A Narrow Escape.

Yesterday morning on Middle street at
the corner of Chapel, the baby daughter
of j. Press who keeps millinery store
at the corner, was playing in the street.
. The child is not more than two years old.
She was seated on the paving stones in
; the street, playing with other children.
BY their side were the jagged fragments
of broken glass bottle, run over and
splintered into small pieces by passing
teams. A heavy truck team of the firm
of Houghton. Clark & Co., passed along
and the children attempted to catch q
ride, as they always do. The driver
warned them off and kept looking be-
hind to see that none got on. Just at
this. time the baby in the street crawled
directly in front of the horses. The driv-
er, watching the other children. did not
see her, and the child passed directly be-
tween the horses under the dray. There
is nine inches of space between the bot
tom OF the team and the street, and the
child is so small she would have gone I'M
der all right, but her clothes caught some
how and she was dragged face down
through the broken glass, cutting her
little arms and face in a serious manner.
She was carried into the store and a
doctor sent for who dressed her wounds.
Although badly cut she will probably
escape with several scars.

~ The Old Orchard races were postponed

Last night was a busy one with the
police and the jag wagon seemed to be
on the go about all the time. A regular
epidemic of intoxication seemed to have
struck the town and up to midnight the
officers had about all they could attend to.

moved it don't know. He corroborated
what Chambers had said alb >ut their both
leaving the store Saturday night together
and his missing the last car. Somebody
came over to the house and woke them up
and told them of the fire. He dressed and
went to the store but the all out had been
sounded and there was no one there but a
few loafers. Don't remember whether
the door into the back shop was closed
when went home. am confident I
pulled down the blinds. He then told
about the insurance and said there was
no mortgagee's interest inserted in the
policies. Mr.. Stephenson had no insur-
ance on the building. He held the lease
to secure his debt and didn't care. He
thought the fire was set.
Mr.. E. o. Stephenson's evidence sub
stantiated Mr.. Thompson's story about
the latter's Indebtedness to him and how
it had been paid. He had no key to
Thompson's store. Occasionally went in
there. He thought the fire might have
taken from the leaking of the oil tank in
the back shop. It leaked when he was
proprietor of the store several years ago.
Mr.. Jacob Schiebe's testimony threw. no
light on the origin of the fire.
Chief Eldridge testified he reached the
fire about fire minutes after the alarm
and was one of the first that entered the
store along with the captain of the
chemical. Didn't notice whether the
curtains were up or down. Would say to
the best of his recollection they were
pulled down. The fire was in the back
store and well advanced. Noticed no odor
of gasoline, benzine or anything Of the
kind. The oil tank was down when he
entered the shop. They had to break open
the front door to get into the store. They
started to open a front window but
whether it was locked he didn't know.
There were no indications that the front
store had been entered by an incendiary
Here the case closed
Alderman Rounds asked who pulled the
alarm and Deputy Hartnet said young
man, a stranger, stopping at one of the
hotels.

A Budding Utopia.

In the township of Deer Greek, about
six miles from Stetsonville, there was re-
Gently located colony Of unemployed
men which proposes to work to certain
extent along cooperative lines similar to
those proposed by Debs. This colony now
numbers about forty members, part of
whom are married and have families.
They have acquired about 200 acres OF
wild land and as family have begun to
subdue it. At present the colony is engag-
ed in telling the hemlock timber in the
newly taken property and stripping it OF
it's bark which is readily !salable at the
sole leather tannery twelve miles away.
Though they have been organized about
six weeks and have been on the property
for only three weeks, they have already
erected comfortable camp houses in which
to dwell and generally provided for their
comfort in living as best they can in so
new q territory.

The reports of the damage done by
the storms and floods in Central and
Southern France have been so brief
and meager in details that few persons
have appreciated the extent Of the dis
aster. So much of the country has been
cut off and rendered inaccessible that
only unofficial estimates can be made.
1t is known, however that at least 300
lives have been lost, and that thou
sands have been made homeless, while
the amount Of property destroyed is
placed at conservative valuation at
40 millions Of dollars In one place
alone town of L'Isle- en-Dodon, ON
small island In the River Save-293
houses were carried away by the food.
The suffering of the people who have
lost their all in this calamity will be
intense for time, but the French re-
cuperate rapidly and will not long re-
main depressed. 1t is much to be feared
when the waters subside somewhat
and admit of closer examination of the
the affected districts that the loss of
life will prove to have been underesti-
mated. The storm came ON the people
without warning, and they were help
less before it's fury.
