 sale stock.
 c. E. Longley & Co.,, as usual, display rare energy and business enterprise, and will give the people of New Haven an opportunity to secure good clothing at astonishing low figures. Messrs. Longley & Co, have been in correspon- dence with Thompson, Willis & New gent of Boston, Mass, and have pur- chased that firms entire stock of $50, 900 worth of clothing.
 The firm of Thompson, Willis & New gent have always borne an excellent reputation as makers of the best grades of clothing, Bringing to this city at auction prices such a splendid stock of goods certainly merits the patronage of people who appreciate an opportunity for saving q dollar and getting first class goods at reasonable prices. Messrs. Longley & Go. secured the whole stock named at a bargain, and as a conse- quence the goods are to be sold at a price barely above half the wholesale price. This opportunity for bargains ought not to be missed.

LEWISTON'S BIC FIRE.
Ono Life Lost With tho Lake Steamer
Cibola.


Cibola.
The most disastrous fire that ever visited
Lewiston, N. T., occurred early few morn
ings ago. At o'clock fire broke out on
the steamer Cibola, which plies between
Lewiston and Toronto. Canada, and by
daylight the splendid vessel was shoulder
ing wreck. burned to the waters edge.
and her third engineer had died lingering
death in the pent-up hold. The American
Hotel and the Custom House, which caught
fire from the blazing boat, were destroyed.
1t was just one o'clock when the watchman
OF the Cibola discovered fire in the oilroom
and shouted the alarm.
Meanwhile on the doomed boat there was
the widest confusion. In two minutes after
the fire was discovered the Cibola was ablaze
from stern to how. The majority OF the
crew, thity-eight in number, slept forward,
and had no great difficulty in escaping,
although some Of the men were scorched.
Down below slept Chief Engineer Walsh, Sec
ond Engineer Woodward and Third Engineer
William Hammond. They awoke In flame
and smoke. Walsh and Woodward escaped
after terrible struggle, being just able to
overheard. Both were badly burned. Ham,
mond failed to reach the deck. whence he
could leap into the water, and fled below,
where he could be heard crying for help.
While he was still alive the boat burned from
its moorings, drifted slowly out into
the river, and lighted the broad e1-
panse Of water until it seemed as bright rs
MONDAY. The Canadian hills were illumin-
ated by the glow, and high up on the noun
tain the statue of Brock stood out in striking
relief against the darkness. 1t was an i'm
pressive sight. John Wilson. fisherman,
rowed after the burning steamer. He could
hear Hammond family calling for help for
fully fifteen minutes, then his voice was
stilled, and he was heard no more.
From the CIboa the flames spread to the
piles and thence to the American House, kept
by Henry Cornell. Despite the efforts of 100
men the fire slowly gained On the building,
and by sunrise it was in ashes. Much OF the
furniture was saved. The Custom House
also caught fire and was burned with all its
records
The steel null OF the Cibola drifted two
miles down the river and ran aground.
Hammond's charred body was found in the
boat 1t was removed to Lewiston and al
inquest held. Hammond was thirty years
old and unmarried. He lived in Toronto.
Nothing is left OF the Cibola. but the iron
hull. one smokestack and one paddlebox.
The hull will be towed to Niagara Ont. The
loss on the vessel is fully t225,00O. The
American Hotel was one of the oldest hostel
ries in Western New York, having been built
In 1876 by Ezra Cornell, grandfather of the
present owner. Mr. Cornell estimates his
loss 1T $4,000. The Bell Telephone sta
ton was DESTROYED.

important part in its banking affairs than
they perhaps realize. They havea large in

ployes, shareholders. directors and officers.
James H. Eckels. Comptroller OF the Cur
rency. has compiled some interesting figures
showing in part the interest of women in
banking. The statistics cover both the Ma
tional and State banks, and were obtained

According to the showing. the number Of

shares is 2+.4 and OF capital 1879. The num-
Der of individual women holders OF National
bank stock is 70,697.
1t is rather curious to note tina. the women

A FAMILY OF FIVE DROWNED.
Ono Child In the Mothers Arms and On,
Entangled In Toy Boat.

Ono Child In the Mothers Arms and One
Entangled In Toy Boat.
Perry Tufts, forty-ave years old, the
owner OF a small vineyard near Gibson's
Landing, his wife and three children were
drowned near Sanderson's dock on Bluff
Point, Lake Kenka, N. Y. Two of the chill
dren were girls, and all were under ten years
of age.
Tufts started out in small boat with his
family at 9 o'clock q. m. He intended to &C
to Bluff Point to pick currants and take a
days outing. The boat had a small sail,
which probably was too heuvy for it in the
high wind.
Nobody witnessed the accident, which ia
supposed to have occurred at about II
o'clock. as Tuffts's watch stopped Mt that
hour. People near Sandersons dock noticed
in the water al object which proved to be
the toy boat that one Of the children had
been towing. The string OF the boat was
soon seen to be tangled round the body OF
the child. A boat was procured, and the bod.
les Of the family were taken from the water.
One of the children was in the mothers
arms.
The water was about sixteen feet deep
where the bodies were found. The boat was
found afterward floating bottom up.
