AROUND THE WORLD.
A PrOtracted Bridal Tour that Has Not
Yet Ended.

A Bridgeport Conn. dispatch gives a
brief history of remarkable family, con-
sisting of father, mother and nine child
rem, stopping there temporarily. Mr..
Charles f. Russell, the father, is a gentle
| man of culture. Fourteen years ago he
married Miss Chippendale, of Padding
| ton, England, part Of the marriage con-
tract being that should Providence bless
them with an heir Mr.. Russell would hold
himself bound to take his wife around the
world. About thirteen years ago son
was born, and shortly thereafter Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell started upon the promised
trip. Before the entire circuit of the globe
was made another son was born, and Mr..
Russell felt himself called upon to max e
another slap" He says he has been trav-
cling around the world for nearly thirteen
years, and has made but seven complete
circuits. He and bis family are now on
| their eighth circuit. He says they always
travel westward, seldom repeating the
| sane route. This trip they crossed the
Atlantic to Canada, and are now
on their way to New York. They travel
with as little baggage as possible, one
pOrtmanteau performing service for three.
| The nine children are bright. speaking
most of the languages of the world.
While playing around the room their ut
terances most resemble the dialects used
at the building Of the Tower of Babel.
His accounts of experiences in Japan,
India, Delhi and Barrackpore would fill
volumes. His family have been trans
ported by cars, steamers, elephants,
camels, asses, slaves, junks and gondOlas,
and speak in the most bewildering man
ner of Chinese forts, the Pearl Mosque,
Mohammedan cities, the HindoOs, Paris,
Cairo and New York. Mr.. Russell says
he was originally of the belief that con-
slant travelling through the cities of the
earth would educate his children, but he
is now afraid that ultimately they will all
become tramps. England is his home,
but he has lived so long son the fly" that
he hardly knows how they could ever
settle down.

Fall of a Malt Honsa Wall.

BALTIMORE, March 6.-The rear wall
of the large malt house of Wehr, HObel-
man e Gottleib, on Hanover street, fell
this evening, crushed an adjoining house
and instantly killed John Sauer, an en-
ploye, who was shovelIng grain on the
third floor. His body was found in the
next building under five feet of barley.
The house adjoining was occupied by
Conrad Zeul, whose wife was lying i'll in
the second story, attended by her daugh-
ter. All means of egress were blocked
by barley, and they were rescued after
several hours work. The building was
a substantial structure ard was not
heavily loaded. The fall is attributed to
frost in the mortar, which had thawed
and weakened the wall. The loss is esti-
mated at several thousand dollars.
