thought nothing of it, but it increased in
size rapidly, and soon broke through the

was put under treatment of the best phySi-

could do her no good and simply prescribed
autiseptics to keep the place clean. Both
her grandmother and aunt, by the way, had
died with cancer, and when appriscd OF this
fact the doctors told me that they would
not attempt to save her; that she was in
durable. Although the cancer had by this
time become deep seated, and her health
very low, had one of the most noted spe-
cialists of New York to treat her. After
treating her awhile this doctor admitted
that the case was hopeless and further
treatment useless. 1t IS difficult to imagine

BROOKLYN, Jan. 2s.-There was a
singular accident and scene of great
excitement at East New York at $50
O'clock last night, Trolley car No. AT
of the Fulton-street line was the prime
cause of the trouble. The trolley pole
became entangled with the overhead
wire in some manner, and Il shower of
sparks rained down ON the roof of the
car, setting it afire. This was along
side the Alabama avenue ear house.
and within the car house was stationed
battery. 4 portion of the sixty
ninth is also stationed there as guard
to the battery. Some of the militia
men attempted TO pull the trolley pole
down and got shocked. Others who
jumped ON the platform of the car
jumped off again and declared the car
was alive with electricity.
While this was going on some one
rang fire alarm and Il couple of fire
engines dashed up. just as the mem
bers of the battery ran out of the ear
house, the engines, emitting showers
of sparks from their tunnels and drop.

yelling like Indians at the firemen and
ordering them to stop. One of the
engines WAS stopped less than six feet
from a. eaisson. Showers Of sparks
fell all around. The horses were
seized by the militiamen, and engine,
horses and all were dragged away in a
hurry.
The excitement was over in five min.
utes, but it was intense while it lasted.
The cassons were similar to the one
which blew up in Chicago during the
great railroad strike The fire on the
trolley car was extinguished before
much damage was done. 1t is rumored
that the seventh regiment and the six
ty-ninth battalion and possibly the
seventh-frst regiment are to be or,

MENDOZA. Ill, Jan. 97.-The remains
of William Long were found in the
ruins of the llenning brewery by the
searehers, increasing the total of the

THE REDUCED RESERVE.

The Financial Situation Discussion at the
White IIouse-Congress VIII Probably
be Called Upon to DO Something to Re-
Heve the Pressure, Falling Which, More
Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The reserve
was further reduced Saturday-Ss1o, :
600 being withdrawn at New York
and stood at the close of business at
S55, SEQ, 995. For three hours Saturday
the financial situation was discussed
at the White House by the President,
Secretary Carlisle and Attorney Gem
eral 0lney. The result of that confer
ence was not divulged, but it is be-
lieved that the president has decided
to call the attention of congress to the
treasury situations; point out anew the
grave peril that threatens the ability
of the treasury TO redeem in gold it's
legal tender notes. and thus place upon
congress the possibility for relieving
the situation. This he will do, it is
said, in a message to congress. which
will, if it can be prepared in time, be
sent in to-day; If not, then on to-mor-
row at the latest.
He will give the amount of gold re-
ccived from the two bond issues, and
show that with an addition of $780,
100000 to the bonded indebtedness
within one year, the treasury possesses
less gold than it did on February 1,
1894.
What remedy he viii suggest is not
known, but the president, who has
kept constantly Informed on the situa-
ton, is known to have said that reme-
dies of simple but effective character
can be applied to strengthen the pub
lie credit and put a stop to further
gold exports.
If congress, after receiving this mes
sage. fails to speedily act, the old law
under which two bond issues have al
ready been made will be again in
voked, and another bond issue, prob
ably of 500, 600, 600, be announced.
