Chicago Smowboumsl.

Chicago, Nov. 25-"A heavy
snowstorm visited Chicago during
the early hours of tie morning, leav.
ing thick mantle Of the beautiful
for the street tralic to contend with,
and the upper hand had barely been
achieved about the middle Of the
afternoon when another fall began.
1t still continues at late hour to-
night, with every promise of a more
severe storm than that of yesterday.
All the street car lines of the city
we're caught mapping by this morn
ing's downfall, and as a result most
of Chicago's population walked to
its place Of business to-day and the
railway companies did not pretend to
get into their usual trim till after
midday. Owing to the City Treas
ury being depleted the Street Clean
ing Department was unable to come
to the rescue of pedestrians, who
were compelled to waid ankle deep
the day through, first in snow and
later in the slushiest slush.-"
Who said Sullivan county is the
coldest place in the world !?
The organization of a debating
society at this place, which was an
object of mention in our last issue,
was properly attended to, and the
subject for discussion Friday evening
will be, "are corporations benefit
or detriment to our country"

A COnsuIIi ptiOn Cure.

New York, Nov. 24.-A physician
said to>day that the new remedy for
consumption discovered by a New
York medical man, and said by a
member Of prominent doctors to be
an absolute cure for the disease,
was asepsin. at is" said he, "an
acid, extremely poisonous in it's un-
modified form, but as now prepared
for use in germ maladies entirely
harmless. / will not say that Dr.
Cyrus Edison is its discovcrer, but
the remedy is at present prepared
only in his laboratory and under his
immediate supervision. IL is, I
know, free to any reputable physi-
clan who may desire to test it,"
GAS to its value, know to cer-
tainty that it is beneficial in the
highest degree and, aside from its
application in consumption, it is
perhaps rs important as destruc-
tive agent in severe malaria trouble.
having as it undoubtedly has, so rapid
an effect upon malaria bacili, it will
hest show its value in places Ike
Panama, where the unacclimated
soon succumb to the miasmatic i'm
fluences.
The first trial Of Prof. Maragliano's
consumption serum in this city.
which is being conducted in such
quiet manner at the Italian Hospital
promises to attract much attention
not only in medical circles, but
among all classes Of people.
''The least sail in enthusiasm
about this serum just now," said DIR
Paul Gibicr. at the Pastcur Institut,
tonight. "ihe better. perhaps. Ii
is not right to raise hopes that may
prove false. The remedy is only in
its experimental stage snd while il
has been shown to be beneficial in
certain cases not enough is yei
known about II that we may declare

On Saturday evening last Edith
NJ. Geiger, wife of Thomas Geiger,
of Tivoli, was found dead, lying on
her face in the front yard OF their
residence in the village of Tivoli.
The death was so sudden and unex-
pected that foul play was at once
suspected, and George b. Smith,
the justice of the peace, was called
upon to hold an inquest. Sunday
morning a jury, consisting of Geo.
W. Montgomery, Chas. Lloyd, G. B.
Geiger and G.. W. Doan, was impan-
eled and post mortem examination
held by DIR. n. NJ. Essick. There
were no external marks Of violence.
and the postmortem revealed that
death was caused by violent hem.
morrhage of the lungs.
The evidence produced at the in
quest showed that Francis Geiger
the husband, right after the evening
meal, went to a neighbor farm house
on an errand and remained away for
an hour and half. His wife had
previously been complaining slightly
but neither he nor she were at all
alarmed at her condition Of health.
He was therefore so greatly surprised
and shocked when upon his return
he found his wife lying dead in front
of his threshold, that no other ey.
planation than violence offered itself
to him, and an alarm was at once
raised, and the justice of the peace
called upon to make an investigation.
The jury rendered verdict of natu.
raj death, in accordance with the
facts produced on the hearing.

The United States Leather COM
pany, which was formed in May, '93
by the consolidation of the large
leather firms in New York City,
whose tanncrics are in Pennsylvania
and other states, ordered most of it's
100 tanneries sometime ago to shut
down for two months, or until such
time as there is improvement in the
market. According to a statement
made by President Mark Holt, of
the company, there has been scarcely
any business for the past few months
and the ordering OF some of the tam
neries closed was nothing more than
other companies outside the trust
are doing.
In this vicinity the United States
Leather company controles the tan>
neries at Salladasburg, Proctor, Ral-
ston, Hoytville, Laporte, Muncy
Valley, Hillsgrove and Jamisop, all
of which are now in idleness. The
big tanneries at Newberry and Lock
Haven, owned respectively by Mess
rs. Mosser & Co. and Kistler and Co
are still running with the usual cons
pletement. These with several other
big concerns at Allentown, refused
to join the leather trust.
A gentleman connected with
representative New York house, is
quoted as saying:
1T is hard, to be sure, on the
many employees thrown out Of work.
but in the condition of the business
it was inevitable. The general de-
preston of 1898 produced an effect
even in the hide business, although
this is one line of business that can,
not be affected Immediately, since
the rising of cattle takes
time and they are slaughtered for
the beef, the hides being really
by-product. But other causes had
been operating to curtail the supply.
Prices were low all over the world
'lt became apparent after time
that there would in all probability
be scarcity of hides, and last year
the United States Leather company
and all the other tanners began to
get in hides from all over the world,
with the result that the prices for
them were bid SO high that pretty
soon the tanners found they could
not turn them into leather and mar
ket them at satisfactory profit
They began to look around for
way to right things and themselves,
and the big consolidated company,
which controls the greater number of
the tanneries, concluded to take
the most obvious method and stop
the outpour of leather for time.
"rhe existence of the United
States Leather company came out of
similar shutting down Of a great
number of tannerles by agreement
several years ago, and daring that
time the other tanners reaped the
benefit of the market in which, for
the time, they were the only sellers.
But the combined tanners came out
of it so we'll in the end that the con-
solidated company was formed, and
1t is taking the chances now. The
independent tanners, while their
stock lasts, will make some money,
Isuppose.

A Wild Time at Cripple Creek-Nev Ex-
changes Come Into Existence and Even

Daily Transfers in Denver o f Over Half
Million.
Denver, COL, November 19.-Amin-
ing stock craze is now fully on in this
State, and some make the prediction that
the wild days of Comstock will be repeat
ed or exceeded before the winter will have
passed.
Three mining exchanges at Colorado
Springs, one each at Cripple Greek and
Pueblo, seem not to meet the require
ments. The demand for mining stocks
has become SO great that the real estate
exchange has turned its quotations to
CripplegCreek stocks.
The Denver mining exchange bsgan
yesterday to hold two daily calls The
brokers are sw amped.
One broker complains that he could
not fill single order upon list calling
for total of 16. 600 shares, because the
stock was not on SALE Another broker
stated that his commissions now amount
to 5000 day.
Brob ers in Colorado Springs and Den
YER are turning away orders which they
have no time to attend to, nor fill. The
struggle is to buy stocks, few selling Ok
cept at big advance This demand for
stocks comes from all classes Of people,
who believe that a general advance in
the prices of all Cripple Greek stocks is
certain to come.
Over 8 so Incorporated companies now
have stocks to sell. s
In the new companies the stocks were
listed to sell at from 81. so to $50 pei
thousand shares, and then after the de.
mand sets in these are transferred at
slight advances so that such stocks grad
uaIly rise to value of a cent or fraction
better per share.
The next transfer brings the stock ul
to probably two cents and thus the specu-
lation il creases and excites.
The total daily transfer of shares in
Denver now amounts to over $500, 900.
In Colorado Springs the aggregate
daily sales amount 10 nearly one million
shares. Cripple Creek is all excitement.
The camp is fairly overrun with visit
ors and business is extremely livey in all
branches of mining affairs.
