Prime Minister Ferry has abandoned all
hope Of a successful issue of the media

China, is conducting mere platOnic dis
cuSsiOn.

WORTH, THE MAN MILLENER.
The Manner in Which He Cares for His
Sewing Girls.

Sewing Girls.
Worth has a large establishment in the
Rue de la PaiX, says the Paris NesSenqer
where 400 yOuag women stitch, stitch,
stitch, not at all in poverty, hunger and
rags. His employees number 1 200 in all,
and during the Commune, when nobody
ordered dresses or anything else, Worth
provided for 20 of his WorkWOmen,
though, be, too, suffered for want of de-
cent fO9ds " 0rth is English, born about
go years ago in Lincolnshire. Brains
were his only capital. That the man is q
genius in his profession is as evident as
the multiplication table. He Inherited his
ability from his mother, who possessed
excellent taste.
You must rot Judge Worth by all the
dresses made by him, as | used to do. II
a woman insists upon having a fussy,
furbelowed costume Worth is obliged to
make it, however disguised he may be.
''My life is anything but bed of roses, -
he said one day. "What have to endure
from some women is simply incredible,
when it is remembered that they call
themselves ladies' A person sailed in
one day and gave an order, saying: Il
don't like your taste, Mr.. Worth; want
so and sO.' 'Madame,' L replied, you can
have what you want, but Pm quite sure
if l had your taste shouldn't have any
customers.' She didn't mind the sar-
casm. She didn't understand it. What
do women come to me for if they don't
like nv style? That's what they pay for.
Why don't they make their own dresses if
they know so much about it? Another
lady said: You make my Cousins
dresses and 1 don't approve of them, Mr..
Worth Neither do i, madame,' 1 an

mixed up, l can't help it. If you have a
more cultivated eye than your cousin, /

BURIED UNDER A TOWER.
A Noble Man Hurt in a Successful Eff
fort to Save a Train.

A Noble Man Hurt in a Successful Eff
fort to save a Train.
Last night after s O'Clock, as the Chica-
go express bound for New York thundered
out through the south end of the tunnel
through est. Anthony's Nose" On the
Hudson River Road, says a Peekskill, n.
Y. special of Nov. %, the explosion OF tor
pedoes warned the engineer and passen-
gers that danger was imminent. The train
was soon stopped and investigation made.
The violent gale which was then raging
and the splash of thSriver beside which
the train was standing, first suggested
that the track had been washed away, but
the conductor and trainmen soon discov-
cred that the signal tower at Highlands
had been blown down and lay across the
track, and under its ruins lay the body OF
a noble man who had faced death to per-
form his duty. Efforts were heroIcally
made to eXtricate the body, and willing
hands made quick work of it. 1t was dis
| covered that the poor man was still alive.
Removed into the baggage car, all was
done for him possible, and before the
wreck was cleared away he recovered
enough for the train officers to learn some
thing of the occurrence.
1C was gaCnere0 from MS occasional at
tempts at explanation that the gale shook
the signal tower so severely he was sure
it would go over. He went up the road,
set the torpedoes, then returned to the
tower Tor the purpose of attending to his
signal, and was buried in the ruins when
the gale demolished it. How long before
the train reached the spot, and it was fifty
minutes late, the torpedOes had been set
and the tower blown down was not ascer-
tanned. He was removed to the station
when the train reached Peekskill and
placed in physicians hands, his condition
then being no worse than when he was
found, but still it was very precarious.
His constant meanings had been about
his grandchildren, and pleadings to know
of the train officers if he had done all
right,

Reduce tn Number OF it's Employee
Iron Men More Confident.
GONKERs, n. Y, Nov. 20.-Alexander
Smith & sons extensive carpet mill here
was shut down to-day and will not resume
for an indefinite time. The mill is one Of
the largest in the State and employs be
tween 5000 and 1900 hande, with a
monthly pay roll of about Sl50,000. The
shut down is no surprise to the hands,
and it has been expected since their
wages were cut down 10 per cent. some
weeks ago. The suspension is due to the
depression in the trade, and the fact that
the mills have been running on full time
when other mills were only running on
three.quarters time.
COMPETITION CAUSES CUT.
EAsTON, PA, Nov. 29.-NOtice was
posted at the Warren foundry at Phillips
burg, y. J., to-day, announcing that on
Monday the wages of all employees will
be reduced 10 per cent. The foundry en-
plOys about 800 men. all working on full
time. When asked for the cause of the
reduction one of the officials said: "We
had TO cut wages because others did, and
in order to compete with other manufac-
turers."
TO GO DOWN : PER CENT.
BosTON, Nov. 29.-The BigelOw Carpet
Company at Clinton, which employs 1000
hands, will On Dec. 10 reduce the wages
Of its operatives on an average of per

tiOn Of 10 per cent. III wages is announced

IRON MEN MORE CHEERFUL.
PITTsBURG, Nov. 29.-The general feel
/ ing among business men is daily growing
more hopeful. Some large orders for
railroad supplies have been placed this
week with manufacturers, and bids for
/ others have been asked for. The feeling
! among iron men is decidedly better on
/ account of the receipts of fair orders for
/ the product OF their mills.
RAILROAD RETRENCHNIENT.
/ The general officers of the Pennsylvania
/ Railroad Company controlling the Pitts
/ burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago, Pittsburg
and Lake Erie, Cleveland and Pittsburg,
Indianapolis and NIncennes, and other
railroads, are in consultation here to-day
on the proposed reduction of the force.

will be no cut in wages, but that a reduc-
tiOn in the number of employees on all

tiuued dullnesS of trade.

The Electoral Board Bill Passed Over
the Governors Veto.
RICHMOND, VA, Nov. 29.-The General
Assembly to-day passed over the Cover
noPs veto the electoral board bill. This
is the second time this year that the Leg
islature has had to do this, the Court of
Appeals having decided the first bill
passed last winter to be unconstitutional.
The committee which has been investi-
eating for some time past charges against
Attorney General Blair of eXacting lille
gal fees from the State, submitted its re-
port to-day in which, among other things,
they disclose the fact of the discovery of a
defalcatiOn in the Office of the Auditor of
Public Accounts, the books in that office
failing to show proper credits for taxes
paid by the Clerks of the County Courts
on law processes. The amount involved
so far is $1,000, but if these Irregularities
show up in the same proportion in all the
counties, the amount will reach 100000.
CHIEF CLERK SMITH SUSPENDED.
AS soon as the discovery of Irregulari-
ties was made known to Auditor Marye
he suspended his Chief Clerk w. r.
Smith, who had charge Of the books in
which the entries Of the payments named
should have been made, and who audits
all such accounts. Smith has been
in the auditors office over
twenty years. He claims that a full
investigation will establish his innocence
in the matter. The Legislature has ap-
pointed special committee to make q
thorough examination of the Auditors
office after the adjournment sine die,
which will take place Monday.

HE is COMPELLED TO ASSUME
THE DEFENSIVE.

Little Chance that the Relief Exposi-
tiOn Will Reach Khartoum Before
February-A Jesuit Priest Goes to Ell
Mahdi to ask the Release of Captive
Catholics.
LONDON, Nov. 29.-Private letters have
been received from English officers who
are stationed at Wady Halfa which say
that there is considerable sickness preva-
lent among the men forming the Nile ex-
pedition. Whale boats have been forced
up the Nile at an incredible cost of time
and labor. The letters also say that Gen.
Wolseley intends to abandon the river
route and try land march from Debbah.
The collection of munitions of war and
provisions for the army at Dongola is
so slow that an advance on Khartoum
is considered improbable before February
next. 1t is reported at Wady Halfa that
Gen. Gordon and his force are in the most
imminent danger from want of munitions,
and that he has been consequently obliged
to withdraw his advanced lines of mines
in order to act strictly on the defensive.
The Jesuit priest VincentiVi has left
DOngola upon mission to the Mahdi to
obtain the release of several priests and
sisters of charity, who have been de-
tanned at Ell Obeid.
Gen. Wolseley has applied to the War
Office for more troops and officers. The
ATDly and Nary Gazette says that he ur-
gently demands 80 subalterns. The au-
thOrities do not know where to find
them.
LETTERS FROM GORDON EIGHT WEEKS
OLD.
DONGOLA, nov. ga messenger from
Gen. Gordon, who was reported yesterday
to have reached Merawi, has arrived here.
He brings dispatches from Gen. Gordon
eight weeks old. After leaving Khartoum
the messenger was captured, and was de-
tanned for some time at Shendy.

Revenue Reformers to COnfer-An Early
Adjournment Possible.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-There is no
warrant for the statements telegraphed
from here to the effect that there will be
no tariff legislation this session. There is
as yet no way of ascertaining what the
Democratic majority in the House pro-
poses to do this session, tor less than a
third of all the members Of the House are
now in town. Neither Speaker Carlisle
nor Chairman Morrison, of the Ways and
Means Committee, nor Frank Hurd have
yet arrived. They are all expected to-
morrow, when a conference of the
revenue reform leaders may be
held, and some plan of action
in regard to the tariff question may be
adopted. Until some such conference has
been held, it is idle to predict what will
be done this session. OF course there
was no foundation for the interview with
Speaker Carlisle telegraphed from here
last night, in which he was made to say
that there would be no tariff legislation
this winter. Speaker Carlisle was in
Kentucky last night. The members are
talking tonight chiefly about the prospect
of an adjournment of Congress early in
December for the purpose of attend
ing the New Orleans Exposition
in body. They say that the Senate,
which has very little pressing business,
would like to take such an adjournment,
but that the Appropriations Committee
shows a disposition to keep the House
busy until the regular holiday recess.
Many members will go to New Orleans
whether special adjournment is had for
that purpose or not. Meanwhile they can
only guess at the course of legislation
during the coming session.

The Inauguration Hop apt not to be
Danced in the New Pension Building.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-''I see by what
the newspapers say" said Gen. NJ. c..
Meigs, who has charge of the construc-
tion of the new pension building to a re-
porter to-day, 'that the people are bound
to hold the Inauguration ball in the new
pension building. Now it will be impos-
sible to get the roof upon the hall in time
for that. Bricks cannot be laid in freeZ-
ing weather, for the mortar would freeze.
The cOstracts call for the completion Of
the roof in time for the ball, but ! expect
the work will soon be arrested by the
weather. The Office rooms are ready now
to be rooted and some of the irOnwoTk for
the roof has arrived. But" continued the
General, "the ball can be held there if
the managers will pay the expense of
putting up temporary roof and laying a
temporary floor. The hall of the pension
building is 116 by BIG feet. It's walls are
now 7S feet above the floor. A canvas or
tent roof and a temporary floor might be
made to convert this into a ball room for
a temporary purpose. There are IS rooms
on the lower floor already closed and
floOred, which could be used for refresh
ment and cloak rooms. L nave talked
with the Secretary Of the Interior,
and he is anxious, if possible, that the
rooms shall be made ready. l will do all
that can be done, but l cannot command
the weather"

AT THE STATE CAPITAL.
A Chapter of Accidents Incident to the
Democratic Jubilee.

ATLANTA, Nov. 29.-The registration
books for the municipal election which
comes off on Wednesday next closed to-
night. About 1000 registered, 80 per
cent. of whom are cOlored.
AT the bar meeting this morning consti-
tutiOnal objection to the creation of a
Court Of Common Pleas for Atlanta was
raised that such court would have final
jurisdiction, and that there could be no
appeal from the Common Pleas Court to
the Supreme Court. A committee from
the bar was appointed to confer with the
judiciary Committee of the House.
Two plans to relieve the Oyercrowded
dOckets of the Superior Court are men,
toned, one to make Fulton Superior Court
separate circuit itself, and taking Clay
ton and DeKalb to adjoining circuits, or
to establish a Criminal Court for the trial
of misdemeanors solely, and thus leave
the City Court to try civil cases not eX-
clusively triable in the Superior Court.
JUBILEE SORROWS.
A chapter of accidents connected with
last nights jubilee came to the surface
to-day. Some of them were quite serious.
A. &. Ladd, while walking on the side
walk in front of the capitol, was struck
on the head by piece of glass that fell
from window above and received pain
ful if not serious wound. Small frae-
ments of broken glass are scattered in
his head, and these the attending physi-
clans are to-day trying to remove.
Fred. Cullen, Macon hotel clerk,
caught in the eye ball from Roman
candle and may lose the use of the optic.
During the pyretechnic display sky
rocket was touched off before it was
placed in proper position and went flying
down Marietta street, striking j. T.
Beauchuamp i'll the groin, cutting an ar
terry and intlicting painful wound. At
O'Clock Beauchuamp was well enough
to be removed to his boarding house.
A SHOWER OF GLASS.
While Augusta's big cannon was belch-
ing forth in front of the capitol last nj ght
each discharge was followed by shower
of glass from windows, and people below
were badly cut by the falling fragments.
The cannon was ordered spiked into si-
lence and the order prevailed, but before
the cannonading ceased a great deal of
damage was done. Several windows
connected with the Executive office
were smashed. One of the
large windows in the Treasurer'S office
and another in the State Library We're
broken. 1t is estimated that the DANA
ges aggregate Sl00. which will have to be
footed by the State unless the city can be
forced TO pay the amount. The city
claims assessment on the paved streets
about the property of the State, and the
State may deduct the damage done last
night from the assessment. The United
States building opposite and many houses
in the vicinity sustained similar damage
from the firing of the cannon.
