AN OLD TALE,

II. Il. Gardeners Drive Over the Bank of
Alameda Creek.
r. B. Gardiner, the somewhat eccentric
employe of Maurice Dore, a description of
whose habits was given in Yesterdays
CALL, met with a remarkable accident some
years ago.
Late or September Z, 1864. he, in company
with Jerome Rice, wel-known auctioneer
of this city, start, with double team to drive
to the Warm Springs Hotel. at that time
favOrite place of resort on the road batween
Alameda and San Jose. Darkness coming
on, they lost the main road near Alvarado,
and driving over the bank of Alameda
Greek, fell distance OF about twenty-five
feet
The unfortunate victims remained as they
fell for four days and nights without relief
or food. Mr.. Gardner was the first to come
to mis- senses, and started for help until lie
became exhausted. He tried to move but
found that one leg was broken. After much
effort lie managed to crawl to the top of the
bank and saw farmhouse at some dis
lance. He started for the place and was
two days and nights and part of the third
day in reaching MIR. Overacker's house.
This gentleman and his family went at once
10 the scene of the accident Mr.. Rice was
in ii dying condition. When he was taken
up all he could say was: How hard it is
to lie here and die. How far is it" He
never recovered consciousness and died the
following day.
One of the most painful features of this
accident remains 10 be told. The wife of
MIR. Rice was expected to reach this city by
steamer from Panama at any time, and the
news of his death had hardly been received
when the steamer was announced as coming
through the Golden Gate. Among the peo-
pie present at the wharf to see the incoming
travellers was a friend of Mr.. Rice, who was
so overcome with the shocking details that

anXiously looking for her husband. With
out moments hesitation the oyerZealous
friend seized the ady's hands and broke the
news that she was a widow. The cruel blow

A DISLOYAL BRITISHER.
He Demolishes Wax Counterfeit Pre-
sentiment of the Queen.

He Demolishes Wax Counterfeit Pre-
sentiment of the Queen.
AT the Theater Musee. Toronto, few
days ago, quite a number of people were
gathered around some beautiful wax repre-
sensations of Queen Victoria, the Prince of
Wales and Mr.. Gladstone. In the crowd
was a Mr.. Sampson, citizen who is patri-
otto enough when sober, but something of an
annexationist when in his cups. He hap
pened to be intoxicated on this occasion.
Pushing himself TO the front of the little
crowd, he thrust himself into the royal
presence. Hastily disposing of the venera-
BILE Liberal leader by kick, Sampson at
once proceeded TO forcibly deihrone her
Majesty, opening the attack with a sound
ing slap on the side of her face. Having
further disposed of the sovereign with
sundry kicks and cuffs he turned his atten-
ton to the Prince of Wales, and in less
time than it takes to tell it he fairly demol-
ished his Royal Highness. About this time
Sampson was taken charge of by the Musee
people, to whom he explained his conduct
by saying, You see, am an annexation
list; guess every one will know that now. I"
He had done damage to the royal family to
the extent of $500. the Musee people said,
and they had the satisfaction of seeing him
fined $40 in the police court next day.-Chi-

NINE PEOPLE BURNED.
Rochester, Pa, the Scene of a Midnight
Holocaust-A Girls Desperate Leap
Inmates of a Huge Frame Structure
SuffOcated in Their Beds-Only One
Survivor-Theories as to the Cause of
the Fatal Fire.

ROCHESTER, Pa, April 6.-Fire broke
out about midnight in large frame
building occupied by F. ]. Keene as a
dwelling and shoe store, Mrs. A. Hall
as millinery store, and George Ed
wards as tea and coffee store. The fire
started in the kitchen of Keene's
residence, and he and his son Walter
were overpowered by the smoke and
were not discovered until too late to
save them. A number of Italians occu-
pylng the upper rooms of q portion of
the building were burned to death, with
the exception of one of them, Marie
Tecchio, girl Is years old, who escaped
with slight injuries by leaping from an
upstairs window.
The Tecchio girl gives the following as
the names of those who lost their
Anna Tecchio, her mother; Bap-
Fannie Tecchio, her sisters; John
Tecchio, her brother, and Josef
Rampatein, a boarder. A shoemaker
named Keene and his son were also
victims of the fire. Their bodies are
the only ones out of the nine recovered
that could be identified.
The sum Of $3.50 in gold wassfound in
the ruins, and the Italian girl says there
are still $500 in the ashes.
Maria Tecchio, who escaped by jump
ing from the second story, although not
seriously injured, is Frustrated. She
talks incoherentlv, and seems to re-
member but little of the frightful
struggles of her kinsmen. She says
that when she awoke the fire was burn
ing below and their rooms were filled
with smoke. She slept in the back
room, her mother and the children in
the middle room, and her father and his
brother, Victoria Tecchio, and Josef
front room. Maria tried to rouse her
people, but they were already asphyx;;
lated. She stayed until the fire burned
her and she was compelled to jump for
her life from window.
AL the bodies have been recovered.
They are now lying side by side in adj
joining buildings. The 81 ht of the
row of blackened bodies is horrible.
Annie, the baby, had one foot and an
arm burned completely off. The others
are all fearfully mutilated.
There IS no definite evidence as to
how the fire started, but it is the opin-
ion of the authorities, and it seems to
be the correct one, that lamp left
burning by Mr.. Keene in his kitchen
exploded and fired the house. There
appears to be no indication of lncendiar-
ism.
The total loss is $4,000, which is fully
covered by insurance.
A revised list of the dead is as follows
C. J. Keene, aged 40; Walter Keene
his son, aged 7; Baptiste Tecchio, aged
40; Annie Tecchio, aged 35, his wife
Yosef Tecchio, aged 10; Rosa Tecchio
aged s; Annie Tecchio, aged 3. Vic
torio Tecchio, aged 81, brother of Bap'
tisto; Joseph Raema, aged 30, place o.
residence unknown.
