DETROIT, MICH, Dec. ia Journal
special from Port Huron says: For some
time it has been well known here and at
other points along the border that
big consignment of opium was en- route
through Canada and an effort would
be made to smuggle it across the border
somewhere in this customs district. Yes
terday afternoon four customs officers
were dispatched up the shore, with in
structions TO look after a consignment of
the drug which would be landed
probably at Sand Beach or
near there. The plans of the officers
were successfully executed i'll so far as.
securing the drug is concerned, but no
arrests have been yet made. The opium
was taken from little schooner near
here and hidden on the shore; .the
schooner at once putting back to
Canada The officers found the opium
last night, but the confederate, who
was guarding it escaped. The opium
is valued at about $50 200 and
was brought in from Vanceburg. 1t is
believed that Labelle, the famous snug
gler who recently escaped from the
United States officials after he had been
arrested here and was being taken to De-
troit, was engaged in the present enter
prise. Arrests are almost sure to follow

About Sl2O, 900 900 disappeared in
smoke in this country in 1887, an increase
of - per cent. over the losses of the pre-
vious year. Not only was the number of
important fires much larger than ever
before, but the average loss per fire was
also greater. OF all the fires 81 per cent.
were of incendiary origin. Defective
flues were, next to incendiarism, the
most fruitful source of fires.
One of the greatest inventions intro.
duced in fire circles is the life-savIng net.
Its usefulness was thoroughly tested at
the Elberon flats fire in New York Il few
days since. A young lady and her two
brothers, who were cut off by the flames,
sprang from Il tifth-story window and
were caught in the net at stage of the
fire where scaling ladders and
life-lines were almost useless. Fire
man Quirk and Fireman Donohue, who
were trying to reach them by means of
an extension ladder, also had to take ad-
vantage of the net and jump for their
lives. DOnohue reached the net first,
and when poor Quirk struck it he re-
bounded from the net to the street and
broke his arm in two places besides re-
ceiving other injuries. He was removed
to the Presbyterian hospital, where his
injuries were cared for. His name has
since been added to the rolf of merit for
his gallantry at this fire
