an hour afterward the girl discovered two
burglars crawling through the kitchen
window She leveled the empty re-

when one of them suddenly swung
around and knocked the pistol from
her hand. He then started to rob the house
while his companion held the girl She
fought so desperately that both failed to
subdue her until they knocked her sense
less with a slungshot When Mr. Gastright
and his wife returned they found their
daughter lying on the floor, and part of
the house, including the drawers in the
bureau and tables, ransaCled but the.
money was still safe. She says had the re-

BIG SHIPPING CANAL.
1t Is Proposed Between Lake Erie and
the Atlantic Seaboard.

1t Is Proposed Between Lake Erie and
the Atlantic Seaboard.
There is a bill before the Dominion Par
lament to incorporate the North American
Canal Company. Associated With Chaun-
cey Dutton, the promoter, who is from
Pittsburg, are a large number of Canadian
capitalists, including Arthur prieur and
w. Y. Soper. The capital stock is SO, 000,-
600. The object of the company is to build
wide. deep channel, with the fewest pos
sible locks, between Lake Erie and the
seaboard. The canals would be so
wide and deep that the largest steam
vessels could steam through them at full
speed. There would be but seven locks
between Lake Erie and the terminals, and
but four between Montreal and New York,
and the locks would move two vessels at
the same time, one ascending while the
other was descending. 1t is proposed to
obtain a charter from the State of New
York and make a canal from Lake Cham
plain to tide water in the Hudson River.
No United States charter would be re-
CURED as the work would be entirely with
the State of New York. A vessel leaving
Lake Erie can descend to the Niagara and
Lake Ontario, then by the St Lawrence and
Cornwall Canal and Lake 1t. Francis pass
via the Chateaugay and st, Louis sections
and Lake St Louis and the Lachine Canal
to Montreal Her time would be sixty two
hours.

votes cast against annexation. the

Pursued by the Fire Fiend.

An overheated steampipe in the fremont
Temple at Boston was the cause Of fire
Sunday morning that laid in ashes that
historic house Of worship, caused loss of
nearly half million dollars, scared
the thousand guests OF the Parker
House into an undress panic, frightened
the dodgers of the Park Hotel and Ire
mont House from their beds to the
street without regard to toilet, and pro-
vided the fremen with a foeman that
threatened at times to vanquish them and
inflict upon Boston a greater calamity
than that imposed by the fires of 1879 and
1880. Happily the threatened evil was
warded off by heroic work. But the Ire
mont Temple is no more, the Parker House
is badly damaged and dozens OF firms and
societies have lost heavily.

plies for the use OF the city. as follows:
