LONDON, Dec. 21, 1S94.-The steamer
Munster, conveying the mails and a full
complement of passengers from Holy
head to Kingston, came into collision
in the Channel at an early hour this
morning with an unknown steamer The
stranger struck the Munster on the port
side, carrying away her port wheel, and
vanished in the darkness. The shock
disarrauged the wires on board the Mum
ster, extinguishing her electric lights.
There WAS great CONSERVATION among
the passengers, and the confusion was
increased by the fact that the boat was
in such total darkness that the extent
of the damage she had sustained could
not be readily ascertatned. The Munster.
completely disabled, drifted about in a
perilous position for several hours. Some
time after daylight she was sighted by
vessel which came to her assistance
and towed her to Holyhead. Several
of the passengers and crew were hurt
by flying splinters, but none of them

There were two early morning hres IN

story brick fiat at No. 143 Bright street

covered the halls were filled with smoke.
Policeman Coyne sent in an alarm and
then aroused the sleeping inmates The
smoke terrified them and they rushed
INTO the streets in their nightclothes
The prompt arrival of policemen from

ger was over. The loss is estimated at
$500. The fat is owned by Mrs. Coleman

THE SECOND FIRE.

cleaning up their apparatus and retired
for the night when an alarm was sent
in from box ID by Policeman Logan.
This time the fire was. in the little two
story frame rookery occupied by Jeweler
M. Krause, at 221s Newark avenue. It
was caused by the explosion of an oil
lamp.
The flames were in the rear of the
building and hard to reach. Volumes of
black smoke poured from the windows
and drove the fremen back. Before an
effective stream was turned on the fire,
No. %, another rookerY, occupied by NJ.
Drachmann. a milliner, was in flames.
The fire made an alarming headWay and
quickly spread to No. "a, occupied by
L.. Simon, representing the London and
Liverpool Clothing Company, and to No.
26 a Japallese bazaar. A second alarm
was sent ont and the additional fire
engines saved the buildings from dcs-
truction. Nos 22is, % and "a were COM

We DON'T NEED IT.

The third national irrigation congress
meets at Denver September. Sd. We are
in receipt of brief communication from
the secretary of that congress showing
the number of acres available for culti-
walton by irrigation. The arid lands are
estimated at Ss3, 900 acres or two
iiths of the entire area of the United
States, of which he says 616,OO0,O 600
will produce crops if irrigated. We are
firm believer in irrigation, but just
now the raising of crops by any system
is an improbable business. If the
Denver congress could manage to find or
create market for the agricultural
products raised without irrigation it
would fill long felt want. The farmers
are too numerous now, and the markets
are over done. Until the demand
catches up with the supply there is little
use in agitating the irrigation matter.
The best and biggest crops can be raised
under that system; but wherefore raise
them?

CONAN, gives some account of the luxu-

list is long and very interesting one,
and among other good things supplied
is twenty-three gallons of cologne a
year. One would think that with this
amount of perfume, the senate could be
saved from becoming a stencil IN the
nostrils of the country, but the unsavory
smells coming from the recent sugar
deal in the tariff bill would require that
many barrels of cologne to counteract.
It is malodorous body.

A SINGULAR ADVENTURE.

How a Sailor Wore Himself Out Swim
ming in Shallow Water.
The second mate of Lake Huron
propeller had a singular adventure off
Point aux Barques on his first trip.
They had been towing yawl, which
somehow got adrift, and the mate see
ing it, nearly mile away, volunteered
to swim after it if the captain would
anchor until his return. This was
agreed to, and the mate started on his
swim. For quarter of an hour, says
Golden Days, it was fun, but then the
swimmer began to get weary. The
boat was drifting ashore, and still more
than a mile away. The mate turned
on his back, foated, swan ''dog-fash-
ion," and on his side, and tried every
other way to rest himself, but all the
time kept getting weaker. The poor
fellow felt that he was doomed, but
kept feebly moving his arms and legs,
until finally his strength completely
gave out, and, with a despairing cry,
he sank to the bottom. To his intense
surprise, he found that the water was
only four feet deep. OF course, he
ought to have been grateful, but, in
stead of that. he waded ashore in a
towering rage at his own stupidity. Ke
got the yaw1, and when he reached the
ship the captain said: 'EYou confounded
fool, didn't you know there was mile
and half of shoa1 water all along this
coast?'
