A Terrible Calamity Mt Quebec, by Which
Many are Killed.
A large mass of rock gave away on the
hillside under the crowning point known
as the Citadel, at Quebec, a few nights
since, and crushing down upon the build
ings below carried ruin and deata in its
track. Rescuing parties worked all night
and for days after, rescuing dea and dying
from the ruins. Over twenty bodies were
recovered, while there are unquesiionably
ten or dozen others, some Of
which cannot be reached for q
long time yet. Il ls feared la.ge part Of

peared. People are moving ont Of the
threatened houses. Citizens ARE sending
in money to relieve their immediate dis
tress among the homeless women and
children. The site Of the landslide Is al
most identical with that of one which
occurred in l841, when eight buildings
we're crushed and thirty two persons
killed. The houses destroyed this time
all stood on the other side Of the road and
were not thought to be in danger, but the
mass Of rock swept clear across the rold-
way and over the brick buildings, demol-
ishing them. Roughly speaking, the mass
Of earth and rocks which moved has
frontage of 600 feet, by 50 feet in depth.
Some masses of the fallen rock must
weigh twenty tons, and there are so many
huge blocks that ii makes the work Of
clearance very difficult. 1t is thought
that the kings bastion on the citadel will
have to be removed, as 1t is now near the
edge of the rock with unsafe crevasses in
front OF it. As a precautionary measure
all communication with the bastion has
been cut off and the morning and evening
guns will be no longer fired upon it.

An Indian Legend.

NO white man ever saw buffalo
west Of the Rockies. The Indians Of
the northwest have a legend to account
for this. Many moons ago, they say,
some Indians were hunting buffalo on
the other side Of the range they were
plentiful over there then. An old
medicine man told them where to find
a big herd which, he said, was led BY :
red bull calf The Great Spirit would
give them all the buffaloes they desired,
but tho red calf must not be killed. II
it was killed the Great Spirit would
punish them severely. The braves
started out, found the bnffaloes, and
slaughtered them by the hundreds.
When they looked among the carcasses
the body Of the rad calf was found.
It was never known who killed il, but
they say the bunaloes al disappeared
and were never again seen on that side
OF the Rockies. - Giobc- Democrat.

A Hurley. Wis, special says the safe in

the other night and $4,000 stolen. The
money was to pay the miners of the Ash
land Gernania mines. 1t was sent from
Ashland and arrived about o'clock and
was to have been used to pay off the miners
next day. The cashier put the money in
side the iron vault and left shortly after g..
A light was left burning ia the Office
and few minutes after man
was seen working at the safe, but he
had on the cashiers Office coat and
nothing was thought Of it by those VINO
passed the bank. The cashier returned
shortly after IL o'clock, and discovered
that the money was missing. Not even
the falntest clue was left by the bold burg
lars. The door of the vault had not been
mar.ed, and it was opened by some one
W o had learned the combination. There
were only two men supposed to be in pos
session of it, Cashier Reynolds and assist
ant cashier Leonard Perrin. The exact
amount stolen was $39,S95. The United
States Express company is the loser of the
money. They did not deposit in the bank,
but merely left it there for safe keeping
over night, when il would be delivered to
the consignee, Manager William z. Lyon,
of the Ashland and Germania mines.

Tho steamer City of Detroit arrived
from Cleveland after a very rough exper-
ience. Soon after the boat left Cleveland
in the evening she struck heavy storm,
which grew worse as the night advanced.
The paddle bulkheads gave way and the
water was forced into the boat at every
revolution of the wheels. The ssen-
gers, who numbered about 700, became
panic stricken and most of them donne /
life -preservers. The water rose inch by
inch until it was fully six and half feet
in the cabins. During this terrible situa-
ton the passengers were clustered in the
saloons, all prepared for the worst. The
appearance of the boat next morning
showed what she had passed through.
