LODGING-HOUSE BURNED.
Several Lives Lost by an InGsndiary
Fire al Spokane.

SPOKANE (Wash.), Aug. 10. AT $3.50
o'clock this morning the patrolman on Sec
ond street saw flames issuing from Conway's
lodging house. at, the corner Of Second and
Mill streets. He immediately turned in an
alarm, and the department responded at
once. But before an engine arrived the
building was a mass of flames and the in
mates were fleeing for their lives.
The k-and-ladder truck was immedi-
ately called into use to save the lives of the
inmates. Charles johnson, Mrs. Conway's
brother, man about sixty years of age, was
taken out through the second story window
on Mill street. lie had been suffocated to
death. His face was burned almost beyond
recognition.
Just across from him. on the east side of
the burning building, was a negro named
Washington, barber. His hands and arms
were terribly burned. the skin being entirely
peeled off. He will not recover.
A man named Green jumped from the
third story on the Mill-street side and is in
jured internally. He lay on the pavement
just across from the burning building, and
made pteOus appeals to bystanders to fetch
doctor. He can hardly recover.
A few yards from him lay j. Il. Dwyer,
another inmate, who had jumped from the
third-stOry window. His injuries were a
broken arm.
William Clifford jumped from the third
floor and escaped unhurt.
Frank Browne threw his trunk from the
second story aud jumped after it. The
trunk was smashed to pieces, but Browne
was unhurt.
The Fire Department worked hard, but
the building was almost entirely gutted be-
fore they reached 1t, and the structure be-
ing large three-stoTy Undertook, it took
them one hour TO get the fire under control.
Had there been west wind the entire block
would have gone.
The fire is supposed to have been of incen-
diary origin. There seemed to be no person
whose duty it was to attend to the sufferers,
as they lay on the street, their groans add
ing TO the panic OF the crowd.

The war-ship Pensacola arrived in port

CHINA MISSIONARIES.
Prayers for the Safety Of Rev. Joshua C.
Garrett and Wife

HANOVER Qnd.), Aug. 10.-Anxiety con-
corning the safety of the Rev. Joshua G.
Garrett and wife. who left their home in
this village in 1884 to engage in missionary
work in China, under the auspices of the
Presbyterian Board, and who have for sew
eral years past been stationed at Wahu, in
the southern part Of the empire, on the
Yang-tse River, the locality in which the
recent attacks upon foreign missionaries
have taken place, is strongly felt here.
When last heard of Rev. Mr.. Garrett and
wife, with other Protestant missionaries,
had taken refuge from native mobs in the
foreign customs building at Wahu, which
was being protected by the gunboat Palos.
Since that time no word or news has been
heard from them, and 1t is greatly feared
that they are in extreme danger or have
fallen victims to the lawless Kolls Heir
brotherhood, who are using the foreign aues-
ton for the purpose of disturbing the coun-
try by melting mobs and other acts of viO-
lence to bring about a change of govern
ment. A public meeting was held here last
week. which was presided over by the Rev.
DR.. Fisher. at which many fervent prayers
were offered for the safety and protection of
Rev. Mr.. Garrett and wife and all other
faithful missionaries in China.

who Will Be Chosen?

In Vienna, next year, says the New
York Mirror, there is to be held an
international musical and dramatic festi-
val, or exhibition. The event will be an i'm
portant one in the annals of the drama. and
the preparations for 1t are being made on a
magnitudin0us scale. AT present the plan
embraces the appearance of repre-
sentative actors from all nations that
have aided in developing dramatic art.
France will probably send the leaders of the
Coincide Franchise. Italy will be worthily
represented by Salvini and Rossi. England
will send Irving as her histrionic champion.
Germany will enter Possart in the lists. In
such an exhibition, the honor and credit of
America must be maintained. National
pride-not to speak of artistic consdera-
tions-demands that our stage shall send its
best dramatic products to compete with
those OF the rest of the world. But what
actor or what company can we

ago, In such an emergency, Edwin
Booth and Mary Anderson would
have occurred instantly to every mind. But
Mr.. Booths health Is now unequal to such
an exertlon, and Miss Anderson has de-
serted the stage. Where, then, will the
choice fall? There is large field to select
from. The candidates range from Ada Re-
han to "a Brass Monkey" 1t would be in
teresting to have the unbiased preference of

sional. on this interesting subject, and If
they will send In their views we shall be
happy to give them publicity.

LOST " HAPPY HARRY"
SaIyati0nists Seeking for an Adj.
jutant.

Somewhere between this city and Denver
there is q man of lowly stature, who wore
the red guernsey of Salvation Army SOL
der, and who is known wherever the army
is established as Happy Harry" Kerna-
han.
Happy Harry" is an exhcrter of rare
ability. and cannot only perform with con-
summate skill upon the humble tamborine,
but upon other instruments of music far
more complex in their construction. On
account of his many talents and the healthy
earnestness of his appeal to the wicked,
'Hrppy Harry" has earned the rank of
Adjutant in the army. and the Commander
of the forces on the Pacific recently commits
stoned him for service in this city.
He was IN Denver when the commission
reached him. and on Thursday he sent
word to the officers of the army in this city
that no would be with them on Sunday.
Preparations were at once made for his re-
ception, and great meeting was called for
last night at the new barracks, 1889 Market
street, when he was to have been installed.
Sunday came, but Happy Harry" lin
gered, The big barn-like barracks was
packed with worshpers yesterday night
and the platform blaZed with the red uni
forms OF the soldiers. but Happy Harry"
was not there. The exercises were as en-
thusiastlc as Salvation exercises usually
are, only little more so on account of the
crowd. and at 10 o'clock Major Kyle an
nounced that nothing had been heard of the
missing Adjuiant.
But the night was not suffered to pass
away without ceremony. A young lady
named jackson was called to the front of
the platform aud Ordained" if that is the
word that should be used, Lieutenant. The
Lieutenant had guitar slung across her
breast, and at the word from the Major she
set tho strings in motion and sung in low,
sweet voice hymn whose catchy tune was
quickly caught up by the audience and
rolled from side to side of the ball until the
gas-fxtures Jared and vibrated.
Just before the audience disnersed the
Major announced that S11OO had been col
lected toward defraying the expense of fur
nishing the hall. The total expense for the
work amounts to about $1,000, and an effort
VIII be made to secure the balance during

1.-The Galley S1arn.n

Mr.. Lewis Morrison's very successful sea-
son at the Alcazar is now drawing to n close
Last evening there was another change of
bill, when Barley CampbelPs well-known
melOdrama, :" The Galley Slave" was pre-
sented TO large audience. The IRON LIE
Bots has long been included in Morrison's
group of stage villains, and he puts
on the requisite coloring with the skill of
the accomplished artist. His opportunities
for intense acting which seems second
natu re to him are limited in the Baron, and
his success for this reason is all the more
commendabe. The supporting company
nobly seconded the efforts of the "star."
Mr.. William Beach, who, by the way, re-
ceiyed quite an ovation on his making his
temperance on the stage of this theater
after comparatively lengthy absence, was
cast for Sidney N0rcotte, the victim of an
Baron, and played in an earnest and
manly manner that secured for him
the hearty sympathy of the audi
ence. Mr.. L. r. Stockwell also
made his temperance in this play
and met with a very cordial reception.
Though light comedy is not Stockwell's
strong point, still his performance of Frank
lin Fits, "a well-intentioned young gentleman,
was very amusing. Mr.. Leo Cooper had
part in Oliver Oliphant that was congeuial
to him. Nick Long in Wellesley Napier gave
us the stage idea of an English gentleman.
Miss Florence Roberts in Francesca de
Rimini was called upon TO depict suffering
and misery-an unfortunate deserted by a
heartless husband, and in the varied phases
of the character she displayed capabilities
OF a high order. This young actress is
making rapid advancement in her art.
Miss Eleanor Barry appeared to much adj
vantage as Cicely Blaine, especially in the
scenes requiring strong treatment Miss
Fanny Young gave good performance of
Mrs. Phoebe Gay, and Miss Beatrice In
gram rs Psyche, her daughter, showed
some capacity for ingenue work, but both
these ladies, in their desire to give the
comedy its full value, oyerstepped the
bounds OF good judgment, and in their
into broad farce. THE Galley Slave" is up
