Shore road tonight and was met at the

headed by Mr.. Frank Murray. He was
quietly escorted to the Grand Pacific,
where he was received by Patrick Egan,
Alexander Sullivan, Daniel Corkery and
several other gentlemen. During the
evening committee of ladies
from the St. Joseph Orphan
Asylum waited ON Mr.. Davitt and
requested him to visit the West Side
Driving Park in the porning and make
speech. He kindly but firmly told
the ladies that he could not speak at
any place but Ogden Grove tomorrow.

He said the same thing to Rev. Father

Yesterday morning as gravel train
had just left the Tujunga gravel pits and
got into the main track aa axle of one
of the dump cars broke and before the
train could be stopped six or seven cars
were of the track. At first it was
thought the engine with the train would
get the wreck Strengthened out. but at
IL o'clock SO little progress had been
made that wrecking train was sent
out. 1t was after Ar. NJ. before the up
bound passenger train got away from
this depot. 1t was nearly before the
south-bound passenger reached the
depot. There was no one hurt in the
smash-up. Next week will finish the

WASHINGTON, August l3.-The even
ing Star has the following; 1t is said
that Treasurer Jordan contemplates
sending in his resignation. 1t is also
sa that he does not quite agree with
Secretary Fsirchild on financial questions.
He was very much opposed to the ten
million dollar bond call which was Issued
yesterday. His policy which, it is de-
clared, Secretary Manning would have
carried out. was TO call in no more bonds
than the law required for the sinking
Fund. FaircBild is also radical in his
ideas on this subject, and it is thought
that as long as be remains at the head OF
the Department he will act upon the pol
ICY indicated by yesterdays call. In
that case it is asserted that Jordan will
resign as soon as he becomes convinced
that Mr.. Msoning will not resume his
place at the head OF the Department.

shrugged their shoulders. The American
population Of this city is becoming
aroused to realization OF its utter help
lessness In case trouble ensues. No
town on the border is so completely at
the mercy of Mexico as Laredo. There
is comparatively but a handful Of Amer
leans here, and few men could sack
and burn the town without the least
trouble. There is no organization
among the Americans and their resi-.
dsnces are scattered all over the city,
making them an easy prey to any
invader.
The publication Of the full text Of
Judge Zubias decision here is regarded
as OF international importance.
The news of Hon Ed. LyDn's resigna'
ton as Consul at Piedras Negras has
caused no little comment and is taken
as another evidence that war will surely
ensue.
AN UGLY FEELING.
BALTIMORE, August l3.--The Suns
Washington special says: Bayard de
MED to night that the Cabinet had ac-
cepted an offer from Mexico to have the
Cutting matter looked after by special
envoy. He alleged that he had not
heard from Minister jackson on the Cut
ting affair since the Adjournment of Con-
gress, and all Of his dispatches ON that
subject had been Published. Secretary
Bayard is evidently anxious to help the
Mexicans out Of their difficulty without
infringing on their sensitive national
pride, but he has no idea of giving up
the principle for which this government
contends. Unless the passions of the Mex
leans are inhamed to such point az to
fendsr it dangerous for the Federal gov
ernment to make concessions Cutting
will probably be released IS soon as prac-
ticable and the matter amieably adjusted.
There can be no doubt, however, that
there is . very ugly feeling in Mexico
against our people.
Secretary Bayard received a dis
patch from Minister jackson tonight
stating that Rasures, who was sent across
the border by the Texan authorities, was
killed by Mexicans while trying to es-
cape. Tonight, Consul Lynn, stationed
ct Piedras Negras, informs the State De-
partment that when, at his mothers re-
quest, Rasures' body was exhumed, IT
was found that he had been shot while
blindfolded with q towel and with his
hands pinioned at his side. This is cited
here as specimen Of Mexican justice,
and Of the way our citizens may be ex-
pected to be treated in Mexico.

the publication in the Esening Times of

Colonel r. M. Kelly, for thirteen years
Pension Agent here, retired from office
in March last he was S5s. 900 short in his

time. he giving a fresh bond
every year or so to cover il.
The shortage became public some
time after Colonel Kelly turned his Office
over to his successor and q hastily sum
moned meeting of his bondsmen and
personal friends was held, which resulted
in the amount being contributed to the
Govern ment. Among those who contri
buted are Mary Anderson, the actress,

CHICAGO. August l3.-The Chicago
Timss tomorrow will publish a very

the States Of Illinois. Kansas. Iowa

report brings out these facts: That NJ
to the 4sh day Of July the general corn
prospects of the country east of the
Missouri were exceptionally good; west
of the river the corn situation compris
ing the States of Kansas and Nebraska q
had been reduced more or less by dry
weather. The corn season so lar has
been very peculiar one. starting out as
it did under most favorable circum.
stances during the month Of June-dry
and cool, with just enough moisture to
keep the corn growing and put the fields
in condition for uninterrupted cult.
vation--until the lst Of July; but
ever siuce that date the corn
crop has been subjected, with the excep.
tioA of some limited areas in Ohio and
Iudiana, to such extremes Of dry wealth
er and heat that the general prospects
to. day point to crop reduced in quan
tity and quality. The rains during the
last ten days have been copious in Kan
sas and NebrasSa, and further reduc
ton to the crop from drouth has been
stopped. but the season is now 50 far ad-
vanced that no amount Of rain osn bring
the corn crop bp to the condition Of
July l, 1886. and frosts before the SEQ.
ond week in September would cause
more than usual destruction to the crop.
Closely connected with corn is the grass
crop. and the Times report shows that
the crop was fair one in many locali-
ties, but as whole little below the
yield Of the grass crop Of 1885. Grass
was secured in exceptionally fine condi-
ton and the quality of hay this season
is unsurpassed. The report also brings
out the fact that the winter whsst crop
in quality is excellent, threshing out q
little better than expected before har.
vest; that the movement from threshing
machines never was so large as it has
been during the last forty days and a
much larger percentage of crop than
usual will have been marketed before
the opening Of 1887.

BRONCHITIS.

BRONCHITIS.
Acute Bronchitis is an Inflammation Of the
mncus mem brane of the bronchial tubes,
and is one Of the most common of the pull
monary diseases. 1t is dangerous disease.
and In many eases, particularly after ii
passes into the chronic stage. the substance
Of the lunge becomes seriously involved,
giving rise to what is very properly called
there ia sense of tightness or pressure
across the chest, with considerable wheez-
ing, severe cough and expectoration. This
is al frst white glairy mucus. which after
some cases Is obliged to sit up In bed, the
oppression across the chest Ii so great; the
skin is clammy and prostration rapidly sets
In, and in fatal cases there will be mutter-
ing delirium, coma and death.
oHRoNlC BRONCHITIS.
Chronic Bronchitis is also an infiam-
bronchial tubes. When, cold settles
on the lungs the disease either ends
in bronchitis or pneumonia. If 1t ends in
bronchitis IL usually passes off az cold on
the chest, and still fhe patient does not feel
entirely well. He feels tired and languid,
and Is incapable of taking his usual amount
OF exercise and experiences shortness of
palms of his hands Soon after this cough
appears accompanied by an expeotoratton
OF thick mucus, followed by hectic flush,
loss OF nesh and strength and night sWeats
continue, when the patient assumes all the
appearances of having q genuine case of
consumption. Bus this Is simply eatarrh of
the lungs or chrome bronchitis.
In the later stage Of the disease the mucus
membrane of the larger bronchial tube
softens, while in she smaller tubes and air
cells of the lungs the mucus membrane be-
comes congested and infamed. There are
no cavities nor tubercles in the lungs. but
merely a wasting away of the larger bron
chial tubes and death takes place from OBJ
struction of the bronchial tubes and air
cells of the lungs. The patient dies from
exhaustion aud suffocstion, being unable
to expectorate the mucus which accumu
lates In the passage leading to the lungs,
which in SO ne cases is sticky and small In
quantity, but more commonly copiou of a
light straw or yellow'sh green. oitentimes
streaks of blood make their appearance in
the mucus, and at times there is a disagree
able smell. Persons thus afflicted are very Ii
able to take cold, at which times the mucus
becomes clear and frothy, and 1t Ii not uu-
commonly the case that the patient dies in
one of these attacks.
II wonid be wise. therefore. for all those
who desire our services to apply early, be-
fore tho disease has assumed an fncurable
form, which soon carries the sufferer to
that bourne from which no traveller ever re-
turns.
