the detachment of \u201cB\u201d Battery by the \u201cAlert\u201d to the assistance of the \u201cConstance.\u201d One of its scooped contemporaries attempted on Saturday to explain away and wriggle out of its unenviable position, and for the amusement of our readers we give the report of the incident that it published on Saturday morning \u201cIt appears that there was some truth in the report sent abroad last night that the detachment of 4B\u2019 Battery ordered out at midnight was meant for service against the smugglers down the Saif.It was said that the smugglers it! aspé were in open and armed defi ance to the law ami that the soldiers were to be sent down to fight them.This rumor was so wild that few would believe it.It transpired to-day, however, that there is a grain of truth in the report, for the men are gone on coastguard duty.They were put on board the Government steamer \u2018Alert\u2019 and are now on their way to the Gospe coast, not to fight smugglers, but to overawe the people and act generally as coastguards.\u201d Ear Ice-Cream and Soda Water, Vandry & Turcotte.36 John Street A Madman at Large.Lnprecedented customer (at office of gas company)\u2014There is an

a few minutes later, and found her lying prostrate on the floor in great agony.He at once summoned medical aid, but the poison had done its work.Mrs.Sutherland never regained consciousness after

was successful in discovering the whereabouts of his lost brother, but the discovery was a very sad one.The body of Charles Drake was found in the morgue iu Buffalo, with a bullet hole through the brain.No particulars of the affair have yet been received, but it is held that the deceased held strong religious views ami was an active worker in the Salvation Army, and it is thought he took his

Powder Works, neaP West Berkeley, this morning, destroying the works and much property for several milee around.Five shocks were felt in this city within a few minutes, the last four being of terrific force, shaking the buildings, cracking walls and breaking plate glass in buildings eight blocks up from the water front The scene of the explosion is twelve miles from this city.It is believed that 101 Chinamen and three white men were killed.The explosion set the adjoining buildings on fire and owing to the danger of additional explosions, no one is venturing near the works to stop the progress of the fiâmes.The fire is inclose proximity to a magazine conUining .300 tons of -owder and fear is expressed that it too may s destroyed.Later\u2014blames from the burning packing and mixing houses are driving back the crowds.A later report states that 28 white men are among the dead.Thia is not yet verified, however.July 10\u2014The powder explosion at West Berkeley yesterday proved to be not

egan to get out from the piers to the middle of the harbor.The A Qglo-AmericC.il Telegraph office became untenantable at 8.50 and communication with the outside ceased.The sea of tke which swept Water street rendered all attempts at saving property futile.A few hundred people who had the temerity to remain indoors, fled to the rear and escaped from the piers aboard boats and schooners that were waiting swinging to their lines readv to drop off out of danger.The air was filled with blazing embers, a terrific fire storm swept Water street (which was built of stone and brick), but these buildings fell almost as quickly as the wooden structures.The Atlantic Hotel and Custom House, more than half a mile from the stable on the head of Long\u2019s Hill, fell at 10 o\u2019clock.The Galway wharf immediately below the hotel, tobacco factory, Drookings\u2019 premises, the Terra Nova Foundry Works, Mock ay\u2019s stores wharf, John Woods premises, Harveys extensive establishment, consisting of bread factory.Costal Company\u2019as tores and wharves, were speedily things of the past.Signal Hill for a time caused a lull in the storm, but the residence of the American Consulate, situated well up the Hill, was doomed, also the large brewery and costly dwellings of Mr.John Lindberg, close by, were included in the slaughter.Having expended its fury to the eastward, when there was nothing more to destroy in that direction, the fire began to edge northward up the slope on which the town is built.Cochrane street, leading from Government House to the harbor, our handsome thoroughfare, fell a victim, a few dwellings only at tne top escaping.The Methodist Church on this street also escaped.St.Patrick\u2019s Hall, owing to the bravery of the Chris'ian Brothers, whose schools were situated therein, was for a long time considered Safe, but in vain.Their supreme efforts were made and successfully, to prevent the fire from creeping across to the Mercy Convent, which, if attacked, would have been the cause of the destruction of Markstown and of the fashionable quarters and built of pretty cottages and substantial dwellings.The Congregational Church in the neighborhood could not be saved.Anc tber gallant stand was successfully made at Rawling\u2019s Cross and head of King\u2019s road.The Poor Office, a large wooden erection, guarded the west of the range or military road, if this could be saved that fashionable boulevard was safe.The firemen by this time were pretty well exhausted, but by intelligent action on their part and scores of spirited young fellows manning the roof, they fought the fiery deluge victoriously.Tvo-tbirda of the business port of the town and one-half the entire town and three-fourths of the value of the town has been obliterated.The people, some 10,000, are sheltered in the Parliament House and under sheds and tents in Bannennan Park and other open places.To-day, Sunday, the town is enveloped in dense smoke from the surrounding wooded country, which seems to be all on fire.Kilbride Catholic Church, three miles out towards Bay of Bulls, was destroyed to-day.The wind continuas westerly and there is no appearance of rein that is so badly needed.The thermometer keeps in the high seventies.H.M.S.\u201cBlake\u201d is due here at daylight on Monday with tents, lumber end other necessaries.The great agony is over.\u201cA stout heart to a stiff breast\u201d is our watchword for the future.Halifax, N.S., July 9\u2014Upon learning last night of the terrible conflagration at St.John\u2019s, Nfld., leaving thousands of persons homeless, the Mayor called a meeting of citizens to take steps to provide relief.To-day a large number of citizens assembled at the Mayor\u2019s office.A committee was appointed and they immediately purchased$4,(KM worth of provisions and lumber and the steamer \u201cUlunda\u201d will leave for St.John\u2019s this evening with the same.The military and naval authorities also sent a lot of tent mid canvass.A public meeting will be held on Monday to establish more general relief.Governor Daly and Archbishop O\u2019Brien this morning telegraph to the Newfoundland Government a message of sympathy.It is very hard to get any particulars of the disaster, as the addresses of the people telegraphed to cannot be found.It is stated that two-thirds of the city is entirely destroyed, and it is reported that so far as is known six children and one man loet their lives in the fire.A despatch received states that the fire destroyed the Parliament Buildings.According to the latest accounts, 600 buildings have been destroyed.Much suffering exists among the people who are homeless and the M»y°r has appealed to other cities for relief.Ihe latest report, dated St.John\u2019s, 1 p.m., state* that the south side is now on fire ami a big fire is coming down the Fresh Water Valley.The south aide contains oil factories and oil stores.Another bulletin reads : The fire broke out back of the city at a place called Monkstown Road.This is the southern portion of the town that escaped last night.The relief steamer \u201cUlunda\u201d sails at 7 o\u2019clock to-night for St.John\u2019s with the fob lowing cargo : 275 barrels of flour, 106 barrels of corn meal, 20 chests of tea, 150 barrels of biscuits, 50 barrels of pork, 5 puncheons of molasses, 35,000 spruce boards and 150 tents and 4 marquees to shelter 1,200 people.H.M.S.\u201cBlake\u201d sails for St.John\u2019s tonight with relief.She is one of the fastest saileis of the day and will probably reach there in 24 hours, provided there is no fog.July 10\u2014-The terrible conflagration which broke out in St.John\u2019s, Nfld., on Friday, and continued all day Saturday, rendering 14,000 to 15,000 people homeless, many of them destitute of food and clothing as well, necessarily engaged public attention to the exclusion of all other ordinary topics and has stirred the heart's of the citizens of Halifax to the necessity of prompt and a large measure of relief.The prompt action that was taken by the citizens on Saturday morning, in despatching $14,000 worth of provisions and lumber by the steamer \u201cUlunda,\u201d and the equally prompt action of the Naval authorities in despatching H.M.S.\u201cBlake\u201d with tents and canvass to the scene of the disaster with additional relief, will meet the immediate pressing emergencies, but relief on a much larger scale will have to be forthcoming if great suffering is to be obviated.Halifax will do her full share and there can be no doubt that relief will -lie forthcoming from cities and towns all over Canada.The Citizens\u2019 Committee here are placing themselves in cor.mnuiioatiou with the municipal autborili».» throughout the Province, with the view to securing a substantial cargo of food, clothing and shelter ; malcrial'i to be shipped by steamer on Wednesday.Montreal, July y\u2014Montrai has a great Interest commercially and socially in St, leiveu, air.Aitinn saut it wouiit lie enorm-s.\u201cI judge,\u201d he said, \u201cfrom the ground it the fire is reported as covering, that out two-t birds of the city is in ashes.As John\u2019s, and the news of the disastrous fire there caused a commotion, especially amongst the members of the Newfoundland Colony in this city.One of these is Mr.Wm.Munu, of the firm of Stewart, Munn & Co., who belongs to St.John\u2019s and only came from there last week.Speaking of the loss from the advices ho received, Mr.Munn said it would )>e enormous, that about twn-t birds of the city to the damage, that will amount to several millions.\u201d Mr.Munn was busily engaged in communicating with other Newfoundlanders in the city, as to what steps would be best for the organization of a relief fund in Montreal for the sufferers and homeless people cf St.John\u2019s.Already it has been decided to send a boat within the next few days from either Montreal or Halifax with provisions and other necessaries.The citizens of Montreal will, as a whole, be asked to coiitribute to the relief fund.The British Elections.The Polling Very Close- POSITION STILL UNCHANGED.A POLITICAL DEADLOCK FEARED.e*- London, July 9\u2014Having practically hausted the borough contests, it will be no longer possible to follow the election results on the night of the day of polling.It is the almost invariable rule of the country divisions to postpone the connt until the following day.It is too early to make a complete survey of the borough results, because of several possible changes in the remaining 17 Welsh And Scotch boroughs still to vote, As the returns stand now, Mr.Gladstone has a net gain of 22 in them.Of these gains 12 come from London, 7 from WTestera England, 4 from Eastern England, 2 from Lancashire and 1 from Wales.These are ofltoet by the loss of 3 in Ireland and 1 in Kunt.As for Ireland, the faction split has given St.Stephen division ot Dublin and Londonderry to the Torirt, and the West Belfast district to the particularly offensive Unionist, Arnold Foster.The 4 Parnellit* seats cannot be called losses, because on all broadly drawn issnes between the parties, the handfnl of representatives of this faction in the new Parliament will be compelled to vote and act with the Liberals.The Dublin result is intelligible when studied in connection with the Parnellite failures in Galway, Limerick and Kilkenny on Thursday, and Cork and Newry on Wednesday.What is shown is that Parnellism, is, in Dublin, a local affair, just as Liberal-Unionism is now merely another name for Birmingham politics.In each case it is city vs.country.In each case too the majorities of the dissentients are tremendously swelled by the absorption of a large Tory minority.For example Timothy Harrington\u2019s majority of 3,106 in Dublin Harbor division, includes some 2,000 Tories who ran no candidate of their own, and Field\u2019s majority of 2,597 in St.Patrick\u2019s division, masks about 1,200 Tories who stood up to be counted in Î885, but plnmpod now for the faetionists.Still, this does not alter the demonstrated fact that Dublin is heavily Parnellite, and this has been all along conceded.What the other Irish borough elections and the country districts east of Wicklow have shown, is that except for a dwindling foothold in Waterford town, the Parnfellites are being beaten on grouhd ttf their own selection, ft fa noW considered doubtful if they can get another seat anywhere in Ireland.Of the country divisions in England thus far heard from, Mr.Gladstone gains four, oddly enough scattered in Cambridge,Wilts, Somerset and Lancashire.Still more curious is the fact that three of these gains are in divisions which wore Tory in 1885 by an aggregate majority of 2,0U0> while five divisions which were Liberal then, continue adverse.The Liberal candidate in Deptford, Lord Edmond Fitzmaurice, brother of the Marquis of Lansdowne, was defeated by Mr.C.J.Darling, Conservative, by 565 majority.Up to the close of yesterday\u2019s polling, the aggregate number of votes cast was : Unionist, 1,100,248 ( Home Rule, 1,093,616 ; Labor, 29,132.Further election returns have been received to-day, us follows : Leicestershire, Loughborough division : J.Fergusson, Liberal, 4,-715 ; E.D.Lovet, Conservative.3,992.Liberal majority, 723.In 1886 the Conservative majority was 135.Northamptonshire, South division : D.G.Guthrie, Liberal, 3,* 930 ; T.L.M.Cartwright, Conservative, 3,-882.Liberal majority, 48.In 1886 the Conservative majority was 322.Wiltshire, Devizes division:\u2014C.K.Hashous, Liberal, 3,8961 W.H.Long, Conservative, 3,758, Liberal majority 138.In 1886 the Conservative majority was 1,726.Durham, South East division : Alderman J.Richardson, Liberal, 5,560} Sir Havelock Allan, Liberal-Unionist, 1,490.Liberal majority, 4,070.In 1886 the Liberal-Unionist majority was 938.Bedfordshire, Bigglesroad division'.\u2014G.W.Russell, Liberal, 6,6001 Yiscouut Baring, Liberal-UatonMt, 5,056.Liberal majority 544.In 1886 the Liberal-Unionist majority was 482.One of the worst disasters that has befallen the onti-Parnellites is the defeat of Wm.Murphy in StT Patrick\u2019s division of Dublin city.He was one of the best members of the lust House.He is largely engaged as a contractor iu the construction of railways and tramways.He is an Associate of Civil Engineers in Dublin and a director of the Waterford and Limerick Railway Company and the Belfast Tramway Company.He is held in high respect by the members of his party.The results of 18 of yesterday\u2019s pollings, received by noon to-day, show that the Liberals have gained five seats.At 3.15 o\u2019clock this afternoon, the total returns received snow the election of 186 Conservatives, 154 Liberals, 28 Liberal-Union ists, 20 auti Paraellitcs and 4 Parnellites.Vanity Fair says that (he Queen is much vexed at the defeat of the Marquis of Lome, who stood as a Liberal-Unionist in the Central division of Bradford, where he was defeated by Mr.G.Shaw Lefevre, the Liberal candidate.Her Majesty, the paper says, wras greatly opposed to his standing for election and wished him to take a seat in the House of Lords, to which he is entitled.Mr, Lefebvre had 4,710 votes (and Lord Lome 4,245.The Liberal majority in 1886 was 459.The Chronicle says :\u2014\u201cThe Government\u2019s disgraceful attempt to disfranchise workmen has succeeded.From nearly every constituency we have received reports of the failure of workmen to reach the poll.It cannot be doubted that the defeat of Joues, the Liberal candidate at Peckh&m, was primarily due to this cause.Earl Grey writes to the Timea'to contradict the assertion made by Mr.Gladstone in his speech on Wednesday that it took twenty of the most active years of his life to break down the system of protection and to establish free trade.Earl Grey contends that until the very eve of the final triumph of free trade, Mr.Gladstone was one of its most strenuous opponents, and he cites Mr.Gladstone\u2019s speeches of February and May, 1843, to prove the truth of what he says.He declares that

the Mosquito Infliction\u2014The Electric Treatment of Microbes.\u201cIn a measure, akin to the nse of electricity in furthering chemical Operations are the recently repotted experiments on passing currents through the soil in which plants were growing,\u201d says Professor Elihu Thomson in the July New England Magazine.\u201cThe reported results are that plants so treated developed much more rapidly than others similarly placed, but which did not receive the effect of current.Future tests will undoubtedly be made on this important subject, and should the results be confirmed and prove to be economically obtained, the outcome may be the establishment of electrical farms and we may yet partake of early electrical vegetables, even if we do not find pommes de terre a la dynamo or asperges électriques on our bill of fare.\u201cIf electricity may be found useful in favoring the growth of plants under suitable conditions, may it not also bo found useful iu limiting the number of insect pests ?\u201cNow we can make a netting of a warp of fine metal wires and a weft of silk threads, arrangiug it so >that every alternate wire is rcspectivêly Connected to the positive and negative pole Of a small induction Coil capable of giving a small spark and yet of insufficient force to pass from wire to wire in the fabric.It is safe to say that an insect, such as a fly or mosquito, alighting on such a surface would receive his quietus, Or be electro-cutcd strictly in accordance with New York methods.To go farther than this it may be suggested that electricity applied in some proper way may eventually lie found capable of aestroy-ing bactaria or microbes, now known to be the cause of disease so destructive to animal and even to vegetable life.\u201d In old times it seemed to be thought that a medicine must be nauseating to be effective.Now, all this is changed.Ayer\u2019s Sarsaparilla, one of the most powerful alteratives, is agreeable to most palates, the flavor being by no
