With an ordinary expenditure Of highway
money, the roads could be kept in adequate

Ter took such conservative position. The

men who entered the new hotel, which is
directly south of the old hotel, had hardly
entered when they wers driven out by a
sheet OF flame that seemed TO sweep through
the whole building as II shot from a can
non.
The new hotel being ab,a2s the flames
shot across the avenue and communicated
to new cottage OF T. NJ. Hart, 50 feet
away, and this was soon mass of flames.

hotel got ahrs and the cottage north of this.
The seven burning buildings made an ilum
nation tn at could be seen for miles around
and person could easily read n newspaper
from the light, standing on South Dart
mouth bridge. 1t was good fortune that
more cottages did not go down, two being
aved by hard work OF the part Of the
armers, who gathered from far and near.

including Mr.. Peffer OF Kansas will vote
with the democrats on organization. TIE
republicans viii have 40 votes, if the mi.
nority in Montana allows the governor to
appoint Col. Sanders. With the vote OF

ance of the populists tine democrats could
organize. With the prospect as it is
now, there is not much doubt that the popu.
lists will all go together with the democrat.
to make o majority.

HAVEEHILL, Mass, Fob. 12.-The sui
eide OF David i. Collins IN Exeter, N. H.. q,

dence OF his guilt. He was arrested Satur
day afternoon at Kingston, n. H., charged
with completely in the burning of n house ct
West Newbury, on tina night OF Jan. 30.
James ii. Addison aud his son William lost
their lives in this fire.
From the first it was clear to the minds
of the West Newbury firenen and others,
that the fire was of incendary origin, and
that the object was to get the insurance,
which was u great deal above the value OF
tie building. Whom it was found that q
horse and sleigh or pung that were seen
theC night on the road on which the house
was located, belonged to the owner of the
building, but few doubted rs to who
planned and directed the burning.
For time direct evidence was wanting.
Tho case was placed in the hands of State
Detective Batchelder, and that officer FOL
lowed up every cew Until he received wha'
he considered sufficient evidence to take
into custody Oscar d. Hubbel, on a charge
Of being ono OF the men in the seigt
near the house on the night of the fire
From him, so it is stated, evidence against
Collins was obtained, causing his arrest
The other party, Warren Dearborn, said tc
be in the sleigh that night has disappeared,
but officers are on his trail and he can hard
~ escape capture.
Collins was horsetradsr, about 14 year;
of age, and, if reports are true, he did no
have very savory reputation at Kingston

News of the Storm.

The schooner Emma, Capt. Doughty,
arrived last night from outside with
about 1000 pounds of cod and haddock.
The schooner took ON board good deal
OF water during the storm of the morn
ing and had her jib torn in pieces. The
storm came on very suddenly, and while
it lasted was a tempest. The worst
feature, aside from the shipping of water,
was the darkness. The rain fell at times
in almost binding torrents making it
impossible to see far ahead The deck
load was washed overheard.
The captain of New Jersey schooner
had rough time during the storm yes
terday. He was on shore with four of
his crew, and when the storm rose, felt
that he must go back as his schooner
was in a bad position. He started from
Randall & McAllister's coal pockets and
after trying for two hours to row to the
vessel, gave it up. Do the best they
could the men could not make Roadway
against the wind and sea. The captain
secured tug and got on board his
schooner.

TROUBLE WILL FOLLOW.
1t Should Be Understood and Looked
After Now.
SOME THINGS WHICH PEOPLE CAN.
NOT WE'LL EXPLAIN.
This May Be Absolutely New to the Av-
erage Reader.

Many people wonder what it means
when there is tingling or prickling SEN
satlon with more or less numb feeling in
the hands, feet or limbs. Tt means that
there is a condition of the nerves which
predisposes toward paralysis If in addi-
ton to the above sensations there is a
pain in the head, general bad feeling
with weak, weary or excessively tired
feeling in the limbs, it may be taken as
certain that paralysis will result if some
thing is not Immediately done to avert
this terrible disaster.
All should remember that in such
cases it is the neglect of these first symp-
toms which results in the fatal and dread
ed shock of paralysis. If person will
use the right remedy when the above feel
ings and sensations appear, all danger
of a shock can be warded off.
1t is fact that paralysis and kindred
nervous diseases are increasing at an
alarming rate, thousands about us ne
glecting to realize what these first symp-
toms so apparently trivial, really mean
until they become Frustrated.
A very interesting story is told by Mr..
u. w. Ryerson, who is a well known bust
ness man residing at 261 Eighth ave., New
York city.
In March, 1892 he said, 81 had a
slight stroke of paralysis of the left side
which was followed in about two weeks
by a second attack, which completely
paralyzed the left side of my body.

HAD ON KlNNA,s COAT.
With Mrs. klnha's Bible in His Pocket and
Kinna's Cane in His Hand-The Charge
Against John A Mckay.

There was very queer burglary in
this city last night, and John A Mckay
ofsBoston is under arrest and will be
taken before Judge Gould this morning.
The burglary was committed at No. 10
Cumberland street, when the house of
Daniel Kinna was. entered and valuable
pocket Bible, new overcoat costing $14,
two pipes, two pocket books containing
about So and a walking stick were stolen.
The burglar burst in door, and as Mr..
and Mrs. Kinna were absent went
through the house at his leisure.
When Mr.. Kinna after his return
home, discovered the robbery he sus-
pected Mckay and went out to look for
him. He found his man wearing the
stolen coat and carrying the stolen cane.
Mr.. Kinna called on Officers Riley and
White, who arrested Mckay. The stolen
articles were found on him. 1t was stated
at the police station that Mckay ad-
mitted taking the articles but stoutly
insisted that the Bible was his property.
Mr.. Kinna positively identified the book
as one belonging to his wife.
