Cargo I.IbeIed.

Cleveland, Oct. 10. = Owing to the
heavy shipments of grain to Fairport,
Ohio, and the meager elevator accom-
modations, that port now has heavy
blockade of grain boats, and as re-
suit the Lake County Transportation
company, in the United States court,
libeled the cargo of the steamer Poly
nesia, consisting of 1000 bushels of
corn, for $1,750. The Corrigan Transit
company libeled the cargo of tho
steamer Italia, consisting of $4,000
bushels of corn, for $3.50. In both
cases the companies claim the amounts
are due for undue retention of the
boats at Fairport Other suits will be
brought by owners of boats on the
same grounds.

The Boston subway, one of the most
interesting experiments in under
ground rapid transit, was opened, in
part, September first. The section in
use is somewhat less than a mile long,
and extends from the entrance in the
Public Garden to the corner of Park
and fremont streets. 1t is practically
an underground street, holding a part
of the way four tracks, and part of
the way two, SO constructed that there
is no crossing of tracks at the same
grade. Fourteen street car lines, run
ming ninety cars an hour, are using it,
to the great relief of surface travel
on fremont and Boylston streets.

FIREMAN FOUGHT HARD.

Ffremen Some Work

A 100000 Fire Gives New York
Firemen Some Work.
New York, Oct ia 100000 fire
in the seven-story factory building at
279 and 2S1 Spring street, txaed the
engines of the fire department and
twenty engines and a large force or
men were called out. The basement,
first and second floors of the building
were occupied by Fitzpatrick & Co..
manufacturers of mirrors, plate glass,
stained glass, coach and carriage win
dows and doors. The five upper floors
were occupied by the Bradley-Currier
company, manufacturers of doors
sashes, frames and mantels of the
most expensive sort. This firm had
among it's stock the dryest of woods
and the most infiammable oils and var
nishes. Firemen were called to eX-
tinguish a small fire in the basement
and were going away when flames
were discovered on the ground floor.
1t was apparent that an extensive fire
was in progress in the tall structure
and alarm after alarm was sounded,
calling for more men and steamers.
The firemen fought as best they could
but could not save the factory. The
fire had been allowed too much of
foothold and the immense structure
was doomed. After an hour or so the
floors became weakened and one after
another gave away and at last the
flames shot up through the roof.

New Orleans Has "a Few More Cases
and Several Deaths.
New Orleans, Oct. 10. While the
new cases did not run up rapidly here
yesterday, the deaths were somewhat
numerous, comparatively speaking,
having reached five as early as
o'clock in the evening. One of the
fatal cases, however, presented the
same old story of neglect and conceal
ment. The agitation against the quar-
antfne regulations Of the board OF
health is encouraging violations Of the
regulations. There is a very consider
able sentiment against continuing the
quarantine system, and the result is
that the board of health, having re-
duced the number of it's guards in
mates of houses are slipping out into
the streets whenever they have mind
to. The belief is growing that the
board will not seek much longer to
maintain the quarantine system by
which it is hoped to keep down the
fever.

Disastrous Fire in CALIFORNIA;
Town.


Town.
Iowa Hill, Cal, Oct. 19.-Iowa Hill, a
mining town situated in the mountains
of Placer county, was visited by a
most damaging fire. The fire started
in the Central hotel and within few
moments the hotel was a mass Of
flames and the walls falling in. Two
of the dodgers in the hotel, William
Golden and William Owens, persisted
in the flames. From the position of the
remains of William Golden it is sup
posed he never awakened. William
Owens, it is supposed, leaped from his
room in the second story, but, landing
on fence, was seriously injured and
unable to go further. The remains OF
both were burned beyond recognition
and the only means of Identification
was the location Of their rooms in the
hotel and the position of the bodies in
the ruins.

AWFUL CALAMITY
A Town In Nova Scotia Devastated
BY Fire.


Halifax, n. S., Oct. 10. = Historic
Windsor, one of the most beautiful
towns in the province, was devastated
by fire. For six hours the fire. famed
by a violent northwest gale, ragged so
fiercely that the local fire department
was absolutely helpless to cope with
it. and within half an hour after Its
discovery the mayor began to call for
outside assistance. The fire started at
3 a. M. Long before noon the town
had been eaten up almost completely.
the area covered by the flames being
nearly mile square, and of the 4OO or
more buildings occupying the section,
barely half a dozen Sc0rched Struc-
lures remain.
Among the buildings that escaped
were the Windsor Cotton factory,
Kings college, the Anglican church,
the Edgehill school for girls and the
Buffrin hotel. The latter is the only
hotel standing. No Nova Scotia town
has ever been visited by 2 conhagra-
ton of such dimensions. OF the $500
people that inhabited the place, few
now have homes of their own. over
1000 have been taken in by the resi-
dents of the surrounding country ana
neighboring towns. while the remain
der of the sufferers have gone to
Halifax or are sheltered in army tents
erected in the vacant plats tonight by
q detachment of British troops from
the garrison city. The disaster is ap-
paling in it's extent. Fortunately no
lives were lost. In the hurry and ex-
element horses and cattle in the
stables were forgottenand many per-
ished in the flames or were suffocafed
from smoke.
The total loss is estimated roughly
at S3,OOO,OOO. While number of the
heaviest losers are partially insured
and some of them pretty we'll covered,
the total insurance is calculated to be
not more than hilf a million.

Wilhelmina, the young girl who will

to marry the prince her mother picked
out for her and insists on choosing her,

the man who is to be her husband.
That is sheer rebellion. No prospective

to such privileges. They are reserved
solely for the young sovereigns of the
