Guarding Mrs. Astor,s Grave.

Arrangements that are effective if not
extensive have been made to guard the
grave wherein repose the remains of Mrs.
VIM. Astor, in Trinity Cemetery. 1t is
safe to say that very warm reception
awaits the vandal who has designs on the
body and makes an endeavor at carving
them out By day the workrnen EMPLOYED
about the place, and at night special off
GERS engaged for the purpose, keep watch
of the plot Of ground set apart for the
grave. The cemetery lies in the square
bounded by Fifty-third street, Tenth av-
enue, Fifty-fifth street and the river. 1t Is
inclosed by high, stout iron railing,
through which there are several gates.
The ground is divided for convenience into
squares, and when workmen are EMPLOYED
in caring for the grounds and shrubbery
they have charge of certain of these
squares, and upon them devolves the duty
of protecting their charges and preserving
order in these plots Since the interment
ofRAlrs. Astor's remains the superintendent
of The cemetery, Otto Meurer, has issued
strict orders for the men to keep close
watch OF any suspicious persons. At night
it was thought best by the Trinity corpora
ton TO have couple Of special watehmen
on hand, and these do duty from the time
the workmen leave in the evening until
they report in the morning. Keeping
company with these are two officers hired
by Mr.. Astor, making four men in the
cemetery all night. The friends fear no
attempt at theft of the bcdy; in the first
place, because it would require big force
of men 10 reach the coffin, so deep is it
placed and so complete are the elements of
safety, but it was deemed best to take
every reasonable precaution, and the watch
men, fully armed, they consider equal to
every emergency.-N Y. Herald, Dec. 17h.

ICopylght, 1885. BY tie California associated Press
WASHINGTON, January 6th.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture has issued a bulletin
of 496 pages on the subject of foods and
food adulterations. G. A. Crampton,
Assistant Chemist, is its author, and he in
dorses and recommends the passage by
Congress of the bill passed by the New
York Legislature last June, to define pure
wines, half-wines, made wine, and adul-
terated wines, and to regulate the manu-
facture and sale of half wines and made
wines, and TO prohibit the manufacture or
sale of adulterated wines in New York.
On the subject of the dilution or water
ing of wine, Professor Champion saws: d" In
DR.. Banmert's work, which has already
been alluded to, and to which | shall have
occasion to refer frequently, as constituting
small as 1t is-the only published inves-
tigation of American wines and aduiter-
ations, none of the samples fell below the
German standard in point of extract. On
the other hand, nearly ell the white wines
submitted to complete the analysis fell be-
low the sts sndard, and two of The red wines,
and large number of the samples ana
lyZed by Parsons also fell below il.
That this limit is not placed at too high
figure for California wines, at least seems
evident from a study of the table have
prepared of Prof. Hilgard's analysis of
pure wines, from which it appears that
only one series of analysis give minimum
below it, while the averages are above it.
1t might possibly be too low for Virginia
wines, but the majority of those that fell
below II were of California origin

WHO SHALL SUFFER-
Merchants Object to Carrying Striking
Workmen on Their Books.

ICopyigAi 1855, ty The California associated Iressl
READING, January 6lh.-" Can we afford
to carry the striking miners ON our books p"
is the question seriously considered by
every merchant, shoe-dealer, grocer and
tradesmen in Schuylkil county to-day.
During the strike in 1879" said promi-
nent merchant of Pottsville to-day, Over
200 firms were either sold out by the Sher-
if or granted extensions, Out Of this
number not more than thirty fully recov-
cred from the blow" 1t is estimated that
the losses sustained by the merchants ex-
ceeded $S00,000. Some lost everything.
One man is said to have lost $4,000 alone.
In view of this fact, it is believed that
many merchants will either refuse to lay
in new stocks or get out of business. They
cannot stand prolonged strike and do a
credit business. Should the firms decide
probable) many persons are of the opinion
that the strike will be short-lived.
ANOTHER ORDER TO QUIT WORK.
Only small quantity of coal was mined
by the Reading Company to-day, probably
$50 cars, all told. The strike is about as
general now as it is possible to make it.
There is absolutely nothing doing any
where, except at two collieries.
a committee of the Miners and Labor
ers' Amalgamated Associate and knights
of Labor held long session in Pottsville
to-day, and decided to call out the miners
at all the individual collieries who ship
over the Reading road. The members say
they will not permit the coal mined by
these men to be handled by the train hands
recently employed by the Reading Com
pany to take the places of its strikers.
INDIVIDUAL CoLLIERs IN A DILEMMA.
The-Lincoln Colliery, in Williams Valley,
near Pine Grove, operated by Miller & Co.,
is also idle. A committee of Knights of
Labor called on Miller this morning and
he told them he could not pay The advance,
as he had been informed by the Reading
officers that if he did the company would
refuse to furnish cars. From this it may
be safely said that the Reading company
will n ot supply any. of the individual col
lieries with cars beyond limited number.
Most of the individual collieries in the
SchuyllSill district, although not the largest,
are among the best of the region, and their
coal is always marketable. If they could
be kept at work at the increase which has
been offered-and which nearly ali are
willing to pay-there is no doubt the
striking Reading miners could be sustained
for long time. The men at the individual
coilieries pledged themselves to stand by
the Reading miners. The officials know
this. and it is not likely they will allow
themselves to be frozen out in that way, if
they can help it.
The company owns about 10000 cars,
which are being side-tracked as fast as they
are Brought up the road. Only regular
trains are being run on the main line and
branches, and all coal-train hands and
nearly two-thirds of its employees have been
suspended temporarily.

Hundreds of Thousands of Lives Lost
Entire Towns InGulfed.
LONDON, January 6th.-The Standards
correspondent gives particulars of the over
flow of the Hoang Ho, the great loss to life
and the famine threatened: One-sixth
of the entire area of the Garden of Chiha,
as Honan is styled, is now vast lake.
The rest of the country is overrun with
refugees. In hundreds of instances men
who three months ago were wealthy to. day
are stunned, hungry, stupid and detected,
without morsel of food. The inuuda-
tons commenced at little distance from
kai-Fung-Fu, one of the largest cities Of
the province. In one instance some four
miles of solid embankment of stone brick.
sand and clay were swept away with innu-
merable moles and fascines. In the dis
'rict Of Ching Chow and Chin Chow no
less than
THREE THOUSAND LARGE VILLAGES
Were ingulfed in a very few moments,
and scarcely any of the ill-fated people had
time to save themselves as the break oc-
Cured in the night
The extent of the disaster will be better
understood when we say that an area of
country much larger that the principality
of Wales, and much more thickly pOpu-
l2ted tnan ireland, Is nOW sea, ana all the
inhabitants are either drowned or have fled.
The people so terribly visited cannot fall
short of the
WHOLE POPULATION OF IRELAND,
As the province includes about 25,000, ,000,
with an area of 60, 600 square miles, and the
waters of the river now cover it to an ex-
tent of 5000 or 10000 square miles.
l am told that in hundreds of instances
the people, when the waters rushed into
the cities, sweeping walls and houses away,
refused to stir, and met death with that
wonderful indifference which characterizes
the Chinese fatalist.
AN AWFUL PICTCRE.
The loss of life will not be numbered by
the thousands or tens of thousands, but
literally by the hundreds of thousands,
while the starving must amount to many
millions, utterly beggared, and depending
upon the charity of others. The Emperor
has contributed 100000 taels out of his
private purse, besides ordering 100000
taels out of the Imperial Treasury, tow ard

the presents had been arranged at noon,
followed by 48 Cardinals and the Pontifical
Court.
Cardinal Schiaffino read an address. To
this the Pope replied that his soul was
moved by the manifestations of love and
veneration reaching him from all parts of
the world. They would be regarded as
evidence of the power of the Papacy, which
the enemies of the Church vainly attempted
to deny. The share taken by the esovereigns
in the jubilee would prove that they justly
appreciated the importance of the Papacy.
