Mr.. Salliway is Ill.

Mr.. Fl. B. Salliway, superinten-,
dent of construction of the new
County courthouse, is seriously i'll
at his residence in the eastern part
of the city and his friends are
much concerned about him. His
disease appears to be severe con-
jestion of the brain and has de-
veloped into a mania that is said
to often effect the crowned heads of
Europe, viz, that some one is Turk
ing always near him to assassi-
nate him.

Among the wounded is George

on South Presa street. He was
not expected to live this morn.
ing, but a telegram received
this afternoon gives hope for
recovery. He is at present
in the hospital at Marshall, Texas.
His parents live in San Antonio
and he has wife and three little
children here, the oldest of which
is about ten years. His father will
leave for Marshall tonight.
Bee, Volz, Holland and Marshall
are not married, but the former
two have relatives here and were
popular young men.
The remains OF Bee and EOltZ
will be shipped TO San Antonio and
will arrive here on No. Of the In
ternational and Great Northern to-
morrow morning. Bees body will
be prepared for burial and taken to
st. Marks cathedral, from whence
it will be shipped to Seguin to be
inferred in the family burying
grounds tomorrow afternoon.
1t is reported that the sad news
OF the death of Ed. Bee has not yet
been related to the father, General
Bee, who is seriously i'll, as it is
feared he would not be able to over
come the shock.
Michael Volz has father and
mother living here, and the funeral
will take place tomorrow afternoon
from his late home.
Hollands remains were shipped
to Mount Vernon, where his father
and mother are living, and the re-
mains of Marshall have been ship
ped to Dallas, where he has rela-
tives.
Holland had lately taken the run
of w. r. Lippold, who has heen APP
pointed chief clerk in the railway
mail service, with headquarters
here, and it was on that run that
he met his death.
For the present the vacancies
caused by the sad and sudden
death of the clerks will not be
filled, and their duties will be at
tended to by the balance of the
clerks.
The collision is supposed to have
been caused by the time of the
watches of the engineers on the
north and south bound Cannon
Ball trains varying.
BEAN MAY RECOVER.
The following telegram was re-
ceived at noon today by Chief
Clerk w. f. Lippold, Of the rail-
way mail service from SuperiDten-
dent o. l.. Teachout, dated Mar
shall:
~ have just seen Bean. He has
his senses and the doctor thinks he
will recover. / told him that his
family had been informed and he
was pleased and said he would get
along. Bee and Volz will be sent
on No. 5. The father of Holland
has not been heard from vet"

THE CIRCULAR NUISANCE.

From the New York Sun.
The only circulars offering articles for
sale which justify the expenditure on
them, and which can be sent out with
no danger Of provoking resentment
against them as q nuisance. are the few
which contain special information, spe-
cially desired by the people who receive
them. Articles of which there is no gem
eral supply may safely be advertised in
this way, to particular profession or to
collectors; but to trouble a man with
circulars soliciting the purchase of mer-
chandise on general sale in the trade, Is
to force on his attention matters which
concern the sender's interest only, and
consequently TO be guilty of bad man
ners II Is poor business policy The
proper place for such advertisements is in
n newspaper, one of whose most import
ant functions is that of business direc-
tory. 1t enables the merchant to keep
before the public his name, his place of
business, and his wares, without causing
them annoyance. As part of the
news of the day, he announces to the
people generally the articles he has to
sell, the prices and where they are on
sale. He does not ring the door bells of
peoples houses to thrust in unsought
and undesired circulars soliciting buyers
for his goods, but puts his advertisement
in the customary business directory,
which is a newspaper. There they are in
their appropriate place, and are respected
accordingly. This is great opportunity
enjoyed by trade because of the develop
ment Of the modern newspaper. 1t brings
the merchant and his business before the
whole public and gives to both the con-
scquent distinction. The circumstance
that the trade of houses which advertise
the most largely and persistently in the
newspapers is always greatest, prove that
the public is interested In such announce
ments when they are put in the vehicle
to which society now naturally looks for
information.

The Climax of Littleness.

There was case in court this week
the trivial differences with which our
court dockets are clogged as notably
petty in its actuating spirit. We al

the assistant secretary Of the Scranton
Young Mems Christian association for
perjury, upon information supplied by
case, briefly stated, are that while the

leging that the transaction involved
sale. Instead of accepting payment
| for the soda water in question, the
druggist virtually averred that he paid
for it himself through profit and loss,
and upon this trivial bubble he seeks
