A Queer OccupatiOn.

An odd industry practised in this city
is that of making paste in large quanti-
ties. 1t is done by an old couple each
of whom is nearly eighty years of age,
and they live in the very heart of the
most bustling business portion of the
town. The old man was bookbinder,
and it was while in this business that he
learned the secret of preparing the eX-
cellent article that provides him liveli-
hood in his declining years.
Up three flights of stairs, with quaint
little carved banlsters hardly more than
an inch in diameter, are the rooms in
which they live and ply their trade.
Everything is as clean as a pin, and
when you have made your purchase and
seen it transferred from the huge
cauldron which hangs over the fire, and
that might do duty as property" IN
the witches scene in "Macbeth' the
compound is so clean and sweet that i|
looks positively inviting.
"Who buys it,"
Why, the paper hangers are the larg-
est buyers, and they recognize its excel
lence to such an extent that the old
couple live very comfortably on the
profits of their odd business. --Pjtia}c

BLIsTERED AND BURNED.
Thrilling Description of Hairbreadt
EsCaDes in Dakota.

Escapes in Dakota.
As the list of losses by prairie fires in Da-
kota increases, the description of hairbreadth
escapes are very thrilling In Yankton
county alone the damage is placed at $3.50
900. Near Rapid City, Prof. G.. i. Bailey's
ranch was destroyed. When a party of
neighbors drove through the binding smoke
to the.rear of the house an appalling sight
met their gaze. Standing in a little hollow
beneath the ruins of the house was Eloise
Madison, blistered and scorched and burned.
with hardly a shred of clothing upon her
The poor girl must have been in the condi-
ton in which she was found for at least
quarter of an hour. Her clothing save the
collar of her dress part of the stocking on
her right foot, and the right shoe, had been
completely burned from her body, which
pres santed an awful appearance, hardly a
spot upon her remaining unburned. Stand
ing unaided and conscious of her terrible
condition, she greeted the first person to her
assistance with this ejaculation: 'My God,
can't you do something for me" Strong men
shuddered and for a minute turned away,
but for a moment only, when ready hands
did everything that could be done
for her. At George Hunts place
the family ha Just seated themselves
at the dinner table when Mrs Hunt saw
sparks flying in the kitchen. The people in
the house threw blankets over their heads
and started from the building. By good for
tune all succeeded in reaching a place OF
safety. For 20 feet their path was through
a sheet of flame 50 feet high. Many of the
other farms in the same location barely es.
capped the wild flames which sped across tho
ground like flash of lightning. The wind
was blowing at the rate of 60 miles an hour.
Had the velocity of the wind been less, more
damage would have undoubtedly resulted.
AS it was the fire was confined to q narrow
strip of country, enabling those from the city
to beat out the flames by the aid of wet
sacks. Thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed within 10 miles of Free
man. Thirty-two families lost their home
only escaping partly clothed. Machinery,
grain, hay and a great amount of stock were
burned The unfortunate farmers are entire
ly destitute, and without food or shelter
In Douglas county the fire was one Of
the worst ever known. Marry farmers lost
w. Cline was burned, Mrs Cline perishinG
in the flames She was 20 years old, and was
the mother of the prosecuting attorney OF
Douglas county. Near Oakwood lake lives
Frank Goodfellow. He was away from homo
when the fire came. Mrs. Goodfellow and
three children heroically fought the flames
several hours, and then were forced to get
down on their knees while the flames pass d
over them Mrs. Goodfellow was so badly
burned that she will probably die. In B rule
county casualties are being reported daily.
Fully 100 families have lost everything, the
loss reaching S150,000 Two women were
burned to death near Chamberlain. 1t is re-
ported at the latter place that the fire was
started by the Indians on q reservation. The
| Crow Creek agency had narrow escape.

A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
Passengers in n Dakota Train Run
Through a Raging Fire.

The people on the passenger train from the
east on the st. Paul road, near Mr.. Vernon,
Oak, had terrible experience. A prairie
fire was raging around the track, and the
engineer, not knowing its exten', ran into it,
expecting to run through 10 safety in few
moments He found the fire getting worse,
however, and finally stopped but could not
run back, as the flames behind had made the
track unsafe. The pa sengers and train
hands got out and fought tho fire, but the
danger kept increasing. Finally the engineer
was forced to proceed, as to remain still
would have been fatal. 1t was feared that
the rails were warped, and the passengers
expected terrible accident, but after what
seemed a long period Of suspense the train
emerged from the smoke and flames safely,
Several of the passengers who had been
fighting the flames were painfully burned
The women passengers were terribly agitated
by their alarming experience

MORE NEWS FROM STANLEY.
Story Told by Arabs Doubted by
President Of Relief Committee

Story Told by Arabs Doubted by
President of Relief Committee.
Advices received at Brussels from S anley
Falls state that Arabs who hava arrived
there report that Henry NJ. Stanley and
Emin Pasha were heard from in February.
They were then marching toward Zanzibar
with several thousand men women and Chi
dren They also had 5000 tusks of ivory. In,
Arabs who brought the news arrived at Stan
ley Falls in February. They claim d to have
seen Stanley several months before that time
Sir Francis DeWinton, president of the Emin
Bey relief committee d ubts the truth Of
this story Supposing that Stanley reached
Emin at Christmas, Sir Francis thinks that
the story brought by the Arabs has travelled
too quickly to be a fact. He considers it
moro likely that it originated in discussion
of Emin's projects.

lending material assistance. Before the hur-
ricane burst every precaution had been taken
by the commander of the Calliope to render
the vessel secure. Five anchors had been
dropped, but when the storm was at its
height four of the anchor chains snapped and
the vessel began to drift. The captain
then determined to leave the reefs and, if
possible, reach the open sea. This he eventu-
at the rate of half knot an hour. IRE
mendous seas broke over the vessel, inficting
much damage, but fortunately. not , life was
lost. Thousands of people Hooked to the

WILLARD IS VICTOR.
He Wins the Battle for Con-
troll of Oregon Trans
continental,
Having, as He Says, Locked
Up 2O1,O 900 Shares in His
Strong Box.
One Of the Hottest Fights
Ever Seen on the Stock
Exchange.
Elijah Smith Neither Con-
fesses Defeat Nor Claim
Victory.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE last hour of
business in the New York stock ex-
change to-day marked the climax of one
of the most exciting chapters in Wall
street history, and closed the fiercest
fight that has ever been known on the
floor of the exchange. The prize for
which the battle was fought was the
control of the Oregon Transcontinental
company, corporation with capital
OF $40, 100000. and holding control of the
most important railways in the Pacific
Northwest. The control of the COM
pany is now held by Henry Willard, and
associated with him are the magnates
Of Red the Standard Oil company Baron
agent: Edward T. Abbott. john
Trevor, ". T. Colby and some
of the largest bankers in the city.
This aggregation of capital the enemies
of Willard worked against. The oppOSi-
ton included all the big insiders in the
Union Pacific road, Charles Francis
Adams. Sidney Dillon, Fred Ames,
Elijah Smith and others equally as
prominent. Elijah Smith had charge of
the campaign to GUST Willard, and pro-
posed tie take his place as he did once
before, when Willard went down in the
crash following the driving of the
golden spike on the Northern Pacific
road. For long time both sides were
active in quietly accumulating stock,
but-it was not until to-day, the last day
on which to register. stock to vote at the
election. that the supreme effort was
made. In the exchange all the regular
sales made ale not deliverable
until Monday. but lsales made of cash
stock had to be delivered before
2:15 p. m. Out of $4,000 shares of the
stock traded in to-day, $4,000 shares
were cash stock. and the price moved
up from 81 per share to 64H per share
before the exchange closed. From 40
to 45 the stock moved up per cent at
a time. Then it jumped 5per cent on
single transaction, and after moving up
per cent more made Jump of 9 per
cent to 60. 1t soon sold at 641S, the
highest point reached in six years. All
the time the trading was marked by in
tense excitement. and the Gay will never
be forgot by those who took part in the
dealings. After the registry books
closed Willard met Elijah Smith and
said: 81 have won. / have POI. 900
shares locked up in my boxes" Asthe
capital stock of the company is 100000
shares this would give the Willard party
LOCO shares majority, but Smith would
not admit that he was defeated although
he did not claim victory.
