taken another wife.
Commenting on his strange story,
ho said: "I left Gloucester sixteen
years ago and went to Concinnati,
where a severe operation was per
formed upon me for cancer. I then
went to Arkansas. For eleven years I
was postmaster at Simpson. Ark., in
Bradley county. I have been in Rog
ers only about two years and I am in
business there. I suppose that the
operation started the report that I
was dead.
"As to my first wife's affairs I am
wholly Ignorant, as I cut loose entire
ly when I left Massachusetts and have
never had any communication with
her Bince. I did not even know that
she was alive. I am going back
there."

and French at Fisk University, Nash

THE GREAT FIRE.
Five Square Miles Burned Over in
Ottawa and HwH«
Tho great fire at Ottawa, and Hull
on Thursday and Friday burned over
five square miles" of territory. jMore
than 2,000 buildings werjfjlestrbyed,
seven lives lost, seven thousand men
women and £hl)dren mad 4 homeless,
and the property loss li $17,000,000,
according to th& latest estimate.
A relief committeehaa been formed
by the citizens, and thld, together
with the Roman Catholic Archbishops
of Ottawa and Montreal, will make an
appeal for relief to the country. The
most serious problem that confronts
Hull is that of work. The majority
of householders who were burned out
are poor and have large families. It
is not expected there will be employ
ment for a considerable period, and
the way In which many of the poor
are going to live in the meantime is
doubtful.
On the Ottawa side fully two-thirds
of Dalhousie Ward Is devastated, and
an estimate by residents 'of the dis
trict places the number who were
without roofs of their own last night
in this district at 5000. The des
troyed property in this district in
cluded Bome of the finest residences
id Ottawa, as well as a great many
of thd humblest.
All of Hull's principal buildings
with the exception of the Roman Cath
olic Church arc things of the past.
The buildings and land in the place
are valued at $2,700,000, and of this
amount over $1,000,000 may be put
down as a loss. Then in stocks, fix
tures, equipment, household effects
and wearing apparel there is a loss
of nearly $3,000,000. The vast plies
of lumber which went up in smoke
may i.e reckoned at $2,000,000 more.
A FIGHT IN MID-STREAM.
Desperate Battle With an Insane Pa
tient in the River.
An insane patient in Blackwell's
Island, N. Y., named Garvin, escaped
and ran for the East River, April 25.
Meanwhile John Dougherty, one of
the guards, was slowly rowing along
the island water front in a small boat.
The madman darted ahead with
great speed, but steadily the boat
gained upon him. About midway be
tween the Island and the Manhattan
shore tho boat drew alongside the
swimmer.
Garvin grasped the gunwale with
his left hand, drew himself half out
of the water and shot his right fist
into Dougherty's face. The blow
caught the unsuspecting guard square
ly between tho eyes, landing him on
his back.
In another instant the crazed swim
mer had overturned the boat and the
men grappled fiercely in the water.
Garvin fought with the superhuman
strength of madness; Dougherty for
his life. Swept along by the strong
tide, the men clung desperately to
each other, each striving to force his
antagonist under water.
Garvin's muscular fingers had found
the guard's throat. Twice they had
gone down, the maniac on top, and
Dougherty's head was disappearing
for the third time, his strength gone
and hold relaxed, when the rescuers
reached them.
The guard was dragged into the res
cuing boat more dead than alive,
while Garvin, seemingly as strong as
ever, fought savagely to escape. A
blow from an oar finally knocked him
senseless. He was taken back to the
island and placed in a straightjacket.
It is estimated that $00,500,000 will
be spent this year by the following
railways: Baltimore and Ohio, $23,-
000,000; Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe, !?C>,000,000; Monon, $10,000,000;
Chicago and Alton, $2,000,000; Chi
cago, Itock Island and Pacific, $2,000,-
000; Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul,
$3,000,000; Illinois Central, $3,000,000;
Chicago and Eastern Illinois, $3,500,-
000; Chicago, Burlington and Quincy,
$0,000,000.
