The preferable site for Summer Cottage
is one that has dry, sandy or gravelly soil;
there no cellar is needed and the expense of
building it and the danger attending the
neglect of it for the greater part Of the year,

NARROWING FIRE.
Four Children Suffocated in Bed
The Father and Mother Injured.

At late hour in the night a fire broke out
in two-story frame dwelling in Kingston,
Canada, occupied by John Liston and his
family. The fire had been burning for some
time before it was discovered, and when the
firemen entered the building, four children
were found dead in bed. Death was caused
by sutfocation.
Mrs Liston, after vain endeavors to rescue
her children, jumped from the second story
window with a babe in her arms. She had 4
leg broken by the fall. The baby escaped IN
hurt. Mr.. Liston also made heroic efforts u
save the children, and left the building only
after he was probably fatally burned. The
were seven children in all, three OF whom
were rescued, but all were more or less in
jured.

A TERRIBLE ALTERNATIVE.
One Man Had to Die That One Hun
dred Might Live.

As the west-bound Nickel Plate passenger
train reached the 15O-foot high bridge over
Walnut Creek near SwantOwn, Penn,
the engineer saw a man IN the
middle of the bridge. The train was
running at the rate of forty miles
an hour and TO reverse it on the bridge
would have imperilled the train and its 100
passengers. Although the poor fellow STOOD
wringing his hands in agony and looked
pleadingly az the engineer, the brave man at
the lever kept on and sent one man down 80
feet into eternity rather than imperil the
lives in his keeping. The man was unknown
and was penniless.

BUTTE (Mont). January 28th. = Paul
Stern. q German shoemaker, aged 25, came
here three weeks ago from Helena. He
roomed at 346 East Park street. Since his
arrival he had become moody and despond-
ent from physical suffering.
Yesterday morning early he tied a thin
hemp cord, about the thickness of heavy
packing cord, round a joist in the room,
made moose. and standing on the table,
put it round his neck, then jumped off and
ended his sufferings with his life A gold
watch and S14 were found on his person.
G. Woodbury. made an Intellectual at
tempt to commit suicide at the st. Nicholas
Hotel last evening. He went there Satur-
DAY evening and though awakened, never
left the room Sunday or to-day. The
clerk went up to the room at $50 last even
ing, and when in the hallway heard a
slight report. followed by groan. He
went down for Manager Foster, aud to-
gether they entered the room, and found
Woodbury. on the bed IN great pain
He had shot himself in the right side,
but with an antiquated little Sharpe's four
barreled revolver, O mere toy. The ball
entered the side and lodged in the intes-
tines. A physician was called, who told
him that if he (Woodbury) had asked, he
(the doctor would have told him how to
kill himself effectually. The proprietor of
the hotel asked him why be shot himself
in the side; why not place the pistol at his
temple? Others made equally ungenerous
remarks.
The man is in 10 danger. II is generally
believed he attempted to take his life, hop
ing to awaken sympathy without suffering
much. He had no money, and put up an
overcoat with the clerk on Saturday night
for nights lodging.

and other lights, went around town o-day.
Jackson said he had heard Sullivan had
declined to meet him for $4,000. Jackson
said it did not make any difference what
the stakes were-he was under contract to
the California Club. Would he abide by
any decision that organization might make,
he was asked.
Are you confident of your ability to

The French civil service costs more
now than it did twenty years ago. In
the budget Of 1871 the amount demanded
under this head was 910,120,000 In the
budget of 1890 the same estimate figures
for within trifie of e17,000,000. And
there is said to be nothing whatever to
show for the increased expenditure.
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat has made
the surprising discovery that in order to

not necessary that the party summoned
should be twenty-one years of age. A

jury duty, went to Judge Withrow in his
behalf, when the Judge said that if he was
but nine years Of age and possessed of the
requisite intelligence, he would be obliged
to serve.

ming, amounts TO date to only $4,000 it
would seem that Ex-Governor Cornell is
over-sanguine in his predictions unless the
projectors of the monument propose to go
ahead and trust to the future for funds to
pay for it.
