Four men were killed and fire others badly injured byfthe collapse of a cornice on a new building In the course of erection at Philadelphia. The cornice weighed nearly ten tons, and In falling carried the scaffold and men who were working on it to the street. At Wilkesbarre, Pa., after cutting a cancer out of his ow‘n side, Michael Moat died from loss of blood. Most went to the hospital some time ago to have the cancer, which was just below his heart, removed. The operation was unsuccessful, so he got a sharp knife and cut the cancer out.

There is no doulit that all of these and others were drowned. The Central Stamping Company, manufacturer of tinware and sheet metal articles, whose office is at 25 Cliff street, New York, and factories in Brooklyn and Newark, N. J.. made an assignment. The company was organized in December, 1884, with a capita! stock of $7)00,000. It absorbed five of the largest; concerns in the tinware trade in the country and was known as the "tinware trust." The concerns absorbed were Lalauee &, Grosjean aud Frederick llabermau & Co, of New York, E. Kctchnm & Co. of Brooklyn, James Aikiunn & Co. of Newark, N. J., and the St. Louis Stamping Company of St. Louis, Mo. "When the consolidation took place the factories and equipment of the five firms were leased to the company for ten years at a rental of $15,000 a year each. During the ten years the company did a very large and prosperous business and Claimed to have made a large surplus. At the expiration of the ten years there was a disruption of the relations between those in the company, and Lnlance & Grosjean and the St. Louis Stamping Company withdrew and were followed by Frederick Habernian & 'Co. The liabilities of the trust are said to be about $300,000.

A 1 most remarkable disease, known as the jack rabbit worm, has made its appearance in Haskell and Grant counties, Kansas, and members of a dozen families who have eaten of jack rabbits are iu a critical cognition. Three deaths have been reported. Local physicians were unable to diagnose the disease and a specialist was sent to investigate. Ten days after eating jack rabbit meat the victims broke out with pimples similar to measles. Then a small worm would crawl out through the skin, leaving the patient a physical wreck. The physicians say it is the rabbit worm disease, caused by eating jack rabbits out of the frost period. The Loiter relief movement is still being agitated at Newton. Ivan. Charles Schoofer of Sedgwick, who was consul to Vera Cruz under President Cleveland, writes to J. B. Fugates, editor of the Newton Democrat, as follows: "I enter my indignant protest against the unfair criticism newspapers arc making about the” Leiter movement. We believe that Loiter. Jr., caused the high price that wheat brought us. We know nothing of tlie wine and woman part of Ills life. But. we do know that while lie might have gone on the other side and 'beared' the market, thus recouping his losses, he did not do so, in this way helping the farmer to secure a better price for his grain. All this we do know and, feeling grateful, we wish to express gratitude in the only way it would count, that is, by giving 1 cent per bushel ou all wheat to help a man who has helped the farmer."

attion. from which he hag entirely recovered. Ills Holiness fias resumed his customary duties and is daily receiving deputations. The London Daily Mail’s Vienna correspondent says that numerous Alpine fatalities have occurred, recently. They include an American, Miss Merrant, who, while making a dangerous ascent of the Dreisch-Usterspitze. near Innsbruck, slipped and fell a distance of 1,500 feet. She was instantly killed. The slaughter in southern China continues. Corpses iioiit past Wu Chau daily. Two hundred rebels who had entered Tai Wong Kong were defeated by Gen. Mawho, who killed 100 of the rebels and took forty of them prisoners. The gentry in the districts of Paklan and Wungun daily send to the magistrates between ten and twenty rebels for execution. News of a fatal accident to one of two brothers of the name of Ivortula has been received at Vienna. While making an ascent of the Geisterspitze, in the Ortler Alps, tied together, one of the brothers fell into a fissure. The other brother faced the alternative of cutting the rope or of both being killed. He cut the rope and his brother fell into a mountain torrent and was drowned.

IN GENERAL.

Because their houses were closed, the Chinese gamblers of Vancouver, B. C., made an attempt to blow up the town. Their plot was discovered just in time to prevent a terrible catastrophe. For the first time in the history of the United States military academy a first lieutenant is to lie made superintendent of that institution. The officer to lie thus honored is First Lieut. Albert L. Mills, First cavalry, one of the Santiago heroes, who now has the temporary rank of captain as a member of (.Jen. Young’s staff. ltradstroot's commercial report says: "Perhaps the most interesting feature of the general business situation at present is the air of confidence with which the mercantile community awaits the approach of the fall trade period. While, of course, based in some degree upon the favorable results already achieved in many lines, it is unquestionably true that the flattering crop outlook at home and the return of peace, with the expectation of benefits to our export trade naturally expected to accrue therefrom, make for much of the feeling thus expressed. Reflection of the growth of fall trade is found in the steady expansion now going on of hank clearings; the improving demand at higher prices for most makes of iron and steel; the generally favorable railway earnings, which, ip default of a large movement of crops to market, point to a large return trade in manufactured goods to the agricultural sections, and the reports of continued activity in distributive trade west and south, with signs of a moderate increase in interest at loading Eastern markets, which hitherto have not shared largely in the trade improvement.” Two or three consular reports, dealing in large part with the Eastern and South American trade, strengthen the views and assertions heretofore communicated to the Stat* Department at Washington. Consul Covert, writing from Lyons, deals at length with the subject of the French bureau of foreign commerce, recently established. One division of this bureau will devote its attention in large measure to the Orient. This bureau will lie in close touch with the French Board of Trade. The Freuth are aiding Russia to develop her resources, aud a large part of the report is taken up with the details of this aid, which is a benefit to France, of course. The writer says that the work of the Lyons commission sent to China by the business men is being followed up vigorously. France is trying to keep up with England aud .Germany iu efforts to supply China, a nation which, to quote •from a great European authority, "is the West potential market in the world.” Con--3.U! Monoghan writes from Chemnitz ia two reports just given out. One, concerning Germany’s shipping, and the other, concerning her machinery export, throw much light on a great trade rival's operations. Compiling, his figures, it is seen that there was an increase in 1896 over 1895 of 13,706 ships and 600,000 tons. Compared with twenty years ago, the figures show twice the ntijnber of ships and three times as much tonnage. There was an increase of 83 per cent in the number of laden ships and 152 per cent increase iu the number of registered tons of vessels that went out laden with the empire’s products and brought in foreign raw materials. Taken as to the number of voyages, the growth is almost 10 per cent for the last period—lß96-95—for which figures are accessible. Germany, like France, is catering to the Russian trade and supplying that colossal country with manufactures. Russia is Germany’s best buyer of machinery.

A Moment of Awful Suspense.

“The nervous strain on the engineer of a fast train is something enormous,’’ said one of them the other day. “Not only the lives of the passenger are at stake, but there Is the constant fear of running over some one on the track. An accident, no matter how Innocent the engineer, is always a kind of hoodoo.” “What was my worst accident? I shall never forget it. If it had been traced on my mind by a streak of lightning it couldn’t have made a more lasting impression. It happened one bright moonlight night in November. We were spinning over the rails at full Bpeed across country where there were few people passing at that time pf night, when I looked out and saw the figure of a man lying across the track not ten feet in front of'the engine. I stopped as quick as possible, but too late, of course. We had run over him, and the lifeless body was under the wheels. “We got out to look for him and found his hat, a piece of bis coat sleeve and one of his shoes, but the rest seem-, ed to be further back under the train. I backed up the.engine and got out to look again. There lay the body. I nearly fainted when I saw its distorted form. I felt like a murderer. “Did I know the man? No, npt personally. He was a scarecrow from a neighboring corn Held.”—Detroit Free

A Prophecy of the War.

Poor Cuba bad suffered at the very threshold of this great and free country for more than a century before any active Intervention was undertaken by the United States. Outrage after outrage had been piled upon American citizens who resided there or undertook to trade at her ports. The present war ought to have been fought fifty years ago, and It is a long, sad commentary on the too peaceful conservatism of the past that the first man killed in front of Santiago in June, 1898, was the grandson and namesake of the Secretary of State who held back the hand of justice In 1870 when the Virgbius affair stirred the American people to indignation. It seems to prove that, whether the war was deferred or not, it must come In spite of the conservatism—ln spite of the cost of life and money. The thought that It would come was present in the minds of many, and in one Instance at least seems to have been developed into a basis for action. Many residents of our city have noted In the street cars among the advertising signs which are so prominently displayed a series of cards which refer to naval and military lines, and which hare a double Interest at the present hour. Although they were placed In the cars over a year ago, before the Spanish war was thought of, their text iu not a few points seems to foretell with accuracy some of the relations of the war.

Fortify with SAmjo Is there not a certain prophetic touch In the suggestion, “A clean nation has ever been a strong nation,” with the further humorous advice to “fortify with Sapolio,” backed by a picture of Uncle Sam marching up and down behind a rampart formed of cakes of that well-known article? Truly civilization and soap seem to go together, and the clean, well-tubbed, nicely housed AngloSaxon seems to have in that regard a great advantage over bis soap-avoiding enemy from the peninsula of Spain. We realize the dread realities of war when these cards suggest to us that the proper ammunition with which to resist with which to roolit dirt. Is SAPOLIO dirt Is Sapolio. The campaign in Cuba has resulted in a loss of life on the battle-field of about one hundred and fifty, while every evidence points to the probability that double that number of deaths will result from the yellow fever scourge, which largely originates from the Spanish lack of cleanliness. No less a statesman than James G. Blaine stated publicly that oue hundred millions would be a cheap price to pay for Cuba if by proper sauitary measures we could prevent the anuual scare of yellow fever along our coast. Ts". vfram of cfvufutic |, mSAPOUO If, as these active advertisers assert, the advance of civilization Is marked by the use of Sapolio, there should be a good market for their useful article 4 In the Spanish possessions which have lately fallen under our control. Whether 6 they were prophesying or not, their announcements are brisk and timely, and the advice they give Is—like the American arms—lrresistible. A Woman's Explanation.
