MONTREAL, February ia terrible con
fagratiOn ragged here destroying two mill
lion dollars worth OF property.
The fire started in the extensive rolling
mills Of Peck, Benny q Co. No 63 Mill
street, at 6 o'clock aud extended north TO the
bank of the Iachine Canal. the entire
brigade was called out but they could not
prevent the flames spreading to the canal,
iron, nail and spike works, the imme nse
premises adjoining and by 10 o'clock lhe
whole of those immense piles of buildings
were almost completely destroyed.
At noon the flames sgain broke out in the
canal works, and before the fremen reached
the scene, they had spread to The monster
elevator on Canal bank, owned by Messrs
McDougaI, Logic & Co., with the immense
granary attached, and Messrs. Ogiivie's
Royal flour mills.
In the elevator aud gFanaFies ware slowed
upwards of 5000 bushels of grain, princi-
paiIy owned by Gould d Co., and all of
which is a total loss.
When the fremen arrived general alarm
was sent in, but ths hYdrants IN the vicinity
of the fire being covered by heaps Of snow,
and some of them frozen, it was almost inn
possible to get water for long t1nes while
two of the steam engines are laid up and the
largest one II the city had no steam Tor ~
minutes after it arrived on the ground.
Mean while, the flames rolled on unchecked.
When this engine was put to work it was
where it was of no practicable service, and
when the men tried to change 1t, the ma
chine and three horses rolled down the bank
to the wharf. The engine has just been got
out and an effort will be made to work
it on the ice in the canal. At p. N. there
were only four servicerbIe streams playing
on the burning buildings, and the flames
spread to the large mandatory and ware
house of Pillow, Hersey q Go. Messages
were sent ont to neighboring municipalities
asking that the steam engines be sent to this
city. but it looked as if nothing would save
the whole street from destruction, and
among the buildings threatened were the
Island City paint and Varnish works, Do
miniOn linseed oil mills, Parham Cement
Roofing Co.'s works, Canada horseshoe nail
works, aud the great warehouses of the
| Montreal WaTehousing Co.
1t is rumored that two 6remen have been
killed by a falling wall in the elevator build
ing.
The estimated loss 81 present to buildings,
grain ana goods is nearly $2,O0O,OOO, and it
| may possibly go above this amount Over
| 500 men are thrown out of employment. AL
| the insurance companies doing business IL
Asontreal will be heavy losers.

the experience of suffering is a great
factor in stage work. Most of the so
ciety women who glide upon the
scene in silks regard the drama
from the picnic point of view. 1t is
how much show can they make, not
how much of pang can they paint.
The woman who has had her heart
broken, but not her viii, stands some
chance of renewing for US the old eff
cacy of pathos. It should be said that
Mrs. Blaine has fascinating person
atty. Her face is strikingly ex-
pressive and beautiful one, and she
possesses the gift of embodying emo
ton in the tones of her voice, which Is
deep contraltO, and of extraordinary
timbre. Educated as a musician, her
vocal efforts Have long been recognized
in select circles as unique in their sin
gularly human quality. She can sit at
piano and improvise with voice and
fingers and hold tine company spell
bound. The effort has mystic effect.
She croons rather than sings, in a soft
low strain, like a mother lamenting
her dead. The melody is mingled
with an indescribable melancholy and
beauty, and the large rich tones, never
forced above a mezzo, seize upon
everybody.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 16.-An import
ant conference of oolOEed men has been
held here. 1t gathered at the instance OF
Prof. j. n Langston. Seven states were
represented By delegates present-South
Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee,
Kentucky, Florida and Missouri. The con
ference was held with closed doors and an
address TO General Harrison was formulat-
81. In substance it Is IS follows:
'FThe undersigned would assure you that
they are loyal members of the republican
party; that they reside in states. several of
which are overwhelmingly republican and
upon fair election would give their respeC-
i've electoral votes to such party by large
msjorities. Such, however, are the undue
influences and frauds brought to bear
against the great body of voters of these
states that the desires of the republican
masses are constantly defeated.
We believe that the fifteenth amendment
should be maintR ned with fairness and
VigCr and that ample protection through
federal agency should be given every citizen,
We cannot doubt that you agrees with Us IN
such opinion, and that you desire that Sucn
object shall be accomplished in the interest
Of the seven millions Of American citizens
who to-day in the south are practically dis
| eranchised and whose cause VS. represent
and plead
In view of our present and prospective
condition under yOur administration of the
government, We are rvotOunly interested in
the construction of your cabinet so far GER
tainly and especially as concerns the attor-
| ney generalship thereof. We offer you the
name of 40 man for such position. Such
course would, We aDprehend, be unbecOm-
ing. We ask simply that a person be ap-
pointed to such position whose cordial ao-
ceptance of the great American doctrine as
respects citizenship and the ballot of the
humblest OF our citizens, however, formerly
slaves aud outcasts, would lead him to search
urgently and thoroughly for the aw in such
| behalf, uninhuencsd and warned in judg-
ment against our cause by reason of ill
| founded, though strong predictions and
preiudIoss.
! The importance, the absolute necessity OF
! the appointment to the position which We
name of man who in addition to great
/ learning in the Law, is free from undue feel
| ing ana bIas, becomes apparent in q single
moments reflection. This officer with his
assistants and subordinate agents is of prime
/ importance.
| Such being our opinion, we have ventured
/ to bring it formally and earnestly to yOur
consideration. If you have anticipated in
/ such appointment already made, the sugges-
| tions which we here offer, We shall ever be
| your grateful delighted fellow citizens"
