Sunday was spent by the aged Pontrlil' in a continuous state of coma. During the night he rested only at short intervals. To-day the Weather was dull and heavy and the sky was overcase. Early in the mornings since the Pope's illness people have gathered before his window to gather an omen from Ceutra's face as he openâ€" ed the shutters. This morning he did not appear ,at the usual time and a rumor flow around that the Pope was dead. He had, how‘ever, merely suffered from a cardiac attack, from which he rallied. Dr. Lapponi succeeded in having him swallow several tea- spoonfuls of coffee, milk and brandy mixed. The silence of the sick room was occasionally broken by a hacking cough, due. to the gathering of phlegni in Pope Leo's throat. These coughing spells had the eflect of rousing the Pontiff, causing him to open his eyes and revive slightly. At 11.40 am. there was great alarm at the Vatican, as the Pope was suffering from a grave increase of cardiac affection. Dr. anponi really thought the .end had arrived, and Cardinal Scrufan Vannutelli, the grand penitentiary, began the prayers for the dying and gave the Pontif‘f absolution in articulo mortis. His death was considered so immin- ent that all the cardinals were pres- ent and the members of the diplo- matic corps were admitted to the sick room. HANDED OVER REINS. When, durimg the alarming crisis, about noon, he was lying on his bed penfo.«tly motionless, while around him kmelt fllue C-avdinals and other ‘ mcnrbcis of the Papal Court, pray- ing and not knowing whether the Pope was not already dead without any preliminary restlessness, tnhe 'P-onitiif‘f opened his eyes, which fell cm Calrd-inal Orreglia, who was at his side, and he said solemnly. your Eminence, who will so soon seize the reins of supreme power, I confide the Church in tihese difficult times.” Then Monsignor Bisletti, the M-as- tor of the Chamber, asked for the Pope's benediction for the court, which the Pontif‘l grran'ted, adding, "These my last greetings." Then the Pontiff gave his hand to kiss to the canid‘imals present, who were Oreglia, Ramqiolla, Serajfino Vannutelli. Volpo and Vivcs Y T.u.tro. .Dr. Lapponi profited by the Pope's animation to administer restora- tives, whereupon the patient sank bank as suddenly as he had rev‘ivdd. The words the Pope addressed to Dardinal Oreglia were his last utterâ€"l a'noe, the last supreme efl‘ort of tfliatl intelligence which has astonisihod the world. They are much commieutedl upon, and it is wonderful w.‘hether the intention of Leo XIII. was to iildicate Car‘dinal Oreglin as his sucâ€" cessor. They will certainly have considerable weight in the decision of the. cardinals who will take part in the co‘nclave. At '4 p. m. the Pope had lost all- consciousness. For two hours telegraphic corn- .‘z-unication with Home was suspend- ed. Owing to the strained relations between té‘he Quirinal and the Vati- can the Italian Govennuient deter- mined some time since to lease to “To. parent at the pit head, and nothing was known until the cage. Was run up and frightened Chinanien reached the top, when they excitedly told of a fire. Thirty-eight out of the fifty Chinamen employed underground reached the top in safety, and then a white rescue. party went down to search for the others. The dead bodies of the dozen were reached, but not without some danger to the searchers, because of after-damp, which prostrath one pit boss. The colliery company claims that the law prohibiting the employment of the Chinese underground is un- constitutional. _â€"+.__ RAISING THE STANDARD. Normal School Course Will Last One Year. A Toronto despatch says zâ€"Sesâ€" sions of the Ontario Normabschools will heicafter convene on the second Tuesday in September and end the third Friday in June. No one will be admitted as a teacher in trainâ€" ing without at least junior leaving standing and one year of successful exlpurience as a teacher.

Candidates must obtain 40 per cent in each subject of the written and practical examinations, and 00 per cent of the aggregate. Those obtaining 75 per cent of the aggregate will be awarded honors. Those obtaining 50 to 59 per cent. of the aggregate may obtain a limited certificate, valid for three years, and this may be made a life certificate by passing the final examination. Those makâ€" ing less than 50 per cent. must at- tend another session). .â€"__+.__â€" TERRIFIC EXPLOSION. Two Men Killed and Many Seri- ously Injured. A Roanoke, Va., despatch says: By the explosion of a large quantity of dynamite and blasting powder stored in a magazine near Peaisburg on Saturday two men were killed, sixteen were more or less injured and about one hundred others severely shocked. A westbound passenger train on the main line of the Norâ€" folk &' Western was going at full speed past the magazine which stood 200 yards from the track, when the explosion occurred. The windows of the train were broken and not a single person on the train escaped in- jury or shock.

It was feared that several white men were also Victims, but it was afterwards learned that there was only one employed in the mine, and he escaped with nothing Worse than a Shaking. The explosion is attributed to fire- dauip. but its origin is mysterious. as all the miners carried safety lamps. owing to the g‘ussy state of the working, and all the lamps were found to be locked.

The leading feature was the scarcity of good qualities of butchers' cattle, *and the abundant offerings of lower grades of inferior cows that Were not lwantrd by local butchers, and thereâ€" ‘foro almost unsaleable. Buyers here iobject to the farmers upâ€"country unâ€" ‘,loading poorly finished $11th on them while they have, or should have, plenty of posture for at least two ‘or three months yet. Canners and 'low grade cows were much on sale. There was also a dearth of good exporters’ descriptions. and buyers had to go to Chicago to obtain what they wanted. There seems to be plenty of good stuff in the country, but it is not coming here, as holders there are hanging on to their stock in the hope of an advance in prices there before long. There was little enquiry for either feeders or stocks-rs, and the ofl'erings were light, and values about steady. A better tone in sheep prevailed, and all offering were sold early. Calves were firm, but the offerings being fairly liberal no change in their values Was recorded. The run of cattle was not heavy. STATUE TO WASHINGTON It comprised 1,083 cattle, 1,287 sheep, 1,721 hogs, and 69 calves. The most. of the exporters were dis- posed of at from $4.70 to $5 per cwt.
