In one block of warehouses in Pm

In one block of warehouses in Phils-
delphia are stored 10000 barrels OF
whiskev, and a curious statistician has
been trying to figure ont the number OF
good old fashioned DRINKS there is in the
lot. 1t is estimated that there are
million and quarter gallo MS, 10000, 600
pints This would make so, 900, 900 drinks
of one-half gill each. One-half pint will
make an ordinary ma drunk, so there is
enough whiskey there to intoxicate the
whole male population of the United
States. And yet this is only small part
of the quantity of whiskey now on hand
in the country, not to mention wines ana
beer. Still a good many people, want
the internal revenue laws repealed and
this flood of fire water let loose on the
people, at what may be considered merely
nominal prices-Sdpannah Ne,cs.

SIXTEEN NPASSENGERSI INJURED
An Express Train on the Baltimore & Ohio
Road Wrecked In PennsYlyania.

A frightful wreck occurred at the
Bluestone quarry, on the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, near Pittsburg, Pa, on
the morning of the 18th The through
express from Baltimore to Pittsburg,
consisting OF a sleeper, two coaches,
baggage and one express car, ran into
a misplaced switch and was completely
wrecked. At Bluestone quarry the
track makes sharp curve around the
YoughiOgheny River a short distance
back from the banks. There is q
switch at the commencement of the
curve. Whether some one had left the
switch partly open or not is not yet
ascertained. The result was that the
engine dashed along the ties, tearing
up the track and causing the coaches
and sleeper to break loose and dash on
over the embankment III the widest
confusion. The sleeperrolled over and
over and stopped with its side lying in
the bed of the river, thirty feet below
The two passenger coaches stopped at
the waters edge The baggage car
went into the water. There were many
passengers on board, sixteen OF whom
were more or less hurt. A messenger
was sent to Connelsville for medical
assistance, and in a short time corps
OF physicians was sent up on a special
train. After dressing the wounds OF
the injured they were removed to the
hotels at COnnellsville,

TO CAPTURE NANDAL4I.
The British Expedition Ordered to Start at
Once-Theba w's Dacoits.

Calcutta advices OF the 18th state
that Lord Dufferin, viceroy of India,
has ordered Gen. Prendergast, COM
mander of the Burmah expeditionary
forces, to invade Burmah forthwith
and proceed with all haste to capture
Mandalay. The British forces will
now cross the frontier Immediately.
Recent dispatches from Rangoon state
that the inhabitants OF districts in
British Burmah where no large garri-
sons are maintained are greatly
alarmed over reports that King The
haw has subsidized l 3, 200 DacOits to
cross the frontier and begin plundering
and numbering at the first noteof war.
Dacoits are robbers who work in large
gangs, and are noted for their bold ex-
ploits. Having neither baggage nor a
commissariat, these bands travel with
marvellous speed, and it Will be hard
for the British troops to catch them.
The British troops will mass at
Thayetmio, and thence make an at
tack on Minhla, where the Burmese
troops are arriving. Reinforcements
have been sent to Loanghoo, which is
menaced by force of 5000 Burmese.

Lawyer Purdy's Scare.

From the New York Tribune.
Assistant District Attorney Purdy
was for three minutes yesterday one
OF the worst scared men in the city.
He had in his possession the two
checks for $71, 800 and $4,000 re-
spectively drawn on the First Nation
al bank the day before the failure.
Mr.. Purdy took them to the court
room and laid them on the long table
near him, while Ward sat not far away
at the end of the table. Mr. Purdy
moved away few feet, and a few
minutes later saw Mr.. Nicoll, with
nostrils distended in terror, looking
the picture of distress. Mr.. Purdy
hastened to him and asked, What s
up?" "Those checks, where are they ?"
exclaimed the other. Mr.. Purdy
looked around. The checks were not
to be seen. He glanced at Ward.
Ward looked dunconcerned. Mr.. Purdy
thought Ward had swallowed the
checks. "My hair stood on end, y
said Mr.. Purdy later to a reporter.
81 thought; after all this labor, am !
to be done for in this manner? That
rascal has stolen the checks looked
at the Judge and was about to do
well, hardly know what, when Gen.
Tracy opened law book, and turn
ing to me said: Are these your checks p
There they were, sure enough, all
right. He accidentally shut them in the
book; that book might have been sent
back, and to my dying day l would
have believed that the checks had
been spirited away. l haven't fully
got my breath yet"

and the cheeks quiver as with sup
pressed emotion. | can't show you
my arm here. Can't you believe me ?"
No; the doctor cannot and will not.
The girl sees there is no use, and re-
luctantly begins tugging at her waist.
Down it comes from the neck, the left
shoulder Is exposed, then the arm.
The doctor evidently is not satisfied.
'When We're you vaccinated?"
'Two years ago"
Scar is not fresh enough" says the
doctor, and again out comes the
scarifier and vaccine. A scratch and
scream, but the physician is not
daunted and continues the work, with
out flinching, very gently, but with the
air OF a man who thoroughly under
stands his business.
There, that will do" he says, and
the girl, replacing her wardrobe, sinks
back in her seat, while the doctor,
passing on, is heard to remark; "She
had never been vaccinated."

1T IEAS TIE CAT.
Handsome Residence in Auburn, Ill
Blown to Atoms by Nitro -Glycerine


Blown to Atoms by Nitro Gly cerine.
Albert Jones, an experimental and
progressive farmer OF Auburn, ILL.,, ac-
companied his family on a neighbor-
ing visit, on the 18th inst, commit
ting the premises to the keeping of a
playful cat and litter OF kittens, for
getting that cats are not familiar with
the uses and abuses of nitro-glycerine.
About B O'clock shock and a thun-
dering detonation alarmed the village.
The house and contents were scat
tered IN fragments over an area 500
yards square. Half the original height
OF the four walls was left standing,
with sawtooth and splintered fringe
all around the irregular top of the OBJ
long. Two beds were found several
hundred yards apart, one in the road
IN front OF the house. A sewing-m ma
chine was buried head first in the
flower garden, and broken chairs,
tables, pictures, dishes, wearing ap-
parel, and various household articles
were strewn about the place. Last
week, Mr.. Jones procured a can of
nltro-gl glycerine for the purpose of ex-
perlmenting on obstinate stumps which
successfully resisted the customary
assault. This he placed alongside
the nursery-box of the family tabby.
Near by stood a table occupied by
books, playthings, sewing utensils and
the like. The cat, being playfully dis
posed, often leaped upon the table and
forgot her maternal anxieties in gay
revel with ball of yarn, or any other
pllable thing that caught her Juggling
fancy. While Mr.. Jones and a circle
OF friends were viewing the wreck,
wondering how under the sun the
nltro-gl ycerine could have been ex-
ploded, a faint, sickly "me- ey-yow"
was heard. 1t was repeated, and with
a favoring breeze, was finally waited
from the top OF an elm tree about fifty
feet away. Perched in one of the up
per limbs, the family cat was discov-
cred. A small boy climbed up and ex-
trlcated her. An examination re-
vealed the fact that her right fore-leg
was broken, but she had suffered no
further injury. The kittens were all
killed. Mr.. Jones at once concluded
that while tabby was disporting her
self on the table, she jostled to the
floor some object sufficiently heavy to
cause conclusion, and that the ex-
plosion resulted. The loss is about

As we halt for a moment at Sutton
Junction the train is boarded by DR..
Hamilton, of Richford, Vt, whose busi-
ness it IS to examine all passengers
bound for Uncle Sans domain, with
view to the vaccination OF all theun-
vaccinated.
Having finished with the passengers
in the smoking car, the next car, filled
almost entirely with ladies, is visited
by the doctor. Here begins the fun,
those tight fitting sleeves cannot be
pulled up, and mayhap the certificate
has been left at home; yes, it has, honor

rey, on the charge eofindecently ASSAULT
ing Eliza Armstrong, took place on the
10th at the Central criminal court,
London. The prosecution announced
that all the charges against Bromwell
Booth had been withdrawn, and that
the conspiracy charge against the de-
PENDANTS had been abandoned Eliza
Armstrong testified regarding the al
legged indecent assault on her, the evil
dence so far being a repetition of her
former statements. The jury re-
turned a verdict of guilty of in
decent assault against all four OF
the prisoners. The justice then passed
sentence on the prisoners as follows:
Mr.. Stead, three months; Rebecca Jar
rett, six months, and Sampson
Jacques, one month-all without hard
labor-and Nine. Louise Mourey six
months with hard labor. Mr.. and Mrs.
