THERE was on the goth all excess of assets

A 81, 100000 Failure at Pittsburgh.
NEW ORLEANS, April II.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, April II.
Great excitement was created here yes
terday over the announcement that the we'll
known and generally supposed to be finan-
cially solid iron-pipe manufacturing firm Of
James Marshall & Co. had made an
assignment for the benefit of their
creditors to George J.. Whitney,
Of this city, and that their liza
bilities would reach fully 1 800, 900, while
their assets would fall short of this about
S250,000. The news that the assignment had
had been made spread like wildfre, and a
short time thereafter was the whole topic
of conversation in commercial and financial
circles. The cause of the failure was a too
reckless speculation in pig-iron. Four years
ago James Marshall, the senior member of
the firm, became imbued with the idea
that a heavy advance in pig-iron would
take place in the near future, and he COM
menced purchasing extensively of that arti-
Gle. Higher prices did not come, but he
continued to buy heavily, thoroughly conf
dent that he would soon realize largely, but
in this he was wofully disappointed. Just
when the market began to look up the long
strike OF last year set in, and this
was followed by a period of dullness, which
was augmented by the uncertainty in regard
to the action Congress would take on the
tariff question. The passage of the bill did
not improve trade, and for months the con-
Germ has been borrowing money on the i'm
mense stock of iron it had in the warehouse
OF the Union Storage Company. Finding
that failure was inevitable, and that the
best they could do they could only stave off
the crash for a time, they concluded yester-
day to make an assignment, and the deeds
were placed on record in the Recorders
Office.

Two Children Burned to Death.
FORT WORTH, Tex, ADJ

FORT WORTH, Tex, April Ii.
"A frlghtful holocaust occurred here Sun.
day afternoon about one o'clock. Pedestri.
ans on the main street observed a dry-goods
box burning in a vacant lot about fifty feet
from the sidewalk. Several stopped to
watch the flames, while others went to the
spot, fearing that a pile of lumber would be
lgnited and set fire to the rear of some store
houses. One man took a long rail to turn the
box over, when he saw a child's foot protruding
from the burning straw in the box. He
called out that there was a child in the box.
which drew a large crowd to the scene. He
succeeded in breaking the box and turning it
over, when the bodies of two white chill
dren about eight years of age were exposed
to view. A bucket of water e%xtinguished
the burning straw around them. It was dis
covered that they were both dead, though
but little charred. Their clothes were
burned off, though they were easily recog.
nized. No one heard them cry. and +
was at once thought that they We're killed
before being placed in the box. The father
OF the little boy, j. L. Howard, was arrest
cd, but afterwards released. Two small
colored boys who were a short time before
seen playing with the children were arrest
ed, but nothing could be learned from them.
Mrs. White, the mother of the little girl.
says the child left her home only a short
time before. The general opinion now is
That the children got into the box to hide
from their playmates, and the boy, who had
cigarettes, in attempting to light one of
them fired the straw, which sutfocated both
OF them instantly.

French Cookery.

French cookery-by which we mean
Partisan cookery, or the art as prac-
ticed there and inthe otherlarge central
cities Of Francois inventive, expert
mental, and, like ancient Athens, a pas
sionate lover of something new. Firss-
rate French cooks originate new dishes,
IA frst-rate French dressmakers set
new fashions. The world can not 90
on everlastingly eating the same thing
or wearing the same costumes. Every
season, for instance, witnesses some
n~ew-fangled salad, ushered in with q
h~igh-sounding name, consisting of an
unusual combination of ingre-
dents, or with some one ingredient,
decidedly predominating. This has its
run at first either in a grand hotel or
a fashionable restaurant, or afterward,
generally, at the best tables through
out the town. The inventor keeps the
secret as long as he can, but genius is
sure to have imitators and plagiarists.
The recipe passes from hand to hand
until the salade a la Gabrielle DIES
trees, grown old-fashioned and out Of
season with the departure of blanched
celery, is dethroned by another salad,
a la bonnie jardiniere, the natural out
growth of cold cooked summer vese-
tables. The same is the Ease with what
would be small side-dishes, had not
side-dishes now gone out of date. Every
cook who respects himself tries to
produce something of his own, bearing
the mark of the master-hand, like a
picture or a newspaper feuilleton. His
pride is to have it said about town
(above all, to get it printed in IL guide
book), ''to have such or such d thing
in perfection you must go to such q
restaurant" Still better, if it be added
you can get some other thing nowhere
else" Occasionally provincial culinary
stars acquire a%reputation which reaches
the metropolis. Having once to visit
%Cherbourg we were strongly recon-
mended on no account whatever to
leave without tasting a certain artists
roast Holsters and also his andouilletles
taking each on separate days, be-
caus both those delicacies enjoyed at
one meal would be too much for NOR
tai palate to appreciate. The same ar
lists peach fritters-another specially,
were excellent, but the first mentioned
preparations were above all praise;
people travelled miles to partake OF
them.-London Society.

At a recent dinner-party there we're
two sisters present, one widow, who
had just emerged from her weeds, the
other not long married, whose husband
had lately gone to India for short
time. A young lawyer present was
deputed to take the young widow i'll
to dinner. Unfortunately, he was un-
der the impression that his partner
was the married lady whose husband
had just arrived in India. The con.
versation between them commenced
by the lady remarking how warm it
was for the season of the year. "1es,
it is warm" replied the lawyer. Then
happy thought suggested itself to
him, aud he added, with cheerful
smile: "But not as hot as the place to
which your husband has gone" The
look with which the lady answered
this lively sally will haunt that nm
happy man to his death.

The Inter Ocean declares that the
Utah Commission has proved failure,
and then goes on to assert that Nor
monsm will not die out in time, as
many argue, for it is increasing more
rapidly than ever. The Mormon pop
ulation is growing more rapidly than
that of the Genties. Every year adds
strength to the Church, and it will
soon control Idaho and Wyoming, as
it does Utah now. The Mormon peo-
pie implicitly believe that the time will
come when they "shall occupy the
earth as the waters cover the sea, and
belief is strengthened by the words
spoken from the pulpit of every Nor
mon church each Sunday.

forces of France and Russia amount to
1889 battalions of infantry, 620 squad

The New York Bridge Panic.
Silver State June lst,

Il Itappears that a panic was created
on the New York and Brooklyn bridge
yesterday, by somebody getting fright
ened and creating the impression that
the structure was about to fall and
precipitate the thousands who were
crossing it into the water below, a dis
tance Of over 1876 feet. Though there
was no danger from that source, as
soon as the alarm was given there was
a general stampede for the New York
end Of the bridge, and in the jam hun.
dreds were trampled upon and several
killed. Panics Of that character are
liable to be Of frequent occurrence on
the bridge unless precautionary meas
ures are adopted. The ferries which
ply between New York and Brooklyn
lose the greater part of their custom
ers, by reason of communication havr
ing been established between the two
cities by bringing the East River, over
which people can walk, drive or ride
by rail. Of course the ferry compa-
MES will do all in their power to make
travel by the bridge unpopular, and it
is not improbable that their agents
created the panic which resulted in the
killing and crippling of several per-
sons yesterday afternoon.
