NEW YoRE, February ga shocking
accident occurred yesterday afternoon at
George Blair's packing box factory in York
street, by which woman lost her life
almost instantly. Blair's family occupy the
house at l3 York street, in the rear Of
which extends a long, low shed, which is
used -ss the saw mill. 1t is lighted by
glass sashes placed in the roof and contains
several circular saws for ripping boards
and which are run by steam. One oi these
saws is situated directly under skylight.
About 5-o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Caroline Bernheimer, Of SSS Hudson street,
who had been engaged during the day
washing for Mrs. Blair, was upon the roof
OF The shed taking in some OF the clothes
which had been drying on the lines. No
one in the house observed her at the time.
A sudden crash Of glass, followed
by a cry OF terror, was heard, above
the noisy hum Of THE machinery,
which was then in full motion,
and at the same timethe form Of woman
was seen 10 fall through the skylght and
drop on the table containing the swiftly
revolving rpsaw. Mrs. Bernheimer struck
the table upon her back, the saw penetrat-
ing her body Just below the shoulder
blades and nearly severing it in two, for
the saw projected about SIX inches above
the boards, She lay motionless, while the
saw continued its whirr until'the.man who
was working at the tabe'had recovered his
presence Of mind sufficiently to change the
gearing and stop the machinery. The hor-
ror stricken workmen gathered about. the
table, and, raising thellifeless body from its
resting place, laid it upon a bench. Dr.. Gu
Itch, Of Beach street, was sent for, but his
services were, of course, not needed. She
had evidently died instantly-the teeth Of
the saw having penetrated the heart, and
cut it in two. Her body was aiterward taken
in charge by her relatives with whom she
lived, She was widow, and leaves one
child, a girl'of Syears. - 80

ST.. LOUIS, February 2s.-Mr. Jarrett,
President Of the Amalgamated Iron and
Steel workers Association, was here to-day
and had aconference with committee Of
the union men who struck against re-
South St. Louis, two months ago. but the he
nature or result OF the consultation is not
known. Mr.. Jarrett thinks tho men made
a mistake in not accepting the proposition
OF the Vulcan Company, and also thinks
the company did not treat the men with
entire fairness, and expressed the opinion
that the company's experiment with raw
labor will not prove successful. a On the
other hand, Mr.. Hitchcock, president OF
the Vulcan Company, is satisfied with the
results so far and expects in one or two
weeks to have all departments Of the mill
in successful and profitable operation.

testimony is that the fatal drug was placed in
the medicine cups after they left the dis.

tendants. This Is borne out by the fact
that the doses which proved fatal were
tonics which are extensively used in both
departments Of the asylum. They are
mixed in quantities and from the same
bottles at the same time there were taken

Germany is reassuring the people with re-
gard to American pork, and now only
those who do not read or will
not believe, credit the Government
statement that American pork is hurtful
TO health. But Il the people are deluded
dealers are not. Our Consul at Hamburg
writes 10 the State Department: at is well
known here to some, but not to the masses,
that American pork and hams are import
el, and afterwards branded aud sold as
domestic meats, thereby enabling
sales to be made at higher prices.'
Even this is better than the Eng
lish treatment OF US ut the beginning
Of our export trade in fresh beei. The
English dealer exposed for sale putrid
Eaglish beef and called It American. But
that grovelling dishonesty overreaehed

not pay. Nobody will deny Germsny's
right to put on what duty she plsases; but
the Government policy 10 not duty but
prohibition. It has an equal right to pro-
hibit for protection to the swine interests,
but that Is not the pretext. Germany can
not feed herself and the people will have
swine flesh. They are obliged, therefore,
to buy Of other countries. Only America

Is to be the policy We may not find 1t
