The EXPORTS of Gold.

Some alarm has been created in
financial circles by the rapid growth
recently in the bulk of our gold eX-
ports. 1t is true that. according to
statistical prcccdcnts, the flow of
gold should be in the contrary direc-
tion. Our merchandise exports in
November amounted to 500, 900, 900,
and our imports to $40, 100000. Very
naturally we might expect Il return
of gold to meet the trade balance of
$40, 200, 900 in our favor. Instead of
that, however, our shipments of gold
to the other side are growing steadily
larger.
A very plausible explanation of
the present condition is that foreign
holders of American securities have
sent their certificates here for re-
demption, and that the output of
gold is simply in the process of pay
ing American debts in American
gold to the whilom purchasers of
American bonds. And it must not
be forgotten that for some time past
both Austria and Russia have been
boarding gold, paying premium to
get it. Russia's purpose in doing this
is not we'll understood, except that
it be preparation for war, but Aus
tria is preparing to resume specie
payments, and, consequently, needs
all the gold she can get.

caasc there seems to be probability
of an extension of the civil service

unnaturally natural. Mans inhu-
manity to man is no less marked and
no less cruel than it was when Burns

stories of misery caused by dismissals
consequent upon the incoming Of the
Harrison administration, and yet
they insist that Others shall suffer
similarly or worse, because Mr.. Cleve-
land comes into power next March.

The Republicans contend that only

enormous frauds have been commit

out of the dilemma. In every ham

Three Men Badly Hurt Who Tried to
Beat the Record ToboRganing.
From the Baltimore American.

Colorado Springs, Col, Aug. S.-Yes-
terday Richard Woods, a Manitou hack
driver, and two other men tried to beat
all previous records of speed in descend
ing Pixies Peak on u contrivance called a
toboggan by railroad men. This consists
of fat board nailed over a groove which
fits closely on the rack rail of the cog
road.
Light arms reach over to each side rail
to steady the machine and form a foot
rest A lever pinching down on the cen
ter serves as a brake,
The men left the summit at Just
o'clock, sitting tandem on the board. The
speed of the toboggan has always been
terrific, the distance of over miles in
Guiding the necessary three full stops at
switches, having several times been COW
cred in less than 16 minutes. They
started off all right, gaining speed with
every yard from the start. One stop, at
the upper tank, was successfully made
Then came the steep pitch above
Windy Point, and then the point itself.
Here they passed some parties who were
walking down, and whom it had taken
two hours to come from the summit al
though the toboggan had made the dis
lance in something less than five minutes.
Below Windy Point there is sharp
turn at the top of Son of Gun Hill, the
steepest point in the whole road. Here
the brake must have become useless,
for the toboggan with its human cargo,
shot down the incline beyond all control.
At the firstklight turn the frail board
jumped from the rails, leaping into the
air for fearful distance, and throwing
the three men away out over the noun
tain side. None of the men struck the
earth within thirty feet of the track, and
one of them, Wood, landed fully seventy
five feet away.
The surface here is entirely of rough,
broken rock, with jagged edges. The
men struck on this. being terribly cut
and bruised. Two of them were able TO
pick themselves up shortly, but Wood
was unable to stir.
Leaving their cOmrade alone on the face
of the mountain, they made their way
painfully to the first section house below
where they gave the alarm, and ar
rangements were made to send help to
the helpless sufferer left behind. Woods
leg was broken below the knee, and
hardly an inch of flesh remained I'M
bruised on any part of his body. To-day
he is at the Gloclkner sanitarium, where
hopes are entertained of his recovery.
The other two men were cut up terri
bly,. great gashes being cut in their heads,
arms and bodies. One of the men had an
ear entirely torn on Wood was brought
down on a special train sent up by the
cog road. King is at Manltou, ana tne
other man, whose name cannot be learned,
is still at the section house. All three
may die.
