HUNGARIANS AND WHISKY.

WLKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. ia fearful
disaster, the result of drunken spree, and
by which six lives were lost, occurred Sun.
day night at Silver Brook, eight miles
south of Hazelton. A party of Hungarians
went to Hazelton to attend the dedication
of new polish Catholic church. All be-
came drunk and returned home
in the evening. When they got
to the house of a man named
Maulick they INDUCED freely in
whisky and beer. Maddened by the effects
of drink they engaged in fierce fight,
and while this fight was in progress, a
lighted lamp was overturned and in an in
slant the whole room was enveloped in
flames and the clothes of those present
were set On fire. They all rushed wildly
for the doors, which they found to be lock
ed. In their drunken condition some
of them either did not know
what to do or were unable
to climb out Of the window and remaining
i'm the room persisted in the flames. Five
of the men and one girl were roasted alive.
Their names ore John Elias, John Seddo,
John Kobinko, Michael Yankovitch, Mary
MauIick and Paul Syskowitz Maulick
and his wife were also badly burned and
will die. Mrs. Maulick threw her
baby out of one of the windows to save it
from the flames, but in falling it was ia
tally injured. Peter Mauski was terribly
burned about the upper portion of his
body and his injuries will prove fatal
Half dozen others, whose names are
not known, are badly burned or
injured by jumping out of windows. The
story of the turning over of the lamp is not
believed. 1t is the opinion of many that
there was murder committed in the
house and it was fired to hide the crime
An investigation is now being made.

ARRESTED FOR SMUGGLING.

WATERFOWL, N. Y, Feb. 13.-Edwin A.
Gardner who, with his cousin, Ephriam
Gardner, was arrested and taken to Og-
densburg on Tuesday last on charge Of
smuggling opium has been released on
$4,000 bail and is now in this city. His
cousin is still in custody. Gardeners trunk
which was seized has been found to contain
documents showing that Gardner was a
United States inspector during four
months in 1885 with headquarters
on the Pacific coast. His resigna-
ton was evidently called for,
rs kilograms of coincidence were
found from other government officials.
When Gardner was arrested he claimed
to be in the government service. He now
refuses to say whether he is or not but
claimes that within few days he will
prove his innocence. Among the contents
of his trunk are wig, paints for the face,
false whiskers and engraved labels for
packages of opium with the name of the
steamship they are supposed to have been
imported on and the name of a reputable

MEXICAN BANDITS

CAMREGo, Mex, Feb. 13.-Capt Sam
adrid, of the Mexican army, at the head of
force of cavalry, descended on the Mos
quito. ranch about thirty leagues from here
and captured Vasquez, a noted bandit, who
had broken his leg and was there receiving
surgical attention.
Vasquez was made to confess that his
companions, the notorious cutthroat
Basaldua and the terrible brothers Adolfo
and Antonio Nallegas, We're in hiding
near the ranch. Capt. Samadrid compelled
Fernandez, the proprietor of the Mosquito
ranch, to givea guide for his troops to the
hiding place of the bandits, but Fernan-
dez treacherously led the soldiers in the
wrong direction.
When Samadrid discovered Fernandez
had deceived him he tied him to tree and
ordered his men to riddle him with bull
lets, which they did notwithstanding Fer
nandez repeatedly cried out that he would
give the soldiers $4,000 to save his life and
release him. While this was going on the
bandits had been warned and fled to Texas.
There is reason to believe that not less
than twenty notorious highwaymen are
now safely rendezvoused at the Gullo

Some Interesting Points About Their

quently used now at teas and luncheons in
the day time, the curtains being drawn down
to give the wax light the preference. The
ornamental value of the finer tinted, nodded
and decorated tapers, set in rich candelabra
cannot be excelled for table decoration, aside
from the disturbances of the light.
A prominent dealer uptown, who has a
large candle factory at Syracuse, gave some
curious facts about the business in a CONVEX
sation recently 'The fashionable demand
has increased greatly in the last few years."
said he. "Our best qualities we call Egyptian

the queen wax, made of prime beeswax,
cream colored, and uneaualed for pure
light You must know that pure beeswax

"dipped" by hand. A workman passes along
a row of wicks with a dipper and pours on
the melted wax until they get to the requisite
size. You see when break this wax candle
the wax is all in layers.
"Many people come here who cannot tell a

candle from another. Others are we'll posted.
Sperm oil is too costly to be popular for can
dies, being 80 per cent. higher than beeswax.
The likelihood Of war abroad makes it high,
for it is the only eficacious substance for
cooling gun barrels in action. Paraffine, as
you know, comes from the ground, and is
imported 1t is cheaper for candles than tai
low. Stearine is another cheap substance
Do you know that tallow candles are
shipped largely to South America where the
natives use them to anoint their bodies.
The hardest part of our business is to get
good dyes for coloring the wax candles We
have to have the most delicate shades in pink,
gold, etc. Then the coloring always detracts
more or less from the brilliancy Of the light.
To obviate this we have a candle that is sim
ply plated with colored wax 1t has all the
beauty of a colored taper, and the interior is
pure white wax. Then there is Q great deal
of hand decoration on our candles We en-
ploy artists by the year for this work. All
these impressions are made by hand, and the
figures in gold leaf are first applied warm to
a sheet of wax. and then cut out by hand and
applied to the candle while heated New

result OF tight lacing. There are hundreds
OF cases where certain portions Of women's
lungs are practically dead and useless, caused
by tight lacing, but the majority of them die
OF something other than lung troubles
Again, it is wrong idea to think that stoop-
shouldered people are apt to have weak lungs.
