ARE THESE NOT FACTsl
Importer and Specialist,

Ponder Them Well and Attend Sale of Lot.
This Afternoon.
Less than two hundred lots have been sold
this spring.
These have been bought by less than one
hundred buyers.
All of these are responsible persons, who are
glad TO fulfill their contracts
These same purchasers cannot duplicate their
lots at the same figures, if they were to sell and
seek to replace them.
Every block of lots sold reduces the number
from which to make selection.
Sellers will not always allow sales to be made
upon such easy terms.
Is there any other way in which like amount
can be invested with such good results?
With purchases confined to so small a mum
Der, where will prices go to when a greater
number commence to buy, and when the bears
cease to growl because their efforts to reduce
prices is found to be futiles

Terrific Explosion of Can Of Dynamite-Two
Men Killed and Others Injured.

JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Sept 5.-A terrible
explosion occurred this morning at the
mouth of st. Johns river, by which two
men were killed and several injured. Capt
R. G. Ross, in charge Of the government
jetty-work at st. Johns bar, has been en-
gagged for several days in blowing up the
submerged wreck of the old Dutch brig
Neva, which has for years obstructed the
channel off Mayport. He had in his en-
ploy lighter. in command of Capt A. G.
Moore, with crew of twelve men. Two of
the men-R. 7. Moore. aged twenty-five,
son of the captain, and a colored man
named Powell, were soldering q twenty
five-pound can of dynamite. when it ex-
ploded, with terrific report, and
blew both men to atoms. The only
portion of Moore that was found after the
explosion was one toe. Engineer Dunn, of
the lighter, was badly wounded in the side
and arm. Captain Moore was blackened
by the explosion and badly shaken up
The explosion was heard for miles around
and caused an upheavel of water and a
tremor of the earth, which created consider
able alarm. The machinery of the jetty,
lighter and engine was completely de-
mOlished-a big hole being found on the
deck of the lighter. A search was at once
instituted for the remains of the men, but
without further success. MOore's vest and
trousers were subsequently found among
the floating wreckage, torn completely in
shreds.

The German Emperor and Czar Massing More
Troops on Their Frontiers.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Sept. 5.-Little by little the
German army is being increased, and one
army corps after another is being added to
its effective strength. Since the opening of
the year no less than 1T corps have been
added, and now the Emperor has given
orders for the formation of a fifth, with
headquarters at Bromberg, on the eastern
frontier. This move is evidently intended
as reply to Russia. who continues to mass
her troops on her western frontier and in
this way Emperor William serves notice
upon the Gar that he does not mean
to be caught mapping. The German
press comments upon this latest move of
the Emperor as of unusual significance.
1t is pointed out that, contrary to the usual
custom in such cases. there is no attempt at
cOncealment. The Emperor seems to have
taken special pains TO give the fullest pos
slble publicity to his plan to mass formid-
able force on Russia's frontier and this
the German press accepts as a note of de-
fiance. The more sensational newspapers
of Berlin insist that this indicates a de-
termination on the part of the Emperor to
force Russia's hand. Should Russia reply
by further increasing her force on the Ger
man and Austrian line, as is confidently
expected, the crisis will be precipitated
before the end of the year.

A Faithless Wife Helps Her Husband to q Hor.

Special to the Indianapolis journal
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Sept. 5.-A few days
ago Thomas Myers. a blacksmith of this
place, found some letters addressed to his
wife, the contents of which were of such a
nature as to convince him of her unfaith-
fulness. She confessed that the letters
were written by DR.. 7. T. Linn. one of the
most prominent physicians here, claiming
that he, as her physician. had taken ad-
vantage of her. A scheme most inhuman
was concocted by Myers and his brother
in-law, William Jenkins, who readily Sc
cured the aid of the fnithless wife. Myers
left town yesterday. and a note was sent to
the Doctor by Mrs Myers, requesting him
to call in the evening. He responded, and
while entering the gate she threw two
ounce vial of vitriol in his face. jenkins,
who was in hiding, jumped on the Doctor
and gave him an unmerciful pounding.
Linn's condition is very serious, and he will
lose his eyesight entirely. No arrests have
as yet been made.
