IKS LIFE BURNED AWAY.

Terrible Fete of t- Chicago Laborer Who r*X Into a Pit of Slack Lime. Patrick Ease, a hod carrier, fell into a pit of slack lime he was preparing at the yard of Robert Borland, plasterer, and died short time ago, He was a stalwart Mailman, 84 years old, and possessed a record of unbroken good health, but on the day tho accident occurred ho complained of a sick headache. At the close of the day's work his employer asked him to prepare some lime for the next day's work.

Kane at first declined on tho plea that he was ill, hut was finally persuaded to resume work, None of the laborers were abont the yard when Kane began working the lirao, and his employer wort back to tho office to calculate estimates on some jobs to hand. Abont 7 o'clock Kane, who felt weary, and tired, leaned heavily on the mixer with which he was stirring up the lime. The plank on which he stood had been thrown carelessly across the corner of the box. His weight turned it over, and before he could regain his balance or titter a cry for help fell foil length into the boiling, bubbling lime.

He sank down, no part of his "body escaping contact with the burning liquid except his loftana and the npper partoJL),' his face. Kane was a strong man. and though half blinded by tho spooks of lime that flashed up from the box, and suffering horribly from the mouthful of fiery liquid he had swallowed in his fatal plunge, he crawled slowly ont, staggered a few paces and then fell prostrate on the sand heap, where ho was found a few minutes later by his employer!

From his shoulder downward the lime had eaten into his clothing and was slowly making its way through the flesh of tho unconscious man. The soles of his boots had dropped off, and his trousers, from tho knoo down, hung in shreds from his slowly consuming limbs. The skin on tho upper part of his right arm, which was bared to the shoulder, had been burned away, and the muscles and tendons had succumbed to the destroyer.

The nails of the fingers had dropped off almost immediately after coming into contact with tho lime, and the hand was tightly clinched, as if to conquer the maddening pain. The liquid crept slowly but. relentlessly through his shirt, eating its destructive way and frightfully scorching his chest and bade. The man ww a mass of burning flesh and lime, and when Borland, his employer, found him on the sand heap the fatal lime had effectually don© its deadly work.

Borland rushed for tho hose pipe, and attempted to check the of destruction by deluging &«ft> wiih cold water. Thc®, despairing of the man's life, he carried him to his buggy, with the lime eafrn clothing still clinging to Ms body, and drove tho injured man toom©* For a week Kane hovered between life and death,

None of the sufferer* seen by Dante during Ms journey through the Inferno could ever have endured thoawfnl agony experienced by the dying hod carrier as the limo fairly scorched its way through his lungs. The sears on his body and limbs were hideous enough, but all chance of recovery was destroyed by ihe awful fire raging within.

Kane bore his sufferings with the fortitudo «f a stoic. No word of complaint ever crossed his lips, and he showed no sign of the great agony ho Mt except to lay Ms uninjured hand on his toeom «ad murmur,, "My heart is burning away." Tho fiery fluid released Mm after a week's suffering, and Kane passed awav unconscious of thc approach of aottth.-CbicHgo Herald.

Mr. Albrccbl Tell* of thi AdT»«« the Dry (J»odi Trtdf —Carpets H«r« Com fP

Pric* At**'

A NEWS' representative called on several of the prominent business men this morning for the purpose of making inquiries regarding advances in the price of articles which are attributable to the McKinley tariff measure. Democrats and Republicans were interviewed and the information was jnot sought from a political standpoint, The information received is plain fact.

W. H. Albrecht, $ the dry goods firm of Espenhain, & Albrecht, opera house block, gave some interesting information for the ladies, especially. On being asked if the McKinley bill had caused advances, Mr. Albrecht replied i» the affirmative. He first called attention to plushes which have advanced from 10c to 12|c per yard. "I have a large line of plushes here, said Mr. Albrecht '%nd the prices have advanced on all such goods. Plush garments, cloaks, etc., are of course correspondingly advanced. Imported ltnbroideries have also gone up in price. Henrietta cloth has been marked up. I have Henriettas *thafc I purchased at 524 cents per yard. The same cloth will now cost me from 62h cents to 67* cents pcryani. When such an advance takes place the merchant is forced to advance the price and the purchaser must pay it. The merchants could not sell Henriettas purchased at the advanced price for the same that he has been selling them in the psst. "Foreign hosiery has advanced considerably. Low grade linens have also been aitecM- Table linens, crashes, etc., have advanced from 20 to 25 per cent. Linen handkerchjf/s have been affected to some extent. French and woven corsets have also advanced. "Pearl buttons," said Mr. Albrecht, "Why, low grades can scarcely be reached with a pole? Prices are|almost out of sight. Low priced kid gloves have been ected. Gloves that I have been accustomed to purchase at §7.25 now cost $8.25."

In speaking in a general way of the advances, Mr. Albrecht said that we were bound to

be initiated

into the new order

of things. It will require some little time to become accustomed to it Many have not read the tariff bill and others have not paid much attention to it, but Mr. Albrecht said the public will gradually find that prices have gone up in consequence and that they will have to pay the increase. He further stated that if the knowledge of the provisions of the McKinlej bill were general, there would be a general understanding of the reasons for the advanced

occurredjwjveral days ago. A customer in conversation with him was informed thai an advance had taken place in a certain lino of goods. "Oh, yjr," she replied, "the new tariff biH increases the tariff on the article." There are many who are not so well informed and will not understand the situation so readily.

CARPETS GO UP.

Interview* With Three Carpet Bonse Proprietor*. Charles Brokaw, of Brokaw Bros., to a N«ws reporter said that he had received a circular stating that an advance had taken place on Brussels and all imported carpets. He also said that a second circular contained the information that an additional advance would be made, including all woolen carpets. He attributes the advance to the increased duties under the McKinley bill.

E. M. Walmsley was called upon. He said that he had received notice that the price of carpets bad advanced and he supposed it was duo to the McKinley bill, although he did not quite see why the advance should take effect immediately inasmuch as there was a large stock of carpets in the country. Some manufacturers have already advanced prices while others se^ve notice they will advance. The advance affects carpets, woolens included.

A. Z. Fosrer also received circulars stating that the price of Brussels and woolen carpets had been advanced and will still go higher. ..

Some of the firms advancing prices are Sloan and Higgins, both of whom are estimated to oe worth in neighborhood of $10,000,000 or $15,000,000. These are the men who are benefitted by the increased duty under the McKinley bill. JohnWauamaker, of the administration, is also a «rpet dealer and has advanced price* with the rest,

true the prices of imported Key Wsst Hgnrn, imported winas and brandies, velvet carpets and lace curtains have advanced. It is also true that sugar, tea, coffee, rice and manyjother necessaries of life are cheapened. A NEWS man obtained the above from some of our leading merchants. A leading groceryman on Main street said about the only thing in the entire line of staple and fancy groceries that would increase in value, were imported fish, sardines, cheese, French peas and such luxuries that a poor man seldom buys. His opinion of the bill, judging only by its effect on the commodities handled by him, was that it would more than oflset in cheapened groceries the increase in clothing and other necessaries. We will all understand these things later on when each sees lor himself how it affects him.

FARMERS' MUTUAL BENEFIT ASS'N-

Ttoe Organisation Hold# a Protracted (Session and Electa Officer*. From 10 o'clock%a. m. yesterday, until lato in the evening, the Farmers' Mutual Benefit Association was in session at the court house. The forenoon session was devoted to the collection of dues and the issuance of receipts as guarantees of good standing. There are fifty-two lodges and the above work was tedious and prolonged.

After dinner the session was resumed and the work of electing officers was carried out with the following result

President, V. 3. Ward, Harrison. Vice-president, Thoina# Hook, Linton- .» Secretary, Adrian Beecher, Plewon. 4^ Treasurer, Alexander Bogew, Rtloy.

The secretary-elect is his own successor, having filled the office since the organization of the order in this county. The state convention will be held Tuesdav, October2lBt,!at Washington^Daviess county. Delegates to the convention were elected yesterday as follows: H. C. Robinson, Sugar Creek George Peters, Pierson C. T. Cook, Lost Creek Marion Lightner, Prairie Creek John T. Wibel, Prairieton S. J. St. Clair, Honey Creek Alexander Rogers, Riley Leander Davis, Nevine Joseph Hecklen, Sugar Creek William Pngb, Fayette Thos. Hook, Linton John Haaelberger, Otter Creek P. J. Ward, Harrison.

The apportionment of delegates in the ratio of one to each 150 members of the association indicates that the F. M. B. A., in Vigo hss a membership of 1950. The report of the secretary was to the effect that the order is constantly enlarging its membership and is in the very best financial condition. One fact tbat is quite significant, is that the officers elected yesterday, the president and secretary are Democrats, the vice president a Republican and the treasurer an Independent.

Ho Is an Old Timer.

The hawk that breakfasts up on a cable of the East river bridge near the New York tower was a little early yesterday morning. This made him the more deliberate in his movements. As usual he had his pigeon with Mm, and as usual he devoured it and picked the bones. Several hundred people watched this early morning meal with an interissfr

He is rather large for a pigeon hawk, but often brings with liim a breakfast larger than himself. His brown plumage is as fresh and his flight aa steady as it was eleven years ago. This year heappeared a week ago. Ho sometimes prolongs his stay until nearly spring. John O'Brien, who is well known abont the docks under the bridge, has shot at Mm many a time in former years, and numerous other attempts upon Ms life have been made. But nothing seems to disturb his serenity, and Ms love for tha bracing air and fine scenery has overbalanced all considerations of prudence. ^Lr-New York Sun.

The Emperor William has never yet received a more delicate compliment than that paid him by the king of the Belgians, who vacated the royal chalet at Ostend in Ms favor, and allowed the imperial standard of the Hohenxollerns to replace for twenty-four hours the national tricolor. At the last moment the projected military display in the streets and the presence of the Gorman consuls at -he wharf were abandoned, but the first visit of the impetuous ruler of Gurmany to Belgium created, on tho whole, a very favorable impression.

Tha unwieldy Hobenroflern experienced some difficulty in approaching the limbing stage, but King Leopold, who, like Ms brother and nephew, had donned the somewhat unpicturesque uniform of the Prtnaian cavalry, lessened the tediousness of the wait by conversing wifiU his guest across tibe bulwarks In uttntorian tones.

This hawk is an anci^pt inhabitant of this part of the country. In the autumn eleven years ago he was noticed day after day hovering about the scaffolding. Sometimes he would sit there in the forenoon and breakfast on a pigeon or some other bird. Sometimes he would fold his wings about him and gasie dreamily out on the harbor, oblivious of the noise of bridge building beneath Mm. Every fall since then the employes of the bridge have noted his return. When the scaffoldings fell awarr he selected a perch on the cables. With natural taste he chose the New York end of the bridge. He has never been known to alight on the Brooklyn tower or in its vicinity.

A Shark In Long Island Sound.

A shark was seen near the mouth of the harbor between the breakwater and Lighthouse Point Thursday morning, and it was believed that sever&l of them were running about there. A thrasher about fourteen feet long waa seen outside the breakwater a few days ago. The latter fish is of theswordfish variety and is seldom observed in the sound, frequenting waters where the whale found. The swordfish and thrasher are natural enemies of the whale, and their combined attack is sure death for the monster of tho seas.

The thrasher is also known as the fox shark and as the seal fox. It is very much like the shark, but is larger. In attacking a whale the swordfish stays underneath, and with his sword prevents the whale from obtaining refuge at the bottom of tho sea, while the thrasher jumps out of the water and strikes with great force on the top of the enemy.— New Haven (Conn.)

LONDON, October 15.—Contradictory reports as to the course taken by and present whereabouts of Dillon and O'Brien are set afloat to baffle the pursuit and checkmate Balfour. Some have it they are still in France and have been staying at Rffiieovitch mansion, the former home of Mrs. O'Brien, near Puis, that they landed on tbe French coast too late to catch last Saturday's steamer Labourgogne, at Havre, and are now waiting for the Labretagne, which sails next Saturday. Others say tbe men are already half way across the Atlantic and the first heard of them will be their arrival in New York. It is safe to say they are secure from pursuit or from arrest, as extradition Droceedings cannot lie against political offenders in either France or the United States. i'w-

PARIS, October 15.—Lapresse says O'Brien and Dillon returned to Paris last night but their address in that city is kept secret. If news from America is favorable to the Irish mission to that country they will sail for New York at the end of the week. If it becomes manifest they intend to remain in Paris the government will request them to leave.

TIFPKRAKY, October 15.—Counsel Healey has received a telegram saying Dillon and O'Brien arrived at Cherbourg, France, to-day. Their yacht was delayed by a fog and the weather and by the necessity of avoiding tho English coasting vessels. Mrs. O'Brien leaves Dublin tonight to join her husband. The party will sail tor New York from Havre Saturday.

At the trial to-day, evidence was piven to show the defendants had used influence among the tenants on tbe Smithbarry eBtate. to induce them not to pay rents. Objection of Counsel Healy against receiving the evidence that the defendants had visited the tenants with John Kelly was overruled. The Crown counsel said ttie" object of the evidence was to connect Kelly with the O'Brien and Dillon part^of the conspiracy.

THE ENGLISH MARKET-

Unprecedented Fluctuation* in Consols. LONDON, October 15.—The Standard, referring to the fluctuations in consuls says it has not been equaled since the Crimean war, and adds* "The argument tbat the market is unsound is plausible but shallow. Consols are weak for the same reason, inscribed stocks are weak because they are now among syndicate securities. Mr. Goshen has dislodged them from investment nooks and crannies, where they had been stored for perhaps generations, and the masses of stock thus thrown upon the world have never found a home again. Dear money and higher rates of interest obtainable elsewhere have compelled or tempted temporary holders to sell.

The Times gives similar reasons.
