A story is going the rounds now which
would indicate every opportunity for
Sabbath school missionary work among
the members of the house. The other
day Gambler and Grimes, of Georgia,
got into an argument in regard to early
religious training. Grimes claimed that
the religious precepts taught in youth
were v forgotten, and that the cate
chism and verses of scripture then com
mitted to memory could be repeated
years after.
"Tn tell you what I'll do, Grimes"
said Gambler, 'Pn bet you $40 aver that
there isn't a man in this house can re-
peat the ten commandments without
making n mistake"
"Pn just go you" said Grimes. .Se-
lect your men" and the money was put
up.
Mr.. Gambler said he would select Rep
resentative Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
and Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia, both blue stocking Presbyte-
rians. Mr.. Breckenridge was called in
first and the bet stated. The silver
tongued orator of Kentucky studied a
moment and then said: Gentleman l
can't repeat the Ten Commandments
without a mistake" MI. Wilson was
then applied to, but the college professor
was also compelled to admit that his
memory was defective on that subject.
He got even with Gambler, however, by
saying: Il an willing to bet $40 that /
could have repeated any nursery rhyme,
and Gambler would not have been able
to tell the difference between it and the
Ten Commandments ."-Pittsburg Com

CINCINNATI, o, July 22.-Four peo-
pie were burned to death and several Sc
rously injured in a tenement house fire
here tonight. The four story brick at "A
Front street, occupied on the first floor as
a second land store by Solomon Menski,
aud on the upper floors as a tenement
house, were discovered on fire at IL
o'clock. An alarm was turned in. and
before the fire department arrived several
policemen did good work In getting the
unfortunate inmates out OF the building.
AS soou as the fremen arrived work was
vigorously prosecuted. but when the
flames were extinguished it Was found
that Solomon Meuski and wife and their
TWO young children were dead and Gus
Hitzwell, Misses Fannie aud Mary
Kassene seriously, and probably fatally
burned. Menski's family occupied the
rear end of the story directly over where
the FIRE is supposed to have started. The
people on the third and fourth floors, for
the most part, fled to the roef, but sew
eral were saved by the firemen. Some of
them were unconscious, having been over
com by the smoke. The only exit to the
street was a narrow. ricxety pine staircase.
which was one OF the first things to burn.

above list comprises all the casualties,
but until the ruins are thoroughly

A successful boring for honey has been
made in north Tennessee. For many
years swarms of bees have beer noticed
by boatmen at Fox Bluff, on the Cum
berland river, near Franklin, KY. The
bluff is ITO feet high, and the rivers
channel runs directly under it. The bees
have been observed about a big fissure
near the center of the bluff, and the
opening could not be reached from above
or below without great danger of being
stung to death. As the bees had never
been robbed, it was thought a large
amount Of honey was stored in the cliff.
Recently a well borer named Starks Wis
tied the bluff and was at once impressed
with the idea that he could reach the
wonderful honey s~torehouse with his
drill. After some coaxing he persuaded
a number of farmers to undergo the ex-
pense, and a three inch hole was bored
from the top of the bluff. At a depth of
ei~ghty-five feet the drill struck the
honey. According to a dispatch barrels
and tubs by the score were filled and
carried off to neighboring farms, and
the syndicate has sent to Louisville for
more Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

Mysterious Bank Robbery.

ST. JohN, N. B., July GA myster-
ions robbery at the Bank of Nova Scotia,
in Woodstock, has caused a great deal of
excitement. Forty thousand dollars were
taken from the vault and the accountant
of the bank. Robert G. Sanders, is locked
up charged with the theft. Saturday
Sanders was found lying on the floor of
the vault unconscious, the vault door
wide open. When he came to his senses
he said be had been instructed to 90 to
the bank early in the morning to get some
money out of the vault and send it AVA
by express on the 1880 tram. As he en-
tered the vault he was struck from be-
hind and fell unconscious without seeing
his assailaut- No one living in the vicin
ity of the bank saw anybody enter or de-
part therefrom. Many rumors are ah 1at
concerning the burglary. One is that
Sanders has a severe wound on bis head
which be said he received in the vault.
Another rumor is that the money stolen
has been returned to the bank and all
proceedings will cease.

Fire E,tInguished With Wine.

TOPEKA. Kan, July GA freight
train passed through the city on the
Atchison. Topeka K Santa Fe railroad
last night with a cargo that was probably
never equalled in value by that of any
train that has crossed the mountains and
plains since the transcontinental roads
were commenced. The train was drawn
by two powerful engines ana consisted of
ttirty-eight cars Of silk, wine. oil, and
sealskins. the latter portion Of the load
being registered on the way bill as wrrth
$92, 600. They are being taken to London,
England, to te Owed. and are a part of
the first catch Of the season. The silk
and tea formed pa tnfthe cargo OF a Pacific
mail steamship that arrived in San Fran
cisco a few d-ys ago and are consigned to
New York and London merchants. The
wine is from California and is consigned
to New York parties. There was also
two cars of California honey destined Tor
New York. The contents of the thirty
eight cars arc probably worth $500. 600.
On the way across the Mojave desert one
ofthe cars was derailed at the foot of a
heavy grade. A FIRE broke out and the
entire train was saved from destruction
by breaking open casks of wine and dash
ing the contents on the flames, while bales
of silk were opened and the rich fabric
thrown across the burning wood, spnother

War on the Canadian Pacific.

NEW YORK, July pa Victoria, B.
c., special says: 1t is now definitely set
tied that the Pacific Mail and Occidental
and Oriental Steamship companies mean
war to the knife against the Canadian Pa.
cifc. George Price, traffic manager Of
the first named company, is in Victoria
making arrangements to begin the fight
on its behalf. The Canadian Pacific first
declared its intention of running its
China teamers to and from the east by
way OF San Francisco, and has carried
out its threat by taking freight and pas
sengers for that port by the Abyssinia,
which will arrive there about the end Of
August. She will be followed BY the en-
tire Canadian Pacific feet in turn. To
meet this the American corporations have
determined 10 invade Canada.
Rice says: II am in Victoria now for
the purpose of arranging to run the
China steamers OF the Pacific
Mail Steamship company to and from
San Francisco by way OF either Tacoma
or Victoria. The probabilities are that
Victoria will be the point, at least for the
present. If your long wharf is soou
completed l will decide at once. and
probably appoint agents in this city be-
fore | leave here"
The first steamer which will be the
China, will arrive here from San Fran
cisco about Aug. 3, for China and Japan.
The first steamer from the other side will
leave Hong Kong today for Victoria.
She is the City of Pekin and has or gagged
both passengers and cargo for Victoria
and sound points. We do not intend
to do any business with our steamers be-
tween Victoria and San Francisco as our
relations with the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company are most cordial. As far
as regards the Canadian Pacific, we ex.
pect, before that line gets 10 new steam
ships. to get a good hold on the business.
We shall take no overland business over
the Canadian Pacific, but will send our
business over the Northern Pacific and
Oregon Short Line. What the policy OF
OF the Canadian Pacific will be is uncer-
tain. Three new steamers for that line
which are soon to be placed on the east
ern route. are rapidly approaching com
pletion in the British dock yards. The
contract requires the vessels to develop
eighteen knots on trial and sixteen and a
half knots on a 400 mile sea trip. 1t is
confidently expected by the builders that
this will be exceeded. No expense is be.
ing spared to make these vessels in every
respect equal to the very finest vessel:
