A STEP TOWARD UNION.
The Toronto Legislature Considering
Petition for Reciprocity.

Petition for Reciprocity.
TORONTO, Ont, April 3.-In the On
tario Legislature, last night, Mr.. Ora
ham, member for East Lambton, moved
that in the opinion of this House it is de-
sirable that closer trade relations
should exist between the United
States OF America and the Do
minion of Canada, and that
this House do humblv petition the Leg
islature of the Dominion of Canada l.
take such steps as they may deem eA
pedient to bring about unrestricted reel
America and the Dominion of Canada.
MIR. Graham said that in bringing this
important question before the House,
he was following the action Of the Cue
bee conference of 1887, and also of the
Manitoba Legislature, which recent
ly passed similar resolution.
He said tho matter had been discussed
ana favorably pronounced upon by
farmers institutes allover the province.
There was no use in concealing the fact
That the farmers were handicapped by
the prohibitory tariff which the Ameri-
cans had put upon our products, and II
something was not done to relieve the
farmers they would soon become bank
rupt. The United States was our natural
market, he said, and it was in the inter
est of the whole country that closer
trade relations should prevail. The
farmers were as loyal as any other men,
but they had right to ask that justice
be done them. If Canada tailed to gel
unrestricted reciprocity with the United
States he believed annexation to be hel
inevitable destiny.

A CONVENT In RUINS.
st. Joseph's Mother House, Milwau-
kee, Destroyed by Fire-One of
the Inmates Fatally and Two
Others Seriously Injured by
Jumping from the Windows.

st. Joseph's Mother House and no.
vitiate, corner of Greenfield Park and
Twenty-second Avenue, Milwaukee, was
ruined by fire on the 3lst. One Of the
sisters is dying from injuries received
in Jump ping from fourth-story window
of the blazing building. Two young
candidates were seriously injured by
jumping from tkird-story windows, and
two fremen were injured by falling
walls.
The convent was large four-story
brick building, with a frontage of l92
feet, and within ten minutes of the
time the alarm was given was mass of
flames, which had been quickly COM
municated to all parts of the structure
by the ventilating shafts. All of the
seventy-five inmates were gotten out
aged mother of Father Michaels, was
carried out.in tie arms of her son, but
for whom she would have persisted. OF
the other three, one was fatally injured
and two seriously.
Sister Blanche, whose name was An
CELIA Pappe, and whose former home
was Cross Plains, Wis, jumped from
garrett window, breaking one of her
legs in two places and two of her ribs.
She cannot survive.
Rosa Minnet, of Rastatt, Baden, q
young candidate, jumped from third
story window and received internal in
juries.
Maria Werner, of La Crosse. Wis,
also young candidate, jumped from a
third-story window, breaking her hip
and receiving internal injuries.
Lieut. Geo. c. Chase and Pipeman
Jacob Weber, OF the ire department,
were injured, but not seriously, by a
falling wall.
The convent was opened in January,
1888. 1t had been built by Contractor
DIui1ing. of Chicago, at cost of $40,
600. A few thousand dollars remained
unpaid, and the mother superior
brought suit againet Mr.. Druiding. In
her bill of complaint she charged that
poor material had been used, and that
the building had been erected in an I'M
workmanlike manner. Cracks showed
themselves in all parts, from the tact
that the walls began to settle. Cracks
of one and even two inches width were
visible on some of the floors. This suit
was decided two weeks ago, in favor OF
the plaintiff. She was awarded about
SIS 600.
Tie convent was a four-story brick
buii ding, with frontage or 1872 feet and
So feet deep. All its furnishings and
contents burned, and the total loss will
be $4,000. The building was insured
for 900. There WAS no insurance on
its contents.
The origin or the fire is unknown. II
was first noticed near the boiler room,
flames bursting through the ventilating
shafts, and quickly extending to every
part of the building. The extensive
ventilation shafts account for the fire
gaining SO much Roadway before the
presence of smoke was noticed.
At o'clock only part of the walls
were left standing; everything else had
melted away before the awful heat
Sister Alfonso said that the conven,
would be rebuilt as soon as possible.
Four or five years ago Sister Alexia
who formerly lived at Rastatt, Ger
many, inherited large sum of money.
Part of it she used in building and iur-
nishing the convent.

A New York Man With Three Wives Kills
One of Them.

New York Man With Three wives Kills
One of Them.
New YORK, April Harris 4. Smiler,
who killed his wife last night, at 2S4
Seventh Avenue, was arrested at l0:10
o'clock this morning, is now known to
have two other living wives from
whom he was never totally sepa-
rated. When quite young he married
a girl named Maggie Hears, whom he
deserted some years ago, and who
is now living in Harlem. Afterward
he married Mrs. Gates, a widow who
lives at All West Twenty sixth Street.
He deserted her about two years ago, to
marry the woman he killed last night.
She was a Mrs. Dranon, a widow with
two children, who had come to this city
from Poughkeepsie. While living with
her he frequently visited his second
wife, and the latter now has baby 6
months old. Smiler abused and beat
his third wife, and she had several
times had him arrested. She finally left
him altogether and took refuge with her
friend, Mrs. Wilson, where she was
killed. It is believed that SmiIer in
tended to kill all three of his wives and
then commit suicide. When told, after
his arrest, that his wife was dead, Smiler
answered.: Cali right, then | will hang.
Bury me IN the same grave with her"
Three years ago Smiler was soldier in
the Salvation Army. Since that time
he has worked in the mailing depart
ment of several newspapers.

cage.
An exciting hand-to- hand encounter
for 81, 500 worth of diamonds occurred
On the Sd in a room at the Palmer
House. Chicago. One of the combat
ants was a young man, who registered
at the hotel under the name of Ralph
Allen. He sent to Hyman q Co.'s jew
elry store, and several other similar
esta adjustments, asking that some
diamonds be sent him for in
spection. In making the request
Allen wrote incidentally that he
was confined to the hotel with a
sprained ankle. Salesman w. A. Bigler
was sent by Lyman & Go. to make in
uuiries concerning Alien. and found him
bathing one ankle with arnica and
wanting the diamonds to make pres
emf. The salesman was suspicious, but
decided to return with an assortment of
gems, and take the precaution to have
near at hand.
When Bigler re-entered the apart
ment with the $1,5OO assortment of
sparklers Allen made a careful selection,
and then hobbled around back of the
salesman, ostensibly to get money to
pay for the purchase. Instead, the fell
low pulled heavy cane from
under mattress and telled Big
Ter to the floor. The salesman, a
sturdy six-footer, struggled up and
grappled with Allen, meanwhile yelling
to the porter. Before the latter indi-
vidual gathered his wits Allen had
broken the cane in four pieces over
Bigler's head and dash he'd down the hall
way. To persons who tried to stop him
| he shouted: Catch that insane man."

the diamonds were lost. The prisoner
would not talk about his past more than
to say: "Before God this is my first

Sensational End of Carousal by
New York Floods.
MOUNT VERNON, N. Y. April 4.-Much
excitement prevailed in this village,
| this morning, over the announcement
that bold attempt was made to assas-
sinate f. W. Chivvis, well-known citi-
zen Of Mount Vernon, who was mem
Der of the late dry goods firm Of Conk-
ling d Chivvis, at Sixth Avenue and
Twenty-third Street, New York. The
most sensational reports were circulated
regarding the shooting. and it was said
that Mr.. Chivvis had been shot down on
the highway for the pupose of robbery,
it being generally known that he always
wore valuable diamonds.
On investigation it was learned that
Mr.. Chivvis. accompanied by Frank
Wright, principal of a public school in
New York, and Brewster Smith, the
well-known carriage builder of New
York. were out to dinner last night, and
that the shooting occurred while they
were returning home. Mr.. Chivvis'
residence is in that part of Mount
Vernon known as Chester Hill. It has
not yet been learned just how the
shooting occurred. The three men we're
evidently in merry mood, and it is
reported that Mr.. Chivvis was wounded
while skylarking with his companions.
This, however, ls not admitted by any
of tie three man. Mr.. Chivvis himself
says that he was shot On account of be-
ing mistaken for a burglar while at
tempting to enter house adjoining his
own residence by mistake. The per-
sons who know the exact facts of the
shooting are reticent.
Mr.. Chivvis was fired at twice, and one
bullet entered his right breast and
passed around the ribs to the back,
where it was extracted. The other bull
let passed through Mr.. Chivvis' cloth
ing. AS near as can be learned the
shooting occurred about 2:30 A. NJ. to-
day. Mr.. Chivvis was assisted into his
house by his companions, and
DIR. Thomas Taylor was hastily sum-
moned. When he arrived he
succeeded in extracting the bullet from
Chivvis' back. During the operation
Chivvis was under the influence Of NOR
phine. DIR. Taylor says that Chivvis is
resting quietly. He will not venture an
opinion as to whether the wound will
prove fatal.
