Wheeling slaughters the Dayton limo.
cents, Yesterday.
The Dayton team made their first appear
ance on the Island base ball park yester-
day afternoon, and they were literally
slaughtered by the home team to the tune
OF nineteen TO four. This was revenge
number one, and if the home boys can
keep up their pace they will treat Dayton
to dose OF her own medicine without the
sssistancs of home umpire. Both teams
bad been riding all night and were really
not in first class shape to play ball, but the
three hundred people present certainly
saw long enough game, in fact it was too
long, and many got tired and left before
the close.
Kennedy was in the box for Wheeling
and the visitors could do nothing with his
delivery, except in the fourth inning
when three singles and double netted
them three runs. Wheeling had but five
scores herself at this point and thing
looked little scary, the only time in the
game when it did look that way. But il
the sixth the boys got their eye on the
ball, and with five singles, a base on balls
three-bsgger and wild throw or two
they got eight men over the plate.
Mr.. Wood, who had been officiating
for the visitors as pitcher, was then taker
out of the box and the game was pitched

cut the tumor from his liver, sewed the in

morning to brother physicians, and has
since entirely recovered. His use of coca

The Town Of st. Sauvsuru Wiped 0ut by Flames
Two Lives Lost, 1900 Houses Burned and
5000 People Dependent on the
Charity Of NsigAbOrs.

QUEBEC, May 16.--A disastrous fire
broke out early this morning in st.
Sauveuru, in the house OF Mrs. McCan on
Valerie street The flames spread with
great rapidity through the wooden district
which surrounded the place where the fire
originated. The people we're dismsyed at
the rspidity with which the flames jumped
from one wooden building TO another. ST.
Sauveuru had but poor fire department
and il could make no hesdwsy against the
flames Help was asked from this city, and
Quebec engines we're quickly sent, but
owing to a lack Of water their efforts ere
crippled Battery B was finally called ont
and rendered valuable assistance in fighting
the flames.
While the military we're preparing to
blow up some house 10 meek the spread of
the flames, a premature explosion took
place in one of the houses, killing Major
Short and Sergeant Wallack, of Battery D..
Both were buried in the ruins and at 8
o'clock their bodies were recovered.
The fire was still burning at four p. 10,
and no hopes were entertained of stopping
it until the open country WAS reached.
Already about 500 buildings, mostly wood
en- tenements, had been burned and over
1000 people rendered homeless The great
er portion of them camped ont in the fields
with what few effects they we're able to
save, while a few found shelter with
friends
The fire burned itself out after reaching
the limitd of st. Ssuvier, the toll. gate
keepers house in Valcer street being about
the last to g3 the district north and
west of Massue and 81 Ambroig streets
has been swept clean, with the exception
of portion of Vslcer stTeet. About zoo
houses were burned As many OF
them were tenements. The number OF
families homeless is not less than l, 200,
comprising 1000 or 5000 persons. Hon.
Mr.. Mercier aud other prominent men are
interesting themselves in behalf of the
homeless people. Application has been
made to Sir A. p. Csron for the use cf a
drill shed and other government build
ing4 to shelter those who are yet camped
out in the fields. The clergy are dis
tribuling food, and steps are being taken
to organize system of relief. The ma
ority of the people are OF the laboripg
class, and as the insurance rates were very
high, few have anything to fall back
upon.

Too High.
TITUsvILLE, Pa, May 16. The hear
ing before the Interstate Com mission WI
resumed at o'clock this morning at City
Hall. The following is Il summary of the
evidence givea in direct and cross-exsm'
ination:
Mr.. Demig, of Oil City, independent
refiner, was the first witness examined.
He gave a statement of the cost of refining
oil, annd terrified that refners had always
had reasonable freight rates till last Sep
tember.
Mr.. Byles, another refner. of OIL City,
corroborated the testimony Of The preced-
ing witness.
Mr.. F. Tackek, proprietor Of the Amer
lean Oil Works, of this city, gave testi-
mony that the W. ~ Y. & p. K. r., in his
iudglneht. favored the Standard OIL Com
pany at Rochester by making low ratel on
crude to Rochester and high rates on re-
fined to same point.
At the afternoon session W. S. Mather-
well, manager of the Green Line, testified
that under all circumstances the barrel or
package containing the oil was shipped free.
w. G. Warner, secretary of the National
Company, OF this city, testified that old
rates did not include lighterage; present
rates did. Rates 10 New England were 80
high that it prevented them from maj rket-
ing their oil profiably in New England.
The advance in rates and premiums was
simultaneous. He thought that 10 or II
cents per barrel woud be an ample rate Ia

rate continues refiners will have to quit
