About a year ago the plant of the oil mill was entirely destroyed by Are, entailiug a loss of something like $150.

Monday last he disappeared, and though his abenee caused some conjecture, no special alarm was felt, the accepted theory being- that he was indulging in a protracted spree. His relative and intimates were of this belief and urged ' that no particular publicity be given his disappearance.

Franklin fell from the steps of a car, striking hL head on a railway tie. He jumped to his feet and declared that a mob was pursuing him wanting to kill him. He then tied across the country pursued by a crowd. lie was pursued by an increasing mob five hours. Daring this time he "stood oif his pursuers by dring at them with a big revolver. He entered a farmer's stable, took a horse and tied on its back. A few miles further on he changed this horse for another. He was tinally stopped by a barbwire fence corner, and some one in the pursuing party shot him with a shotgun loaded with slugs, wounding him in the knee and face.

Galvestoa. for example, has rather more thaa sve per ceat. of the export trade of the country, but the import trade at that port amounts to oaly one-Sfth of one per cent- of the imparts of the United States, About :S per cent, of the conntry's exports pass through the port of 2sew Orleans, but less than two per cent, of its imports come in throszh that channel. To llostoa 10.39 per cent, of the exports of the country are credited, and a H per cent, of the im- , ports, making altogether, as we have said, an average of abont tea per cent, of the entire trad;. New York L unlike Itoston ia respect to the division of its trade, its imports arnocntin; to per cent, of ail the xmporls of the country, while its exports foot up to only -iu.3; per cent, of oar national outgo.

The Cfrrmoalr Dlffrr Marh from Thst la ThU Coantry There is a fixed idea in the ttoman nind that the only two months of thi year suitable for weddings are May and October, the former because it is not yet too hot to make the honeymoon tour unpleasant and the latter because it is not yet too cold to get up and b? married at eight o'clock in the morning, for among the upper cla.s eight o clock is the tixed and orthodox hour. I Marriage in Italy is essentially and primarily a religious ceremony, accompanied by mass and holy communion, the- latter involving- fasting until the ceremony is over. Fashionable weddings are usually relebratfd in the private chapel of a cardinal, bishop or monsignore. ait tvhoe house the breakfast is usually rfien. instead of at the bride's home. There are aLfo various other diiTerecces. which make a curious impre--ion on tne mintl of an hnglish jnrl marrying a Koman l'ridesmaiiL are unknown; insi?ad there are four witnesses in attendance two for th bridegroom and two for the bride; they must ! men of the Catholic faith, who are able to jrwear that the contracting parties ire free to marry. During- the marriage ceremony the witnesses must stand close to the bride and bridegroom, in order to hear their tows and to feel satisfied that they are made of their own free will, compulsion being one of the two reasons for which the church can annul a marriage. After this the witnesses retire to the background and low mass is laid, music net er being so much sua thought of. There is a special mass in which at one point a silver tablet, called a -pax. is kissed by the priest, with the words: "Peace be with you." and then carried to the married couple, to be kissed by them in turn. After the mass there is a pause and a silence ia the chapel for about a quarter of as hour, while the priest and all who have communicated make their thank.'givng. The breakfa-vt. according to English deas, is a mot curious morning niral. consisting of coff-e. ices, cakes and sweets in great tariety. When it is over boxes or lags of "confetti" are distributed by the bride to all the gentlf men present and by the bridegroom to all the ladies. They are also sent vith the Ietter de faire irt" to all ntimate frieatl not aide to attend the tedding, and vary from the simplest thite satin bonbon bag to the boxes node of solid silvrr.
