WOODEN CLOCKS.

Watchmakers' Signs Made to Perpetu-
ate Sentiment.
Wooden clocks are a strange thing to
perpetuate sentiment.
There are only few people out of
every hundred who know or have heard
that such is the capability of two.thirds
of the garish clocks of wood which are
used as signs by jewellers.
Teko tho sioohu vf this l~sU.;r .;or
which are stuck up on the sidewalks IN
Los Angeles as signs, and two-thlrds,
possibly three-fourths of them, stand
for as pretty little bit of sentiment ss
one can observe. After the death OF
Abraham Lincoln jeweler in Washing
ton named Linkgek made a wooden
clock for sign. The thought
struck him that he would make
the hands point to the time
when the president died. He made the
hands point to twenty minutes past 8
O'Clock. He told his friends the reason
for this particular position OF the hands
of the clock. They told some one else,
and first one, then another jeweler had
his sign altered to fit the historic time.
The idea spread to other cities, and il
was not long before the wooden jewel,
ers' signs were chroniciing the time Of
Lincein's death. Some jewelers. as
sociations heard of it, and the matter
was made a subject of resolutions by
them. As time went on it became one
of those traditions that stick, and the
great majority of the clocks go made to-
day point with their immovable hands
to the hour and the minute when the
great war president died.

VANCOUVER. B. c., July 26.-The
steamship Empress of India. which ar
rived yesterday, brings details of the
murder of two Swedish missionaries by
Chinese fanatics at Sung-Pu. Revs.
Wikholm and Johansen, the mission.
aries, arrived in Sung-Pu last April
and were the only missionaries there.
Sung-Pu is an important market place
northeast of Hankow and contains about
$4,000 inhabitants. They made no con-
verts. but on the contrary their lives
were in danger almost from the start.
They were warned by their servant
that they would be killed on July 1st,
but took no precautions except to send
letter to the magistrate demanding
protection. Early in the morning OF
July Let the missionaries' house was
surrounded by mob composed of loaf
ers, tradesmen and scholars, who clam
ored for their blood.
Stones were thrown at the house and
the windows battered in until the mis-
sionaries could no longer remain in the
house. They attempted to escape over
the roofs of the houses, but were fol-
lowed by the mob. Finally they could 60
no further and dropped into the street
into the hands of the mob. Their suffer-
ings were short. Wikholm's skull was
smashed with an ak, and Mr..
Johansen was speedily beaten out
OF all resemblance to human shape
by bamboo rods and iron bars.
The bodies were stripped naked
and subjected to revolving mutilations
and left on the street for the dogs to eat.
The mob then looted and burned the
missionaries' house. Two missionaries
from Hankow, in company with man
DARN and soldiers, left for Sung-pu on
July 4th to investigate the matter and
recover the bodies.
An explosion at the Canton powder
works killed over 80 people, injured 300
and destroyed the homes of 1000 people.

New YORK, July 26.-It is semi-offi-

net earnings the next three years will
be applied to paying off the floating
debt and thus prevent reorganization
and assessment.
The decision to put the Erie road into
the hands Of receiver was not reached
till late yesterday, as it was found neces-
sary to prevent the sacrificing of aecuri-
ties. The company's floating debt is
about $6,000,000. Considerable is held
abroad, but is well secured.
d. o. Mills, said to be one of the larg-
est holders of Erie seconds. says in re-
gard to the receivership: "Undoubtedly
confidence has received another shock.
but the public must recognize the strin-
gent times through which we are pass

is there is very little money and in times
