There are now serious apprehensions
that the Asiatic plague will invade
London this summer, says a dispatch
OF the 9th. Much uneasiness prevails
among people who have been closely
watching the progress of the pestilence.
Accounts OF the serious raVageS of the
scourge IN Spain are tiltering through
to this city by mercantile and private
correspondence and other channels
beyond the control of the Spanish
censors. There is much alarm in the
southern and seaboard departments
OF France. 1t Is considered more than
probable that Toulon and Marseilles

that Paris cannot escape. News from
Madrid Is to the effect that the cholera
Is increasing in virulence at Valencia
Forty-tlve per cent. of those attacked
are carried off by the scourge. \
panic prevails and the people are
fleeing into the surrounding country.
A Paris dispatch says orders have
been sent to form a strict Gordon in
the Pyrenees on official reports of the
spread OF cholera in Spain. The Mad
rid Dla reports the discovery OF three
cases OF suspected cholera in Madrid,
one of which was fatal.
A Madrid dispatch says the cholera
epidemic Is rapidly increasingly extent

towns IN the southeastern provinces OF
SPAN. The peasants continue to
chate under the restrictions imposed
bV t he sanitary cOrdonS and hv thew
willful neglect of the precautions pre-
scribed by the authorities, they invite
and disseminate the disease. The re
port that cholera has made its APP
pearance in Madrid is denied by the
officials, but this was also the case at
Valencia for many weeks and untilfur-
ther cOncealment became impossible.
Some color is given to the report by
the new and stringent sanitary rules
which are being rigidly enforced.

Utilizing a Rainy Day.

From the Lakewood Times and Journal
One OF the most eccentric characters
in his day, in this community, was
Gordon Clayton, of Greenville. He
was fond of hunting and fishing, knew
where the swapping turtle was most
abundant and where the largest fish
lived. Trapping was afavorite calling
with Gordon, and many fine furs came
into his grasp. Many years ago there
came a dull, drizziy day, unfit for
working or hunting. Gordon, always
eccentric, determined that this dull,
and drizzly day might be useful if
properly employed. In word, he de-
cided that it was good day for man
to employ getting married. He ac-
cordingly dressed himself in his best,
procured a span of horses and a
driver, and started for the home of
the young woman he loved. Arrived
there, heentered. and with barely an in
troductory word, said to her: Its
good day for a wedding; let's 60 and

unique and so sudden that the young
woman was taken completely by sur
prise; but she soon found time 10 say
that she had not expected anything OF
this kind-at any rate not so soon
and that she was not prepared for a
wedding. She begged for a little delay
only a few days-in which to get
ready for the nuptials But Gordon
was on matrimony bent, and standing
unmoved by the appeal for delay in
the middle of the floor, he jerked out,
IN his peculiar manner, the three
words: "Now or never
The young woman hesitated a
moment only, when, being as fertile of

ANOTHER DEITGE.
The Vicinity of Atchison, Kas., Visited by
Too Much Water.

\ terrific storm of wind and rain
swept over Atchison, Kas.. and
vicinity, on the 3D. inst, destroying
public and private property to the ex-
tent Of about 100000. All the creeks
overhowed their banks, and cuIverts,
bridges and crossings were swept away
or seriously damaged. The cutters
and sewers could not carry off the
water, and the streets on the lower
levels became rivers. Cellars were
flooded, mills -oopped and business
greatly interrupted. The mayor and
city engineer, after a careful inspec-
tion OF public property, say the dam
age will reach $4,000 on city works
alone, while almost every business
man complains OF more or less dam
age by water.

ing the Probable Death ofThirteen Men.
Fire broke out in the Philadelphia
COlliery, situated near Durham, En-
gland, at noon on the Sd. About $50
men were at work at the time, and it
was feared for a time that all were
lost. There was great excitement, and
the relatives OF the imperiled miners
crowded around the mouth Of the pit
weeping and waiting in the most heart
rending manner: A large force OF men
began the work of rescue at once, and
all but thirteen were taken out alive.
The missing are supposed to have been
killed outright. The explosion, which
Is believed to have been caused by fire
damp, occurred in the top seam OF the
Margaret, or the Peggy" pit, as it is
locally known. After the explosion
water rushed in immense volumes into
the Sutton seam. The miners, men
and boys, in this seam, however, were
all taken out alive.

The Bull Not Taken by the Horns.

ltoT- ticNt4tuu Leader
1t is no credit to a cowboy to catch
a bull by the horns, for he cannot be
thrown by them and is simply held as
a prisoner, but the skill in throwing
the lasso Is to pitch the moose in front
OF an animal when he is going at full
gallop, so that the next step he treads
into it. The cowboy tried it on a bull

along on a dead run. The old fellow

An Earthquake in Cashmere Causes "a
Loss of Many Lives.


Loss of Many Lives.
Dispatches from Bombay of the I'd
state that news has Just reached there
OF a disastrous earthquake in Cash
mere, a country OF India The shocks
were very severe at Serinagur, the
capital OF Cashmere. The barracks
in which several hundred soldiers were
quartered was completely destroyed,
cOllapsing so suddenly that nearly
half the men were imprisoned in the
debris. Fifty are known to have
been killed, while fully 100 were more
or less injured. A portion of the
city was demolished, while very
few OF the remaining buildings
escaped injury, many having
large rents made in them. The people
became panic-stricken shortly after
the disturbance began and fled from
the city taking refuge in boats and in
tents in the open fields. The total
number of killed and wounded is not
yet known nor the full extent of the
damage done, owing to the inter
ruptiOn of theworkingOf hetelegraph
wires. 1t Is feared that The loss Of life
will be heavy as thelates GinfOrmatiOn

hundreds of animals have been killed,
and that the distress among the peo-
pie is very great. Serinagur nearthe
center of the Vale OF Cashmere and the
whole territory experienced the terri
BILE earthquake shocks. The damage
caused throughout the Vale is enor-

TOLD OF 4 TELLER.
The Paying Teller of IA New York Bank
Gone Over the Line.

Richard S. Scott, paying teller of the
Manhattan Banking Company, New
York, is a defaulter in the sum OF
S160,610, and is supposed to be in
Canada at this time. Scott has been
in the employ OF the bank FOR more
than twenty years, and for fifteen
years past has drawn q salary of
$4,000. Heidi not put in an appear
ance at the bank on the morning of
the I'd inst, and a messenger sent to
his house returned with the answer
that Scott was not there. President
Dewitt c. Hays was informed of the
fact at noon, and Immediately ordered
al investigation. When the bank
closed in the afternoon, all the clerks
and officers remained, and the books
of each were examined. When Scott's
books were balanced, the gold coin
and notes needed to make the total
good was $160,6l0, and this amount
would have squared the banks busi-
ness to a penny.

A Brave Girl.

At a recent fire in London three
lives were saved through the heroism
of a servant-girl named Alice Ayers.
The details are terrible, says the Lon
don Times, but the predominating
feeling which they will leave behind
must be one of admiration for the he
roic girl, whose first thought was
for others and not for herself
and who might have made her
escape in safety if she had chosen
so to do, and to leave her masters s
children to perish without help. The
fire, it appears broke out in the mid
die of Thursday night at the house of
Mr. H. Chandler, an oil and color man
Alice Ayers WAS the first to be eawakened
by it and she rushed at once to the
front window and called loudly for
help. The people in the street below
called to her to Jump and save her
self, and they stretched out some
clothing which would have served to
break her fall. The flames meanwhile
had got hold of the inhammable stock
in the shop, and were spreading with
fearful rapidity. But amid heat and
smoke, and with the prospect before
her of death in its most awful shape,
Alice Ayers was not to be daunted
from her purpose. She had formed
her plan and she was resolved to car
ry it through at all hazards. She
first dragged feather bed to the win
dow and threw it out. 1t was at once
caught up by the people in the street
and stretched out below the window
Very soon she appeared at the win
dow again with a little girl in her
arms, and with all care threw her
down on the bed. She was successful
in this way in saving three children
from the flames, the first without any
hurt from the fall, the second and
third with some trifling hurt, for the
great heat and the suffoCating fumes
of the fire were affecting her, and had
made her hold less firm and her aim
less steady. She had now done all
that it was possible for her to do.
more than she could do with care for
her own safety The fire had so
gained upon her that she must escape
at once ii she was to escape at all. She
sprang accordingly from the window,
but IN her nervous and exhausted
state she missed her mark and fell
heavily on the pavement. She was
picked up and taken to Guys hospi-
tai, and there she now lies between
life and death, with her spine dislo-
Gated, and with no hope for her recov-
cry. Such has been her choice, noble
but fatal for herself A tribute of hon
or is all that we can now pay to a
deed of heroism and self-devotlon
which has at no time been surpassed
