TWELVE PERISHED.
Loss of Life and Property by Landslide
in Canada.

in Canada.
QUEBEC, Can, May 1.-The inhabit-
ants of St Albans, an isolated village,
Friday night heard terrific noise re-
sembling the roll of thunder in the
distance The soil vibrated and a
panic ensued. Near the parish
church is curve in the River
St Anne which makes water
fall. The ground which stays the
formation on the right side gave way
and the earth and rocks filed a deep
gap of the falls, burying a wood-pulp
mill and blocking up the natural
channel of the river for miles
to a depth of II feet, making
the water rise above the earth
walls. The water rushed down upon
the village, carrying away three
bridges and all the lumber booms. The
house of Farmer Gauthier, at St AL
bans, is buried, and the four persons
who occupied it are supposed to be
buried in the house, which is evidently
burning. Hundreds of cattle, horses,
sheep and pigs have perished, and
in the wreckage that floats past
the poor brutes can be seen struggling.
The piece of land which slid into the
river is about 1 mile long and 4 miles
wide. The latest information received
is to the effect that $500, 900 worth of
property was destroyed and twelve
persons were killed.

to remind him Of his war record. He
lectured recently in Memphis on

attended a reception given in his honor
by Col. and Mrs. William r. Moore.
Of the guests that were presented to
him he regarded one with an eye OF
vague recognition. ''Surely have

A FATAL BLAZE.


New ORLEANS, April So.-A few min
utes before IL o'clock Saturday night fire
broke out in the kitchen of the St
Charles hotel A large audience was
leaving the ST. Charles theater at the
time and in a few minutes the widest
excitement prevailed in the street, as
the blaze was ia the court formed by
the hotel and near the rear of the
building.
AS near as can be ascertained four
lives were sacrificed. One man, John
Riley, leaped from the fourth story and
was almost instantly killed, while four
men and one woman were seen to leap
from the iron staircase leading from
the rear of the building and were lost
to view in the court, which looked to
be almost solid mass of flames. One
man made his escape into the street,
but nothing was seen of the others. 1t
was also reported that a child was
missing, but this lacks confirmation.
About 2 a. m. a portion of the wall
on Gravier street, as well as a section
on Common street, fell in, and small
portion on the Gravier street side fell
outward, wrecking about fifty tele-
graph wires. By a. IN. the last OF
the interior of the building had tum-
bled in, leaving only the st. Charles
street walls intact. The loss is esti-
mated at from $500, 600 to s4O0, 900.
THE ST. Charles hotel was built on the site
OF that destroyed by fire in 1851 AT the time
Of its completion it was considered the finest
hotel in the world and the first great hotel Of
the United States. From 1851 10 the time Of the
discovery of the fire Saturday night the history
of the building was closely ass ociated with the
history of the state and city, In parlor 'P'

The persons in this little drama are
a senator of the United States, Judge
of the supreme court and citizen; the
company, the dozen fortunate guests
at a perfectly appointed and served
club table; the time, the present; the
place, Brooklyn. The citizen says: SIN
my boyhood, whenever Abraham Lin
coin came to our town on court days,
the occasion was one of public interest.
Night after night have known him to
fill the country store with delighted
company OF listeners to his tales and
his jokes, keeping them there until
midnight, and spellbound by the charm
of his wit and his common sense"
THAT reminds me-" said the senator,
''of two letters, of which copies were
given TO me Ivy Robert Lincoln, adj
dressed to one of the commanders of
the army of the Potomac on the eve of
a forward movement HalleclS, chief
of the staff, indicted to the general q
technical, military and rather grandil-
oquent note, warning him in case he
undertook to place his army on the
other side of the Rappahannock to pro-
tect both advance, rear and TANKS, so
that no attack could be made upon him
while his forces were separated or in
the act OF crossing. Many large
words and long phrases were employed
to convey this idea. Mr.. Lincoln's let
ter read almost in these words: "Loox
out, when you cross the river, that you
don't hang yourself up in the middle
like steer on fence, neither able to
hook with your horns nor kick with
your hoofs.'"
The judge, who for rwenty-eight
year carried in his face English lead
from confederate rifle, observed that
Lincoln was really one of the greatest
generals the country ever produced.
