tliu city of Ottawa, tlio portion of it including
tlio fatuous mi Ms which cut t lie
hulk of the lutnbor output of Eastern Ontario,
and gavo employment to live thousand
men. Is iu ashes. Just across tlie
river in tlio province of Queboo the eltv of
Hull, with it population of fifteen thousand,
is practically wiped out of existence. .
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.

upon the excitement and destru lion

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. Callaher, a printer, temporarily
cr tzv. tried to cut the throat
of Miller Drakcford. the 7-year old son
of the editor of The Yonnian.- The !
child was playing in the composing j
room. His mother heard a scream i
and ran to the door in time to see an i
uplifted knife over her hoy. She snatch
fed hitn from the man and ran into an
adjoining room, fastening the door.
The little hoy lias a gash on his neck
an inch long, barely missing the jugular
vein. Clallaher is in jail, and said i
if he had known they were going to 1
imprison him he would have cut off tho
child's head.
Fare at Weston's.
Weston. Special.- Mr. J. 1*. Gurick of
tlris place had the misfortune to loose |
liis burns and stables Thursday night
by Are. There were three barns, two
being very large two-story buildings
and one a large one-story building. All
were filled with corn, haled hay. peas,
peanuts, etc. Loss not under $2,000.
The Ore originated on tlie outside underneath
one corner of one of tho
liarns, and is supposed to be the work
of an incendiary. Had tlie wind shifted
every building on his place, including
the dwelling house, would liavo
been swept by the liames.
Attempted Assault.
Greenville, Special.?Jim Walker, a
negro. 40 years eld, was brought here
Wednesday from Piedmont, charged
with an attempt to ravish. He at*

old daughter of Tom MrColl, a wagoner.
The negro was brought here in a
buggy by a constable before the p?>?ple
of Piedmont knew it, and nut in
jail. There is some talk of lynching,
but no trouble is anticipated. The
sheriff is confident that no outbreak
will be made. Piedmont is 10 mile..away,
and excitement is cooling.

CALL SENT OUT.
Prohibition Conference Will Alcel
in Columblu May e.jrd.
A few days ago it was announced
that the prohibitionists had determined
to hold a Statu conference. l.asf
week the call was issued. 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

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.
