The boy was burned and al most frightened to death. Hi-- parents sued ami Mr. Hartley had to settle with them. The boy's mother has since told her neighbor that the fire cure was a success, as Willie was now a wide-awake, active boy. Hartley heard this. Tuesday he entered suit before Aid.

Tin- Stoneman House, in the Yosemite I ' Valley, near Wawona. Cal., was burn. 1 with all its contents. The Stoneman was built in 18S6 at a cost of Sin. hhi, and belonged to the State of California. Fire destroyed the entire village of Ontonagon. Mich.. Tuesday afternoon, with a loss of SI.7HHi.(MM), including the immense manufacturing plant maintained there by the Diamond Mat<h Company. There is also ample reason to fear that there was terrible loss of life, as the m. ager reports received indicated such a swiftness of the destruction that little time for escape was afforded ami none for saving properly. The firm of R. J. Allen. Son & Co., Philadelphia, wholesale dealers in glass and china ware, has made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. The failure was due to an execution being issued on judgment notes aggregating $50,000. The liabilities will probably reach $250.000. Stringency in the money market is given as the cause of the failure. The State Department has received a cable message that the Sultan of Zanzibar died at 11 a. m. Tuesday morning. The cable message adds: “Said Ali holds the palace; sailors and marines landed; riotjag feared.” . . .

EASTERN. Temporary' receivers have been appointed for the Archer & Pancoast Company, manufacturers of gas fixtures ^at New York. The liabilities are $806,780, and the assets $718,500. By the explosion of molten metal at , Furnace I. of the Edgar Thomson Steel Works, Pittsburg, Thursday morning, ten men were burned, three seriously. Ihe explosion was caused by the molten iron striking a pool of water. I’rof. Lamson’s Hying machine is a success.

Davis, of Butte, Mont. Its romantic features are mor. astounding than any novelist, however re soureeful. would dare conoct. and the circumstances will pass into the historv of celebrated instam < s of mistaken identity. Some time ago Mrs. Hulda (Jueen Snell, of Pehai hapi. Kern ('or,my, ('al., entered her claim to the dead mincow ner's big fortune oil the ground that she was his surviving widow, claiming to have been married to him in 1842. in Carrol) County. Arkansas, and that he went to California during the period of the great gold excitement of ISpj. Now it is announced that Mrs. Snell has withdrawn her claim, for the reason that it lias been discovered that the Andrew J. Davis whom she married and who deserted her to seek his fortune in the gold fields and the dead multi-millionaire of Montana are cot the same, but two distinct persons

| who closely resembled each other in per- ' sonnl appearance, and whose careers were strikingly similar, and that the Davis who was the first husband of Mrs. Snell died twenty-one years ago. SOUTHERN. A party of twenty revenue officers, representing all sections of Virginia, went to Franklin Monday to break up the nioat notorious band of outlaws and illicit distillers in the State. By artifice they succeeded in capturing twelve of the outlaws without bloodshed, and destroyed several stills. Among the captured were Calvin Moore, the Martin brothers and the Atkins brothers, the leading spirits of the gang. While coming out of the mountains the officers were tired on nt different points, and in one instance waged a tierce tight on the ambushers. driving them back. The thermometer at Dallas, Texas, made its regular score of 10(> Tuesday. The red-hot air does not perceptibly cool off until long after midnight. Wagon loads of negroes continue to leave town to pick cotton. This movement is exactly one month earlier than usual. This means that cotton has prematurely opened and will all he picked by Sept. 13. It generally takes till Feb. 1 to gather all the crop, but his year it will be all at the gillhouses by Oct. 1. Many buyers who have ready money uro collecting nt the country towns and are snapping up every bale offered at present prices. They say they intend holding it until spring, be lieving il will then be worth more money.

I garian Gowninient has notified the Turkish Government that unless the hitter appoints delegates to a frontier commission by a certain date the Bulgarian troops will be ordered to reoccupy the positions recently occupied by Turkish soldiers on territory which Bulgaria claims belongs to her. Americans connected with the Cuban insurgent army recently destroyed the railroad at the landing place of the village of Banes. This is a port from which the people of Holguin obtain a considerable portion of their supplies. An engine was burned and a number of cars, as well as the baggage stored in them, were destroyed. A majority of the inhabitants are abandoning the village and taking refuge in the seaport town of Gibara. Cnpero, a naturalized .American citizen, alleged to be an insurgent leader of considerable prominence, has been served with papers by the Spanish authorities which will result in his transfer for trial to the Santa Clara Criminal Court. He will be sent nt once to Santa Clara jail, where he will remain until the charges against him can be heard by the San.a Clara judges. The gunboat Aguila, while near a river on the coast of the Province of Pinar del Rio, captured n number of insurgents concealed on a slope. It is supposed they were hovering near the coast for the purpose of exchanging contidentiai dispatches between some of the insurgent leaders.

Swains Fight a Duel to the Death Over a Girl. No Help from Uncle Sam. Santa Ann, Cuba, dispatch: In speaking of the attitude of the I nited States toward Cuba and the possibility of President Cleveland recognizing the belligerency of the insurgents Gen. Gomez said: “1 have forbidden the discussion of the subject in my ciimp. For weeks men fairly held their breaths waiting for word from Washington. It was a waste of time. Long ago 1 realized that we must fight this war alone and unaided. I have no doubt of the sympathy of the American people as a whole. In fact, I have the best evidence of their good will. Many Americans are fighting in my ranks, and good, true men they are. The chief of our artillery is an American from Boston, and no braver man lives.’’ Rivals Shoot Each Other to Death. George Page and Will Morgan, young men living near Madison, Fla., Saturday night fought one of the most remarkable duels on record. For six months Pago r.nd Morgan have b< i-n rival' for the affections of a young lady. Saturday night both attended a dance at which the young woman was present. Her conduct soon drove the rivals to desperation. Finally Page invited Morgan to accompany him for a walk, and ns soon as they were outj side Page proposed that as each man was I armed they take each other by the left I hand and shoot out the quarrel, the sur- ■ vivor to take the girl. Morgan agreed | nnd then, with left hands clasped, they : drew their pistols nnd began tiring. Each man tired five shots. When friends arj rived M rgan was found dead and Page j vv as dying.

Square Garden to Hear Speeches— Bourke Cochran Gives Reply to Recent Speech by Candidate Bryan. Madison Square Garden Meeting. The second notable demonstration of ths political campaign in New York City was held Tuesday night under the auspices of the Democratic Honest Money League of America, in Madison Square, where AV. Bourite Cockrar addressed an immense audience, with a speech entitled “In Opposition to Repudiation.” Mr. Cockran. had been selected to answer Candidate Bryan’s speech because of his opposition to the Chicago platform, and because of the reputation as an orator which "he had earned by his participation in the tariff debate# of two Congresses and by his famous protest against the nomination of Mr. Cleveland, delivered at daybreak in the convention of four years ago. Eighteen thousand scats had been placed in the garden and all of them were tilled when Mr. Cockran advanced to the front of the platform and was greeted by a tremendous cheer, men climbing upon their chairs and waving little American flags which had been strewn through the hall. Maj. J, hn Bryne, president of the league, called the meeting to order, and presented Perry Belmont, who ma'de & short speech byway of overture to Mr. Cockran’s effort. XX hen Mr. Cockran was introduced by Mr. Belmont the first outburst of the meeting came. As Mr. Cockran arose a small group of men with a leader began to sing "My Country.” Then, in obedienceto signals, from various parts of the hall । men arose and joined the chorus. Mr. Cockran himself started to sing, but paused soon, as if he were not familiar with the words. Mr. Cockran began liis’speech in a low voice, but his tones became clearer as he proceeded. His sentiments were liberally cheered after he had warmed to his subject, and his statement that the volume of money does not denote prosperity seemed to meet the approval of his auditors, for they clapped their hand# vigorously. Frequent outbreaks of cheers followeu Lis periods throughout the address. '.’HE SOLAR ECLIPSE. Northern Asia Has B-en the Center of Astronomical Interest. An eclipse of the sun is caused by the moon passing between the sun and the earth, as shown in the accompanying diagram. During the recent eclipse the shadow of the moon first touched this earth at an mmamable town in Russia. Throughout the whole of Europe, except France and Spain, in Asia, above the 35th degree of latitude in Alaska and most of Polynesia / । —sun \ / \ CTWf . / DIAGF.AMOF ECLIPSE. (A. represents the earth. B. represents earth's orbit. ('. represents the moon, and E represents the moon's orbit. G, represents the earth’s shallow that makes an eclijnse far some other planet. the eclipse was a partial obscuration. But there was a favored belt, not more than 720 miles wide at the most, extending from a point in the North Sea across Norway, Sweden, Lapland, Nova Zembia, Siberia, Manchuria and Japan, where the obscuration was total To understand the character of the eclipse, imagine a small, circular, non-lu* minous body intervening between a larger luminous giobe and your eye, and near enough to the eye to obscure the larger body, as a penny held near enough to theeye will hide a silver dollar, or an orangewill shut off from the eye the big glass globe around an arc light The shadow of the orange will be cone-shaped, largo near the -range and narrowing down toa point. So with the sun and moon, and at tlie time of the August eclipse the shadow, which began at the near side of the moon with a diameter equal to the moon's^ was truncated, just before it was narrowed to a point, by the earth, and fell upon t b e earth with a breadth of about 100 miles. It was as if the moon took a monster paint brush, molded it to a point, and, applying a little pressure, drew a narrow black line around that part of the earth which revolved within reach. The black line, or band, or shadow, marked the earth from a point west of Norway, in the ocean, across Norway, Sweden, Finland, Northern Russia and Siberia, the Pacific Ocean, and some of the northern islands of Japan. Os these last it fell upon Soya and the north end of Yezo, Mombetsu and Yubetsu. From Yubetsu it went on, falling upon mountains G.OOQ or 7,000 feet high, and continued over the ocean some hundreds of miles, and then vanished. AVithin this long, hundredmile wide belt of darkness the several observieg parties took stand at different points. The French. Gcrinan-and Italian astronomers made observations from Norway and Finland, near X'aranger Fjord, iat Yadso and X’ardo in Finland. Th* eclipse there.was shorter than at Yezo. XX 7 illiam 11.
