But It Is Said the Per Capita Tax Went
Through by Mistake.
Court Hoboken of the Foresters last
night. at its meeting at Philibert's As
sembly Rooms, Hoboken, decided to pay
the per capita tax SO long in dispute to
the Grand Court. The members so de-
cided before they knew what they were
doing. A statement was received from
the Grand Secretary to the effect that the
Court was indebted to the Grand Court in
the sum of $685. The statement was re-
ceived and the amount ordered paid. and
after the vote was declared the members
saw they had acted hastily, as the
amounts due were $3.50 for incidental
matters, and SS.0S was the
per capita tax. There was
q spirited debate in "Good of the
Order" bur the motion was not recon
sidered. The matter will be fought over
again OF the next meeting.

WHERE SOLDIERS ARE SHOT.

A Doctor Shows That Their Heads Are
Oftensst the Enemy's Target
+ In the newly-published work on gun
shot wounds, DR.. Ludwig Brandt gives
some interesting statistics about the
Franco-Prussian War In 1S70-71. The
number of officers and men Of all ranks
belonging to the German armies who
were wounded during the war amounted
to the immense total OF 1861. OF these,
99, ,566 survived: II, ,023 died in hospital,
and 6, ,223 died on the field of battle.
The wounds OF those who we're under
hospital treatment, including the wounds
of those who died in hospital. were thus
lstributed:-Wounds of the head, II ,041;
of the neck. 1.922; of the chest aud back,
II, ,495; abdomen. 1853; upper extremities,
1859; while in 3.721 instances the situ-
atIons Of the wounds have not been rs-
corded,
A noticeable fact is the unusually large
proportion of wounds of the head, which
nearly equal those of the chest aud back
together, and approach three times the
number of those of the abdomen. The
number given III ,041, however, includes
2130 injuries to the face.
The wounds by rifle bullets more than
double the NUN Der of those caused by ar
tilIerv projectiles; but the info ormation in
this respect is not Of much value, as, out
of 2030 gunshot wounds of the face. in no
fewer. than 1898 instances the particular
projectiles by which the wounds were
caused have not been recorded.
Only Is out of the 2,l20 injuries of the
face were sabre wounds, and no bayonet
wounds appear among the number. The
author calls attention to the fact that in
war injuries of the jawboses occur more
frequently than Injuries of other bones in
this region; and that many of them are of
cases treated in the hospitals, 10l proved
fatal, while in many Of the recoveries
difficulties of mastication and even OF
feeding with loss of power of speech, have
resulted. Tho British Medical Journal.

LONDON, April 1.-THE situation in
Hull to-day is quite gloomy for the
strikers, and To judge from present in
dications the shipping federation will
win in its struggle to employ such
men, union or non-union as its mem
bers please. -Four hundred additional
uon-union men arrived in Hull to-day
20 take the place of unionists who had
quit work. They were al once placed
at work. There are now, altogether,
1900 non-unionistS employed on the
docks and ii is thought that no as
sault> win be made upon them, as they
are protected by dragons and police
men.
As the strikers see their chances of
winning daily becoming less they
evinoc a decidedly ugly feeling but
with the precautions already taken
further riotous demonstrations about
the wharves are not apprehended. The
firms in Hull engaged IN the tim Der
carrying trade who, since the begin
ming OF the strike, have let their yes
sells remain idle, announced to-day
that unless their employees resume
work at once other men will be en-
gagged TO till their places The mem
oers Qf the shipping federation ex
press themselves Us confident of beat
ing the strikers
The riotous acts of the latter have
done much To destroy popular sympathy
with them, The authorities are vigil
ant and further attempt at rioting will
be promptly suppressed 10y the police

London, April l1.-Sparks from an
engine ignited the gas in a coal pit
near Pontry Pndd, Wales, about 2:3O
this afternoon and caused a frghtful
EXPLOSION A large number of miners
we're at work at the time and terrible
havoc was caused.
The engine house took fire and the
rescuers who went down were driven
hack without being able to bring up
more than five of the dead.
Most agonizing scenes were witnessed
among the throngs Of men, women and
children, many of them relatives of
those below.
Seventy men succccde in reaching the
surface through the main dip-wOrlling,
led by a miner who knew the roads.
They had a terrible struggle reaching
the surface, forcing their way through
the fire and smoke.
At 9.45 o'clock this evening it is
still impossible to obtain more than
meagre details of the accident The
men who saved themselves were too
much confused and frightened to OBJ
serve the positions OF lhelr IellOW
workingmen. They are unable to give
any clear account Of the distribution Of
the miners, and the work Of rescue
must therefore proceed under all the
difficulties Of uncertainty
At present the flames and smoke
would render any attempt at rescue
vain, if not fatal 10 the party making
the descent. There is little doubt
moreover that most, if not all, of the
men left below have been suffocated
or burned to death.
A second attempt to enter the seam
in which the fire started proved re-
Fultless Although the rescue party
saw six dead bodies they were prevent
cd by smoke and heat from reaching
them. The number of men still ia
the mine cannot be ascertained, al
though it is Inown to be large.

THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE.
Looking After the Alum and Ammonia
Baking Powders.
Chicago Inter Ocean

A bill for an act entitled can Act to
Regulate the Traffic in Baking Powder"
has been introduced in the legislature
in Springfield, by Mr. Nohe, The bill is
intended to prevent the authorizations of
baking powders with ammonia or alum,
imposing proper penalties 10 enforce the
law, etc. This shows an earnest desire
on the part Of our representatives to
protect their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune referring to the
question on alum and ammonia in bak-
ing powders, says: 1T deals in a direct
manner with an evil that must be cut
down"
Following is partial list of the
names of the brands sold in this state
that have been examined and found to
contain either ammonia or alum. Many
Of the alum and ammonia powders are
labeled and advertised as absolutely
pure to mislead the public.

Yeast" Grants Bon Bon" Hotel"
Snow Ball" Zipp's Crystal" Mon

lection" white Rose Daisy"
"Hatchet" Yankee Star Crystal"

STANDARD"
In addition to the above list there is a
multitude Of brands sold with prize.
rs the tests show they are composed
largely of alum and cost but a few
cents per pound. Also refuse any bak-
ing powder sold at twenty-five cents a
pound or less; it is sure to contain
alum
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to experiment
with these impre powders at the risk Of
health Aside from the question Of
health or the wholesomeness Of these
condemned powders, and viewed from
tine standpoint If economy alone, a pure
