Actively Engaged in Preparing Her
Defenses.
Every Fort on the Pacific Coast to belm
* mediately Fortified.
Montreal, Qux., July 36.— Great interest
in the work of fortifying the Canadian
ports on t be Pacific Coast has been aroused.
The graving dock at Esquimault on Van
couver Island, has been completed, the
contractors having just handed it over to
the Government, and it is now proposed to
fortify Esquimault. There is ail insignifi
cant batc*r there at present, but it is
intended to erect a first-class fortress as
a set off to the great Russian fortress
of Petropolaupski in the North
ern Pacific. Colonel O’Brien and a corps
of Imperial engineers from Halifax have
passed through Montreal on their way to
British Columbia. They will survey Es
quimau and Victoria Harbor with other
points covering the Canadian Pacific Rail
road Company’s part at the Pacific, name
ly, Vancouver City. Sites for several forts
will be selected immediately, and the
armaments will be shipped from England
at an early day. It will be remem
bered that the first freight sent over
the Canadian Pacific railroad was a train
of monitions of war, sent by the Im
perial ntliorities from Halifax to Port
Moody. Bi C., which occupies only eight
days in'transit. The British Government
having adopted the Canadian Pacific rail
road as the military route between England
and the East, is deeply interesting in see
ing that the railroad harbor on the Pacific
is properly protected, and it is believed
that millions will be expended almost im
mediately in that quarter by the Imperial
and Canadian Governments jointly.
The ('anadiau Minister of Militia,
Sir Adolph Caron, has gone to
Englaiy. and it is believed his
missiorqias largely to do with the arrange
ment of the terms on which Canada and
England will co-operate in the construc
tion of thoso important military works. It
is said in well informed circles that Can
ada an 1 England will jointly erect the
work, that England will furnish the arma
ment. which will be first-class, and that
Canada will supply the garrison in times
of pea-'e. It is also understood that in
connection with the defenses there will be
the most modern torpedo service in the en
trance both north and south of Vancouver
Island.
DESTRUCTIVE STORM.
Pittsburgh and Adjacent Country Dam*
aged to the Extent of #350,000.
Pittsburgh, Pa., July 36.— Shortly before
noon to-day a ruin-storm passed over Alle

rain and hail descended in torrents, doing
immense damage, threatening a repetition

thij .y-soven lives were lost, and of which

lower portion of the two cities suffered the
greatest damage. Cellars, first floors of
dwellings and store-rooms were flooded;
fences aud outhouses washed away. Tele
graph and telephone wires are down in all

Eassable, and trains on several railroads
ave been temporarily abandoned on ac
count of slides an The damage

life has as yet LWii report
by this morning’s storm will
reach $350,000. The storm was the
most, severe known for many years.
From almost every town along the
rivers reports are coming in of great dam
aiff. Houses were flooded and struck by
lightning, crops destroyed and trees and
fences washed away. Almost every rail
road entering the city suffered from land
slides and washouts. Whole fields of wheat
and corn have been destroyed, and at one
point Evans City a strip of woodland
yards wide by three-quarters
o£ a mile long was leveled by a tornado.
| A Druggist’s Mistake.
Pleveland, 0., July 26.—Early this
morning, Mrs. Andro Bartoli, an Italian
woman living on Broadway, near the great
Newburg Rolling Mills, sent her son to J.

amount of sugar of milk. Three children
were ill and tne drugs were for them, the

insane.

HCGANSHELF’S CURSE.
It Comes at His Funeral and Splits Hi*
Collin IVulc Open.
Reading, Pa., July 37.—A horrible story
comes from Stroudsburg, the county-seat
of Monroe County. Hillary Hognnshelf
and Alvin Kenimiug were farmers and
lived on adjoining farms. They had a
quarrel about a new fence, went to lav*
and Mr. Hoganshelf defeated Mr. Kem.
niing. Hoganshelf then comniarided
Kemming never to speak to him,
and even remain from his funeral. He
warned his people and hoped lightning
would strike his coffin if his wishes were
not respected. Finally, Hoganshelf took
sick, and again emphasized his wishes
about Kennning. Death soon cam?, but
Kemming was invited to be a pallbearer,
and he accepted. The funeral book place,
and nothing happened until the straps wvre
being removed from under the coffin. Sud
denly a black cloud sailed over the heavens
and rain fell in torrents. A flash of light
ning startled every body, crashed into the
grave and split the c tiffin. The mourners
fled in terror, and the grave was not closed
until after the storm.
A DANCE OF DEATH.
Merrymakers About a Coffin Struck Do wn
By Lightning.
Ottawa, Ont., July 37.—During a terrific
thunder storm which passed over this dis
trict last night an appalling tragedy was
enacted in a cottage belonging to Jos. God
derau, about eight miles from here. God
derau’s aunt had died the previous day,
and last night several friends assembled to
console the bereaved relatives. Lamenta
tions gave way to hilarity, which seems to
have driven away ail thoughts of the storm
which was raging outside. While the
mirth was at its height a bolt of lightning
descended the chimney, and striking the
coffin, which was near the fireplace, broke
it open. Two young men, Eugene Gareau
and Francis X. Bauvier, were instantly
killed. The electric fluid then made the
circuit of the chamber, causing the half
dozen other occupants of the room to faint
with the shock. It was many hours before
any of them recovered, and consequently it
was not until late this afternoon that the
particulars of the tragedy became known
THE SUCKING OF EGGS.
A Popular Pastime in Khode Island Since
Prohibition Carried.
Boston, July 37.— An ingenious way of
getting around the prohibition law in
Rhode Island uvas discovered yesterday.
Several cases of eggs were tipped off a
truck bv*aecident Tremont street. On
picking up the eggs from the street they
were found to be made of porcelain, and
instead of containing the legitimate pro
ducts of the barnyard, they were filled with
whisky, each egg holding a good square
drink. As one of the spectators expressed
it, the liquor was put, in the big end and
the hole stopped Ay cement clot h, which
was chalked to represent the natural col
or. The driver of the team suid he was
taking them from a liquor dealer at the
North End to the Providence depot. The
cases were marked to hotels in Newport
and Nurragansett Pier, Rhode Island.
There were six cases of forty-nine dozen
each.

Unhappy Labrador.
St. Johns. N. F.. July 37.—The schooner
Barrett has put in here, bringing the latest
news from the Labrador coast. On July
19 a two days’ snow storm buried Eastern
Labrador, cutting off all communication
with its population of 15,000 persons. The
snow has closed all the trails. The relief
vessels will now go direct to York Bay to
relieve first the sufferers there. A White
Bay dispatch states that whal
ers report that Hudson Bay Strait
is again frozen over, which is an
unprecedented occurrence at this season.

grees below zero is, however, denied. It
has not gone lower than ten degrees above.

Arctic ice along the coast, and it docs not
extend beyond 30 ) miles from the sea. Up

A Woman’s Mistake.
Pittsburgh, Pa., July 27.—Mrs. John j
Prill, of South Twenty-eighth street, made
a mistake yesterday which may cost her
eyesight and disfigure her for life. She be .
came greatly frightened when the terrible
storm, which passed over this section,
broke in its fury, and she ran up to her bed
chamber for a vase of holy water with
which to sprinkle herself, in the hope that
in that way she might ward off impending
danger. In the excitement of the moment
and the semi-darkness of the room, she
missed the bottle in which the w ater was
kept, and seized one filled with sulphuric
acid.
