Blacksmith Shop at Stafford COlliery
Destroyed Yesterday by Fire.
PRESUMED TO BE INCENDIARY
The Shop Had Not Been Used for More
Than Six Months Owned by William
Connell y Co.-Heptasophs Elect
Officers for Coming Year.

Fire consumed the building used as
blacksmith shop at the Stafford col
liery owned by William Connell & Co.
liery has not been operated in a number
of months. The buildings on the sur
face, the engine house and the black
smith shop, are newly built, and the
loss Of the latter by fire will amount to
perhaps $1,000
The supposition is that either a spark
from a passing Delaware and Hudson
train caused the blaze, or else 1t was
deliberate arson. In the absence Of
water plugs the fire had nothing to
stop it when it became started

his seat. He refused to do so ant the

thority. Great excitement followed.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.-A special to The
Herald from Tacoma, WASH, says: ].
A.. Karweise, a Kentucky civil engineer,
has come here from the United States Of
Colombia on business connected with
the new state capitol, and brings with
him charts and drawings and estimates
Of construction of an ocean level ship
canal, which, owing to heretofore I'M
discovered natural formations and ifs
sures in the backbone of
the Cordilleras, found by him,
can be built for $8S, 600, 900 less
than the Nicaragua canal, and can be
completed in three years from the date
of beginning work for $4S, 0OO, 200. At
the point where Mr.. Karweise claims to
have made his discovery the Atlantic
and Pacific ocean tides approach within
IL miles of each other. This, in con-
nection with the new assure discoveries
in the Cordilleras, results from the
lagoons and marshes of the Gulf of
Darien on the Atlantic side and the San
Miguel bay on the other. Mr.. Karweise
favors the joint building by all
nations of a double track shiI
canal at the point of his dis.
covery and the setting aside of a neutral
zone. The location Of the double-tracl
ocean level ship canal route is directly
south of the eastern isthmus bend, ant
actually in the northwestern corner O.
the South American continent. The dis
lance between the points where tn
ocean tide ends is IL 3-S miles, and tn
total length of the combined cana
works, inclusive of the II, 800 feet TUNE
length, is eight and tive-eights miles.

OSHKOSH, Wis, Jan. 24.-Some time
since the city council passed an ordi-
n imposing a tax of o. a day on all
transient merchants and peddlers who
did business in the city. Early last
week some Milwaukee parties moved a
stock of what purported to be bankrupt
goods into a vacant store in this city,
and for two or three days succeeded in
doing a land Office business. The other
dry goods merchants complained and
the city officials attempted to collect the
special tax. The manager of the store
retained an attorney and at first seemed
disposed to litigate the matter, but
finally paid the tax under protest.
