THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Remarkable Landslide.


An Immense Tract Slips into the 81.
Anne River in the Province of Ou.bec.
A Quebec despatch gives an account of a
landslide of remarkable proportions which
occurred last Friday night, at the little viii
lage of st. Alban, 40 miles from Quebec
on the st. Anne river. About $50 in the
evening the land began to vibrate strangely
and the people ran from their dwellings.
AT the upper end of the village is a curve
formed by the river, and close to the curve
is waterfall $50 feet high. The ground
forming the right hand side of the fall
gave way, burying pulp wood mill, which
was underneath, and blocking the course
OF the stream for distance of five miles.
The stream, which was very rapid on ac-
count of melting snow, spread over the ad-
joining farms and caused the badly stayed
or undermined embankment to slide into
the river, filling it up. Seven houses were
carried into the river, one of which CON
tanned family of four persons. The ground
which slid into the river measured about
six square miles. Whole farms were de-
stroyed, with their stock and farm produce.
The old bed of the st. Anne river is now
leveled and the river runs miles from
where it cOursed before. Three bridges
were carried away.
1t is believed that the annual rush of
water down from the mountains had
honeycombed the lower strata of the land,
which was of clay, causing it finally to give
way. Large tracts of land with trees and
vegetation were shifted without disturb
ance while in other places the land was
completely turned over. The st. Lawrence
at Quebec was covered with wreckage and
Carcasses of animals.

Memorial Day.
Commander Branch's suggestions to

schools.

Commander Branch's suggestions to
Comrades, Citizens and the Public
schools.
Department Commander Branch has is
sued a general order in regard to the forth
coming Memorial day celebration, in which
he urges on the veterans that the days OBJ
servance ought to be more general than
ever before, and expresses the hope that,
'in accordance with the usages of the day,
the entire people will Join in the memorial
services" Every Grand Army post, all
who wore the blue, relief corps and the
children of veterans are urged to attend
church in body, at some previously ar
ranged place, on the Sunday before Memo
rial day. This suggestion with regard to
the public schools is especially to be noted
'In the afternoon of the day preceding
Memorial day, it is requested that every
public school in our state dispense with the
usual custom of recitatiOns, and devote
the afternoon to study, or review, of the
causes, incidents and results of the rebel
lion. such an afternoon service can be
rendered very interesting and instructive
with a little preparation, in readings, reel
tations and songs, with remarks from the
teachers, and from one or more residents
of the district, which will prove valuable
lesson of loyalty and patriotism to the
young. On Memorial day it is requested
that all the public and private schools be
asked to Join in the exercises of the ocCa-
sion, and that they may be made to feel
that each has part to perform; be it only
to lay a wreath or flower above the rest
ing place of a comIade or friend.

Mexican Troops Slaughtered by Indians.

The story comes this week of the
slaughter, early in March, of a troop of
Mexican soldiers by the Yaqui Indians.
The soldiers were pursuing the Indians in
the Sierra de Bacatel mountains in north
ern Mexico. On the afternoon of March
the trail led into deep canon or detile,
on either side of which the mountains rose
to the height of 2000 feet, Half the dan
gerous locality had been traversed, when
suddenly huge masses of rocks and bowl
ders came bounding from wall to wall
down upon the hemmed-in column. crush
ing horses and riders into shapeless heaps.
The war cries of the Yaquis were heard,
and the Indians began firing volleys di-
rectly into the struggling mass below.
Those who were unhurt started back
down the canon. The number killed can
not be accurately stated, but out of col
umn of 800 men, it is reported at least 200
were either killed or wounded.

Rig SnIesntLoM Prices.

Some 10000 packages of hannels and
blankets, valued at nearly s., OOOO 600, have
been sold at auction in New York this
week. As a test of the strength of the
market, the sales were not encouraging.
The prices realized were from 20 to 10 per
cent below the scheduled prices of selling
agents and the movement of the goods at
this great sacrifice was not as brisk as eX-
pected. The delay and uncertainty still
prevailing at Washington and the labor
disturbances are causing greater conserva-
tsm in mercantile circles.

Charged With Murder.


Sheriff Sullowsbury returned to st.
Johnsbury Saturday from Burlington,
where he arrested Ghoor, a Syrian peddler,
charged with numbering John Abbott,
fellow peddler, last December. Both were
travelling through Vermont. At Groton
the snow was two feet deep and Ghoor
claims that Abbott became lost in the
woods. Ghoor's stories do not agree and
murder is suspected. Abbott had so with
him. His brother, who lives in North Adj
ans, heard OF his disappearance through
another peddler and Immediately went to
Groton and with State Attorney Bates of
St.Johnsbury, found a peddler's pack in the
Groton woods. Abbotts body is not yet
found, though a posse of 30 men is still
searching. Ghoor is fairly well educated,
but talks poor English. He tells a long
story how Abbott was lost in the woods.
GhOor claims that Abbott remained in the
woods while he went further for help. At
the time of Abbott's disappearance foul
play was suspected.

fire was confined to the elevator. The
