mates Killed.
The insane asylum at Tongue
Pointe, nile miles from Montreal
caught fire at eleven 0 clock on Tues
day morning aud was soon mass Of
flames, with no hope of saving the
building from utter destruction. AS
near as can be calculated from 100 to
$50 insane inmates were caught in tho
building with no chance of escape
The ire apparatus OF the asylum was
utterly inadequate to control the
Hamcs and several steamers were
forwarded from Montreal on special
train. The sights III the grounds
surrounding the asylum were hor1i-
bic beyond description. Hundreds
of lunatics, male and female, were
groupedtogether in frienzied condi-
ton. The nurses made every effort
to allay their fears and as rapidly as
possible the poor creatures were re-
moved 70 places of shelter in the
neighborhood.
At few minutes past two o'clock
detachment of the Montreal fire
brigade arrived on the scene. The
excitement among the lmnatics in the
grounds finally became so great thai

The cowhiding was very deliberate

her husband at her side, Mrs. Cullum
began to use the cowhide vigorously.
Great excitement and confusion pre-
vailed. Mr.. Altmayer rushed up to
Fantels rescue and Cullum dealt him
several blows. so Altmayer says. Cul-

it or exchange Mrs. Culun says he

THE FINAL TEST.

He was kindly assisted by the pro-
prietor, AIr. Todd, who turned over
his factory and help to him, and At
the end OF three days the jute ma
chinery turned out roll OF cotton
stalk bagging that was pronounced
by Nh. Todd equal in every respect
to the demands al the cotton planters
and the trade for cotton covering.
It is some of this roll that's now
creating such a profound sensation
in cotton circles here.

and half q million more on the State
University, Agricultural College and
schools for the deaf and dumb and

from the sale of pulic lands and

which is above the average for the

It does sound too good to be true
that the cotton stalk which has had

SOME FACTS ABOUT IT.

edto theutilization of some one ofour
many native fbrous plants as com.
petitor of the iute article. he rlgged
up crude machinery at his home IN
Harrisonvine and for the past SIX
months has been experimenting. The
cotton stalk rewarded his efforts by
being found susceptible of treatment
in his machine which separated
a fine fiber, resembling iute in every
respect, from the gum and skim OF
the stalk.
He grew sanguine as this fiber was
subjected to first one and then al,
other test and holding his counsel
went diligently to work preparing g
quantity of this. About two weeks
ago the Chronicle printed a personal
mention of his departure for New
York. With him he took his new
found fiber. At the iute bagglng
