Died Trying to Save His Brother.

LANCASTER, June 3.-One of the
saddest drowning accidents that has
occurred in years shocked the COM
munity this evening. The victims
were James and Willie Stock, aged
s and respectively, sons of Freder-
ick Stock, coachman. The boys,
with number of companions, were
bathing in the Conestoga Greek, at
Lamparter's Meadow. They could
not swim, and James, the younger
of the brothers, got beyond his
depth and becaTe exhausted. He
was carried out by the swift current,
and William, observing his brothers
peril, madea brave attempt at rescue.
He tried to reach the side of the
drowning boy, and he too became
exhausted and sank beneath the sur
face. The drowning was witnessed
by the companions of the boys, who
were poweriess to render any aid.
They gave the alarm and a search
ing party went to the scene of the
tragedy and in short time the bod
les were recovered and taken home.

CHARLESTON, W. VA, June A.
Striking miners, seeming to have
tired of peaceful measures. have
again resorted to violence. The val
liable drum house of M. T. Davis, at
the Morris Greek Mines, has been
burned down by them. Theloss will
be several thousand dollars. Early
yesterday morning a trestle over
Mars creek, on Sewell and Gilkason
Branch of G. & o., was total destroy
ed by fire, stopping all coal ship
ments.
Last night dynamite was explod, d
under the G. & O. bridge over Nor
ris creek, slightly damagin. it, but
not impeding travel.
Division Superintendent j. M.
Gill then wired Sheriff Silman that
phe strikers were coming to Winifred
to intimidate miners, and asked him
to take as many deputies there as
tossible. Mr.. Silman has his depu-
ties here in readiness to go at mo-
ment's notice. Deputy Chase is al.
ready at Winifred.
Eighty strikers got off boat at
Winifred this morning, Others are
walking down the track to the same
point, where they will meet. They
have no declared purpose, hut il is
feared that they mean violence. The

Bismarck's Debts,

Nobody in Germany has felt the
evil effects Of the agricultural depres-
sion more keenly than has Prince
Bismarck. His enemies say that in
this fact lies the reason for his bitter
opposition to the Governments policy
OF reducing the grain tariff by treaties
with Russia, Austria and the Balkan
States.
10 persons who have read of the
magnificent presents given to Bis
marck by the old Emperor it has
been a surprise to learn recently that
his estates are heavily mortgaged.
His present from the old Emperor
after the Austro Prussian war
of 1866 was 100000, and with
this sum he bought his place at
Varzin.
After the Franco-P russian war he
received from the same hands the
Saxon forest at Friedrichsruh, valued
at S75O,OOO. He inherited the ances-
trail estate at Schoenhausen. On
Awril l, 1883, Bismarck's 10th birth
day, his admirers throughout the
world gave him that portion of the
Schoenhausen property which his
father had been obliged to sell when
times were hard. The money value
of the gift was some 100000. Bis
marck is also a distiller, a forester,
and the owner or large backyard.
Despite all these advantages, how
ever, he has foundi it impossible to lift
the mortgages, amounting to about
S75O,OO0, which have encountered his
estates for many years. Of his gross
income more than $4,000 must be de-
voted every year to paying the inter
est on his debts. The burden is not
agreeable to the old Chancellor, and
he has often remarked to his friends
recently that his ambition to leave an
unencumbered property to his chill
dren would never be gratifed.-Ex.

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
