WHEELING, w. Va. July 2O.-Reports
from the flooded country district to-
night are somewhat modified as regards
the loss of life. Mrs. CASTOR, two young
men named Bowman and Caull Bell, of
Treadelphia. who were reported as
drowned this morning, were found
alive. 1t is now generally believed that
no lives were lost by the Baltimore Il
Ohio bridge disaster. Fourteen persons
are all that are known positively to be
drowned, and it is thought this will
cover the number. No more bodies of
the Caldwell run victims have been re-
covered. Mrs. Fay and her two daugh-
tiers and Mr.. CASTOR, of Treadelphia,
were buried this evening. The loss in
this county of stock, crops, bridges, ETC.,
will reach 100000. The street cars re-
sumed running at 9O'clOck this evening.

HE PLAYED THE GIRL,
A Young Man Impersonates His
Sister at a Party.
Albany Telegram.

Albany Telegram.
A certain light-complexioned young
man, with no visible signs of a beard,
and his charming sister Fannie look a
coop deal alike. A pink domino party
was given at the house of a lady on
Stafford street, West Troy, and Miss
Fannie was invited.
She is as full of fun as her brother,
and when the latter requested that he
be allowed to take her best dress and
attend the party she readily consented.
Wednesday evening Fannie assisted
Harry in getting the female toggery on
and arranged the hustle to perfection.
When the jaunty little hat was placed
upon his head gear of switches and
front piece he looked too sweet for any
thing. He looked exquisite, and she
cautioned him to be careful about eros
sing his legs at the party or sitting
down all over the hustle.
Harry promised to be careful, and
after the last bit of powder had been
applied to his cheeks he sailed forth.
Fannie (or Harry was the belle of the
ball. He was kissed by a score of
fair maidenS, which caused the red
blood to flow to his powdered cheeks
and made him look more lovely. Harry
was allowed to enter the dressing
rooms, and it was all he could do to talk
as near like his sister as possible.
He was engaged for every dance, and
was escorted to supper by a prominent
young citizen, who now is cursing his
stupidity in not knowing that he was
pouring his love into the ear of man.
Harry was escorted home, and those
who attended the affair would never
have known the secret but Fannie
could not keep it, and just told it to one
young lady who attended the party.
The story is now all over the town,
and there are dozen young men who
would like to punch his head and any
number of girls who feel like scratch
ing his eyes out for the things that they
said in his hearing.

SHORT NARRATIVES.

The memory of Duncan A. Ross is
revived by an application of his bonds
men to have his bail reduced. Ross, it
will be remembered, was the manager
for Dun's Commercial agency. He
possessed jovial disposition, and for
time was a high roller. Suddenly he
was arrested upon the charge of en-
beZZlement. r. p. Huntington and S.
Is. Lovejoy, who believed in his inno-
cence, kindly went his bail for $1,000 to
keep him out of Jail, and then Mr..
Ross took walk and has not been seen
since.
The dispatch from New York which
recently announced that Edwin Z. Hill
ton, the late manager of the Olympic
theater, st. Paul, had been arrested in
New York for ''winking at pretty
girls created something of sensation
here in the Twin Cities, where Mr.. Hill
ton is well and favorably known. WV.
Dunn, who was with him at the time,
yesterday arrived home from the East
and throws some light on the mysterious
arrest. He says that Mr.. Hilton was
standing quietly on a corner smoking
about 10 p. IN. when policeman i'll citi-
ZenS' clothing approached and said:
You're rather fly and guess I'll just
run you in." Edwin p, thinking he
was mistaken for confidence man,
complacently chuckled over the good
joke he had on the officer and went along
without objection. AT the Thirty-third
street station he told who he was, and
the patrolman. seeing that he had made
mistake in the arrest, put in the
charge of diSorderly conduct. Poor
Hilton was placed behind the bars and
was in durance vile for twenty minutes
until Dunn could secure bondsmen to
go his bail for $500. Not only that, but
the papers got hold of it, and it was tel
egraphed to st. Paul and Minneapolis.

A valuable report from the director of
the mint states that the total product OF
gold and silver in the United States during
1887 exceeded 1856, 500, 900. OF this total
the gold was $83, O98, 900. California is
the largest producer of the yellow metal,
the yield of her mines exceeding $18, 000,-
900. The director estimates that last
year the net gain to the country of bull
lion and coin by imports was $2S, SOC, 900,
and that we used in the industrial arts
about $14, 500, 900 worth of gold and $5,-
000,000 worth of silver. The product of
these precious metals In the United States
appears to be more than one-third that of
the whole world. In 1886 the world PRO-
duced about 500, 900, 900 of gold and $780,
100000 of silver. If, however, of u
production of these metals is large for
our population, our consumption Of them
Is proportionately large and seemingly ex-
travagant. The worlds annual consump-
tion of gold and silver, as nearly as can
be determined. is respectively $4,000
600 and $22, ,000. Tho population of
the United States annot now he more
than o per cent. that of the world, but
we use In the Industrial arts not far from
80 per cent. of all tho gold and 22 per

Some Facts About confectionery.

1.-The c~onfectioners' art has reached its
highest state of development" remarked
a confectioner to the writer the other day,
and the kind of candies most in demand
at the present are gum drops, lozenges of
various flavors, and the delicious and ever
popular marshmallow drops. The latter
are made chiefly of gum arabic, fine sugar
and other ingredients, which are boiled
Gin large quantities) in mammoth copper
kettles, made to evolve on a pivot by the
employment of steam power. These rap
idly turning kettles are used for mixing
the compounds. In the case of the marsh.
mallows, they are allowed to cool after
coming from the mixing kettle, after
which the mixture Is poured into molds
previously prepared for its reception by
busting with powdered starch. Gum
drops are composed principally of pure
glucose and sugar, mixed and boiled with
other materials in the usual manner.
"Lozenges," further explained the pro-
prietor, "are first made in q paste, which
Is rolled out in a fiat sheet and cut by a
stamping machine to the desired shape
and size. The most steadily popular con
lection is the caramel. They are made
chiefly of the inevitable boiled sugar and
glucose, made into a syrup and favored
with the essences of lemon, orange,
vanilla, etc. This syrup is allowed to
cool and harden, and is then cut into little
cubes, which are deity enveloped In small
squares of perfumed paraffine paper by
expert young girls.
THE uses of the pulling hook and the
process of pulling or kneading certain
kinds of candy Is too well known to need
any description. The familiar stick
candy is made by first being pulled. What
Is known as old fashioned molasses taffy'
Is also made in this fashion. Thin, trans
parent candy is not subjected to the pull,
