ToRoy1o, OA.l Dec. e7.-There is
much excitement, in Canada over the
affairs of the Northwestern Masonic Aid
association, whose headquarters are in
Chicago. The organization has in force
in Canada over 1000, 900 of insurance
among the Masons. 1t has been doing
purely q Mason business in Canada, but
it is coming to tho knowledge of the
Dominion government that the associa-
ton was accepting non-Masons as risks
in the United States. 1t was notified to
quit business in Canada or put up the
statutory S5,ooo.0O0 deposit ut Ottawa.
The latter it would not do, SO it has been
pre-emptorily ordered to withdraw from
Canada. 1t is said that after the with
drawal from Canada, the association
can snap its fingers at the Canadian
patrons, who have paid in many thou.

The Combination That Caused the Down.
fall OF . Boston Man.

ANkA V1 U OOBU0u man,
BosToN, Mass, Dec. 24.-Gcorge Ev-;
erett, formerly D Snowman of some re-
pute and later clerk in the banking
house of John Stetson, proprietor of the
Globe theater. was in the superior GRIM
inal court yesterday on charge of en-
bezzlement. The sum involved is be-
tween So, 600 and $4,000. The spectators
included many prominent theat-
rical people. The banking house
seems to have been started on capt.
tai furnished by Mr.. Stetson. Half of
the profits Of the concern were given
him every month, and the other half
was divided between Charles j. Groves,
who acted as manager, and Everett, this
being their salary. The business meth
DDS OF the bank seem to have been
rather unique. Mr.. Groves in his testi-
mony said that all the property received
by the bank as security for loans made
during o month were placed in box;
this at the end OF the month was emptied
and its contents placed in another box;
and so on for four months, most of
tho loans having been made for
four months. The rate of interest varied
from per cent. year to per cent. q
month. Mr.. Stetson had from SIS, 900
to $1O0, 1000 invested in the enterprise.
Groves says that he did something in the
way of selling diamonds, while Everett,
being q Justice of the peace, did q little
matrimonial business. The net profits
of these enterprises were about 81, 900
per month. Groves says that Everett
confessed his embezzlement, and said
that all the money but Sc had been spent
on women and lottery tickets. The de-
velopments from the suit excite interest
as showing the business methods of Ger
tain local concerns. \ :

Nine Buildings Go Up In Smoke as Dead
.twood An Aged Elk Pointer Perlshes IN
the Fiames-Blazes ut Rec Heights aud

DEApwooD, Dec. 27.-At 1890 Christ
mas night fire was discovered in build
ing on Main street, in the First ward of
this city, and in an incredibly short time
the building was q fierce raging furnace.
and within very few minutes the ad-
Joining buildings we're ablaze. A high
wind carried the flames along until no
less than nine buildings were destroyed.
Among the buildings burned was the
livery stable of s. C. Fargo & Son, the
store Of John Benter, the grocery store
of John Flanagan and q meat market.
In addition to the livery stable. S. c.
Fargo s. Son lost a large barn and two
story store building just at present UNI
occupied, Fargo's lose will amount to
from 5000 to $1,000. Benter's $4,000.
Flannigans about $1,000, and in all
about $40. 900. Owing to The great dis
lance from the last water main it was
impossible To save the buildings. but by
the united efforts of the !iremen and citi-
zens a row of buildings in which was the
livery stable of Frank Kelly and two
residences we're saved. The origin OF
the fire is unknown. but there is every
indication to show that it was the act OF
an incendiary, many believing it to be
the result of desire for vengeance on
the part Of some drunken railroad
graders. who were incensed by the &C.
ton of Mayor Starr in ordering the hose
turned OH gang of them who were dis
turbing the peace and when ordered to
dispense refused to do SO.
Friday morning about the same time
llcadwood was threatened with repiti-
tion of the great fire of 1879. The rear
portion of the upper floor OF the Key
stone hotel was discovered to be ablaze
but in ten. or fifteen minutes the firemcn
had it under control. The hotel is Sit
uated in the heart Of the business por-
ton of the city, and if the fire had not
sbeen controlled as early asst was moth
ing would have been saved. Loss, from

THE MESSIAH CRAZE.
A Ghost Appears to the Fort Rcrthcld In.
dians and They Arc Now Dancing.


BISMARCK, Dec. 22.-Thc Indians on
any longer stand aside and leave their
red brethren throughout tho country to
have all the fun to themselves, have ut
craze, and are indulging in ghost dances
demonstrations elsewhere. The Bcr-
tholds have been the most orderly In
dams on the American continent. A pri-
some fears are entertained from these
under the tutelage of several Sioux from
Standing Rock, who deserted during the
annual visit of the Bertholds to that
agency month ago. They are begin
ming to act very strangely, said Agent
Murphy, and the agent, ready to DO on
the safe side, has asked for troops. The
writer of the letter expressed the opin-
ion that If any serious results should
occur he believes these Indians. who arc
composed of the Gros Ventres, Arick-
arces and Mandans, would notify all tho
white people on the reservation to leave,
and that the Indians do not intend to
break away from tho reservation, but
will attempt to hold it against intrusion
by the whites. They want the reserva-
ton all to themselves with no
white men in their midst to modest
them. There is band of Mandan In
dians, under the leadership of the cele-
brated chief, Crow-Flics-High, located
on the Little Missouri, west of the Mis-
souri,, which has never yet yielded obe-
-dience to the government. The Mandans
hold themselves aloof from any inter-
course and do not draw subsistence from
the government. More fear is felt from
the latter named Indians than from
those at the reservation, who have so
long been the white mans friends. No
trouble further than the ghost danccsP
feared from the Berthold braves. Will
the dance is in hot progress thcy imagine
they see the ghost of Sitting Bull iisfs
cloud with arms outstretched, bcckonihg
them to continue the dance, and they
would In due time see their Messiah.

AN iMPEcUNloUs KING.
Kalaksua q Financial Wreck aud Deepen,
ing on Small Loans.


SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Dec. 22.-King
Kalakaua T. is considerably cast down
over the withdrawal of the Sherman res
olution. He had fondly anticipated that
through some favorable legislation he
would be enabled to restore the credit
OF his Kingdom and make q loan. There
can be no doubt of it that the poten.
tate, is in q bad way financially. 1t is
related that when he resolved to come to
this city, and had accepted the invita-
ton to take passage on the cruiser
Charleston as the guest of Admiral
George Brown, he found that he was
short Of funds and was unable to mako
borrow. In this financial crisis he
went to the royal treasury and rifled it
OF its entire contents, which aggregated
Sl03.50, sum entirely inadequate to the
royal needs. But not to DO disappointed
in his desire to come to San Francisco,
he went, with his suite, aboard the
Charleston and set sail. The second day
out q poker game was inaugurated and
among the players were the king, Admiral
Brown, the captain, the flag lieutenant
and one or two naval officers. In q few
hours the contents of the royal treasury
had found their way into the pockets Of
the naval officers, and the king was q
financial wreck. Admiral Brown was
importnned for small loan of So; the
nag lieutenant q little later contributed
$3.50; the captain paid tribute of 81,
and the result was that when the Golden
Gate was reached every officer aboard
had In his possession from one to three
l. o. US bearing the kingly signature.
SO runs the tale. and it is said that even
the walters at the hotel have contributed
in the way of small loans to meet the ex.
penses of the royal visit.
