RACING WITH FLAMES.
A Boat on tho st. Lawrence Rushed to
tho Shore to Save the Passengers.

MONTREAL, Que, Sept. 22.-About
o'clock last evening the Richelieu and
Ontario Navigation company's steamer
Corinthian, with almost 100 American
and Canadian tourists, half of them
women and children, had just run the
Coteau Rapids when it caught fire near
the smol1cstack. The first mate noticed
the danger and warned the Captain,
who ordered the passengers all
forward and the boat to be beached.
On account of the shoals the Corinthian
could not be beached at that point, so
it was sent ahead at full steam down
the river till a suitable place was found
The fire was gaining all the time
When the boat finally reached the
shore the after part of the steamer was
mass of flames. The passengers had
narrow escape but behaved with
great GOODNESS. Most of the baggage
was lost. Twenty minutes after being
beached the steamer was burned to the
waters edge. Loss, $50, 900. The pas
sengers arrived in the city last evening,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2i.-The epidemic
of revolutions in South and Central
America is spreading. The Republic
of Colombia is now in danger. Word
has reached the State department Tat
serious trouble is brewing in conse-
quence of the quarantine established
against European and American ves-
sells. The trouble commenced by
the action of the authorities at
Savarilla in firing on the British mail
steamship Atralo as warning to keep
out of the port. The British residents
have resented this action, and other
foreigners, especially merchants, are
complaining bitterly of the action of
the Panama authorities in closing all
ports against European and American
vessels. business is said to be COM
pletely paralyzed, and general discon-
tent prevails as result. The Ameri-
can Consul at Colon has advertised
that the American vessel be sent there
as a means of preventing trouble and
to protect American interests should
the necessity arise. The Concord has
accordingly been dispatched from La
Guayra, Venezuela.

when it stopped it was noticed that one
boy was lame. With much solicitude.
the other boy helped the cripple aboard
the car. and after telling the conductor
to go ahead. returned to the sidewalk.
The lame boy braced himself up in his
seat. so that he could look out of the
car window, and the other passengers
observed that. at frequent intervals,
the little fellow would wave his hand
and smile. Following the direction Of
his glances. the passengers saw the other
boy running along the sidewalk. strain

Vatican and Sack-Back Coats.

Most new fashions which show a
radical change from long-esta blished
modes meet as rule with extreme op-
position from the majority, yet many of
these very fashions finally win their
way to popular favor by sheer force of
iasistence. Scores of derisive adjectives
have been applied to the Vatican and
sack-back coats. but it appears that the
feelings of many of those who expressed
an adverse opinion of them have under
gone something more than moditica-
tion, and the sack-hack and the Wat
teau models are actually looming up in
quite general favor. This can in way
be accounted for. There are certain
articles of apparel that, for elegance and
fitness, are almost entirely dependent
on contemporary fashions. The trained
skirt was a necessary adjunct to the
new coat. Still advice is given to any
