PARIs, June 1l.-A terrible acci-
dent occurred at Theirs, manufac.
turing town in the department Of
Puy de Dome, yesterday. A large
crowd had gathered in the Court
House in that placs 70 listen to The
evidences Of . murder trial In pro-
gress. The jan in the court room
was 60 great that many could reach
no farther than the stairs. The
staircase soon became packed, and
while men and women were jostling
one another in vain efforts to get
near the trial room. the stairs, with
out a moments warning, gave way,
carrying down hundreds of people
to the floor below. Here an inde-
scribable scene took place. Men
fought and scrambled their way out
over the bodies of those who lay
beneath, while the agonizing shrieks
of the wounded rent the air. Men
ard women were piled one on top
of another over ten deep, and many
of those underneath were crushed
to death or suffocated. The police
aid, instantly summoned, and as
sisted by number of volunteers,
soon restored order, and at once be-
gan the work of rescue. Some of
the victims were pinioned by the
fallen timbers, and considerable diff
ficulty was experienced in extricat-
ing them. Twsnty-four people were
killed outright and some one hun
dred and sixty-three injured, many
of them, it is feared, fatally. The
accident has cast a gloom over the
town.

New York, June 13.-Andrew
Carnegie, Pennsylvania's iron mil
lionaire, has undertaken to hasten
the requirement of definite knowl-
edge of Asiatic cholera, in order that
a cure for the disease may be ascer-
tanned, if possible, by the time the
disease reaches this country. His
especial desire is that the theory OF
bacilli, together with vaccination as
a preventive, may be scientifically
tested under the best circumstances
Mr.. Carnegie gave $4,000, some
time ago, for the erection and equip
ment OF laboratory at Bellevue
Hospital. Apparatus of the most
approved kind for the Study of bac-
terra, and the artificial development
of disease germs, has been put in.
This is now in use for the mastery
of the cholera. a
An importation of genuine chol-
era matter, of various kinds and in
different stages of progress. has pro-
vided the materials with which to
experiment. Under the direction
of Doctor Biggs, u professor in the
Bellevue Medical School, the germs
of the expected disease we're arrang-
ed tubes fer cultivation. Some of
the most powerful microscopes that
can be made are used in studying
the changes. The intention is TO
utilize the new Spanish method OF
vaccination.

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboring organs. At times,
symptoms of indigestion are present,
as flatulency, uneasiness ofthe stom-
ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, is COM
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and
Itching Piles yield at once to the APP
plication OF DIR. Bosanko's Pile Rem

parts affected absorbing the Tumors,

LOUISVILLE, KY, June 11.-At 10
o'clock this morning three boys
swimming in Bear Grass creek dis
covered q barrel containing the head
less corpse of q man. The head had
been cut from the body with Jag
ged instrument of some sort and the
aruo and legs were also chopped of
and packed in the barrel along with
the body but the head was no where
to be found. There was every evil
dence of q foul murder, and the po-
lice are actively at work upon the
case. Thus far nothing has been
unearthed that will lead either to the
identity of the corpse or furnish q
clew to the murderer. The crime
from all indications. must have been
committed within twenty-four hours
prior to the discovery of the body.
The barrel bore no mark and had
evidently been carefully selected by
the murderers for this purpose. The
body, from all indications, was that
of a man of middle age, with small,
soft hands, and small feet.

Gladstone and Earl Granville An.
nounce the End Of Their Rule.

LONDON, June 1.-THE Marquis
of Salisbury has consented to form
a ministry, with Sir Stafford North.
cote as Chancellor of the Exchequer.
1t is stated that a message from
the Queen has arrived for Sir Staf-
ford Northcote. Mr.. Gladstone an
nounced in the House of Commons
this afternoon that he had resigned
his Office that the Queen had accep'
ted his resignation and that Her Maj.
esty had informed him that she haG
summoned the Marquis of Salisbury,
the leader of the opposition in the
House of Lords, to Balmoral for the
purpose of entrustipg him with the
formation of a new Ministry. Mr..
Gladstone, continuing, said that uu-
der the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the outgoing government,
be would, q little later, propose that
the House of Commons adjourn
until next Monday. The question
had arisen, be protested, whether it
would be best for the public con-
venience and interest TO go on with
the pending legislation concerning
the redistribution of seats bill. The
present Government would only do
So with the consent of the House
He did not believe that any differ
ence Of principle in respect to this
important measure could now posi-.
bly, arise between the parties, and be
reminded the House that the Gov,
ernment ard the opposition were
both under compact regarding the
redistribution bill. 1t would, how.
ever, be gratifying TO himselfand his
colleagues in the retiring Cabinet if
before they ceased their public du.
ties, they could regard the bill u.
sealed and delivered.
Sir Stafford Northcote, on behalf
of the Conservatives, responded that
his party desired to proceed with
! the redistribution bill as rapidly
rs possible. There was no rea.
son why the amendments made
to the bill by the House of Lords
should not at once receive the assen,
Of the House Of Commons, but the
question Of these amendments wal
in this peculiar shape--the amend
ments were not yet printed-anj
he thought it desirable to have them
printed before formally acting OF
them.

Husr1sGpoE, June 14.-Peculiar
methods have been used in carry
ing on the extensive Illicit trade in
whisky which has dennoralized the
laborers, DELAYED the workand caused
the contractors so much loss on the
eouth Pennsylvania Railroad. Some
of those engaged In the business
boldly peddled the whisky around
among the men, but the most usual
way was for those wanting it to
place their bottles and money on 4
stump and then to 60 off short dis
tance out of sight. On returning
they would find the bottles filled
and the money gone, There were
stumps all long the line that mys.
teriously swallowed up the coin and
poured ont whisky.
At other places shanties, one and
a half or two stories high, were built.
The lower story was open to the
public and the second was occupied
by the proprietor, who was unseen
by and inaccessible to those below.
Through little hole in the wall an
elevator or dumb waiter could be
reached, on which the money and
and bottle would be placed. The
customer would then put his mouth
to the hole and hollow "Moses" to
the man above, when the dumb wai-
ter would ascend and shortly after
ward return with the bottle filled.
The United States authorities are
determined to break the traffic up.
Deputy Marshal Beegle, of Bedford,
has the names of many of the deal
ers, in addition to the II already
taken, and will arrest them as soon
as they can be found.

Fire At shippensburg.

SHIPpENsBuRG, June 14.-The
most serious fire this place has had
in many years occurred this even
between 4 and 5 o'clock. The Pres
byterian Church (probably the finest
Presbyterian church in the Cumber-
land Valley was found to be on fire
on the roof on the west side, while a
high wind was blowing from the
northwest. The fire department,
which consisted of two hand en-
gines, was taxed to its full capacity /;
but as the wells and cisterns in the
neighborhood afforded the only sup
ply, nothing could be done TO stay
the flames. and the whole structure
was laid in ashes. A wooden dwell.
ling house on the opposite side of
the street took fire from the church
and was also burned to the ground,
the fireman not being able to protect
it owing to the steeple of the church
threatening to fall in that direction.
A stable in the vicinity caught from
sparks, and was so speedily envelop-
ed in flames that valuable horse ID
it could not be rescued.

New York Sale Of FlanneIs.

New YORK, June 10-The second
heavy sale of flannel goods making
10000 cases in all-iook place to-
day. Buyers were present from
East, West, North and South, and
European houses also had their rep
resentatives to note the spirit of the
sale. The most undesirable goods
on the catalogue were ratified of a,
24G5 per cent. below former figures
On the better class OF fannels the
bidding was lively, and lots were
knocked down at about yesterday
prices, with plain whites showing an
improvement. Considering the
enormous offering. the sales were re-
garded as very satisfactory, and
coupled with the sale a few days
since of 10000 packages cotton goods
abundant evidence was afforded thai
the country is pretty bare of both
cotton and wooden goods, and thai
the tide has turned for the better.

an official notification that Mr.. Cat
lett Gibson, democrat, had been ap.
pointed his successor, has written a
letter to President Cleveland inform

he wishes to be informed of the
causes of his removal. Mr.. Wad-

Famine in West Virginia.

PARKERsBURG, June THE sit
uation in Jackson county is becom-
ing quite serious. Hundreds of fam
lilies are on the verge of starvation,
and unless aid is speedily extended
by the remainder of the State or the
outside world, the most disastrous
results may be expected
Some of the more fortunate and
influential people of the county
and others who believed the condi-
ton of the inhabitants exaggerated
have heretofore denied the reports
from time to time made public, hop
ing that things could be tided over un
til a new crop could be raised, but not
much alarm prevails and public
meetings are being held in all the
villages and the local papers are
printing appeals for aid. Last week
meetings were held at Whitepine
and New Kentuck, at which scores
of citizens representing their respec-
tive neighborhoods testified as to the
extent of the famine, many pitiful
stories being told.
Hiram Cobb. owner of mill, said
people would come at the rate of a
dozen day, after walking distances,
begging for pint or quart of meal,
and sometimes bringing half peck
of grain or few ears of corn to be
ground. He knew men who had
gone for five days without food. and
be himself would soon be sufferer.
John H. Gorrett said his neigh
bors were actually starving. John
Smith, County Assessor, said that to
his knowledge 900 families were in
danger of starving at New Kentuck.
An appeal for aid was signed by
representatives of 100 families.
These are but specimen stories. One
family is said to have subsisted for
five DAYS on lettuce, and when found
were nearly dead.

TEE tip OF the Washington mon
ument was struck by lightning for
the third time since its completion
on Saturday last, a forcible remind
er that the great altitude of the
structure win expose it frequently
to such disruptive discharges Of
electricity. The Nelson Monument
in Edinburg suffered a like stroke
in 1863, but it has since apparently
escaped injury from thunderbolts.
Though ascending lightning is occa-
sionally observed, the electric dis
charge usually strikes from above
The disintegration of stone receiv-
ing the discharge is due to the ef-
feet of induction, which occurs SO
instantaneously that the particles OF
stone "a very poor conductor) cannot
quickly enough accommodate them
selves to the new distribution Of
electricity. 1t will probably be
found that the point of the monu-
ment attacked by the lightning was
the uppermost strip of phosphor
bronze in the vertical joints Of the
pyramidal roof.

tions of the eighty-eight counties Of
the State were all full, and about
1000 persons were packed in the

Guernsy county, was announced as
temporary Chairman, and address
ed the Convention. Referring to
the outcome of the late Presidential
election Mr.. Taylor began his adj
dress by saying: Since you last
met in Convention the most anom-
alous event in history has transpir-
ed in our country. By a combina-
ton of crimes, accidents and blum
ders this Government, with all its
great interests. has passed out of
the control of the party that saved
it from treason and disunion into
the hands of the party which,
through its leaders, sought for five
long and bloody years to tear it from
its proud position among the nations
of the earth and hurl its discovered
fragments into the vortex of anarchy
and dissolution. This crime of
crimes, condoned by the over-mag-
nanimity of the Republican party,
unatoned for and unrepentee of by
its chief participants, rears its head
again in the Government at WASH
ington."
In conclusion the speaker eaid !:
"We will carry Ohio this year, and
the country in 1888 as sure as
J the stars are in the armament above
if Republicans do their duty. Even
now the reverberations of victory
are rolling in from the prairias of
Illinois, where the grand old hero,
John A. Logan, has taken the long
contested fort. Take that struggle
as your inspiration, and you will
achieve a victory in October that
will shake the continent from the
mountains to the sea. Ohio is ever
and must be a Republican State.

The Moneyed Capital bill has
been amended SO that if it becomes
Q Law the taxes on mortgages, and
evidences of Indebtedness and mon.
eyed capital will be three mills on
the dollar, instead of four as now,
Il is probable that the difference in
the tax rate will be more than made
up by the greater thoroughness with
which the tax will be collected on
debts of record, the bill containing
provisions for catching all that kind
of property that cannot be easily
evaded if the assessors make any
pretence Of doing their duty.
