Toronto. Ontario Fire swept a sec

Tuesday night. causing a loss which
will reach S10,00000O. The FIRE had
not been placed under control until 2
O'Clock Wednesday morning.
The fire started in factory in Wei

than an hour the flames had spread
from building to building on both
sides of the street, until the whole
block was a mass of flames ami the
fire was utterly beyond control OF the
local department.
Appeals were sent TO every sur
rounding city where ERE apparatus
could be obtained, asking for assist
ance. Montreal, London, Hamilton
and Buffalo at once responded, but
1t was hours before they could be Of
any assistance.
1t was believed at II o'clock that
the fire was under control, but sud.

sparks and burning brands were car
ried down side streets until three
entire blocks were doomed.

GALVESTON DELUGED
BY CL0UDBURST
Heaviest Rainstorm in City's History
Floods Stores and Houses.

Galveston, Tex: Galveston exper-
fenced the heaviest rainstorm in it's
history Friday afternoon, when 9.29
inches fell within three hours, COM
mencing at p. M and continuing in
heavy downpour until p. m. In one
hour, from $3.50 to 4:3O p. M, nearly
Az inches of precipitation was re-
corded or, to be exact, 4.47 inches.
The storm, which extended generally
over the state, was not accompanied
by dangerous wind, and very little
damage was done excepting flooding
some of the stores and houses where
the grade is low.
In some portions of the city the
water was nearly six feet deep. In the
paved business districts it attained a
depth of from inches to 2 feet, &C
cording to the street grade. The i'm
mense sewers recently constructed
through the business districts became
clogged with trash and held the water
in the streets, but after the storm
they were opened and the business
section was drained in half an hour.
The next greatest rain recorded for
Galveston was 14:10 inches in twenty
four hours, on October z and 8, 1901
Reports received at the weather bu-
reau office Friday night show exces-
sive rains throughout the entire state,
especially in the drought stricken por-
tons of west Texas, which will be
beneficial to crops.

st. Petersburg: The Car has re-
ceived the following telegram from
viceroy Alexieff, bearing Fridays date:
Il respectfully report to your ma
iesty that to-day, during the placing
of mines by some steam launches,
Lieutenant Pell and twenty men
were killed through mine explod-
ing prematurely under stern of one
Of the launches"
The War Commission suppressed part
of the Viceroy's dispatch, which showed
where the mines we're laying. 1t is be-
lieved that. as launches were employed,
they were mining the entrance to the
harbor In order to prevent the jap
anese from forcing an entrance and
attempting to destroy the remaining
ships.
1t is evident from the closing of the
entrance that Viceroy Alexieff has no
intention of letting his ships DO to
sea again even against an inferior
force, though this may not be the
policy of Vice Admiral Skrydloff, who
will determine on plan of action
when he assumes command.
Another telegram says:
"a series Of "Reminiscences carried
out on the Yalu river has shown that
the japanese are concentrating in con-
siderable force. 1t is believed that
they have about one division in the
north Of Win. They are also begin
ming to concentrate troops in Win, for

PETER NIEDERMEIER
DIED AN ATHEIST
Leader of Car-Barn Bandits Dies on
the Scaffold.

Chicago: Atheist to the last, but
seemingly unnerved completely, Peter
Niedermeier leader of the car-barn
bandits, was hanged Friday from a
chair, contrasting with his companions
in crime, Gustav Marx and Harvey Van
Dine, who, standing erect, kissed the
image of Christ and died without a
tremor The three executions were
separate, twenty minutes apart, the
same scafrold being used for all.
The crime for which the three ban
dts paid the penalty was one of eight
murders which the three men are
known TO have committed, that of
Francis W. Stewart, a clerk in the
car barn of the Chicago City Rail-
way.
Niedermeier had boosted contfnu-
ally of his courage, but as the last
moments approached he collapsed. and
was unable to take three consecutive
steps of a march to the gallows.
Doctor F. w. Mcnamara, Jail ply
stefan, had visited Niedermeier prev
lously. and said that his physical con-
dition was satisfactory. The bandit
leader himself told Chief Deputy sher-
i'll Peters, who appeared with the death
warrant, that the last walk would be
without aid. Deputy Peters then read
the document, and Nielermeier started
from his cell He had gone only two
steps, when he sank, and it was found
necessary to lift him to the scaffold.
Immediately Niedermeier's feet were
strapped together. He was handcuffed,
placed on a hospital truck and wheeled
to the end of the tier of cells. Then
three deputies carried him down q
fight Of stairs Entirely contrary to
general expectation, Niedermeier made
no effort at resistance. Saying nothing
and almost in daze. he was seated
on a chair placed over the trap of the
galloWs.

BIG DAMAGE TO APPLE CROP
Illinois Fruit Men Say Three-Fourths
Have Been Killed.

Richview, ILL.,: Prominent fruit grow
erD have investigated their fruit trees
and report that the snowstorm dam
aged the coming crop badly. 1t is
estimated that as per cent of the ap-
pies are killed. However, an exact
figure cannot be made until further
developments.
The peaches are all killed. It is
reported that some varieties of apples
are not damaged as badly as others,
due from the fact that they are not
so far advanced.
The severe cold weather has not
harmed the strawberries in this sec
ton. Garden truck in the extreme
southern part of Illinois has suffered
a loss.
This section is considered the fruit
belt of Illinois, and the loss of apples
means thousands of dollars.

HEAVY SNOW COVERS
SEVERAL STATES
st. Louis Record Broken By Fall of
Five and one-Half Inches.

The storm OF Wednesday extended
to almost every county in Missouri
and Illinois aud was general through
out the eastern part of the country.
In all places there was an unprece-
dented fall of snow, in many instan-
ees breaking all records for the lat
ter part OF April.
IN Charlotte, N. c. the snow fell
to such an extent that all street cars
had to stop running and trains on
many railroads in the State were put
out OF commission.
In Maryland smaller streams were
frozen up tightly, vegetables were
severely injured and the temperature
was the lowest for the correspond
ing time in any Of the last ten years.
Throughout southern Indiana trains
were delayed AMI inWestern and Cen
trail Kentucky the snowfall was un-
precedented.
a furious blizzard ragged in New
York. Vermont was covered under a
heavy blanket and the temperature
was below zero. Throughout the east
ern part Of Nebraska there was a
heavy rain, and the indications were
that the precipitation would extend to
the western part Of the State, which
is suffering from lack of moisture.
In Missouri, while reports from many
towns indicate damage to fruit trees
in bloom, to newly planted gardens
and to tender corn shoots, the oDin-
ion of the Secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture is that the dam
age will not be material unless there
is further fall in the temperature.
The snow, which remained on the
ground during the day, will be Of
benefit to wheat, affording 1t both
protection and moisture, which in
some sections Of the State are needed.
The unusual weather conditions will
universally retard farming operations,
as the ground will not be in condition
to be worked for several days.
A meteorological collision in mi l.
air, which CHANGED to occur between
the two rapidly moving air currents
midway between the lakes and the
Gulf, was the cause of the unprece-
dented snowstorm over st. Louis and
a comparatively small area, embrace
ing sections of Missouri, Illinois and
Indiana, Wednesday.
The wave of warm weather started
from New Orleans. while the current
of colder air took its departure from
Duluth. Meeting in st. Louis that city
received a precipitation of snow
which has not been known at this
season since the establishment of the
Weather Station. Twenty years ago
