The Grand Trunk fire.

The coal shovelleIs in the Grand Trunk
shed reached the bottom of the pile yester,
day, and found thick bed Of coke next the
floor, showing that fire had been in it all
The boards and the coal were hot to the
touch, and steam and blue smoke were pour
ing out. By digging in underneath the pile
at the northerly end OF the shed more coke
was brought out, and soon red hot coal was
brought to light. In the opinion Of the FORE
man in chorge OF the work Of removing the
coal. the whole bottom Of the burning part
is either coke or a red hot mass, and that it
Is only question of time when the pile will
all be constituted IL 1t is not shovelled away.
Members OF the board Of fire underwriters
visited the shed yesterday, but no more ex.
peditious way of putting the fire out was
suggested

stenographers' Association.

The meeting of the Stenographers' Asso'
citation was largely attended. No business
of any Importance was transacted, the time
being occupied by an exhibition of the pho.
graph. The cornet solos came out all right,
but the practical business test proved con
clusively to those present that the time was
not yet at hand when intelligent stenograph-
ers would be superseded by machines. 1t
takes everything spoken, including all the
side remarks which are made, more or less,
by all men who dictate. Then again the
mouth must be held very close to the re-
ceiyer and ranting tone maintained. When
the machine talks there is an unpleasant I'M
dertone resembling an engine blowing off
steam If the tubes are held to the ears as is
necessary. Therefore the conclusion
formed was that, while wonderful instru-
ment, it at present fails to meet the require
ments of business man.

DUN QUlNOTE.
r The Bostoniaus brought out the new
American opera, "Don Quixote," at the Bos-
ton Theatre Monday night, and the Journal
says:
Don Quixote and his faithful Sancho
PanZa are present at all times, and in every
conceivable situation-and when they are
on the stage there is nothing dull. Plot
there is none, and the opera could end Just
as we'll at the close Of the second act as
where 1t does, as far as doing any violation
to the feelings of the audience is concerned.
Those 10 search Of variety will find abund-
ance OF 1t in the opera. And 1t can be said
ercised in the preparation of the work for
presentation. Attention was paid to every
little detail, the costumes and stage settings
were beautiful, and the artists seemed to en-
ter with abandon into their parts. The
music is mostly bright, lively and pleasing,
so far as the melody is concerned, and the
orchestration of the work Is to be commend
ed. Beyond this there is nothing that can
specially be regarded as catchy" or that
will be recalled after single hearing. Some
of the numbers are dull, land whatever action
there Is moves slowly, and were 1t not for
the artists in the ensemble it would be still
more tiresome.
Barnabee was Don Quixote and Frothing-
ham Sancho Panza, and 1t would be hard to
tell which was the funnier OF the two. Some
of the drollery verged upon the ridiculous,
but 1t seemed, as rule, to please the aud
fence.
The work Is not devoid of merit, and, as
we have indicated, has flashes of beauty, and
1t is to the credit of the management that a
novelty of this kind should be brought out.
Those who want variety, and something new
In the opera line, will find it, and they will
also see a careful performance. and such an
exemplification of the work as would be seen
hardly anywhere else. A poor company will
make wretched work with it.
