Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 11.-This morn
ing the upper stories of the group OF
handsome parliament buildings in this
city are practically in ruins, fierce

the saving of the most priceless dOcu-
mentS in some of the departments
which the flames have not yet touch
ed, but the undertaking is SO danger
Gus that the tiremen hesitate to I'M
dertake the work.

NEW ENGLISH PLAY.

London, Feb. 12-The "Enchan-
tress," produced at the Avenue theatre
last night is less a play than a series
of charming tableaux.
The dramatic story has for its sub
ject England's greatest hero, Lord Mel
son. The story begins with an intri-
que existing between Lady Hamilton
and Charles Greville, then touched up
on by the episode of Sir VIM. Hamil-
toms infatuation and the transfer OF
the protection OF the young womann
from nephew to uncle and her infiu-
ence upon the career of the latter. One
of the most effective portions of the
fiction is the first meeting between
Nelson and Emma Hart at the door
of Rmnys studio. The play, however,
affords little scope for good acting.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell, who assumed
the role of Lady Hamilton was win
some and graceful in the most exquis-
lite of the scenes. Forbes Robinson as
Lord Nelson was admirable. The play
was we'll received.

j. w. Patterson, of Scio, who was
elected constable on the populist ticket
in June, and was appointed deputy
sheriff by Sheriff Gaines, was in AL
hany yesterday searching, he said, for
an escaped convict named Pepperlin.
Patterson evidently did not search
IN the right place, as by noon he was
bowling drunk and was soon after
landed in Jail. He wore q big six
shooter buckled about his person, and
standing in the Russ House waiting
room he posed as a bad man with
blood in his eye. He addressed the
dozen or so men present in drunken
abuse and fiourished his revolver about
in threatening way. The bystanders
quickly got out Of harms way and
Mr.. Rowell telephoned for an officer.
Acting Marshal Williamson was at
the depot, and Sheriff Gaines came to
take charge of the offender. He fought
like a madman, but with the aid of
Fl. F. Hulburt he was disarmed and
hustled off to Jail.
