a Terrible Disaster.

QUEBEC, Sept. 20.-About 7:30 O'Clock
yesterday evening terrible land Glide oc.
Cured Immediately below Dutfsrin terrace
by which seven houses were crushed out of
shape and many people were killed and
wounded Immediately the air was filed
with dust so that no one could see ten feet
in front Ct him, and breathing WAS made
difficult. This was followed by the sounds
of timbers crushing and yielding to the Inn
mense power Of the avalanche, aud the
shouting and screaming of men, women and
children, in oil the agony of despair. The
avalanche was caused by the hot weather OF
the past few weeks cracking the earth and
rock, which were lcosened and driven down
by the heavy rain Of the past few days. The
debris soon caught fire, but the flames were
soon extinguished and the work of extriost
ing the unfortunates from the ruins was
commenced. Up to midnight six bodies
had been taken from the ruins. About S5
persons have been removed from the debris
badly rjured Some have broken arms and
egs, and others are badly crushed and mu
tilsted, II is supposed that at least $50
persons are yet under the ruins. The work
of excavating at the scene of the land slide
is still going on. The loss sustained by the
surviving victims is very great. Some Of
the working men who are deprived of their
homes lose all their furniture and other eff
fects. The Injured have nearly all been re
moved to the Hotel Deu, where they will
receive all possible care and attention. 1t
is known that at least 200 dead bodies still
remain under the pile of debris. Rescuing
parties are hard q, work but are meeting
with acci dents, as hugh masses of rock stll
continue to fall from the cliff. Mrs Black,
who was rescued, states that her husband
was killed at tho door OF their house ond
that his body is still in the debris.
AS large crevices have appeared and the
rain is still falling, last nights disaster may
be repeated. Over twenty bodies are lying
in the morgue. Several of the persons re-
ported missing bave turned up, but It is
thought that there will be ten or more vic
Tins to be added to the list.

TIE MAcKEREL FIsEERIEs.-There has
been great failure in the msckerel catch
this year. There has been marked de-
crease in the catch fthe past few years, and
various reasons are assigned for 1t. The
catch this year at Gloucester and Cape Ann,
is the smallest ever known, and the fisher
men are poverty. stricken and 10 despair.
Some say that the menhadsn fishermen are
responsible for the evil done. The menha.
den take up everything that comes to their
nets and boil the conglomerated mass
down for oil and fertilizers. Others claim
that the taking of spawn fish in the large
catches of 1884, 1885 and 1886 has resulted
in the present scarcity of the 6sb. by driv-
ing them to other spawning grounds where
they are not disturbed. -Ie-is also said that
