LONDON, February THE Arabs deny
chat General Gordon has been made q
% dsoner, and state that he was killed in
action, having refused to give or take
quarter. No trustworthy intelligence,
however, has yet been received as to Cor
dol's fate. The spy service organized by
Lord Wellesley, and now directed by Col
-0nel Wilson, has misled the commander
throughout the campaign.
Thcro is q strong opinion at the War
Office that General Gordon was killed. 1t
is stated on good authority that some time
ago General Gordon warned Lord Wellesley
that he (Gordon) was in danger of treach-
cry. Il was ON this account that Lord
Wolseley expedited small force across the
Bayuda desert with orders to make all DOS
,sible speed in reaching Khartoum
Dispatches from Korti received to-day
indicate very serious state of affairs at
the British position near Metemneh. Lord
Wolseley telegraphs to the War Office
that courier who has just arrived from
Gubat reports Colonel Coscowyer, the CON-
fna1der at that place, seriously i'll, and
sthat tho Mahdi's forces are preparing to at
) tack the British camp. The Arabs have
several heavy guns, which are being gra-
: dually moved up SO as to bear on the BIZ
ltish camp, and other field pieces are being
manoeuvred for the same purpose.
NATIVES report that the Mahdi has $4,000
men scattered between Berber, Shendy,
and Metemneh, and that the force at the
latter place is daily receiving reinforce
sments.
Adyices from Gubat, dated February 1,
give gloomy statements about the condition
OF General Stewards little army there. The
men had been placed on three-quartars
rations. These had, however, been once
supplemented with dole OF beans and
some fresh meat The camels, however,
had plenty Of forage.
a second despatch received from Stew
arts camp at Gabut, whence it was for
warded ON February l, states that Colonel
Wilson had on the island where he was
stranded, $50 refugees whom he found
along the banks Of the Nile. near Khartum.
The Gubat camp has been greatly strength
.ened. The troops are in good spirits.
Intelligence has been received that FL
Mahdi had threatened to attack the camp
mith an overwhelming force.
A despatch from Merawl says: The
Black Watch and the Staffordshire regi-
xaents have passed the Bahami Cataract
on their way they destroyed the houses of
Suleiman Wad Gamz, the murderer of
Colonel Stewart and party. The rebels
abandoned the Shakook Pass, and much
ammunition and grain were found there.
The Cornwall regiment are now passing

p. r.. RS strike at Reading.

PHILADELPHIA. February THE Penn
sylvania Railroad Company has begun q
desperate warfare against the Reading
Railroad in coal prices The recent reduc-
ton of from twenty-five to fifty cents per
ton in coal prices will compel the Reading
to meet that price, and this means re-
duction of fully ST, 800, 900 per year in the
revenues of the latter company. The
Pennsylvania has also begun to sell an
thracite coal on the line of its new road up
the Schuylkill Valley, and this will be a
serious blow to the Reading, as this line
trade was the very cream of. its coal bust
ness. When the Pennsylvania line into
the heart of the anthracite region has been
completed it will be able to injure the
Reading more than now.

About q Medal.

Rink and Roller, a journal devoted to the
interests of roller skating, some time ago
offered an elegant gold medal to be awarded
to the best two-mile skater in Jersey City.
The Alpha Rink, in good faith, accepted
the medal, and offered to race for it.
The race came off last Thursday night.
Unfortunately Rink and Roller left the mat
ter in the hands of one @. Bedford Allison,
who acted as referee. His decision showed
clearly how much he understood about the
amateur athletic laws. His ruling was
farce, prompted, not by any unfairncss,
but simple, unadulterated ignorance.
Several protests reached Rinlc and Roller
and upon their face they showed that one
of tho contestants had been unfairly dealt
with, but as the referee decided it was ssno
race the decision must hold good.
The medal, which is an elegant gold
trophy, beautifully engraved, is now in the
possession of NJ M. WE'LL, of this city, to
be raced for. Alpha Rink is invited to
race it again. If not, any one of the other
Kinks can have it.
The conditions are that ii must be won
three consecutive times before it becomes
the absolute property of the winner.
Rink and Rollers editors are anxious to
have it fairly won. The medal can be seen
in the window of Marshall l. Balls cloth
ing store on Newark avenue.

AriZOna's Name.

The name OF Arizona was not bestowed
through any poetic arrangement of Indian
or Spanish names, but is derived from
"Aridus" and "zona." Aridus, dry-fronl
"arco," to be dry. From this root also
comes the word "arid," which signifies dry
exhausted of moisture, parched with heat
as, for instance, an arid waste. This is
without doubt the root of the prefix (Ari)
of the word Arizona. There is no diff
Guilty in the way as to the suf1ix. That is
plain enough to any one who has studied
word analysis. "Zona," or "zone," simply
means girdle or belt. Hence we have
the different zones or belts ON the earths
SUBJECTIVE frigid. two temperate and one
torrid-to mark the average heat from the
sums rays upon certain portions of the
earth. Hence the suffix "zone," or .'zona,"
and we have tie entire word Arizona,
whose meaning is simply "a dry or parch-
ed belt of country" This name, however,
is misnomer SO far as the greater portion
Of Arizona Territory is concerned.-A,r-
soxa Sentinel.

ENTONBED WHILE YET ALIVE.
Two Remarkable Cases Recently Re-
ported.

Mary Cox, well-known and popular
young lady, VINO lived near the mouth 81
the Little Cupon river, near Springfield
West Virginia, was taken violently i'll, and
the physicians decided that she was suffer.
ing from neuralgia of the stomach. he
prescribed morphia A dose was admins
tered at onre, and another left. will, in.
s,ructions to give it in twenty.four hours.
For some reason the second dose was
given in short time. An hour or two
afterwards the death of Miss Cox was an
nounced. and two days later the body was
buried. At the funeral one lady said that
Miss Cox was not dead, and begged that a
physician be sent for. That night the dogs
Of man living near the graveyard sta
toned themselves near the tomb, and kept
up persistent bowling. Next day the
grave was opened, and to the horror of all,
it was found that she had been buried
alive. The lining was torn from the cas-
ket, and the pillow was in shreds. The
poor girl had literally stripped the clothes
from her body. Her hands and arms were
torn and bleeding; her lips were bitten
through, and handfuIs of hair were torn
from her head. The girl had come to life,
and had evidently made fearful struggle
to escape. The awful affair fills the COM
nunity with horror.
An old resident of Lcadville, Colorado,
named Jesse Spies, died, as his friends,
supposed, at cabin on tine Sag"achc
range, some distance from that town, last
week. He was getting quite old, and had
been ill for some time. A coffin was pro-
cured, and the body dressed for burial and
placed in it, but, to the horror of the assem-
bied ,nourners who had surrounded the
CHASTITY corpse, which they were about to
deposit in its last resting place, the body
began to show signs of life, and presently
sat upright. The supposed dead man
seemed as much bewildered as were his
friends at the situation of things, and at
tempted to get out of the coffin, but he was
too weak, and fell to the floor. His friends
placed him in bed, where he remained for
some time, talking and gesticulating in an
irrational manner. He finally ceased his
incohcrcnt chatter, closed his eyes, and APP
parently died a second time. His breath
and pulse ceased for some time, and he was
again placed in the coffin. After good
deal Of hesitation and discussion and con-
siderable delay, the body was pronounced
dead and ready for burial, although it
seemed very slow in giving up its natural
warmth. The remains, however, were
buried, and the friends separated. Strong
doubts Of his death were entertained by
some Of the party, and the body was dug
up and the coffin opened day or two
later, to- put the minds Of his friends at
rest. On raising the lid Of the coffin it
was found that the body had moved, and
showed unmistakable signs Of terrible
struggle after it was encased and buried.
The lookerson were horror stricken with
the consciousness that they had buried
friend alive.

Bitter Bread.

Complaint is frequently made by
those who use baking powders that
they leave in bread, biscuit and cake
raised by them 3 disagreeable, bitter
taste. This taste follows the use Of all
impure baking powders. and is caused
either by their containing alum (intro-
duced to make a cheap article), by the
impure and adulterated character 81
other Ingredients used, or from the ig.
norance of the proper methods of COM
binlng them. These baking powders
leave in the bread q residuum formed
Of lime, earth, alum, or other deleteri-
Gus matters, not always. though fire..
quently, tastable in the food. and by
all physicians classed as injurious to
health. The Royal Baking Powder is
free from this serious defect. In its
use no residuum is left, and the loaf
raised by it is always sweet, light and
wholesome. and noticeably free from
the peculiar taste complained of. The
reason Of this is because it is composed
Of nothing but absolutely pure materi-
ais. scientifically combined in exactly
the proper proportions Of acid and al
kali to act upon and destroy each 9th.
er, while producing the largest amount
of raising power. We are justified in
this assertion from the unqualified
statements made BY the Government
chemists, who after thorough and ex-
haustive tests recommended the Roy.
al for Governmental use because Of
its superiority over all others in purity,
strength, and wholesomeness. There
is no danger Of bitter bread or biscuit
where it alone is used.
