A Queer Temperance Society.

A very curious temperance society
exists in the Siberian village OF Ash
lyka. Every year, in September, the
membe. meet in the church and make
a solemn promise to 40 tain from wine
and spirits for q whole year. They
also sign an agreement that any per-
son breaking the pledge shall pay =
fine of Is rubles to the church, and
submit to be spat upon by his more
continent fellows. The most peculiar
feature of the whole business, how
ever, is that the members on the one
day of the year when the pledge ex-
pires allow themselves wine and
brandy during the few hours which in
tervene before the pledge for the en-
suing year is made.

Pennsylvania Company VIII Max,
Extensive EnIargcmcnts.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will commence early next week the re-
building of their stoCk-yards at the foot
OF Sixth street and the North River
Jersey City. which was destroyed by fire
just two weeks ago to-day. The new
yards will be much more extensive than
the old ones, SO as to also accommodate
the Union Stock-Yard and Market Com
pany now located at the foot OF West
Sixty-frst street, New York. which Com
pany has made arrangements with the
Pennsylvania Railroad to transfer their
business to the Jersey city shore.
The pans for the new yards provide
for slaughter and ice-houses of u Inuch
larger capacity than the old ones The
old rendering works at the yards Will
not be rebuilt, and that branch OF the
business Will he removed to n distant
point, whore the attendant odors will not
annoy residents of Jersey city and ferry
boat passengers as they did formerly.

No less than $500 carcasses were re-

AUTOMATIC HOUSEKEEPING.
An Alarm Clock and n Few Bat
teries Are the COmbinntiop.


An electric horce-teeder is a new inven
ton brought out by Mr.. Anderson. of
Chesterfield, for securing tine regular
feeding of horses during the absence
from any cause of the stable man or
groom.
The apparatus Is described as being
very simple, the law of gravitation being
depended upon to accomplish most Of the
work.
The first requisite is an alarm clock,
which should be good enough not to stop
casually, but need not be expensive. The
electric plant Is that needed for an or
binary electric bell. four cells of the Le-
cianche type of battery being sufficient
for any distance up to two hundred
yards.
The third portion of the apparatus is
the feeder-that is to say, the vessels
the case may be. The clock, which is
the prime mover of the whole concern.
may be in the house, the harness room
or anywhere. but II II be moro than two
hundred yards away from the feeder a
more powerful battery will be required.
TO use the feeder the first thing Is to
set the alarm clock at the hour at which
II is desired that the horse should be fed.
The food Is then placed in a Unlike bis
cult box. which Is turned upside down
and placed in the proper compartment OF
the chute. when the lid of the box Is
drawn cut, the corn then resting upon
the floor of a trap-likc arrangement, held
in its place by simple contrivance.
When the alarm goes off a button is
pressed and the circuit is completed. A
weight fails, the bottom OF the feed box
is released and the corn fails out into the
manEcr.

.LOOk|hG For SHEPARD'S BODY
1t Is Thought He Was One Of the
Victims Of Last Nights Fire.
Mr.. Woodruff To-day Estimates the
Loss at 100000.

Firemen were busw this morning
digging in the ruins OF the Franklin
Woodruff g. Sons stores. at he foot Of
State street. Brooklyn, searching for
the body OF Robert Shepard. sixty-two
years old. Of "a Sixth avenue. who is be-
lieved to have been buried by a fall
Ing wall, which killed two men out
right and injured two others last night.
The firemen were also searching for a

OF S. Solan. one Of the injured.
He is not expected TO live through the
day. He sustained internal injuries and
fractured skull. Solan lives at 2s
Cheevere place. He has wife and six
children.
The bodies Of John C. Barrow, thirty
Ave years old. of IS Jarolemon street,
and James Prentiss, twenty-six years
old. OF Gifford's Station. Staten Island,
were lying at Farrelrs undertaking es-
tabiishment, at Third avenue and Ber-
gen street. this morning.
Parrow will be buried in the Holy
Cross Cemetery, In Flatbus, tomorrow.
Premises body had not been claimed up
to a late hour.
The only other person injured was An.
drew Miller. for;y.five years old. Of ss
Douglas place, who sustained slight
scalp wounds.
Solan. Miller and those who lost their
lives we're all employed by the Union
Ferry Company in the repair yads which
adjoined the burning buildings.
The damage was estimated by Mr..
Woodruff this morning at 100000.
Three walls Of the gutte1 building
were standing this morning. Streams
from two engines were still playing on
the smoulderine hemp and jute. The
fireboats David "A. Body and Seth Low

entirely out.

York's ball team is at last doing what
its friends expected. Chicago having
already dropped two games to the Giants
with Anson's best twirlcrs In the box.
the wires this afternoon will probably
resound with the news of three straight
for Capt Ward. The local club has
crept silently up to fifth position in the
League RAGE, and 1t was because Balti-
more and Louisville waloped Cleveland
and Philadelphia respectively that the
Giants bounded out of the second pha-
lanx. The Giants battcd the game to
victory, and 1t was mighty lucky they
hadn't much further to run the nine
innings, for Ward and Fuller played
dizzy" ball In that last inning and Chi
cago scored three runs. Doyle made, a
bat. for every time he faced Hutchinson
he reeled off n hit which was good for
run. and frequently two runs. The
score was: New York u, Chicago s. with
16 base hits off Chicago's pitcher.
Ward resumed work yesterday. having
recovered from his illness in St. Louis
shelf to lie low until he gets his Charley
hose well for fair.
Brooklyn, too, is shaking hands with
itself. and rightfuily at that. Capt.
Foutz won 4 hard game from the Pitts
burgs yesterday, and helped to widen the
distance which separates the Bridegooms
from third and fourth place. They wind
up the present series with Pitisburg
