was enveloped in flames. She had the pres

A BELFAST CAPTAIN IMPRISONED. One of
our enterprising sea captains, who has been
| in Cuba and other countries where troubous
| times were rife, and who was never arrested
in his life, was prisoner in one of Belfasts
churches awhile Sunday, and his wife was
incarcerated with him. They went into the
church while the young peoples meeting
was in progress, and, not knowing that the
evening meeting was given up, went up
| stairs and sat down to wait for the later ser
vice. The meeting down stairs closed and
the captain and his companion soon began
| to wonder why no one came up, and why
the lights were not turned on. In few
minutes all was still below and the worthy
couple found themselves locked in. 1t was
some time before they could attract the
| attention of passer-by, and some
time longer before key could be found and
the prisoners liberated They did not lose
| courage, however, but went to the Opera
House and attended the good citizens
meeting.
