BELLAIRE,

Yesterday several saloon keepers
we're notified to appear before the
Mayor 10 answer 20 the charge Of SELL
ing liquor on Sunday, September ,.
The charge was made by G. z. Moore,
but 20 one seems TO kuOw who c. Z.
Moore is, and 10 is the general opinion
here that 10 is Detective Mallory who
made the charges. Later developments
are awaited with interest.
Patrick Lohan and August Ernest
had a QUOT pitching contest and Patrick
suffered another defeat, making only
one point while his opponent scored
twenty-one. Ms Ernest has had some
experience at pitching horseshoes, but
this was his frs; game Of QuOtS.
Miss Mary Sanders left yesterday for
Pittsburg. aud from there she Will 90
to Philadelphia 10 attend the Drexel

AQUATIC eAEDENS
Their Cultivation Is Now = PronOund pa

Fad.
Mapv people have in some parttoi
their gardens or grounds a pond'or
other expanse OF water which would
gain in sightllness by the presence Ia II
Of A few plants Of graceful shape ana
with uresty flowers. When any plants
sre placed In such situations, either mo-
notonv or overcrowdiBg generally spols
the effect. Only one kind Of plant IS
commonly grown, and often that is al
lowed 10 Increase and spread until the
water is hidden by a mass or entangle-
ment. Generally there Is SUFFICIENT
bottom of soil 70 the pond; but, should
this not be the case, IL Is only necessary
TO throw in a cartload OF coil where
wanted, and the plants will have all the
DourishmeRt they require.
In naming some OF the best plants 10
grow We shall only give those which
are OF thoroughly hardy nature. The
water plantaln Is q stately plant, and
very hardy. It is about 30inches high,
and produces large panicles Of rosy
white flowers from July 10 September.
The alisma seeds freely, so that a num-
Der of plants is soon obtained. Another
valuable plant ia the Towering rush,
whose massive umbels OF roSe-colored
flowers appear somewhat earlier than
the inrorescence OF the plantGin. The
two plants are Of about the same height.
The Towering rush is usually multi
piled by division. The various kinds
of water lily must not DO neg
lected. OF them all, the ordi-
nary white water lily, with It's large
flowers lying on the surface OF the
water, is, perhaps, the most handsome
but the effect OF this plant is usually
spoiled By its being allowed TO form
dense covering 10 the surface or the
whole pond. For fragrance, however,
no water piaut surpasses the water haw-
thorn, or floating apOnogeton, whose
forked spikes OF whitish flowers nOat
with the leaves on the surface OF the
water. The iris-like acOriS ceiamuS
Sweet acOrns) is worth growing more
for its leaves than for its Insignificant
yellow flowers. This plant Is excep-
tionally hardy. Other useful water
plants are the water violet, with beau
tiful whorls OF lilac or pale blue How
ers, the marsh iris, or common flag, the
water soldier, the various kinds OF
typhy or cats tail, and plenty Of 9th
eTS.
Most hardy aquatic plants can be
grown by sowing seeds in the bottom
soil at points where plants are required,
but il Is often more convenient 10 buy
plants or cuttings and insert them di-
rect in the soil. II there is any diff
Guilty in getting the plants TO take root
directly in the ponds soil, very good
way is to plant in an old basket OF soil
placed 10 a tub OF water, and to sink
the basket and its contents in the pond
during the spring. BY the time the
basket rots the roots Of the plants will
have penetrated the bottom, soil ana so
be permanently established.

A JAPANESE REPORT.
They Capture Chinese Warship and Sink
 Chine Be Transport.


 Chinese Transport.
 YOKOHAMA, July 3O.-The Japanese government has issued the following official statement of the recent engage ment between the fleets of Japan and China:
 In consequence of severe provoca- tion, three ships of the Japanese squadron were compelled to engage the Chinese fleet off Fontae or Round island. They captured the Chinese war ship Tsao Kian and sank Chinese transport with soldiers on board. Un- fortunately, one of the largest Chinese ironclads of the northern fleet, the Chen Yuen, escaped to China and the Chinese torpedo cruiser, Huan Tae, es- capped to Fusan, in Corea.
 The three Japanese war ships en- gagged were the Allitsushina. the Taka- chino, and the Hin Yei. They were without injury.

WAR DECLARED.
Hostiiities Have Commenced Between
 China and Japan.

HOstilittes Have Commenced Between
 China and Japan.
 LONDON, July 2S.--A dispatch re- ceived here at l1:2O a. m. to-day from Lloyds agent at Shanghai, China, con firms the announcement exclusively cabled to the Associated press on Sat urday last that war between China and Japan has been declared and fight ing is said to have already begun. Matthieson & Co.,, Lloyds' agents in England, have received a cable mes sage which confirms the announcement that war has been declared between Japan and China.
 The cause of the declaration of war is said to be the fact, as previously announced by the Associated press, that the Japanese attacked the Chinese transports conveying troops to Corea. In this engagement at least one Chinese transport was sunk by a Japanese cruiser.
 But it would now seem that the fighting between the Chinese and Jap anese warships was much more serious than at first announced, for it is ru- mored in anti-Chinese circles that the Chinese have already suffered very heavy losses, and it is believed that q number of Chinese ships have been sunk by the Japanese cruisers.

STATE OF TRADE,
Wheat Still Travelling Downward-Reviva of Railroad Traffic.


 NEW YORK, July 2S.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
 The heavy outgo of gold, the fall of the treas- ury reserve and of the price of wheat to the lowest point on record and the increasing un- certainty about the tarif have entirely over ShadOwed other industries. Business delay ed for months by two great strikes now crowds the railroads and swellS returns. and gives the m- presson of revival in business. But it is not yet clear how far there is an increase in new traffic, distinguished from that which has been merely biockaded or deferred. In some branches there has been more activity, but in others less, be- cause events early this week led many to infer that no change of tarff would be made. The internal revenue receipts on whisky suddenly dropped more than half, and sales of wool greatly increased. But the uncertainty is not removed, and much of the business done seems to be in the nature of insurance against possi- bilitieS
 Wheat has found its way in the lowest depths, and has sold below B cents, making the monthly average at New York the lowest ever known Western receipts have been 5,455.S74, against 3,l29,295 bushels last year, in part be- cause of delayed shipments, but the movement from the farms has been heavy, while Atlantic exports have been only 15ll,604 bushels, against 2057 .050 last year. Corn was stronger, with accounts of injury to part of the crop, and the exports are trifiing.
 While scarcity of coke delays resumption of work in many central and western iron mills, the light inquiry for finished products at Chi cago and the disappointing demand for most of Pittsburgh raises doubt whether material in- crease can be expected until the tarin question is out of the way. The demand for sheets is better at Chicago, and there are numerous small orders for structural work at Pittsburgh with rather better demand for bars, but noth- ing like the expected rush.
 For the week failures have been 2i9 in the United States, against 36s last year, and 30 in Canada nyoinSt 23 last year.

A GIGANTIC STEAL.
Holders of New York Municipal Bonds Re.
 ceive Shock.

Holders of New York Municipal Bonds Re.
 ceive Shock.
 NEW YORK, July 30.--Holders of New York's municipal bonds received n shock yesterday morning when they read in the newspapers the story of Maj. Matthew J. O'Rourke to the effect that the city had been paying interest on Sl5, 100000 fraudulent bonds for a quarter of a century, and that the bonds were held by people in this city ignorant of their worthless character. ORourke's charges lost some of their terror later in the day, when it de. veloped that he had been trying to dis pose of the information to the news papers for ten or fifteen years. But, for all that, the committee of tax payers who propose to investigate the comptroller's office believe implicit ly that they have unearthed gigantic fraud. Mir. Stokes, the chairman of the committee, believes that O'Rourke has the evidence of a monstrous steal. He asserts that on the face of the evi- dence in O'Rourke's possession at least S15, 100000 has been stolen from the city by issuing duplicates of the aque. duet per cent. bonds.
 Comptroller Fitch and ex- Comptroller Meyers, his immediate predecessor, ridicule the charges.
 Henry c. Robinson, the Worth street merchant who is on the taxpayers committee, looks at the matter in a very different light. He honestly be- lieves that O'Rourl<e has enough documentary evidence to prove that crookedness has existed in the comp. troller's office since Tweed's time. Judge Arno," said MT. Robinson yes terday, went over O'Rourke's evi. dence with the carefulness of a trained lawyer, and has satisfied himself and us that there is material upon which we can work to expose a gigantic fraud and possibly bring someone to | deserve punishment.

FOREST FIRES.
Destruction and DestItution Caused by
 Them in Wisconsin.


 ASHLAND, Wis, July 2s.-Forest fires are producing great suffering and loss throughout this vicinity, and railroad companies have never before eX- perienced such damage from fires. On the Wisconsin Central railroad it is inn possible to move trains. Phillips, the headquarters of the John R. Davis Lumber Co.,, a manufacturing town of 2,5OO, is destroyed by fire and only a few buildings remain standing. A dis patch just received from Fifeld, a small station few miles this side of Phillips, says that 5G0 women and chill dren from Phillias are in the woods there without shelter. They sent a re- quest for food and supplies as the SUD- ply at Fifield is very short. The train that started from here last evening was obliged to return as the bridges are totally destroyed few miles south.
 Along the Omaha line fires are rag ing with terrible fierceness Shores Crossing, little village miles west of Ashland, was destroyed yesterday afternoon, not building remaining standing, and the homeless families were brought to Ashland. The rail- road bridges near there were destroyed, and in the afternoon a fast Omaha freight and sixteen loaded cars were entirely burned. Both the engineer and fireman were injured, and the brakemen are missing. Loss to cars and freight many thousand dollars. Mason, small town south of the Omaha line caught fire in the after noon. The White River Lumber Co. s mill, with 10000, 900 feet of lumber in the yards, was destroyed, and at 6 o'clock, the latest report received here, says the entire town was threatened.
 The Omaha bridge across the White river at Mason is burned. Railroad of- ticials say the loss at Mason is fully S1 1000, 900, with $25O,OOO insurance.

Bangells, the bachelor, was sus- pected of being in love with a charm ing divorcee, and it was known that he had hay fever; so that when he left town for the mountain resort, where the lady was also spending the season, there was general comment upon the bearing of Bangells.
