of life and property from the cruel

But this population, as a whole,
must remember that in order to

the citizens OF this town organized
themselves into Voluntary Fire
Department, consisting OF three
different companies. We must
not loose sight Of the fact that the
members of these companies im-
posed a monthly tax upon them

Fire In an Orphan Asylum at SparkiIl, N.
Y, With 400 Inmates.
SPARK1LL, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Fire that
broke out at a. m. destroyed nine Of
the 10 buildings of the St. Agnes con.
vent and orphanage, entailing a loss Of
$780, 900 and causing the death of four
persons. The dead are:
HELEN BROWN, aged s.
EMMA MACKIN, aged T.
JANE pensioner, aged 70.
MARY KATE MCCARTHY, aged %.
The missing are:
Therese Murphy, aged II.
Mary Brown, aged 4.
Twenty five inmates were injured by
falls, jumps and burns. That more
lives We're not lost was due to the hero
ism OF the sisters and some of the older
inmates. When the fire broke out the
400 inmates of the institution were
asleep. Most Of them We're gotten out
in almost perfect order, but a score who
risked their lives to save others were
finally forced to either jump from the
upper stories or make desperate dashes
through stairways filed with flames
and smoke.

pie came from all parts Of the state to

landed at o'clock and were given a
breakfast at the ferry building.
Then they marched to the Preside,
escorted by the Third artillery, the

Pitiable Scene at Cape Town.

LONDON, Aug. 3o.-The Cape Town
correspondent of the Daily Mail, says:
ga pitiable scene was witnessed at the
railway station today on the arrival
from Johannesburg of 100 children
whose parents are too poor to come
themselves. 1t is estimated that Ii, 900
people have left the Transvaal since the
crisis began. Bechuanaland is in a
state of ferment owing to the fears of
Boer raid. General Powells force is
wholly inadequate to protect such an
extended frontier and the Beers appear
to be quietly assembling in the west part
of the Transvaal. A Boer spy has been
arrested in Ramattabampa, in British
Bechuanaland.

1FahsFaal has Ihat NUMBER OF Trained
Soldiers Within Its Limits.
LONDON, Aug. 0.-Commenting on
the declaration of President Kruger of
the Transvaal government to the effect
that the South African republic ad-
hered to its latest offer and would not
make any further concessions, the aft
ernoon papers here unanimously draw
attention to the increased seriousness of
the Transvaal situation
The Westminster Gazette, while
lamenting the immoderation, which, it
says, led to the present crisis, admits
that "the country is within sight of
war which may shortly be as unavoid-
able as on the merits of the question it
would be inexcusable. To whatever
dispatch or conditions President Kru-
gers defiant remark referred, it has
brought home sharply the keen posi-
bility of an impending war against no
weak-kneed adversary. 1t is said that
with recruits from over the borders the
Transvaal would have about &C, 900 men
at its disposal, whereas the most the
British now could throw on the frontier
would be 10000, though of course this
number would be materially increased
in month"

Renewal of Serious Rioting and Disorder
at Cleveland,

RENEWAL OF Serious Rioting and Disorder
at Cleveland,
CLEVELAND, Aug. 30.-Rioting and
disorder, in connection with the strike
on the lines of the Big Consolidated,
occurred last night, and four cars We're
nearly destroyed, while the crews were
compelled to flee for their lives. 1t was
after determined efforts on the part of
80 policemen under Captain Bradley
that order was finally restored.
The first rioting of the evening oc-
Cured on Central avenue, near the rail
road crossing, where an eastbound car
jumped the track at the derailing
switch. It was about o'clock and
workingmen We're returning home from
the factories and mills in the vicinity.
A mob Of several hundred people soon
gathered and the lawless element began
to stone the car and crew. Another
eastbound car soon arrived at the cross
ing and was brought to a standstill
The motormen and conductors We're
pulled from the cars and only succeeded
in escaping after passing through a
gantlet Of. rocks and stones. The crew
OF the first car Jared as badly, and even
worse, the motorman being badly in
jured. A westbound car was also
stopped at the crossing and the crew
was nearly mobbed by the now frantic
crowd. The front and rear vestibules
of all cars were utterly destroyed, while
every window was broken. They pre-
sented dilapidated appearance when
taken to the barns by the wrecking crew.
Later in the evening mob Of about
5000 people gathered at the corner of
Central and Lincoln avenues, which is
residence portion of the city. The
crew OF this car was saved from serious
injury by the arrival of detachment of
policemen. 1t is expected many arrests
will follow the outrages.
