JOSephinc TOusley.s

CHICAGO, June 29.-The women OF
Chicago are manifesting more interest
in the trial of Mrs. Tousley, which be-
gan in Judge Bakers court this morn

daughter. The Illinois Woman's ALI
ance urges all women interested in the

ABUSE OF THE JEWS.
Anger of the Gar at the Danish
Crown Prince for His interference.

LoEnoN, June EFT is reported that
the car is angry at the Danish crown
prince for sending out pamphlets pro
testing against the persecution of the
Jews in Russia. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that this will interfere with the
ears visit to the Danish court. The
populace attacked and looted the Jew
and maltreated the occupants, who fed
to their homes, which they barricaded
against their prosecutors. AS a result
of these attacks an edict has been is
sued threatening a declaration Of mar
trial law for excuses against the Jews

SKIN LIKE SHEET IRON.
A Patient at Bellevue Hospital AZ
ficted with a Rare Disease.

NEW YORK, June Fitzpatrick Wood,
a patient in Bellevue Hospital is re-
garded by the doctors as a phenome-
non. His skin has gradually hardened
until it is now like covering of sheet
iron, not SO hard but as unyielding.
He is as helpless as though he were a
statue. He cannot move hand or foot.
The disease is rare one and has been
diagnosed as schleroderma, or hide
bound. There is no known cure for
it. Woods is forty-two years of age
and painter by trade. He has been
in the hospital seven years.

brick conduit has been established
the question whether Brooklyn is
to have a wator famine or not

wator through the CONDUIT was smut Off as a
precautionary measure, it being feared that
tho washout OF sand by water Of the Brook
Ign main Of tho Long Island Water Supply
company might have caused the conduit to
saltie even If it had not even broken it,
This afternoon the top OF the conduit was
uncovered by the men at work and it APP
peared to be all right. An engineer with
two iGborers entered the conduit, some dis
lance above the place of the disaster, for
the purpose OF floating throus III it in boat
TO make an inspection, there being over
threo feet OF water in it. Tie two laborers,
however fell into the water, the boat float
away and tie inspection was aban-
doned. Early In tao day genera,
alarm was soat out directing the
police to notify every householder and
manufacturer to carefully save the water
At noon the supply IN the central portion of
the city was shut Off, il small supply was
had from cross street pipes, but the pressure
in the distric was SO reduced as to cut the
water OFT from every floor above the fret.
IL Is being done to tle city water as soon as
possible. This will be accomplished by using
an old conduit from the Hampstead ponds.

BUR -iNGTONlANS AT MIDOLEBURY.


The Queen City Boys did Good Work and
Were Roynily Entertained.
MIDDLEBURY, Nov. 23.-The iiremen
from Burlington did not arrive here during
the wort part OF the fire, but the way they
worked when they did reach the scene made
Mlddlebury people wish that they could
haro bad their aid earlier. They showed
that they thoroughly understood what they
were about and although many of tic men
were not at all acquainted with Middlebury
they occupied but little time in getting their
apparatus in place. The Queen City spe
clal reached hero about 1880 O. clock. The
Ethaus brought their engine and cart and
tho Boxers had also a cart. The mud from
the depot to the scene Of the fire was several
inches deep and genuine Addison county
clay at that. The hremen stationed
tb ouiselves at the bridge and worked about
two and one half hours. There was not
then great danger of the fire spreading,
though the bridge caught several times and
this was the locality that most needed atten-
ton. Every now and then the flames would
reach some unburned portion of building
and flare up for several minutes, lighting
up tho ruins Of the destroyed portion of the
village. Streams were kept on the fire I'M
til 30 o'clock and the boys were treated to
refreshments while at work.
At this hour all wore invited to the Logan
House where Mine Host Sargent served a
very nice lunch, by direction of the people
of this village. The apparatus was drawn
back to the depot about 2 o'clock, and the
special started for Burlington shortly after
o'clock.

Terrible Result of Dynamite Explosion
at White Pigeon, Mich.
WHITE PIGEON, Mich, Sept. 4.-The
dynamite factory of +. A. Reynolds &
Co., near this place, exploded last even
ing. 1t is estimated that there were
about twenty tons of dynamite in the
building, which was three-story brick.
Scarcely vestige of it remains.
Sixteen workmen, mostly Swedes and
N OF wegians, were annihilatcd; not an
atom of them is to be found, and it is
impossible to learn their names, as the
company's books, pay rolls, etc, are
lost. The property loss is estimated at
$35, 900.
The conclusion in White Pigeon was
awful and citizcns were badly fright
ened. Goods in the stores were thu own
from the shelves and houses rocked to
and fro. The spire of the German
Lutheran church fell with loud crash
and the walls of several buildings are
cracked and damaged.

FORGER In ARMY BLUE.
Flight of o st. Paul officer With the Ad-
jutant's Funds.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept. s. Edward ].
Cummings, the confidential clerk
of Col. and Adjt-Gen. Bar
bour, of the Department of Da-
kota. is a defaulter, forger and
a deserter. Col. Barbour is away on a
leave of absence and Capt. Murray is
acting adjutant general. The day
before yesterday Cummings came
into Capt. Murray's Office and
asked leave of absence for two
hours, which was granted. He did not
return when he was expected, and
later in the day the suspicious of the
officers we're aroused. Upon looking
through the Office books it was discov-
cred that six of the checks from Col.
Barbour's check-book were missing,
having been neatly cut out. Attic bank
clearing house here to-day four of these
checks have come in, each of which are
clerk, whose whereabouts is mystery.
Cummings salary was 1888 per
month. One check is for $l66.66, pur-
porting to be salary for the months of
July and August. This was cashed
by West Seventh Street butcher, to
whom Cummings owed bill of SIS.
The butcher was suspicious and gave
Cummings only $50 change, telling him
to come in the next day for the bal
ance. Cummings did not call
again. Another check was for 1888,
and this was cashed by L. w. Bazelle,
who gave him in part payment check
for $50. This latter check Cummings
took to Wagner's grocery, where he
owed $40, and received $50 in change.
Another check for 1888 was cashed by
j. w. Mason, of the City Hotel,
where Cummings owed bill of $40.
The fourth check was for 500 and was
cashed by Donahue d Lee, grocers.
The other two checks have not yet
turned up.
Cummings is an enlisted man and con-
sequently deserter. Three years ago
he was sergeant major of the First
United States Cavalry at Fort Custer,
Mont. He was a fne-looking man
about 30 years of age. He leaves
u wife and two children at his home
near Macallster College, where he re-
sided. The wife will not believe that he
has defaulted

HOW TO HANDLE STATE FUNDS.

Before the Legislative Committee.

Gov. Pattison, OF PennsylvHnia, Testifies
Before the Legislative Committee.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 4.-The leg
islative committee, appointed to inves-
tigate the state treasurer's Office, met
here this morning. Gov. Pattison was
asked if he could suggest any better
method than the present system of
auditing state accounts. In reply the
Governor said that in his opinion the
present system was all wrong. Underit
the state treasurer has absolute control
OF about $4,000, 600 for which the state
has only security to the amount of
$500, 900. In the opinion of Gov. Patti
son the system of all warrants being
countersigned by the controller should
be adopted. Gov. Pattison also said
that he thought the system of deposit
ing state money was wrong. Security
should be required by the state for the
money deposited, about $l25, 900 for
every 100000 being, in the Governors
opinion, about the right amount.
The committee, after hearing the
testimonies of several cashiers of banks
where state money was deposited, that
they had not paid interest on the state
deposit, or shown favor, nor that no
consideration had been shown in return
for the deposits, the committee adj
iOurned until tomorrow.
