A Woman Who Kept H*r Mon y in a Sachel Is Robb d For years Mrs. Margaret Kehoe, of Ryerson, Pa , has saved her money. Her affections ran to S2O gold pieces, and her hoard footed up $3,003. She had no faith in banks and kept her money in a sachel, which proved convenient for some thief, as the other morning she had not a penny. A Polish domestic named Texperwas found secreted in a barn and arrested, but denies all knowledge of the money. STRUCK HEALY IN THE FACE. Irish Factum Fight at the Funeral of The O’Gormin M«hon. ..

man Mahonj, i a ro ’Me moor of l" arlia me n t for Carlow, were Messrs. Parnell and Healy. After the funeral a disturbance took place, in which Mr. Hea y received a violent blow in the face. His assailant was promptly arrested. A Ju-or on HD Mucic Agnes Baldwin, tried for murder at Devil's Lake, IL D., was remanded to a cell for a new trial, the jury having disagreed and been discharged. They stood nine for murder and three for acquittal. Some of the nine insist that the three favored ac luittal because they were Catholics. The defendant, it seems, professed to be a Catholic, though for many years she was a Baptist. Cue of the three became offended when the charge was made, and threatened to throw the offending juror out of the window if the subject was not dropped. Carried Away in a Balloon While a large balloon belonging to Count Apraxine was being inflated with gas at St. Petersburg, it escaped from the attendants who were holding it to the ground and carried upward four workmen, who were in the ar. After it had ascended to a great height, the onlookers were horrified to see the lalloon burst and the bodies of the unfortunate workmen dashed to the earth, where they were smashed al most beyond recognition. Pensions forth« Widow? It is announced that Mrs James AV, Quinton and Mrs. F. St. Claire Grimwood, the widows respectively of Chief Commissioner Quinton and Political Agent Grimwood, who lost their lives in the Manipur massacre, have each been accorded a pension of $1,500 a year by the East Indian Government. suicide by shooting. The Coroner's jury returned a verdict, saying: “The deceased killed himself in a lit of despondency, caused by brooding over the increase in taxes under the new Dem »- cratic appraisement law of the State.” Cosed by th" “h 'r’ff The Standard Gig Saddle Company, of Jackson, Mich , incorporated in 18-7 with a capital stock of $50,000, was closed by mortgages held by the Union Bank of that city amounting to $2'3,000. Deed of a Lnnvie At the County Infirmary, Memphis, Tenn., Eli Burns, a colored lunatic, attacked Warden Frank Gregory with a shovel, striking him a violent blow on the head, killing him instantly. Murder and Hu'clde. A special from Roanoke, Va , says that Houston O’Renchain, of that city, shot and mortally wounded H N. Trout, at Troutville, about ten miles from Roanoke. The murderer then went to a house close by and committed suicide. Trout was a detective. O'Renchain was a flagman. Brutal Burglar. Mrs. Claude Keller, wife of a Leavcnwoith (Kan.) clergyman, was choked to unconsciousness and nearly Li led by a burglar.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK. । _______ ■ ’ EASTERN OCCURRENCES. There was a scene of excitement at Yonkers, N. Y., when all the prisoners in the cells at i olic? headquarters were found unconscious. There were six , prisoners confined for trivial offenses. : The gas had escaped during the night and overcome all of them. One ot the prisoners recovered and n anaged to cscanc during the excitement. At least three of them will die. At Boston, Kilbourn J. Brown was arrested, charged with smuggling while in the employ of the Canadian Pacific : Railway as conductor of a Pullman car । between Boston and Montreal. He was । held in $5,G00 bail for examination. | This is considered a very important arrest. Ar Now York Mrs. Annie Wilson died, ; the victim of a merciless landlord. Mrs. । Wilson was suffering from pneumonia, ■ but the landlord insisted on her removal ; because she was behind in her rent. Dr. Barry protested, but the landlord was obdurate, so a litter was carefully got ready and Mrs Wilson was taken to the ambulance. Before the driver started > for the hospital the woman expired. Dr. | Barry then refused to take the bedy I away, and, in spite of the landlord, con- I veyea it back to the room where five minutes before the woman was UWM ,wL I b,,?'J , hance for recovery. dead baby's mother proved to be Pauline Rodenberg, who said that she had fallen asleep near an open window with the child in her arms The child had fallen three stories. Since the suppose 1 suicide of fifteen-year-old Mamie McQnostin at Turnersville, N. J., there have been many rumors of foul play. It was given out that the girl had committo I suicide. Her story, as told by neighbors, is very sad. She was found in a poo! of water four inches deep. A piciLiAi: disease has broken out among the Hungarians in the Pennsylvania coke regions, greatly resembling the terrible “blackleg” malady which some two years ago greatly infested Europe. There arc 200 cases in the region. Their limbs present a loathsome aj>pearance, and the disease is spreading. Leechburg (Pa.) wa? visited by a most terrific rainstorm which for a time assumed the proportions of a cloudburst. At Georgetown, the water rose suddenly to a height of thirty feet, and. rushing down the mountain, struck the massive stone culvert of the West Pennsylvania Railroad, completely demolishing it. The torrent of water then passed through the town, overturning houses and carrying half a doz< n of them down the stream. John Frank, who was crossing the railroad culvert, had several ribs broken and may die. All railway traffic was cut off. The peach growers of the Delaware and Maryland pen insula agreed that tne peninsula peach crop this year will be about G,000,000 baskets. Nearly all the ; growers reported that the white and red ' fruit was extremely plent ful, but that the yellow fruit was extremely scarce. 1 Another important fact noticed was that - trees four, five and six years < 3 were I ToadeiTiHivriL^!^^^^^ _

At Derby, Conn . C. F. Gilbert, with I his wife and child and Mrs. Livingstone i and Mrs. Dickerson, started down the river in a sailboat Nothing has b^en ■ seen or heard of them since. Great excitement prevails. Another embezzlement of $224,000 of State funds by Bardsley was discovered at Philadelphia, making a grand total of $669,000 stolen of the State funds by the faithless ex-treasurer. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. At Port Huron, Mich., a big cave-In occurred in the Grand Trunk tunnel. The north bank for many feet gave way and sank into the cut. carrying the engine house down with it and completely blocking the approach from the month of the tunnel for the whole length of the cave-in. The accident is similar to the one which occurred on the Canada sui ■. For some time past numerous strolling bands of Apache Indians have b'en seen along th? border of Arizona and New Mexico in the vicinity of the Ka k Range, where the blood-thirstv old Chief Victoria and his band made their headquarters in 1881. The stragglers have' been threatening sett ers. A militia i company has ben organized, and at tho first, indication from the In lians that they mean trouble another war will be commenced which will drive tie i out of the territory or result in their extermination. At Omaha Jolin M. Campion, for cm- • bezzling $5,40J from the Tank Line Company, was sentenced to three yeyrs in the penitentiary. Campion was a lay preacher of the Episcopal church up to the discovery of his crime. Carl Benson, the Scandia Bank defaulter, who misappropriated $4,500, was sentenced to forty-fivejlttys-iu tbo ; cum Tancos.” + At St. Louis, during a severe storm, twenty-five picnickers were hudd'el together in an out-house in Forest Park. i They had scarcely got inside the build- : Ing when there was a sharp flash of ; lightning, and then shrieks and moans : and cries for help. Nearly all of the j occupants of the out-liouse were more ! or less in ured, one being killed and three very seriously hurt While some laborers at Gary, 111., : were loading crushed stone onto a car . they were horrified at seeing the head ‘ and body of a man. It proved to bo the i body of their fellow laborer, Hermann i Kreuger. He was horribly crushed and ; mangled and must have suffered a terri- 1 ble death. Kreuger was employed in ! the stone quarry of Kimball A Cobb at ; Gary, As the stone goes through the : crusher it flows into a large bin. It was I Kreuger’s duty to stand on a platform : by the bin and attend to the filling. It j is thought that while leveling the stone ' in the bin Kreuger lost his balance and I fell in. The noise of the crusher drowned I his cries for help and the falling stone ■ slowly covered him and gradually crushed his life out. Utica, 111., the busy little cement, and brick manufacturing town and the seat of many cozy and pretty homes, was de- | vastated by a cloud burst. An ominous black cloud hung like a pall fora few minutes over the place and then belched

forth such a volume of water as oven Utica, the scene of many floods, had never beheld befoie. A few hours after the first deluge camo the water receded, and i while no loss of life was reported, the great amount of damage began to dawn upon the residents of the place. Not a dwelling or p’ace of business was spared from the water's fury, and household goods to the value of thousands of dollars were ruined. Beautiful lawns were despoiled, and sand and mud to the : depth of several inches covered the ' floors and car; ets of dwellings. At Keokuk, lowa, the marriage of Miss Georgia Kilbourne, daughter o f Mrs. George Kilbourne, of that city, and Major General John M. Scoffield, commanding the armies of the United States, took place in St. John’s Episcopalian Church. All of Keokuk's exclusive society was present to witness the ceremony. Carl Block, a Racine, Wis., harnessmaker in poor circumstances, receiv»d a letter from a wealthy brother in Breslau. Germany, saying that as he y.as about to marry a second wife, ho waited to provide for his two brothers and two sisters, and had set aside for each of them $20,000. Milton C. Brown, a prominent B i- > ness man of East St. Louis, and his&to ! quarreled, and Mrs. Brown appHe®or 1 a divorce on the grounds of extrem^K’J I repeated cruelty.

Ai Balina, Kan., ex-Congressman -V Phillips, । andidate for C ongress last fal| won the suit brought by Dan Wagstaffi for S2OO spent in I hillips' campaign. The money was spent for beer to enco voters and Phillips refused to pay it. Thecas? has been appealed and a lively sensat on as to political machine methods is । romised. Fhe reports from Kansas are very discouraging. The wot weather is malting the outlook very gloomy. Z. G Smith, one of the best-known grain men j in Kansas City, said that if the bad reports were confirmed the estimate for Kansas wheat wo ild have to bo cut to 35,000.001 bushels, instead of the 60,1 000,003 bushels it was expected to raise. Recently James Waggoner, of Croii County. Wyoming, was taken from his^ home by three supposed United State* j officers. Thi l other day Mrs. Waggon'* found th • body of her husband hangbg from a tree about ten miles from fee ranch. Waggoner ' .id amassed Sl-’yEi in cash and a largo natch of horses.

A relief train vas sent to the scene of the accident with doctors, and I

a number of ambulances ordered to the depot to receive and convey the wounded to the hospital. The wreck knocked down all the wires of the Western I nion Company on the Illinois Central Railroad, cutting off telegraph communication. The wreck occurred near the old Sauve plantation. Ar Pine Bluffs, Ark., drivers on the street railroad quit the service of the company because the stock had not been fed. The drivers say the mules had nothing to eat for four days.

Queen Victoria has decided that the Duke of Fife's daughter (the recently born granddaughter of the Prince of Wales) is only entitled to rank as the daughter of a duke and not as a princess of the blood royal.

DELUGED IN A MINUTE. AWFUL EFFECT OF A MIGHTY CLOUDBURST. Utica, 111., ihe Scene of Widespread De-vastation-Towns in the Illinois Valley Suffer Greatly—Stock Killed, Bridges Demolished, and Children Drowned.

The village ot Utica, 11l , was the ] icene of a c’oud-burst that is almost । without parallel. i The darkness that attended the gath- : •ring storm was like that ofnight. The । people were terror stricken and looked Lt one another in speechless suspense. Suddenly the floodgates of the heavens were opened and at one awful burst a torrent poured itself upon the village, >nd almost instantly the streets were juried under water that rose over lawns, porches, and then into the houses, driving the people from their homes and their places of business to seek safety an the highest points available. 'lhe excitement and anguish of the Seeing panic-stricken villagers was terrible in the extreme. Many of them oelieved their last hour had come. Mothers hugged their children to their ; breasts and prayed for deliverance. l Others, not entirely paralyzed with , fear, devoted themselves to saving their ' property from ruin. Within a few moments of the cloudburst the water was iully six feet di ep I in the streets. When it began receding . erreat damage to property could be discerned. Sidewalks, fences, and bridges were washed away; dwellings and places of business were part'ally ruined, and household goods on tbo were reuderv d worthless. iron railroad bridge over the Peguin i Soggin creek was washed away, and four : ears on a siding at the new cement works were carried down the stream. The canal bank broke in several ) places, which increased the volume of water, and leek Na 13, just west of Uti- । ea, was torn out. . Large gangs of men were immediately } at work removing the great beds of sand which washed upon the track from tho ’ Utica pits, while others were replacing the broken bridge. The loss is hard to ' approximate, but $159,000 is a conservative figure , The only fatality was in the Cop- ' peras Creek valley, just across the line in Fulton County. A family named Gray t had a cabin in the val ey, and when the flood left the banks of Copperas Creek and rushed down the valley the inmates 1 zrew alarmed. The father took his r three boys and staged to the hills, while r tho mother rcfilsed to leave the house. * When half-way across the valley a float- • ing log struck Gray and stunned him. i The rushing water drowned the boys , (aged 12, 8, and 5), and he narrowly escaped by clinging to the log. His wife t got on tho roof of the house and was rescued. SCHOFIELD-KILBOURNE. I 1 Celebration of Their Nuptials at the Home of the r ritie. Gen. John M.

THE PINE IS GOING FAST PRIVATE HOLDINGS GOOD FOR ONLY FIVE YEARS. The Enormous Wealth of Product —Thu Capital and Men Employed—Michigan Leads the Procession—The Change in the C’enlers of Production.

The Census Office has prepared for disbution an interesting bulletin on lumber production and allied industries of Wiscon-* sin, Minnesota and Michigan, which comprise what is known as the “white pin® group.” The aggregate increase of mill products as computed with the census reports of 1880 is 29.66 per cent, ih quantity and 75.92 percent, in value: the increase in the number of hands employed is 138.49 per cent, and the increase in the total amount of wages paid is 141.26 percent. According to the tenth census (1880) the amount of capital invested in the milling industry in Michigan. Wisconsin and Minnesota was $65,855,632. The capital shown to have been invested at the eleventh census (1890) is §223,388,607, an increase of $157,530,975. According to the census of 1880 the proportion of capital employed to the value of manufactured products was reported to be $5,846“ to sl. In 1890 the proportion is stated to be 5i.52 to 81. The latter proportion if applied to the amount of products reported at the tenth census would produce the sum of $118,207,836 as the .actual capital employed at that period, and the inciease —> computed on this basis is found to be 85.98 per cent. The results obtained respecting the principal subjects are summarized in the following exhibit f r the group of States: Value of forest products not manufactured at mill $30,426,184 Value of mill products 115,0 9.«)4 Value cf manufactures 21,112,618 Aggregate value of products $167,237,816 The pruductiou of this value required the ital; tbc employment In"tie forekVo 652 men, 99 women, and 10 children, and also the labor of 32,491 animals; the labor in the mills of 87,939 men, 646 women, and 653 children; the operation of machinery and mechanical appliances valued at $23 - 559,334; the removal <f 1,262.151,1 >0 ,'ubic feet of merchantable timber from natural growth; the investment of $7,890,254 in vessels, railways, and waterways, specially used and owned by ths Indus: ry for the transportation of its material and product, and the expenditure of $99,688,256 for wages, subsistence, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses.

According to the censu; of 1880, the six principal lumber producing cities in this group were, in order, as follows: 1. Fay City, Mich., output $3,607,298 2. Muskegon, Mich., output 3,199,257 3.

The aggregate quantity ol material consumed during the census year 1890 was about 650,000.000 feet board measure, and the quantity- ofs tanding timber now owned by establishments in the places named is reported to be about 2,500,0-10,000 feet. The city of Mrn iminee, at the mouth oi the Menominee River, in Michigan, shows the greatest increase of production during the decade. In 1880 it ranked sixth in the nine principal lumber-producing points it the United States, and is now found to be second. The aggregate quantity of material consumed at those points during the census year 1890 was about 450.000,900 feet, board men are, and the quantity of standing timber now owned by establishments in the places named is reported to be more than 4,000,000.000, indicating a sufficient supply at the pi esent rate of consumption sot another decade. The principal material used by tllis industry consists of standing timber, and but for the fact of the inability of the officials of the Federal Government to furnish data I or approximate estimate showing the area I of timbered lands in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota owned by the Government it would be possible to approximate the gross average of timbered lands owned by both the Government and private-parties. It is shown from returns of individual manufacturers tha. their present holdings of standing timber in this group of States are only sufficient to supply them for about five years at the present rate of consumption. The quantity in reserve Is believed to be principally comprehended by what is standing on lands owned by Federal and State Governments. This quantity, however, is unknown. The total area of land held by the Staie of Wisconsin Sept. 30, 1890. is reported at £21633 acres. Most of this land is located half IS said to be timbereu. Minnesota reports ownership of 13 000 00S acres of timbe ed land, containing 20.00(»’ " 000.000 feet of standing timber, mostly pin*, valued at $60,000,000. 1 \ The total capital invested in timbered lands and standing timberbv the establishments reporting in the respective States is/ ' as follows: I Michigan - Wisconsin 31’r muJ Minnesota 5,791 924.
