Stainton's Mill Burned.

Tuesday afternoon about 3:45 o'clock, fire was discovered and alarm sounded by blowing of whis- tie, at MT. A. F.. Stainton's mill, and an immense crowd promptly re- sponded, but could do nothing, ex- cept help save some machinery, lumber, and MT. SIS residence, which would certainly have burned, too, but for the heroic efforts put forth. Fire was first seen under the breast of one of the gins, thought to have originated from a match left in cotton brought to be ginned. In few moments it spread over the en- tire upper story by means of the cot ton. Messrs. Tom Caulder and La fayette Willingham hardly had time to escape, they having been up stairs running the gins.
 It was very dry and windy, and, inside of half an hour from the time it caught, this pretty manufacturing establishment was in ruins. Mr. Stainton had but recently gone to great expense in erecting q large and substantial new building for his va rious machinery, and also in purchas- ing new, improved machines. There were two large buildings; q double story about 20X60 f, ct, upper floor for ginning cotton, containg two fine gins, feeders and condensers, q cot ton elevator, steam compress for baling, etc. lower floor contained grist mill; other building was 50x S5 feet, containing a 40-horse power engine and boiler, plainer, shingIe machine, and six or eight other val uable machines for working in lum- Der. A separate building, a lumber store room, in which was quite q quantity of good manufactured lum- Der, was also burned. Whole plant, including buildings and machinery, was worth over S4 ,o00 There was only $500 insurance on the building, which makes the loss very heavy one-about $500. Mir. s. also had thi NS p'iSS oi "iSiihSN toil SottOi burned, on which they were ginning at time fire broke out. Mir. Alfred Aburrow also had little over a bale of cotton burned. Four or five of the smaller machines were saved from the fire.
 This complete and well arranged manufacturing establishment was the admiration of all, and our pco- pie deplore its destruction and Mir. Stainton's heavy loss. Now let us all unite in assisting him on his feet again. He will doubtless at once start to work to rebuild.
 From flying sparks the Tom Allen High School building caught on fire, and but for prompt action it and much of the business portion of town would have been destroyed. It came near being serious conha- grafton,

DEATH Is WOOING LITTLE LORD FAuNT
LERoY.-Poor little Cedric Hodgson Bur-
nett, the blue-eyed, curly. haired son of the
authorees of ''Little Lord Fauntleroy," is
slowly but surely passing away among the
eafy glades and beautiful dells OF pictur.
esade Wayne. The stricken mother, vino
made her darling boy the type upon which
she formed the character of the enhancing
little lord, which brought her SO much
fame and fortune, has left NO stone un.
turned to try and snatch her loved one
from the jaws of death. Mrs, Burnett,
having settled the lawsuits in England in
connection with her one great work,
travelled as fast as Der boy could safely be
brought to Philadelphia, where she hoped
to get some satisfactory treatment from the
great specialists of the City of Bfotherly
Love, and, if possible, nurse her only child
back to health and vigor. The result was
for short time satisfactory, but as the hot
weather set in the poor boy seemed to get
weaker and weaker, and the anxious
mother took him out to peaceful, breezy
Wayne in the forlorn hope of putting off
the inevitable as long as possible. The
little lord drives about the leafy lanes with
his parent watching over him. Lovely as
ever is he, with his large, bright eyes and
pensive look, but wasting disease gnaws
within, and as the summer days pass by
the boy is drawing imperceptibly nearer
and nearer that bourne from which there is
no return, and from which his mother is
making such brave aght to rescue him.
The attending physician says that little
Cedric is in slow decline. He may last
for some time yet, but he is doomed beyond
all the power of human skill and science

The Origin of Diphtheria.

At . recent meeting Of the Royal Society
in London paper was read by Prof: Klein
the results of an interesting re-
search into the origin of diphtheria in the
human subject. The microbe of diphtheria,
the growth of which in the body produces
the disease, was first described by Klebs in
1888, and first grown in artificial cultures
by Lofier. Early in the present year Mr..
Klein reported the discovery of two distinct
kinds of microbes in diphtheritic MEM
branes, one of which is much more virulent
than the other. He calls attention to the
further fact that in human diphtheria the
microbe, or bacillus, that causes the dis
ease, is present only in the membrane that
forms in the throat, and is not found in the
blood nor in the diseased viscera. The case
is the same with cats and guinea-pigs inoc.
ulated with artificial cultures. The bacil-
lus multiplies at the seat of incubation, its
growth there producing the chemical poison
which 30 seriously Affects the viscera. In
the COW, however, the bacillus passes from
the seat of incubation into the system and
makes it's appearance in the milk. This is
an important fact, as it gives clue to the
dissemination of the disease in cases that
puzzle the sanitarian. In the last three
years curious relation has been found to
exist between pulmonary disease existing
in cats and human diphtheria. When chill.
dren have nursed cat affected with this
pulmonary disease they have sickened aft.
erward with well.marked diphtheria. On
the other hand, when children have been i'll
with diphtheria their cats have been found
to die Of an acute lung trouble. Postmor.
tenn examinations of cats suffering with the
lung disease in question and of others that
d;aI from diphthoria urodncad nv inOcnla.
tions appear to have demonstrated the iden.
tity of the cause of death in the two cases.
The conclusion seems to be inevitable that
in many instances children contract this
dangerous disease from their feline pets.
But from what source does the cat derive
il? Prof. Klein suggests that 10 many cases
are suffering from diphtheria. He gives ar
instance of an epidemic of diphtheria affect
ing sixteen cats that was thus produced.

The president of the national association
of wooden manufacturers writes to the stock
holders of the particular company of which
he is treasurer, to the effect that owing to
the tariff their annual profits for the last
twenty years have averaged twenty and
eight tenths per cent, and that should the
tariff on woolens as provided by the McKin-
ley bill be imposed, their profits will be
even greater. This is what the tariff does
for the few protected wooden manufacture
tected farmers? Why, it forces them to
mortgage their farms in order to keep soul
and body together.-Aler. Gazette.

great damage. Three thousand city tele.

Railroads lost much from washouts, the
Chesapeake and Ohio and Ohio and North
western being the heaviest sufferers. All
the electric railroads and one cable road in
the city were in jured, and number of mi
nor accidents were reported. Thirty.three
houses were unroofed in that city. Two
people were blown off a shanty boat near
the mouth of the Miami river and drowned,
and thousands of dollars worth of damage
was done to coal beds and timber RATS.
