The dead are four Italians whose
bodies burned beyond recognition

stable. The fire was in the Despatch
stables. in the block between Christie
pher, Barrow, West and Washington

great battery of fire apparatus. includ-
ing two big fire boats, but 1t was on
ly after a hard fight that the firemen
saved the big adjoining tenements and
the Palace and Knickerbocker hotels.

COLONEL BLAKE WAS WELL
 KNOWN.

Boer War Leader Who Was Recently
 Asphyxiated in New York.
 Members of the Robert Emmett so- ciety as well as all students of Irish history, and particularly the war ele- ment, will be grieved to learn of the death of Colonel John F. Y. Blake, leader of the Irish brigade in the Boer war, which occurred in New York city last Saturday. Colonel Blake was known by reputation to nearly every Clan-na- Gael man in this country. He was a graduate of West Point in the class of 1881 and when he left the insti- tuition was credited with being the best horseman that ever served a term at the institution.
 After graduating he left for the west and participated in every important engagement against the Indians with General Miles and Crook. He resigned from the army and went to South Af- rica. There he became acquainted with Cecil Rhodes, but their friendship was broken by articles which he wrote for a London magazine.
 At the outbreak of the Boer war Col onel Blake and Major John Mcbride were chosen to lead the Irish brigade. Subsequently Major Mcbride left the Boer service, and with him went all the Irish brigade with the exception of fifteen men. Among the latter was James Tooher, of this city, carpen- ter, who left this country number of years ago and settled in the Boer coun- try
 The English placed a reward of five hundred pounds sterling on Colonel Blake's head, but he escaped capture. James Tooher was exiled from the country, and being an American, placed aboard ship and sent here. He returned to his former home in this city suffering with the South African fever and upon recovering went to Flori1a. He is now following his oecu- patton as a carpenter in White Plains, N. Y Colonel Blake returned to this country and for the past two years has been writing for periodicals and maga- zines. His writings have been closely followed by patriotic Irishmen in this city. He retired to his room, No. 275 West One Hundred and Twenty second street, New York, last Friday, and the day following was found asphyxiated There was no evidence of self-destruc- tion.-Bridgeport Telegram.

RAILROAD CONDUCTORS.

Big Gathering Yesterday at Which
 General Manager Higgins and Gener-
 al Superintendent Shepard were
 Present.
 The gathering of railroad conductors which took place at Odd Fellows hall yesterday afternoon was very largely attended by conductors and division superintendents of the eastern division of the road. Jeremiah Wall, the head of the local division of the conductors order, was in charge of the meeting. General Manager s. Higgins and Gen eral Superintendent Shepard were pres ent. At the close of the meeting Mir. Wall said that nothing had transpired or had been transacted at the session which would interest the public. He said it was an interchange of ideas be- tween the officers of the road and the men and it had no connection whatever with any proposition the conductors may have presented recently to the of ficials of the road.

THE -csARLE ANTELOPE.

Of the many beautiful antelopes which abound in central and south Af- rica two species, the larger koodoo ana the sable. must be awarded the first places. Of these the former is a veri- table King of the forest. The exquisite symmetry of the long curying horns their spiral twist, their noble spread and striking boise on a we'll shaped head, which seems almost too small to carry such glorious ornament, 80 to make picture which is matched by few other denizens of the forest. The sable makes a good second Long, massive ringed horns, forming in good specimen, nearly a perfect semi circle rise almost vertically and close together from narrow forehead. Bending backward in a bold swee they lose their rings near the tip and taper gracefully outward to end in shiny black points. Add to this powerful, elegant body, narrow shoulders and graceful limbs, q glossy black hide shot with russet gold brilliant white patch es below the eyes and an under body of the same color, short black mane, and the portrait is complete. Seen at close quarters in his native haunts he makes q picture few will forget His natural habitat becomes year by year more re- stricted, but with sensible game laws let us hope the day of his final extinc- tion is stillNfar distant. At one time plentiful in south Africa, his gradual extinction there has been brought about by the rinderpest, and still more by the wanton destruction of animal life characteristic of the Dutch and the early pioneers. At the present time, except in some parts of Mashonaland, the Kalahari and the Portuguese terri tory he exists only in herds north of the Zambesi where the Dutch arenot and where the south African of de- structive tendency has no inducements to go. Here again the distribution of the sable is peculiar. His first cousin, the ran swarms over Portuguese Zam- besi and northeastern Rhodesia; the sable, except in few localities, is com- paratively scarce; while in British Gen. tral Africa, the adjoining country sep arated from the others by no distinc- tive change in scenery or climate, it is exactly the contrary-the sable is com- mon, the roan scarce in comparison.
