sHRGB OAK SWEPT BY FIRE.

Flames Destroyed Nearly the Whole
 Buslness Portion of the Town.
 SHRUB OAK, N. r., May 9.-This village was visited at @ late hour last night by a con- fagration which destroyed almost every bus- mess house in the place. At Il o'clock an explosion was heard in the oil room in the rear of the oil and grocery store of Gilbert Darrow on Main street. Within few min- utes flames burst from both the rear and the front of the store, and the members of the Darrow family, who slept in the rooms above, had narrow escape from death. Miss Annie Darrow, the daughter of the owner of the building, was carried out unconscious, but she revived in the open air.
 With the first intimation of the fire some body set the bell ringing and the entire pop ulation turned out to fight the flames. There is no engine company at Shrub Oak, and the best the citizens could do was to form 8 bucket brigade. Despite their efforts the fire gained headway, and very soon the Darrow store was mass of flames.
 The losses are estimated as follows: J. O. Darrow, dealer in dry goods, lost $30, 900 on his building and $4. 900 on his stock. The Lea shoe building was damaged to the extent of $1 800, and the stock received damage of $500. The Methodist church was damaged to the extent of $1 ,000. Gilbert Darrow, grocer, lost $5, 900 on his building and S, ,00O on his stock.

 SYDNEY, N. s. w., May o.-Dr. Knappe, late German consul to Samoa, has arrived here on board the German steamer Lubeck. Advices from Samoa to April 30 state that the natives are quiet. The position of the hostile parties is unchanged. Admiral Kim- berly of the United States navy, on the sug- gestion of Mataafa, tried through Dr. Knappe to persuade Tamasese to agree to peace. Tamssese declined to agree to the proposition unless he was recognized as king. Admiral Kimberly thereupon issued proclamation urging the natives to maintain peace.
 The steamer Brockton, which will convey 450 men belonging to the wrecked American warships to San Francisco, was ready to leave and was expected to sail on May from Apia. Eighty men will remain with Admiral Kim berly at Apia. The Nipsic was fitted with a new rudder and was about to start for Auck- land. Herr Stuebel, the newly appointed German consul, has arrived at Apia.

Dead in a Charcoal Pit.

GUILFoRD, May 9.-It has been discovered that Horace Hawley, charcoal burner of North Guilford, aged 73, was burned at his pit on Saturday last. He lived in hut near by.

ELEPHANTS ON A RAMPAGE.

 Chieagoans Treated to a Free Circus
 For Three Hours.
 CHICAGO, May 9.-Last night two of Gre- nier's elephants escaped from their quarters at the corner of Ann and Randolph streets, and for three hours made life burden to the citizens residing between Ann street and Garfield Park. Their keepers used every means in their power to check the excited beasts in their flight for liberty, but were unsuccessful until they reached Garfield Park.
 The elephants stampeded horses, frighten- ed women and children and made pedestrians in general hustle to get out of their way. Buggiss were turned over, cabs brushed aside, trees shaken to their roots and window panea rattled as the elephants msdly rushed through the streets to Garfield Park, where they were captured shortly, after. 10 o'clock by the keepers, who had been assisted by the West side police: There was no great damage done save to shrubbery and flowers in Union and Garfield parks. These were badly trampled down.

WILL THE times" WITHDRAWN
That's the Question in London To-day.
PIGorT's SHAMEFUL ADMISSIONS.
Everybody Comedies that the 'sTimes'"
Case Is Utterly Wrecked.

Special Cable DisTstch 20 The EvESTSG star
LoNpoS, Feb. 2s.-There are only two topics
OF general conversation to-day. The first is,
will the Times throw up its case?" and the
second, "will Pigott definitely confess TO forg-
ing the letters?" II he does not he viii end
his days as q convict in prison. The Duly
Chronicle, a unionist organ. is sur
prised that Pigott was not arrested
after yesterdays proceedings. The Tee
graph says: ''Pigott has hopelessly, irrevocably
collapsed. Nothing on earth could ever ex-
plain away the degrading admissions made by
him in open court yesterday, to the uncon-
cealed disgust OF all who heard his e1traordi-
nary confession. His evidence has been fairly
blown TO the four winds OK heaven" This ex-
presses the general disgust and despair OF the
unionists. Pigo;t's blaekmailing OF Forster.
the patron saint Of the unionist cause. is spe-
cially irritating. Whether or not he confesses,
nobody attempts TO deny that
THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE LETTERS Is DESTROYED.
and much commiseration is felt for the ex-
perts who are pledged 90 the other view. The
Times will insist upon calling them as
proof OF its own boda fdes. II is
universally believed that IL this were a
private case the encouragement would now
throw mp his briefs of the case. The costs of
the Itn"s ere tfOO as daily minimum. The
thus cost already double the original price OF
the letters. The Parnellite side Is anxious the
case should continue. except that the funds
may fcli. Thirty-seven thousand pounds have
been collected. and twice that amount is
wanted. The witnesses for the defense include
liberal ministers. all the leading patriots OF
Ireland, and the whole Irish hierarchy.
Amongst those tarred by Pigott's brush is Mr.
Matthews. the home secretary, whose election
to an Irish constituency at siHty-eisht is alleged
to have been due 10 Pigott.
THE GOVERNMENTS USESyIABLE POSITION.
The tory members in the lobby are eagerly
discussing the Parnell case to-day. An infiu-
ential tory said that he would give anything
to extricate the government from all COM
phcity with the Times. This IL impossible,
owing TO the double position OF the attorney
general. Influential unionists before the trial
tried TO induce HIM TO return the briefs. but in
vain. The government are, therefore. mex
tricably committed to the Times. Ii is proba-
BILE that there may be AN outburst of popular
indignation against the government which NAV
cause a catastrophe.
