A SONS SPECULATION.

Milling Company Wrecked by a Son
Causes the Death of the Father.
CINCINNATI, Jan. S.-The failure Of the
Keefer Milling Company of Covington
yesterday, following SO closely on the
death of d. Keefer, the senior member,
has further sensational features. The suit
brought by the First National Bank on at
tachment made by it to secure its claim,
reveals that between December II and %
last the bank received drafts from the
Keefer Milling Company drawn upon var.
ious firms in Philadelphia and New York,
it being supposed that the drafts in each
case represented consignment of -four.
They aggregated $4,000. Not one of these
drafts was houored, no consignment hav.
ing been made.
The dishonured drafts were made and
presented by George Keefer, the secretary
of the company. His father, now dead,
was notified of the facts before his death,
and there is some ground for the belief
that this knowledge fastened his death.
George keefer is not now in Covington.
1t is said he lost the money in wheat spec
ulation.

A kidnapping Case.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. s.-Cora Belle
Fegan, a pretty girl of thirteen, called
last night at the Office Of Mayor Richards,
of New Albany, and said that when seven
years Of age she was kidnapped in New
York by a negro and taken to Nashville,
Tenn. There she was kept for six years in
an old shanty. The negro, whom she knew
only as Charles, never permitted her to go
out and treated her with the greatest
cruelty.
In July last, SO the girl says, her jailer
returned one evening very much intox-
icated and while he was unconscious she
made her her escape. She came to Louis
Vile and worked as a servant and then
went to New Albany where she decided to
make known her history. The girl says
she can remember the names of none of
her playmates except Eva Slater, but she
recollects that she went to school to q Miss
Armstrong, who taught in Fifty-second
street, New York.

Remarkable Story Told by a Dying Cow
boy.
YUMA, AriE., Jan. Son December 80
William Jason, an old cowboy, shot twice
at Jack Witherspoon, another cowboy,
and Witherspoon shot and killed Jason.
just before he died Jason said that about
fifteen years ago he insulted girl at a
picnic in Texas, and Witherspoon de-
Tended her and shot him (Jason), almost
causing his death. But Jason re-
covered. and five years ago heard
that Witherspoon was in Winfield
Kan. He had Witherspoon arrested on
the charge Of murder. but released him on
the payment of S. 100. Witherspoon re.
moved to New Mexico where he was forced
to give up $500 by the same means. He re.
turned to Kansas and was arrested the
third time. This time he gave up all his
cattle, but obtained 81 900 on them as they
were mortgaged. His cattle were sold for
$1,000. Jason afterward had q stranger

Another Bomb Exploded.

MADRID, Jan. 9.-An attempt to blow up
the royal palace was made here yester-
day. No one was injured, and the only
damage done was the smashing of many
windows. The petard with which the at
tempt was made was exploded on the
staircase of the palace. Great excitement
prevailed for time, the members of the
royal household being almost panic
stricken. The Governor of Madrid re-
ceived an anonymous letter on Sunday
saying that the outrages would be con-
tinued. The explosions are supposed to
be due to the recent active raidings of a
gambling house, the frequenters of which
were arrested and fined and the money
found on the table confiscated.

PARIS. Jan. s.-A meeting of Socialists
was held last night to choose a candidate
for the vacant seat of the department of
the Seine. One hundred and ten dele.

The meeting voted unanimously in favor
of General Boulanger. This action, it is
believed, insures the return Of General
Boulanger to the Chamber of Deputies by
a great majority.

The Cause of the Physical Deterioration of
Dwellers In Cities.

/
Dwellers In Cities.
The general unfitness and incapable
ity OF the jewellers in our large hives
OF industry to undergo continued VIC
lent exertion. or to sustain long en-
durance of fatigue, is fact requiring
little evidence to establish; nor can
they tolerate the withdrawal of food
under sustained physics effort for any
prolonged period as compared with the
jewellers in rural districts. 1t may be
affirmed also that. through the various
factors at work night and day upon
the constitution of the poorer class of
town-dwellers, various forms of dis
ease are developed, of which pulmon-
airy consumption is the most familiar,
and which isdoing its work in a lavish
and unerring fashion. Thus it may be
conceded as an established fact that
the townsman is, on the whole, consti-
tutiOnally dwarfed in tone, and his
life, man for man, shorter, weaker and
more uncertain than the countryman's.
l hold the opinion that the deteriora-
ton is more in physique, as implied in
the loss of physical or muscular power
of the body, the attenuation of muscu-
lar fiber, the loss of integrity of cell
structure, and consequent liability to
the invasion of disease, rather than in
actual stature of inch-measurement.
The true causes of this deterioration
are neither very obscure nor far to
seek. They are bad air and bad hab-
its. To these may be added prolific
factor operating largely to produce
degeneration of race, and that is, fire.

by religious affinities.-G. B. Barron,

Damage In Canada.

MONTREAL. Que, Jan. "a storm broke
over Lower Ontario on Sunday morn
ing which continued until last night, leav-
ing a scene which for popularity and
damage has never been equalled in the
locality. The damage can not yet be fairly
estimated, but a low approximation makes
it at least s, 100000, which with damages
that can not be repaired, makes it a very
serious matter for the people concerned.
The property devastated ranges from CO.
teau Landing to Napanee. $50 miles, and
back from the st. Lawrence as far as the
Ottawa river. 100 miles, or 1900 square
miles of territory. This immense tract of
land was yesterday all covered with solid
ice from one to six inches thick.
