purchase.

This is but partial list of abso-
lutte necessaries of each family in
the land, the price of which is in
creased by an average tariff of
60%. Here however we will de-
mand only two thirds of the full
"pound of flesh" and take off 4096
and we find the family have lost
S21.6S in the purchase of the art
icles enumerated. The account
then stands as follows:
Loss on woolen goods purchased
$21.69. Gain on wool sold $500
Net loss $17.6S.
The farmer will remember how
ever that to maintain the tax on
raw wool he has not only been tax
ed on wooden goods but also on
medicines, earthenware, glassware,
iron, steel, nails, chains, tools,
farm implements, needles, thread,
buttons, wood, lumber, wooden
ware, sugar, salt, cotton goods,
flax good, carpets, books, brooms,
straw and chip hats, coal, gloves,
umbrellas, shrouds, coffins, and
more than three thousand other
articles at an average tax of AK.
And yet we have men who have
gall to tell the farmer they are
benefited by this scheme of rob-
berry.

A Sensational Rumor,

PORTLAND, Aug. 27.-For two weeks the people of Bar Harbor have been mourning the sad fate of Herman Reed, O. Albany, N Y., and Miss Milliken, of New Orleans, two we'll known young society people, who, while out in canoe at night, were supposed to have been run down by steamer and drowned. It has been suggested that the couple had planned a romantic elopement, and they were somewhere at distance en- toying one apother's company, but this has been secuted by all their friends. Yesterday a colored man, J. D. Petter, told reporters of this city that he is positive that both the missing ones are alive, and he hints very strongly at slopement, but he refuses to say another word, except that he has notified Reeds father at Albany, Some interesting developments are looked for if the story is true.

 NEW YORK, Aug 2..-In seven weeks the cham pionship season for 1885 will close. New York will then have fought its last battle, and the pennant, if it is ever to be won by the 'Gants," will be then safely in their hands. For the coveted prize they now have a good lead, but they cannot af- ford to grow careless or run any risk, even with the advautIEA they have over their rivals.
 The work of tue Philadelphlas against them and the fine playing of the Bostons during the last ten days, not to mention the Chicagos, indicates that they all still cling to the idea of winning the flag,
 At present The New Works have a lead that will enable them to overcome any or dlnary streak of misfortune that may meet them on the road, and by playing the same steady ball that has characterized their work of the past six weeks at least they will be soon out of tho reach of their near est antagonist.

 For the West, Plttsburg Is gradually crawling up, too. The past week they have won four ot the five games played. Their rivals were Chicago and lndlanapo- lis. With the batter es and helders found In this club it wout:i not be surprising to find it further up the ladder at the end of the season. They. like the Bostous, have saul hopes of betterlng their position in the struggle, but it is exceedingly doubtful if they can do at this late date. As for the DetrOitS, misfortune still cliugs to them. Hanlon has been added to the hospital list and Rowe has again been compelled to withdraw from the field on account of illness. By the tune these un- lucky streuhs end the champions will find themselves completely out Of the race. Philadelph and Boston have been taking advantage of thetr crippled condition and have materially filled the space that divid ed them from third place.

 LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Cossack expedi- tion to Thibet under command of Gen. Prjevalsky, of the Russian army, is exciting a great deal of suspicion hero as to the real motives actuating the czar in ordering it. Ostersibly the expedition is not out for pur- poses of exploration, but 1t is suspected that its real object is that of checking certain English movements and preventing the in augerat:on of others over the Thibetan and Bokharcn borders The exploration theory has been made plausible by giving the ex- pedition a scientific character, in it's accom- panying corps of engineers. geologists, etc, but the fact that the government subs scribed 54, GOO roubles toward the expenses If the ex- petition, well furnishing it with an es- cort bearing much closer resemblance to an army of invasion than an ordinary body guard. strengthens the belief that offensive tactics are expected to be employed much more frequently than defensive ones

A COSTLY SPECTACLE.
Thousands of People Witness the Collapse of n New BridEe--EnGineering Skill Could Not Save 1t from the Flood.


 of IA New idgc--Engineering skill Could Not Save 1t from the Flood.
 CINCINNATI, Aug 37.-The new Chesa- peake and Ohio railroad bridge, in course of construction between this city and Coving- ton, collapsed yesterday with report that could be heard two miles away. For several days tho engineers in charge of the construc- tion of the bridge had been apprehensivp. on account of the high water and the great quantity of drift wood which had been flOat ing and lodging against the trestle or false work of the bridge. Every artifice known to engineering skill had been reSorted to tc get the drift through the open channel that was left, but it could not be handled.
 A string cf barges half filed with water were placed in the form of a on the upper side of the bridge to ward off the drift, but it packed tight under the barges and lifted them out of the water. Part of the bridge, including the elevated portion of it, far out on the Kentucky side, had been practically completed for some time, and the workmen were engaged on the channel span. This IS the one that gave way, and was immedi- ately above the central current of the river. It was 100 feet high. and on top of it was a traveller, 104 feet high. The structure was weighted down with nine freight cars loaded with pig Iron and other heavy material. be- sides 700, 900 pounds of bridge iron to make 1t steady. The crash was witnessed by hun dreds of people. who crowded the south end of the bridge in Covington.
 The loss is estimated at s9O,O ,O0O, and will fall on the Keystone Bridge Company, of Plttsburg. The work would have been com pleted by Jan. l, when trains over the Chesa- peake and Ohio road would enter the central passenger station.
