Swallowed Iodine In Place Of Cascara. Ottawa, April 3.--8ir John Bourinot, clerk of the house of commons, had a narrow escape from death last night. He drank some iodine, thinking it was cascars, and a doctor had to be summoned at once. Dr. Birkett at- tended Sir Jobn and menaged to re lieve his patient and save his life, The mistake in taking the iodine was made in the dark. Si@John pick- ed up a bottle from the place where the cascars was and swallowed some of it. Then he found that ill was io- dine, and a doctor was summoned.

Paris, April 3.--Great Britain has refused the brother of Gen.

Mr. Brodrick, the British war secretary, while disclaim- ing the least suspicion of Villebois- Mareuil's bona fides, says that it is practicable to obtain sufficient guar antees regarding the stafis of ambul- ances sent by neutrals and that such guarantees cannot, usfortunately, be dispensed with in view of what the British government has experienced in the course of the present campaign.

FIRE BURNED FOR 53 YEARS COAL MINE BLAZE THAT HAS BEEN ONE OF WONDERS. Fire Could Not Be Quenched And "Was Allowed to Burn Itself Out--Final Scene Witnessed by One Man Only. Wilkesharre, April 3.--The fire in the mine at Summit Hall, Caruon county, is out, after furnishing 5 spectacle for over fifty years. The mine caught five { before the civil war. The fre could not be controled, and it was decided to let it bun itself ont, There was much speculation gt that time as to how long it would take The hill over -the main fire rose to & height of sixty or seventy feet and the veins, outcropped nt the. dop. It wus, therefore, apparent that the coal would have to be burned feom the very heart of the hill before the fire sould eat itself out. "Many mining men believed that the fire would burn out in ten years, awd pone gave it more than twenty years, but its life proved to be bfty-three years. For many years there were no outward signs of fire e.ept the smoke gas which escaped from some na faral ventholes, but of late years the J Chad so eaten npwards into hill that at might the flames were plamly visible and could be seen for mi The final act of the fire was wit | need Ly only one man, a miner who | was on his way home from work, Sun | day morning. He was passing within hall a mile of the hill when he heard {a rumbling, evidently, caused by the jaccumulation and explosion of gas in the interior of the hill These explosions grew in force { til there was a very loud report and a gush of flames end smoke from the {top. Then the peak of the hill sank {in slowly, and the sides tumbled in | after it, filling up the hallows in the { veins below, long ago eafgn out by | the flames. | Showers of sparks and great gushes | of smoke burst forth and the heavens | were lighted by the flames as the hill feank. The whole time consumed in | this fnal work of destruction was not | more than half an hour, and when it | was over, the hill was like the crush {ed in top of a pie, and the fire which i had burned for fifty-three years was {slowly dying ont for want of fuel to { feed upon. It had eaten out the hill until there was nothing left but a crust, un STOCKS JUMPING UP. Said Now To Be Above What Is Warranted: Montreal, April 3.--The 'public seems to have gone wild over the dominion stocks judging by the excited { manner in whioh the prices are jump ing up. Conservative people in the stock market express the opinion that prices have gahe iar above what Are warranted by the circumstances, but buying goes on just the same and con gervative opinions do not count in the present state of the market, After yes at Bl steel, common, jumped to 572 in the first hour to day. Steel preferred rose to 95 and the bonds to-931--Pominion coal rose to 134 and Montreal power 105 Up to twelve o'clock the trading in the stock market in Dominion steel, common, amounted to upwards of 11,000 shares, breaking all previous records for a day's trading in one stook. The price rose from 5 at the opening to 64 and then reacted to 61. Yesterday's closing was 51. The trading was attended with scenes of the greatest excitement both on the part of the brokers and clients. The great majority of small speculators went in blind and large sums were made. The speculative fever which has seized the market is unprecedented, and no one pretends to know what is putting the price of steel so high, other than the usual "street" gossip that it is going up, on general prin ciples, just like Dominion coal a good many say. There is some talk of a hig merger of some kind which James Rose and his party has on hand which will concern steel and coal, but reports are of a very hazy character, as yet. 575,000 steel bonds sold at 924 to M3} aod back to 92.
