Jav Gould's Paper.

As little over five years ago, the
Tribune association had surplus OF
$500 600, and half its original stock
was valued at $5OO,OOO To-day it
has no surplus, and half its original
stock is worth nothing at ALL 1t IS
true that it nominally possesses a
large building and some adjoining real
estate, which are assessed for purposes
of taxation at 100000, and whose
market value is, theref~re, about $685.
900. But as the Mutual Life lnsu-
rance Company has mortgage OF
100000 on the building and Its ad-
iuncts, and as Jay Gould holds S549,-
$50 of building notes, )" f'r which that
structure supplied the security, 1t IS
nla;n that the Tribune associations re-
al estate must figure among its lIabil-
titles instead of it's assets. Mr.. Gould,
having succeeded in exchanging $780,
900 of his building notes for an equal
amount of new stock of the nominal
value of $4,000 a share, now an
aounces that he feels altogether com
Portable over it," That might have
been taken for granted, though it is

The Antecedents of Disease.

Among the antecedents OF disease are
snertness in the circulation of the blood,
an unnaturally attenuated condition OF
the physique, indicating that the life cur
rent is deficient in nutritive properties, a
wan, haggard look, inability to digest the
food, loss of appetite, sleep and strength,
and a sensation of unnatural languor. All
these may be regarded as among the In
dicia of approaching disease, which will
eventually attack the system and overthrow
it, if it is not built up and fortified in adj
vance. Invigorate, then, without loss OF
time, making choice of the greatest vi
talizing agent extant, Hostetters Stomach
Bitters, an elixir which has given health
and vigor to myriads of the sick and de
bilitated, which is ayouched by physicians
and analysts to be pure as well as ettec-
tive, which is immensely popular in this
country, and extensively used abroad, and
which has been for years past one OF the
leading medicinal staples of America.

FIRE.-The alarm from box 16 at ten min

caused by fire in the building on Fore street,
near India, owned by e. L. Stanwood, and &C.
cupied by William Coombs as sailor board
ing house. The fire department was promptly
on hand, but the flames had gained sufficient
Roadway to require such deluge of water as
to materially damage the interior of the house.
The building is worth about $4,000 and is dam
aged about $1,000 Coombs had twenty beds
made up in the house, and estimates his loss on
these and the furni ure at $500. How the fire
originated is not known Coombs, who sleeps
on the second floor, says he closed the doors
and went to bed at half-past nine O'Clock. The
next he knew he was awakened by the break
ing of glass and the smell of smoke. The
room was full of smoke, almost suffocating
him. He and his wife escaped with but little
clothing and none of their effects. There were
fifteen mea and five women in the house, all of
whom got out. One young man, William
Hodgkins, wa badly burned about the face
and hands. The fire caught in the basement,
directly under room occupied by the hired
girls, who were awakened by the flames burst.
