This morning sanitary ofHcers with a truck visited ttrese places and loaded up tho pojson-ious sweets and took them to the dump at West Thirty-eighth street.

The candy was sprinkled with carbolic acid to keep the street urchins from eating it. They didnt find this out u.itil their mouths were full. Then they did. Several small dealers whose vdioie stock wos taken complained bitterly, but most of thera gave no trouble. About two tons of this candy was destroyed, and the work will be continued tomorrow.

Fire Department of the District of Columbia and visiting firemen, Poisoned Fish. Dayton, Ohio, December 17. The mys-tery Furrounding tho poisoning of tho Dayton Holly water is as yet unsolved, and no one seems to lo able to give any satisfactory explanation of what it is or how it became contaminated.

All that is known is that all the fish of the city in aquariums or ponds supplied by Holly water have died within the last few days. The largest of these was at Sachs Pruden's where over ten thousand fish were killed. There were eighteen species of the finny tribe in the aquarium, among which were three dozen mountain tront, whose value was considerable. A number of tho gold fish had only been purchased a few days ago, ami were very large and Ix'uutit'ul. There were also over eone hundred crawfish in the water, nnd these were among the first to die.

Shortly before tho death of tho fish they struggled violently to the top of tho water and showed ail the symptoms of poisoning. A-'ter death thej were surrounded by air bubbles. The best explanation as to tho cause of the sudden death of a fish, though by no means a detiniteor satisfactory one, is that some poisonous gas had emonated from tho water well and had been pumped into the pipes. The water is being used by many thousands of our citizens, aud though several mysterious poiaou-ing cases have occurred here recently it can not be definitely said that they resulted from the use of the Holly water. Those who have been using Holly water are greatly agitated over the strange discovery, and are not using the water for the present.

East night there was a lunge flro here, and something like a million gallons of water was pumped out of the wells. Captain Pim's Scheme. Toronto, December 17.

John's Koman Catholic Orphan Asylum in Brooklyn with ice, and they presented a weired spectacle to-dny. Firemen remained at the scene, all night, and at the first break of day began to dig in the ruins for iKidies, although the mnnaTrs of the institution thought no bodies wero in the building. Foreman McGroaty, of Engine No. 4, who had Neon an unknown woman fall back into the flames from the roof Inst night, believed that many bad perished. The men had been at work only a few minutes handling their shovels with benumbed finders when tho thighbone of a child was thrown up in a shovelful of cinders from under the burned infirmary.

Quickly afterward lot of other lxines nnd charred remains of bodies were found heaped together. Closer inspection distinguished tho remains of seven cutidren nnd an adult, Indieved to bo tho woman who fell from tho roof last night. Soon the remains of two other boys were found, making ten bodies discovered. Tho clothing, and in most cases nearly nil tho were burned nnd none of them recognizable. The bodies of the children found belonged to those who wo under tho car of Sister Mary Josephine iu tho Infirmary.

All these children were suffering from sore eyes. When the (irebroko out, Sister Josephine first ran to tho dour, and a number of the children followed hr and stiu'ted dtfwu stairs. It is believed that it was these who perished. Several of the others were rescued from tho windows. Tho unfortunate Sister Josephine, having lost all control over the children under her control, nnd her semi -blindness intensified by tho clouds of smoke that filled tho Htairways ami rooms, rushed for safety to the roof, where she appeared in the midst of flame and smoke, calling loudly on spectators for help.

A fireman, lying prono on the roof of the main build- I log, to swing his overcoat to the Imperiled Sister. The first, nnd second attempts were unsuccessful, the end of the coat falling short, lie swung the coat a third time, and its edge just touched tho building's roof. The Sister sprang a nd grasped it. and for a moment it seemed as if her life was saved, and the crowd cheered lustily. Only for a moment she swung in the air between the two buildings; then her grasp relaxed, and she fell to the ground, dying soon afterward.

A boy and woman wero now seen on tho roof of tho burning building. Three men placed a ladder against tho wnll. but the ladder did not reach within five feet of the roof. One of the men mounted tho ladder, and tho little fellow leaped into his arms and was paved. Tho woman looked to the-bottom of tho ladder aud then to the flames gradually encroaching.

Tho bystanders yelled to her to keep her courage up. She looked into tho burning building as if fascinated by the fire, and commenced edging away from the lnd-der. Suddenly flames shot up beneath her feet, and, with a cry of agony, she fell backward into the blazing mass. With a crash the roof fell afterward, and soon the entire building was a mass of flames. Sister Josephine, a few days ago, with her married sisters living in Troy, N.

visited her fnther, eighty-four years old, who recently came from Ireland to see his children. The remains of the woman found aro those of Mary McCarren, widow, who was visiting her son. Both perished. So far thirteeu bodies have been recovered. County Infirmary Destroyed.

Dltuoit, December PL The Ln-peer County Boor-house, situated about two miles from the city of Lapeer, was entirely destroyed by fire last night. There wero thirty-seven inmates in the building, nnd all were saved except an aged insane woman named Biriha Rockwell, who rushed back into the burning building after being taken out, and nothing of her remained after the fire but a few bones. Another insane woman named Phodie Sai- l'sbury escaped from her keepers du -ing the excitement and, clad only iu her nightgown, ran two miles into the country before she could be recaptured. She is badly frozen, the thermometer indicating below y.ero at the time. The condition of the surviving inmates is truly pitiable, but their temporary wants are being supplied as well as the neighbors cau attend to them, and it is expectod the Supervisors will take immediate steps to provide for tho poor unfortunates.

An Explanatory Argument Concerning Their Origin. 1 Tlio rod sunst'ts which were so conspicuous a yoar ago hiive excited this autumn great attention in both hemispheres.

Tho various theories propounded to account for the phenomenon, especially that which attributed the sky to vast cloud of volcanic dust discharged at tlio eruption otHrakatoa iu August, 1S, seems to have lost ground, nnd some new hypothesis is needed to clear up tho mystery. The Knglish astronomer Air. Backhouse reports in Sulnre his observations of a red corona round tho mm, which, ho says, "is still plainly in England." "It has been habitual," he adds, "fur me to scan tin; neighborhood of the sun for halos during tu'en-ty-live years, 1 never observed it, previous to Iho dato Tho reddish halo to which Mr. Backhouse has called attention has been this fall noticed by several observers. An Knglish scientist, Mr.

K. Doiighis Archibald, visiting the summit of Mount, Washington on September Olh, ut sunrise, noted, "in addition to the usual sunrise ofVeets, a large circle of rosy purplehazo situated about fifteen degrees above tho horizon, nnd apparently having no eonueotion with the yellow ami red horizontal bands beneath it." Though this obserrer had witnessed tho sun rising from various altitudes up to twelve thousand feel, he had never s(H'n anything so curious as the sunrise ou Mount Washington. His suggestion is that the rosy bolar halo has of late become conspicuous because, while the sunrise and sunset glows have exhibited a marked deelino in duration and brilliancy since the halo has undergone no similar diminution of intensity, and thus attracts more attention relatively than it did at hrst. This explanation of tho recent glows appears to be satUfaotoi-y ns far as it goes; but astronomers will haw to explain why, if the phenomenon i.s due to terrestrial dust floating in the upper atmosphere, it has been so rarely recorded in the history of their science.

1. Jhralri. Ill-Brad Smokers. There is no one thing, perhaps, in which the difference between tlio well-bred man and tho ill-bred man more appears than in the manner in which, the place where, and the time when they smoke. The well-bred man does not smoke, nor docs ho seem to siaokfc to show off; whereas tho ill-bred mail very often smokes in a self-conseious manner that seems to say: "Look at me! see how skillfully my lips hold this cigar; how 1 can shift it from one sidu to the other without touching it wiih in lingers, mid how I can articulate wuh it iu my mouth; iu short, look Jt)ii what perfect control 1 have over labial muscles, and, having seen, admire!" In short, there are many lowbred young men very many that, up-pear to smoke only" to display their imagined grace and skill; when, iu fact, in snicking as they do, wiero thev do, and when they do, tliey but publisii their vulgarity.

The well-bred man, on the contrary, tho gentleman, tho man that smokes only for tho lovo of it, puts but as much of his cigar hi Ins mouth as Is necessary in order tvdinw it, keeps it iii his month no longer than is necessary, and iiever failJ to rcmo it when he talks or passes any one to whom he would be respectful, especially a lady.
