Quite a number of families will move
from Ontario to Grenfeu, and other
points in Eastern Assiniboia early in
the spring.
Since September last twenty-seven
families have left Michigan and secured
new homes in Manitoba and the Cana
dian Northwest.
A short time ago a caravan of five
wagons bearing the families and house
hold effects of a number of French set
tiers passed through Morden, Manitobs,
on their way to new homes near Car
man, Manitoba. These settlers had
driven all the way from Kansas.
Mr.. f. Burnett, of Craiglea, Manitoba,
lately sold 800 acres of land to two Cana
dams who eight years ago emigrated to
Dakota, but who have now decided to
locate in Manitoba, being satisfied that
the Canadian country offers the best
chances.
Every indication points to an i'm
mensely increased settlement in the
Canadian Northwest next season. The
manifold advantages of the country are
now better understood and practical
farmers and others anxious to better
their conditions in life are turning to
the Canadian Northwest.

"A Case Where the Joke Was Carried Lit

A rOsy-cheeked young IriShman came
sauntering down the street. He was
dressed in his best and was evidently
out for holiday. Just before he

hands warmly all around.
After they had conversed for some
minutes about the affairs of sundry
aunts and cousins, Maggie, with AZ sly
wink at her female companions, re-
marked:

New YORK, Jan. 3.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says: The
new year opens with SO much of uncer-
tainty that there is a natural disposition
to dwell upon the browning records of
che year just closed, which show an ex-
traordinary volume of business, in
many lines surprising all precedent.
drOn, cotton. leather, boot and shoe and
meat productions were larger than in
any previous year. Thus 2,219,312 cattle
were slaughtered at Chicago, against
1,763,310 in 1899, gain of 25 per cent.
and 5,733,0S2 hogs, against 4,211, 767 in
1889, gain of SO per cent. At Boston
3, 535, 211 cases of boots and shoes were
shipped, against $500, $50, a gain of
per cent The clearing house exchanges
show that the volume of all business in
1890 exceeded that of any previous year
by at least 10 per cent, though in part
this increase was due to the higher
range of prices during the greater part
of the year. The advance in prices of
all commodities, compared with a year
ago, is o6.6 per cent, and the average
has been about 5.5 per cent. higher for
eight months.
The reports from other cities are al
mosS uniformly confident in tone and
indicate a good volume and fair condi-
ton of trade. The South rejoices in
1reat crops and wonderful manufacture
ing growth and for the moment no great
financial pressure, good holiday trade
and bright hopes.

ESCAPED CUsTER'S FATE.

The Late Fight With the Indians Came
Near Being Second Custer Massacre.
RIBE RIDGE, S. D., Jan. SIT is evil
dent that the Seventh cavalry barely es-
capped the tragic fate of Custer in the
bagtle of White Clay creek. The troops
had passed Che Catholic Mission and
were dismounfed in the big valley, one
and one-half miles wide, just beyond
the school. At the end Of this valley
is canyon, elot over seventy
five feet wide ana 500 yards
long, opening into a circular park. 1t
was che object of the Indians to draw
the troops into this small valley The
soldiers were getting ready to make
rush on foot for the top of the hill when
the cry arose that they were surrounded.
Advancing now in one. now in another
direction on either side of the valley,
they found themselves opposed each
time by from 200 to 800 Indians. Soon the
hill began to swarm with from 1,S0O to
1900 warriors, and in twenty minutes
more the tragedy would have begun,
when the untiring Ninth rode in, as
they code before at the time of the
Meeker massacre, attacking furiously
the rear of the savage horde, scattering
them in every direction. Before the
enemy could rally from their confusion,
the boys in blue withdrew to Pine Ridge

A NEW YORK FIRE.

The Fifth Avenue Theater and Many Other
Buildings DestrOyed-Six Firemen Re-
ported Killed.
New YORK. Jan. 3.-Fifteen minutes
or so after Fanny Davenport, in the
character of Cleopatra, had left the
boards of the Fifth Avenue Theater and
the audience had passed out of the
Broadway and Twenty-eighth street en-
frances last night Waterman ran ont
OF the theater screaming fire" A few
seconds later fire engines were dashing
up Broadway and until nearly o'clock
this morning still more detachments
were responding to additional signals
for help.
What was at first believed to be a
false alarm proved to be one that de-
stroyed whole block upon Broadway,
besides the Fifth Avenue Theater, Herr
mann's new play ohouse and dozen
stores and threatened the Sturtevant
House, on the east side of Broadway
between Twenty-eighth and Twenty
ninth streets.
The fire had been burning less than
half an hour before the flames shot
through the roof, causing the widest
CONSERVATION among the guests of the
Brewer House on the northeast corner
and the Sturtevant House. The shower
of sparks which covered the pavement
of Broadway also set fire to the avn
ings of the latter and communicated to
Hermann's Theater. To add to the con-
fusion there were six explosions in the
Fifth Avenue Theater, which blew the
rafters Sky high, and these set fire to
the roof OF the buildings surrounding
The first of the series Of explosions
which are thought to have been caused
by the bursting of gas tanks, came very
near being serious affair for a dozen
or more fremen under the leadership
of Battalion Chief McCabe, who were
working in the auditorium of the Fifth
Avenue Theater.
There were several lively scenes in
the Brewer House, but there was no
panic. The front of the Fifth Avenue
is of iron and as the beams vanished it
was feared it would fall out and crush
Evarard's bath house on che soufsh side
OF Twenty-eighth street, but the walls
are still standing.
According to the Herald six fremen
lost their lives by the fire in the Herr
mann Theater. The Herald story is as
follows: ''Six fremen had gone
through Herrmann's Theater to the
roof and had just succeeded in hosting
a length of hose up when the furnace
opened directly at their feet. Five
OF them could not be seen from
the street, but one stood outlined
against the sea of flame that rose from
the burning buildings. A shout was
made for scaling ladders by the fremen
on Broadway, but before they could be
procured the firemen was seen to take a
farewell look at the crowd below and
then to deliberately walk into the
flames and disappear"

CANADIAN NORTHWEST NOTES.

An important feature In immigration
into Manitoba during 1890 was the in
fux of settlers from Dakota A number
of these were Canadians who had be-
come discouraged by a succession Of
poor crops and decided to return to their
own country. Settlers from Dakota
drive across the international boundary
into the Canadian Northwest, all along
the frontier, being anxious to share in
the prosperity of what appears to be a
marvelously productive country.

PINE RIDGE.

General Miles Assumes Commond-Buria
OF the Victims Of the Late Bloody En-
counter.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. "A special to
the Bee from Pine Ridge agency says:
General Miles has assumed command
of the forces here, relieving General
Brooke, who started yesterday morn
ing into the field with the Second in
fantry and Ninth cavalry, going by way
of Oelrich's to point some fifteen miles
north of here, where General Carr is
now supposed to be.
<s'One hundred and thirty-five Indians
of Two Strikes band came in yesterday
and joined American Horses camp.
They reported to Captain Ernest and
he issued them rations.
Reports sent out that General Brooke
had been relieved by General Miles are
untrue. General Brooke will remain
IN command. Reports of a massacre,
rumored at Denver and Salt Lake, are
also untrue.
Yesterday amid as wild, binding
and bitter wintry storm as ever swept
this bleak and barren country were laid
to their last rest thirty of the brave
boys who fell face to the foe in the en-
counter at Wounded Knee. It was 2
o'clock before the funeral cortege, with
General Forsythe and Major Whiteside
at its head, and composed of fifteen
wagons bearing the rude1y coffined
dead, followed by an escort of COM
panies A, K, B, 1, d and E of the noble
but unfortunate Seventh cavalry, to-
gether with an assisting squad from the
Second cavalry, wound away from the
camp up to the little cemetery situated
at the crest of the hill northwest
OF the agency. The surviving members
OF the fated company K looked lone
some enough with their fearfully
thinned ranks. The vacancy SO strik-
ing in contrast to the rest of the column
caused the tears to start in the eyes of
many cOmrade for the comrades lost.
The graves were in rows of six close to-
gether in the southwest corner of the
cemetery and overlooking the camp.
After the reading of the burial services
by Rev. Mr.. Cook, the Episcopal clergy
man here, aided by his assistant,
the bodies were lowered into the
graves. Owing to the immensely critical
condition. of the surroundings with
hordes of the enemy f1ocking about the
agency threatening an attack, the usual
salute of guns was omitted, while soft
notes from the bugle and the wall Of
the storm whispered the last goodbye.
