Embden.

Our quiet little town was terri
bly, shocked last Thursday, over
the sad and sudden news that DIN
Williams, one of our smartest and
most enterprising young men, was
suddenly killed while at work in
the woods for E. P. Viles on Tim
Pond township, ten miles north of
Eustis. He was hauling logs off
the yard with a pair of horses. In
attempting to stop log that was
rolling from the yard onto the sled
he was thrown over it and caught
between the log and sled, killing
him instantly. He was tender'y
and lovingly cared for, and imme.
diately brought home, to his be-
reaved father and mother, broth
ers and sisters. We extend our
sympathy to the family, and feel
as if we had lost dear friend and
companion, as he was q favorite
among all, and full of life, he will
be mOurned for and missed by ev-
cry one. He was 20 years, d
months, 20 days OF age.
A CARD.-We wish to express our
heartfelt thanks to our neighbour and
friends who hsve 20 kindly assisted rs,
and sympathixed with US, In our hour Of
grief, over the loss Of our dearly beloved
son. And especially TO those who 20
kindly and lovingly brought him home,
and rendered him 70 his last resting place.
We feel 10 owe them debt We can never
pay.

wORK-HOUsE SCENE.

Twenty-Five Female Prisoners Engage in q
walls and Escape.
1t has just leaked out that free-for-
oil fight occurred among the female
prisoners at the Claremont work-house,
Pittsburgh, Pa, Saturday night. Two
women in the knitting department had
a quarrel, which resulted in an incip-
lent riot, friends of both women inter-
fering and taking opposite sides. For
about half an hour the twenty-five
infuriated prisoners fought each other
fiercely, scratching one another's eyes,
tearing each others clothes nearly off,
and pounding an adversary wherever an
opening occurred. The three matrons
in charge could do nothing with the
women, who acted like wild animals.
Half dozen male officers of the prison
were finally summoned by matron,
who succeeded in escaping from the
room, and the belligerants were placed
in dungeons. During the night two of
the worst prisoners, Maude Hutchinson
and Mamie White, escaped from their
cells, their doors being carelessly left
unlocked. They scaled twenty-foot
wall to liberty, and have not yet been
apprehended.

THE BRITISH FEAR
The Annexation Movement In
Canada,
And Is Investigating the Defense Of the
Dominion, With . View to Defend
Ing It at the Point of the Bay
onet and the Muxzle OF
the Gun.

Following close upon the announce
ment that the United States govern
ment intend to abrogate the agreement
entered into with Great Britain in 1887
and place feet of gun boats upon tho
great lakes, comes the report siunday
that at the request of the British gov
ernment Lord Stanley had demanded
an immediate report upon the defense
of the Dominion. The military author
tiles at Ottawa naturally attached some
interest MS to what the urgency could
be that hurriedly called for this infor-
nation. Speaking on the question of
defense Sunday q prominent official of
the government said that the moment
the United States government abro-
gated the agreement of 1887, which re-
strictcd the naval forces of both Cana
da and the United States on the
great lakes to four vessels each, no yes
sci to exceed 100 tons burden, armed
with one eighteen-pound gun, and
increased the strength. of the feet
on these waters, Great Britain would
run up fleet of her iron-clads to keep
them company. 1t has been suggested
that England has become alarmed at
the strong annexation movement which
appears to have seized her subjects in
Canada and is going to take precaution-
ary measures, if necessary at the point
of the bayonet, to prevent its further
development.

The terrible tempest has not yet sub

Hollywood comes q telegram saying
that the body of steamship fireman
has been washed ashore at that place,
and that it is believed the drowned

foundered in the gale. A Cardiff coal
laden steamer sank Wednesday near
Hollywood, and the entire crew per-

driven past Dungeness Light flying dis

able to be of assistance to them, owing
to the tremendous rolling of the sea-
During Thursday morning an immense
scaffolding, erected about a building
near Hyde Park, collapsed under the

ruins number of persons who had
sought shelter beneath it. One person
was fatally injured, and many ladies

The stars and stripes, it was decided
Friday, are to wave 1, 100 feet above the
ground higher than ever flag has

start from the ground and run more
than one thousand feet up without
change or stop, directly to the lookout
landing. The width of the tower at the
foundation level is 44O feet in each di-
rection. After long-continued negotia-
tions. the Keystone Bridge Co, of Pitts

THREE REPORTERS,
Of Chicago, scooped BY the Angel
of Death.
A Midnight Ride on the Cab of an En-

Washburne, " ho was returning to Chi

cident came without warning, and as
the locomotive plunged from the track
the four men were caught and COM
pletely buried beneath the wreck. The
engine and baggage car were completely
destroyed. Two passenger coaches and
the sleeper were more or less damaged.

ployed on the Post Dispatch FOR q num-
Der of years. Previous to going to st.

Persistent complaint is again being
made in London that American cattle
are often in distressing condition when
landed from the poorly-equipped cattle
steamers But it is noticeable that
these complaints are made against the
steamers which sail from Montreal,
Halifax, and other Canadian ports. The
acting chief of the bureau of animal in
dustry of the agricultural department,
says there has not been single COM
plant against shipments from United
States ports since the agricultural de-
partment began 70 inspect cattle
steamers
