THE BONDS FOR STEWART

WASHINGTON. p. G., Nov 2G, 1894.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has ae-
cepted the proposal of Mr. John A.
Stewart, President of the United states
Trust Co, and his associates to purchase
the entire issue of per cent. bonds,
amounting to $4,000, coo at 117.077 ana ac-
erued interest from Nov. l.
The proceeds of the bonds under this
bid win be $49,5lz62 greater than they
would be if the other highest bids were
accepted. A very important advantage
to the Government in accepting this bid
is the fact that all the gold will be fur
nished outside, and none drawn from the
Treasury. 1t is also more convenient
and less expensive to the department to
deal with one party rather than with
many.

POLARIA SHORT OF COAL,

ST. JOHNS, N. r., Nov. 26, 1S94-The
Hamburger american Packet Cos steam
er Polaria, Captain Woerpel, IS days
from Hamburg, bound for New York, is
here short of coal. She has general
cargo and liz steerage passengers. The
Polaria met with rough weather almost
from the beginning of her voyage, gales
commencing in the North sea and con-
tinuing right across the Atlantic. Noun
famous seas swept her decks, bursting
ventilators and hatchways and flooding
her forepart. Oil was used plentifully

CLEANED OUP VASHEE
Gas Explosion in a Chinese
Laundry Startles the
Congregation.

| An explosion occurred at the Chinese
laundry of Sam Lung, at No. 312 Com
munipaw avenue, last night which COM
pletely wrecked the laundry and did con-
siderable damage to the adjoining build
| ings.
At S:45 o'clock the residents of Lafay-
ette were startled by noise that sound
ed like the roar of artillery. The houses
in the vicinity of the explosion shook as
if an earthquake had struck the town.
The large congregation which had gather
ed at the Lafayette NJ E. Church heard
the noise and felt the shock and many
of them hurried out to see what was the
matter, and large crowd quickly gather
ed about the demolished building where
several men, headed by Michael Keating,
who lives next door, rushed in and quick
ly extingushed the flames arising from
a burning bed and from unclaimed linen.
Patrolman Doyle pulled box 81 and the
fire department quickly responded. The
fire was out, however, before they ar
rived and their services were not re-
quired. Captain McKaig sent a squad
of police to the scene and they had their
hands full in handling the crowd.
DAMAGE BY THE EXPLOSION.
An examination was made to see what
damage had been done. 1t was found
that the entire front and rear of the
laundry had been blown out and the in
side partition had been completely shat
tered. A piece of the front window frame
had been hurled clear across the street
and broke a window in the home of Mr..
George Thomas. The street was strewn
with pieces of glass, none of them over
an inch square.
The shock of the explosion not only
made a complete wreck of the China
mans place, but it was felt in the build
ings to either side. The front window
and door of Michael Keating's saloon.
at No. s12, were blown out and several
windows were smashed in the saloon of
John C. Smith. which is situated on the
other side of the laundry.
Sam Lung. the proprietor of the laun-
dry, was absent in New York at the
time of the accident. He returned this
morning and was seen by reporter.
GAS DID IT.
He left his laundry early in the after
noon to go to New York. His son went
to Sunday School, and later followed his
father across the river. Sam claimed
that he left the gas burning in the store.
1t is supposed that it blew out in some
way and that the escaping gas filed the
store and caused the explosion.
There was no fire in the store though.
and the police are at a loss to account
for the manner in which the gas became
ignited. The building, which is owned by
j. ]. Wittpenn OF No. 800 Communipaw

was not as lucky as his landlord. AS he

HOW TO READ A BOOK.

The first thing to do in reading a
book or a story in a magazine, or any
other thing worth reading, is to ascer-
tain who wrote it. An author talks to
US in his books, and just as we like to
know the friends we talk with, we
should like to know the name of the
man or woman whose published thoughts
are entering into our daily lives. There
fore make it a rule. girls, OF read the
title-page of the volume in your hand
and if there be a preface, unless it be
a very long one, read that too. You will
in this way establish an acquaintance
with your author; you will know him p5
sight, and soon you will know him more
intimately. Every author has little ways
and worus OF his own, and you will fin6
yourself recognizing these very swiftly
and lovingly. Byand-by, when you hap
pen in your story on some phrase, or
turn of sentence, or little testing man
nerism which belongs to the author you
are well acquainted with, you will feel
pleased, and the story will mean great
deal more TO you tnan if it were simply
the work Of an unknown person, whose
tones and looks We're quite unfamiliar

entitled thereto from coming on him and
demanding an accounting.
Being unfortunate in his speculatfons,
in most part, Baker his accusers say,
resorted to the bank thefts to get money
to pay these accruing amounts.
In this way he kept those for whom he
was trustee absolutely in the dark as to
the state of their property.
AS their interest and dividends were
paid regularly, they supposed their es-
'tates had fallen into excellent hands.
NO RUN ON THE BANK.
The Shoe and Leather. National Bank
opened for business as usual at nine
o'clock this morning. Everything pro-
eeeded in the usual quiet and orderly
manner. There was no excited crowd Of
depositors at the door, as it was antici-
pated that there might be when it be-
came known that Bookkeeper Samuel c.
Seely had stolen, in collusion with Law
yer Frederick Baker, the great sum Of
s354000, wiping out the banks surplus and
impairing it's capital s94, 900.
On Saturday, when the enormity of the
steal was made known, the directors at
once made ample preparations for a run
today in case of such an unpleasant con-
tingency. Sufficient amounts were pledged
by them to make good the impairment in
the capital. In addition the presidents OF
several other large institutions pledged
their support to the Shoe and Leather to
aid them to weather any gale that might
arise.
When the bank opened for business this
morning it had in it's vaults $1,50O,00O.
The officers calculated that if that went,
in event of a run, they could realize
all that they needed by a sale of secur-
tiles. When the time came for the OPEN
ing of the bank and there was not the
slightest indication of there being any
run, the officers and few directors who
at that early hour were gathered in
President Cranes Office, heaved a sigh
of relief, and one and all declared that
there was no danger.

away drunken men, as it is principally
among that class that they work One

WAVES FROZEN ON TIE DECK.

MONTREAL, Nov. 26, 1S94.-The steam
ship Tiber, from Pictou, N. S.. arrived
here and reports having had terrible
experience in the Gulf. She sailed from
Pictou Saturday, November II, and all
went we'll until November 10, when
hurricane arose and the waves swept
over the vessel forming huge blocks of
ice, which with heavy cargo, caused
great danger of sinking. About 2 o'clock
the next morning a binding snowstorm
set in and the ship had to lay to. All
hands were ordered to clear and anchor,
but it took ten hours to remove the snow
and ice. In the meantime the weather
had become milder and the ship started
again, but near Cape Traverse large
quantities of field ice were met and the
boat had to lay to again for a while.

A very impressive Thanksgiving ser
vice was held yesterday afternoon in
the Y. M. c. A. building. The Scotch
Presbyterian Church Quartette rendered
several appropriate selections for the

AS this was a Thanksgiving service the
speaker enumerated the mahy things for
which thanks should be given, and went
on to say that If we should undertake
to count the temporal blessings we could
never get through. We should rejoice
for all these blessings, but the one for
which we should be most thankful is
the gift of Jesus Christ. A special social
will be given Thanksgiving Day at eight
o'clock, in the parlors of the association
building, to which all young men are
cordially invited, and would urge espe-
eially all those young men who are away
