ton of the significant fact an unusual NUM-
Der Of small orders are reaching the mar

of the year when general apathy is looked

placed fer cotton goods at unchanged
prices but the orders are small Print
cloths are easing off little under the in
fiuence of lower raw material Prints and
printed fabrics are quiet. Ginghams and
we'll Hosiery and underwear show dull
ness, with the heavyweights inclined TO
weakness. The same is true of wooden
goods generally. Foreign dry goods are
dull and nominally unchanged The job

TOLEDO, July 11.-Yesterday morn
ing Louis Nape, of the Toledo Electric
Light Company, was instantly killed
while working at the top of pole. He
was fixing what was supposed to be
broken and dead wire. Unfortunately
it had come in contact with IA live wire
and the insulation was burned off.
Nape's spur on his heel touched a
grounded telephone wire and his body
completed the circuit. He fell to the
wire and the limp body caught on a
rope suspended between the poles and
hung in mid air, smoking and flashing
at the points of contact with the wires.
When the body was cut down it was
found that the flesh had been burned
away to the bones on the hands and
one foot.

Fatal Epidemic OF Measles.

CAMBRIDGE, July 12. - During the
triple funeral of three daughters of
Samuel Cunningham, of Antrim, this
county, fourth daughter died. Two
other daughters and one son are sick

neral was held, died the same day and
We're buried in one grave The disease
with which the family is stricken was
at first supposed to be measles, but it
has completely baffied the skill of the
local physicians. Two grown sons and
a daughter of Eli Jenkins, a neighbor,
have died of the same disease, and the
other members of the jenkins family
are sick with little hope of recovery.

for some reason they hesitated for
minute and that minute cut off their
escape in that direction, as the wind
swept the flames around the hose and
speedily burned It in two.
An Awful Scene.
Through the smoke and the flames
the tall figure of Capt. Fitzpatrick was
plainly visible, and by his gestures it
was evident that he was issuing orders
to his men. Slowly one by one
they turned and commenced to
creep around the balcony to the
north side, the flames almost
touching their hands and feet. There
was no hurrying, no panic. Every man
awaited his turn, and insome instances
insisted on another taking precedence.
The heart of the unlocking multitude
stood still as the perilous journey was
being made, and cheer marked its com
pletion. But the men were no better off
there. The flames had worked their
way upward all around the tower and
they could not escape them much long
er. A rope was thrown out and fell al
most to the roof, but before man
could grasp it it was burnt in two.

supposed to have been burned to death.
The fire broke out in the tall chimney,

feet above them the firemen were
wrapped in flames that burst out with

jumped, some into pit of fire, others
onto the roof, from which, MANNED and
bruised, they were taken to the hos

Just exactly how the fire started will
probably never be known, but the
flames first appeared on the top
of the wooden cupola which sur
mounted the smokcstack. The stack,
1oi feet high, was built of steel or iron
pipe incased in wood. 1t was just a
triling blaze at first, but the little
tongues of flame, famed by stiff
breeze from the northeast, circled
around and around, gradually eating
their way downward until the
wooden pillars We're on fire. By
this time the fremen had reached
the main roof of the build
ing, and under orders from Act
ing Chief Murphy commenced to climb
to the first platform, 20 feet from the
roof. They ascended by means of wood.

tower, taking no ladders with them and
but three or four coils of rope. The
first effort to get line of hose up was

ing, an extension ladder being run ut

there. Then the men on the tower let
down two of their ropes, which were
attached to the hose, and the work of
drawing up commenced.
All this time the flames We're slowly
consuming the crown of the tower and
pieces of blazing wood droppping down
inside and between the stack and its
covering of pine started the flames
which soon wrapped the men in an en-
brace of death. Ten minutes had
elapsed before even thought
of danger struck the fremen,
but little puff of white
smoke that came from near their feet
told them that they Were standing
on dangerous ground. The men on the
roof began to feel heat that did not
come from above, and simultaneously
with their shouts of warning came a
cry of horror from the crowd. The
eyes of $4,000 people caught sight
of tongue of fame breaking
out just below the platform on
which the frcmen We're standing,
still pulling up the hose. Instantane-
ously from between every pillar and
seemingly from out the very walls
swept sheets of flame, which curled up
ward, wrapping the tower in their EN-
brace. Men who had shouted warn
ing the moment before stood dumb be
fore the awful sight, the women in the
multitude alone found voice. Then
shrieks rose above the roaring ano
cracking of the flames, and as they
died away, Il vast moan swept over the
crowd--a pitiful cry from strong mer
who knew that death in its most awfu
form had claimed those whose form.
We're just visible through the smoke.

FOUGHT WITH PARIS MODS.
Mounted Police and Military Charge Upon
the Rioters-Many Injured.

PARIS, July S.-Friday evening
opened with the police apprehensive Of
riots in many parts of the Lati-
quarter. Traffic was stopped in the
principal streets. Every open space
had been occupied by mounted
police and all the side streets
were compelled to move on whenever
they tried to call crowd Most of the
crowds therefore retired to the Seine,
where they denounced the police and
exhorted their hearers to clear the
streets of military.
In the Boulevard Voltaire and the
Boulevard du Temple the rioters were
armed with clubs and few revolvers.
They marched, cheering and singing,
toward the Place de la Republique.
At the corner of the Rue
d'Angouleme the rioters in the
Boulevard Voltaire We're met by
a body of dragons and lancers. They
We're ordered back, but pressed ahead.
The military charged but although
many rioters were knocked down and
trampled, the mob did not yield. The
soldiers were received with showers OF
stones and scattering shots. Several
We're struck with clubs. The charge was
repeated, and the mob began retreat
ing slowly. There was no scattering
or sign of panic. The men backed OFF
step by step, those in front welding
their clubs right and left and those be-
hind splitting up booths and kioslls into
weapons After six charges the mil
itary had forced the mob back to the
Boulevard Richard Lenoir, where the
fighting was suspended. 5#
In their retreat the rioters set fire to
the booths which they did not split into
clubs. For five blocks the Boule
ward Voltaire is strewn with
broken timbers, charred boards
and torn and bloody clothing
Most of the windows Were smashed
during the conflict. Thirty or forty
rioters are known to have been serious
ly wounded. Many others received
slight injuries. Two laneers are saic
to have been wounded by revolver shots
