The capacity for accommodating spectators is equal to that of any other rink in town and it was so full that there was not even standing room. The gentlemen seemed to me, when buildtnjr to be somewhat discouraged, but now I would like to ask them if thev cannot smile at their success. Men of business will succeed ; not saying that Mr Land is not a business man, but JSlr. Jackson has heretofore proven his business ability and has always been successful. Success to the Alpine !

Two Buildinga iu New York Fall Iu, Bury ing the Occupants Iteneath the Kuliiv A List of the Dead and Wounded. New Yobs, Nov. 9. Early this morning a three-story tenement house at the corner of South Fifth avenue and Grand street fell in, burying the occupants in the ruins. The Fire Department, up to 9 o'clock, with the assistance of citizens, extricated five victims, two dead and the others seriously injured. How many were in the building at the time of the accident is not known. The removal of the debris is being pushed with all speed. ine ground noor ot the building was oc cupied as a store, "and the upper portion by tenants. Mary Bolds and John Rudolph, with his four children, were taken out of the rum slightly injured, and Mary Saville, probably fatallN iniuieu. All were M?nt to the Hos pital. The firemen have taken out the dead bodies of Frances Knau p and son. Cat har ne Bader was also taken out fatally injured. The whole Fire Department is exploring the ruins. The building was a three-story brick struc ture, witn an attic It was owned bv O'Brien, who kept a liquor sion loon the ground floor. Two years ago he put up an extension without strengthening the found ations, and this proved too much height for the under-structure. Up to 11 o clock five dead bodies have been taken from the ruins. They were Mrs. Frances Kuaup and her son, Mrs. John Rudolph and two others whose names coula not be learned. As the work of clearing away the wreck of the fallen house proceeds", the accident swells to the proportions of a terrible calam ity. 1 wo houses fell. rb-y were old, built ol brick, and three stories high. The names of the dead and wounded, so far as can be learned, are as follows: Mr. Hill, who occu pied the first door, severely injured; his wile and three children are vet in ihe ruins. A woman, believed to be Mrs. Hill, was heard speaking underneath the ruin?, Sue hojved she would be taken out alive. Mrs. Hader and her sons occupied the fecund floor. The mother and one son escaed with bruises. The other son. Joseph, thirtyfour years old, was severely crushed. On the third floor Mrs. Kraub and John Krana, her ton, were killed. This was at 53 Grand street. On the ground floor at 55 Grand street, the clothing store of Morris & Solo mon had stock damaged $3,000. On the first floor Mrs. Rudolph was killed. Her hus band and four children escaped with slight bruises. The second floor, occupied by Mr. Woeff and four children. Father ami mother escaped. The fate of the children is not known. On the third floor Mr. Sapphey wife and child. Latter killed but the parents escaped. The loss to the owners, o. 53 Grand street was $15,000, and No. 55 $10.000. This afternoon firemen rescued Mrs. Hill. She was severely bruised and was suffering rroni the shock, the list of dead bodies is found to be seven. The bodies of John Thompson, a negro thirty-five years of age, and Frank and Chester Hill, two children, are added to those already found. It is believed that more dead will be brought to light as the excavation proceeds. The police have driven the tenants out of the adjoining . ..... .. ... " nouse, wnicn nas oeen injured and is very shaky. From the platform of the Elevated Railroad station, corner ot South, Filth avenue and Grand street, a scene of utter confusion below was presented. Bricks, timbers, broken boards and smashed household goods mingled with broken baskets and bottles from the saloon and with torn and soiled garments of the tenants. The large force of firemen that could be put to work among the ruins could make but slow progress on account of the necessity of working cautiouslv and difficultly, dislodging twisted laths and timbers. Eight or ten firemen, engaged in clearing away the ruins from the place where Mrs. Hill and her two children were im prisoned, worked energetically to get them out alive. About 11 the debris which partly covered Mrs. Hill's face was removed, but it was found the was closely pinioned by two beams, which fell across her letrs. Water and stimulants were furnished her and her face was covered with a veil which was kept wet with water, that dust might not choke her. She was perfectly self-possessed and lay without murmuring or groaning while the fireman carefully worked about her. She made inquiries for her children, one three years old, the other a year old. The body of the youngest child was discovered shortly before 12, lying close beside its mother. The little one's face was covered with dust and mortar. Death resulted from puflbration. A brother of Mrs. Hill said She might have escaped, as she was near the rear window, but she ran into the bedroom to save the children. Her escape from death was almost miraculous, as the beams of the floor above her were not more than nine or ten inches from her face. At once Mrs. Hill was removed from the ruins, and it was discovered that she hud been-seriously injured about the legs and lower part of the body. The work of recovering the body of the other child was immediately begun. A number of firemen are also at work on

the rear of the fiat, where 55 Grand street stood, to recover the body .f a German. He was a customer of the beer saloon in the

basement, and wtnt into the yard, where he was caught by falling walls. He lived for an hour or two, as some men who were working to rescue him talked with him; but he died before the ruins covering him could he removed. It is said this morning that a number of customers were in the lager beer saloon, 55 Grand street, and were caught in the falling ouuuing. At nrst it was said there were two or three men in the saloon, but the story grew by repetition until the number reached ten or twelve. One of the occuptnts of the building oil" the opposite side of the street said he saw three or four people in the saloon a few minutes v f r . the milding fell. Ihe saloon is kept oj airs, w ara, ana sue had a very narrow i.ooe. in rtioraDove the bament is oc cupieu as a tauor store, out there was no one there at the lime. On the door above was John Randolph with his wife and four children. His wife 1-ouisa R. Randolph, aooiu inirty-nve years old was taken out dead, and Randolph and his four children were taken to the Chambers Street Hospital, suuering from very severe bruises. On th next floor a man named Shipley lived with his wife. They both escaped by jumping irom a rear window, un the top floor aa ville, an artificial flower maker, lived with his wife and two children. He and his wile were taken out uninjured, oui nis eiues.5 child, a girl ol seven years oi ago, was tilled, and young child, very severely injure i. On the floor of the building, 53 Grand street, at the corner of South and Fifth avenne, was the liquor store of Holland & O Lnen. There were no customers in the st-re at the time, and the bartender had gone to the rear room when the building J 1 I WW em. - ten. Jie made hi escape through the building on South Fifth avenue. On the floors above. John Hill and wife lived with their two children. Both children were killed, and Hill and his wife were severely injured. On the third floor Mrs. C. Badei lived with her two sons, one son wasabsen at the time, Mrs. Bader and her son Joseph twenty-four years old were caught in the building, Joseph was taken out with a leg nroken and other severe injuries. Mrs, Bader had her skull fractured.

This is said to be a greater excess than in any other city in the Union. In 1S70 the foreign population of Missouri was 222,207, in 1830, 211,210 a falling off of 11,000; but still she has the James boys, and prospers in spite of fate. In one County in Iowa at the recent election not a Democrat vote was cast And yet we go on year after year sending mis sionaries to foreign climes. Surely Rutherford B. Hayes must be low down when the Globe-Detuocrat can reach and strike him with the remark that he "ought t be the principal defendant in the Star Route prosecutions." When you see a married woman standing on the corner, a block from her house, to catch the letter-carrier, you may know that she is expecting a letter from her aunt, and doesn't want her husband to see it.

"The last time I saw Miss X.." said a nobleman, speaking of a well-known actress to a witty dramatist, "was at a morning performance, and she had grown so stout that she already filled the box."

Terre Haute Express. Works of Art That Deceive Even the Keen Kye of Love Wig Makers' Secret. New York Sun. "Americans have maie great imp ovenients in wigs, as well as iu many other hiDgs," said it Cohen, the wig-maker, to a Sun reporter. "Few people will wear the old-fashioned heavy English wigs nowadays. Instead of the thick, hot and uncomfortable head covering of former days, we have now light, graceful and convenient wigs that are a very close imitation of the natural hair. Formerly the fact that a man wore a wig was known at a glance. Now the imitation is so close that I have known it to baffle examination. The other day a young man who wears a blonde wig came to have it repaired. I found that a large lock had been cut out of it. I asked him how it happened, and he told me that a lady had asked him for a lock of his hair, and that he had allowed her to make her own selection. He confessed to a little trepidation when she took hold of the lock to cut it off, but she was gentle with him and cutoff the lock close to the head without discovering that he wore a wig. The work of restoration was artislic. It would not do to replace a lock of full length at once. We began with short pieces, imitating the natural growth of the hair. The lady never found out the deception until after they were married, hen she happened to handle his hair less tenderly. There is an old gentleman with a gray beard for whom I have made wigs si me his hair was black. As bis beard began to grow gray the contra-jt between that and the hair of his head was too marked. We began by making him a wig with a few gray hairs tpiiukledin. Gradually the number of gray hairs was increased until now he buys three white wigs a year. Black wig last longer than white. The latter turn yellow with wear, and we have found no way of cleaning the white hair without destroying the workmanship of the wig. Where a wig covers the entire head it it is easy to make it fit tight with most beads without the use of any adhebive substance. Lut where the wig covers a part cf the head, or where toupees or patches are used, it is necessary to stick on the false hair with mucilage or adhesive wax. "Wigs cost all the way up from $10 to

4100, according to the fineness of the hair and the excellence of the workmanship. The most costly wig-. : j made on a foundation f hair lace. Eac . hair Is carefully seiet t4 and knotted to a mesh of the face. This Kind is called the ventilated wig. You can part it anywhere, like natural hair, and the appearance of the parting will be like that of the natural scalp. The flesh shows through the meshes of the lace with great naturalness. This is the kind of wig the blonde young man wore. Cheaper wigs are made by fastening hair to long threads and sewir g strips of it on a foundation less costly thi Q ha r lace. Even these can not he

detec ed by ihe .ordinary observer, al-thot-gh when you know that a man wears such a wig you 111 be sure to notiriL Vf ry often, however, toupees are nut on with so much skill, by mixing the ends witn ta? natural hair, that the art is not perceptible. I think the tendency now is to cone il baldness rather than to let it be occu. j. rue, in me summer, some ot our young men do get their hads clipped like Mfo f A vSu:..r A .1.. 1 W-k wvai; llll VWUitlO, UI IU6 ÜUV3 111 & X OOX House, but I think the fashion is less favored than formerly. "Some experiments have been made in the d-rection of transplanting hair into the akin, but thus far without success. You know you may stick a pin through the outer sKiu wunoui pain. Hairs nave been drawn through holes thus made, and roots of hair nave been planted in the skin. But the result has been to create a little inflammation and suppuration at the point of contact of the hair with the skin. The hair lace foundation is the latest improvement and that is fifteen years old. The cheaper foundation is called 'weft' or woven. The costliest hair is that which curls naturally. The curl may be imitated, but no respectable dealer would sell it for a natural curl. The fraud would soon be discovered. There is a better opportunity in a curled wig to conceal our ears. The locks may be carele3sly disposed with more success than where the hair is straight. Of course I know the names of many prominent men in all the professions who wear wigs, but it is a point of honor with our profession not to reveal them. We would as soon think of betray ing tne name oi a lady who wears puffs, braids, switch, or curls of artificial manufacture. "Many men wear wigs quite as much for their hi alt h as for appearance's sake. It has been found that bald headed men are subject to colds, neuralgia and catarrh. A bald-headed man In an audience near a window is a nuisance. When others want the window open to secure ventilation he, in consideration for his bare pate wants the window shut If he puts on his hat nobody sees that he does It because he is bald and he is thought unmannerly. Some Professors and Doctors wear skull caps, but they look odd. and wigs are murh httr i The market is well supplied with all colors and shades of hair,, the best of which is imported. Men don't 'wreath their wrinkled brows with well saved combings' as women commonly do. It would not pay men to save the combings. In men's wigs the cost of the hair is not so much as the labor. In women's wigs the hair is the costliest part" SHOT DEAD. Jam D. Bnsdell Kills John T. 8marr at Kansas City. Kan8as City, Nov. 9. John T. Smarr, a member of the firm of E. C.

Oalvestok, Nov. 9. In the Flipper case the cross-examination of Shafter occupied the Court again yesterday. Questions for the defense pointed to an attempt to prove that Shafter was over zealous in the service of the Government in stripping Flipper of an nis personal enects. Shatter replies: The 'personal effects were taken at first, but subsequently tenuered back. The balance was reiainea until some small debts were settled. Probably all had been offered but refused by Flipper, save through a civil process. The effects have been subject to his onier since that time. The defense offered to prove that enlisted men were so enraged at the confinement that propositions were made to relieve Flipper by force. Culllngs From the City Court.

A decision of some importance to banks, Insurance Companies and all corporations which employ agents, was rendered in the Supreme Court to-day in the case of the Central National Bank, of Baltimore, against the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company. The litigation grew out of a deposit ot about $11,000, made in the bank above named, by A. H. Dillon, Jr., General Agent of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, and landing on the books of said bank f n the name of said Dillon as such ageut It appears from the evidence that Dillon was in the habit of depositing in the bank to the credit of his agency account, money belonging to him personally as well aa money collected for and belonging to tne Insurance r Company, ana ne drew checks against this arencv on . . r i . . . scuuuci tor uis own perzonai use, as wen as tor tne remittances which be made the Company, whose agent he was. . In 1873 the Dana; discounted- for Dillon and his wife personally, a note of $10.000. the proceeds of which Dillon used In certain business speculations, when this note fell due it was not paid, and the Bank on the 1st of June, 1874, charged it to Dillon's agency ac count, ine insurance uompany maintained the undrawn balance of the agency account, about $11,000. belonged to them, and that the bank had no right to satisfy out of their funds the note given by Dillon to raise money for their own personal use. The Company therefore Drought suit to recover from the bank the amount of this nn drawn balance of Dillon's agency account In June. 1878, the Court rendered a decree directing the bank to pay the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company the amout of the fund, with accrued interest The bank thereupon appeals to this Court, which holds that when against a bank account designated as one kept by a depositor in a fiduciary capacity the bank seeks to assert its lien aa a banker, for a fersonal obligation, the depositor nown to have been contracted for his Erivate benefit it (the bank) must be held as aving notice that the fund represented by the account is not the individual property of the depositor. If it is shown to consist in whole or in part of funds held by him In trust relation, the Court further holdsquoting a recent decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of Kentucky vs. Hallett that if the money held by the person in a fiduciary capacity, though not as trustee, had been paid by him to his account at his banker's, the person for whom he holds the money can follow it, and has charge on the balance in the banker's hands, even although it is mixed with his (the depositor's) money; also, that the bank can not be permitted to assert its own claim to the balance of the agency account as against the equity of the beneficial owner, when the bank has notice, either actual or constructive, of such equity. The decree of the Court below is therefore affirmed. The opinion was by Justice Matthews. A decision was also rendered to-day in the insurance case of Caroline Klein against the New York Life Insurance Company, in which is presented the question whether the penalty for the future for the non-payment of premiums expressed in the policy of the insurance can be enforced in all cases regardless of excuses or reasons which may be assigned for default This Court holds that it can. That excuses offered for the nonpayment of premium can not be taken into consideration ; that the provision for the re lease of the Company irom liability on failure to pay premiums when due. U of the very essence and Substance of the contract of a life insurance company, and that to hold the company to its promise to pay ininsurance, notwithstanding the default insured in making punctual payment is to destroy the very substance of the contract .This a Court of equity can not do.

A WILD ENGINE JLbout 8:30 o'clock Wed- a laynigl t agcod sized wreck occurred a short distance west of the Union Depot by a wild engine on the C, I., St L. and C. track rur.t.ing into the regular freight train which was departing on the Indianapolis and Vincc-nnes Uoad. It seems that the engine on the "Big Four" was pulling a heavy freight this side of Augusta, when the train broke apart between. the second and third car. As they were going down a grade the engineer and fireman became frightened at the prospect of the two parts of the train coming together and causing a collision, and jumped from the engine. This left the engine free, and it came dashing into the city at a frightful rate, creating dire consternation as it crossed Washington fctreet. The engineer and fireman on the I. and V. saw it approaching and leaped off in time to avoid a 6erious or ierhaps a fatal accident. The two engines collided and were badly demolished, while the two cars on the C., I., St. L. andC, and four attached to the I. and V. engine, we're bjdly wrec ked. The entire loss will amount to fully $U,uO0.'and may reach . higher. It is rumored that some stock was killed on the portion of the freight . that was left at Augusta The engineer, after leaving his engine, sought the nearest telegraph office, and dispatched to North Indianapolis to throw the engine on to a switch, but the dispatch was received after it had passed. It came in at the rate of at least forty miles an hour. Had it met a paenger instead of a freight train a disastrous result might have followed. ' The fireman oh the I. and V. mashed his hand, and was t-llg'itly in jured In his jump. It seems almost miraculous that the damage was not much greater. l Arrested for Attempting to Pass Coun terfeit Money.
