His Experience.
ST JOHNS, Dec. 16.-The schooner Emily
J. White, from Sands River, n. s, for New
York, with a cargo of piling has been navl-
gated into this port by a lad name Patter-
son, who was the only person aboard of her.
The vessel sailed from Sands River with
three persons on board-Capt. Patterson,
Mate Atkinson and the boy. 1t was intended
to put into another port on the Nova Scotia
coast to complete the crew. Shortly after
putting to sea, the mate was knocked over
board by the main boom. Capt Patterson put
off to his rescue, but was too late TO save him.
When he turned 10 row back to the schooner
it had disappeared After searching all
night, Capt Patterson landed at Quaco.
The lad on the schooner stood at the wheel
ali day and all night, skillfully navigating
her clear of numerous dangerous points,
and finally made this harbor He was once
beaten off by heavy head-winds, but when
the breeze changed he again attempted to
effect an entrance, and this time succeeded.
Weary with his ceaseless watch and labor,
he ran the schooner on the flats and sought
sleep in his berth. The vessel was found by
the captain, who aad reached this city and
dispatched tug in search of the schooner.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. 17-Fire broke out last night
in the large two-story building in the yards of
the Ganahl Lumber Company, at the corner of
Lombard and Second streets. The fire depart
ment was soon upon the ground, but owing to
the inflammable nature of the contents of the
building, the flames spread rapidly, consumed
the building. and spread to the numerous lum-
ber-piles which surrounded It, The wind drove
the flames from pile to pile, but by hard work
we're confined to this one yard, and prevented
from spreading to those adjacent. The loss is
800 000 fully covered by insurance. Several in
cendiary fires in this neghborhood have oc-
cirred of late, and it is thought that this one
was set by number of hoodlums who infest the
district.
