One of the employes of the market put his hand onto a side of beef to steady it, and was knocked clear across the store, and another man who touched the tin leader on the outside of the building. landed over in the vicinity of Dywer’s harness store. The cause of all this was the deadly electric light wire, the insulation of which had been rubbed 011' where it entered the building on the east side, and when the market was roofed with tin some time ago. the tin had been left where the wire, if blown by a heavy wind, would touch it. ’Twas lucky that it was discovered while the market was open, for had it occurred while the place was closed, the build- mg would undoubtedly have caught fire, and possible the entire block been consumed.

Opium Smugglers Active. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26,—Bloom and Douglass, the two Australian refugees whose arrival at Honolulu on the Beagle created a stir, are known to have joined the opium smugglers’ ring. 'Discoveries so far show the existence of: an extensive organization headed by the notorious Tom thiley. A small squadron of vessels are engaged in the traffic. Many of the coast freight vessels which are not subject to customs inspection are in league with the smug‘ glers, transshipping the drug at sea and landing it with little risk of detection. The Beagle is the best vessel the smug- glers have, being too well armed to be captured except by a man-of-war. Mgr. Farley Succeeds Mgr. Preston. NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—Archbishop Corri- gan left here for St. Louis to be present at the golden jubilee of Archbishop Kenrick, and to attend the annual convention of bishops in St. Louis, at which Cardinal Gibbons will preside.

DIED A VICTI‘nfl 0 RED TAPE His Many Requests to Have the British Embassy Building Repaired \Vere Pigeon-hotted—“'orld “'icle Syn:- pathy for the Dead Poet. PARIS, Nov. 20.~——It has been practically decided that the remains of the lute Earl of Lytton (Owen Meredith), the British ambassador to France, who died suddenly at ‘lllS residence in this city, will be in- terred at Kncbworth, l-lertford, so soon as the necessary arrangements can be made. At the request dead poet—diplomat no flowers are to be placed upon his coffin, and in all other respects the funeral will be of the most simple description. There is no doubt, the friends of the dead man say, that the earl’s death was brought about, directly or indirectly, by the defective saui- , _ tary condition of ' ‘ the British em- bassy. Those well informed as to the facts state that Lord Lytton allowed himself to become the victim of red tape. g. The British em- bassy building in Paris has long been in a wretched . $312211}: 523:: LORD erron. plaints and requests for authority to have the necessary repairs made were pigeon- holed, as seems to be the universal rule in such cases, and the attack of typhoid fever which ended the minister’s life was the result. The British embassador had been com- plaining for some time past of not feeling well and he was confined to his bed. It was not thought, however, that his sick- ness was of a serious nature; he was writ- ing verses in bed. One of the servants who was putting the earl’s bedroom in order, suddenly heard his master breathe heavily and give a deep sigh, as the pencil in his hand dropped to the floor and the earl sank lifeless upon his pillow. Dead \Vheu His \Vife Reached Him. The Countess of Lytton, the wife of the wife of the deceased earl, was hastily sum- moned and reached the deathbed only to find that there was no doubt that her hus- band was dead. The pencil and the paper upon which the unfinished verses were jotted down, are to be treasured among the deceased’s most precious belongings, and will undoubtedly prove for many years, a sacred heirloom in the Lytton family. Several physicians were hastily sum- moned to the British embassy soon after the servant, who was in the ear-1’s room at the time of his death, had given the alarm, but all their efforts failed to restore him to consciousness. Heart failure, brought on by malarial and other troubles of a similar nature, are said to be the cause of the earl’s demise. From the moment the Earl of Lytton’s death became known there was a con tin ual stream of visitors calling at the British embassy. Sympathy from All. President Carnot sent one of the officers of his household with a letter of condolence to the widow, M. de Freycinet called in person, M. Ribot did the same and all the representatives of foreign countries in this city sent messages of sympathy with the family of the deceased diplomat, who was most popular in all circles. From the queen of England, the Prince of Wales, from Lord Salisbury, Mr. Glad- stone and many hundreds of other dis- tinguished people in England, from em- perors and kings, princes and princesses all over Europe, messages expressing grief at the death of the earl of Lytton were re- ceived at the embassy here. The dead earl having during the course of his long and brilliant diplomatic ca.— reer been attached, in some capacity, to nearly all the British legations in Europe, and as he won hosts of friends everywhere, some idea. can be formed of the multitude of telegrams pouring in upon the family of the deceased earl. Editor Patterson Indignant. POTTSVILLE, Pa, Nov. 26.—Burd S. Pat- terson, of The Miners’ Journal, has re- turned to this city from a week’s trip to Philadelphia, and his counsel states he will bring a number of libel suits because of the allegations made reflecting upon Mr. Patterson’s integrity, which, it is said, are distortions of the truth. Mr. Patter- son was born in Pottsville. His family is an old one, his grandfather having been one of the pioneers of the anthracite re- gion, and the name of Patterson is highly respected in the Schuylkill valley. Public sympathy is with Mr. Patterson, and the- stories of alleged crookedness circulated are not generally believed. A $250,000 Blaze. FREMONT, 0., Nov. 26.-—-The Thompson- Houston Carbon company plant, the big- gest of its kind in the United States, and the McLean Spike works were totally de- stroyed by fire. The loss is $250,000. Gen- eral Alger, of Detroit, owned the building in which the spike works were situated. A Dian Torn to’ Shreds. DUNDEE, N. Y., Nov. 26.—L. F.
