late Is historic, and alio tha. of. his unfortunate son. The Emperor of Austria, who permitted his brother Maximillian to be a tool of Napoleon, has lived to see his brother shot his own son and heir to commit suicide, and another near relative, the Archduke Orth, lost by wreck off. the American coast. Carlotta, Maximillian'a widow, is insane, and her nephew. Prince Baudouin. comes to an untimely end. Bazaine. French commander in Mexico, only escaped death by becoming a f r.gitive from his coantry. An English naval officer writes, commenting on there facta, and adds: "1 have always been clad that England withdrew at an early stage from the unjustifiable attempt on the liberties of Mexico, I was on that station when Maximillian issued his proclamation in October, 1SC5, dooming to death erery Mexi cancaptnred in arms after that date, under the terms of which proclamation, I understand, many were put to death, and I alwaya believed that auch inhumanity would be followed by a fearful retribution." The Princess Henrietta, sister of the late Prince Boudouin, was informed yesterday evening of her brother's death. At first the news affected the sick Princess in a dangerous manner, but she is improving to-day. .

BIO KOSSUTH BLUNDER?

Charged by Georgt with Beings Responsible for Failure of the Hungarian Revolution. Copyright, by the United Press. London, Jan. 24. The story of the war waged in 1S43 by the Hungarians against Austrians, Croats and Russians has hardly as yet been fully told. Like the Polish struggle of 1831 for independence it is a record of murders due to dissensions among the leaders. Kossuth's story has long been the accepted version. He, as the political enthusiast of the movement, could not work with Georgi. the chief soldier of Hungary, and the disastrous surrender of Tillages was the result. Kossuth, who escaped, charged Georgi with betraying his country.' It now seems to be Georgi's turn lor vindication. General Georgi's brother has just published in Hungarian a detailed ' history of the events of 1S4S and 1S49, which is being largely copied by the press on the continent and in England. From this account it appears that not Georgi but Kossuth was to blame for the disasters of Hungary. Georgi had defeated the Austrians at Go- - doilo and was driving them before him when Kossuth proclaimed the deposition of the house of liapsburg-Lorraine, a measure -which deprived the Hungarians of their constitutional ground, greatly an-' noyed the oflicers of tho army and ultimately brought Kussia Into the Hold jwrainst the Hungarians. Next, when tieorgi ws anxious to push on to Vienna and make the most of his victories. Kossuth recalled him to besiege the citadel of linda, a grave military error. Kossuth was all along suspicious of Georgi and more than once removed him from com maud, putting in his place the incapable Dembinaki, or tbe rash and injudicious Bodem. The later operations, the retreat ' eastward and southward and the final attempt to concentrate at Arad were planned by Kossuth and forced on Georgi against his will. Finally, when capitulation was inevitable, Kossuth in his last interview with Georgi did nothing to dissuade him from it. lint when Georgi had kept his word and wan a prisoner Kossuth, who got safe away to Widdin, issued a proclamation in which be accused Georgi of having betrayed his coantry and his companions in arms. Kossuth's reply to this attack upon his conduct of the Hungarian revolution is awaited with interest. TIIK KOC1I TREATMENT. Interest in the Remedy Abating in Germany Experiment on Tuberculoid Cows. I CopytfgLt. 1331, by tlie New York Press. Berlin, Jan. 24. Interest in the Koch treatment i abating. vAn English bacteriologist, who is notable as the discoverer of toxal bamens, and who is now studying the Koch method at the Hygienio Institute, announces that he has discovered a remedy for anthrax. Pofessor Bollinger, of Munich, reports the results of his experiments with the lymph upon tuberculous cows. He states that in cases where large injections were used a reaction similar to that noticed in human beings was seen. Two sound bulls, which were treated with the lluid. showed no reaction, and upon being killed their tissues were found to be in a normal condition. Frof. Bollinger concludes that the highest value of tbe lymph is to be found in the diagnosis of cattio suspected of having tuberculosis dise3s. Th Ministers are soil delaying the presentation to the Landtag of a bill for the endowment by tbe government of a hospital for the treatment of patients by the Koch method. In the opiuion of many medical men the exact value of the remedy is doubtful, and this causes the goverment to pause before taking decided action. STIPENDS OF riUESTS. Debate In the Prussian Diet on. a Proposal to Give 16,000,000 Marks to Catholics. Coprrlgbt, 1891, bj the New York Associated Frsss. Berlin. Jan. 24. The lower house of the Prussian Diet to-day commenced the debate upon the government bill for the restitution of the stipends of Catholic priests whicii were confiscated during the period of the Knlterkamuf. Chancellor Von Caprivi etated that the government hoped the bill would reconcile tlie opponents of last year's measure which partly dealt with a similar ouestion. lie protested against the reproaches leveled at the government for having bargained for the support of the Center party and asked the House to conaider the bill purely ca its merits and as a necessary measure of long delayed justice. Dr. Cany, National Liberal, contended that the bill was a political move by the government to gain voes for the Center party, lie said it was a complete overturn of the former policy of the government to hand over 16,(00.000 marks for distribution among the clericals. Dr. Von Gossler, Prussian Minister of Ecclesiastical A flairs, defended the plan of restitution. The direct payment of the accumulated capital to the priests interested was, he said, impossible, and a pro rata distribution to the dioceses of the amount couti seated would be the most direct method, while the fact that the commission of supervision was composed of priests and laymen ought to be a guarantee of the fairness of tbe restitution. So far as the debate progressed the National Liberals and Conservatives were k'roupd against the bill andtheCenterand I'reissininge parties ia its favor. The Ministers do not fear that the measure will be defeated, relying upon the defection of a number of the opposition. The ! Go rye in th Mohawk. UTICA, N. Y., Jan. 24.

WATCHING THE IRISH PARTY

Lord Salisbury Will Await Developments Before Dissolving Parliament Election of Mr. Fnrness to Be Contested on tbe Ground That He Corrupted Voters Demise of the McCarthy ite Oman. ENGLISH AND IRISH POLITICS. Gossip About Parliament The Irish Party and the Hartlepool Election. Copyright, 1631. bj the United Press.! Loxdok, Jan. 24. The rumors of an imminent dissolution of Parliament which have been current in the last few days have led to inquiries being made at Conservative headquarters by many of the local organizations. In each caso tbe reply has been that the particular reports referred to were without foundation, bat in no case has any definite assertion beeu forthcoming that such a step is not in contemplation by the government. On the contrary, hints are freely given that it is aa well to be prepared for all contingencies. There is no doubt that Lord Salisbury and his colleagues are keenly watching the development of political events, especially as regards the unity of the Irish party. As a matter of general tactics, a general election in the autumn would suit the government better than such an election at the present time, but their decision would be largely influenced by the prospect of an amicable arrangement of the Irish differences. Should Mr. Parnell decide to ' retire it would become . a question whether from a party point of view it would not be better to challenge tbe judgement of the constituencies while recent events are fresh in the publio mind than to wait until they have passed into oblivion. That it would be so is certainly the opinion of some of the most influential supports of the government. In no responsible quarter is there now any serious expectation that the Parliament can outlive the present year, and as it is a question only of a few months later or earlier every small consideration may be beside the issue. The Unionists do not propose to accept tamely the result of the Hartlepool election. Sir William Gray, the defeated candidate, is beside himself with rage and disappointment. He almost owns the town, and is amazed that his workingmen should have dared to vote for the other man. He is really a good employer; but his employes being mostly Liberals, elected Fnrness on principle, it is now claimed that Fnrness promised, in the event of his election, to discharge the non-union men in his employ j and put union men in their places. If this can be proved Fnrness will be thrown out under the corrupt practices act and the seat go to Gray after aiL In England candidates cannot be too careful, as they are responsible for the acts even of their agents, of which they may be entirely ignorant, and tbe result is not a new election, but the seating of the other candidate if the latter' a skirts are clear. But whether Furness loses his place or not the Hartlepool election carries its lesson, the most significant since 1S8G. It shows that the dissenting Liberal movement has spent its force and that English Liberals will no longer permit their views on the Irish question to stand in tbe way of the great reforms to be achieved by party unity in England. English Liberal sentiment is in favor of giving the Irish a chance and letting them work out their own salvation or extermination, whichever it may be. The Kilkenny cat stories and illustrations have fallen on deaf ears; the Liberals propose to get rid of the Irish question by letting the Irish question take care of itself. There is ground for believing that before the next general election Mr. Gladstone will formulate his scheme of home rule, and it will be far-reaching in its scope, handing over the constabulary and the land question to an Irish Parliament, upon that Parliament depending whether, harmony will prevail, and the rights of the Protestant minority be respected, or whether anarchy will - demand the renewed interference of Great Britain and the final overthrow of Ireland's hopes. The Marquis of Hartington, in reply to inquiries concerning the contradiction between the views of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Derby and other Unionists as to whether home rule is dead, writes to-day: "The contradiction is more apparent than real. Home rule may be dead as a practical Policy and as far as it ever possessed any chance of the country accepting it in definite form. But the political necessity to specially retain the Irish Nationalists' support may compel Mr. Gladstone'6 followers for a long time to come to include it in their policy." Lord Derby writes: "My speech was intended to warn Unionists against being unduly sanguine or relaxing their exertions." The Irish Catholic of Dublin is impatient and demands full disclosures as to what took place at the Boulogne and Paris conferences. It credits Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien with the noblest of motives, saying that it knows they accepted no settlement nor have they acknowledged Mr. Parnell's leadership. It says it is necessary they ehould make a prompt declaration as1 to what took place. The formation of the new national organization, which is to replace tbe discredited National League, adds the Irish Catholic, is nearly concluded. The Insuppressible, the nowspaper started in Dublin as a rival of United Ireland, and upon the supposition that Mr. Wni. O'Brien would assume editorial control of its columns, has stopped publication. It is believed that Mr. O'Brien's telegraph message yesterday from Boulogno to the publishers of tbe Insuppressible requesting that his name be no longer used in connection with that newspaper, was the reason which brought about a collapse of the enterprise referred to. " The Iusuppressible, in its last issue, announces that a report is current that arrangements were made at the recent conference in Boulogne-sur-Mer for Mr. Parnell and Mr. O'Brien to go to America for tbo purpose of collecting funds for the relief of the people who have been evicted from their homes, Mr. Dillon, during the absence of Messrs. Parnell and O'Brien, to act as leader of the Irish party. The paper adds, however, that it doubts the truth of this report. Messrs. Justin McCarthy and Thomas Sexton, who recently went to Boulogne-sur-Mer to confer with Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon, returned to London to-day. When interviewed in regard to the meeting Mr. McCarthy said that the conference bad passed oil smoothly and that he had great hopes of a speedy and amicable settlement of the existing troubles in the Irish party. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Business In Chili Paralyzed by the Rerolntlon Insurgents Gaining Strength. Buenos Ayhes, Jan. 24. News has been received from Valparaiso that a conference between President Balmaceda and the Chilian Deputies has taken place. Many people believed that the President would take advantage of this meeting to tender his resignation. He did not do so, however, and the conference had no result. Meanwhile the insurgents continue to gain strength and confidence. The workmen employed on the factories in and about Valparaiso are joining the insurgent forces in large numbers. The tide of sympathy seems to be with the rebels. Regular railroad traflic is at a stand-still.Jand in many places tbe insurgents have temporarily topped the running of trains by tearing the rails up. In some places tbey have also destroyed the railroad embankment. Business is in a state of paralysis. The government has declared the large towns to be in a state of siege. Onr Tariff Does Not Hurt France. Paris, Jan. 24. During the course of an interview, a few days ago, Mr. King, tbe American 'consul-general here, said that the opposition in France to tho McKinley tariff act was decreasing. A number of manufacturers in this country, and importers in tbe United States, hurried up the export trade here six months ago,' so that a large amount of goods reached tbe United States before the McKinley act went into euect. This, said tbe consul-general, accounts for the decrease in consular business noticed for the early season of tho

year. "Now, at this and some of the other consulates' said Mr. King, "more business has been done than dnring tbe corresponding period of lKW." The McKinley tariff, according to Consul-general King, has not hurt French trade. The exports to the United States, he says, are gret than ever before. This, he adds, is especially the the case as regards the 'goods manufactured at St. Etienne and Lyons. Disaster in a German Colliery.

While a number of men were employed on the railroad at Mantua, near Bauer?, France, an avalanche fell upon them, burying several of the workmen ana injuring three of them so severely that their recovery is doubtful. ChancelorVon Caprivi has submitted to tho Emperor reports showing that Damaraland is worthless to Germany and ought to be ceded to England in exchange for land in Africa more favorable to German development. The Novoe Vremya announces that the Russian Senate has decided that Hebrews are not entitled to hold or acquire real estate beyond live versts from the district or provincial courts, or within the boundary of a town wherein they were registered before August, 1873. The engineers who have been engaged In tho attemrtto clear the river Seine of the huge blocks of ice with which it is packed have been using dynamite with considerable success In their work. Yesterday, a dynamite cartridge was exploded prematurely, killing one of the engineers. The Socialists have introduced in the German Reichstag a bill providing that the state shall take charge of the manufacture of drugs and medicines. The bill is founded on the claim that it is the duty of the state'since passing the workmen's insurance bill to supply remedies at cost price. Mr. William Walter Phelps, the American minister, and Mrs. Phelps and all the members of the legation were present last night at the ball given at Berlin by General Von Verzen to the oflicers of the Third Army Corps. Fourteen general and two hundred other oflicers were also present. The members of the legation were the only guests outside of the corps. ' .?

The Second Regiment returned to Omaha and the Seventeenth Infantry to Cheyenne this morning. Colonel Heyl, inspector-general, with Colonel Henry and a corps of engineers, left this morning to make a snrvey of the Wounded Knee battle-field on the 80th of last December. It was in this battle, it is claimed, that Colonel Foray the transcended his instructions in going be yond the mission.

All persons not regularly employed about tbe agency have been ordered to leave the reservation. General Miles is holding daily talks with Indian chiefs with a view to selecting ten of them to go to Washington. The sick and wounded of the Seventh Cavalry were forwarded to Kushville, whence they will travel with their regiment to Fort Kiley. They are victims of the Wounded Knee fight.

The telegram was shown to the President, and a disp atch was rent to General Miles Inquiring whether or not the outrage was committed on a government reservation, and whether the assailants are members of any State organization. The object of this is to determine the question of jurisdiction. Not the Equitable Life, New York, Jan. 24. A dispatch sent out in report on the 21st stating that the New York Equitable lire Insurance Company tad begun proceedings in the Supreme Court for voluntary dissolution, has been widely printed with the word "Fire" omitted, and has been taken as referring to the Equitable Life Association of this city.

KAKSAS SENATORIAL FIGHT

Mr. Iugalls Arrives at Topeka and Announces He Is Alter Another Term, . Speech in Ilis Favor by Col. Livingston Secret Caucus of Farmers Fruitless Ballots in Illinois Bribery in South Dakota. Topeka, Kan., Jan. 24. A mass-meeting was held to-night in the interest of Senator Ingalls's re-election to the Senate. Several prominent Kansans spoke in favor of Mr. Ingalls's re-election, as did also Colonel Livingston, president of the New York State Farmers' Alliance. He denounced tbe Kansas Alliance ai being dominated by the Southern branch of tbe organization, which, he said, hoped to gain control of the national government and repeal all past pension legislation.' Then Mr. Ingalls was brought before the meeting. He was given an ovation. He said the time for his speech-making had passed and that the battle was sow on. He was not here to deliver speeches, he said. He had another errand and another mission, and that was to be returned for the fourth term to the United States Senate. Cries of "You are going back." Nobody could predict the result of the coming election in tbe Legislature, but he confidently hoped for success. Continuing he said: "I am profoundly grateful to the G. A. R. for their presence here. Whether I am defeated or elected, whenever they may be assailed, no matter what may be the forum, no matter who may be their adversary, I shall respond to the challenge of the insolent opposition to the Grand Army of the Republic. Should 1 go down I shall hope that there is not a maimed or crippled soldier who shall not feel that he has lost a defender." The first caucus of the Farmers' Alliance members of the Legislature on the senatorial question proper was held to-night. It was governed by the rules of the Farmers' Alliance, aud was strictly a star-chamber session. Members were pledged to secrecy, and little can be learned of the proceedings. The Alliance seantorial can-' jdidatejs were called before the caucus one by one and were permitted to give an account of their accompiishnientsaud qualifications, which they thought would entitle them to tbe honor of succeeding Mr. Ingalls. Before the candidate waspermitted to even address the, caucus he was obliged to bind himself by oath to abide by the decision of the caucus and i not bolt the nomination. This leads to the conclusion that the caucus nominee will receive a full party vote. All the candidates were on hand to-night that is. all who were Alliance men and who were not ruled out at the caucus of last Thursday. The ineligibles are the Alliance Congressmen-elect and those members of the Alliance who have joined the organization since tbe recent election, and who did not contribute to the Alliance victory on that occasion. This rules out Jerry Simpson, Congressman - elect from the Seventh, the most popular man with the rank and hie of the Alliance, and John Davis, Congressman-elect from the Fifth district: Col. W. A. Harris, the ex-confederate from Leavenworth; Gen. C. W. Blair, a Democrat; ex-Go v. John P. St John, and two or three others less prominent. The candidates who appeared before the caucus and pressed their claims were: Speaker Elder, of the lower house;. Judge Pefter, editor of the Alliance Advocate; Judge Doster, judge of the District Court at llolton; John F. Willitts, Alliance candidate for Governor at the late election; 8.M. Scott, a farmer; C. M. Scott. State lecturer; Frank McGrath. president of the State Alliance, and Judge Hiram Stevens, of Kansas City, Kan., who made a vigorous campaign against Senator Ingalls at the election, and Rev. A. J. Cole, Representa tive from tbe Hutchinson district. No nomination had been made at mid night, and the proceedings at that time were kept secret. ACTION OF TIIE LEGISLATURE. Topeka, Jan. 24. The committee to which was referred the memorial from Lincoln Post, O. A. 11, of Topeka, praying for the re-election of Mr. Ingalls to the United States senate, submitted its report to-day. The committee was composed of three Alliance members, all old soldiers. The committee recommended that the memorial be spread on the record, but made an adverse report on the prayer of the petition ers. The report wan adopted, all Alliance members voting in the alternative. It transpires now that the thirteen who voted with the Repub licans yesterday do not favor Mr. Injralls's re election, but voted as they did yesterday because they thought the reference of the memorial to a committee was disrespect! nl to the veteran petitioners. As an offset to the petition In favor of Mr. Ingalls, a number of old soldiers to-day presented a petition condemning the Senator, and. begging the Legislature to elect In his place an Alliance candidate. Tbe memorial was spread upon the record without debate. Frnitless Ballots In Illinois. Springfield, III, Jan. 24. The leaders of the two political parties succeeded in keeping their full membership in the city, to-day, although there were countless rumors last night about members having' escaped to their homes on late ont-going trains. Tbe first ballot showed no change from previous votes Palmer, 101; Oglesby, 100; Strecter, 3. The balloting continued without interruption and without change. When the eighth ballot of the session, or the twentieth since the beginning, was had there was a general feeling of restlessness throughout the Assembly, and it was with difficulty that the steering committees restrained certain members from going to dinner. There were negotiations on behalf of Democrats for an adjournment, but the Republicans stood firm in the determination that the motion should come from the Democratic party. The F. M. B. A. men assumed tbe same position, and the Democrats were in a somewhat embarrassing position. The ninth and tenth ballots showed no change, and the eleventh was ordered. Before the roll-call began Mr. Evans, a Republican, who desired to go home to his sick wife, moved to adjourn. There were cries ol no" from both sides, but on a viva voce the Speaker declared the motion carried. It is said the Democrats are seeking a pair for Mr. Adams, who will have to undergo a surgical operation. His physician says he must have one eye taken out if his life is to be saved. The Republicans have not consented to the pair, and none will probably be granted. Chairman Jones, of the State committee, advised the party manager to keep their own ranks intaot and avoid bargains of any kind. Bribery in South Dakato. Pierre, 8. D., Jan. 24. At the afternoon session of the Ilouse, In voting on the Davison county election contest, sensational bribery charges were made. Representative Converse tlrst announced that he had been threatened with the defeat of a bill in which he was interested if he did not vote a certain way. Mr. Kelly then 6tated that there were other influences at work; that he had been offered $1,000 to vote for Moody for senator, and would disclose the name of the person to the proper committee. This created a decided sensation. Mr. 11 uchanan demanded the name. Mr. Hall said he had been ottered a bribe of $l,uoobya prominent Democrat to keep out of the Republican caucuses, and could produce witnesses to the same. The committee on bribery announced tnat their report would be ready at the next session, and the tlrst one of the contenting independents was seated. Other contests will be decided to-morrow. The cbarges of bribery made to-day were ordered referred to tbe committee appointed earlier in the week to investigate similar charges. Two ballots were cast in joint waaion at noon, the last reultliiK: Moody. 77; Tripp. 25; Harden, -i; Kyle, 16; Crose, 13; Seward, 4; Preston, 3: Scott, 2; Picklcr, Mathews, Mclntyre. Cory. Cooper, Conand and Campbell, 1 each. The deciiou of the first of the live Lawrence county contests against the flitting Republican members is a decided defeat for Moody.

In the Ilouse of Representatives to-day Mr. Leigh, a Republican member from Lawrence county, introduced a resolution, which was adopted, thanking the Illinois Legislature for refusing to table a resolution Instructing the Illinois Senators to vote against tlie "force' bill. The resolution also commits Alabama against considering any appropriation for an exhibit at the world's fair if the "force" bill becomes a law.

Used in Millions of Homes WROUGHT FATAL FIBES AT JERSEY CITY One Man Burned to Death, Two Killed and Several Firemen Badly Hurt. Terrific Explosion of Turpentine in a CellarChief Fire Engineer Among the Dead Stoker Mangled at a Grade Crossing. Jersey City, N. J., Jan. 24. A lamp ex ploded in the cellar of the live-story frame tenement-house, corner of Greene and Essex streets, this afternoon, and set tire to the buildings, and the occupants had to be taken down on ladders hoisted by the tiremen. Mrs. uorman toia tne nremen xna? her husband was asleep in an apartment on the top floor. The flames had reached this floor, and when the firemen went back for the man they found him lying on the floor dead. He had been burned almost to a crisp. Another fatal fire occurred in Jersey City this evening, and resulted in the killing of Chief Engineer Henry Farrier and Daniel Din an, stoker of No. 3 engine, and in serious injuries to several other firemen. The fire broke out in the cellar of Charles Boltwood's hardware store, No. SO Paronia avenue, corner of Grove street. The fire men got their hose at work and fought their way into the cellar, when a tertifio explosion occurred. Two barrels) of turpentine had exploded with force enough to shatter the plate-glass windows on both sides of the street and to shake the buildings in the vicinity. There were several nremen in tbe cellar when the explosion occurred, and it was feared that all of them had been killed. A cheer went up from the crowd as truckman Michael Whalen was seen to emerge to the street, carrying an unconscious comrade on his back. The injured man proved to be hoseman John McDonald, lie was badly burned about the head, face and hands, and is thought to have inhaled lire. He was removed to a hospital, where his condition was pronounced extremelv critical. 1 ruckman Whalen was badly scorched about the bands and face. He was assisted to the truck-house, but was Subsequently taken to his home. Assistant Chief bn gineer John Denmead and hoseman John Farrell were aiso scorched and cut by flying glass. The tire was finally drowned out alter slight damage. Chief Encmeer Farrier was missed, and Assistant Denmead ordered the celler to be searched, aud a dozen firemen hurried inside with lanterns. In the further end of the cellar, and partly concealed by a large case that had fallen upon him, lay the Chiefs body. V Hung hands picked him up and carried him to a stable on I'avonia avenue. Doctors were summoned, but were unable to rosucitate him. Death had been caused by saflbcation. The skin had been burned from tbe backs of tbe dead man's hands and the hair from his head, but be yond these he was little injured. The features were not marred, lhe remains were removed to the Chiefs late home. In the meantime another ghastly tragedy had been enacted at the Barrow-street crossing of the Pennsylvania railroad. As No. 3 engine and tender turned into Barrowstreet, Dingier, the engineer, says that he noticed the flagman on the railroad crossing waving his lantern, but could not understand his signals. Stoker Dinan evidently understood that the track was clear, as he- whipped np his team. As he reached the east-bound track he saw a train bearing down upon him, but was unable either to ston or to avoid it. The train was an incoming Flor ida special, and the locomotive struck the team and the forward part of the fire-engine.. Dinan was thrown under the wheels of tbe train and mansled to nieces. His head was severed and was found three hundred feet east of the crossing. The fireengine was wrecked. One of the horses was killed outright, lhe legs of the other horse were broken and it was shot. Dinan's body was removed to tbe morgue. Mrs. Mary fcheed, a colored woman, who was standing at the railroad crossing, was struck in the head by a flying piece of iron and was badly hurt. Chief Farrier leaves a widow, three sons and a daughter. Driver John Kiddle, who drove the chief's gig to the fire, was in Bo It wood's cellar when the explosion occurred. He says the fire was apparently out, when Chief Farrier saw sparks smoldering on a rafter. He brushed them off with his hand, and an ember fell upon a case of turpentine. Then came the explosion. Kiddle was stunned. and when be recovered he looked for the chief and started the search for him. On tbe chiefs body were found a medal awarded him by P. Lorillard and a jeweled iocaet presented to mm by t rank Stevens for the brave rescue of a feeble old woman at a down-town fire in 1S89. Marion Stove-Works Destroyed.

Now, was not this a remarkable structure for our travelers to find in the wilderneesT There were unmistakable proofs, too. of its having been inhabited, and by savages, undoubtedly of a very ancient day. On examining the dwelling and remnants of others (for the discoverers found only one perfect one), these wise men decided is must have been at one time the bony covering of some animal of the armadillo family. Further research and study convinced them they had found, not only a perfect armor of the glyptodon, the gigantic armadillo of prehistoric times, but, wh&t was still more wonderful, that this armor, abandoned by its original wearer, had become, probably, the very first habitation of man. The only perfect one of these dwellings cow known to be in existence is in the possession of the French government, and is kept in the Jardin des Vlantes, in Paris. For Twine, 872,000. St Nicholas.

This is wholly wrong, for even in the smallest otfices the letters and cards are all gathered face upward and tied into a neat package. The government furnishes the twine to do this, and soma idea of the immensity of tbe postal servico can be formed from the fact that in one year the cost to the government of the twine for this purpose, which, though etronsr. is of the cheapest quality, was nearly $72.000.

In perfect faith, its makers, the World's Dispensary Medical Association of Buffalo, N. Y., offers to pay $500 to any one suffering from chronic catarrh in the head whom they cannot cure. Now if the conditions were reversed if they asked you to pay $500 for a positive curd you might hesitate. Here are reputable men, with years of honorable dealing; thousands of 'dollars and a great name back of them and they say "We can cure you because we've cured thousands like you if we can't we'll pay you $500 for the knowledge that there's one whom we can't cure." They believe in themselves. Isn't it worth a trial? .Isn't any trial preferable to catarrh?
