Thirteen in number, the heaviest weighed one pound, and was thirteen and one-half inches in length, the smallest one- half pound, and the fish were served at dinner Saturday at the hotel.
 Decoration day was duly observed in this place. The G. A.

Owing to the in clemency of the weather, the services were held in the M. B. church. Prayer was of fered by Chaplain Seagraves. Rev. MT. Hoisington, of North Coventry, delivered a very fine address, which was appreci- ated by the large audience. Brief remarks were also made by Revs. Quick and Pearce. Post Commander Pain had charge. The singing furnished by the M. B. choir was excellent. Gread credit is due to the la dies for the supply of flowers. Some had anticipated scarcity, but in this they were pleasingly disappointed, as it sur passed previous years in both variety and beauty.

LESSON SURROUNDINGS.

ing out of Jesus to cruciixion. But
before this, - probably Immediately
after the mocking mentioned in Marx
10 19,-Pilate made further attempts
to save his prisoner John 10 : 4-16y.
In the attire of mock royalty, Jesus Is
presented to the people, but they stin
cry ''Crucify him." PLATE argues with
them, but is frightened by the accuse
ton that Jesus made himself the Son
of God"
Another interview with the prisoner
led the governor to attempt his release,
but the Jews again demonstrated. The
final formal judgment by Plate was &C
companied by further mockery Of tho
Jews by the bafled governor, leading
them to answer in the language, SO pro-
phetic oftheir future for many centuries,
1--WE have no king but Cesar"
The place of the lesson was first on
the road from Pilates Prmtorium to
Golgotha, then at the latter locality,
the site of which is still greatly dis
puted, but which is treated fully in
these pages by Canon Tristram and DR..

The previous reports Of loss OF life, The
reports were circulated during the time
the flames were raging, and in the
great excitement subsequent. that a
large number of persons lost their lives
by falling walls. Careful and dilipent
inquiry thus far made show no lives
have been lost. While the flames were

Figures on the losses and insurance
are still largely guesswork. So far az
reported no dwelling houses were
burned, hence there are no homeless
women and children. Estimates of local
losses range all the way from $780,
900 to $4,000, 000. 1t is safe to say
that % per cent. of the loss will fall on
insurance companies. A spectator
