Mr. Eyre cursed himself for Il melo-
dramatic fool as he let the woman go,
and FASTENED to regain earth, knowing
that there We're but two exits from the
Red hall, by one or the other of which
Digges was certain to effect his escape.
But the pitch darkness aided the fug-
tive. and when he dropped noiseleSsly
from the nursery window, Mr.. Frye
grimly Watching i hundred yards dis
tant, heard nothing, but was so certain
of his having got off that he wasted no
time in searching the house. but de
scended to tho village, where he had
the curious misfortune to be mistaken
ut every other step for his own ghost.
The stgy Of his appearance in the
churchyard was not fully circulated
through the place and many believed
his body to be then reposing ut the
Towers so that some hindranee to the
search for Dgges was unavoidable.
Save your cackles," he said at last,
sternly, land search for this man

and brings him to me alive: but let no
one enter the Red Hall, he added. rs
he mounted the horse that he had him
self hastily saddled, and set out at full
galop for Marmiton.
Within five minutes the whole popu-
lation of the village was abroad, some
with lanterns. others with hastily made
and kindled brands, whose light they
flung on outhouses, and startled fowl
cotes. beating each foot of field and
wood, and even climbing to the steep
cliff that rose sheer behind the Red
Hall, in one upper window of which a
light shone, tempting the seekers to
pursue their search within.
BUT none dare withstand their mas
ter's commands-he had returned grim
mer and more terrible than he depart
ed; but surely not the guilty man they
had supposed. rs his search for Dig-es
and a few hasty words he had let fall
pointed to discovery on his part that
the gardner and his wife We're the
criminals.
But when half an hour later. Mr.
Eye rode through the village. accom-
panied by mounted constables. many
were the seekers who volunteered to
accompany them to the hall, only t.
be peremptorily refused. Mr.. Eyre's
keen glance at once discerned that ne

effected by breaking window.

the constables who had been carefully
watching her. IF she only stole the
diamonds, the shock of seeing you
wouldn't have driven her mad. Most
likely she committed the murder after
Mrs. Eyre's maid had left this room
for the night, and went back to the
nursery just before Hester Clarke,
mounting the ladder through curiosity,
discovered what had happened, and
shrieked so as to arouse the house.
When asked if the men could search
the house, he assented, but did not ac-
company them, though with his own
hand he locked Josephine in a room
whence egress was impossible, having
previously placed bread and water
within her reach.
The happy idiot went willingly, but
cried when he took the light away till
she fell asleep, hugging the diamonds
in her arms.
He then returned to his Wife'S cham
Der, and sat down just within, not
stirring till he heard approaching steps,
when he rose, and, standing on the
threshold, asked the chief constable if
he had discovered anything?

BIG FIRE IN SANFORD.
500, 900 Lost and Hundred Hands Out
Of Work.

SANFORD, January 18.-About 10 min
utes of this morning fire was discovered
by one of the ffremen at the Goodall
Worsted Company issuing from one end
of No. 8 mill, used as a dyehouse and
weaving room, and an alarm was given
and the corporation fremen soon had
several streams playing into the. blazing
building. The weather was intensely
cold and they suffered terribly, but they
fought rnanfnlly. 1t was soon evident
that the mill was1 doomed, and the eff
forts of the firemen were directed to
saving the large boiler house. That fur
nished power and heat for the rest of the
corporation, and after hard fight they
succeeded in saving it. On the easterly
side of the mill, about is feet distant,
Mas corporation tenement occupied by
a family named Schofield. The citizens
removed their household goods but the
house was burned despite the heroic eff
forts of the firemen to save it.
The Goodall Worsted Company manu-
facture fine Mohair yarn and worsted
goods, and employ nearly 100 hands.
The boiler house was repaired this fore
noon and the rest of the corporation, the
yarn mill and astrakan mills were rum
ming this afternoon. The loss is $780,
600, covered by insurance. About 100
hands were thrown out of employment.

Winter
Cholera

The new disease of the stomach and bowels
30 prevalent throughout New England has been
named by the medical profession, Winter
Cholera, Its appearance while the Asiatic
Cholera is raging abroad, is regarded as sig
nificant, presaging, as it does, an outbreak OF
the European scourge with the advent OF early
summer. Winter Cholera undermines the
constitutions ofLa Grippe victims, plays havoc
with those who escaped that dread disease, and
paves the way for typhoid and other wasting
fevers. Restrictive immigration bills and guar
antine will avail nothing. Cholera germs are
being cultivated in thousands of Winter
Cholera victims throughout New England to-.
day. The balmy days Of spring and the hot
days of early summer will rouse the disease
germs to activity. In Winter Cholera con-
servative physicians see the Haunting of the
danger signal The warning has been sounded
The alarm has been sent forth. Cholera, in in
cipient form, is here. If you would avoid
Winter Cholera and fortify the system
against the admission Of choleraic poison,

WASHINGTON, January 1S.-Mr. Blaine
passed an uneventful day. Tonight there
is very slight change, resulting from
gradual inroads of the disease, notice
able in his condition. He is entirely
conscious and converses with members
of 4he family, attendants and physicians
at will, though he is discouraged by his
physicians from any excessive talk.
DR.. Johnston called at $50 tonight and
rema ned about 20 minustes. He stated,
when he left, that neither he nor DR..
Hyatt would return tonight unless sent
for by the family on account of a change

ST. LOUIS, January slS.-Fr. Thomas

about dispatches from Washington,
which stated that he had visited ex-
Secretary Blaine the week before last;

statesman and asked to see him; that
the young women OF the family and j.
G. Blaine, Jr., objected to his going to
Mr.. Blaine's room, but Mrs. Blaine over
ruled their objections and Fir. Sherman
was ushered into Mr.. Blaines presence.
The story added that Mrs. Blaine told
her sick husband that his visitor was Fr.
Sherman, and the latter asked Mr.. Blaine
if he could do anything for nim. Mr..
Blaine replied: How do you do, Tom?
No, there is nothing you can do for me"
and then Mr.. Blaine closed his eyes and
relapsed into unconsciousness.
Fr. Sherman, who is now at the St.
Louis University, said: II visited Mr..
Blaine last Sunday week instead of last
Saturday week. In every other particu-
lar the story is correct
