Qi l: sc , Feb.If.Two tiior- of the victims oi the u-rrible boiler explosion at the worsted factory (tin late Ihomas Stoyles ami William Adam-» were hurled this afternoon, the large funerals in both cases marking the respect for tluir memory.It is probable that tlie fatal list will t tnbrace two or three, if not more, of the injured sutlrrers before it cloees.Willie Htoylts, Mr.T.Warren and Francois Dion, one of the Lexis machinistn, are all reported very low, and it will be almost n miracle if they recover.Tim otln rs are still doing well.In Trinity Church, ytsterday, the Rs-v.Mr.Lariviere preached a vermon lienring on the fatal occurrence, mid during tlie delivery tom lied very feelingly on the tragic death of William Adams, one of tlie victims, who had been a devout member of the congregation.He paid a high trilmte to tlie deceased, and »poke svnipn!helically of his young widow, lo St.Matthew a and other local churches, tlie preachers nl>o seized the occasion to dwell in their discourses on the uncertainty of life.WHAT ONK OK TIIK IKJl\u2019RKD H A VS.It is raid that Francois Dion, the machinist alteady referred to, who wa-working at the engine with the others wh- n the explosion took place, l as made the foil w-ing sintt-nient.He says thny bad commenced the test on Wednesday afDrnon with 71 lbs.of steam, but could not get the engine to w ork.Next morning they decided to increase the pressure, but mi-ccried no better.Dion seeing the boiler becomered hot and fearing an accident, threw himself under the enormous fly wheel, weighing about 2),non lbs.He bad hardly done tins when tin* boilei blew tin, making a terrible report and shaking tlie ground.The chimney rose about th.ee or four feet and came down in showers of bricks, which crushed everything hem nth them Dion owed his safety to the wheel, which prevented th \u2022 debris from crushing him He days the pipe conveying the mater to the boiler had become fnucti.THE COROSKR\u2019B INoI\u2019KST into tlie cniise of the fatal explosion was continued this morning.Mr.Pcniland, (J.O., iht W\" tod 1 '\"\t¦ tny.and Mi ib lleau, Q 0., appearing for M sr*.Oarnor, Lame a Go.At'\"r ihe examination of Mr.JunifB lirodie, acting Bu[iri'iniendent of (lie factory, and Col.Void, Chit! of Police, Mr.Janit s Fl< ming, a dyer in tlie company's etn ploy, was examined and explained bis own eccapc from tlm exidosion.He also stated Hint there w-re three l oile s, communicating w itb each other, and that ail three were used when Ihe factory was running.Th« late Mr.Stoyle?was the chief mechanical engineer, B< njamin Harvey was Ids a-sistant, aud Fred.Hanley, now dead, was the fireman.He did not remember a panie having occurred some eight or ten days previously through something going wrong with the engine, and he had no kuowledgo ol li juor having been brought into the building before the accident.In conclusion, Fleming sai l that at far as ho knew, Harvey was competent for his position.Harvey him elf was then examined and his evidence was as follows boiler under repairs, witness said that there whs no water nr lire in it, the other two being nsi d to hi at the factory.The night before the explosion, with b.'i pounds of steam, tv»» failed to mote tlie engine.1 suggested tunk inu* an experiment, but the chief engineer decided to w lit until Mr.Tweddoll arrived in the morning.Witness added that be was t'oeitiX' that no lii|tior was brought into the building that morning and that uohody present was under its inlluence.AN ADJOL\u2019HN MKNT of the Coroner s impicst took place after a long cross-examination of Mr Harvey, Hie assistant engineer, which, however, elicited no new facts ot importance.THE ANCIENT CAPITAL.(/Vom Oisr Own Corrt»ponJ*nt.) W.I'.T.U.ANNUAL HFI'oHr.Tin: MOKNIMI OK TIIK orctIRRKNC¦ I arrived at the factory about six o\u2019clock and descended to the lire hole to see that the boileri were iu order, as was my customary habit i found them in good ord* r.At that time Fr.d Hanley, fireman, was engaged in firing up.He l ad about \"0 or 07 pounds of steam ou.i met Mr.Stoyles, who told me to put suam on in the main building.I immediately executed his order, a .d ostivd Hanley if he had much water in his boiler.11\u201c replied ti nt there was as much us usual\u2014tho gauge being thrce-ijnartcrs full.I then went into the « nginc room, where Mr.Tweddell was taking t rf the cover of tlie steam chest- Ho was aided by the men ol Mes-rs.Carrier, Laine k Co I helped them until Mr L> m din, foreman of the above firm, .-ent me to join the foot valve.Arthur Pierson came with me.When we werecanyiug out the order Mr.Lemelin appeared and at that moment tlie explosion occurrt d TRRRIBLt EXPERIENCE.As we wer standing everything tumbled al out us w itli nn awful crash and we heard a gi Dt rai l ty ol d BtMM.then under- neath the i ngme in a cellar eight or nine feet high.It wut where the condenser was.In making our way out through the debris we heard moaning' underneath th\" cylinder, where tlie low pressure is, and there picked up Morripon and his son and another named Pierson.We saw a good many corpses beneath tlie cylinders.It whs there that Mr.Tweddell and Messrs.Carrier, Laine k Co.\u2019s men were found dead.About five minutes before the explosion the steam gaug< indicated 40 pounds of steam.Of this I am positive.Tho engine was under the care of Mr.Tweddell and tho men of Messrs.Carrier, Laine k Co.i was to be put in charge immediately after it was repaired.Decease ), Hanley, was attending to tlie boilers.He was at h\u2019s post at six o'clo'k in the morning.The w ater was procured from a tank placed behind the boilers, near the wall.The tank was furnished from the River Ht.Charles.There was a distance of two feet between each boiler, but no spare boiler.The thickness of the iron must have been three eighths of an inch.ONE OF THE HOII.KHS 1 ELL on the side of the wall.]t is torn and split in two places.The other two I do not know what became ol them.Do not know which one caused the explosion.The engine was of 300 horse power.I bold au engineer s certificate, but never underwent an examination.The engine was not new, having been in use about nine years.Hanley, to my mind, was a competent man as stoker.He was only in charge of the boilers nine days, but had worked previously on one of the steam dredges.Five minutes before the explosion the steam gauge marked about 4\u2019i pounds of steam.There was no steam in the cylinders fcs the men ware working at them.My wages was nine dollars per week.TIIK STEAM r.ACOB WAS NEW.It had l e.The an-no;n''ement of th', r and instructing the meaim-rs to vote for the passage of the act.tRTCALLY HBITDIATtON.t- St vt- the farmers are reviving the 1 an agencies thu' when their no* - s f-vll due they must be paid.Ther- w.\u2019.l t* r.o extension.T e compani-s, whi't: are Urg-dy in- i-n-.-i by th* defeated S-na\u2019or.IngaBs, say that the security ha?b-ea d pre-ciated and made bai because the leg-la-ou that s proposed is virtu vdy repu iia- .on.C ease, tient iy t:.e money will b t-ti-;- n from the State Thu s especially noticeaol* in R sa a:i i Atchison counties, where the loxns are tag calltd u so rtpi-lly thv nearly eve-y Tam er in \u2022Lese counties has rvCvive i the nouée.WiLl NOT ACCEPT SILVER.here s a slight relief offer* i.for other v- a- : \u2022 ,y they w l loaa the at the old rates o: interest on the farm?, jff-.red assistance is eagerly taken tnd re - gctd.g-ner.allv wit'hoit 'arsf.l will b of oak and will be cover'd with black I roadcb.tti and lined wall white satin Tliuri-de a few imimate fri.'iid?only will bî per-milted to look at the remains.MOKK NOMINATIONS.Toitoxt, Feb.I \u2014fho following nominations we e ma le in Ontario yesterday \u2014 H-\u2019uih OxIorl.Oarteneh*, tl-tonn, Mcuth N.if Is, KUk, K f >iui.Ko m XVa erlo l.lvlcgat n.Ksform.Dmhaoi Ka»i, t t wi*.Cjimnatlve.j.th Ortnvilla, Csrruther*, Htfcrtn.HtlOiniand, Colter, IWOM.Noita Ui .ut, Kcu tivllle, lU-foriu.Bu' age-.mens Th* ; t notes i r- re BANK R '35ERY IN LONDON.L »:\u2022 *\u2022 Ft': - \u2014A daring robbery wa* comtEUted here to-tay.A strlisuly d'-ssei mar a*coi ei in the National Provinuii B^nk o*- Ecglani a e!

How slow were his steps compared with the revolutions of the wheels ! Twice he looked back, as his feet slipped and stumbled on the rough floor of the tunnel, and the third time the red hot sparks heating against the roof, not a half mile below him, showed how remorselessly the engine was lessening atevery swift revolution of its wheels the distance between them.He threw aw ay his patched and soiled coat to cool his reeking body.Desperately he struggled to increase his speed ; despiiringly he saw that it would soon be too lata ! The choking fumes of sulphur from the tire box almost strangled him.The strong exhausts grew louder ; every second the tierce sparks were nearer, and the roar and rattle of the train, confined to the narrow walls, almost deafened him.He was accustomed to all the dangers of the mines, but to be crushed beneath the iron wheels when his wedding day was so near ! He gave a hoarse cry at the thought, and the warning words of Job sounded again in his cars.'* Ü sweetheart !\" All the agony of his mind came to hia lips in those words, as he looked hack and saw the faint outline of the engine a short distance below him, surrounded bv a halo of fire.His breath came in quick aobs ; his legs refused to move ; fascination held him motionless until the sparks from the stack almost rebounded from the roof against him.Then, with a despairing cry, he took his hat from his head to cover his face ! Hia lamp I He li&d no matches, but with a trembling band ho forced the cover open, bending over, he poured the oil out on the rails, and then took a few steps up the track.Throwing his lamp away, he stumbled n over the tics, fell down and closed his eyes, A second more and the wheels of the engine struck the oiled surface of the rails, and the friction between them being diminished, the wheels spun around helplessly ; the train be ing on a heavy up grade came to a speedy stop.Then all w as still.Dennis fell back unconscious.The en gineer, cursing angrily at w\u2019hat he knew not particularly, climbed out of the cab, followed by the fireman, to see what was the matter.No sound betrayed the cause of their stoppage.The escaping steam from the safety-valve hissed spitefully, until the discovery of the lamp and oiled rails explained the mystery.A few steps further up the track was dis covered the prostrate form of aman, lying at rose the ties.Tenderly they picked him up and carried him to the cab of the engine, where they made a bed of < oats for him : and the wheals that w ould have crushed him bore bis weight over the rails to the foot of the shaft.The pure air soon revived him, and the \u201c footmen \" and driver hoys crowded around the engine as they saw it coming without its customary train.A dozen lights flashed in his face as be opened bis eyes and met the sympathizing looks of hia comrades, while the engineer teisely explained his narrow \u2022scape.The next ascending \"cage\" carried hi'ii ami two attendants upward to the earth, that never before looked so beautiful in the ha/y twilight as then : and ns the engines puffed loudly with their heavier burden ot coal coming up on the other \" cage,\" he walked slow ly away in a dream, not able to r« all/o that the pure air of heaven was blowing in his face.The news was quickly noised about, and soon reached the ears of his sweetheart, whoso consoling words made even the harsh voice of Job sound sweet thatev«niog.\u2014/f.D.Fillmore in yctUA'» ComjxtniOH.gtmî.\tliJÎHJ For OcR Six lit'NORKIi wisest men to sit down and legalize the liquor truflic Is a piece of insanity only t\u2019qualhd by that of the poo pie who permit them.\u2014Irvk Tem/nranee K j.iagtu Journal.CHILDREN\u2019S CORNER.A TWILIGHT STOKV.\" Auntie will you tell a story ?' said my little niece of three, As the early winter twilight fell around us silently, So 1 answered to her pleading : \u2022* Once when 1 wan very small, With my papa and my mamma I went out to make a call ; And a lady, pleased to see us, gave me quite a large bouquet, Which 1 carried homeward proudly, smiling all along the way.\" Soon I met tw o other children, clad in rags and sad of face, Who grew strangely, wildly joyous as I neared their standing place.Twas so good to see the flow\u2019era ?\u2018 Give us one\u2014oh, one !\" they cried Rut 1 passed them without speaking ; left them with their wish denied.Yet the mem\u2019ry of their asking haunted me by night and day.1 Give us one !'

are the liest horsemen.They seem to be able to cling to the side of a horse like a fly, and hurl arrows under their horses' neck at an enemy on the opposite side.A Comanche cah run his horse at lull speed and readily pick upanything from the ground, suelias a hat, a bow, or an arrow.They arc likewise fine marksmen and can shoot an arrow with unerring accuracy.As soon as the boys are old enough to spring a bow they begin to practice, and it is astonishing how readily they familiarize themselves with its use.Once I saw a number of boys shooting at dimes ten paces oil', and I do not remember that a single one missed his aim.They enjoyed the sport very much, for each one hitting a dime was permitted to keep it.It was real fun for the boys, but expensive to those who furnished the targets.They learn to ride their ponies almost as soon as they can walk, ami hence it is that they become such expert horsemen.It was not until late years that they had to attend sct.ool, and before that their entire time was taken up in preparations to fit them-telvtstobe great and clli clout warriors.Their natural instincts, supplemented by a certain degree of intelligent observation, give to them certain powers not posstssed by white men.\u2019 I bis Is illustrated by a story told of art old Indian.On bis return borne, one day he dis-! covered that someone had .stolen his venirou, which had been hungup to dry, and ho set , out in pursuit of the thief, whom he tracked through the woods.Meeting some persons he asked if they had seen a little old white man w ith a short gun, accompanied by a small dog with a short tail.On being answered in the atlirmative, and upon being assured by the Indian that the man thus described had stolen his venison, they asked him how he was able to describe so accurately a man ho had never seen.The Indian replied : \"Tho thief I know is a little man by his having made a pile of stones to stand upon, in order to reach the venison from the height I hung it standing on the ground ; that ho is an old man I know hy his short steps, which I have \u2022raced over the dead leaves in tho woods ; and that he is a white man, I know by his turning out his toes when he walks, which an Indian never does.His gun I know to bo short by the mark the muzzle made ia rubbing tho bark of the tree on which it leaned : that his dog is small I know by hia tracks ; and that he has a short tail, I discovered by the mark it made in tho dust where he was sitting at the time his master was taking down the meat.\" Children are entirely under tho control of their mothers, and it is a remarkable fact that they are never whipped for misconduct.Tho punishment usually resorted to for any little misbehavior is to cover tho face of the guilty one with a coat of black paint, and until tho point is removed by tho mother, such an one is not allowed to enter the wigwam or have anything to eat.When the boy learns the use of a bow, he is allowed to exorcise his skill in shooting birds around the village, and when bo reaches the age of fifteen he is furnished with a gun and required to practise shooting geese, ducks and other water fowl.At night Ids father tells him stories about elk and bear bunting, how to approach the doer and butTalo, and when he has proven himself a good shut ho is permitted to accompany hunting parlies, and if successful his education is considered complete, and he is released from parental control to enter upon a life, the chief end of which is to cxocl in tho chase, and to gratify worldly appetites and desires.\u2014UluMraUd

ideal suggested by a story to be found in lirecian mythology.1 be story is to explain bow the island of Cyprus came to be so very beautiful.We are told of a goddess who walked with a soft and delicate tread about tho island, ami that, following her steps, every green herb and lovely flower sprang up by the way.This may become a literal fact in the life of every Christian young woman ; for if into her soul God has been welcomed, along her footsteps every plant of Christian usefulness may spring up, and every beautiful (lower of Christian adornment may grow, until all shall unite in calling her \u2022\u2018blessed.\" There can be no higher ideal for any Christian woman than to merit the being culled, cot so much bright or beautiful, as \"blessed.\u2019\u2019\u2014Rev.Qtrartl B.F,

quits it, in his workiog clothes and more or less be grimed with toil.Those who have read these letters do not need to be told that they are well informed, logical, thoughtful, as well as fair and courteous when controversial.All workingmen do not think for themselves nor areallof those whodoabloto express them selves as clearly and forcibly as this writer, but it is probable that from the very nature of their occupation which leaves their minds comparatively free in many cases, working men do think more upon general political and economical subjects than other classes whoie attention is taken up with social matters when not given to business alTtirs.We do not think, therefore, that the workingmen cf Montreal or elsewhere shut their eyes, open their mouths, and gulp down,with* out examieation, the degrading and humiliating declarations nvide by a few manufacturers to the ellect that both they and their workiugmen are living as parasites upon the farmers, ami that unless allowed to do so they mustatarvs.l.\u2019nrestricted reciprocity with the United States wil), say theic manufacturers, nsult in depriving C anadian workingmen of employment or of lessening their wages.Now kits this prediction any reasonable grounds or is it a mere bngbear to frighten the working men, whom the manufacturers eeem to regard as childishly timid and unthinking.In the first place the workingmen know that under the prêtent condition of things, Canadian workingmen have no protection at all fr* m competition, as workingmen from all parts of the world can flock to Canada and take the places of ( anadisn workingmen should they combine to limit labor by strikes acd raise wages.The manufacturers can combine to limit produc-tion and raise the prices of their products, aa many of them have done, and protection keeps out foreign goods, which would prevent combinations from being successful.Thus protection enables the Canadian manufacturer to raise the price of his goods and it does not compel him to pay higher wages to his workingmen.Now is it probable u;.der these circumstances that the manufacturer ie anxious to pret rvo protection against the Coiled States, because he is afraid the workingmen would aufTer if it were taken away, or ie ho afra\u2019d that it might interfere with hi# own purticclar interest in obtaining cheap labor.Every Canadian workingman know# well rnough that wages are lower in Canada than tk* y are in the United states, that he does not receive os high pay a* lie would do in the United States.Every workingman knows that many Canadian workingmen arc taught their trade tho best of all for all.DEADLY LEVEL CROSSINGS.ALD.McBRIDE ENTERS THE LISTS AGAINST THEM.MAYOR R SHAVK AND HI8 ATTEMPTS TO KEHP OltPKR BXSt'LT IS WORSE
