A Convenient Travelling Coat.

For a travelling coat which COM
bines with beauty and utility mohair
is an ideal material It is impervious
to dust and is extremely good looking.
A mohair travelling coat seen recent
ly was dark blue in color. 1t was made
perfectly plain, and reached down to
the bottom of the gown, fastening
down the front with big bone buttons.
Dark blue silk was used for the lining.
Falling over the coat from the neck
to the waist line were three adjustable
capes Of mohair. They were charming
ly made and just full enough to have
the appearance Of frills. The capes
were lined with plaid silk, scarlet and

upper part of the window, and the val

covers, besides, a long, low wisldow
seat, which combines at once a lounge
and a receptacle for dresses The low

with the scarf already mentioned, com
pletes the arrangement of the window
This is a particularly happy one for a
bedroom window, inasmuch as it is
very pretty and graceful without be-
ing stuffy. A blue and white Delft

ing table, a few sketches in white
frames on the walls and two or three
comfortable chairs complete the furni-
ture Of this remarkably pretty ROOM
which owes it's beauty almost entirely
to the clever fingers of its occupant

A Novel Rubber Suit.

Sportsmen will be interested to know
that a rubber combination suit for
their express use has been placed on
the market. The suit consists of light
boots and pantaloons, which termin-
ate at the waist in float somewhat re-
sembling horse collar, with the point
ed epds at front and rear. This float
can be inflated and Debated at the will
OF the wearer. While designed espec-
lallv for persons hunting in Southern
sWamps and bayous, it can be used as
a safety float in any waters. Tin pad
dies can be attached to the fleet of the
hunter, who can thus guide himself in
deep water while handling his gun with
perfect freedom.

to the last Democratic national conven-
ton. He has the gift Of eloquence to
a marked degree.

A Bicycle for Onc-Legged Riders,
A safety bicycle. has been invented
for one-legged riders. It is propelled
either entirely by the hands or in con-
junction with pedal driving. The usual
handle bar is bent so far around as to
virtually make one handle This han
ole has an up and down motion, which
by means of cranks causes the reyolu-
tior Of a toothed wheel fixed about
half way between the handle bar and
the axle OF the front wheel The driv-
ing OF this wheel is effected by means
of chain running around the toothed
Wheel, and one fixed on the hub of the
front wheel Of the ordinary safety.
Treating Dtphtheria Electrically.
Prof. Henoch reports an important
result Of electrical treatment of a.,
grave case Of diphtheria. The galvano-
c:rtery was applied, in conjunction
with gargles of ice water The appH-
cation was painless, and the false NOM
brane rolled up and fell of as by magic.
Prof. zHenoch holds that in the whole
range of electrotherapy 10 more ef-
fective application Of electricity is
known. The membranes do not xeform
and the diphtheria process does not ex-
tend; the glandular swelling and the
fever rapidly subside. In from eight
to fourteen days the slough comes
away, and healthy ulcer OILY is left

MILLIONS INVOLVED.
Bad Management Causes tho Failure of

Bad Management Causes the Failure OF
u Mortgage Company.
New YoRK, Feb. 23.-Lawyers Henry
W. Sackett and Charles q. Bennett
representing the Land Title and Trust
Company of Philadelphia, filed motion
papers in the United States circuit court
few days ago for permission to secure
an examination of the books and securi-
ties OF the Equitable Mortgage Company
which went into the hands OF receivers
last August. The motion will be argued
today, and sensational developments are
looked for.
This proceeding is the result of an at
tempt made by the receivers Of the COM
pany, Charles N. Fowler and James II.
Clifford, to get the holders of $4,000, 600
Of the company's debenture bonds to as
sent to q proposed plan of resumption
whereby the holders Of the debenture
bonds were to surrender their coupon.
maturing between Septembe last and
February l and accept scrip payable in
ten years. 1t was proposed also to ex-
tend the maturity Of all debentures to
March /, 1894, and that the interest on
all bonds be cut down to five per cent
one per cent OF which would be payable
in ten-year scrip, and that the compan,
should not pay dividends to its stock
holders while the scrip was outstanding
The petitioners state that the capital
stock of the Equitable Mortgage Company
was increased from $500, 900 to $4,000, 00O
in few years. 1t is alleged that through
bad management the company lost mil
lions of dollars.

drop in prices here Is said by dealers in
this city to be due to the collapse OF q
bull movement being manipulated by
Indian banking houses and mercantile
firms on the strength Of probable duty
on importations to India. The failure Of
the India council to favor such action
and the fear that other changes will
likely be made in the financial system OF
India, has, it is thought, about brought
on liquidating movement on the part OF
holders OF silver which has brought about
heavy fall in prices.
THE MARKET OVERWHELMED.
New YORK, Feb. IS The heavy break
in silver bullion is by far the most strik-
ing financial incident OF the day. So
long as the recent weakness in the mar
ket was ascribed to liquidation sales by
Bombay spectators, there was reason to
believe that the lowest price had been
seen a week ago, but London market
authorities have plainly been on false
scent, and this week, almost for the first
time, it is acknowledged that a heavy
and sudden increase in production has
overwhelmed the market. Not the least
sigr ificant is the known fact that this
weeks break in silver has been largely
caused by cable offers from New York
at prices below the earlier London mar
ket. It rests now perhaps less on Indian
and Chinese demand than on the bottom
figure at which large American producers
are content to sell, for the future price OF

A TEXAS TRAGEDY.
A Desperate Duel In which Five Are
Killed and Three Wounded

A Desperate Duel In which Five Are
Killed and Three Wounded.
Houston, Texas, Feb. 20.-Last night
there was a horrible tragedy here, a se-
quel of the famous Fort Bend feud,
known as the Jay bird Woodbecker quar-
rel. r. Mitchell, quadruple murderer,
was central figure in that affair. Mil
ton Sparks and d. [. Sutton, constable,
of Eagle Lake, were in the city today as
witnesses in the Fort Bend feud murder
case, and Mrs. Sparks accompanied
her husband. This engendered bad
blood, and last night Mitchell, who was
waiting for his father and brother from
Richmond, espied Sutton. He opened
fire. which was promptly returned SUIT
ton falling after firing the second shot.
Mitchell kept up a murderous fusilade
until he had fred six shots. The result
was that, in addition to Sutton being
killed, Milton Sparks was shot to death,
and Dan Gleason, an omnibus driver,
also lies dead. Mrs. Sparks, wife Of the
murdered man, was badly wounded, as
was also the child she carried A brother
OF Sparks was MORALLY wounded, and
Mrs. Mcdowell, an aged lady, received
one OF the bullets and her chances or re.
covery are slim. Mitchell said to re-
porter after his arrest: 81 shot Sutton
for interfering in my family affairs, and
hope to h killed him. We had pre-.
vious difficulty, and he sent me word
that he would kill me. l am an attached
witness, and l believe was simply at
tached to get me here TO kill me, as was
notified that Sutton and crowd of six or
eight had formed a plot to kill me.
