self was sick at the time, and the two
occupied the same bed, both being
nureed by her brother Thomas McAboy,
Who is an experienced sick nurse. Miss
Sharp refused at first to take medicine
that she offered and also refused to have
physician called. The violent purging
continued for some days, and was then
stopped by dose of medicine given by
Mrs. Oskes. Neither Miss Sharp or Mrs.
Cakes had any idea that the sickness
was in any way dangerous until
the night before she died. In-
tlammation then set in and she died
on Saturday morning just about daylight.
Being asked IT she had reason to be-
lleve that there was anything wrong
with the girl other than the ailment
named, Mrs. Oakes said she had thirty
years practice as mid dwife in Ohio. and
thought she was competent to form an
opinion on the subject and did not believe
then or nov that there was anything else
the matter with her. She had met Flora
Steward three years ago in Ohio. Also

connect Flora Sharp with Flora Steward,
but afterwards thought she was the
same person. Told Miss Sharp that she
resembled Flora Steward, but the girl
said, "Don't call me that, i am Flora
Sharp"
The incidents as gathered up by the
father indicate that no doctor was called
in to attend the girl, that it was repre-
sented that she was an orphan and had
no means, and that no unnecessary ex-
pense could be incurred IN the funeral,
and at the cemetery, to the sexton, Mrs.
Oakes gave the name Of the dead girl as
Flora Sharp, which Mr.. Steward says
WAS the maiden name Of the girl's moth

Oakes to the authorities Of the death or

Mr.. Steward Of the illness or death Of

night by Co. II, N. N. G., was an ex-
ceedingly pleasant occasion and the
armory crowded with visitors and friends
OF the members of the company. The
splendid new quarters were the subject
of much favorable comment and the
company complimented on all sides. The
armory was tastefully decorated with

The beneficial effects of filtration
of the water supply, says the Medical
News, October 9, seem to be strikingly
shown by the experience of Girard coli
lege, Philadelphia. This is located in
the district which has been for some
years supplied by direct pumpage-
that is. the Schuylkill water is thrown
directly into the pipes. The typhoid
death rate for 1893 was quite high In
that district, although apart from the
bad water the sanitary conditions are
very favora ble. At Girard college,
however, there is but little of the fever
in a population of over fifteen hun
dred. All the water supplied to the
Institution is thoroughly filtered.
Shipbuilding in the United King
dom during 1894 showed an increase Of
nearly zoo, 900 tons over 1898, although
ii does not attain the average of the
years preceding. Steamers were built
aggregating e66.21e tons. and sailing
vessels 100, Ss4 tons: this represents 1893
vessels in all. The proportion of steam
ers to sailing vessels, which is steadily
increasing every year is now 9o.1s per
cent. During the year marine engines
were built with total of 97I.6I6 horse
power. The marked feature OF con-
struction was the effort TO obtain enor-
nous capacity for limited gross tom

New York, Feb. g.-The break of per
cent in Canadian Pacific on the London
stock exchange today owing to the pass
age of the dividend on the common stock,
and the consequent heaviness OF the mar
kets for American securities, exercised
a very depressing influence on speculation
here at the opening of business this morn

auguarted for both the home and foreign
accounts. Canada Pacific, on sales of
100 shares, broke e15 per cent, TO IS per

noon on sales OF 200 shares, it receded an
additional per cent, and closed at the
lowest point touched. In the general
market the lowest sales of the day were
made as a rule before noon except some
of the industrial shares which reached the
lowest point later the DAY. The de

In l84S he was sent as diplomatic agent
to the headquarters of Gen. Lueders,

again in the Danube principalities.
Everywhere he made history, almost
inperceptibly, without trumpet or

and minor aids. He went to Teheran
