A Panic Among the Cheese Consumers

Yesterday there was considerable ex-
element on Carson street caused by a
man who sold microscopes at one dol
lar apiece. The little instruments were
all that was claimed for them and their
nlagnifying power Was something mir
aculous. For Il simple, compact and
effective instrument they in all respects
filled the dill.
"look here, gentlemen" said the
vender, "here Is a piece of cheese from
one of your grocery stores. ] run IA
little on the lerse and what do you see?'
Those who held the instrument to
their eyes were astonished at l,ehulling
swarlns Of crawling insects, apparently
about the size of u Gold Hill bed bug.
They We're decidedly alive and those
who looked vowed never again to eat
cheese in any form. VII: Muller, hear
ing of the microscope man, tOnk some
around to have it analysed
che most careful inspection failed to
reveal any bugs or crawlers Of any s.,rt
xnd Muller in huge disgust telegraphed
t. his iinberger agent not to sehd any
more like it, rs when he paid rs cents

BURNED TO DEATH.


The Yolo Mail gives the following &C.
| count Of the death of one of the women
engaged in battle with kerosene
lamps, which was published in the AP-
PEAL some days ago. Both women
formerly lived in Carson:
Gussie Carlton, the woman who was
So frightfully burned Tuesday morning,
died very peacefully Tuesday evening
between five and SIX o'clock. Her de-
mise WIS 50 quiet that it was almost
impossible to tell when she passed away.
Early III the forenoon Drs. Rose and
Clark informed Gussie that her injuries
were SD serious that she could not pos
sibly recover. The woman Immediate
~ summoned an attorney and priest.
To the former she submitted her last
will and testaEent, leaving all her
property to her only child. The child
is the offspring of dead husband, and
is some years of age. Tie priest re-
ceived her last confession and auminis-
tered the usual spiritual advice and
comfort. AT one o'clock GusSie became
unconscious, and continued in that con-
uition until death IT leased her spirit
from her burned and bruised body.
Fanny Ogden, the injured companion
of Gussie Carlton, is, up to the time of
going to press, still alive, though suffer-
ing intensely from her burns. The
physicians say tina. the chances
are against the Ogden woman living,
every effort will be made 10
save her life. The woman bears her
pain with much fortituue and clings
to life with Il great deal of tenacity.

THE DOWN RIVER FLOOD.

East st. Louis Threatened with Submergence
ST. LOUIS May 4.-The situation in East
st. Louis is becoming more and more critic
al and unless the river ceases to rise, of
which there is no immediate hope, the en-
tire city will be submerged. Everything
possible is being done to prevent this by
strengthening and elevatng the dykes and
railroad entertainments, but these have been
surrounded by water so long they are more
or less soaked and the pressure in places is
so great, there being from two to thirty
feet of water bearing against them, that the
probabilities are there will be several if not
numerous breaks, and that the whole CITY
will be engulfed. A break is already report
ed in the Ohio and Mississippi embankment
Of that railroad about mile north of the re-
lay depot and the Vandalia track is flooded
for some distance. Many of the people have
already left East st. Louis and others have
moved themselves and their household eff
fects to the upper stories of their dwellings,
Some merchants are moving their goods to
this city, while others are piing them upon
high shelves or storing them on the second
floor. Several of the railroads have taken
their movable property from their yards on
the Island and some decline to receive any
more freight at present.
