ASTOR NOT DEAD.
The False Report Cabled by the Lon
don Manager OF the Estate.

The False Report Cabled by the Lon
don Manager OF the Estate.
LONDON, July i2.-In response to numer-
Gus kilograms from the United States saying
that it was reported that William Waldorf
Astor had died in London yesterday q rep
resentative of ths Associated Press called at
Landsdowne house, Mr.. Astor's London res
idencs, ana learned that Mr.. Astor was not
dead but bad passed a good night and in
tended to riss from his bed during the day.
Notice OF the death Of W. w. Astor re-
manned posted on the door Of the Office Of
she Astor estate until late this afternoon,
Notwithstanding the Associated Press dis
patches announcing that ths report was un-
true. Manager Baldwin Of the Astor es-
tate received a cablegram from London
signed by the London agent OF the estate
announcing the death Of Mr.. Astor and re-
questing that the usual death notices be-
sent to the newspapers and that the sexton
OF Trinity church be instructed to prepare
for the funeral, Death notices
as requested, but meantime inquiry
by the London office OF the Associated Press
showed the announcement to be incorrect.
Manager Baldwin, however, was inclined
to believe that the notice in due official
form must bs true, and waited for advices
from the Astor family in London before
taking the death notice from the door. 1t
cannot be learned who sent the false report,
for which there has been no better founda-
tion than the fact that Mr.. Astor had con-
tracted an ordinary cold.
At the Office of the Astor estate in this
city it was said to-day that the first notice
they received OF Mr.. Astor's death was Sun
day night, when a reporter from a morn
ing newspaper called at the office and said
they had received news Of Mr.. Astor's
death through the Dunlap cable agency.
1t is the opinion OF people In the Astor
office here that the false cable OF the death
was sent 10 affect stocks in Wall street, or
as they termed 1t, "a Wall street job"
The belief was also expressed that the Dun-
lap cable Office was used as tool in the

There was quite a party a. the gate, Mr..

LOCATION OF THE BATHS.
PARIS, July 12.-Ths baths OF st. Gervias
were In five separate buildings Joined by a
stone wall erected in a marrow gorge. They
we're situated about z, 2,066 feet above the sea
on the road from Geneva to Chamonis. The
glacier became detached from Mount Blanc
and fell into mountain torrent, carrying
away the hamlet OF Blonnsy and filing the
torrent with ice. Masses Of lee and wreck
age of the village formed a dam, which
etfectually restrained the water for some
time. Finally the dam broke and the waters
burst like a cataract into the stream of Bon
Naret, which passes through st. GerVais.
The residents Of the bath house were nwak-
ened about 3 O'Clock in the morning by the
rushing waters and loud crashing noise.
Before they were enable to escape three Of
the buildings we're entirely destroyed and
another partially, while the fifth escaped,
being situated on much higher ground than
the other four. The torrent ontinued into
the valley, destroying everything in its
course, The village of Lafayette, lying In
the valley, was almost entirely demolished.
The wreokags Of houses was swept on for
miles into the Arve. Down the latter
stream corpses and wrsckage have been
seen floating all day long. The full NOR
tality is not yet known, but it is believed
that rs persons perished at the baths alone
and at least SO Of the inhabitants Of Lsfay-
cite. The estimate of the number Of dead
10 1870.

GRAY GABLES
BUZzARD's BAY, MASS, July z, 1892.
j. W. Can DbeLL Esq
Ny DEAR SIR desire to thank you for
sending me a copy OF the resolutions adopted
by the democracy of Middlesboro and to assure
you that the kind allusions to me therein are
fully appreciated.
/ do not wonder that those adopting these
resolutions speak of the force bill as a horror
of republcanism. Such doctrines as it en-
bodies direct attacks upon the theory
Of our government, and while such
measure especially menaces the
welfare and prosperity of the south it
must be condemned and denounced by all those
everywhere who love their country, and have
the least claim to be numbered among those
who believe in the principles of true democracy
Very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND.

Sundays Mt the worlds Fair.

1t has been explained by Director
General Davis and other Worlds Fair
officials, who are inclined to favor Sun
day opening. that IL is not the intention
or desire that the fair shall be opened
on Sundays in the wide" way in which
it will be ON week days. On the con-
trary, they would have tho machinery
stopped, all manufacturing processes at
standstill, and every description of
work by employees reduced to n mini
mum. Religious services and choral
and other musical entertainments could
be held in the numerous halls and audi
forums which the buildings will con-
tain. The people could stroll through
the park, viewing its Respondent beau
ties of nature and wonderful achieve
ments Of mans handiwork; could enter
the buildings to enjoy the work of'pain-
ter and sculptor, and to- learn and profit
from exhibits of innumerable descript
ion. Very few employees, compare
lively, would be required tn remain on
duty on SUNDAY. and those chiefly for
watchmen and guards. These would be
required to work seven days in the week.
To care for the thousands of visitors at
the fair on Sunday would not require
more persons to work on that day than
would be necessary were those sa mo
thousands togo elsewhe Had it been
understood from the beginning that the
Sunday opening of tho fair would be OF
the kind indicated-orderly and cduca
tional instead of noisy and demoralizing
it is believed that the petitions and
protests against Sunday fair would
have been far less numerous.
