admiration for

Jefferson he might wish to see manifestations of his genius in another play. Our favorite author may give us a book which can never be equalled, but for all that we want to read all that he writes. The charm of Irving was in the transparent simplicity of his style and the pleasant humor which was so free from exaggeration. It was more than the glow of light from thiB picture than in the lines of drawing. Jefferson's Rip Van Winkle, though so much of an expansion of the original, seems to be the verisimilitude of the original happy-go-lucky wight Irving thought of, and the simply drawn character is so fully rounded, so distinct and real as to make Jefferson and Rip Van Winkle interchangeable terms. It does not matter much if it is Mr. Van Winkle, who retires to the Louisiana plantation, or Joe Jefferson, who lives on the stage—one seems as much of an entity as the other. Like many masterpieces in art and literature, the child and the adult equally enjoy the creation. As usual, the play and its incidents, the players and what they said were but the rather plain frame which is not much noticed when the principal feature of the picture is absorbing. Miss Emma Vaders gave a good characterization of the unfortunate wife, who has the double misfortunate to be wrongel wife and to lose the sympathy she is entitled to. It certainly looked cruel to drive Rip out into the sheet iron thunder and lycopodium lightning, but in this day of grace and Indiana, Gretchen would have a divorce, and with perfect justice.

THE TERRE HAUTE EXPRESS, FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 17, 1889.

One Hundred BilWIip Destroyed la Moraine Fire. QUEBESC, May 16.—A disastrous fire

broke oat early this morning in St. Sauvier, in the house of Mrs. MoCann, on Vatier street The flames spread with great rapidity through the wooden district which surrounded the place whenoe the fire originated. A number of houses on Vatier, Chenel, St Peter and St Mary's streets, were burned. The total losses so far and prospective may be we hundred and fifty thousand dollars. At 3 o'clock the fire waa still raging, and it was impossible to guess its limits. The people were dismayed at the rapidity with which the flames jumped from on* wooden building to another.

St. Sauvier had but a poor fire department, and it could mute no headway against the flames. Help was asked from this city, and Quebec engines were quickly sent, but owing to a lack of .water, their efforts were crippled. Battery was finally called out and rendered valuable assistance in fighting the flames. At 7 o'clock this morning the fire had about burned itaelf out, having deetroyed over a hundred buildings. While the military were preparing to blow up some houses to check the spread of the flames, a premature explosion took place in one of the houses, killing Major Short and Sergeant Wallick, of Battery B. Both were buried in the ruins, and at 9 o'clock their bodies had not been recovered.

The body of Sergeant Wallick has been recovered. It is horribly mangled. The fire has been checked on the city side, but is still burning furiously toward the northwest and will probably stop only when there is nothing left to feed it The insurance is comparatively small. The larger number of houses deetroyed were small, .wooden structures. There is a strong eastsrly wind blowing, and rain has been falling steadily for the last three hours.

About five hundred buildings, mostly wooden tenements, have been burned and over a thousand people rendered homeless. The greater portion of them are camped out on the fields with what few effects they were able to save, while a few have found shelter with friends in this city. Major Short's body was recovered about noon. One leg and one arm had been torn from the body by the explosion and were found at some distance from the trunk.

St. Sauvier is a separate municipality from Quebec, but is separated from this city by only the width of a street It has a population of about fifteen thousand. Only last night the St. Sauvier officials refused an offer of this city to supply them with water. 'he total loss is estimated at six hundred thousand dollars, with less than one hundred and thirty thousand dollars' insurance. It the wind had been from any other quarter, all St Roche's might have gone, as it was St Sauvier is badly swept up to its furthest end.

It was generally supposed that Sergeant Wallick died immediately after being taken from the ruins,but it has been since learned that lie is still alive in the Marine hospital. He is very seriously injured and is not likely to recover. It is expected that the remains of Major Short will be taken to Kingston to-mor-row for burial. There will be a military funeral.

The fire has burned itself out, after reaching the limits of St Sauvier, the toll gate keepers house in Valcir street being about the last to The district north and west of i&aasua and St Ambrose streets has been swept clean with the exception of a portion of Valier street.

About seven hundred houses were burned. As many of them were tenements. the number of families homeless is not less than one thousand two hundred, comprising five or

Bix

thousand

persons. The majority of the people burned out are of the laboring class and as insurance rates were very high, few have anything to fall back upon.
