THE city was in darkness last night soon after nine o'clock. Upon enquiry it was found that the Anglo-American line had been struck by lightning and their relay in ; the city othee destre ryed. It 1s supposed that the lightning struck the Auglo-American line out of town and then distributed umong the various electric lines in the city, as the switch board in the central office of the Telephone Co “sparkled” and thought to be on fire. The night operator in the Telephone Office became alarmed, and supposing the trouble to have been

The Colonial Exhibition. The first week of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition has been one of complete success. The public have flocked in great numbers, and the total at the close of the week on Saturday was oflicially returned at 128,077. The numbers on Wednesday were 12,137, and on Friday 21,076. The first Wednes day at the Inventions Exhibition last year Was only, 92435, and first W ednesday was in the Fisheries Exhi- bition 9,198. The first w eek ot the Fish- eries had the benefit of Whit-Monday, and the total ran up to 132,949. The First Friday last year recorded 12.391. The total for the four days ending on Friday night was over 94,000, and Saturday was a very full day, for which 25,000 may be taken in round numbers, so that this year's success will about equal the Fisheries with- out the help of the Whit holiday, which will not oceur until the middle of June.

They Cannot Get Bait.
the largest previous
A Gloucester fisherman, who has return- ed to his home at Shelburne, N. S., says he had been fishing out of the States for some time and did well till this spring, when he shipped in a small Portland schooner, intending to fish on Lahave bank. The vessel was engaged on the one-fifth lay and consequently the mengvere to pay for their outfits. They got an early start and came down as usual to Digby to bait up, but the Lansdowne happened to be there, and they were forthwith ordered to keep off, which they did for a few days, dodging around outside till they thought the coast was clear. Then they put back, only to find the same cruiser there and be driven off again. This was repeated several times until it became too monotonous to endure. The Lansdowne, he said, once took hold of them, but finally let them go, on a promise not to do so again. The crew became dis- gusted and went into Cranberry Island, Me., and lay back till the “grub was all gone,’ without having earned a red cent. He was therefore going home empty hand- ed, but full of wrath and profanity at Capt. Scott and the government. of American vessels, he says, are hampered for want of bait and are doing nothing.

Wreck of the William’ Law.
THRILLING ESCAPE OF PART OF THE CREW.
The Louisburg, C. B., correspondent of | the Halifax * Herald’ telegraphs as fol- lows off the 27th : The ship W illiam Law was 1599 tons register, and the fourth lar vessel out of Yarmouth. She sailed from Havre for North Sydney, tor ‘ on the 6th ult. On the 13th Martin Dane, fell from the maintopsail yard, and died from the eifects. She had A good passage with nN: W. winds to the Banks, when the wind veered to 5. W. with thick fog on the 23rd, and still continued S. with fresh breeze and dense fog. Tues- day the 25th the captain commenced sound- ing, and continued doing sv every hour and a half, getting no bottom until 3.30 a. m. Wednesday, when the lead struck at twenty- six fathoms. At this time the vessel was heading W. N. W. under three tupsails, spanker and jib, in easy working order, the wind still blowing fresh and a dense fog. Getting a sounding, wore ship, heading her E. by S., and still continued sounding, casting lead every hour and gradually get- ting deeper water, At 8 a. m. Wednesday got 39 fathoms, at 9a. m. 43 fathoms, at ¥.30 twenty-six fathoms, and then in a few minutes breakers were seen on the lee bow about a ship’s length away. Before any- thing could be done the ship struck on the rocks. Seeing that it was a case of pre- servation of life first, the second mate at the risk of his life, jumped from the ves- sel and succeeded in getting ashore, badly bruised and much exhausted. A deep sea line was then thrown to him, which, after several fruitless attempts, he caught. By means of this a heavier rope was drawn ashore and byfthis fastened to the vessel and made as taut as possible by being wound around a rock and held by the second mate, al! were saved with the exception of two, the steward, a native of Calais, France, who became entangled in ropes and was drowned and washed away ; and Lapoole, the cook, than two-thirds ashore when the vessel gave a lurch, plung- ing him into the water and causing him to his grasp. So suddenly did every- thing happen that nothing was saved. The captain, when he arrived here, was coatless, hatless, and bootless. The crew who came up to-day are now lying about the village, and present a forlorn appearance, being desti- tute of clothing. Nothing can be done to relieve them until authority comes from Ottawa. Surely there is something radic- ally wrong in a system which makes no im- mediate provision for such cases. The re- mains of the vessel has just been sold and bought in by A. J. McDonald of Sydney. The crew,was a motely one and the great wonder is that more lives were not lost, for the scene of the wreck is one of the wildest on this eastern coast. Near by, a number of years ago, a passenger vessel was wrecked, by which three hundred and seventy-tive lives were lost.

A MUSICIAN WRONGFULLY DETAINED FRENCH MADHOUSE—LIBERATED AT — HIS SEARCH FOR HIS WIFE.
IN A LAST
A Paris despatch says that the supposed lunatic who has been confined in the Mont- pelar asylum for the insane, has been liber- ated after the hearing of his case by the Tarascon tribune. His fortune, with accu- mulated interest, now amounts to 65,000,- 000 francs. His story isa sad one. He is now searching for his wife, whom his rela- tives caused to be expelled from France in 1837, because she refused, in return for an annuity of 500 francs, to acknowledge her- self a woman of bad character. Jean Mes- trel isa cousin of Frederick Mestrel, the poet. He is now an old man, much bent, with a frightened manner. He is complete- ly broken down and his nerves shattered. His experiences in the’ madhouse were dreadful and wrecked him physically, al- though his mindis sound. When arraigned before the tribunal Mestrel answered all the tests for sanity satisfactorily, and de- monstrated that there was no legitimate ground for his incarceration. He said he had married when a young man, without the consent of his parents, an opera singer named Drombrowska. His parents as a consequence declined to allow him any in- come, and he and his wife lived fora time on the proceeds of her operatic engage- ments. But after a wmle Drombrowska’s voice failed, and then they became itinerant musicians, and managed to eke out a scanty subsistence in this way. His wife at last consented to temporary separation, in the hope that her husband would become recon- ciled to his parents, and so be relieved of the hardships which they were obliged to endure. As soon as Mestrel placed himself within reach of his relatives they had him arrested on a charge of lunacy. From that time to this he has not seen his wife or heard anything cf her, and now that he has come into his fortune he will probably spend the rest of his life trying to find her, if, as is not unlikely, she has not died in the meanwhile.
Duped by a Sharper.
A man, giving the name of McNaughton, arrived at Montreal a short time ago, and on the strength of a story that a relative had just left him a vast fortune, negotiated for the purchase of the steamer Star to run between Montreal and New Brunswick, hired mechanics to fit her up and ebiained credit for various useful and portable articles to the extent of several hundred dollars, and then decamped. It now-appears that the same party was operating in New Brunswick recently. He passed there as a circus agent, and his plan was to call upon the farmers, enter into an agreement with them that they should deliver quantites of hay, etc., for a circus at a certain time and place. To make this agreement binding on the farmers, he requested them to pay him $5 or $10, which they invariably did.

Canadian Lebsters tin Demand.
It is interesting to note that while the dispute between Canadian and American fishermen is in progress a brisk demand for Nova Scotia lobsters has sprung up in New York, and large shipments are being made to supply it. This is the first season that the Nova Scotia lobster has found its way to New York, but it is predicted that it will not be the last, as the American lobster | growing smaller every vear.—- | Montreal Star. i
