Precautions Taken.

Orders were issued today for all Dor
der outposts to build entrenchments
about their camps to guard against
surprise attacks by Mexican bandits.
The smaller detachments will. be
greatly reinforced, owing to the fact
that in the last few clashes between
soldiers and outlaws. the former have
been greatly outnumbered and have
faced humiliation.

THE FIRST TWENTY BODIES.

burned and crushed bodies had been
taken from the ST. Johns parochial
school here at 1880 today and fire
men predicted that this will be more
than doubled when all the panic strick-
en- children were released from the
smoke-fIIed Railways.
More than 500 children were at their
classes when an explosion occurred,
probably in the basement. An alarm
Of fire was sounded, but the flames
spread with great rapidity and those
on the top floor were met by pillows
Of smoke az they attempted to escape
down the stairs. Those on the lower
floors Of the three story brick build
ing were thrown into panic and rush
ed about beyond control OF their teach
ere. Most Of those on the lower floors
escaped, but many Of them were
trampIed and some were overcome BY
smoke.

pIosion in the basement Of the St.

When firemen were finally able 90

bodies just inside SO damned against

A MASS oE FLAMES.

When the fire department arrived,
the entire building was mass Of
flames.
So rapidly did the flames spread,
many of tho children sought to escape
through windows. Many were killed
or seriously injured by jumping, It Is
reported.
Men and women from nearby houses
rushed to the scene and held coats
and blankets into which the children
Ieaped. The heaviest loss was at the
main door, where the hall and stair
way leading from the upper floors be-
came choked with frantic children.
Many were overcome by smoke ana
ttrampied under foot. The firemen
were unable to push their way through
the crush and were forced to fight the
fire from ladders. Sisters of the
school declared many Of the children
on the upper story had been unable to
escape and undoubtedly had lost
their lives. II was thought that the
loss Of life might reach fifty.

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL KINDS BOXING

tonight in a battle between Willie
Richie and Johnny Dundee. 1t is the
first effort of the former lightweight
champion for some time, but he has
trained so faithfully that the wise
ones have made him the favorite.
i This is the face of the fact that In a
former battle Dundee had the advan-
/ tage.
Richie will have an advantage in
weight. Dundee is heavy feather
/ and every time he battles a light
weight he gives away poundage. He
is in the same position Charlie
White was a year ago. Dundee has
speed and a good wanop with which
to Offset these disadvantages, and is
as game as they come.
>. Though Richie will go into the
ring weighing 1873 pounds, he de-
clares he can make the Welsh limit
of 1876, and if he is successful against
Dundee he will camp on the trail Of
the champion Briton.
No decision will be rendered. Dun
dee's manager asked the commission
to allow the referee to render YER
dict, but was turned down. The at
titude of the commission, however,
indicated that in time decisions might
be allowed in ten-round bouts.
Bunny Brief, former Sox first base
man, led the Pacific Coast league in

ing "a cushions.
The report of the directors shows
the Kansas City Feds lost $35,332.13
on the season just closed. Stockhold-
ers are warned that if the team is to
be continued it must be refinanced at
once. The loss is not unusually
heavy, but indicates what the other
clubs of the league did financially.

scouts who watched the Badgers last
Saturday against Ohio State reported
to Stagg, and the coach was not en-
couraged over the outlook. The line
men will be worked diligently. Wis
consin's forwards Saturday charged
with speed and strength, and the OPP
position to them must be stronger
than that set against Purdue.
One change in the backfieId may
be- made, but Stage is keeping his
plans to himself. Russel's toe is
counted on for great assistance, but
he needs stronger line to hold back
the enemy, so he can have more time
to get the ball away.
Wisconsin may follow the lead of
the New York boxing commission,
and decide that fighters must bear

appear under some peculiar mona
kers, considering the nationality they
have claimed.

COUNTY COURT.

The time last week was used in try
ing the case of Fred Esty VS.. the
town of Brighton. 1t seems that Esty
with others were driving to Island
Pond in an auto on Oct 3 last, and
near culvert in someway not quite
clear the automobile was returned and
the occupants injured, Esty suffering
the most. Esty claimed that the
cluvert was not wide enough to admit
the meeting of a team at this place
and also the construction at the outer
end not firm. and therefore the town
responsible for his injuries The jury
returned a verdict i'll favor of the
defendants. The case of the Parker &
Young company VS.. Harold Jenness set
for trial this week, was settled out of
court. Two trials constitutes the
work with the jury this term. Several
court cases will be tried this week.
The present outlook is that all work
will be closed before Saturday.

text found in Daniel 5-23. 1.-The God
in whose hand thy breath is and whose
are all thy ways, hast thou not glori-
fled" ga man without an aim is
we'll nigh useless. The one great aim
of our life should be to glorify God.
We are careful how we invest our
money, but we don't figure very closely
how we should spend our lives. God
says to US. "The wages of sin is
death. "Your life will be an absolute
failure if not spent for the glory of
God"
The subject for the evening sermon
was. "The Great Remuneration. Text
found in IL Cor 8-9 "For ye know the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that.
though he was rich, yet for your sakes
he became poor, that ye, through
his poverty might be made rich" We
were shown that true riches are not

remembered as former teacher in the

to Miss Harris's home where they were
entertained in various delightful ways
with the help of Miss Eldridge and an
intimate friend of the hostess. A
delicious genuine spread" was served,
consisting Of salmon wiggle and olives.

luscious filled oranges. The evening
passed so quickly that it was time to
make a dash for the midnight train
before anyone could believe it possible.
The ride home was especially enjoyable
for the other occupants Of the car.

her brothers, of course-for the jolly
good time they spent there.

A ,other Light on Town Farm Situation.

a lOtheT Light on IoWn Farm oItuation.
Mr.. Editor:
As voter in the town of Barton |
an interested in the question of the
purchase of another town farm, which
will come up in special town meeting
iomOrrow. | have gone over the
figures as shown in the overseer's
report of the past two years, one year
when we owned farm and one when
we did not. The last year we owned
farm the report shows that the ex-
pense at the farm was S4484. 81, and
that help outside of the farm amounted
to S1510,79. This makes a total ex-
pense of $5995. 81 and we had an inven-
tory of property valued at over $4,000.
The interest on this investment is
about $3.50, which makes the total
expense $6475.61. The receipts of the
overseer for that year were S25l9 IL,
which makes a net expense to the town
of 1886 80.
The expense of the overseer for the
past year as shown by the report was
$46t2. 43. which ! have classified as
follows: Paid for provisions and prop
erty at the farm, $511 /; paid for poor
which amount is due from other towns,
$406; paid for doctors bills and other
expenses of sick and other expenses
which a farm could not have made less,
about $3l26: expenses which might
have been furnished at farm at much
less cost, about S629.
We owned town farm for over 80
years and the proposition has always
been losing one. Ne voted to sell
the farm last year by an overwhelming
majority Now with only one years
trial without a farm do we want to
hire from eight to twelve thousand
dollars at five Or six per cent interest,
to put into another farm, when the
interest alone on this investment would
cost the town more than the S629 men,
toned above, which might have been
lessened by having farm this year.
These are plain figures, don't believe
them unless you want to. Take your
town report and figure it for yourself,
you will come practically to the same
! end.
Respectfully yours!
A Voter.

AN EVENINGS OUTING AT OR
LEANS.

Thursday evening the senior cooking
class spent an exceedingly pleasant
time at the home of Miss Hazel Harris
in Orleans. The girls went down on
the six O'Clock train but visit ed one of
their former classmates for a short
time. But at eight O'Clock they all
started for Miss Harris's home. How
she seemed to know of their approach
was more than they could underst and
why, they only announced the ap-
poach by a few B., A. songs and yels
Yet the hostess very politely. but
firmly informed the girls, much to
their surprise, that they could not
stay. But it certainly was pleasant
surprise, for an enjoyable half-hour
was passed in listening to some splen-
did records on the victrola at the home
