SAD CASE of Destitution.

MT. HOLLY, n. Y, March ga sad
case of poverty and destitution came to
light in q most respectable quarter OF Mt.
Holly last night. In a neat residence on
the upper portion OF Garden-st., the
three Misses Aaron and their sister, Mrs.
Weigan, have lived for number of years
past. Having but small means the ladies
lived very economically. 1t was found
on Sunday that one of the sisters,
Miss Mary Ann Aaron was dead
and that Mrs. Wiegand wss 30 i'll that her
life was despaired OF. Tnen the cause OF
the trouble was learned. The women were
literally starving. There was no food in
the house and no stoves, Too proud to
beg, the sisters preferred TO starve, and
they would in all probability have been
dead to-day had 1t not been for the kind
ness of the neighbors. But the aid came
too late, for Mr.. Wiegand died late on
Sunday night. Another of the sisters is
In very pTecsrious condition and ii
would not be surprising If she did not
long survive.

Destruction of a Cleveland Powder
Mil.
CLEVELAND, o., Feb 3. - The blasting
corning mill of the Austin Powder compa-
ny's plant in Ncwburg township, near here,
was blown to pieces about o'clock this
morning. The mill is used for granulating
the pressed cakes of powder, and the ma
chinery had just been started by Reuben
Wright when the explosion occurred.
Wright was instantly killed. A large hole
in the ground marks the former site of the
mill, but OF the building and contents not
a veshge remains. The mill is isolated
from the remainder Of the plant and this
accounts for the small loss OF life. The
company's loss is estimated at 5000.
About 900 pounds OF powder was in the
mill at the time, and its explosion pro-
duced Il report heard for miles. The ground
shook as ii by an earthquake and windows
in stores and dwellings a mile and half
distant from the mill were broken.

THE NiCARAGUAN CANAL.
The Movers Of the Enterprise Befor'

INV
WASHINGTON, Feb, 3. Judge Charles 7.
DAILY and Hiram Hitchcock, OF New York,
ex-senator Mcdonald, Admiral Ammen,
Commander Taylor and Civil Engineer
Mcnocal, Of the navy, appeared before tho
House committee on commerce in advo-
caoy Of Representative Norwood's bill to
incorporate the Maritime Canal company,
of Nicaragua.
Judge DAILY made the principal argu.
ment, dovo,ng his attention mainly TO
the constitutional question involved IN the
proposed charter and demonstration OF
the financial ability of the company TO
carry out the work. On the first point he
quoted the Interpretation given by Chief
Justice Marshall TO the article of the con-
stitution giving Congress power TO regulate
commerce with foreign nations and among
the States This Interpretation, he main
tained, completely covered the present
case. On the second point Judge DAILY said
that the company has positive assurance
from Berlin, Boston and New York bank
ers that the 500, 900, ,000of bonds would be
speedily taken up when the United States
charter was granted. The association
which held the concession had several
hundred thousand dollars In its treasury,
and had spent g, 900, 900 in the prclimin-
AIRY work upon the canal. Eight fully
equipped working parties were in the field,
employing l70 people. Six OF them were
land parties, one was photographic party
and the other was making borings TO deter
mine the nature Of the cutting tabe done.
| While the association did not absolutely
require charter from the United States,
the application for one was made out Of
respect TO the government.
Mr.. Anderson, OF Kansas, wished 10
know II the company would object 10 the
insertion Of an amendment 10 the bill pun
ishing by forfeiture OF charter for any COM
bination with the Pacific railroads 10 raise
tolls.
Judge DAILY did not feel authorized TO
give positive answer, inasmuch as he
had not consulted upon the subject with
the other members Of the association.
Mr. Hitchcock explained the formation
OF the company.
Mr.. Clardy wished TO know II the stocl,
OF the company would be held in the
United States.
Mr.. Hitchcock replied that by the terms
Of the concession, the stock must bo Of.
fcred in New York, Nicaragua, Costa Rica
and Europe, but the cincorporaiors intended
TO secure a majority Of the stock In Amcri'
