wHITECAPS IN MARYLAND.
ALLENTOWN, Md, Jan. 10. 9.AThis week
several notices had been posted in Ken
nedyville requesting certain citizens to go
to work and do better, and with the usual
crossbones and skull and signed white
caps" No attention was paid to the ad-
vice given, and last night the Whtecaps
attacked the house of "BiIl" Ivans, ad-
joining the railroad. The inmates were
not slow to bar the doors and windows
and cali for help, which fortunately soon
came. The rescuers were armed with
axes, forks, fence rails and guns. Shots
were fired, but the contents missed their
mark and consequently no one was seri-
ously injured, but the explosion of the
weapons caused the Whtecaps to vacate
the premises in great haste.

THE Mormons of Salt Lake City are
talking of erecting magnificent salt
palace from the most finely chiseled
salt of the quarries, together with crys-

eclipse completely every thing of the
kind so far, and would be durable and
practically permanent if it were shield
ed from the heavy rains of winter.
Such an edifice would draw great num-

gathered up regularly every little while
or there is considerable risk Of their
freezing. A ld frozen broken eggs are
often the cause of hens getting into the
habit Of eating eggs. Once this habit is
formed, the only cure is to kill the hen.

UNLESS unforeseen events should
occur to change the natural course of
things, the Dutch crown will, upon
the death of the now almost moribund
King of Holland, fall to the Princess
Wilhelmine, aged eight years, and
Luxembourg will become part of the
German Empire. Hollands civil list
is enormous, and is secured by the
revenues from Borneo, which are
greater than the sum required.

Fortunes in Soft Drinks.

s.Is there any money made out of
soft drinks? Well, you had better be-
lieve there is"
The speaker, says the New York
Mail and EIpreSs, was a person who
seemed to know something about the
tizzing soda, the seductive and health
full mineral water, the mysterious
root-becr, and other carbonated bever-
ages with which the sweet summer
girl will regale herself during the COM
ing few months.
There is any amount of money in
the manufacture of these mild bever-
ages" said the knowing one. Here
are official figures as to the cost of
manufacturing some of them," ne
continued drawing slip from his
pocket:
One glass of plain soda costs lilo of
/ cent.
One glass soda water, with sirup. II
cents.
One glass mineral water, cent.
One glass root-beer, l cent.
One glass ginger ale, II cents.
That is not dear and a good many
young men when they see these figures
may swear off buying soda and similar
drinks at fancy prices. But they
won It keep their vows. When the
time comes and when the best girl
smiles a gentle Harry and begins to
, oct in her fine work you will step
right up to the rack, regardless of the
cost, Just as you have often done be-
! fore. And you will be a poor stick if
you don't. That is why the purveyors
of carbonated drinks smile just at this
season of the year.

Some Gems of English.

The Buffalo Courier makes the follow
ing comments upon the Boston POSt's
specimens of bad English:
The ever delightful 'Taverner' in
the Boston Post opens contest in bad
English by citing as a masterpiece q
remark made by a well-dressed,
pleasant-looking man to an older ac-
quaintance in a public place, which
ran exactly as follows: You ant so
feshy as you was, be youP After re.
marking that the only words rightly
employed in the whole sentence are
.you.' So and as, 'Taverner' says he
thinks of offering a reward for yer.
bal gem equal to this one. Well,
there is the old one said to have been
uttered by some children who were
told that their mother was calling them:

does not vouch for the actual occur
ence of the incident. Besides these.

agriculture in regard to the Milwaukee
riot: Il seen my duty, and l done it.
pales its Intellectual fires.
The Detroit Free Press has the word
of reputable physician for the cor
rectness of his quotation of an ingen-
iously bulled sentence which seems
more remarkable than any of these.
He was attending case of chronic
disease which he deemed hopeless. Be-
ing asked by the father of the patient
rs to the outlook, he answered frankly
that the end could not be delayed more
than few weeks. WELL" said the
parent, ''if it be's to be it's bound to

The Free Press can vouch for the
following, which was jOtted in a note
book while a member of staff sat be-
side the log fire in a hospitable farm
house in southern Ohio. The head of
the house sat in the opposite chimney
corner, and the conversation was some
what interrupted by the crying of a
child in the next room. Calling his
wife, the farmer asked:
Whats Marthy cryin' furP"
''She wants to go to the protracted
meetin'."
"Well. you tell her that she can't git
to go tonight, an of she don't stop
cryin' right smart quick she won't get
to go tomorrow night"

buses, funeral coaches, fire wagons,
hospital vans and private vehicles were
pressed into the service and were rum
ming rapidly to and from the scene of the
disaster all night, bearing the bodies of
the wounded, dying and dead to
their homes or the hospital.
From the statement of some OF those
who escaped from the building, it ap-
pears to have gone down in an instant.
There was loud crash of breaking tim
bers and the persons in the mill all rushed
to the main doors. A good many sue
ceeded in getting out. Four girls saved
themselves by jumping from the second
story windows. The first rumbling noise
was followed instantly by the falling of
the building, the upper stories going
first, with their human load. Had it not
been for the fact that but few Of the
hands were on the third and fourth
floors at the time, scarcely life would
have been saved.
EXTENT OF THE CASUALTIES.
George Grimshaw, one of the proprie-
tors of the mill, who barely escaped
with his life, having received several
Sc we're bruises, stated that there were
about 275 persons, principally girls and
boys, in the establishment at the time
of the occurrence. Up to O'Clock this
morning large majority of the victims
were still in the ruins. The list of killed,
injured and missing reported to Grim
shaw accounts for about 200.
Owing to the crowding of citizens and
outside curiosity seekers on the scene of
the wreck, the artillery company was
called out to keep the crowd back. Eight
more bodies have been taken out. Ex-
actly how many more bodies are in the
ruins is q matter of conjecture. The
latest estimate of killed has been re.
duced to fifty, but this is uncertain.
THE PAINT SHOP VICTIMS.
Following is correct list of the killet
anil injured at the Philadelphia ant
Reading paint shop, which was strucl
by the cyclone and the men envelope(
in flames by the explosion of the ga
chambers in nine passenger cars:
Killed-Allen Landenburger, head
legs and arms missing; John Foreman
crushed to death John D. Kahler, hea'
crushed; Sheridan Jones, burned t.

AT SUNBURY, PA.
WOrknen Crushed Beneath Fall.
ing Smoke Stacks.

SUNBURY, Pa, January 1O.-A terrible
accident occurred in this city yesterday
evening. A rain and wind storm came
up suddenly and blew over two of the
stacks of the Sunbury Nail Mill. The
mill is situated between the Reading
and the Pennsylvania railroads, in the
outskirts Of the city. The first is pud-
ding mill, having six furnaces. Stack
No. 2 was thrown over on the roof,
dropping with it stack No. 8. They
crashed through the roof, completely
demolishing the pudding department of
the mill. Thirty-6ve mon were en-
ployed in this department and half of
them were buried in the debris. A fire
alarm was sounded and soon hundreds
of people surrounded the mill. &C.
Showers and an unknown man were
'aken out dead. The wounded 30 far
recovered number nine and a number oi
other employees are missing. Several OF
the wounded cannot recover.
Albert Williams, one of the injured,
died this morning. The search fol
bodies is still going on.

THE PITTSBURG DISASTER.
The Search For VictiMs-MOre Than
Twenty Killed.

PITTSBURG, January IO.-The search
for victims in the ruins wrought by yes
terday's storm was prosecuted all night,
and will be vigorously continued until
the debris is cleared away. This will
probably take several days, and the ex-
act number of victims will not be known
until the work is completed.
This morning the mangled remains of
John L. Rogerson and Thomas Jones,
bricklayers, were found under one of
the walls of the Welding building.
Joseph Goehring, aged Is, rescued last
night, died this morning. The death
list now foots up II, wounded So, missing
eight.
A number of the wounded are in crit
ical condition and their deaths are mo-
mentarily expected. All kinds of rumors
are current in regard to the number still
in the ruins. One of the men working on
the building yesterday said he was certain
there are at least twelve more. This is
believed too high, and that eight are still
buried in the debris. There is no hope of
any now in the ruins being alive, SO that
it is safe to say the death list will exceed
a score. The morgue was besieged with
callers all day. Heartrending scenes were
bruised, distorted features of the dead the
well-known faces of loved ones.
TWENTY STILL IN THE WRECK.
The officials are satisfied that a least
twenty persons are still in the wreck.
Many eye-witnesses state that they are
positive that when the first shock oc-
Cured number of persons were in the
alley back of the Welding and adjacent
stores. 81 have no doubt" said Coroner
Mcdowell, that twenty-five or thirty
more people lie buried in the ruins"
Several persons informed him that they
saw large crowd of men running into
the alley, which was the next moment
filled with debris twenty-five feet deep.
At l o'clock this afternoon the list of
head was increased to fourteen. The
names are: Thomas Jones, John Hill
(colored), James McFouge, George Ma
son, Charles Fitch, John s. Rogerson,
Samuel Stringer, Joseph Goehring,
Thomas Mckee, John Donnelly, Richard
Carroll, Leonard Shiffhauer, Samuel
Brown, Jr., DR.. James L. Read, Willie
Goetman. The bodies of the last five
have not been recovered, but it is known
positively that they are in the ruins.
A tour of the hospitals this morning
found all the wounded doing well but
William Springer, Bernard O'Connor
(colored), Michael Ryan, Thomas
Lemon, Ernest Rinehart, Alfred Lam
bert, who are in a critical condition.
The bodies of Samuel Brown and an un-
known man were buried this afternoon.
