HUNDREDS OF SKELETONS
Found in an Old Church. Garret in Nice
France.

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE old Dominican
church at Nice, known as st. Dominic, is
now used as bakery for the French army.
A few days ago, when the architect was
employed to make some examination Of
the roof, he discovered in the garrets
over six hundred skeletons that had
been flung in without order or ar-
rangement. The medical experts de-
clare they must have been buried in
the church three or four centuries ago.
When Nice was occupied by the French
soldiers in 1872 tho monks were driven out
of the church. which was used for military
purposes, and it is supposed that In making
certain changes in the floor the skeletons
were thrown up in the garrets The ma
jority of the bones are those of women, aud
among these there is no doubt the skeleton
of the Dutchess of Savoy, who was buried
in thechurch. All the remains have since
been buried in one Of the cemeteries OF
Nice

New cases at the rate of six per day are

by the filth OF the city. Scarcely a day
passes that dead animal is not dumped

Indications OF Better Times.

Though there is no great stride in
any department of trade throughout
the country, an improvement is re-
ported all along the line. 1t is noted
that good bonds were never higher,
and that in New York city, which
furnishes two-thirds of the exchanges,
the business of the stock exchange is
just twice what it was year ago.
The aggregate of loans of the banks in
New York, Boston and Philadelphia,
June y, were an eighth larger than a
increase in the movement of merchan-
disc. The Philadelphia Press says:
"To-day (June 12) one-ffth more shoes
have been sold in this country than in
last year to the same date; since Sep
TENDER our cotton mills have taken an
eighth more cotton, and stocks of cot
ton cloth are only one-third as large !;
our blast furnaces are in current weeks
turning out from fifth to fourth
more pig-iron; the trunk lines which
carry trade to and from these cities to
May 81 made approximately 81 ,962, 200
from through grain, against 81 ,722 900
in the same time last year, and this is
only one item in railroad business out
of many" The harvests of 1886 prom
Use to be larger than in 1885, and the
probability now is that they will be
marketed at prices higher than those of
the last twelve months. Wool, after
reaching nearly the lowest average
price on record, has begun an advance
on the basis of recent London wool
sales of from ten to twenty per cent,
which can hardly fail to benefit the
wool-producers in this country. The
cessation of tariff agitation in congress,
and the fact that the dangers of a
panic over the silver question are not
considered imminent, will tend to re.
store public confidence in the business
and monetary situation. But for the
labor troubles in the spring, we should
probably have been long way on the
road to better times. But even now al
the indications are very promising fol
gradual, but permanent, revival o.
business.

Democratic Incapacity.

1t will be remembered that the demo-
cratic party in 1884 pledged itself to
reduce taxation and to secure rigid
economy in public expenditures. 1t
has attempted to fulfill the first prom
Use only by the introduction of an i'm
possible tariff bill which has even
failed to satisfy considerable faction
OF its own party. AS to the second
pledge, the first year of democratic
administration finds the country with a
deficit of $22, 100000. The total APP
preparations have been increased from
1887, 100 oil in 1856 to $685., 646, 311 for
1887 Add to this the bills yet to be
passed and the aggregate will reach the
enormous sum of 1884, S5O,332 The
estimated revenue to meet this ire
mendous expenditure is $1,000, 900,
and yet the democratic majority have
proposed a reduction in customs duties
of S25,000,000. The democrats have
not only got rid of the treasury surplus
about which they had so much to say in
1884, but through the shrinkage of the
revenue through business depression
and the increase of expenditure through
their own lack of prudence they find
there is a large deficiency. Mr. His
cock of New York, in recent speech,
with truth declared that "the demo-
cratic party had not redeemed single
pledge it had made, but stood covering
before the country admitting that it
was powerless to lift any burden from
the people; that it had spent all the
money, and empty treasury vaults were
the fruits of democratic victory; and
that democratic congress had been in
session for six months, had accom-
plished nothing, and in these last days
of the session it stood confessing that it
had known nothing about the receipts
of the government and was incom-
petent to carry out any of its promises
and pledges"
