He is 68 years old, and has been in the employ of the company for lfi yean. He lived with bis .wife and daughter, at No. 11 Bishop oourt. He was always considered a steady, hard working man, and j oeseesed the entire confidence of the company. He had full control of all reoeipt» and disbursements, bat to avoid ar.y possibility of embezzlement, as the company thought, all cheoks were countersigned by the president FEARS OF MORE BLOODSHED AT HARBOR GRACE. Hew Haves, Dec. 86.—There was a serious aanio last evening at Bunnell's museum. ■The au.lience was a large one, packing the iiuuse in evoi y part, including many ladies in I chi ilieu. An intoxicated man, who sat in the rear of the bouse, created a disturbance and was being ejected, when some one itartod a cry of fire. Tlie audionc* became slarmed, auJ in a moment a panic becdine inevitable. Men rose from their seats and screamed, while children cried and women in their fear fell in a faint. The alarm became general an I there was a rush for the exits, many moving towards the stage and leaping Into the orchestra. It was the usual scene enacted in a panic—the men losing., their heada and each seeking only' his own safety, The Utronger puslud on regardless of the piteous appeals of the weaker in the race forf reedom from" danger. When the excitement was* at its height Dale Armstrong, one of the employes, pushed his way to the middle of the housa and in a load tone of voice exclaimed: "Keep your seats; there is no fire an 1 no cause foi1 alarm."

Stevens has not fbeen found, but- since the investigation begun, many irregularities have been revealed and the officer* of. the company have had their eyas opened to the true character of the" trusted cashier. They Mways looked upon him as an unysually honest and up right man. Bo far as they' knew, he had no vioes. He lived in a plain, inex'p nsive style, walked to and from his business in ,Qrder to save oar fare, and was exceedingly penurious.

There was no happier or more prosperous community in the worhl. About that time Bishop Mc- Donald invited Catholic missionaries to hold revival services here. In arousing the z;al of their owd people they also raised the ire of tlie Protestant, whose religion they denounced in most insulting language. Bjtli Catholics and- Protestants are very ignorant and of course intensely bigoted. Tlie Protestanls began patty annoyances to in lividual Catholics. One Catholic was'set upon and beaten wbile returning from a revival lujetlm;. This greatly enraged the Catholics. The Orangemen being away to the Labrador fisheries last year on St Stephen's day they had only 300 members in the Harbor Grace distriot These reassuring words had no perceptible effect at first and for nearly two minutes pandemonium prevailed. In* the midst of the excitement a newsboy leaped from' the gallery, sustaining slight injuries, and the shrfeks of women, crying of children and the hoarse utterancos of men made the scene one of horror. The manager and' Mrs. Holly-Wood advanced to the front of the stage an 1 -made herculeaa efforts 11 be heard. They gesticulated, called for order and finally mada themselves heard. Tlio.v issured the panicstricken audience that there was positively no fire, and tlias the false alarm had been started by an indiscreet spectator. This quieted the au.lience in a measure, and after a few moments of awful suspense quiet was restored, broken only by an occasional hysterloil laugh from some of the ladies whosj fright had nearly crazed them.
