In nil almost live sipiarn miles of territory are burned over and $15,000,009 of property j destroyed. h estimated that tlio number of per sous inside homeless iu ilio two cities i; 12.000. The Government has given the ] drill hnll and the city the large exhibition i buildings to nc ommodate the sufferers. j All the institutions in the city which have j any accommodations at all have lent a ' hand l > aid the ilialrnaan.l Tlio tiro was at 11 r?t said to hnve originated from a <l??r<'<?tiv?? chimney, but not an hour after it hail valued a foothold oa tln> Ottawa side Humes appeared ia throe different pbicos in this ally t 'vo miles from tho riverside. Another suspicious circumstance wan Ilia outbreak of the lire at Oiliiiour's lumber mills, two miles down tic river, on the Hall side, and to windward of the main lire. This was undoubtedly the work of an Incendiary, as it is believed that other lire* in Ottawa, which during the day starte I in unexpected places, were also due to llrehiigo. Tim cmillugruliou I* one of the most extraordinary known in the history of Canada. The spot whoro the lira originated in about a quarter of a utile from the main street of llull, and, as a gnlo was blowing from tlie northwest right in the dlri etlon >d the lumber piles and mills oa both the j Hull and Ottawa shores of tho Ottawa ' River and Ciuttidiere Falls, it was hooii scon that tho lire was almost eertalr to be a largo one. From the flats in Ottawa proper the lire extended aeross the Richmond toad on to Koehestervllle. and as far as the experimental farm. Westerly the tiro took ia lluiitoiihurg and Meohanlesville, so that on the Ottawa side of the river there was a larger area covered by lire than on the Hull side. So tierce xv.m the conflugulion and so swllt its progress, that the small tire department, wltti Its pigmy streams, might as well have tried to smother a volcano. Ileloro 5 o'clock p. in. the lire crossed tho river, ato through the lumber plies on the j lunik- and exleued to that part of Ottawa ' known as the Chnudiero Hat and surrounding the Canadian I'.iciilc Railway station. Calls for aid wore (lashed to Montreal, Peterhoro and llrockville, and. although the re.-pense was prompt, tho Humes couid not lie stayed. Nothing hut the great eliiT which extends j from the Ottawa River to Roeliostervillo , saved t he clt v of ()i tawa from complete do- i -traction. The wind had boon blowing ' briskly from the north west, and had it coutinned In that direction there can ho no doubt ttint the capital of ttie Dominion ! would have been laid in ruins, lint there ame a sudden change, and the clilT.nct ing us u Imrrler, turned the flume*, ami only it part of tile cltv was destroyed. Dynamite was use to blow up buildings , In the path of the tlaines, hut this heroic ! measure was of little or no avail. So ?reat was the menace to the Capitol 1 Itself that Parliament went into consultation and took measures for protection. Buglers on bicycledscorolwd through the city streets sounding the assembly, and ! there was a quick mustering of every hat- | taliou of militia, lly r> o'clock the men ' were massed and under orders. They were ; armed ami provided with ball cartridge. As soon as darkness fell guards were plnctid In the Government buildings. The house* of Parliament were closed and surrounded by a guard.

I CONVICTION OF EMIGRANT AGT. The First Trial Under the Liccnso Law. Beunettsrille, Special.?Perhaps the first trial in our State of one Indicted for carrying on the business of an immigrant agent without having first obtained a license therefor was had in our court Thursday. Mr. J. W. Napier cf Georgia was the defendant and the jury after being out only a short while returned a verdict of guilty. The sentence of the court was that he pay a fine of S300 or he imnrisoned f?vr civ Tim question of the constitutionality of the act was raised by the attorneys for the defense and long and able arguments were made on both sides. Judge Klugh in his charge to the jury and in deciding this point dwelt at length on each section of the constitution said to be violated by the statute, and held that the act did not violate- either the State or Federal constitution, but was a proper exercise of the. police power of the State and that the su:n of $r?00 charged for sueli licen. e was not excessive. His charge was able .-.ml clearly expressed and altogether a strong vindication of the justness and constitutionality of this act of the ; legislature. It is likely the ease will be appealed to the supreme eo. rt.. Tries to Kill a Boy. Yorkville. Special.?At noon Thursday while all others were out of the olilco, 11. II.

CALL SENT OUT. Prohibition Conference Will Alcel in Columblu May e.jrd.

It reads as follows: A State phohibition conference will be held in the city <>f Columbia, S. ? n Wednesday. !?:!<! <t;?v of Mnv loan for the purpose of considering tho propriety of suggesting candidates for governor and lieutenant governor to represent the prohibitionists of South Carolina in tne Democratic primary, and also to announce the principles and put pesos of the prcihibitionists in seeking to obtain control through the Democratic organization of the executive and legislative departments of the State government, for the enactment and enforcement of measures which are in best accord with tho highest interests of the people, and which will tako the State out of the liquor business. For the purpose of obtaining a full and free expression of the prohibitionists in regard to these matters, a eall is hereby is-ued for them to assemble in their respective counties at the court house on Saturday, 12th day of May. 1H00, to elect three representatives. with alternates, to attend the State conference on the 2t!tl of May, with or without instructions and to choi.sc a county chairman f. r the ensuing year.

The fallowing address was also issued: To the Democrats of the State: The recrganizati.m of the Democratie clubs will mark the beginning of the active work < f the < indidates for office and llhe politicians will at ati early day declare themselves on the issues of the coming campaign. There is very little doubt but What the lhptor question and the dispensary will he tho < hief State issues. It will he tiie old light of 18'AS over again, with this difference tnnle.-s 1 have been mistaken to the imprr-slons that have been made upon me in visiting the different sections of the State) thai the lilies will be elosely drawn, and the candidates will 'have to take their choice of the home or the dispensary: this is the light, and the interest} of the two are as different as the day is different to the night. The Christian home is the hope and stay of the State; it is hallowed by every sacred tie and is the brightest and happiest spot on earth. The disnensnr.. ^ the great?-1 enemy of the home and the most dangerous place in every community, and is working daily and hourly to rol) the home of all of its attraction-. It matches from its influence the most promising of its sons and takes to a drunkard's home (In name only) the fairest and loveliest of its daughters, and this, too, with the authority and sanction of the State, because the politicians Who nc.w control the Democratic party say It must go on. Where do you stand in l'JOO? For iho home or for the dispensary? Are you a defender of the home or are you its enemy? I believe you will have the manhood to shake off the shackles of the dispensary ring and the whiskey i trust - nod stand up for the goo 1 name of y ur home and State. The candidate is to ha pitied who is a member of the church and pretends to claim that he regards "(lie dispensary law the best solution ef the whiskey ones tioa," because he thinks ho ran scomi ofiiee through the dispensary machine, thus piling 'himself. his homo and playing the hyp eiite in r?r;lor to do it. The I'ri hibitionista may <>r may not have vandidatos for all the offices t?> he voted for. hut if the Ghristian men ami women will do their duty from this day forward we will win a great victory this year. Draw the line closely and let every candidate understand that he must take one side of the oilier, and that no prohibition Demorrat will v. te for a man who takes the side of the dispensary. A. C.
