Sad Case Of q Foolish Bride Who IL

Sad Case of a Foolish Bride Who IL
Dying In Florida.
As a result of what some folks claim
is witchcraft, Mrs. w. r. Langford, u
bride of but few weeks, who lives about
twelve miles from Barlow, Fla, is on
her deathbed.
Some time ago Mrs. Langford came to
Barlow to attend the Normal Institute,
hoping to pass her examination and after
ward get an appointment as school teach
er. Mrs. Langford was in high spirits
and soon became noted as one Of the jol-
liest Of the Normal students. One day
as she was walking alone In the suburbs
of the town she was accosted by an old
woman of the Meg Merrilies type, whom
Mrs. Langford had never seen before.
The hag surprised Mrs. Langford by ad-
dressing her by name and by telling her
that she had been married only few
days, and that she was the second wife
of her husband; all of which was true.
Mrs. Langford wondered how the old
woman should be SO familiar with the
circumstances of her life, but her aston
ishment increased when the bag, pointing
a skinny finger at her, said: ENJOY your
self while you may, dearie, for in three
months from to-day you will be q corpse"
The old woman disappeared, and has
not been seen since, nor has any clue to
her identity been discovered. Mrs. Lang
ford returned from her walk and told her

The girls were nearly all on the fourth
floor, and frantic with fear. With much
trouble one of the iron lattices was knock
ed off, when one of the girls jumped and
was almost shattered to pieces when she
struck the roof of an adjoining warehouse.
In a similar manner the others followed
to the number of thirty. The ambulances
were kept busy carrying the women and
girls to the hospitals, and some were
driven in cabs to their homes.
From inquiries at the hospitals concern
ing the condition Of the girls injured by
jumping from the windows of the burning
building, it was learned that but little
hope is entertained for the recovery of
at least FIVE. The first girl to make the
terrible leap from the fourth floor to the
warehouse roof was Marie Gagnon, who
was picked up in an insensible condition,
with her back broken.

w. c. McDonald's extensive tobacco
factory in Montreal, Que, was partially
destroyed by fire Thursday evening. The
loss will reach half million dollars, on
which there was no insurance. There was
not . FIRE escape on the outside nor any
appliances on the inside Of the building
for the fighting OF the fire. Even the
windows were guarded by heavy iron
screens, presumably v prevent theft. The
IRE started ct 5 o'clock in the drying
room, and for while smoldered., Then
suddenly the names burst through and 4
most awful panic en6ued.
There were 600 employees in the build.
ing, and more than half this number were
women and girls. The shrieks Of the
women 40 they beat against the iron
screens, praying the crowd to do some
thing to save them, were most heartrend-
ing. As the flames burst ont three FIRE
men were on the roof. and for fully twen-
tys minutes their liyes were despaired Of,
till finally ladders were found to bring
them down. They were badly burned.

striking advances OF the preceding weeks.
There Is 3 firmer undertone in nearly all
lines of trade, but at number Of points
gains in industries are more marked than
In commercial lines. The furry In petrol
cum Is succeeded by q very dull market.
Wooden dress goods mills have secured but
. very few orders for fall delivery, which
accounts for the small activity in the
market for wool. Cotton goods are firm at
the advance in cotton and higher wages
paid eastern mill operatives. The weekly
average OF exports of wheat, including
n0ur as wheat, from both coasts of the
United States since January / 10 reported
this week 1t 2,43l, 600 bushels. This is

and in 1892, 3,259, 600 bushels. In the like
week of 1892 the corresponding total was
2,9OO, 900 bushels. At the west, with favor.

WASHINGTON special: It is announced
that through ambiguity in the wording of
the entry made by the United States SUE
preme Court touching the petition for q
rehearing of the income tax cases, IL was
misunderstood. When the court takes up
the income tax question May 8, with full
bench, 1t will again 60 into the merits of
all the points involved, instead of confn-
ing arguments to the question as to whether
or not rehearing shall be granted, as the
entry Of the court in the matter was under
stood to mean. The fact is, the petition
for rehearing has already been granted,
80 the whole question will be opened
again.

Laughed to scorn Montreal the
Scene of Terrible Accident.
Defies Her Big Foe.

London advices say that England will
give Japan open support in the ratification
of the treaty of peace with China. A
friendly understanding exists between
the mikado and Lord Rosebery's govern
ment. But this is not all. This tacit al
lance is triple one and the United States
is the third party to it. japanese diplo-
mats, with wonderful astuteness, have
been for weeks preparing for the situa-
ton which now confronts the nations.
They recognized that if they could secure
even the moral support of England and
America in settling the terms of peace
with their conquered foe Japan could af-
ford to ignore or defy the rest of the
world. England entered heartily into the
arrangement and representatives of both
Japan and England are now using the
most strenuous efforts to induce the Unit
ed States to stand by its tacit agreement
and join in protecting japan against for
eign interference. Such an attitude, it
Is represented, would not be repugnant
to the American policy, but it is a pecu-
liarly unusual and strange one for Great
Britain to assume.
Japan watches with keen interest the
course of the European powers regarding
the Shimoneseki treaty. japanese diplo-
mats are not particularly apprehensive of
the outcome. The refusal of England to
act in concert with Russia, Germany and
France has encouraged the japanese to
believe that no strong single policy can
be agreed on by the countries that feel
their interests in the East are threatened
by the terms Of the peace. Germany ID
thought to be but half-hearted in her co.
operation with France and Russia, if such
cooperation has been assured. Much con.
6dence Is felt in the assurances of good

ST. PETERsBUa special: Japan, reply
ing to the note Of Russia intimating that
there are various conditions In the treaty
of peace with China which Russia cannot
allow to be executed, informs Russia that
II Japan yielded to the demands Of Russia,
France and Germany, she would expose
herself to revolution, as the japanese are
intoxicated with victories and would as
sent to no concessions. In spite of this,
Russia has determined to maintain her de-
mand.
LONDON special: The Pail Mall Ga
zette, commenting on the trouble between
Great Britain and Nicaragua, says nothing
could be more courteously correct than the
attitude OF the United States in the diff
Guilty, adding: ut is good omen for a
close understanding upon the China-Japan
question. Our action may be expected to
teach the Spanish states that
none of them are too insignificant to be-
have decently to foreigners"
CHRIsTIANA special: Premier Stang in

he cannot accept the office again and that
he is urging the King to come to decision

The Premier also declared that all parlia-
mentary action must he postponed until it
is possible to form a new Ministry, as cir
cumstances make it impossible for the
present Ministry to continue in office.
TORONTO, Ont, special: A definite de-
| cisiOn has been reached that the great
Pam American Congress will be held in

len of st. Paul is in the city making ar
rangements. He will send out some 5000
notices to newspapers in America intimat-
ing that the congress will be held in To-
ronto. Several thousand delegates will be
IN attendance.
OTTAWA, Ont, special: The prohibition
commission appointed by the government

belief, in view of its operation in Name,
Kansas and Iowa, that it could not be en-
forced.
