant Colonel Straubenzie, Ad-
jutant-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-Co Colonel Panet,
Deputy Minister OF Militia, said that he
had not heard Of the threatened action.
~ am not disposed to attach much Gre
dence to such Q story remarked
the colonel; ''however, if they
come" he added, with grim smile, 'they
will be given warm reception. In the first
place, we were never better prepared. Thou

ness from the Gatling gun downward"

mysterious subterransan Moyement.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June lo-At Parsons
at a 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
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.

BLOOD AT BELFAST.
The Merciless Mob Continues Its
Murderous Work.
Another Night OF Terror-ThIeves and
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 the
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 ruffians 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
these places with the desperation Of mad
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
the police. In retreating as last re-
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
police. The mob then held possession of
both roads until 2:30 this morning, pillag-
ing and wrecking houses and stores In a
most wanton way. When they had tired
of their efforts the rioters dispersed In
opposing the police the mob used stones
weighing from fifteen to twenty pounds
ana numerous small arms. The hends
even attacked the firemen who had been
called out to battle with the flames which
were consumingsseveral 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 of in the darkness with bundles
of all kinds, composed of their
ill-gotten 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 adj
mitted TO the hospitals to-day for treat
ment. Comparative quiet reigned this
morning, but fears are entertaiped that
the rioting will be renewed during the fu-
nerals of the victims.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, June 13.-John Daley,
who recently abjured Catholicism, at
tempted to preach in River Park this
afternoon, but was prevented by mob of
1900, including some of the toughest ele-
Susquehanna river. Had it not been for
the interposition of the police, who were
present in strong force, Daley would doubt
less have been seriously injured, If not
killed. He was finally escorted home by
officers followed by an infuriated mob,
who made violent efforts to lay hands upon
him. Daley attempted to preach at the
same place last Sunday, butwas prevented

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

p
NATION, ILL.,, June 13-A remarkable
case OF faith cure has been effected near
Tolono during the past week. Miss Jessie
Crawford, 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 true Christian life, pos
sessing great faith In God, and for some
time past has firmly believed that her case
might be cured by prayer. Thursday she
requested that 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 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.

A wATnRspouT.
Destructive Storm In North CarolIna--
Brooks Become Raging RIvers-
Houses and Stock Swept Away
and Crops Destroyed.

AsHEvrLLE, N. O., June 10.-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 food, cattle were swept away and
drowned and the crops throughout the
region roundabout were destroyed. Apuny
stream, known as Rugby Run, ordinarily
three or four feet wide, became raging
river, oyerfowirg its 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
OF train filed with passengers. Two or
three small breaks In the track had oc-
CURED before the train reached Asheyilie,
but by proceeding cautiously they had
been passed IN safety. At Asheville your
correspondent boarded the train 1t was
then just O'Clock, and the rain was pour
ing down in torrents. Progress was slow,
the engineer narrowly scanning every foot
OF the track ahead before trusting the train
TO il. 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
was brought 10 q standstill only just in
time, A consultation by the train officers
was held, and 1t was decided TO return to
the last station. Here, however, fresh
difficulty occurred. A mountain stream,
which five minutes before the train had
crossed In safety, was now raging tor
rent, piling driftwood, trees, house tim
bers and huge bowlders upon Che 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 IL. On the river side
the embankment was rapidly crumbling
away and train officials and passengers
fied In CONSERVATION. Alrea dythe track
was covered and the water was rising at
the rate of six inches a 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 q generous response, all
hands doing their best to clear away the
Instructions. This done, the engineer, Mr.
Clark, bravely drove the train through the
waters over track that was actually
melting away to q place Of safety. Cap
tain Murphy, the conductor said after
ward that he had never spent such mo-
ment OF danger in all his years Of railway
experience.

Eight Days After-A Strange Story.
ToLEpo, o., June 10.-A most remarka-
BILE story was made public to-day, to this
effect A young Irishman named Mcln-
tyre, OF Detroit, married young lady of
this city named Cunningham. He died
in Detroit few days ago, and his re-
mains were placed in a vault Eight
days later his uncle visited the
vault 20 remove the body for in
terment when he was horrified
TO see Mcintyre sitting upon his coffin very
pale and weak. His hands were terribly
lacerated and bleeding from breaking out
OF the coffin through the glass plate over
his face. He was removed TO his uncle's
residence, and as soon as able to travel
came here TO see his wife, who had returned
TO her fathers house after his sup
posed death. She was at first ter
ribly frightened at meeting him, veritably
one risen from the dead. SO runs the story,
which became public to-day. Reporters
visited the house, but the family drove
them away, refusing 10 say anything about
the case The first one to call saw McIn-
tyre himself, looking pale and as II Just
recovering from illness, but as soon as he
discovered the reporters mission he alb
ruptly left the room, without answering
any questions. The mysterious conduct OF
the family is believed to indicate that the
story is true.

Texas Cattlemen form an Organization for
the Purpose Of Sinking Wells in
the Drouth Districts.

the Drouth Districts.
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEX, June 13-Cattle-
men in this section, profiting by dear ex-
perience, resulting from the recent disas-
trous drouth, have organized an association
with common fund, for the purpose Of
skiing wells at regular intervals ON the
vast pastures lying west of here to the Rio
Grande. The undertaking is gigantic, but
the value of such wells can be estimated at
millions of dollars. A dozen wells have
already been dug and good water found,
at an average depth of forty feet.
As the diggers get further west it is calcu-
lated that artesian wells will have to be
sunk. Leading cattle and sheepmen of
this section regard it as only question of
a few years before the great fiocks and
herds in Presidio and far Western Texas
will be watered by artesian wells. An un-
usal number of horses are passing north
ward, through Collin County, this season,
for Northern markets. The output of
horses is estimated at double the number
of the previous years. This ought to make
horses cheap at Chicago, st. Louis and the
