THE READING VICTIMS.

READING, Pa, Jan. 12-The funerals of
some of the victims of the tornado disaster
took place today.
The fund for relief of the sufferers has
reached nearly $4,000. A number of con-
tributions have been received from New
York and Philadelphia and even as far
west as Montana. The money is needed to
bury the dead and relieve the distress in
the families of one hundred persons in
jured.
An Associated Press representative made
a tour through the northern section of the
city this afternoon where most Of them
live Katie CoXen suffers with internal
injuries; Katie Heppler has been uncon-
cious ever since the accident; Bertha Tay-
lor has her breast bone broken and her face
dis1igured almost beyond recognition: Ella
Ranenzohan is suffering with a fracture of
the skull; Katie Sullivan's spinal column
is injured. These are all in very critical
condition and may all die. Emma Blums,
head cut open; Katie Hartman, another
employe, leg broken in two places and hip
fractured.
During the search among the ruins
Enoch Taylor, a well known citizen,
thought he recognized body as that of
one of his daughters and had it conveyed
to his home. When he got there he found
both of his daughters there, they having
escaped unframed.
The probabilities are that the mill will
be rebuilt The wreck is being cleared
away as rapidly as possible.

That cantankerous Old woman

Described in the nursery ballad, who
lived upon nothing but vic,uals and
drink, ," and yet would never be quiet,
was undoubtedly troubled with chronic
indigestion. Her victuals. like those OF
any other elderly persons whose digestive
powers have become impaired, didn Q
agree with her This was before the era
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, or some
one OF her numerous friends and relatives
would undoubtedly have persuaded her 20
try the great specific for dyspepsia cOnsti-
patton and bilfousness. This would have
been a measure OF self prosection on their
part, for she would soon have been cured
and ceased to disturb them with her clat-
ter. The most obstinate cases Of indigss-
ton. with its attendant heartburn, hatu-
lence. constant uueasiness Of the stomach
and OF the nerves. are completely overcome
by this sovereign remedy. Chiils and
fever and bilious remittsnt, rheumatism
and kidney troubles are also feiieTed By IL.

THE sIcAR REFINING co.

NEW YORK. Jan. 12-President w. H
Cottrill, of the Electric Sugar Refining
company, today issued the following state
ment: After full consideration with the
officers OF this company, stockholders in
this city and Representatives of the English
share holders, it has been determined that
it would be highly injurious to the inter-
ests of the stockholders to give to the press
at this time a statement such as had been
contemplated of the history of this CON-
pany, the negotiations recently passed for
the disclosure of the process, those results
leading to the exposure of the fraud and
the steps which have been and are being
taken for the purpose of bringing to jus
tice and accountability the persons who
have so grossly defrauded the company by
false representations of the process. Much
as the officers would for personal reasons
desire to furnish such a statement it can
not for the above reasons be given for the
present, but will be as soon as considered
expedient, in the interest of stockholders.

PROBABLY VESSEL OF WAR.

New YORK, Jan. 1.-THE steamer Mer-
cedes steamed out OF Stapleton during the
afternoon, having cleared for Samana with
a cargo of coal. 1t was learned that the
vessel was purchased recently in Boston
by Leonica Julia, the st. Domingo consul
at this port, for 5000, GOO. He said he had
bought her for speculative purposes, and
had sent her 10 Samana under the Domin-
Eian flag with view TO finding a ready
sale for her upon her arrival Mr. Julia
denied that the Mercedes carried anything
in the nature OF contraband goods OF war
Despite Mr. Julia's denial some shipping
men regard the Mercedes as intended for
the use of Hippolyte and say she viii be
turned into a war vessel. \ story from
Stapleton says the Mercedes took on sew
eral heavy cases between aud O'Clock

WEAVER CONFIDENT.
The Gentleman from Iowa Feels Certain Of
0klahomas Success.

WAsHINGTON, Jan l2.-It was generally
understood about half an hour before the
house net that the deadlock would be
broken today and one Of the appropria-
tion bills taken up for consideration i'm
mediately. Just how this result was to be
attained was a mystery except TO few
members who have been taking an active
part in the proceedings during the past
few days. 1t was understood that Mr.
Weaver would refrain from making furth-
er diliatory motions As that gentleman,
while admitting the fact, expressed him
self satisfied with the prospect for the
Oklahoma bill, information as to the terms
upon which he had capitulated was anx-
Ously sought by many interested represen-
tatives, but the information was generally
refused by those in Mr.. Weaver's conf
dence. One of the rumors current was
that the Oklahoma people had learned
that it was the program of their opponents
to allow the Oklahoma bill to
come up Immediately and then XIII
it by an adverse vote, which, If true, would
of course be ample reason for their failure
to insist on its further consideration.
Another story was to the effect that Mr.
Weaver had been promised an opportunity
TO call up the bill on one of the days of the
session, when 1t might be put through
under suspension OF the rules But the
most probable explanation (as appeared
later on the presentation of Mir. RandalPs
motion to rescind the rule requiring re-
uuiring adjournment at ) o'clock every
afternoon is that with unlimited ses-
sions before them the Oklahoma peo
pie believe that il they can get their
bill up again before the house
they can tire out the opposition
and secure its passage. 1t is said to 6e a
condition of Mr.. Weaver's surrender that
the COMMITTEES on rules will report the
Randall resolution favorably at the earliest
opportunity.
Mr. Weaver stated this morning to an
Associated Press reporter that an agree
ment has been made with the gentlemen
influential in the control of the house
which is satisfactory to the friends of the
Oklahoma. bill, but will doubtless secure
an early vote on that measure. He does
not feel at liberty at present to make
public the terms of that agreement, but
xays they are satisfactory and honorable TO
ali concerned.
