PREPARING FOR BUSINESS.
Politicians at Washington Think the Sherman
Law will Be Repealed.

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The advance
guard of members Of the Fifty-third con-
gress coming to attend the special session
which will begin a week from today, are
at the capital Among those who have ar
rived, the opinion seems to be unanimous
that the Sherman silver law will and
must be repealed, or at least the silver
purchasing clause. but what shall follow
Is an unknown quantity.
Representative Geary OF California,
known to fame In connection with the
Chinese exclusion and registration act,
which bears his name, says: II am salts
fed that the Sherman law will go, and
that 10 its stead we will have something
Of benefit, instead Of harm. In place of
the present tariff law the chances are
that we will have one that is new from
top to bottom.
"There will be very radical changes In
the schedule. The country expects this.
The declarations OF the Democratic plat
form are so plain that there is no chance
to misunderstood them. I do not think
that action upon the silver question or the
tariff will Re so long delayed as some
papers seem to have imagined"

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
A Woman Impaled In a Car by q Falling
Lever and Afterwards Dies

CHICAGO, July 31.-A peculiar accident
occurred at the east end of the Harrison
street bridge Saturday.
An open car approached the bridge at
q good rate of speed. AS 1t struck the
east end Of the bridge, the latter swayed
up and down for moment. The heavy,
pointed hard wood tightening lever at the
east end Of the bridge fell from its fasten-
ings and swung around directly against
the right side Of the car.
Miss Nellie Riordan sat at the outer
edge Of a seat near the middle Of the car
and the pointed end of the lever struck
her In the groin, passed through her body
and made hole in the back Of the seat In
which she was sitting.
A physician, who was summoned from a
house near by, said the woman would
bleed to death IL the lever was withdrawn
from her body. A saw was procured and
the lever was sawed off two feet from
Miss Riordan's body. She regained con-
sciousness and was told that she would
probably soon die The surgeons removed
the piece Of the lever, and. in a few min
utes, she died from loss Of blood.
The flying splinters made by the bridge
lever crashed through the seats of the car
and endangered many lives. A long,
sharp splinter struck Mrs. Maggie Carey,
Mrs. Annie Dexter and Mrs. Maggie Ash
croft who were seriously injured, but will
nrohably recover

sulphur Destroy, Many Lemons.

New Orleans importers OF lemons from
Sicily have made queer discovery which
cost them heavily. During the latter part
OF December the Italian steamship Inizi-
tiya arrived with a load of fine lemons
and horde of Sicilian immigrants.
The lemons brought excellent prices
on account of the fine color Of the fruit and
its apparent freshness. la a fc y DAYS how
ever. the lemons wlthered aud not trace
of acid could be found in them. The sell
was soon discovered and an attempt was
made to fix the blame upon the ship
pers. who were believed to have dec
tored the fruit It has been learned,
however, that the ocular loss of
juice in the lemons while they retained
their rich color was due to the fumes Of
sulphur which were used at quarantine to
fumgate the ship and her passengers when
she arrived The importers Intend to urge
this as reason against the admission o.
immigrants to ships bringing perishable
cargoes

Tells All He Knows of the Scandalous Pan
anna Affair.

IL appears that NJ. Charles de Lesseps
and NJ. Marius Fontane, general secretary
of the Panama Canal, have, under secret
influence exercised in prison. made confess
sions. The first result of the confession
was the arrest Of NJ. Blondin, and ether ar
rests are probable. The rumor runs that
more members OF Parliament have been
implicated that they will be prosecuted
and rejoin their ten colleagues of the Sen
ate and Chamber, who have already been
arrested. The charges against NJ Baihut,
who was Minister of Public Works in the
De Freycinet Cabinet have aroused great
interest, largely on account of the peculiar
social career of NJ Baihut and his connec-
ton with the divorced wife of NJ Armen-
gaud.
