Abba, Iowa, is excited over prop
osition made to her citizens by the
Quincy & st. Paul r. r. to extend
their line to Abba, and locate their
repair shops in that place, if the citi-
zens viii donate $4,000 to the road.
AS the proposed extension would
give the town o direct connection
with st. Louis by a short line, and
the money is not to be paid until the
road is actually built and running to
the town, and the repair shops erect
ed, the proposition is. s.certainly very
liberal one, and no doubt will be ac-
cepted. The saving in freights,
caused by competition between the
two lines of railroad which the town
will then have, would alone amount
in few years to the sum asked for,
to say nothing of the great benefit
to the town from the location of the
shops, and the increased business
which will result from the supply OF
the operatives and their families.

Newspaper Failures.

Rowell's forthcoming Newspaper
Directory" shows the failure of over
1000 newspapers in this country during
the past year, the loss to publishers,
subscribers and advertisers amounting
to ever $8,000,0O0, the Republic, of
New York, alone losing half million.
Among those who went into the news
paper business and lost heavily thereby
were two hundred and seventy-fve mer-
chants and adventurers, three hundred
and fifteen schoolteachers, fifty-seven
lawyers, four blacksmiths, thirty-three
plasterers, ten farmers, two hundred
fanatics of various classes afflicted with
literary lesion, one hundred ambitious
but visionary young men who drew upon
their fathers, and thus suddenly ex-
hausted large margins of the paternal
capital, and six lottery men.

A Desperate Fight.

Edward Clark and Michael Mack,
masons, fought on scafold on o
three-story building in Trenton. Covert,
the foreman, went up to separate them,
and in the tussle the three were pre-
cipitated to the ground, thirty five
feet Eight feet of the wall gave way
and fell with the men, burying them
beneath it. The men were extricated
unconscious and fearfully mangled.
Mack's right leg was broken above the
knee, and he had many cuts about the
body and some internal injuries. His
recovery is doubtful. Clark's right leg
was broken, and he had fearful cash
at the back of his head. Covert sus-
tained broken arm, and many cuts
upon the head, and was bruised abont
the body.

IN ADVANCE.
The Loss OF the Schiller.

The following statement appeared in a
New York paper. The fact that the loss
OF the Schiller would put large sum of
money in the pockets of her owners was
brought to our knowledge. The posi-
BILE inference to be drawn from this fact
was, however, so frightful that we made
no allusion to the matter. That brave
man like Captain Thomas, who died at
his post, should have wrecked the ship
willfully is simply Incredible. So far as
he was concerned the fact that the loss
of the Schiller brings her owners $780,
900 must be regarded as mere coinci-
dence. The public, however, cannot
help remembering the disclosures as to
shipwrecks made by Mr.. Piimsoll, and
will ask whether company which is in
a position to make money by the loss of
steamer would be as likely to inexora-
bly, insist Upon every possible means of
safety as company whose steamers were
not insured would be:
AS the lost steamship had not reached
her dock in Hamburg, according to the
articles of agreement drawn up between
the Eagle and the Hamburg lines, FORM
ing the consolidation, the Schiller still
belonged to the old line. The owner
ship was to change after her arrival and
discharge at that dock. She was insured
in companies in Hamburg and London
for her full value, and that amount will
be distributed among the owners of the
Eagle line. Private telegraphic dis
patches were received by the agents of
the two lines in regard to their relations.
The old Hamburg line agreed to pay the
Eagle line So, $50, 900 for its steamships
and property, exclusive of the docks and
buildings at Hoboken. The receipts
were to be given for the vessels, and the
money was to be paid when the steamers
should arrive at Hamburg. The wreck
of the Schiller has prevented the fulfill
ment of the agreement SO far as the de-
livery is concerned, and $3.50, ,000-the
amount at which the Schiller was put in
the schedule-is to be allowed for her
loss and deducted from the amount
agreed to be paid by the Hamburg line.
Instead, therefore, of the sum first
agreed on, $2,800, 900 will be paid to the
Eagle by the Hamburg line. and the in
surance of $500, 900 will be received by
the former The stockholders of the
Eagle line will there (inless the matter
shall be disputed in the courts) gain
$950,000 by the wreck, for they will re-
ceive 100000, instead of $3.50, 900, as
arranged by the terms of consolidation.

Threatening to Shoot.

One of the stories in General Sher-
mans new book illustrates the lax
notions of discipline that prevailed after
the first Bull Run. An officer in Sher-
mans brigade coolly told the latter he
was going home, as his term of service
had expired, although he had not been
mustered out. cold Tecumseh' re-
piled that if he undertook to leave, he
Sherman, would "shoot him on the
spot" Sherman has a way of looking
as though he "meant business, and the
officer did not start, but the same day
Mr.. Lincoln visited the brigade. The
rest of the story we give in Sherman's
words:
In the crowd saw the officer with
whom I had had the passage at reveille
that morning. His face was pale, and
his lips compressed. foresaw scene,
but sat on the front seat of the carriage
as quiet as lamb. This officer forced
his way through the crowd to the carri-
age, and said: "Mr. President, I have
a cause of grievance. This morning l
went to speak to Colonel Sherman, and
he threatened to shoot me-" Mr.. Lin
coin, who was still standing, said:
"Threaten to shoot youG" " Yes, sir,
he threatened to shoot me-" Mr.. Lin
coin looked at him, and then at me, and
stopping his tall, spare form toward the
officer, said to him in loud stage whis
per, easily heard for some yards around:
"Well, if l were you, and he threatened
to shoot, I would not trust him, for l
believe he would do it," The officer
turned about and disappeared, and the
men laughed at him. Soon tho carriage
drove on, and, as we descended the hill,
I explained the facts to the President,
who answered: "Of course / didn't
know anything about it, but 1 thought
you knew your own business best" l
thanked him for his confidence, and
assured him that what he had done
would go far to enable me to maintain
good discipline, and it did.

A XOman's Story.

The probability that even the fullest
published list will not contain the names
of all the victims OF the Schiller disaster
was made apparent by the story of a lady
who called at the Office of the company
in New York. Two young men from
Breslau, she said, had been boarding
with her family in Hester street for tho
seven or eight weeks before the Schiller
sailed. 1t was their first home in this
country, and as their search for work
was unsuccessful, and their funds were
running out, they decided to return to
Germany if they could obtain free pas
sage. Accordingly they went to Hobo
ken, and on narrating their case to Cap
tain Thomas, he consented to accept
their services as deck hands. Their
names we're Herman Baumgarten and
Richard Norwach. The former had q
wife and two children, whom he intend
ed to surprise by his unannounced re-
turn. The agents know of eleven such
men who were received by Capt. Thomas
on like conditions. Their. names will
not appear in the lists either of passen-
gers or crew,

Western Winter Wheat.

The american Miller, of Chicago, es-
Inmates that the shortage in the winter
wheat crop of Minnesota is more than
equal to the total receipts of spring
wheat at Chicago and Milwaukee for the
year 1874. This estimate the st. Paul
Pioneer Press doubts, although admit
ting that the cold raw weather of the
backward spring has had an undoubted
effect upon the value of the wheat. The
destruction by cold and frost has been
immense, but the damage is not really
as great as claimed. In regard to spring
wheat, the Pioneer Press says that the
seeding is about finished, and although
the weather is not propitious for germi-
nation, the splendid wheat soils of Min
nesota have never yet known such things
as rot or failure to quicken. February
has been known to produce good crop
in August but late sowings, like those
OF this year, have uniformly returned
the largest increase. If the grasshoppers
do not eat up the new verdure, as it is
now pretty sure they will not, and if the
heavens do not utterly refuse to send
down their early md latter rains, the
present late season will be god-send to
the farmers, and not disaster, as seems
to be the popular idea.

The Yellow Fever.

Much of the terror inspired by yellow
fever, says the report of physician de-
tailed to examine into it, is due to the
mystery which conceals its origin and
progress. In 1873 it was the cause of
1897 deaths in the United States. Dur
ing the same period of the year in which
it prevailed, there occurred from the
group of malarial fevers, 5000 deaths,
and yet there was no panic in any city
on account of these latter fevers while
in several large cities, and indeed
throughout large portion of the coun-
try, business was paralyzed and COM
merce almost suspended by the lesser
rayages of "Yellow Jack" In respect
to the popular fear inspired, yellow fever
and cholera are near cousins. From the
beginning to the end of the cholera epi-
demic in 1873, it caused 1926 deaths,
while during the same period there died
10000 persons, in round numbers, from
diarrh@a, dysentery and cholera infan-
tum. 1t is not even known that the
annual death-rate is materially increased
by these dreaded scourges.
The only practical lesson taught by
the epidemic of 1873 is summed up in
two words General sanitation. In this
are included thorough cleanliness, pure
air, unpolluted water, wholesome food,
and individual hygiene. "No partial ex-
clusion will suffice to prevent an explo-
sion when the mine is ready, as it was in
Memphis and in Shreveport, for months
before the spark was applied. And no
multiplication of the spark will create an
explosion where the explosive elements
are absent, as was abundantly proved at
Mobile and at New Orleans" No meas
ures can prevent the introduction of
yellow fever germs along the coast be-
tween Key West and Brownsville.
"Once introduced into a community
living under the semi-tropical sun of a
Southern summer, with defective sewer
age, imperfect scavenging, polluted
water supply, neglected cloace, and in
Vidia a6sit, with the lowered moral as
well as physical tone these conditions
inevitably produce, an epidemic of yell
low fever is no more to be wondered at
than is any other natural result the effect
of sufficient cause" The truth of the
foregoing remarks upon the Importance
of general sanitary measures and indi-
vidual carefulness of general health is
well shown by comparison between the
experience of New Orleans and Mem
phis. In New Orleans, city of nearly
100000 inhabitants, 3S8 cases of fever,
against 1000 cases in Memphis, with
less than $4,000 people the latter city
being under poor sanitary rules.

Some Pork Figures.

The American swine trade, or, as it is
called at the West, the hog crop, has
swollen to enormous proportions, the
annual product having risen from 1, 1872,
846 hogs packed in 1852 to 5,537, 124
packed in 1874-5, and the total of twenty
six years being IA, 157, 1872. All this is
the result of the immense extension of
railroads at the West, on which it is esti-
mated that the expenditure was $780,
10000 year prior to the panic of 1878.
Chicago is the great center of the pork
trade, having packed the last year
1890, ,34S, while Cincinnati packed $780,
164, st. Louis 462, ,246, indianapolis
278, 1884, Louisville 27S, 11S, Milwaukee
24S, 1877. The total value of the hog
crop, including pork and lard, was
$63, 1877, 215 in 1884, and $97, 1898, S26 in
1S74-5, an increase of 1888, ,511, ,611.
