DEATH In 4 NINE.
One Hundred Miners Lose Their
Lives

BUDA PEST, jan. 2S.-A partially sue.
ceSSful effort was made last night to
rescue the men who were entombed
yesterday morning by the explosion in
a coal mine at Tokod-Gran. Fifty
seven of the men were taken from the
mine by means of shaft that had not
been used before for long time. After
the fifty-seven men were rescued last
night the fire reached the shaft from
which their rescue was effected, thus
precluding all hope for the other men
in the mine. There are seventy-three
men still in the nine. They are be-
yond all doubt dead. as the whole lnte-
rior of the mine is roaring furnace,
and it would have been impossible for
them to have found shelter from the
flames. Two of the men who volun4-
teered to enter the mine in the efforts
to rescue the miners lost their lives.
Altogether about 100 men have perished
in the disaster

ROME, Jan. 2S.-Premier Giolitti'S
course in respect to the bank scandals
was approved by the chamber of depu-
ties this evening. The discussion Oh
the subject was begun by Signor BOWS,
of theLeft. and Signor Costa of theRight.
who moved that there be parliament
ary inquiry into the administration of
Of the Bank of Rome and the Bank of
Naples. Signor Giolitti declared that
he would not consent to such an
inquiry. He did not wish, he said.
to compromise the credit of the country.

nobler to challenge unpopularity than
to give way to weak sentiment. He de-
manded that the bank questions De

vision resulted in 294 Misunderstanding
in favor OF Sgr. Giolitti and 154 against

REMOVING a United States consul by cable is very seldom resorted to by the department of state, but it was done in one case last week by Secretery Gresham, and the man removed got just what he deserved. The reasons for Secretary Gresham's actions are, in short, as follows: In the early part of the presidential campaign William R. Sorsby of Mississippi was acting as Con- gressman Catching's private secretary, and taking advantage of his position he abstracted certain papers containing lm- portant facts relating to the democratic plans for the campaign from the private desk of MT Catching and gave them to Thomas H. Carter, chairman of the republican national committee. In
 November last Sorsby was appointed
 United States consul general at Guaya- quill, Ecquador, position which pays
 8, ,000 year, presumably as a reward
 for his treachery to Representative Catching and the democratic party. As soon as these facts were brought to the attention of President Cleveland and Secretary Gresham, Sorsby was dis missed by cable, and George E. billiard of Mississippi, nominated to the va Cancy,

A HUMAN HIVE.
The Terribly overOrOwded Condition of
 New York CAey.

The Terribly overorOwded Condition of
 New York city.
 A recent census report quoted by the North American Review shows that there are s1, ,000 houses in New York O. cupied by number of families SO great as to imply that there arc nearly four families (S.s2) for every house In the metropolis. When 1t is recalled that there are thousands of beautiful homes in New York occupied each by one fam fly only, that miles of avSnues and streets are lined with houses each indi- vidually owned and occupied by one family group, 1t will be realized to what extent in other parts of the city crowding occurs, when to Rcconauodate an average of nearly fopF families to each house the rernaiping houseR op1y are available. Comparing Sha condition of New York with Phtlade1phis the dit ference is most marked 1p Philadel. phia the average number of families to each house Is one family and one-tenth, as against three familiek and over three quarters ip New York for each house. In New York the average for saph house is nineteen people, whalS in phil- adelphia the average is not six people per house. The death rate tells the rest. In New York it Is twenty-eight in every thousand; ip Philadelphia twenty-two per thousand. While New York has nineteen people to each house. London has only seven, with death rate 8 per cent. lower than New York. The extent of the orowding in New York is made painfully apparent by the statement of the national census, which shows that out of population, of 1,soo,- 900, no less number than l, ,200, 900 live in apartments, flats and tenementS Still further is this confirmed by the
 sanitary census made by the police in | September last, in which 1t was found that there were herded in what the
 board of health designates as the stem ement district" no less than 276, ,00O families! This number, exceeding 8 quarter of million families, averaging five persons in each, is so great as to ex-
 cite surprise that such q condition can
 exist in the chief city of the new world, where conditions of civilization, as il- | frustrated by the character and number
 of homes. ought to have their most per ! feet tcxcmpliication. But the facts as | presented in official reports, in the | death rate, and in the personal observa- ! tion of men and women who take 8 | decb interest in the condition of human
 kind in the metropolis, show a condi- ton of density full of danger, in which ! the indications toward improvements are few and far between.

IAN AIDERMAN'S OPINION.
TCOPYI l

lCOP4l
 This is to certify that have used Saw
 yers Dandeiion Compound as a blood pu- ri6er and appetizing tonic with the very best result. I have never before given my testimonial for any patent medicine, from the fact that I had little faith in them. For a long tine I have been troubled with chronic constipation, re-
 sulting in loss of appetite and sick head ache, and most of the time felt miserable.
 After trying sarsaparillas, pills and many other remedies, with no good results, I was induced by friend to take Sawyer's Dandelion Compound. Before the first
 bottle was taken felt like new man,
 all trouble from constipation vanished,
 headache disappeared, and instead of hay ing an appetite like an invalid, ate like a ! 'longshoreman. I take great pride in
 recommending this remedy to my friends
 and the public in general as a splendid family medicine. I keep it on hand all
 the time. giving it to my children with
 good results, aud find it a wonderful spring tonic. In time of peace prepare for war, and the best ammunition you can
 have with which to battle against disease
 and keep the organs in normal condition is Sawyer's Dandelion Compound. ALDERMAN JOHN KEARNs.
