Nearly every building in the city isunder guard outside and in. So far no one has been arrestee, but if an incendiary is captured there is no doubt but that he will be lynched.

FRESH AND NEWSY. The other day a morose-looking couple were seen wandering aimlessly about the streets of Windsor, Ont. Later in the day their dead bodies were dis

f covered lying side by side in what (g known as the old nursery grounds. The j woman had been shot through the heart,

evidently by her companion, and an ugly wound in the man's forehead disclosed the cause of his death. Their appearance was that of country people in holiday attire, and it is probable they were visitors to the Detroit Exposition. From

! papers found upon the man his name is

j evidently Silas Densmore, of Rushville, f Ind., and the woman is presumably his

wife. AT Rossville, Can., Jacob Kuykendall,

a farmer, became suddenly insans, and

drove his father and mother from the house. His wife tried to quiet him, and he shot and fatally wounded her. He was Anally captured by squirting chloroform over him with a syringe. During the three months ending August 31 there were exported to England 90,000 head of cattle, 40,000,000 pounds of fresh beef, and 34,000,000 pounds of canned beef, A Quebec dispatch says: The Ship Laborers1. Society, numbering 700 persons, headed the funeral procession of the victims of the recent landslide. Following these were hearses containing tho bodies. Then came a vast concourse of most distinguished citizens, among whom were several members of the provincial parliament. At St. Patrick's Church, where the funeral service was held, the coffins wore d laced in a row at the foot of the chancel. The church was draped with mourning and illuminated magnificently. After the service the proceeded to Woodfield Cemetery. Twenty-one bodies were deposited in vaults prior to tinal burial, as many of them will be interred in family lots when the remainder of the bodies are extracted from the ruins, Sir Hector Langevin, tho Minister of Public Works, accompanied by General Cameron and Major Mayno, of the Royal School of Engineers, of Kingston, Ont., has visited the scene of the disaster. They found adjacent rocks suspended at the cliff's side looking rather dangerous. These engineers will, in company with the city engineer, hold a survey of the heights and report to the Minister of Public Works the condition and danger of the same; also they will suggest tho best means to prevent further disasters. About two hundred men are actively working at the debris, and it is expected that more corpses will shortly be found. A watekspotjt burst over the Mexican city of Cerro Gordo, drowning several persons and sweeping away horses and cattle. Commander Henry Glass has reported at the Annapolis Naval Academy to succeed Commander Harrington as commandant of naval cadets. Thk immigrants arriving in the United States for the eight months ended August 31 last (except from Canada and Mexico), numbered C0,5Gl, against 392,942 during the same period in 1888. R. G. Dun & Cob weekly review of the condition of trade says: Throughout the country the state of business fs encouraging, and the only disheartening feature are in connection with speculative operations. Speculation in brc-adstufFa and cotton has been at a slightly lmver range of prices, with but moderate transactions, and slackness of the consumptive demand causes a weaker tone in coffea and sugar markets, without material change in prices. The reports from other cities correspond fairly with tha clearings outside New York, whioh show an increase over last year of about 4 per cent, in the aggregate, but an increase at tVothirds of the cities. At Boston & conservative fettling still rules the money innrkot. At Philadelphia money is active, and tho jobbing dry goods trado continues good, the grocery trade improves, exceeding last year s ; trade in dry goods and other merchandise is quiet, after the exceptional activity of August. For the year thus far trade exceeds last year's. Milwaukee reports constantly improving business with active money. Kansas City reports business and collections a fair average for the Beacon, and Cleveland Increasing activity. At Omaha great crops give good business and collections, and at Pittsburgh farther improvemt nt is s-oenln be6S'mer iron and steel, in cc)a and in coal. Southern reports also are all encouraging as to crop prospect and piesjnt trade. These specimens illustrate the general te or of reporrs, and it may be added that there in nowhere any stringency in money, tho supi lv being ample for legitimate ueous. The g.rat industries appear to be gradually improving in condition. Partial failure of tie otaio and fruit crops and the injury to butter by recent storms, caup an advance in prices, and the general average for commodities is now about one per cent, higher than Kept, 1. The busines failures throughout the country during the week number for the United States 177, and for Canada 21, or a total of 198 failures, as compared with a total of 1U3 the week previous. J-or the corresponding week of last year the figures were 422s, representing 2X) failures in tho United btates and in the Dominion oi Canada.

A HORRIBLE COLLISION. UNDER A LANDSLIDE.

SUBURBAN PASSKXGKKS TKHRIBIVS JUANGLED AND tiCAlUDEJX

Five Killed Outright and a "Dozen Injured, Some FatuUy An -Eiiginodr's Running Ahead ofTimo the Cause of the Fatality Distressing fScones. Chicago tolegrana.j Through the wanton carelessnes of Engineer Seth Twombley live lives were sacrificed in a wreck on the Rock Island llaihvay, near Auburn Junction, a suburban station of Chicago. The passenger train Lad just passed the junction station and was stopped by a train crossing on an intersecting line, when Twombley's freight enrae rushing up from behind and sent its engine crashing into the pnssenger. Before it 6truck the passenger tram Twombley and his fireman jumped oil' and made their escape. All of the killed save ona were from Washington Heights. The following is a list of those instantly Kilkd:

Trac:y avenue, scalded and bruised about tho lu-atf and face; Anton Shubtr'. Wahin.rLon Heights, terribly scalded about head and arm:- and internally injured. Others injured are : Edward Smith, Jr., Daniel Lawrence, G. Klein, John TiernCy. Michael Hatf'trfy, Mr. Wheclor, and Dan O'Connor, of Washington Ht-ightu, Tho suburban passenger train which was wrecked loft the Hock island depot at Van Huron stroet at 5:30 o'clock, with Conductor C, S. Ellis in charge and Engineer Parker at the throttle. At C:19 o'clock the tran Lad passed Auburn Junction station and had discharged nearly all its passengers. The passenger train was made up of an engine and seven coaches. Just beyond Auburn Junction, at Eightyseventh street, the rear car is uncoupled to be Bent on to Washington Heights, while the forward cars continue on the branch south to Morgan Park and Blue Island. The train had stopped to let an incoming train from the Washington Heights branch pass and to uncouple the rear car when fre-ight train No. 91 crashed into the rear. The passe:ager in the forward cars were badly frightened, tut did not realize the extent of the accident for some time. They heard the crash and felt a 6light shock, but did not tnkv in the situation until the smoke and hissing steam attracted their attention. The greatest coufusion followed, and nearly every one rushed from the train. Tha locomotive had forced its way clear inside of the rear coach, and the hissing steam and the shrieks of the wounded and imprisoned passengers increased the horror. There were between twenty-five and thirty people on board the f ftted car, and that any of them escaped alive is a miracle. The passengers from the other cars at once lent a helping hand, and many were saved who but for timely assistance must have succumbed to the scalding steam and choking smoke from the engine. By some at present inexplicable reason, the freight was ten minutes ahead of time, and presumably to this is the sad accident alone due. The track is a straight one at this point, and Engineer Twombley must have seen the paBBenger :&head some time before ho struck it. He says that he reversed his engine immediately and whistled down brakes, but the velocity of the train proved too great to be halted in time to avoid the smash-up. According to some of the specthtors the freight was tanning at the rate of twenty miles an hour. It was a heavily loaded train, and from tho fact that the engine crashed almost its whole length into the car without seriously injuring the sides, it must have been running at a Mgh rate of speed. The bodies of the dead were in a horrible condition, and in some instances were literally cooked. Mis Kelly was so badly scalded that it was almost impossible to distinguish her features at all.

Scores of People Crushed in Their Homo by Tons of Rock from an Overhanging Cliff Recent Heavy Bah id tho CftUft c the Disaster Scenes of Woe. A Quebec dispatch says: Thnrsday evening people living in the neighborhood of the Citadel were start!! on hearing a low, rumbling sound, accompanied by a perceptible quiver of th earth. Houses were shaken, dishes rattled, and even in some cases people had difficulty in maintaining their footing. Every one rushed into the street and it wag learned that a large portion of Cape Diamond, just below the Citiclel, had becomedetatched, and, sliding down the declivity to Champlain street, bad buried several residences and their inmates under from fifteen to twenty-five feet of rocky dirt mad wreckage. At the foot of the cliff is a parrot street, which occupies all the .space bo tween the cape and the river, and tht was tilled with the debris which had crushed out tbe lives of at least twentyfive people. The exact number is not yet known, as the enormous mass of earth and stone has shown but little diminution! notwithstanding that a large force of men was at work clearing it away in less than a half an hour after the horrible disaster took place. It i believed, however, that not less than 25 have perished. About half a score of bodies have already beta taken out of the ruins, and a number f people terribly crushed, but still cUv, have a.lso been rescued. Champlain street, on which the terrible visitation fell, presents a scene of unmitigated sort ow and desolation. The heads of laroilies are rushing about frantically seeking their offspring, while children are quite distracted searching for their parents. The portion of the cliff overhanging this street which started from its place demolished about eight houses, occupii& by twenty or thirty families. The cause of the disaster is said to be the reoeni: heavy rains. The amount; o:' fallen rock ia immense, and completely blocks tbe road. The story givn by a survivor is that iw was standing in his door when the land, slide ocoured, and that as soon as he sarr the huge bowlders and masses of rook:

i bounding down the steep incline he rnshod

up the street only in time to escape being crushed to death. The houses struck wero all three or four stories high, and garo way before the avalanche like past: board. Some of them caught fire. This added to the terror and general confusion, and fM awhile it appeared that those who had escaped death by the weight of stone an timbers would be cremated. The timely arrival of the fire brigade soon dispelled this fear, and the way was clear for tlw' eager by-stand ers to begin their work arf rescuing those imbedded in the rums. Those who witnessed tbe fall of the rock: say they heard a long, loud noise, as of several cannon, and on looking up towaiL the terrace and citadel were horrified by , the sight of a large mass of stones, roc c, and earth breaking loose and rashizigr down the 300 feet of declivtty upon tin doomed houses below. Immediately th air was filled with dust, so that no onei could see ten feet in front of him ard; breathing was made difficult. This Wii followed by the sound of timbers crushing and yielding to the immense power of the avalanche, and the shouting and scream-1 ing of men, women, and children in all the agony of despair. Tho avalanche was caused by the ho weather of the past few weeks cracking the earth and rock, which were loosened and driven down by the heavy rain of tin last few days. The men of the water police, whose station is near the scene of tho accident, set to work at once to raasue tho im prisoned person?, while the general alarm was sounded, which called oat tlu fire brigade and police. The flames wjr soon extinguished, and the men from ilia battery began the work of extricating tho unfortunates from the ruins, assisted by

many of the citizens. A detachment of Battery D Canadian Artillery, under Maj or Wilson, soon; started at a double quick for. the scene of destruction. The water police and the men of the civic police force also worked bravely, every one present working bis life for his fellow creature in distress Tiro soldiers especially distinguished themselves by their braveay. After the first few bodies had been extracted the work proceeded more rapidly vill at last an almost continuous string o; dead, dying and wounded kept pourUijtj into tbe marine department, where almost ail the doctors of the city were assembled. The spacious rooms of this building wer soon filled with a crowd of sorrowing relatives. It is estimated that between twen ty and thirty persons are dead and over twenty wounded. Two men of the fir brigade were also injured, but not seriously. Some families have not yet been .to covered, and it is feared that their members have breathed their last The recovered dead are: Thomas FarrelL two Far rell children, two Burke children, an unknown child, Mrs. Berrigan, five unidentified bodies. Besides these it is believed almost to tt certainty that Richard Maybury, laborer, , and wife; Henry Black, grocer and proprietor of a large loundry, and his whole family; Maggie and Ellen Walsh, Mm.! Stevens, Mrs. Allan, Mrs. Henry, Bich&rij Kemp and family, and the Lawson family! can never be reachod alive. The rla- . tives, neighbors and workers are afraid t guess at the actual number of the dead.4 Among the injured so far recovered fife: Thomas Graves, leg broken; Stephen Burke, injured internally; W. Power, bcdlf crushed; Mrs. O'Neal, badly hnrt; F.t Fitzgerald, leg broken and badly hart otherwise; M. Keddy, injured internally) Nellie Deeby, leg broaen. ft will take hours to gt down to Use Black family and others, who are believed to be beyond all assistance.
