F, Hauirax, N.S., July 11.—The terrible con- fiagration which broke out in St. Johns, N.F., on Friday, and continued all day Saturday, rendering from 14,000 to 15,000 homeless, many of them destitute of food and as well, bas stirred the hearts of the citizens of Halifax to the necessity of prompt measures of relief.

Copies of the follow- ing dispatch have been forwarded by the citi- zens’ committee to the mayors of all the cities and towns in the province: “The citizens’ committee have now full in- formation that two-thirds of the city of St. Johns is destroyed by fire and that 19,000 per- sons are without shelter. food or clotaing.

COMMUNICATION RESTORED.

Fourteen thousand persons have been rendered homeless.” ais Cees In reply toa m ‘announcing the send- ing of i by the Utunda the following dis- patch was received: “The government gratefully acknow! the receipt of very liberal donations of citizens of Halifax for the relief of the destitute and the government would be glad to receive one hundred barrels of pork.” ‘The citizens’ committee on Saturday evening sent the following dispatch to the gentlemen in charge of the relief measures at St. Johns: “The Utunda and H.

Grateful for promises of help, which will be greatly valued and meot dire need.” WHERE THE FIRE BROKE UT. Later details show that the fire broke out in O'Brien's store, at the junction of the Fresh- water and Pennywell roads, at Sp.m. The houses in the vicinity were of wood and the fact ‘that there had been no rain for three weeks before the fire rendered the houses more inflammable. The flames swept down Long’s Hill, taking down the Methodist College _ buildings and Masonic Hall, and spread to Catho- dral Hill The Episcopal Cathedral, which cost half (a destroyed.

Those’ preparations" complcted. the or was led from the prison, sur- rounded by a strong guard. Itwas dawn, and when Ravachol emerged from the gates his eyes fell upon # great crowd of people who had gathered to see him die. He ‘was placed in the privon van and hurried to the lace of execution, around which a cordon of had becn drawn. There were military pickegs also throughout the town, but the pre- cautions which had been taken to guard against disorder seemed wholly unnecessary, as the crowd which had gathered was composed of mere curious sightseers and no sign of any anarchistic bite ae f with the condemned was visible. Their indifference was shown by the way in which they regarded the prisoner when he was brought to tho guillotine. They looked upon him as upon some ‘animated being and made no response to his words or gestures. When the prison van reached the scaffold Ravachol was asked if he desired to say any- thing. He replied that he would address the crowd, but instead of speaking he began to sing sn indeoent song and to the refrain as roll as he could with hisankles strapped. ‘The officers in charge soon tired of this burlesque and gave the signal to M. Diebler. The executioner’s assistants at once seized Ravachol, whereupon the latter's demeanor suddenly changed. Hoe dropped his assumption of indifference and furiously, but was speedily overpowered and borne to the fatal block. “Even while tied down on the plank he continued his futile struggles, utter- ing meanwhile the foulest epithets and curses, The indecent and blasphemous tirade was cut short by the swift descent of the knife, and at 4:07 o'clock the head of the notorious ‘robber, incendiary and murderer rolled into the basket. The crowd witnessed the horrible ee the same stolid indifference that had ter- ized their conduct throughout. There was none of the irreverent hilarity common to crowds on such occasions, and it was evident that no sympathy was felt for the man who had pretended to commit his crimes in the interest of the people. RAVACHOL'S CBIMES. Ravachol was one of the most extraordinary criminals of the age. Ravechol’s first murder was that of the hermit of Chambles, Brother Jacques Brunel, inthe month of June, 1891. Brunel was an old man of ninety who lived in « state of solitude amid the Froez mountains. The object.was robbery. Ravachol was ar- rested, but escaped. Six weeks later he killed and robbed two old ladies at St. Etienne. He esqped without being arrested. About the same time he robbed the ve of Baroness de Rochetailles, near St. Etienne, In 1886 near La Varizelle he killed an old man of eighty, Jean Baptiste Rivollier, noted for his charity. He also killed an old woman servant of Rivollier. | Besides these crimes he ieee pected of many others previous to mite operations in Paris, which caused the loss of several lives and destruction of much prop- erty. —— THE VOTES OF BRITONS.

WASHBURN OX QPTIOXS. ‘Mr. Washburn said that he had, in the early ays of the session, introduced a bill having fog its purpose and intent the Putting an end to the system of dealing in aoa futures. or (in common parlance) “‘short sell- ing.” That bill had been drawn on the lines of the so-called Butterworth bill. ‘That bill was the subject of very extensive criticism, and he had (availing himself of such | criticisms) afterward introduced another bill with the same object, and which met the situa- tion more completely and satisfactorily. The bill passed by the House was, substantially, the same in principle and in methods of dealing with the question as the last bill introduced by him, and would accomplish (with some amendments which he would propose) what its friends desired without interfering with the commerce of the country..

JONNSON'S ASSESSMENT BILE. Mr. Hemphill then, to the surprise of a few, called up Mr. Johnson's bill in regard to the as sesament of real estate in the District. This bill was printed in full in Tux Stama few days.ago. This bill, it will be remembered, provides for of the whole. tele geome on ghd Y the House into committee of the whole. Mr. Atkinson, \ded_a division on the motion. The vote was sixty-seven aves to one poor little nay, Mr. Bowers casting the vote. A POINT OF No QUORUN. Mr. Atkinson remarked that there was no | quorum and tellers were ordered. The House or was very thin at the time, and Mr. Atkinson, with a large-sized palm-leaf fan, and Mr. | Bingham, with a sardonic amile, watched cheer- | fully the efforts to get 167 members to pass | through the tellers. It is probably needless to say that both Mr. Atkinson and Mr. i are from the state of the Pennsylrania railroad. After some delay a quorum was ob- tained and the House went into committee of the whole. Mr. Atkinson wanted the report on the bill read. He probably thought it was.a long one. | It was not. It only took up ten lines, | it referred to the report from | the commitice for sesement, and Mr. | ‘inson made the point that this report should be read. The report ocoupied 150 pages and much to the relief of the Honse the pont was overruled. MR. JOHNSON SUPPORTS His BILL. Mr. Johnson took the floor in support of the bill. The present assesement, he said, fixed the value of the property in the District at $272,- Mr. and Mrs. Linkins State Their Differ. husband denied the charge.
