the Prince of Wales by the newspaper press,
especially by the tory press. has caused q
tremendous sensation throughout Great
Britain. and it is freely asserted that the rev.
Citations made during the trial have done
more 70 lmperil the monarchy than any
event which has taken place in England for
many years. An account of the proceedings
OF the court was telegraphed each night to
the queen and her majesty is said to have ex-
pressed her displeasure in such strong terms
that the Truth, of this city, asserts that it
would not be surprised if it would b the
cause OF the resignation of the Earl of Cow

HYDROPHOBIA.
An Atchison County Family
Dying From Rabies.
Wild Theories Abou. Contag ion Nine Year
Agone-One Young Man Dead. An.
oner Dying-The Neighborhood
in a Panic of Fear.

ArcH1sos, KAN, June 10,-Great excite
ment prevails in the western portion of Atchl-
son county, where family named Vanderver
is afflicted with hydrophobia. One son has
died. another is momentarily expected to
die. aud third has been sent to Kansas
City hospital for treatment. Other members
of the family live in great fear that they will
be stricken down.
Will Vanderver, 10 years of age, went to
Holton and had tooth pulled. On his way
home he was taken ill and at night he had a
spasm. A physician was called, who asked
for consultation, which was held, and the
result was the announcement that the boy
was suffering with hydrophobia. He dled,
and next day younger brother was taken in
the same manner. An older brother wac
taken sick, people believe it is through fear.
He was taken away to hospital. The father
is sick.
About nine years ago a mad dog passed
through the neighborhood and bit number
Vanderver family, which the boys attended
and tried to save. They attempted to make
one calf take nourishment from q COW, and
il is supposed that it slobbered on the udder.
The slobber was, of course, poison, and it is
believed that when the COW was MIXED the
poison was conveyed into the family milk.
The milk was probably used by the entire
family, and this is the cause of 30 much
alarm. Some people believe that only the
boys contracted the poison while handling
the calf.
prominent Atchison physician refuses to
accept the nine year theory about poisoned
milk.

weekly review of trade says:
Very rarely has such strain bean put upon
the productive industries AMI legitimate
business as by the enormous exports of gold
in May. Il is q most significant fact that
after this ssvere test the state of trade Is
better for the season and moro hopeful than
it was in April, when the great movement of
gold began.
Within thirty days the largest crop of wheat
ever grown. it is probable, will be moving to
market. The government report and other
information put down the price 81 cents
last week. While the official report was not
20 favorable regarding oats, the price dropped
2 cents, though corn rose nearly ~ cents;
cotton dropped 4, to the lowest point
touched for nearly forty years; lard declined;
petroleum Is, and on the whole, the week
was not good one for the people who bet
on higher prices, but money was easier in
spite OF previous reports. Silver was lower,
and the rate of foreign exchange declined so
far that bankers admit that gold can now be
sent abroad only at a loss to those who order
it. The treasury has added about s., 400, 900
to the circulation during the week, and re-
ceipts from the interior have been heavy.
Reports from other cities show trade, while
moderate in volume, as is expected at this
season, it's facility is largely undisturbed and
exceedingly confident as to the future.
Accounts from other cities show that capa-
BILE business men IN all parts of the country
look upon the moderate shrinkage in trade
as natural result of last years short crops,
and count with great confidence upon . large
business with the full yield promised this
year.
The iron industry for months exceeding
others in decrease of production, reports a
weekly output of las, 1872 tons, against 49,
$50 last month, with decreasing stocks un.
sold, which is evidence that heavy demand
hereafter Is expected. Wool sales are also
larger here, at Boston and Philadelphia, with
moderate concessions by holders, and manu-
facturers show great confidence BY their
buying.
In all parts of the country the money mar
kets show surprising strength, notwithstand-
ing the loss of gold to Europe. and while
closeness is reported at Detroit, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, St. Louis. Nashville and Savan-
hah, reports from nearly all cities indicate
that nobody is suffering except Spectators.
In brief, tho situation is not good for gam
blers, but for producers and legitimate trad
ers it is decidedly hopeful.
The business failures throughour the coun.
try the last week number 244, compared with
A7 the week befo ore and 212 for the CORES
ponding week last year.

Fatal Wreck on the Katy,

PARSONS, KAN, June 1.-The most disas-
trous wreck that ever occurred on the NJ, K.
d 7. railway took place between Savannah
and Frink. Three men were burned to a
crisp, and six injured, some of them it is
thought fatally. Two freight engines met in
collision, and were totally demolished. The
wreck took fire and thirty cars were burned.
The two freight trains were ordered to pass
at Frink. One of them arrived at the sta
ton ahead of the other and the engineer,
seeing a train on the side track, supposed it
was the train he had orders to pass and did
not stop for orders. One of the men burned
to death was head brakeman and the other
two are unknown. The brakeman could only
be identified by the finding of q switch key
on his body.

There were several young men who took
stock in the scheme and began to save money
for that purpose. Raymond was very flush,
always giving checks for the bills he con-
tracted with our merchants, which were at
first honored, but many of which the mer-
chants now have, some of which amount to
over 500 and are worthless paper. Ray
mond was married recently in this city and
he and his wife left last Wednesday for Chi
cago. In payment for his tickets he gave
the ticket agent check which was presented
given. He told the men whom he had en-
ployed to go west, and the business men to
whom he had become indebted that he would
be back Sunday, but he failed to arrive.

Laws of tho Trade.

BosTox, June 13.-The International Typo
graphical union non-concurred in the propo-
sition to admit testimony of union men, not
members of the I. T. o., when charges are
made against members of local unions: de-
feated the proposition providing for an in
dustrial exhibit on the part of printers at the

change the union label of printers so as to
make it applicable to all forms of printing;
adopted the proposition that all work done
by union compositors be sent to union stere-
otyping Offices.
The committee reported in favor of all
union printers demanding union labels in all
cases, on all goods. which was agreed to by
the convention. A resolution favorng gov
eTnmental control of telesra2hs was adopted.
A resolution that subordinate unions an
nually submit a scale of wages to employers

Sir w. G. Cumming Loses.

LONDON, June 11.-After the lord chief JUS
tice had delivered long charge to the jury
they retired, but in few minutes returned
with a verdict for the defeddants, who had
been charged with hbeling Cumming.
Sir William Gordon Cumming, although
he did not establish the fact of libel. sue
ceeded in what he was most determined to
do; namely, the showing up before the whole
kingdom the Prince of Wales and others
who had demanded of him the ignominious
signing of paper that he would never play
cards. The effect of this fresh exposure of
the princes dlssolute character is tremend-
GUS, particularly among the church people,
who with one accord denounce the prince
for gambling.

Destruction on the Rcd River.

AHDMeRH, I. T., june 13.-Repors 10
ceivsd here give heartrending accounts OF
the fearful havoc to both life and property
in the overlooked valleys of the Red river in
Texas and the territory. Since Sunday the
r1ver has been higher than known for years.
Dwellings and business houses have been
swept away, crops destroyed and stock of
all kinds drowned.
A hatboat containing several men, who
were endeavorlng to rescue families who had
near Fleetwood, was capsized and four of
them wore drowned.
The rush Of the waters was 80 rapid and
unexpected that but few had time to seek
safety on higher lands, and 1t is feared that
many people who are now missing have been
drowned. At this writing it is impossible to
ascertain the loss of life or value of property
destroyed. Many families have been rem
dered homeless.

Necessity for Closing tho Asylums.

Necessity for Closing tho AsylumA
TOPEKA, June 1h-The attorney general
says that the eight hour law does no. affect
the state printer. That functionary il .
state officer and by some error in the bill he
is left out of the list of those whose em-
ployes can take advantage of the new Law.
The law provides that the state and con-
tractors or sub contractors doing work for
or in behalf of the state, shall not permit
their employees to work more than eight
hours and shall pay for this work tho regular
per diem wages usually paid In the vicinity
where the work is done.
A state officer, however, may employ help,
paying them out of his own pocket, and in
this case the law does not In any way inter-
fere with his business. The assistants of state
officers whose salaries are provided for by
the legislature are not affected.
Attorney General Ives said: 'The law
misses the state printer entirely, but hits the
charitable institutions of the state. It makes
it an offense punishable by fine and impris-
onment for the officers of these Institutions
even to permit the state employees under
their direction to work more than eight
hours. This will necessitate three shifts Of
men in every state institution where two
shifts have done the work satisfactorily here
tofore. The result is that our appropria-
tions for work at the state institutions will
be exhausted before the LIST of October this
year and will fall four months short next
year.
81 don't know what the remedy for the
deficiency will be, but from present appear
ances it looks very much "a though we would
be compelled to endure a special session of
the legislature if our charitable institutions
are to be kept up. l do not understand how
the bill could pass both houses in Its present
shape, for evidently it was not what the leg
islature intended. The courts, however. can
only take cognizance Of what the law is, not
what it was intended to be. It is in the ma
ture of a criminal statute, az its violation is
punishable by fine ana imprisonment, and
under the rules of construction it must be
strictly construed"

TORONTO, June 10.-The Empire (conserv-

Macdonald says: Now the opportunity they
have hoped for has come, and every force
that can be used for blotting out from the
map the name of Canada and handing it
over to the United States will be marshalled
for the fray with redoubled fury. The plot
tiers and traitors, both domestic and foreign,
who are seeking to bring about annexation
of the country TO the United States, through
the spurious schemes of unrestricted reci-
procity or continental free trade, have been
80 completely crushed that they will never
dare raise their heads again in Canada.

MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, June 13.-Tne North.
western Miller says: The mills ran the light
est week since February, due to the unsatis-
factory markets. The aggregate output for
the week is III, 400 barrels. against 123, 230
barrels the week before and 81, $40 barrels
for the corresponding week in 1890. Two
moro mills are now running than week
ago, and tho production promises to be in
creased. There is, however, very little in
ducement to make -four, and the tendency is
all the time toward curtailment. While the
-four market is still in most lifeless condi-
ton, still millers think there is trifle more
disposition to buy than a week ogo, and sales
effected for week back appear to b larger.
Foreigners are showing more interest in
patents.

An Effort to Unite the Roman and Crock
Churches.
ROME, June 13.-The pope has just re-
quested several competent men to furnish him
with detailed memoranda for an encyclical
letter which he proposes issuing in favor of q
reunion of the eastern and western churches.
The vatican has been under the belief that
European diplomacy would favor the main
tenance of the statu quo, and therefore give
every opposition to the desired reapproach-
ment. The pope intends to give instructions
to the representatives of the Latin church in
the east to modify their attitude toward the
rival church and to strictly avoid any action
of an inimical nature, in order that a moro
friendly spirit may be generated between the
Two churches,
