VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. 3.-China-

mills, near Nanaimo, the coal center Of
the province, have been almost COM
pletely destroyed by fire and a number
of Chinese burned to death
After work, the Mongolians built a
huge fire in the center of the Chinese
quarter and proceeded to smoke opium
All became befuddied and the flames
catching the flimsy cabins of the settle
ment, gained Roadway before the opium
drugged Chinese realized their predica-
ment. Then they rushed biindly into
the flames Scenes of the widest de-
scription were witnessed by the white
settlers, who went to the rescue.
The fimsy shacks burned fercely,
and soon they were mass of smoking
ruins, 1t was then asceTtained that at
least two Chinese burned to death. A
number of others were badly burned,
and it is reported that several others

COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 3.-The most
serious conaagration which has visited
Columbus since the 81 100000 Chisten-

the night. Half block of buildings III
the heart of the business portion of the
town were destroyed before the flames
were gotten under control The fire is
thought to have started in the basement
of the Dunlap building, occupied by the
Chicago Bankrupt Clothing company.
1t swept up the elevator shaft and soon
the whole building was ablaze. Several
alarms were sent in and the whole de-
partment, although doing their best
work, seemed to have little effect in
staying the progress of the flames, The
audience in the High Street theatre,
which is across an alley from the burn
ing block, was dismissed in a hurry and
this crowd was soon swelled to enor-
nous proportions by d
Mob of Excited People
from all parts Of the city. The fire
soor communicated to the Jones block
on the left and Souldan & Bright
building on the right, and these, with
the wholesale millinery store Of Soulden
& Bright and the store Of D. S. Anbach,
clothing, were az complete wrecks as
the Dunlap building. AT 1f:3o, with
scarcely any warning. the front and
rear walls of the Dunlap building, as
though rent asunder by an explosion,
fell, the one on High street and the
other completely filling the alley in the
rear with bricks aud debris. Fortu-
nately the police had kept the street
fairly clear or the loss of life would
have been enormous. AS it was several
fremen were injured. The property
loss is in the neighborhood Of 81 900, 600.

DICKENS GAVE HIM ADVICE.


Fooilsa1ness RabMsked.
A commercial traveller OF England
has uaeaEthed a renainisceace of
Charles Dickens which is of interest.
Speaking to some acquainta0ces, he
said:
Twill tell you little story which
have never told to any one outside
my own family. About As years ago
was going nay first round, and at
Gloucester station had to wait two
hours. / was travelling in iewelry
and had with me number OF very
valuable specimens. A lot of pas
sengers were waiting, and most of
us went into the refreshment room,
where very pretty young lady was
serving out sandwiches and coffee.
Twas very young under 20-and in
order to pass away the tlnae l chat
ted with the young lady as young
man did in the Old days and as, j
suppose, any young man would do
today and will for all time Pres
entity opened my case and drew
out lady's very handsome watch.
the back of which was studded with
diamonds. 1t was worth about $500.
How would you like me to make
you present of thisa' said / to the
young lady Very much, indeed,
said she and took it and ran off with
it, laughing. This drew general at :
tention to nae and my goods, and ]
were soon surrounded.
'tEt did not occur to me at the time
how foolish | was to act like this In
public, yet l was not sorry when
the train came up and the expensive
watch was handed back to me. /
went out ON the platform, and a gen
tIeman came up to me. Are you
going to Birmingham said he.
Yes, | replied So am |, said he.
Will you come into my carriages'
Then it flashed upon me that the
man had seen my goods and design
ed to rob me. Certainly not, I re-
piled and jumped into a third class
carriage, But the stranger followed
me. You are smart enough in some
respects, he remarked, and you did
quite right to refuse my invitation
But don't be afraid. There are
plenty of bad characters about, and
it is best you should not trayel alone
tonight, and want to tell you, as
you are a young man and / am your
elder, how very dangerous your con
duct has been. Then the stranger
talked so kindly and wisely that 1
could not possibly be offended. What
he said has been lesson to me all
my life. At parting he held out hie
hand.
81 should like to know your
name, said l. for you have acted as
a true friend. There is my card,
said he and went. never saw him
again The old gentleman opened
his pocketbook and Hnwrapped a
card with the utmost care from the
paper in which it was preserved

GER" said he. The card simply ran,

The matter came before the city coun-
Gil in the form of a report from the
committee on fire department, recon-
mending that the resolution to do
away with the night watch, which had
been referred to the committee, ought
not to pass. The board of aldermen
accepted the report. Councilman
Connolly moved to substitute the res
olution for the report, and his motion
prevailed. The vote was as follows:

The resolution to do away with the
night watch in fire department houses
was killed in Inconvenience. The

ought not to pass. The board of al

ing condition, the discipline is good,
and we are fast assuming metropolitan
proportions in the police department;
the old ruts are disappearing, and the
members of the force are being i'm
pressed with the fact that they are
hired to protect the persons, property
and morale of large city. And when
any of them neglect or lose interest in
their calling, they must expect to give
way to others who are more willing and
better fitted for the service. The BIZ
cycle squad detailed on Park avenue
and the outskirts of the city and Off
GERS on horseback, have done excellent
service. The fire in the basement of
station 1 last spring, was
A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
The building throughout, inside and
out, was renovated and new sanitary
appliances put in, and the adjoining
building fitted up for use of the sick
ambulance and surgeons quarters.
There seems to be hardly any limit
to the repairs and changes that must
necessarily be made in this building,
and | think now it would be economy
for the city to dispose of this property
and put up a building for police head
quarters, adapted to it's use, with ac-
commodations for central district court
patrol and ambulance service, sur
seon's and matron's quarters, with en-
trance on some wide street or square.
The second station has been much
repaired and improved inside and out,
the removal of the tramp room giving
much needed light and air.
The removal of tramps from this sta
ton brings up the question, What shall
he done with them? l am in favor of
the project presented to the city coun-
eli lately by large number of prom,-
nent citizens who have taken hold of
this matter and after much investiga
ton presented a humane and feasible
plan for solution of the problems, and
l know Of no better plan than the one
suggested, to make trampsi work for
what they receive.
BY the indefatigable work Of the
committee on police, we have now in
operation the Gamewell police signal
system, at cost of $4,000, with AZ

ance in every respect.

The common council took a stand
against the board of engineers of the
fire department in regard to the night
watch, which has been the practice IN
der the new fire alarm system. Coun-
ciimen Meagher and George c. Hunt
led in the fight for the firemen. Coun-
Gilman Meagher made a potent argu-
ment, in which he said in reference to
the statement of the chief engineer:
cit is case where our opin-
