Ell DENGUE,

Una ves admitldo que las enfsr-
medades espidenicas son en- su
esencia tan indefinibles hoy para
los pat6logos actuales, como 10 fue.
ron para Ell primer epidemi6logo de
los siglos, ell famoso Hip6crates, me
parece oportuno hacer algunas con-
'ideraciones sobre la epidemia ac-
tual, tales como me las sugiere la
observation atenta de los hechoe.
Fac un error indisculpable ell
que Sc cometi6 al auunciar que la
enfermedad era absolutamente ino-
fensiva. Esto di6 lugar & que todo
el mundo tomara q broma el dicho-
so catarro, cuya ferocidad esta en-
telaci6n con la despreocupsci6n ,
los alardes de valentia de los indi-
viduos que 10 padecen. Cuanto mas
empeno pongan estos en- aparen.

da, mas decision poae el catarro
en- hacer DOLLAR Ia cabsza, y al fin
oonsigue su objeto, de tai modo,
que ell enfermo cae postrado en- ca.
ma de una manera alafmente y Pc
ligrosa.
Hubieranse limitaio en- IN prin.

THREE WERE KILLED.
Result of the Fort Orange Mill Fire at
 Albany.

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 20.-A boiler in the Fort Orange Milling Company build ing on the pier, exploded shortly after noon and that and several other buildings were soon a mass of flames
 As there are boilers in the other build ings the flremen kept as far away as possi- ble
 Shortly after p. m., the men of steamer company No. 4, who were work ing inside of the ruins, were ordered home by the chief
 As they proceeded to get out by the river front, the east wall, which was standing 60 feet high, toppled over with out a moments warning, the upper half falling inward, and the lower half out upon the dock.
 Seven men were buried under eight feet of debris, and as soon as their comrades recovered from the shock caused by the sight of the human burial, they set to work with willing hands to extricate the unfortunate men.
 James ,Shattuck, jr., Bernard Banner, his brother, Fred Banner, and John Whit nell, were first rescued.
 Of these only Bernard Banner was com pletely buried and but for the quick work of rescue would have perished.
 Whirnell and Bernard Banner were anu "CIG LdhCA " CAC hospital in the ambulance. The house physician, after an examination, said Bernard Banner would likely die, but thought Whitnell would pull through all right.
 Shattuck and Fred Banner were not badly hurt.
 The firemen continued working on the ruins and in few minutes came upon the dead bodies of Charles E. Marshall, fore Ial,, D,;I ford.

SOCIAL SENSATION AT NASHVILLE

She Had Been Married Hut a Short Time
 When Her Husband, One of the Wealth.
 fest Men of Tennessee, Deserted Her-Ns
 Reason Given for His Act-The Plaintir
 One of the Most Beautiful Women Ever
 Seen in Washington.
 NASHVILLE, Dec 20.-For months past . sensation has been brewing here in which national society has been interested. It exploded yesterday in the filing of a bill for divorce and alimony by Mrs. Saidee Polk Gardner against her husband, M. NJ. Gardner, one of the wealthiest men in the State
 Mrs. Gardner is the granddaughter oi Presid ent James Knox Polk and was g belle in Washington and New York foI three seasons at the former place, being pronounced the most beautiful woman Nashville had ever sent to the capital
 On May 12, 1891, she was married to Mir. Gardner. They lived together in compar ative happiness for six months, when foI some unaccountable reason Gardner left his beautiful wife and gave her no expla- nation. Every sort of rumor has been put on wings about them, and as a result the friends of both stand facing each other.
 Mrs. Gardner files letters written to her by her husband before and after the mar riage, which are full of loving expressions and VOWS of eternal fidelity.
 There was a rumor that he left his wife because Mrs. Fall, her mother, wanted to Coutrol him and his immense property. This is exploded by exhibits of letters to Mrs. Fail from Gardner, whose seeming love and respect for her knew no bounds. It is now said Gardner left his wife be- cause he was miserly, and did not want her to spend his money and dress as she was used to.
 She charges that she has always been a faithful and dutiful wife and tried time and again to win him back; that he has wantonly and deliberately deserted her and refused to provide for her support, and that he is now trying to dispose of his property to defeat her claims for ali mony. She asks for alimony, that 8 re- ceiver be appointed and that the bonds of marriage be dissolved.
 Chancellor Allison has issued an in junction restraining Gardner from selling his property.

The concensus of opinion among sporting men is that this will be a rattling battle. While Trimmer is gen. erally conceded to be the cleverer of the two, it is the opinion of such renowned fighters as Fitzsimmons and Choynski that McGrath will give him hard fight.
 Previous to the Trimmer McGrath h fight, on the same evening" there will be a preliminary ''bout" of ten rounds between Hugh Boyle of Elizabeth, and Con Sullivan of this city.
 The second event on the programme will be an eight round encounter between Billy Leedham of Philadelphia and Jack McGee. Both the latter are men of the hard hitting order, and knockout is not improbable. This fight will be for a purse of $500. The men will fight at 154 pounds. The prices of admission to the three fights will be $3, $5 and $25.
