started in a dispute between a man
known as "lid" Hennessy and a French
man named Ouilette, over religion,
Hennessy being a Protestant and (Juli
ette a Catholic. The two fought first
with fists and soon resorted to clubs. In
a few minutes the fight became general
and about thirty men engaged in a ter
rific battle with axes, limbs of trees and
lumps of ice.
A teamster named Wilson attempted
to stop the fight and was laid senseless
with a blow on the head. Then a team
ster named Taylor took a hand as peace
maker and laid about him with all
kinds of weapons. In a few minutes
the ground w as strewn with victims of
Taylor's powerful blows, and those who
had been injured in the mix-up. It is
thought that of the twenty or more hurt
some will die.

Andrew Carnegie, Miss Helen Gould,

of the Co-Operative Brotherhood atonce,
asking them to help the movement of
the brotherhood to establish co-operative
bakeries and provision stores for the

The necessaries of life are to be sold
without profit. One thousand dollars

movement in Belgium, and lias been
subscribed by members of Bakers' Union
No. 1," said President Storken.
I was one of the organizers of the co
operative movement in Belgium, and
have been engaged iu work of this kind
all my life. Neither politics nor religion
has anything to do with our movement.
Workingmen of all religious beliefs and
political opinions are asking to join this
movement. It already has a stroug
trades-union of 5000 workingmen, who
are readv to carrv on this work unaided.
But at the same time if there are wealthy
philanthropists willing to aid us we shall
jump at any offers of assistance that may
come from them. With the capital they
have at their command hoy could Ect
the co-operative movement in this
country so solidly on its feet that it
would last as long as the nation."

Lavering's three children were burned
to death this morning and his house, to
gether with its contents destroyed by
fire. Layering is u cripple, and earns
hia living by hauling weod. This morn
ing hu had gone to the woods to load his
wagon and his wife accompanied him to
assist.
About 11 o'clock a man ran up to them,
and informed them that their house was
on fire. Rushing to the ecene they found
the house entirely consumed, and, after
a little search, the charred remuins ol
their three lit(lo ones were discovered.
The children were aged 4 and i years,
and a O'luonths-old babe, which the
mother left sleeping in its carriage. The
origin of the lire is uncertain, hut Mrs.
Layering thinks the children must have
played with the fire.

Her Husband's Story
" My name is E. J. Sprong, and my uddress is 16 Bondman Block, Troy, N.
Y. I want to tell how thankful I am that my wife's health has been restored to
her. About a year ago she caught a dreadful cold, which settled in her bron
chial tubes aud lungs, hue cer
tainly had bronchitis, and I think
consumption, too, and wo de
spaired of her life. She had a
tightness and soreness in the
chest, and it was dillicult for her
to breathe. There wero darting,
sharp, dull and heavy pains, with
constant coughing and expectorat
ing. 12ach day she was worse
than tho day bofoie. I was ad
vised to get Acker s English Rem
edy, aud did so, but my wife only
shook her head and said : 'Another
dollar thrown away.' She took
the Remedy, however, and said
the effect was magical. In less
than an hour thero was a remark
able change. Slio got better at
once, and in a short timo slio was
entirely well and strong again. The cure was permanent and there has been
no relapse. I don't know'what Acker's English Remedy is made of, but 1 am
sure it contains something that fortifies the system against future attacks. My
wife is in better general health now than ever, and you can't imagine how
happy she is for her recovery. She tells everybody about Acker's English Rem
edy, aud so do I. for 1 believe it to bo our duty to tho public to help every suf
ferer who has throat aud lung troubles. My neighbors say it is a sure specific
for croup, and lias saved the lives of hundreds of little ones around iu this
viciuity alone."
