two other officers and twenty-five privates
were killed.
A BOILER exploded last Wednesday In
the print works OF Noriega Brothers, at
Pueblo, Mexico, causing the death OF twenty
persons. part OF the boiler was carried
high in the air and precipitated upon the
roof OF house in the neighborhood, killing
an old man and three children. An iron
beam from the works was hurled through
the roof OF another house, carrying away

FURTHER interviews with officers OF the
steamer "Huheh" elicit the fact that
twenty-five Catholic monks were roasted by
the rebels in the Philippine Islands and not
by Spanish troops as previously reported.
The inform alton was furnished by promi-
nent resident Of lilo lilo, in the group of
islands, and corroborated by the Spanish
troops. The customary mode Of roasting
sucking pigs in the island is by thrusting
bamboo through the pig and then fastening
IT to an iron and roasting it over slow fire.
This was done to the monks, the bamboo
being thrust through them while they were
alive.
The steamer Empress of Japan" brought
last week to Vancouver, d. g., news OF a
LB S.rouS accident which befell the fisher
men OF Chusan Archipelago, off the coast of
China. On May 6, when m ost OF the fishing
boats were out on the fishing banks ter
rife gale sprang up. OF the several hun
dred boats out at the time very few returned
and II is estimated that five hundred men
lost their lives The fishermen had no
chance to seek shelter. Their light boats
were smashed and they were left to fight a
hopeless battle with the waves. The storm
swept over the entire archipelago which ex-
tends across the mouth Of Hanchow bay on
the eastern coast of China. Several large
j1nks we're lost in which scores persisted.
THE desolation wrought by the cloud
burst which caused the river Morgue in
France, to overflow its banks was far more
extended than was at first supposed. The
deluge OF water caused enormous land
slides of trees and sand from the mountains
into the valley, overwhelming houses,
burying cattle and destroying other prop
erty. In many villages the fleeing inhabi-
tants left everything behind them. Almost
all the riverside factories were destroyed
and no fewer than 500 workshops were de.
stroyed. The town of Voiron presents a
lamentable appearance. All the bridges
are gone and the streets are filled with
masses OF debris washed out from the fac
tories and shops, bale CLOTH rolls OF silk and
similar manufactured products, and the
roads OF the town and the district round
about are simply impossible and choked
with wrecks and fallen trees, or quilted
with great wasbouts.

The First Marriage In Dayton.

Aug 2S, 1900, is noted as the date OF
the first wedding in Dayton. On that day
Benjamin Van Cleve was married to Mary
Written at her fathers house on his farm,
a short distance from town. Mr.. Van Cleye
makes this characteristic record of the
event In his diary: "This year l raised
crop of corn and determined on settling
myself and having home. accordingly,
on the 2Sth of August, married Mary
Whitten, daughter of John Written, near
Dayton. She was young, lively and ingen-
uous. My property was a horse creature
and few farming utensils, and her father
gave her few household or kitchen uten-
sils so that we could make Shift to cook
our provisions; bed, a COW and heifer, a
eve and two lambs, "A sow and pigs and a

and vegetables growing; so that If we were
not rich we had sufficient for our immedi-
ate wants, and we were contented and
happy"

awhile, we could see that she was getting
better. People often asked How did
