An Awfsi Canadian Disaster on tho Riyei

QUEBEC. CANADA.-Ab bout $50
o'clock Friday night the inhabitants
of the village of st. Alban, situated
some so miles from here in Port Neuf
county, heard terrible noise, resem.

tance. The soil commencing to vibrate,
\ panic ensucd. Farmers ron out of
their dwellings to cvoid being burned
under the ruins as they believed the
ground was going to give way beneath
them.
At the upper end of tho village, some
three miles from the parish church is
curve formed by the river st. Anne
and close to the curve is q water fall
$50 feet high. The gEound forming
the right hand side of the fall gave way,
huryinS the pulp wood mill, which
was situated right underneath and
blocking the course of the stream.
The stream which was very rapid on
account of the melting snow over the
mountains and adjacent valley, spread
over the adjoining farms and caused
the undermined embankment to slide
into the river, filling it up.
Several houses along the river bank
were carried into the river. One of
them was occupied by family named
danthier, numbering four persons, all
of whom perished. Smoke was seen
to ascend from under the ruins show
ing whnt on awful death the occupants
must have met. The ground which
slid into the river measured about six
square miles. Whole farms have been
destroyed and their stocks and farm
produce.
The old bed of the st. Anne river is
now lcvellcd and the river runs miles
from where it coursed before. Three
bridges were carried, namely the st.
Alban, st. Cosimer bridge, and the st.
Anne bridge. People in the neigh

MoRaANToN, N. C.-There was .
marriage at vsldese last Sunday, the
second among the Waldensans since
their arrival in America. Among the
immigrants who arrived last November
were pretty Marguerite Gaydon and
her widowed mother, who, without
male relative or protector, came to the
New World to find home. Some time
before the last colonists arrived Young
John Long, with plenty of Drawn and
pluck, but with very meagre supply
of ready cash, came with other Wal
densans from Utah to join his fellow
countrymen in Burke. Marguerite had
saved a snug pile of golden francs, and
with these she purchased q fertile bit
of farm with plenty of apple and cher
ry trees from the midst of which very
comfortable log house peeped out. A
chunk of mule and wagon We're also
secured, and cosy stable was built
for the COW. John came over to prnne
the trees and mend the fences. He
found time to help with tho potatoes
and fingered around n day or two
planting grape vines as he had learned
to do in sunny Italy. Then it occurred
to him that maybe he had just as we'll
remain until the vines bore the purple
grape, and he asked Marguerite about
it, and she did not think the idea u
bad one Mt all. SO the mule WAS
hitched to the wagon, and the pair
came to town for the marriage license
and the wedding coat for the groom 4
broad shoulders, both of which were
paid for in Marguerite's gold. Tho
Wedding TOOK place Sunday at Valdese,
where Pastor Vinay pronounced Mar
guerite and John man and wife.

BRADSTREETS REPORT.
Trade at the South Quiet. Strength of Rice
Feature.

NRw YORK. Bradstreet's report
says:
The movement of general merchan-
disc throughout the country is smaller
in volume. Spring trade is finished,
and orders for fall delivery are, with
few exceptions, not meeting expecta-
tions. Jobbers in leading lines at
almost all larger cities report sales
almost without exception as of n hand
to-mouth description.
The extension Of the coal and coke
strike accompanied by riots at Cleve-
land and Mesaba, has emphasized tue
depression. The industrial situation,
therefore, has no improvement. Strikes
of iron ore miners, among the building
trades, with an extension of the coal
miners strike, and the almost total
cessation of operations in the coke re-
gions, have swelled the total number
of idle industrial workers to fully 215,
900. Shut-downs of industrial con-
Germs dependent on coke or soft coal
for fuel are increasing, notwithStand-
ing an attempt of coal operatives and
operators to get together to arrange a
basis OF settlement.
There is more animation in demand
for lumber aud leather ut tPhiladelpbia,
but increased prices for Besscmer pig
iron and steel billets ut PittsburG aud
other points. due in part to the search
ty of fuel, have not res:'itcd in more
orders.
Throughout the South trade has re-
mnin"l very uniformly quiet, cxcep-
tions being ut Charleston, Augusta and
New Orleans. The strength of rice is
feature. At Baltimore, quiet pre-
walls in all lines of trade, and Mt Gin
cinnati merchandise markets are dull
and manufacturers working on small
orders. A few manufacturing lines mt
Louisville report April business equal
to 1893, but almost all others say it is
from 10 to 80 per cent. smaller. The
Nashville money market is weaker,
but at Memphis and Chattanooga :hcra
is no change in trade froS keck
in any direction. Wholesai grocers
at Atlanta report the only activity
noted in staple lines, and the Savannah
naval stores market is firm. Only a
moderate volume of trade hns taken
place at Mobile, and Birmingham
fraLkly admits the coal strike has fur
ther checked sales by johbers.

Some Great Emergency.
= The Washington Post of Wednesday
published a statement from Gen. John
G. New referring to the report that his
son, Harry $. New, OF the Indianapolis
Journal, had publicly announced the
candidacy of Mr.. Harrison for the

''The story is fake and my son has
given utterance to no such expression. -
Gen. New, weighing his words with
the utmost deliberation and emphasis,
continued, the Post says:
"You can state as coming from me
that Mr.. Harrison will not be candi-
date in 1896. He has made no efforts
in that direction, and will make none,
neither will his friends
"Iohort of some great emergency or
contingency like that which induces
the patriot to take up arms for his
country, Mr.. Harrison's name Will not
go before the Republican national
convention.
"This is in accord with his own
wishes, and, knowing his sentiment on
the subject SO we'll, 1 do not hesitate to
brand the dispatch from Chicago as g
fake"

considerable credit for the reforms
which he has inaugurated in the Ger

whose comfort and welfare are now
studied to much greater extent than
ever before. The weight ofthe equip

collar around the throat has been
superseded by loose and open one,
allowing the man to move his head
and neck without difficult and to
breathe with greater ease on the

in the matter, and are taking leaf
