The Avalanche at Frank.

Seattle, Washington, April 30.-A
special from Frank, N. W. T., says:
The slide from Turtle Mountain
continued throughout yesterday and
last night at intervals, depositing
millions of tons of limestone on that
which had come down before, with
the result that the inhabitants, be-
coming panic stricken, have fed for
safety. But two residences in the
entire town were used last night and
those not by their owners, but by
persons less timid, who decided to
remain and take chances.
In response to an appeal from the
local board of trade, the Dominion
Government has sent VIM. Pearce to
act in its behalf. Mr.. Pearce conferred
with the citizens today and decided as
to the steps for clearing away the OBJ
struction from the river so as to avoid
a food, which would entail further
destruction of life and property, and
of which there is imminent danger.
Accompanying the Government agent,
the Government today sent force of
mounted police by special train to
protect the district, as thieves had
commenced to operate.

OF appeals in decision today unani-
mously sustains the special franchise

manner pack of playing cards was
thrown into one Of the monkey cages.
Shortly after the attention OF the
bangers-on was attracted by the mon

shutting the cards, after fashion,

alone, the cards were picked up, thrown
with flourish all IN heap, the chat
tering being incessant. Suddenly q
shrill scream was heard, followed oy
a succession of cries. A hairy hand
shot ont and resounding smack was
distinctly heard, as it connected with
an object across the cage. Then for
the space of half minute there was
a fierce free-for-all fight in monkey
land. The keepers hurried forward to
separate the infuriated little fellows.

AWAITING CLAIMANTS,
Two Boys in Custody, One of Them but
Four Years Old.

Two boys are at the house of detention
awaiting claimants. In one case, that of
colored boy, nine years old there is MOTH
Ing unusual. but the other case affords the
police surprise. The colored boy arrived
here last night from Blairsville, Pa, and
said he had been sent to visit his uncle,
Matthew Richardson. His uncle had failed
to meet him. In the other case a white
boy, apparently about four years old, was
picked up in Hillsdale last night by po-
liceman, and although he has been in
charge of the police all night no inquiry
has been made for him.
The little chap has red hair and blue
eyes. He is unable to tell his name or to
give the police any information that would
in any way assist them in finding his rela-
tives. The first seen of the boy was about
O'Clock yesterday, when he was having
a good time hanging on wagons. An hour
later he rode on the rear end of wagon
to Congress Heights, and then Policeman
Stewart took charge of him. The child was
taken to the house of detention about IL
o'clock last night when the Anacostia po-
lice became satisfied that they were not
going TO find his parents before morning.

The New York World this morning prints

He will be hanged this time, and the

This was the exclamation with which
Mrs. Barton, the only lawful wife OF Lord
Darlington. replied to World reporter who
gave her the information that her husband
is accused Of the murder of James McCann
Of St. Louis.
Mrs. Celestine Miller Barton recently sold
out her laundry in Fulton street. Brooklyn,
and settled in Sea Cliff. L. l., with her
twelve-year-old daughter Elaine. She had
not read the papers, but she was not bit
surprised. Because of a dream she had
