Emperor Frederick's Feeb1eness.

The constantly decreasing strength
of the German Emperor is occasion
ing the greatest anxiety at Chariot
tenburg. The persistently favorable
bulletins are, of course, political in
their inspirations, and not q real
medical record of Frederick's condi-
ton at all. He is weaker at this
moment than he has ever been be-
fore, and now and then there is al
most tone of despair in the brave
mans demeanor. He keeps up his
courage wonderfully, and every
ounce of his strength is diligently
nursed by those about him; his legs
will support HIM no longer, and the
general feebleness which permeates
his entire system tells the sad tale
of the fatal progress of his disease.
The assesses are simply superficial
exhibitions of it, and their alternate
appearance and partial cessation
have nothing to do with the deep
rooted malady which is rapidly eat
ing away his life, except as local
manifestations. / do not believe
the Empress has any idea of leaving
her husbands side; the frequent an
nouncements of her intention to trav-
ell are part of the state policy which
dictates the meaningless bulletins,
and you will observe that every such
publication is Immediately followed
by reversal. The end is not far
off, and the weakness of the patient
dropping into lethargy is what the
physicians expect as the termination
of the Emperor's suffering approach
es. He is expected to slip into a
partial coma, and probably die in
that condition.

ecticut, is question which the judi
cious will not answer rashly in the
affirmative. Men who fear that low
er wages for labor would result from
changes in the tariff in the line of Mr..
Cleveland's recommendations may
not be treasured, even if they see
that while the democratic party may
be forced, by an overwhelming chloride
of officeholders, with a zeal born of
benefits and fostered by the hope of
favors yet to come,'' to accept his
candidacy, it will yet refuse to accept
his platform, to carry the protection
list democratic states would be as
hopeless as was his attempt to make
the democracy accept his former civil
service reform notions. These are
now, in practice at least, utterly
abandoned. They are as if they had
not been-thrown away into the dusty
abysses where all chimeras and crank
isms 90 at last.

A remarkable accident occurred
Saturday night on the Philadelphia
and Reading railroad in which eight
persons were killed, 80 injured and
S75, 900 worth of property destroyed.
A freight train of IS cars was dis
connected by the breaking of coup
ling, and the engine and three cars
ran half a mile before the crew dis
covered that the train was divided.
The first section awaited the arrival
of the second at the foot of the heavy
grade. The brakemen losing control
of the second section it dashed into
the first, causing an explosion in the
third car loaded with powder. At
the scene of the accident stood two
rows of houses occupied by the coal
and iron company's employees. On
the hillside was little cottage occu-
pied by John Quinn and family of
four children, two boys and two girls.
The force of the explosion wrecked
the buildings, II in all. The stoves
set fire to the ruins and a number
were burned.

Congressman Milliken of Maine
brings out a deeply-signifcant truth
in this remark: cit would seem
strange that our free-trade democrat
ic friends never think of reducing the
duty on sugar, which is seventy-nine
per cent upon its cost and last year
aggregated s58, 100000 (while sugar
is prime necessary and the largest
food charge in every family land also
the duty upon rice, which is one hun
dred per cent upon its cost, did we
not know tibet these are two articles
of southern democratic production
and that the English hackers of free
trade in this country do not produce
either sugar or rice"

Afternoon. |.

The Scene of Another Drowning Yesterday
Afternoon.
That famous swimming place, Berry's
hole, on the other side Of the Peninsula,
was again yesterday the scene of a sad &C.
currepce. James Gideon, aged,about thir-
teen years, was in swimming about 8
O'Clock, and told number of his compsn-
ions who were sitting on the bank that be
intended to try how many times he could
swim across the creek and back.
He succeeded in performing the feat the
second time and was on his way back the
third time, when, without word, he sud-
denly disappeared beneath the surface.
His companions were frightened, but when
he came up one of them attempted to reach
him fishing pole without success and he
went under never to appear again alive.
The alarm was Immediately given and
large number of people soon assembled
in the vicinity, while several men were
soon attempting TO find the body. Tim
Donovan and Mike Kelley dove after the
lad a number of times, and about 500
o'clock the former succeeded in catching
the body and bringing it to shore. Coroner
Schultze was notified but was unable to
90 out and notified the parents to have
the body taken home and prepared for
burial, and he will 60 out and hold the in
quest early this morning.
The unfortunate lad was a son of James
Gibson, who resides at the corner of Flew
enth street and Alley II, where the body
wss taken last evening. The bereaved
family have the sympathy of their many
friends in their sudden bereavement.

What connection it would make in the
musical world if elephants could be unsteady
educated-one of them at the business end OF
horn would make the noisiest caliope green
with envy. You've perhaps seen the Trowsers
in our windows; if so, you must have noticed
the superior style and shape OF them; that's
one reason why we sell so many pairs OF
Trowsers because no matter whether you pay
us $500 OF $500 for pair they are cut,
made and trimmed so artisticaily and thor
oughly that it's impossible to distinguish
pair of Trousers bought here from pair
made at a tailors, and costing double as much.
All the neatest and most genteel patterns in
finest imported and domestic fabrics made up
into the most fashionable and stylish Trousers,
suitable for this time of the year. In this de-
partment, as in all others in our house, we
guarantee our prices to be as low or lower than
the same quality and make of goods can be
