DR.. j. W. Ring, practioing physician
OF Elkin, Surry county, N. c., and sew
eral members of his family, have been
critically i'll for several days. 1t is now
announced that the sickness was caused
by the attempt Of the DOCTORS 16-year
old son to poison his father by putting
arsenic In a prescription. The young
man was angry because his father de-
MED him something. He has fled.
1t is reported that Russia and China
Lave made treaty by. which China. in
consideration of the northern Powers
good offices in backing her bills upon
France for paltry sum which England
would have supplied Internationally,
and in combining with Germany and
France to drive the Japanese out of Lilac
Tupg, places any or all of her harbors
at Russia's disposal for belligerent pur-
poses and also permits Russia to secretly
raise levies, buy horses and obtain coolies
in Chinese territory.

Portsmouth Visited by ser,ou. Fire.

Portsmouth, N. H., March 2S.-A gen.
eral alarm of fire was sounded at 10. So
this morning from box 5S, calling the de-
partment to the Universalist church,
whore brisk fire was in progress. The
wind was blowing gale at the time and
in less than an hour the large church
was in ruins. Tt was a wooden structure,
| 1876 feet by so feet. and two and a half
stories high. The sparks from the church
| fire spread over the southern part of
| the city, and at II. 80 there were IA build
ings ablaze, and the chief engineer called
upon the Portsmouth Navy Yard de.
partment for assistance, and two steam
ers were dispatched. The citizens in that
section of the city were running about
| terror stricken, and every building with
in a quarter of mile of the church was
fire.
The historic old Goodrich house on
Pleasant street, owned by Susan j.
Wentworth, was destroyed. and the resi-
dence of John. O.sAyres was badly dam
aged. The citizens generally mustered
themselves into the department. and
ool uSSlCu w SAVE ouo puslucHS tHtl SOUTH
ern part of the city, which appeared
doomed by the fire.
Every foot of hose that could be used
was attached to the hydrants, while six
steamers played from the reservoir. At
10 80 the fire was spreading, but there
is little chance now of much additional
loss. The wind has subsidized and the
new fires are from sparks which are
quickly extinguished. The loss on the
Universalist church property is $40, 600,
with $1,000 insurance. At IL. 35 the fire.
men have been summoned to Melcher
str eet. where a lively blaze is in progress.
At IL. 35 the fire was under control and
Chief Engineer Randall and his assjs
tants are giving their attention to tho
roughly wetting every building in the
vicinity of the fire district The loss to
buildings at the South End will be
slight az the fremen were scattered over
the district with extinguishers, and with
about 30 streams from hydrants they
succeeded in extinguishing the fires as
fast as they made their appearance OH
roofs. The total loss is $40, 900.
The church contained pipe organ
which cost $500. The church bell. which
weighed 1000 pounds, was cast by Paul
Revere of Revolutionary fame. The
building and contents were insured for
only $4,000 and the loss will be q heavy
one to the society.
