With the millsNind lumber piles aflame both cities seemed doomed, and the visiting fire departments, which ar- rived early from Prescott, Brockville and Montreal, were helpless in the face of the great conflagration. About five square miles of territory were burned over, cov- ering practically all of the city of Hull/ which was -mtmbited by about 12,000 people, a»d a considerable part of Ottawa, incurring losses estimated at twenty mil- lion dollars and rendering homeless from twelve to fifteen thousand souls. This is therefore the greatest fire known la the past ten years in this or any other country, and, for the size of^the cities, sanapariiia Hundreds of thousands of schoolgirls have taken it during the past 50 years; Many of these girls sow have homes of their own.

Almost every baseness place and about a thousand dwellings and shops in Hall west up in smoke, leaving prac- tically nothing bat a chnrch and a few houses beyond it. In Ottawa, besides many mills, factories and\ business places, some 1,500 residences were destroyed. The flre started at 11 A. M, and burned till five o'clock the next morning. Only the great cliff whjch extends from the Ottawa river to Rochesterviile impeded ite course and saved the entire capital from rain. As it was, the whole of that part of Ottawa known as the Chaudiere Flats, sorrouodine the Canadian Pacific railway depot, was fire swept. The Hull Lumber Go's works. Brens«n & Weston's mills, J. R. BoStb mills and part of the Export Lumber Co'e mills were included in the disaster. The loss of the Export Co., aione is estimated at more than a million dollars. Further details of^fche fire have con- tinued to come in and show that 4-he first estimate of the total damage done was not far out o£ the way, the loss aggregat- ing from $15,000,000 to $17,000,000. The whoie number of buildings destroyed reaches the astonishing total of 2,500 The 'estimated insurance is$12,000,000 and is carried by Dearly all the British and American companies. Seven Jives were lost directly and indirectly from the fir^ bat only one person was burned alive \d two suffocated. The rest died from this is* Amer- ican market, the drop which had begun in the general markets^ will probably be followed by a rise. , A relief committee has been formed, and, together with the Catholic arebpfchops of Ottawa and Mon- necessities and mast necessarily be out of work for some time. All of Hull's prin- cipal buildings, except the Catholic cburchj went up in smoke. The numher of people in Hall who met with dis- aster is estimated at over 7,000, and in Ottawa at 5,000. The destroyed property in Ottawa included some of the finest residences in the city as well as some of tb,e principal business establishments. Camped out together under the open sky, with all the belengings of their homes that could be rescued from the flames, were found the poorest of the poor and people in high position and society. The belt of flame on the eventful day stretch- ed at least four miles in length and was half a mile wide. .Business has since OF LOCAL INTEREST. j ~Tbe Young People's Society of Christian \ ;ndeavor of Westville Center will give a i social at Rhoades Hall on Friday evening, May 4th.

The St. Regis Paper Co., are making excavations for the foundatioa of a refuse' burner to get rid of the shavings from the pulp wood mill at St. Regis Falls. This has received a severe set-back. The con- flagration was the greatest in the history of the Dominion. The blaze' is thought to have started from a defective flue in a house in Hall after the lighting of a brisk fitfe t® pre- pare a dinner, but the fact that there were other outbreaks in several places two hours after the flre started, which seem not to have resulted from flying em- bers, leads to the rather strange assump- tion that it was the work ®f Boer sympa- thizers.

A fortnight or so ago the snow in the woods was still fully 4 feet deep and deer were reported to be dying for lack of food. A story from old Forge claimed thai farmers were feeding them like cattle and that they were as tame as cows. It was eaid that the men went through the woods cutting down trees and carrying in hay to them. Sixty deer were being fed near ^tfd Forge and in some Instance* they were \staying in barns witB the cows. This is according to one Galvin, whose ca pacity tor telling a good story beats that of any fisherman.

It is a very interesting volume, finely illustrated, and should find a ready tie. Chateangay haa been investigating the question of gasoline street lamps and the company, who have heretofore been oblig- ed to haul their refuse away with teams at no little expense. Permission has been given by the State forest fish and game commission to fish with sienes at the mouth of the Oswe- gatcbie river for suckers and mullets, un- der the supervision of E. A. Hazen, game protector. Tbis is a matter of much im- portance to many of the people of Ogdeus- burg^ so much so that Mayor George Halt lias announced it io a proclamation trough the newspapers. Lincoln J. Carter's \Just Before Dawn\ is billed for Friday, Mar. • ll/at Malone Opera House. The piece unfolde highly interesting story full of real life and action. As typical of Mr, Carter's former productions, the effects and cli- maxes are of a most thrilling irature. The piece is handsomely mounted and presented by a company of unusual merit, and includes many familiar names. Mrs. Stella Fitzgerald, one of tbe in- mates in tbe Lake View House near Piattsburgh Barracks, which was riddied with bullets the other night, has since made two attempts at suicide, one by drowning, having waded into the lake, and asother by. attempting to throw her- self in front of a work train ou tbe Dela- ware & Hudson railroad. She left the house hastily when Corporal Matthew* fired Into it and had been subpoenaed to testify at tbe inquest. She has since been sentenced to three years at the Hudson House of Refuge for women. Fred Silver, au employe at Ryther & Pringle's foundry, Carthage, was seri ously injured in a peculiar manner about a week ago. The iron from the cupola had all been rtm off. Tbe refuse had been run into trenches in the sand. Sil- ver picked up one of these pieces with a pair of touge and threw it into a vat of water, that the water might be heated to wash in. The iron being cooled only on the outside, exploded with great force, wrecking the vat and throwing pieces of hot iron in all directions. A number of pieces struck Silver's legs, cutting two arteries. He has been laid up for several days. All of the steamers of the Rutland Transit line are being painted white this year, instead of black, as heretofore. Tbe O. & L. C. R. R., proposes to establish a ferry between Ogdensburg and Prescott and has applied for a license, because tbe railroad has been discriminated against by the C. P. Car & Passenger Transfer Co. According to the Ogdensburg Advance tbe Rutland management has encounter- ed a snag in its efforts to establish a through lake and mill line from New York to the West via Ogdensbarg. The Fitch- burg railroad, which has been relied upon as a connecting link,is now under lease to the Boston and Maine Railway Company. Steps have been taken to fight the ratifi- cation of this lease in the Massachusetts legislature. Incase of failure it will be necessary to build a new line from some point en the Rutland to Boston or aban- don the idea of a through line to Nr York. . s ' M. E. McClary was in Albany last week representing a party owniog proper- ty in township 23 in the Adiroodacks, which the forest, fish and game aim mis- sion is trying to recover on the ground that the tax sales of the property were irregularly cancelled. The proofedingj^ a special statutory one, and, in orderto have aay voice in the matter whatever, several of the parties petitioned the court to be brought in as defendants. The Al- bany Journal says about the ease; \In 1892 Comptroller Campbell held the titles to the land Included in township 23, by reason'of several tax sales. During that year Smith M. Weed and Martin V. B. Turner had the tax sales cancelled and secured the titles to the land. Weed and Turner then sold the lots to a large' num- ber of New Yorkers, who formed an Adi- rondack colony. Among the purchasers were JulesS. Bacne.the N«w York broker; Sarah M. Scudder, L. Emmet Holt,CoMs- tian H. Herter aadl. H. Sellgmaa* When the State decided t* make a State park of the lands in that section the fish and game commission and forest preserve board appeared before Comptroller Rob- erts, who was rthen In office, to petition him to set aside the cancellation of tax sales by his predecessor. Tbe comptroller decided against the commission and board, holding that the cancellation had been legal %x& the effort to reclaim the lands by the State after tEeir improve- ment by the occupants was illegal and void;\ It ie this determination of the comptroller that the State commissions now wish to review.

Uncle Tom's Cabin, and its powerful effect on the sen tlment of the country, will probably come in for the consideration which it deserves, and all will want to listen to a eolored lady's impressions of tbe work. Miss Baldwin is one of two women ever invited to speak before Cooper Union, New York City.
