CURRENT AFFAIRS.
Immense Fire Losses.

The year 1900 will go down on the rec
ords of the fire insurance companies as
one of immense losses. Property destroy
ed by fire in the first six months of this
year represented $103, 29S, 900, against
S65, 500, $50 in the corresponding period in
100, and SOS, 237, 100 in '9s. The total loss
in this country and Canada in June was
S21, PSI 900. There was only one big fire
in Canada in June, but there were confa-
grations in all parts of the United States,
the one at Hoboken, n. j., with financial
loss of So, $780, 900 being the severest. At
a recent meeting of the National Fire Pro
lection association in New York last week
its president, A. C. Crosby, spoke at
length OF the enormous fine American peo-
pie are paying for their carelessness. He
placed the fire loss in this country in 1899
at $l53, 900, 600, and said that the value of
property destroyed in the United States
since the close of the war between the
North and South amounted to hundreds
OF millions of dollars in excess of the en-
tire cost of the civil war, and yet the
money value of property destroyed does
not by any means measure the entire loss
by fire. The many homes destroyed, fam
lilies scattered, business industries crippled,
the savings Of lifetime swept away, and
with it, perhaps, the will and energy to be-
gin the struggle anew-this is but part
OF the consequential loss incident to de-
struction by fire.

closing day of the Democratic national

of David b. Hill of New York for vice
Grady, the "silver tongued orator" of the
Empire state. The convention instantly
broke into a pandemonum of applause.
Hill came TO the front at once to decline,
and it was with great difficulty that he
finally got chance to say, "But | cannot,
l must not be the nominee of this conven-
ton" But he said it so effectively that it
carried and his name was Withdrawn.

AdIiSr E. Stevenson Nominated for vice.
President.

The chief work of the closing day Of the
Kansas city convention was the nomination
of Adlai Ewing Stevenson of Illinois as
Mr.. Bryan's running mate. His nomina
ton was unanimous. He was chosen be-
cause he seemed the best man to attract
the votes Of the "old line Democrats who
have no liking for Bryan or his domination
of the party.
While Mr.. Stevenso On was vice-president
during Mr.. Cleveland's second term, he is
be known 20 the country as the "heads-
man" Of Mr.. Cleveland's first term. This
soubriquet he gained in the Office of nrst
assistant postmaster general by the dill
gence and effectiveness with which he
chopped off the head OF every Republican
| office holder within his reach. He did
this without partisan malice or personal
motive. II simply was an expression Of
his idea Of what he had been put in that
| place for.
| In 1892 he was nominated for vice-presi-
! dent because he represented the soft
money" element of his party, while Mr..
| Cleveland was hard" Now he is again
nominated because he represents the sound
money idea as against the vagaries of Bry-
anism and Populism. Somebody has
changed meantime. And it is not Mr.,
! Stevenson.

shaw Claims shooting was Accidental.

At the trial of Frank Shaw in the Wind
sor county court Saturday Mr.. Davis,
counsel for the defence, claimed that re-
spondent left jail, but did not actually
break out, the breaking being done by his
father. Frank Shaw testified in his own
behalf He said he and his father we're
camping out at Stockbridge, when they
heard twig break and Sheriff Spafford APP
peared. The witness had his gun raised to
his hip, with his finger on the trigger.
Dustin Shaw also picked up his own gun.
Spafford said "Hullo, boys, aud the elder
Shaw made a similar response. Spafford
and Dustin Shaw both said Don't have
any shooting The witness heard a voice
say Drop that gun or I'll bore a hole
through you" but saw no one. An instant
later a bullet whizzed past his face. He
Jumped and his gun accidentally discharged
Spafford then fired and both Shaws started
on the run. The witness first learned at
Mddlebury that Hoffman was shot. In
