The belief is general on the con-
tinent that nothing short of war will
again place Bulgaria in Russia's
hands. The recent elections devel-
oped this.

Marquette, Mich, made his millions
by studying geology until he could
trace an iron vein by the dip and
strike equal to the best miner.
Grant erry picking has become so
much an established industry among
the Cape Cod children that it is pro-
posed to arrange the school terms so
that there will be no session during
the cranberry season.
Every window in Mrs. George w.
Child's Long Branch cottage is said
to be filled with a bright scarlet boxs
thickly planted with palms ferns,
hanging vines and towering plants.
The contrast of the scarlet and green
is most striking and very beautiful.
The few Digger Indians of Cali.
fornia who are left are becoming
quite civilized and well-to-d do finan
cially. They own ranches, with
horses, cattle, wagons, machinery,
carriages, etc., and many of them
work for the white farmers during
the harvest time, doing good work
in this line.
An official stenographer of the
German Imperial Parliament who
has calculated the rapidity of speech
of several celebrated German states

The postal savings banks in jap
an. which for several years received
but little attention from the people,
have become great success. They
were established in 1875, but at the

amounted to 81 ,05S,0 600. and in 1889
to $50, 100000.

A MYSTERY EXPLODED.

Charles Nightingale Dies Under Peculiar
Circumstances, Which Are Emily Ex-
pInined Upon Observation-Disclosures md
Police Look Into the Matter.
For some hours last evening the police
worked on a case which promised to develop
into murder. Charles Nightingale, aged
% years, died at the Mercy Hospital yester-
day, having been taken to that institution
from No. &C Franklin street, by his brother,
last Sunday, in an unconscious condition.
The brother stated to the hospital physicians
that Charles had received a wound on the
head which he thought might have had some
thing to do with his condition. The patient
did not recover consciousness before he died.
and when the case was reported to the Coroner
he thought that there might be murder de-
veloped and referred the matter to Inspector
McAleese for investigation.
The Inspector looked the case up last night
and found that Charles Nightingale and his
brother, Thornton Nightingale. have been en-
ployed for year past as walters at the St.
Charles Hotel. Charles was taken sick two
weeks ago with bilious fever, and was attended
by DR.. Turfley until Sunday, when spinal and
brain fever developed, and was then sent to
Mercy Hospital
Thornton Nightingale said last night to a re-
porter that his brother had been badly injured
by white man, at Huntingdon, O., in fight,
two years ago. and that he had never fully re-
covered from the effects of a blow on the head
received at that time. Inspector McAleese
visited Nightingale at his boarding house later.
but to the Inspector he told very different
story, saying the only Jury his brother ever
received was when he was child, about
years old, but that the injury had not been fol-
lowed by anv serious results.
DR.. Turf1ey said the only trouble with the de-
ceased had been bilious fever. DIR. Shields
held post mortem examination on the remains
and will report at the inquest at IL o'clock this
morning. The body will be removed to the
former home of the Nightingales at Charlotte
vile, Va, this morning.

THOUSANDS OF CARS
Being Ordered by the Trunk Lines to
Meet the Needs Of Shippers.
HOW INDIANA WAS ONCE CARRIED.
A Wheeling Preachers Ideas Of Pittsburg
Presbyterianism.
SOME OTHER TALKS WITH TRAVELLERS

Presid ent Charles S. Millard, of the In
dianapolis Car Manufacturing Company,
was in the city yesterday. on flying trip
for steel and iron supplies. Found at the
Dug uesne, last evening, by a reporter, he
expressed himself as very much pleased
with the outlook in railroad interests.
"The managers OF the trunk lines," he
said, certainly think we'll of the outlook,
or they would be hedging instead of invest
ing so heavily in rolling stock. Take the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg, for
instance. know of one order of theirs for
10000 freight cars at clip. Last week the
Union Pacific ordered 5000, the Missouri
Pacific 5000, the Baltimore and Ohio 4, 900,
the Hooking Valley and the Ingalls, syndicate
1000 each and the New York Central 900. This
Seems to show the general advance in railroad
interests over two or three years ago, when an
order for 1000 cars was considered a tremend-
ously large one. The quality of steel and iron
creasing the capacity of freight cars by 300 per
cent. While many of the old ten-ton cars are
still in use, the majority of the specifications
call for SO-ton cars. The Pittsburg and West
ern, for instance, are buying nothing but Co. GOO
pound cars-the heaviest made"
Mr.. Millard has been a prominent figure in
Indiana politics for % years. Questioned re-
garding the recent Democratic victims in the
Hoosier State, he said: 1T was case of gen
eral apathy with the Republicans. There was
no real issue, like the tariff, at stake. Indiana
is close, Pll admit, but when the real busi-
ness interests are aroused there is no
difficulty in carrying it for the Republicans.
Take the Harrison campaign. Money? Pll tell
you there wasn't half the money spent that we
got credited with. We went in to carry the
was all there was to it. We had $500 votes
against us; there were about that number of
polling places ID the State; we figured TO gain
vote at each polling place, and we did it-and
had over 1000 votes to spare.
buy votes? No, indeed. A good many of
she working people there will say to their en-
ployer on election day: We'll, l don't want to
lose my days wages but 1 would like to vote.
OF course. in cases like that, the employer had
to see that the workman didn't lose his days
wages. But buying votes? Oh, no, indeed.
There Is between seeing the boys don't
lose day and outright bribery, a gulf
well, we will say as wide as the gulf that di-
vided Lazarus, in Abraham's bosom, and
Dives in the torture of the pit"

THE SAME OLD GAME.

Patrick McM1nhon, a Bradford OIL Driller,
Falls a Victim to a Confidence Man
With a Check and n Bill To Pay.
Patrick Mcmahon, Bradford oil driller,
yesterday fell victim to a confidence man
who played on him the old game of the
freight bill and the check. The confidence
man, who was well-dressed and about so
years old, struck up an acquaintance with
Mcmahon on the Monongahela wharf. He
said he was travelling man and was koing
to Cincinnati. AS he had ticket for two
persons, he invited Mcmahon to go along
and have good time. This was very agreeable
to Mcmahon, and the two sauntered up Wood
street.
When they reached Lafayette Hall the stran-
ger remembered that he had to settle for some
freight on the third floor. The bill amounted
to SIS and he had but 81 so in cash and check
for Sl00. Would Mr.. McMahon lend him S2S so
and then they would 60 TO the bank and get the
check cashed. Certainly M. Mahon would, and
he did.
The stranger entered the Wood street en-.
trance of Lafayette Hall and promptly left by
the Fourth avenue exit Mr. Mahon waited on
Wood street for Q n hour and then realized that
he had been swindled He reported the matter
to Officer OHara, but the confidence man was
gone.
The janitor Of Lafayette Hall has often seen
a man answering the description of the stranger
around there, and he would always enter by
one door and leave by another, and as several
similar cases have been reported to the police
been making pretty good thing out of the old
game,

DYING FAR FROM HOME.
A Consumptive Chinuman Coughing Away
His Life at Mercy Hospital-sad Story
Of Confucinn's Inst Hours In America
NOT Long To Live.

A Consumptive Chinuman Coughing Away
His Life at Mercy HospitaI-sad Story
OF a Confucinn's Inst Hours In America
NOT Long TO Live.
Yee Foo, Chinese laundryman, is dying
in Mercy Hospital. A few months since
Yee was operating laundry at Greensburg,
when he was overtaken by consumption.
He went to local physicians, but the disease
had taken such firm hold upon him that
their efforts were unavailing. Yee then de-
cided to try a Chinese doctor, whose phar-
macopeia includes suoh dainty drugs as
beetles wings, bats ewes and crickets' legs.
He sold his laundry, and with the proceeds
went to New York, where he underwent a
course of treatment at the hands OF a Celestial
physician, but the only result was that he be-
came worse, and it was evident even to him
that his days were numbered.
Poor Yee Foo returned to Pennsylvania, but
his funds and strength both gave out when he
reached Pittsburg. He went to Chinese
laundry on Second avenue, it being part of
their unwritten code of hospitality never to re-
fuse food and lodging to one of their country
men. Yee stayed there two weeks coughing
his life away in the dingy laundry. when the
matter was brought to the notice of Rev. E. r.
Donehoo who is much liked by the Chinese of
this CITY, having rendered many of them valua-
BILE services.
Mr.. Donehoo saw that the poor fellow was
