THE DIFFERENCE.
Crackers Fresh From the Oven Are the
Only Kind to Eat.

Crackers Fresh From. the Oven Are the
Only Kind to Eat
Did you ever think what a difference
there is in crackers? A stale cracker is
Just as much OF an abopination as stale
bread. Pittsburg people are great lovers
of crackers, principally because they can
get the best that are made in the country
fresh from the ovens every day.
Pittsburg is one of the greatest cracker
baking towns in the world. The mammoth
Marvin establishment alone turns out
almost enough to keep the entire popula-
ton OF half dozen States eating "a hours
day
And there is this about the Marvin goods,
they can always be relied upon as being
thoroughly pure and fresh. The great
ovens are going constantly, and score or
more of wagons are busy from morning till
night delivering the crackers to grocers in
the two cities. Of course, Pittsburg can
consume only small portion of the product
of the factory. The rest is shipped to al
most every State in the Union, for the fame
OF Marvin's crackers is not merely local.
Everybody from Maine to California has
heard of them, and everybody who knows a
good cracker when he sees it wants to get
them. If you don't already use Marvin s
crackers, order some from your grocer. If
you try them once you will never want any
Others
Then there's bread, Palace bread. Have
you tried it? If you haven't, you ought TO-.
It's just about the finest thing in this line
in the market. Marvin's breads are baked
fresh every day. An army of wagons de-
livers them to the city trade and express
trains carry them to towns within reach all
over the western part of the State.
Ask your grocers for Marvin's Palace
bread and see if it isn't just about the nice.
est thing you ever tasted. TuSSu

BURNED BY MOLTEN IRON.
Five Men Terribly Hurt at the New Jersey
Iron and Steel Works.

Five Men Terribly Hurt at the New Jersey
Iron and Steel Works.
TRENTON, n. J., Dec. GA horrible
explosion occurred at the New Jersey Steel
and Iron Works this afternoon, and five
men were probably fatally injured. The
men were injured by the explosion of a
"cinder" or a mass of molten iron which
had Just been taken from the furnace at
white heat When the iron was taken from
the furnace the men were standing ready
with buckets full of water to throw over 1t
for the purpose OF cooling it. This is done
only upon the order of the man in charge OF
the furnace, who is the judge of the proper
time ior the use of the water.
To-day Michael Funda did not heed the
orders of the furnaceman and threw the
water too soon. No sooner had the water
struck the molten mass than the hot iron
exploded with loud report and hunks of
iron weighing hundreds of pounds flew in
all directions about the rail mill where the
furnace stood. The men were Knocked
down like so many sticks and their cloth
ing and flesh set on fire. The sight was
sickening.
Michael Funda had his eyes burned out
and large hole burned in his neck and
body. George LintalI is also badly in
jured, the flesh in many parts of his body
being burned off. Michael COSTA is so hor-
ribly burned as to be unacceptable, and
Michael Coperip has cash in his abdomen
and his physicians say he cannot recover.
The fifth man is a German, and 1t is impos-
sible TO learn how badly he is I'M ured. 1t
is reported that several others were injured
by the same explosion.

A GOOD TURN DESERVING ANOTHER.
A NUMBER OF OTHER ENTERTAINMENTS

One good turn deserves another. At least,
that's what the ladies ofthe Allegheny Gen.
eral Hospital think, and they request their
friends to continue sending in donations as
literally to-day and tomorrow as they did
yesterday.
Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Park were the
receiving ladies yesterday, and the sum of
5000 cash and about $3.50 in commodities
passed through their hands during the day
and were gracefully acknowledged by them.
They will continue in the reception capacity
to-day and tomorrow, and anything in the
line of hospital supplies will be appreciated.
Wine is especially welcome, as there are
ever so many patients in the hospital re-
quiring it
There are about 60 more patients IN the
hospital now than there were at this time
last year, and it is hoped by the ladies that
this facT, if known, will inspire continue
tion of the liberal donations.

ABJG CHRISTMAS BUSINESS

Transacted at thesRooms of the Woman's
Industrial Exchange.
Throngs of fair purchasers filled every
corner of the not too extensive quarters OF
the Woman's Industrial Exchange, yester-
day, and left orders for the most tautaliz-

services OF Philadelphia lawyer to deter
mine the use for which they were intended,
but the recipients on Christmas morning
will rather enjoy the mystery that sur
rounds the beauty of design and finish.

busy, with just time enough to say that
their Christmas business exceeded anything
IN the previous history of the Exchange.

An Asset He Didn't Stop to
Count.

Sam Stones, Of New London, was
aCrasus one day and possibly a pau
per the next. At the time of this in
cident he was the latter, and a sher-
iff came to take possession. Sam re-
ceived him with his well.known DO.
likeness and opened the ball by ask
ing him what he wanted. The sheriff
informed him he had come ks take an
inventory ofhis furniture and belong
ings generally.
"Get to work." said Sam, and he
went into his gardento have asmoke.
In this garden Sam had q hive oil
bees, which he carefully brought to
the back door and deposited outside.
He then went in and asked the sheriff
if he had goteverything down. Yes,
he thought he had. Sam thought
not; SO he went outside and returned
with his hive of bees, and chucking
itintot the middle of the kitchen, said:
"Now, my Christian friend, get
those counted and put down in your
inventory"
Poultices were the order of the day
and night in that family for the next
week.

bail. King, when interviewed in his cell.
gave his version Of the state of affairs at the
institution. He denied emphatically
the terrible charge made against
him and expressed the belief that it
was the result of a conspiracy. He de-
nounced the charges Of transportation
Of funds, cruelty to the inmates and supply
ing them with insufficient and poor food as
being absolutely false. During the talk the
prisoner broke down several times and
Wept bitterly. He fully realized his posi-.
ton, but hopes to be able to clear himself.

The Commissioner Of Pensions
Will Consider Pensions
in Their Turn.

MADISON, Wis, Special Telegram,
Sin the cases Of w. w. Meredith and
Peter Hansman, the commercial travellers
who are charged with trying to hackmail
George Maloney Of Sun Prairie, the allega-
ions which the prosecution makes are that
the defendants, by and with the c%onnivance
of certain pretty milliner in Sun Prairie,
set q trap for Maloney, into which he read
lily fell. Letters are in the possession OF h
sheriff which show that the woman, q
pretty, dashing, young married creature,
whose former home was in Lodi, told the
drummers when to come to her residence,
where to stand to best watch Maloney's
movements, and where they might see
everything that he did while in
her company. They are said to have sta
TONED themselves at the point mentioned
and there obtained visual evidence of UNI
due ~gallantry on the part Of Maloney, him-
selfa married man, which they proceeded
to turn into cash bythreatenlng Maloney
with All exposure which would BRING dis
grace upon himself and sorrow upon his
family. II is stated that
IN ONE OF THE LETTERS
to the complaining witness in the alleged
blatkmailing proceedings the defendants
say substantially: .sMr. Maloney, we have
III our hands your reputation, your home,
your good name, your family. peace; now
plarksdown $500" The evidence against
the drummers is Of ali ugly character, be-
ing, as it is i'll large part, letters over the
&glaatures of the defendants and aforesaid
scodnettish milliner. A demand was
made upon the sheriff by the
attorneys for the defense for this evidence,
but that officer refused point blank to re-
linquish d single piece Of the paper in his
possession until ordered by the court to do
so. The defendants were arrested at n of
the hotels while quietly rejoicing in q game
of cinch and appeared to be quite taken
back at the procedure. One of them, it is
said, professed to be a detective, and if SO,
prosecution may be begun against him for
the personation of an officer for the purpose
of extorting money from Maloney. The
latter has refused to take any action look
ing to the arrest OF the milliner, although
advised to do so by competent legal author
ity, and this TACT has been cited as peculiar
III shefis, as claimed, equally as guilty as the
defendants III the suit. In any way the case
is viewed, it abounds in spicy features and
is the sensation of the hour in u Prairie.
