That BABY OF Mine.

Auntie, three months ago had the salt
rheum so bad that his head was mass Of
sores, and had begun to lose all hope Of
raising him, but my druggist recommended
Sulphur Bitters, and to-day he is as fat and
clipper as any baby you ever saw, and he

pie in the street. Mr.. Knocker with
his wife and two children escaped
to the street in safety by means
Of firemen's ladders. The unfortunate servant
girl appeared at a third-story back window but
seemed dazed and disappeared and must have
fallen down stairs. her body found later
at the foot of the stairs. where she had persisted
from suffocation. The house and contents
were damaged to the extent of about { 1000.

NEW York, April 25.-The stock market this
morning showed at the opening an urgent de-
mand for stocks for both sides Of the account
and first prices were not only higher but dur
ing the hour on an extremely large business
material advances were scored in many shares,
while the entire list moved up fractional
amounts. The opening gains were fractional,
Canada Southern leading with q per cent and
the market continued to advance from the open
ing sales.
The gains in the general list we're confined to
fractions. but the features Of the market
New Albany anu Chicago and Tennessee coal,
all of which made remarkable advances.
Northern Pacific preferred led the list in
point Of activity. and from 7054 it advanced to
721S, while Louisville, New Albany ana Chicago
rose 2 per cent to % and Tennessee coal 1874 to
1917. The Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks,
Burlington, Missouri Pacific and Lack
awanna were also prominent for strength,
rising large fractions, while st, Paul and other
active shares moved over a smaller range. Tn
force OF the upward movement was spent be
fore the end of the hour, however, and a par
tial reaction occurred in which some of the more
sluggish stocks were carried slightly below the
opening figures, but at IL o'clock the market
was again strong and active at small fractions
better than the opening prices as a rule.
Money closed easy at per cent. The stock
market after IL o'clock was inclined to droop
STILL but several specialties displayed marked
strength, and among these was Pittsburg Gin
cinnati, Chicago and st. Louis, which rose
to Go from 81. The bank statement also
proved unexpectedly very favorable with an
increase in the reserve Of over g. OO0. 900, and
this stimulated the general list, 30 that the
best prices of the day were reached i'll many
cases. The dealings showed the effects of real

PRIVATE MILLER AVENGED.
His Murderer Lynched by a Number of HI
Former Comrades.

His Murderer Lynched by Number Of His
Former Comrades.
WALLA WALLA, WASH, April 25.-D. J. Hunt,
the slayer Of Private Miller Wednesday night,
was lynehed last evening by soldiers from the
garrison and fell in the court house yard
riddled with sixteen bullets, four of which en-
tered his head. Early in the evening Sheriff
Mcfarland received intelligence that an attempt
would be made to lynch Hunt, and, in company
with Prosecuting Attorney Blandford, he re-
paired to the garrison and told Col. Compton
what they feared and asked him to assist them
This he promised to do by having check rolls
called after taps. The sheriff returned and en-
gagged an extra number of guards.
But all had not arrived when crowd Of
probably seventy soldiers appeared and de-
manded that the officers open the doors of the
Jail. When this demand was refused, the SOL
diers began work on the door with hammers
and chisels. Finding this slow work, they
threatened to use dynamite. Further resist
ance then being useless the doors were opened
and thirty or forty cooked revolvers were lev
eled at the heads Of all inside and the keys to
the cells demanded.
These we're given them and when Hunts cell
was shown they quickly took him out to the
court house yard and shot him. Excitement
was intense and crowd Of 1900 people surged
about the street i'm front of the jail until after
midnight Immediately after the shooting the
soldiers went to their quarters and it will
be difficult to identify those concerned in the
shooting. though many were not masked. The
soldiers actually took charge of the town and
would allow no one to pass along the streets in
the vicinity Of the jail. They compelled mer-
chants to put ont lights.
Hunt, who was q gambler, met Miller last
Wednesday night in a saloon. The two began
drinking and soon became involved in q quar-
rel Hunt drew his revolver and fatally shot
the soldier.

SECRETARY FOSTERS PLANS.
Prominent Financiers Approve His Scher
for Deferring Payment of 4 LIZ Per Cents

Prominent Financiers Approve His Scheme
for Deferring Payment Of 4 1-2 Per Cents.
Secretary Fosters plan of deferring the re-
demptiOn Of AZ per cent bonds at the date of
maturity, September 1, meets with favor in
financial circles, many of the most prominent
fnanciers and capitalists of the country
having indicated by letter and in per-
sonal interviews with the Secretary
their approval of his scheme. This plan car
ries with it the redemption OF these
bonds at the pleasure of the government
after proper notice, and until they are thus
called in they are to draw 2 per cent
interest after September 1. The amount of
~ bonds unredeemed is about s43, OOO, OOO Of
these about $50, 000,0 900 are held by national
banks to secure the deposits of government
money; 81, 725, 900 are held by foreign holders,
and about $11 $50, 900 are held by private
parties, mostly banks and security companies,
in trust for estates, &c.
Advices received at the Treasury Depart
ment indicate that perhaps three-fourths of
the present holders of the AZ per cent bonds
are DESTROYS OF retaining their bonds.
BY law it requires three months notice
to the holders of the bonds of the
Secretarys intention in regard to them
A circular setting forth the Secretary's propo-
sitiOn will be framed shortly, following in its
general outline the circular issued by Secretary
Window April II. 1881. when he extended the
payment at the option Of the government of
S195, $50, 400 six per cent bonds. That notice
read:
WASHINGTON, April IL, 1881.
BY virtue Of the authority conferred by law
upon the Secretary Of the Treasury, notice
ishereby given that the principal and accrued
interest of the bonds herein below designated
will be paid at the Treasury Of the United
States in the city of Washington, D. c., on the
first day Of July, 1881, and that the
interest on said bonds will cease on
that date: Provided, however. that in case any
of the holders of the said bonds shall request to
have their bonds continued during the pleas
ure Of the government, with interest at the rate
Of 80 per centum per annum. in lien of their
payment on the date above specified. such request
will be granted If the bonds are received by the

New York Police Have Not Yet Caught
Carrie Browns Murderer.
NEW YORK, April 25.-When five women and
two men were hustled out of their cells in the
Oak street police station this morning Byrnes'
detectives questioned them closely in the
hope of eliciting something that might
aid them in their search for the man who dis
embowcled the woman Carrie Brown in the
East River Hotel on Thursday night. One of
the males is known as "Frenchy." The police
refuse to make his name public.
A PAR OF trousers, supposed to belong to
either 'Frenchy" or another man who is
under arrest, were brought to the station
house this morning. Spots on the
swer the description of the trousers
worn by the woman's slayer. They were found
in Bowery lodging house, where they had
been left by man who went there about 8 80
O'Clock yesterday morning. This man, it is
known, frequented the East River Hotel
1t is said that The owner of the trousers is
known to the police, and the supposition is
that he is either ''Frenchy'' or the other
prisoner; The police have broken silence by
saying that ''Frenchy," under the name Of
buckley" occupied room No. SO in the East
River Hotel on Thursday night. This room is
diaGonally across the hall from room No. 81.
where the murder was committed. "Frenchy,"
therefore, is not the actual murderer.

The Cause Of the Accids nt a building In

The Cause OF the Accide ut Building In
.pcctor Entwi.le's Views.
Building Inspector Entwisle has comple,eds
thorough inspection OF the shoreham Hotel.
where the singular accident occurred q fec
DAYS ago when. il will be remembered. the
flooring on the ifth floor gave WY beneath the
pressure Of jack which workmen were using.
aud the jack and a mass Of heavy material fell
down through hoor after floor until IL reached
the basement
Mr.. Eutwisle has heretofore declined 20 ex-
press an opinion Ne 90 the cause % the accident
OF the extent to which IL would be necessary 70
reconstruct TODAY he stated 10 sr.s ~
porter that his conclusion that all Of the
tile flooring IN the building would have 20 be
reconstructed. To do this the hotel WIN
have TO be closed probably and great deal OF
work done.
The accident. be said. had cas-, a doubt over
the whole building. and in order To get 90 the
bottom OF the matter. he had made daily in
spections. in company with Mr.. Fleming. tho
architect and builder. who has been cOnsmis-
stoned by Mr.. Morton 20 put the binding
into a condition Of security beyond question,
At any cost The trouble. according 10 Mr..
Entwisles observation. lies in the peculiar con-
struction OF the tile floors and the character Of
the hlling between the joists. In all hss many
years Of experience. he said, he had never
seen anything 50 singular. Between the
joists were laid blocks OF some
composition made chiefly OF ashes,
with cement in the joints. Above and on This
was put down the tile flooring laid in cement
causing the exclusion of air. Investigation
shows that two-thirds of the substance % the
timbcrs imbcdded In this ash competition has
rotted. Mr.. Eniwisle said the t:mbers could
not have rotted more completely IL they
bad been left the same length OF time In
the grass outside. The composition blocks,
he thought. had been piled mp in the
house ami never thoroughly dried out The
moisture in them and the i've contained in the
ashes have, he thought, accomplished the ruin
OF the timbers. which he knows were sound
when put in the building. Mr.. Entwisle had
places cut in the wooden hoorings of many OF
the rooms and found that the joist timbers
beneath were in good condition.
He thinks the fact that the air can circulate
freely abou: joists under sach floors tends to
their preservation. In the case Of the tile
floors the joists are shut tightly in and there 10
no circulation of air.
As there II a great amount OF tile flooring In
the house the work OF reconstruction wall be q
big undertaking. The expense to the manage
ment. including the losses sustained by closing
the house, M. Entwisle thinks. will not fan
short Of $4,000.
Mr.. Entwisle will continue the investigation
until be has determined the character OF the
iloor and its supports in every room In the
house and will inspect constantly the work Of
reconstruction.

DENSITY OF POPULATION.
A Census Bulletin on the Subject Illustrated
by q Map.

The density of the distribution Of population
according TO the census OF 1880 is graphically
shown by a map prepared by Mr.. Henry Gan
nett, the geographer Of the census and just
issued by the census office. The various
sections Of the country are indicated
on the map by figures showing the various
grades Of density from two inhabitants 10 the
square mile to more than ninety. In the bull
letin of which the map is part Mr.. Gannett
observes that, speaking generally agriculture in
this country is not carried on with such care and
refinement as yet to afford employment and
support to population in excess of forty-five to
a square mile. The figures show that the settled
area has constantly and rapidly increased. Dur
ing the past decade the per cent OF increase
In the settled area was 2406. while the
increase in the population of the country WAS
24.s6 per cent Three hundred and seventy
seven thousand seven hundred and fifteen
square miles have been redeemed during the
past ten years, exceeding by ~. 3si square
miles the area settled between 1870 and 1850.
