DULUTH, Mum, Sept. 3.-Three hun
dred and twelve lives have certainly
been lost and at least two hundred
more have undoubtedly perished as
the result of the fearful forest fires
which swept through the pine regions
Saturday afternoon and night. 1t will
probably never be known lust how
many lives were lost because there is
no doubt that dozens were literally
swept off the face of the earth bv
the flames.
In this portion of Minnesota and in
Northern Wisconsin and Michigan
there Is every reason to believe that
the property losses will foot up SlO..
600 900 not including the timber de-
stroyed
Scores of portions in the stricken
region are suffering from burns caused
by the flames and hundreds are abso-
lutely destitute
The people of Pine City, town near
est the worst catastrophe, are doing
ing every thing possible to relieve and
care for the sufferers. Rush City, this
place and st. Paul are also doing obie
work. In St. Paul 81 900 worth of pro-
vision and supplies were sent out by the
citizens on special trains yesterday
and last night.
This city il the refuge for hundred.
of survivors. A train bearing nearly
600 who escaped from Hinchly reached
here at 9:2O O'Clock Saturday night.
At 2:45 O'Clock yesterday morning the
first relief train sent down the line by
the st. Paul and Duluth arrived with
about 800 settlers, and probably 200
more came in on tn. second St. Paul
and Duluth relief train, which left here
yesterday morning and returned at
1890 yesterday. The refugees
presented most pitiabie sight. Few
of the men had on hats or coats, the
women were no more fully clad, women
with babies in arms were there accom-
panied by from two to five other little
ones, homeless and friendless, except
for charitable public. Many husbands
remained TO see if something could
not be saved. In the grimy. SCOT GOV.
cred crowd were many children without
parents.
From Minneapolis comes a dispatch
that the city's first relief train left
there at 10 O'Clock this morning with
an enormous store of provisions aud

THOUSANDS IN STAMPS STOLEN.
The Hoboken Post once Robbed or More
Than "a 900 WORTH.

HoBoKES, Dec. 3.-Robbcrs entered the private
ofico of Postmaster Currsn OF Hoboken yester-
day while he was at supper and secured more
than 81 1900 worth of postage stamps. Curran
left his Office at 4:1O O'Clock and returned at
D O'Clock. As soon as he reentered he saw an
envelope on the floor that had been in the safe
and had contained 5000 two-cent stamps.
Calling his assistant Mr.. Curran made an In
yestigation. and discovered that the safe had
been robbed.
The Post Office is on a corner of Newark and
River streets. The Postmaster's office Is on tho
right side OF the corridor. and directly across
the hall is the window OF the stamp clerk. Tho
thief must have entered through the door from
the corridor. How he could do so without being
seen by stamp Clerk Moore is n mystery. Tho
outer door of the safe was unlocked. but tho
stamps were in an inner compartment that was
locked.
The thief evidently had a kew that fitted tho
lock, for no violence had been used to open the
inner compartment.
The HOboken police authorities were at once
notified and detectives placed on the case, but
up To II late hour no clue to the thieves had been
obtained.
Clerk Moore has been placed under surveil-
lance. but he is not believed to have been impli-
Gated In the theft. Two Post Office inspectors
are also Mt work on the case.

WON BY THE LIYERS.
An Exciting Election Contest ~ Flushing
Yesterday.

FLUSHING. y. V, Dec. 3.-The livers and the
sleepers met at the polls to-day in battle array,
and when the smoke cleared the sleepers were
found tn have been thoroughly defeated, three
livers having been elected village trustees.
Two weeks ago tonight the Convention was
called for the nomination Of village trustees, at
which time NJ. j. Quirk, John Hepburn, and
James Conners were selected from a number of
nominees to represent the citizens party. A
strong attempt was made TO put John II. Wilson
on the ticket in place Of NJ. J. Quirk, but the
effort was unsuccessful. The friends of Wilson
then substituted his name on an opposition
ticket. endorsing Hepburn and Conners. The
vote to-day resulted in the election Of the latter
ticket, Hepburn receiving l,OO4 votes, Wilson
678, and ChOners 776.
The successful candidates are all men whose
entire interests are in the village. and are COM
monty termed livers. Their election was the
result OF a plainly manifested determination to
take the management OF the village interests
away from the sleepers, men who hold residence
here having no business interests In the village.
That village government by such men is unsnc-
cessful is shown in the steady increase in the
rate OF taxation during. the last ten years, II
having advanced steadily with an increased real
estate valuation Of over half a million dollars,
while at the same time there has been no mate
rial increase In village expenses.

MEETING or THE CoAL AGENTS.
Agree 10 Restrict Production for Deem
her and to stop Cutting FrIees.

The anthracite coal sales agents, at their adj
journed meeting yesterday, adopted the tenta-
tive agreement made at their meeting last week.
They decided to restrict the production in de-
cember to one-hslf of that OF last June. and to
advance tide-water prices to 50. 81 ton for stove.
1885, for egg aud chestnut, and $3.50 for crate.
Western prices were advanced to those named in
the November circular.
The restriction and prices proposed were con-
Cured in by all who were present at the morn
ing session. and an adjournment was taken I'M

afternoon session the agreement was formally
made. the representative OF each company vot-
ing for IL and promising 10 abide by it's terms.
1t is expected that line prices will adjust them
selves without further friction.
In discussing the limit OF output IL WAS Rcog-
niZed that some of the companies, the Delaware
and Hudson. for instance, had got behind their
competitors In production, because OF adherence
TO the agreement longer than Others In October,
and that this discrepancy would have To be cor
reCted. The New York, Susquehanna. and West

The Performance OF "OteIio" at the Metro
politan Opera House.

The revival of verdi's "otello" last night
served not only as an opportunity for
Siguor Tamagno to display his
best vocal and dramatic abilities. but
brought back to us Nine. Eames in the role of
Desdemond and introduced again to New York
Mons. Victor Maurel. who has not been here for
over twenty years.
The reception accorded 10 Nine. Eames was
an exceedingly generous one, that recalled her,
numberless times, at the close of the first
act, and almost embedded her in show
ers Of roses and chrysanthemums. She
was as beautiful as ever, graceful, smiling,
and apparently in the most robust health. al
though her singing gave no evidence Of in
creased force or vitality, but was as econom-
ically managed and as sparingly used as upon
any former occasion.
Nevertheless. her rendition OF the Desdemond
was excellent throughout, at times giving out a
real showing OF subtle and varied emotion. for
instance. when Otelio strikes her across the
cheek. And in the whole of the last act she was
poetic. II not dramatic. The latter height she
rarely reaches, and she acted we'll up to Tamag-
nos powerful and tragic grandeur in the last
scene. not marring his work, albeit more yehe-
ment action on her part would have intensified
the effect of the thrilling climax.
The house was crowded. The opera held the
attention of every one until the great finale.
and then the enthusiasm reached a tremendous
pitch.
Tamagno was magnificent in his acting OF the
last scene. Salvini is no greater than he, no
expression than TamaRno was last even
ing. No acting could be finer, no ferceness
more savage, no tenderness more touching
no remorse more pitiful, no stimulation more per-
feet than was his. The audience stood shouting
in their seats while he was recalled again and
which deserves unstinted praise.
NJ. Maurel was not recognized at his first APP
pearance, and. therefore, not a hand was raised
In welcome. This caused him 10 be a trife i'll at
ease during the first act. and his voice was
mufied and lacked resonance.
Later he retrieved himself. so that his Id1O be-
came a picturesque and personable figure; but
he must be heard In other things before he is
much discussed.
The honors of the evening were certainly
Tamagno's-the graces belonged To flames
Maurel was slightly overshadowed. but IN
doubtedly the skilled artist.

Pauline Mallet, the young French woman

complaint against Pauline. as both she and her
brother had promised to leave Fred alone after
this.
Then the Justice turned to Pauline. who was

"Oh! yes, sir. | will never, never do il again"
and then she burst into tears.
After her disc~harge,Pauline thanked Mrs, Eos

accompanied by her brother and lawyer,
