Just Like a Poor Boy.

George ]. Gould, son of Jay Gould, the
millionaire, was married in New York re-
Gently to Miss Edith Kingdom, the actress
of Days company for whom his attach
ment has been hitherto published. The
event was attended only by members of
the Gould family and Miss Kingdoms
mother, who, with her daughter, had only
few days ago arrived from Europe on
the steamship Servia.
George Gould is rs years old now, and is
the trusted confidant of his father, who
has never shown any disposition to quar-
rell with his son on any subject of his mar
rage with Miss Kingdom. In fact he has
since the engagement became known, ap-
plauded his sons choice.
The young man is like his father, in the
stock business. He was taken into the
Office of w. 8. Conner e. Co., when he was
but 10 years Of age, and in a very short
time he had crowded out Morosini and
Connor, the other members of the firm be
sides Jay Gould. To-day he has succeeded
in isolating his father and concentrating
the control of the immense fortune of Jay
Gould in his own hands. He will reside
with his bride in New York city.

Missouri Pacific railroad, thirty miles east
of Kansas City the other morning. George
Cowles and John Light of Sedalia, the en-
gineers of the trains were killed and two
of the fremen injured. The wreck took
fire and ten cars were burned with their

cattle and sheep, which were killed or
manned and many of the carcasses were
burned. Passenger trains were delayed
several hours.
The property loss is estimated at $50, 600
to 100000. The accident was caused by

The fact that Germany is most of the
time casting new cannon and making
more guns does not of itself imply that
another war is imminent. An immense
military establishment necessitates the
maintenance of armories and arsenals
and shops and foundries to correspond
But as the government has just now
contracted for 800, 900 rifles, sufficient
for a larger mo ilization of troops than
has ever yet been ordered, the natura
inference is that the next European
war, whenever it does come, is expect:
ed to beat all previous records in its
magnitude.

The news from Minister DENLY in China,
that the lives, and property of Ameri-
can missionaries in that country are be-
ing assailed, is logical sequel to the fail
ure Of the House of Representatives to
take action on the bill unanimously re-
ported by the foreign affairs committee,
recommended by the president in a special
message and strongly urged upon the con-
sideration of the House by the secretary
of state. In the closing days of the session
Minister DENLY reported to the state de-
partment his fears, Notwithstanding the
presence of two United States men-of-war
in Chinese waters, sent there on the
requisition of the state department that
something of this kind would occur il
congress adjourned without action on the
Wyoming indemnity resolution, and the
purport of this dispatch was confidentially
communicated by Mr.. Belmont, chairman
of the foreign affairs committee, to the
leading members of the House, but the
session was allowed to end without action.
There will probably be an effort next ses-
sion to place the responsibility for what
ever loss of life and property that may 90
cur where it properly belongs, namely, up
on those who, to maintain a fictitious
record for ECONOMY" prevented the pas
sage of the Chinese idemnity resolution.
Later reports from China are to the
effect that the Chinese authorities are do
ing all in their power to shut out Ameri-
can commerce by placing distractions in

Michigan Not Badly Affected.

Late information received at the agri
cultural department regarding the condi-
ton of hogs is that in Illinois and Indiana
cholera prevails generally. In the former
state heavy losses are reported in several
counties. In Ohio and Michigan the con-
dition of the animals is fair. In some parts
of Wisconsin farmers are afraid to keep
hogs on account of cholera, and reports
from Iowa are of a similar character in
some cases. Cholera, pink eye and
measles are reported from Missouri, and
in Nebraska the condition is considerably
below the average. Kansas and Kentucky
hogs are generally in good condition.
