Morning.
Fire broke, out in the old building
known as tile Beecher house on the
corner of Main and Maple streets, at
about 3:30 o'clock this morning. The

In an alarm from the box at the town
". hall, but even then the alarm did not
: sound right, so he had the (Hove shop
whistle blown. When the firemen ar
rived at the hotel they found the
south side all in flames and after a
hard struggle of about one hour and
a half they sot it under control. The
fire is supposed to have started in the
email room which is used as a kitchen
but the writer could lind no one who
knew just how or where it started.
The south side of the hotel is pretty
well burned up and the part, in the
back which was used as a kitchen is
nil gutted. The hotel is the property
of a Mrs Terry of New Haven, but it
Is rented by Charles Connors. The
loss to the property will be large, con
sidering the damage by fire and wa
ter, but it is thought that the loss is
fully covered by insurance. There was
something the matter with the alarm
lwxes last night. When Officer Ma
lone started to ring in the alarm at the
box at the Phoenix shop tower there
was no alarm sounded although he
pulled the lever. He then went to the
box in front of the town hall, but in
stead of giving four blasts, as is usual,
onlv three were sounded, "showing that
the' system vras out of order some
where. , ,
There were about thirty guests sleep
ing at the hotel at the time the fire
started, but all escaped safely. J. lie
loss is estimated at about $3,000.

' Now that the Oakville people have
the trolley running into their little vil
lage, Watertown thinks the line should
be extended, here. The traffic on the
Oakville line is increasing rapidly,
while the number of passengers on the
train from there down is decreasing.
The question is if the trolley comes
here whether or not, it will run
through the town or stop near the
brick store is the one the people wish
to know about at present. What we
want is the trolley through the princi
ple streets, so as to save the mile
walk which we have now to get to the
railroad station.

A DEADLY EXPLOSION.
Five Killed and Thirteen Injured in
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 4. Four men and
one boy were instantly killed and 13 pin -sons
injured by the explosion of a boiler
in the power house of the Chicago and
Xorthwestern road last evening. Several
of the injured are hurt so badly that they
may die.
The power house was a two story
structure which stood west of the pas
senger station and north of the tracks
leading info it. On the first floor was the
boiler room, containing a battery of four
boilers, and the dynamo room, which
held nine dynamos. Twelve men were
employed around the building,- and iu ad
dition to such of these as were present
at the time a number of strangers were
standing around watching the dynamos.
Four of those killed were people nqt em
ployed by the road, and all four bodies
were taken to the morgue unideutiSed.
It is not known what caused the explo
sion, as everything in the boiler room
seemed iu excellent condition, according
to the uninjured men who worked in the
place. At a few minutes past 5 o'clock
one of the boilers in the center of the
row of four burst with a detonation that
was plainly heard at points a mile dis
tant. The end of the boiler nearest the
tracks was the weak part of the struc
ture, and it flew toward the depot tracks
and landed fully 70 feet away from its
starting point. The boiler itself, which
weighed ten tons, lies 00 feet from the
boiler house..
. Just as the explosion occurred -the Ash
land limited train was pulling out of tha
station. The greater part of the train
had passed, and, though the cars were
all heavily battered with falling brick
and debris, none of them was badly dam
aged, and the passengers within them es
caped unhurt. . "
The last two cars, a Pullman sleeper
and a drawing room- car, were not so for
tunate, and the boiler head and the' boiler
itself caught them.,. The boiler struck the
car in -the rear, while the boiler' head
plowed through ,.the one immediately in
front. Fortunately both flew high and
struck the cars above the windows, car
rying away poious of tle roof, and ves
tibule. . But few :of the, passengea-s hap
pened, at the time to.be in, the , end xf
the two cars hit by .the flying metal, and
such of them ts were hurt: were struck
by flying splinters or suffered from being
thrown. violently to the floor.-. " - i-
The property loss to the road will not
be far from $100,000. The boiler house
was practically reduced : to a ruin, two
sides being blown completely out' and the
costly electric plant was nearly torn ti
piece. "" ' ..
Fearful VSlaugteri 1b bhiiB
J -ti4iis? In' Shansi Province.
TREACHEROUS'GOYERSORTHELEADEB
Bishops, Frlests and Knni, With Tin
Hundred Orphans, Put to Death
ly Chinese Horrible In
' dignities Suffered.
BERLIX, Dec. 4. A special dispatet
from China to the Cologne Volks Zeitunj
reports a fearful mission slaughter iu the
province of Shansi. Tie first victims,
the dispatch says, were a Catholic bishop
and his coadjutor and four Eiiropean
priests, Franciscans-, Italians and French.
The governor invited them -to his house,
pretending to give them better . protec
tion, but when they arrived their hands
were tied. Then the governor himselt
poniarded them all.
Then the governor went to the bishop's
residence with a number of soldiers and
seized six Marseilles sisters. He prom
ised them money and distinguished hus
bands if thoy renounced Christianity,
which thoy unanimously rejected.
Thereupon the governor poniarded them
and also a number nf Chinese priests, 30
Chinese si.sters and -00 orphans from o
to 10 years of age.
Fifteen seminarists ,who had hidden
themselves in a cistern were, the dis
patch adds, tied to stakes and forced to
drink the blood of the first victims. They
were then killed.
A Chinese priest and two Christians
who attempted to escape were cut to
pieces and put in a small hut, where they
were burned. '
All the foreign envoys have now heard
from their governments regarding the
joint note to the Chinese plenipotentia
ries, ar.il a meeting will be held tomor
row. The envoys are not communicative,
but enough is, known with reference to
the objections of different governments to
make it seem doubtful that the meeting
will have a satisfactory conclusion.
Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang both
say that they are anxiously awaiting the
demands of the powers. They declare
that China desires peace at any price
commensurate with the dignity of an in
dependent nation, but they point out that
so long as a large foreign army occupies
the province of Chi-li the problem will be
harder to solve.
The missionaries and others who went
through the siege protest bitterly against
any suggestion of leniency. They urge
particularly that those who are higli in
otiice and who were really responsible for
the outrages to foreigners should be exe
cuted, and they insist also that a suffi
cient force should be kept in China to
guarantee order and to keep foreigners
independent of the Chinese, declaring that
if this is not done a repetition of the
troubles is inevitable.
Expeditions Mnke Matters Worse.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 4. Kwan
Chang, an attache of the Chinese legation
here, in a formal interview said: "It is
futile for Field Marshal von Waldersee
to send into the interior expeditions, the
presence of which only irritates the na
tives and increases their animosity to
ward the Europeans. The emperor will
not return to Peking as long as foreign
troops, beyond the legation guards, are
there. Should it be necessary the em
peror will fly farther than Sian-fu."
Antiforelif n ' Outbreaks Imminent.
LOXDOX, Dec. 4. '"Placards are
again being posted." says the Tien-tsiu
correspondent of The Standard,-, wiring
Sunday, "announcing a renewal of the
antiforeign outbreaks as imminent." The
Shanghai correspondent of The Morning
Post says the Hankow viceroy told Vice
Admiral Seymour during the latter's re
cent visit that the court would never re
turn to Peking; but. as the correspondent
learns, the Nankin viceroy holds just the
contrary opinion.
Sale of Coal Lands.'
BALTIMORE, Dec. 4. It is under
stood that Yilson Lee Camden of Balti
more has negotiated the sale to former
Senator Henry G. Davis and Senator
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia of a
tract of 14,000 acres in Barbour an'' Up
shur counties, AVest Virginia. It is said
that the property contains extensive coal
deposits, and it is understood that the
purchasers will open the mines. The Bal
timore and Ohio railroad extends through
a portion of the field, but it is said to be
more than likely that the West Virginia
Central railroad will be extended from
Belington when operations ar.e begun.
The tract adjoins the property of the
Century Coal company.

NO DEWEY ARCH.
Committee -For n. Permanent Strue-
" tore, Disbands. . , ' .-.
NEW YORK- Dec 4. By a vote of 10
to 3 the executive committee of the citi
zens' committee foe perpetuating the na
val arch, or Dewey arch, as it was origi
nally called, decided to disband and to re
turn to the subscribers the money collect
ed for the project. , The abandonment of
the plan is due to the lack of interest dis
played by the public.
Before voting to disband the committee
considered and rejected three proposi
tions which had been submitted. One of
these was from the , Henry-Bonnard
Bronze company, which, made an offer to
build the entire arch.un its own responsi
bility under the supervision of the com
mittee. The funds necessary to carry on
the work would be collected by the firm
under a special contract with the com
mittee. As compensation the firm want
ed 10 per cent of the money collected
other than the amount which had been
raised by the committer.
It was estimated that to build the arch
of granite the idea of building of ine
hie and perpetuating the avenue columns'
having been long ago abandoned would
cost $300,000 without the -figure sculp
ture work. This hitter work would co t
about $150,000 additional. It was -
consensus of opinion that as the Commit
tee itself had not been able to raise the
money necessary to carry on the work a
private firm would not be able to do so.
One of the members of the general com
mittee suggested that miniature models
of the temporary arch be molded and sold
at $1 each, these models to be made from
the material of the arch itself. It was
argued that enough money could be rais
ed in this way to build the propDsed per
manent memorial. This was also frown
ed upon by the executive committee.
Vigorous opposition greeted a proposition
that the arch he built of terra colta in
stead of stone. This, it was said, could
have been -done with the" money already
collected. The committee then voted on
the proposition to disband, and this was
carried, it having been decided to return
dollar for dollar the uioce which had
been subscribed.
