An Historic House Burned.

SANDY HILL, N. Y., May 5.-on Thursday night the antiquated building on the boule- yard, just west of the street car company's houses, caught fire and was burned to the ground. It was an historic structure. In 1775, when body of Continentals were sum- noned hurriedly to relieve Fort William Henry at Lake George, which was attacked by French and Indians, they were ambus- caded by band of Mohawk Indians and were obliged to take refuge in this building and defend themselves. An incessant fight was kept up, but the rifles of the frontiersmen played sad havoc with the Indians. When about one-quarter of the Indians were killed and wounded they reluctantly retired from the scene, leaving the Continentals in posses sion of the structure. About dozen of the latter were killed and wounded. The dead were buried in front of the old structure, while the wounded were taken to the strong works at Fort Edward. The remainder, con, sisting of about seventy five men, marched to relieve their comrades at Lake George, where they did valorous service.

BANGoa, Me-, May 5.-The entire south wing of the Bangor House was gutted by fire this morning. The flames caught in the boiler room shortly after o'clock and spread so rapidly that many guests were obliged to escape in their night clothes and lose their baggage and property. The hotel was owned by F. o. Beale and was insured for $2e, ,0o0. It was under ten years' lease to Fl. o. Chap- man, who had an insurance of $7,GO0 on the furniture, which will about cover the loss in the wing. E. M.

CAUGHT AND COOKED, BUT NOT EATEN

MDDLEBURY, May 5.-Otto Ellis, farmer who lives near the Bradleyville station, has for years kept trout in the deep, old fash toned we'll in his yard. This is in accord with the custom in places where wells furnish all the drinking water for the family, the theory being that the fish devours the insects and prevents the accumulation of all filth in the icy depths. When Mrs. Ellis wanted water she usually lowered a pail or bucket, tipped it with a skilful twist of the wrist and brought it up brimming. But the other day she was in such hurry that she lowered the big family teakettle, brought it up, clapped on the cover, and in five minutes it was sing

 NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., May 5.-A fatal riot occurred at Ssyreville brick yards, five miles below this city, last night and this morning. Agent E. P. Hendrickson with one hundred men started last night to put in spur from the main line to the Raritan River railroad across the land of ex-Free- holder Edward Furman down through the brick yards of William F. Fishers yard. Furman was opposed to their crossing his land and called out his men. The rail- road men were reinforced by brickyard men favorable to the railroad until by mid- night five hundred men were engaged in the fight. Furman's men attacked the railroaders and burned the ties, material and car. Pis- tols, clubs and stones were freely used. George Kissenger, one of Furman's 1aborers, was killed outright. He was knocked down with club, and sharp pointed crowbar was jammed through his head. John Kennedy, a railroad man from South Amboy, WAS so bad- ly injured that he died in an hour. At four o'clock this morning Sheriff Flick of Middle sex county called out posse and went to the scene. When they reached the place all was quiet, and the railroad men had stopped work to recruit their force. The Raritan River railroad is new enterprise running from South Amboy to Sound Brook. Gen. E. T. Ripley of No. 275 Fifth avenue, New York, is president. Furman complains that the company is crossing his land without his consent, which the company claims he has given. Up to o'clock this evening all was quiet, but the railroad men, who are encamp- ed in the woods near the disputed spot, are being heavily reinforced from all along the line. and trouble is expected tonight as both parties are determined.

Dining With she Dilkes.

From London Letter.
 A few nights ago society was considerably astonished to learn that MT. and Mrs. Cham berlain had dined with Sir Charles and Lady Dilke, who certainly, to put it mildly, are not 'in the swim" just now. Mrs. Cham berlain, ignoring all past scandal, calmly put society's opinion one side and went to the Dilkes because she had always admired Lady Dilke when that lady was Mrs. Mark Patti son, and she could see no reason to with draw her esteem and admiration because Mrs. Pattison had married Sir Charles Dilke.
 An American lady, long resident of Bir- mingham, remarked in the writer's hearing when the Endicott engagement was an- nounced: "Well, she will not do badly. Joe Chamberlain has the reputation here of having been the best husband to two of the plainest wives ever seen. He ought to be an angel to pretty one."
 Do We Need the Cafef
 From the Critic.l
 In reading Daudet's s'Recollections," which have just made their appearance here in an English dress, one is struck by the differ- ence between the life of the Parisian and the New Yorker. The cafe strikes the keynote of the French novelist's "reminiscences; in New York it counts for little or nothing in the life of the Hterateur. There is cafe at tached to 8 we'll known French restaurant here, which is quite like bit out of Paris, yet the artists and literary men who occa- sionally patronize the restaurant do not fre- quent it. know leading physician who does, however, and have heard him say that whenever he is worn out and in need of an entire change and rest he spends an hour or two in this cafe. With glass of wine on the little table in front Of him and the latest French paper in his hand, and hearing noth- ing but French spoken around him, he easily imagines himself in Paris. What he likes most is the repose of the place. No one not even the noiseless waiters-seem in hurry; and the men who play dominoes off in corner play though that were their one occupation in life.

THE IRISH CAUSE.

A scheme for the Establishment of a
 Lasting Benefit to the Poor Evfcted Tenants of Ireland-A Stock C0mPR.
 BY 10 be Incorporated by Americans
 BOSTON, May 5.-A number of prominent citizens of Boston, who have for long time been considering the question of how best to go to work to practically and lastingly bene- fit the poor evicted tenants in Ireland, have united upon plan for carrying out their purpose The full details of it cannot be given out yet, but they will probably be de- veloped in the course of few weeks. They feel that the hope of accomplishing anything lies in the possibility of getting the farmless people interested in some kind of industrial pursuit.
 The idea is to establish in one of the poor CT districts factory in which evicted tenants could find employment. It is proposed. therefore, to incorporate stock company selling the shares in all parts of the United States where there are natives of Ireland or friends of the cause to buy them. The men who are promoting the scheme recognize the fact that the ouly way for them to attain success h 1t Is to show their personal interest by going across themselves and getting operations fairly started. There would be no tilibusters in the party and it would be guaranteed that there would be no molestation of English manage ment of the unfortunate islands affairs. AS plans perfected, however, they will be submitted Jo Messrs. Parnell, Davitt and O'Brien for approval. It is proposed to manufacture boots. shoes, clothing and un- derwear. There is already an underwear factory in M9llingsr which is run upon this principle. It is in very fourishing condi- tion. Some of the stock is held by Boston friends ot the Irish cause, who in subscribing felt that they were doing more for their kin- dred than if they had merely given the money to the league fund.

A Northern Pacific Express Collides
 With a Freight Trafu-Two Lives
 Sacrificed.
 ST. PAUL, May 5.-A special to the Globe from Jamestown, Dak., says:
 The first section of the Northern Pacific westbound limited passenger train collided this morning with freight No. 16, thirty-six miles west. The collision occurred in a bend and the trains were almost upon each other before the danger was discovered. The fremen and engineers of both trains jumped. Engineer Bass of the passenger train broke his back and died almost immediately Fireman Keller of the passenger train and Engineer Beall and Fireman Kellum of the freight train escaped without serious injury. The postal car jumped the track and was g complete wreck. Both clerks were badly in, jured. They had to be dug out of tine debris. Chief Clerk Slattery of St. Cloud Minn., who was appointed under Cleveland, had recently received notification of his re- moval and was on his last run. His leg was broken and he sustained internal injuries, from which he died just after the train, which bore the dead and wounded to James town, left Windsor. The other clerk, Lounsberry, nephew of Colonel Lounsber. ry, the well known newspaper correspond ent, had his arm broken in two places and was badly scalded. Baggage Master Nich- ols of St. Faul, had his arm broken in two places. The train bore the usual number of passengers, but none were injured. Both engines and the mail and baggage cars left the track and were badly demolished. A number of freight cars were entirely destroy ed. Three cars were loaded with Washington Territory horses, which were killed outright or shot to relieve their sufferings.
