MONTREAL, Feb. 1S-Fire was discovered
in the large foundry of Peck, Benny & Co.
on Mill street, and after burning three bouys
completely destroyed the building and con-
tent. The loss is estimated at 100000 Soon
after a second fire broke out in James Me-
Dougalls big grain elevator adjoining the
burned foundry-the result Of negligence
somewhere in seeing that the first fire was
properly extinguished. Owing to insufficient
water pressure this fire was soon beyond con-
trol. Holes for the suction pipes had to be
cut through the ice in the canal. and It was
an hour before the engines got to work from
the hydrants. BY that time the whole top Of
the elevator was a mass Of flames ana the
roof fell in. Two flremen narrowly escaDed

Methods Designed to Obtain a General
Observance of the Rule.
The Merchants Protective Association
met last evening in the rooms of the
Board of Trade and considered the early
closing movement. A large delegation
from the Hudson County Labor Union
was present.
1t was resolved to prepare circular for
general distribution, which should set
forth that the Hudson County Labor
Union, representing various classes of en-
ployments, had resolved to use all its in
liuence to secure a more general observ-
ance of the established rule of early closing.
The circular will further state, that as
there are some merchants who have
united in the agreement to close their
stores at eight o'clock, "and have violated
their agreement, and thereby shown their
lack of honor in business and desire to
secure unfair advantage over their honor

KING. THE PENMAN.
A Jail Bird Whose Name Appears in the
Legislative Incidental Bill.

A Jail Bird Whose Name Appears in the
Legislative Incidental Bill.
Among those whose names appeared on
the legislative Incidental bill was John
A. King. He had engrossed the resolu
tionS commemorative of the sudden depart
ure of the late Asscmblyman Short from
things mundane and legislative, and the
two Houses voted him $50 for the work.
King is not unknown to fame in these
parts. He is slave to rum or opium, and
spends most Of his time under commit
ment in the County Jail or Penitentiary.
He sings magnificent pen and he is one
of the most skilful engrossers in the
country. He could easily make his fortune
II he would but stick to business, but the
moment he makes few dollars it is q big
bust and then term in one OF the
county institutions.
Some years ago his skill and his weak
ness became known to some soft hearted
people in the city, and an effort was made
to put him on his feet and keep him on
them. 1t lasted till he had got little
money inhis pocket, and then his feet, as
usual, began to give way under him.
The Legislatures experience with him
does not seem to have been different from
past experiences. He was let out of the
jail to engross the Short resolutions, and
when he had done them was promised $50.
He anticipated the payment, and induced
o friend to advance him the amount of it.
Yesterday the friend wanted to get his
money from the State and was anxiously
looking for Mr.. King that he might sign
an order on the State Treasurer for it.
81 guess you'll find him on the Island, !"
said Assemblyman Feeney to the anxious
money lender, ''if he is not in the County
Jail on the Hilln

MURDERED BY CLAIM JUMPERS.
Oklahoma's New City Already Getting a
Bad Name.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., April 9

ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., April 29, 1885,
A special from Guthrie early this
morning says that three men who
took claims there yesterday
were foully murdered about
five o'clock by claim jumpers. The names
of the assailants and their victims could
not be learned. A vigilance committee is
now securing the country in search of the
miscreants, who, it is said, will be sum
marily dealt with if caught.
CHICAGO, April %, 1SS9.-When the first
train arrived at Guthrie the town
site had been selected. 1t was on
the east side of the track, and
and 100 tents were standing, while twice
as many more town lots were staked out.
A rude post office was opened, lunch
tent was going at full blast and two
meetings looking to organization had
been held. Three or four hundred men
had done all this and they had been on
the scene two or three days.
They pretend to have complied with the
law, and declared that they did not take
up their lots until twelve O'Clock. They
had no right by the special laws under
which Oklahoma was opened, to be in the
Territory at all until noon yesterday.
On side track stood d Santa Fe direc-
tors car. In il were Judge Guthrie, for
whom the town was named; Judge Fos-
ter, the United States Marshal, and other
officers of the Federal Court at Wichita,
and some Topeka men.
They had been there ostensibly upon
government business, but really to secure
town lots, which they did in wholesale
quantity There We're 500 deputy mar
shals on hand, and each had a lot
Not only is this true, but the same
crowd, having its eyes on fine piece of
bottom land lying across the track from
the town, have been, in the most open
mockery of justice, securing the brush for
boomers that they might occupy it them
selves.
Whether the judges are parties to the
schemes of their Topeka guests, who are
more or less directly connected with the
Santa Fe is, of course, not known.

A Passaneer,s Story.

The sixty odd eastern bound passengers
of the i'll fated steamer Danmark, reached
New York from Philadelphia this morn,
ing, and were taken care of by the agents
of the Thingvalla Steamship Company
They were all of the better class of immi-
grants. They were without exception
well dressed and of q cleanly appearance.
Olof Wugeland and his wife, who
were bound for Worcester, Mass,
was one of the few English speaking
people in the party He is florist by oc-
cupation, and had been in America be-
fore. In conversation with reporter
this morning he made statement which
has not yet appeared in print in connec-
ton with the casualty.
He was told that his remarks were i'm
portant and detrimental to the steamship
company, but he adhered to his state
ment.
He said that before the accidentoccurre
the date he could not recall. but thought
it was on April l or 2, one of the Nor
wegian immigrants told him that he had
overheard conversation in the officers
quarters.
One of the ships officers had said to the
others in the apartment that he thought
the vessel would never reach New York.
Her machinery was in bad order
and had not received the care it should
have before the steamer sailed. Her
pumps were broken, and in case of acci-
dent would be found of little service.
''Im afraid the Danmark,n y the officer
is reported to have said, Twill meet the
fate of the Geiser" (The Geiser was q
vessel of the same line, sunk off Nova
Ccotio hxy a collision with the ThinOValla
about year ago.
Wugeland further said that
the vessels coal boxes were
afire on two occasions before
her machinery gave way. The first fire
occurred about ten o'clock on the
night of March 20, and the
second about half-past three on the after
noon of the following day. The passen
gers heard of both fires and showed more
nneasiness over the comparatively slight
accidents than when the vessel became
totally disabled.
