An extraordinary statement is made
IN little pamphlet written 10 show the
need for iron, glass or other artificial
railway ties, respecting the number of
wooden ties now in use and required
annually by the railroads of the United
States. 1t is said that the existing rail
roads have 500, 1000, 900 cross ties which
must be renewed every six years this
is probably an exaggerauon and from
this the calculation follows that merely
for maintenance of existing lines Co.
ooo,o ties are required annually 1t
is further calculated that 25,76o,ooo
are required annually for new roads, and
these increase the annual demand for
maintenance. With such an enormous
consumption of wood as these hgures
indicate, it is plain that good substi
tute for OGDEN ties would be very de-
sirabIe. Experiments have been made
with iron, wood pulp, straw, lumber
and even With toughened glass, and
whenever the price of wooden ties APP
preciates or the cost of the substitutes
is reduced so as to make it desirable to
use the latter, they will no doubt take
the place of wooden ties, but very grad
ually as the need for repairs arises. The
toughened glass ties are the most inter-
esting of the new substances proposed.
They have been tried in England and
nave plenty of endorsements as being
superior to IRON ties.

Mr.. Meriwether confirms the general
impression that the statutes prohibiting

by the parents no less than by the en-

actual and the "factory" age was any

A NOTABLE WEDDING,

Mrs. Emma G. Folsom, Mother of Mrs,
Grover Cleveland, to Mr.. Henry T.. Per-
rIne.
JACKSON, Mich, May 2O.-A very per
ceptibie tlutter OF exciteme 1t ran through
this civ yesterday when it became know
early III the afternoon that Mrs. Emma
G. Folsom, mother of Mrs. Grover Cleve
land, was about to wed Henry E. Perrine
merchant, of Buffalo, n. Y; and that
Mrs. Cleveland would be present at the
ceremony.
Hardly had the rumor found credence
before corrOborating testimony came in
the person of Mrs. Cleveland herself, who
arrived on the fast express at 40, and
WAS driven TO The residence of her aunt,
Mrs. John W. Cadman, on Francis street
where the ceremony was to take place
Extraordinary precautions had been taken
to keep the affair quiet, and reporters
were unable to procure more than the
simplest details. Mrs. Folsom arrived
here on the Sth, to be with her relatives
and to escape the publicity which might
attach at the East to an event of such
interest, and, so cleverly had the matter
been planned and managed. that very few
were coguizant of it until the last mo
ment.
The wedding was solemnized at nine
O'Clock this evening. Rev. r. B. Balloon
officiating
Mr.. and Mrs. Perrine left on the night
train for Chicago and the West for a trip
before returning to Buffalo to reside.
The groom is about u yearsthe senior

Steamships Collide,

MONTREAL, May - "A serious COLI
SION occurred on the river this morning
between the Royal Mail steamer Polyne
sian, of the Allan Line, commanded by
Captain Hugh Wylie, and the steamer
Cynthia, of the Donaldson Line, com
manded b. Captain John Taylor, result
ing in the sinking OF the latter vess ell and
the loss of eight of her crew. The Poly
nesian left port shortly after 80 O'Clock
this morning and proceeded down the
Varenues channel. Opposite Point Trem-
bles she perceived the Cynthia, inward
bound. From the details obtained it
appears that there is dangerous curve
in the channel at this point and that,
some misunderstanding of the
rule of the road" the Polynesian was
brought into collision with the Cynthia,
striking her on the starboard DOW, and
causing such gap in her side as to sink
her in few minutes, the vessel filling
with great rapidity. Those on deck
had barely time to rush below and warn
the members of the crew who were off
watch and asleep in their berths to get
on deck and swim ashore for their lives.
The Cynthia carried no passengers. She
was from Glasgow, with general cargo,
chiefly of pig iron.

MALIETOA SHALL BE KING,

Germany Accedes to American Demands.
BERLIN, May 21.-From certain indi-
cations at the rooms of the American
delegates, as well as at the quarters of
the English commissioners and at the
German Foreign Office, it was evident
today t. at there had been some serious
hitch in the negotiations of the Samoan
Commission. Mr.. Phelps, who is known
as s'the peacemaker," both in the con
ference and in the working committee,
was in evident trouble. First he was in
terviewing an English commissioner in
his own rooms, then he was hurrying off
to the Foreign Office, where he remained
for some time closeted with the German
representatives, and then repeating the
process. When asked as to the situation
Commissioners Phelps. Kasson and Bates
said that there was no great change, and
that everything was progressing salts
factoriy.
Both the German and English commits
sioners refused to talk on the subject,
but it was learned from other sources
that the United States government had
instructed its commissioners to insist
upon the return of Malietoa as king. A
message was said to have been received
from Secretary Blaine within the past
thirty-six hours, directing the commits
sioners to insist upon the re- toration of
the status quo, and saying that Germany
deposed Malietoa as king and must re
turn him as king. They might higgle
about indemnity or unit or dual or
tripartite government if they pleased.
but Malietoa, must be king. While the
Germans have come TO agree with all the
other views OF the American commits
sioners, they were reluctant to accept
this condition, and pointed to the fact
that Malietoa was pardoned by the Ger
man Emperor at the beginning of the
conference. This, they claimed, should
satisfy America
The American commissioners last night
were quiet and coDciliatory in their utter
ances concerning the situation, but ex-
pressed determination to remain firm.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press was informed this evening that
Germany had consented to restore King
Malietoa. This action was taken finally
after prolonged and persistent efforts on
the part of the American commissioners
But now comes another hitch in the me-
gotiations. This fresh difficulty grows
out of the claim for indemnity made by
Germany. The American section of the
holds that If any indemnity is
paid it must be merely nominal sum
Germany, on the contrary, maintains that
IL the conflicts between the German
forces and the Samoans, the latter were
Invariably the aggressors. Besides, the
native partlsans of King Malietoa were
guilty of the barbarous practices OF be-
heading German sailors, as well as in
ficting upon the wounded particular
cruelties. These acts, Germany insists,
should entail upon Samoa the payment OF
special indemnity. Earnest efforts are
making in committee to settle the dis |
pute, but the matter is very likely to re
quire reference to the pleuary confer. |

said "You will let me have it," Ross
then drew and cooked the pistol and
pointed 1t at Rlgney, saying. "Old friend,
who shall 60 first, you or l?' Rlgney
thought 1t all joke, and told him To kill
either he chose. Kigney lit a cigarette
while they talked, and Ross sat in chair
near the head of the bed Ross then put
the pistol to his own head and fired. r z
ney still thought that Ross had shot over
his head, though he fell forward and his
head rested on the side of the bed, and
he breathed heavily. Rigney then sad:

LOSSES DROVE HIM INSANE.


with HIS Money,
PHILADELPHIA. May 21.-George w.
Beck, a shipping merchant, wGll-known
in Baltimore and the South, and once an
enormously wealthy man, has been placed
in st. Joseph's Hospital, victim OF in
sanity. He has lost considerable money
in business lately, and his troubles af.
fected his mind. He was possessed with
a horror of poverty, and recently began
to imagine that he had lost all his money
Mr.. Beck is about fifty years of age and
widower. Up to about six weeks ago
he lived IN 60 ID style with his son and
two daughters in large, old fashioned
residence at No. 315 Spruce street. He
was generally believed to oe the possessor
of considerable money, and his business
was regarded as t1ourishing. He was not
in very good health, however, and fire
quent spells OF sickness forced him to
neglect his business somewhat. Several
persons who had business at Mr.. Beck s
Office noticed his eccentric conduct. He
was perfectly rational at times, but won I'd
suddenly lose his senses and begin to talk
of his poverty. He had violet periods of
insanity, which came with increasing
frequency. In the last few days he
showed a little improvement, but yester-
day he had bad time of it, aud his ulti-
mate recovery is considered almost hope
less.

Cigarette smoking by boys is one of
the evils of the day and is undoubtedly
harming physically and mentally the
youth OF the land. 1t is injurious in
many ways and advantageous in no
respect. Several State legislatures in
Guiding those OF New Jersey and Mich
igan have bills under consideration for
the prohibition of the sale of cigarettes
to minors and large amount of testi-
mony favorable to such action has been
presented to them. The testimony OF
three hundred teachers of boys in
Michigan has been taken on the sub
ject and the facts gwen are alarming.
Many physicians tell of the evil effects
OF the habit on the constitution aud
health of those who indulge IN it. They
state that it promotes nervous affections,
interferes with digestion, induces in
somnia, leads to muscular debil
ity, Causes diseases of the mouth and
eyes and blunts the mental powers. Il
is offensive to many, leaves Its faint
upon the garments and is apt to create
a liking for liquor. In Maryland law
was enacted by recent legislature
the sale of tobacco in any form
to boys under fourteen years OF age
punishable by consider
able fine. This law IN our opinion is
not strictly enforced. Some argue that
it is impossible to keep young boys
from obtaining cigarettes, as the older
ones who have passed the age of four
teen can purchase them for the younger
boys. Ii would have been we'll had the
act named sixteen instead of fourteen
years as the earliest age at which boy
can lawfully obtain the weed.
