CHARLEsToN's BAR.
A Gain of Four Feet in Depth in Six
Months Owing to the Jetty Work.

Charleston, Dec. 13.-The German bark
Elise, from Hamburg, loaded with kainit,
arrived here this morning. She crossed
Charleston bar drawing twenty feet
and found twenty-five feet of water on
the bar. This fact is noteworthy because
the Charleston bar has heretofore pre-
vented the entrance of ships drawing
more than eighteen feet. The additional
depth of four feet has been gained in the
last six months. owing to the effects OF
the government ietties on the ship chan
mel. The August cyclone also aided
materially in securing out the channel.
1t is expected that Charleston will have
twenty-five feet of water on its bar
within the next four or five months.

More New York Failures.

The failure of Messrs. Henry Allen

New York, has been announced on
the stock exchange.
Messrs. B. L. Smythe & Co., bank

The failure of A. III. King & Co.
was the cause of some. surprise in COM

fact that under one name or another
the firm has done business for 40
years. Harry Cohen, the cashier, says
that the liabilities of the firm were
now definitely known to be $3.50, 600.
and he thought the assets would cover
the liabilities.
He attributed the failure to the
backward season. After the inven-
tory of the stock in all of A. H. King
& Co.'s stores has been takenthe cred
itors will meet to decide upon a basis
for settlement without litigation.
There are no preferred creditors, all

then wandered in some way that

then forty feet further toward the

UNCONSCIOUS 10 DAYS..
Singular Case of . Young Woman Who
Fell from q Horse Car.

Fell from q Horse Car.
One of the most remarkable cases
which has ever been known to New
Jersey Psychologists is that of Miss
Mary Mccain, a young woman who
fell from a South Orange, N. j., horse
car on April ID and has since lain in
a bed in the Orange Memorial hospi-
tai in a state of comatose without
once regaining consciousness.
During her 10 days of unconscious
ness the young woman has been un-
der the constant surveillance and
treatment of two physicians, and has
been examined by a number of spec
ialists, but nothing can be done to
bring her out of the comatose condi-
tion.
Miss Mccain was employed in a
household in Newark as a house maid.
On April 10 she started to visit the
orphan home in South Orange with a
bundle of presents. While on the
way up the road toward that village
all the passengers left the car except
her. The driver was behind time and
dashed his horses into a run. The
girl became frightened and the driver
and conductor laughed at her, and
urged the horses to go even faster.
Finally her fright overcame her rea-
son and she rushed to the rear plat
form and jumped off. In falling her
head struck the hard roadway and
she was picked up senseless. Since
that time she has not moved or spo-
ken.
The most detailed examinations
have failed to find any fracture or
conclusion, and the physicians believe
that a clOt of blOodhas formed on the
brain, causing partial paralysis of the
brain. The patient is now growing
weaker, and unless she revtves soon
the skull will be trepanned and an at
tempt made to remove the clot.
