NEWARK, N. j., July 1s.-Two men

arm broken, taken to the hospital; Thomas
Brennan, 80 years old, cut about the body,
taken to the hospital.
The men were working twelve feet below
the surface in sewer on Jersey street,
near Fourth. The sides of the excavation
had been improperly braced this morning,
and last nights rain had undermined the
sides. Without warning 600 tons of earth
gave way, carrying down bracing timbers
and rock upon the laborers.
Eleven of the men were saved from
death by a shelf formed by the timbers.
Ryan and Villaud were buried out of sight,
Larraby and Brennan had their heads
above the surface.

Saturday last the board of directors of that

for war; According to the annual report
made by the directors on December 81,
1894, the Associated Press assessments are
now much higher than they were in
August, 1898. For instance, at that time
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette and
Enquirer were each paying $9S 6S week
for report which now costs them each
$3.50 35.
Each of the morning papers published
in Detroit then paid S116 week, while
they are now paying $3.50 80. The In
dianapolis News paid $65 II and is now
paying 500 o. The Kansas City Journal
and the Times each paid $117 20 and the

man papers each $120 81. The Minneapo-

$3.50 81. The st. Paul Dispatch paid $94 25
and is now paying $153 16. The Register
says that if the members who signed the
guarantee fund have any nerve they will
not pay cent until they are forced to at
the end of a lawsuit, and that they are not
duly informed as to the necessity for any
such assessment.

The condition OF general trade continues ir-

a distinct falling of in demand for iron and
steel, with perhaps the heaviest reaction in

long list OF decreases in quotations for mer-

From some recent life insurance sta
tistics it appears that the presidential
Office is a fatal one.
At Washington's Inauguration his
expectation of life. according to the in
surance tables, was sixteen years, but
he lived only ten years. The next sew
en- presidents not only lived out their
expectation of life, but the two Adams
es, jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Van
Buren,, and Tyler exceeded it.
But Harrison fell nine years short of
his expectation of life, Polk seventeen,
Taylor eleven, Pierce seven, Lincoln
sixteen, johnson twenty-five, Grant
seven. Hayes three, Garfield twenty
two, and Arthur fifteen. 1t is true that
Lincoln and Garfield were assassinated,
but the assassination Of president
should always be taken into account as
possibility.
Our first eight presidents exceeded
their expectation of life forty-fv years
in the aggregate, while their success
ors fell ITO years short. This may
seem strange when it is recollect-
ed that the length of human life has
steadily increased during the century.
The compiler of these statistics sug-
gests an explanation. He says:
1.-THE fact seems plain to me that the
presidential Office is becoming too
heavy burden for any man to assume
without almost certain shortening of
his life: The responsibility is so great,
the tension SO destructive. that never
again expect to see a president survive
the full period OF his natural expecta-
ton
Evidently the presidential Office is a
dangerous one, but very few of our pat.
