sists Of the father, mother, son and daugh-
ter, and they live at No. s33 Courtland ave-
nue.. The fathers name is Anthony Schley
and he is employed in Ebling's brewery
The disease was caused according to DR..
Goodall, by an over indulgence in bologna
sausage
About six weeks ago Schley's son was
taken ill., His face became swollen and SO
did his lower limbs. It was thought at the
time that the youth was suffering from
blood poisoning. Dr. William Gooslale was
called in, and for two weeks prescribed for
the child for blood poisoning. Then Mr..
Schley and other mem bers of the family de-
veloped similar symptoms. Several other
physicians were called in, and after con-
sultation they decided that trichih@ were
the cause of the illness.
Today DR.. Goodale thought It advisable to
notify the Health Board, through che police,
and the latter summoned an ambulance
from the Fordham Hospital. Mr.. Schley,
Lena and Irving were taken to tho hospital,
but Mrs. Schley proceeded thither in a
trolley car. 1t is altogether probable that
the entire family will die.

LONDON, July 27, lS94.--A telegram of to-
days date was received at the Foreign Office
this morning from the British Consul at
Pekin, but there was nothing it toindicate
that war had been declared or that there
had been any fighting between Chinese and
japanese troops The Foreign Office at once
wired the Consul instructing him to obtain
an official denial or confirmation of the re-
ported declaration of war and collision be-
tween the forces of the two nations.
The Chinese Minister here had an inter
view with the Earl of Kimberley at the
Foreign Office this morning and informed
him that he had no official knowledge that
hostilities had begun. The Minister asked
Lord Kimberley to continue the good offices
of Great Britain in the interest of peace.
a despatch received from Tien Tsin by
the Chinese Legation this morning says the
King of Corea was captured by the Jap
anese on July %. The Chinese Minister re-
CARDS this as explanatory of the collision
which occurred at Seoul between the palace
guards and the Japanese troops.
The Pail Nall Gazette publishes an inter
view with Government official who spent
MANY years in Japan This gentleman ex-
presses the opinion that the war between
China and Japan will be eventually a naval
war. and predicts that the side holding the
chief ports of Corea Gensan, Port Iazaref
Fuzan and Chemulpo will control the
country II Japan succeeds in sweeping the
Chinese out of those waters, she will win the
key to the whole situation. 1t will be
iinpossibility for China to send troops over
land, and once the Japanese obtain posses
sion of Corea they will be able to hold it un-
less Russia interferes.

GHINA's BIG LOSS.
BIZ Cable to the United Press.

SHANGHAI, July 28, fs94.-It is stated that
there were ], 100 Chinese soldiers on board
the steamer Kow Shung, which was sunk by
the japanese batteries Some of these are
reported to have been saved. but it is said
that a large majority of them were drowned.
The japanese claim to have captured a
Chinese gunhoat Other Chinese transports
have reached the Yaloo River, and landed
their troops without mishap. These troops
have Joined the Corean forces.
The activity of the Japanese operations is
supposed to have been inclted by the desire
of the Government to achieve some successes
before the general elections. which take place
in August After the elections it is assumed
that Japan will readily arrange terms Of
peace
1t is now positively known that the
steamer Toonan, owned by the Chinese
Trading Company, which was being used to
transport Chinese troops to Corea, was sunk
by japanese warship as well as the Kow
Shung, and all on board were drowned.
The Chinese Government having made
inquiries in London as to the price the mar
ket would give for a Chinese loan of several
million pounds, the Hong Kong and Shan
ghai bank made an offer to the government
at Pekin to take the whole loan, but the
government replied that they were not in
need Of money.
All the Chinese Trading Company's steam
ers uere and all merchant steamers coming
in were ordered this morning to remain in
this port until further orders from Tien

HORRIBLE RAILROAD 0UTRAGEs
Some of Debs, Villains Spreading
Ruin aud Death.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. July 2s, 1894 AT mid
night last night band of twenty or thirty
masked men attacked a Milwaukee Short
Line freight train on the West Side, and
with clubs and stones drove the crew into
the woods, after badly injuring the fireman,
Ed. Perrin and engineer, Jim Kahn. The
police authorities were Immediately noti-
fed, and, taking switch engine posse
hastened to the scene only to find the vii
lains had disappeared They picked up the
fireman and brought him to the City Hospi-
tai. The attack was evidently the work of
strikers, who have been unable to get back
their old positions.
The assault had been carefully planned A
red light on switch near the oil mill,
stopped the train. Bullets few thick and
fast through the cab window and sung
around the firenlen, who was giving his sig
nal of distress with the locomotive whistle.
! The fireman used a monkey wrench to de-
fepd himself. When the engineer saw the
men climbing into the cob. he sprang
through the forward window and then
sprang into the bushes
Conductor Jack O'Brien was badly beaten
on the head. Engineer Fain was also badly
hurt in the head with a coupling pin, but
managed to escape to the woods. One brake
man saw the danger and jumped into the
river. About this time switohrod was dis
connected on the Omaha road beneath the
high bridge, and partially derailed freight
winch was running slowly.

IN THE FRUIT CLOSET.

On the shelves of this closet there is ordin-
arily brave array of canned fruits and
vegetables, and varieties of pickles are ad-
mitted by way of giving snap to the whole.
Canned goods sell SO cheaply nowadays that
it is almost an irresistible temptation to buy
them and avoid the work and expense of
house preparation. But there are many who
continue to do their own canning, and to them
we would say choose glass cans. They are a
little more expense at the start, but their
utility is longer lasting and they are purer,
cleaner than tin. Glass canned dainties ar
ranged systematically ON shelves in cool,
dark closet will amply repay you in every
way.-F hitodetphia Times

if possible. Teams employed at the coke
plants dare not venture away from the
plants unless accompanied by force Of
deputies with rifles.
