Johann Hoff Sin statu ouo.s-
Allegory often comes to our aid to
express our meaning. Look to
the left, my little dears," as the
Snowman said, land you viii see a
grasshopper." The grasshopper is
sometimes called a corn crake. To
crake is to boast. The nautilus is
the national carriage of the seas,
and Cupid is symbolic of affection.
Johann Hoff Is no braggart. But
he may, perhaps, be allowed to be
proud of the fact that there have
been carried over every known
ocean in geography millions of
bottles of Johann Hoffs Malt Ex-
tract, which has proved an inesti-
mable boon to whole colonies of
sufferers, who speak with affection
of the benefits conferred upon,
mankind by this great German
beverage. Any one, for instance.
who knows what the torture of
dyspepsia is, will estimate at its
proper value a pleasant cordial
which will give five minutes ease.
Johann Hoffs Malt Extract does
more than this. 1t will put the
malady entirely to fight, and lay
the foundation of a new digestive
system. To have no appetite, and
when you have, to be afraid to
eat, to know that as surely as you
put anything in your mouth acute
agony will result, to be followed
by nights upon nights Of restless
ness; to be able to relieve, and
to cure this amongst other ills
arising from malnutrition is the
lawful boast of Johann Hoffs
Malt Extract. Beware of imita-
tions. The genuine must have
the signature of Johann Hoff'

Great Worlds Fair Roofs breaking
der the snow.
CH1cAGo. Ill. Jan. 2S.-Great banks OF
snow that rested on the root OF the
Manufacturers Building at the Worlds
Fair caved a hole about Is by oOO feet
in the east annex or nave to-day,
and caused about 100000 dam
age. The weight of the snow be-
fore the rain of last night and TO-
dav was about all the roof could
bear and when it was soaked with rain
and became still heavier, the crash was
bound to come. Just before the wreck
several officers of the construction de-
partment had consultation and de-
cided that if there was cave-ln any
where it would occur just where IL d1d.
The roof there was known 10 De weak
and the weight of snow was greater
than at other places on the building.
1t was only the glass work IN the ROOF
and the lighter iron work that gave
wav. The great trusses that span the
central arch of the building, and those
that support the naves are still intact
and not at all injured. The officers ana
contractors say that they would stand
the weight of all the snow the clouds
could drop on them. The great weight
of snow, ice and water that poured
into the valleys between the GYM,
drical portions of the roof. proved
too great for the iron trusses, and with
a noise that echoed through the struc-
ture like artillery, 14x5O0 feet collapsed,
allowing an avalanche of snow and ice
to slide into the building. No one was
injured and gangs of men were put to
work quickly to to clear out the other
s'valleys" SO that no more of the roof
would fall. There is not the slightest
possibility of any portion of the main
roof-the great trussed, cylindrical al
tair-being effected by the great weight.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 3O.-On an
equity bill suit by number of credit
ors, Judge Biddle, of the common pleas
court, to-day appointed receivers to
take charge of the business of the
Pottstown Iron Company, of Pottstown,
Pa. The equity bill estimates the COM
pany's liabilities at &, 025, 0O0-exclusive
of 1884, 900 capital-and claims that the
concern is insolvent and it's di-
rectors are unable to continue work
for want of funds, and that the creditors
will suffer heavily unless receivers are
appointed to take charge of the assets.
On the other hand, it is alleged that the
business is go extensive and valuable
that if it is maintained it will probably
be able to pay large amount OF it's in
debtedness, if not all. The court was,
therefore, asked to appoint receiver,
and to order the company to deliver all
assets into such officers hands. The
receivers are Jacob Fegely and William
M. Gordon, of PottstoWn, and security
is fixed at 100000.
The compiainants in the bill in equity
are creditors for the following amounts:
The South Bethlehem National Bank,
$4,000; the National Iron Bank, of
Pottstown $4,000; the Security Com
pany, of Pottstown, $50, 900; Israel Nor
ris. holder of 100000 worth Of bonds
secured by mortgage, with an
Indebtedness unsecured Of SAC, 900, and
a holding of 100000 in capital stock;
William H. Morris, creditor for $780,
GOO and holder of $4,000 in capital
stock and 100000 in bonds, and Theo-
dore Morris, who owns 100000 IN cap
ital stock and $40, 600 in bonds.
The company employs 1000 men and
has plant estimated to be worth So
100000, and product on hand and in
progress worth not far from 100000
with bills receivable to the amount of
$3.50, 900. A director of the company
said this evening that the company's
embarrassment was brought about by
the continued investment to keep up
with modern improvements and three
or four close years. He thought that
the company would be able to continue.

FIREWORKS EXPLODE.
One Man Killed and Twenty H. ured in
Ohio.

UIllOs
CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 30.-An explosion
took place this morning in one of the
dry houses of the large fireworks
establishment of Diehl q Co.,
located at Reading, Hamilton
County, by which almost the entire
place was wrecked. One man was
killed outright and twelve were injured.
The fire spread among the buildings,
and the loss will be heavy.
Henry Horn was the only one
killed outright, but out Of the
fifty employees in the building
all are more or less injured. A number
are not accounted for. This may mean
more deaths, or it may be that in the
confusion they may have not been seen.
The establishment belongs to the
Consolidated Fireworks Company of
North America, of which Mr.. johnson,
of New York, is president. IL.
c. Diehl, of this city, is fore
man. The buildings were fifty
two in number, and were erected
with view to limiting damage
in case of explosion, but they are most
ly Of wood, and the fire following the
explosion caused heavy loss. Fifteen
of the buildings were more or less
wrecked by the explosion. The
powder magazine is a source
of great anxiety, but it had
not been reached by the fire at the last
reports from the place. Reading is
twelve miles north of Cincinnati. An
estimate of the loss places it at Sl50,0OO.

PARDON FOR DIX-BLANC.
The Woman Who Killed Nine. ReI Re-

LONDON, Jan. 30.-A sensation has
been caused by the release, by order
of the home office, of Marguerite
Dix-Blanc, the Park Lane MUIR
deress, who was convicted in 1872 of
the atrociaus murder of her mis-
tress, Nine. Riel. The crime was dis
covered on the 9Th of April 1872. Nine.
Riel's daughter, who was a member
of the French theatrical company then
performing at the St. James Thea
ter, arrived from Paris early on
that morning, and on present.
ing herself at 13 Park Lane
was informed that her mother was alb
sent. It was soon discovered that GER
talk doors were locked and the keys
were missing, and that the cook could
not be found. This led to ali exaraina-
ton of the house, when the dead body
of Nine. Riel was found in the f,antry.
Her death appeared to have been
caused by strangulation. A frightened
rope was still around her neck. The
cook, Dix-Blanc, was traced to Paris,
was arrested and brought back to En-
gland. She confessed, but claimed she
acted in self-defense. She was convict
ed and sentenced to die, but the SEN
