Another Advance Made.

The Kelley cure has been introduced
into the st. Agnes Hospital, Baltimore,
Nd. The good Sisters realize that IN
the Kelley cure is found the only hope
for those addicted to the liquor and
morphine habits, and have made a
contract with the Keely Institute OF
Maryland by which the Kelley treat
ment shall be administered at their hos,
pital by regular physicians instructed
by DR.. Kelley. This is another argu-
ment proving that the Sisters OF Char
ity occupy the front place in the care
of the diseased and in the service OF
suffering humanity. The treatment
was adopted four years ago by the
United States government and Is USED
at the National home. Proving SO ef-
ficacious the treatment is now given
at Fort Leavenworth Post, to the otfi-
GERS and enlisted men of the regular
army. During the past two years the
States of Maryland, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO, Louisiana, North Dakota, Wis
consin and others have by legislative
enactments provided that INDECENT
liquor and morphine habitues beglVen
the treatment.

lima continues its good work at 90

features of the approaching Confed
crate reunion will be the reception
to be given at the Confederate muse
um in honor of Mrs. Jefferson Davis
and her two daughters, Miss Winie

has been exploded. The affair will be
public and through the columns Of
the press, the thousands who will be
in Richmond on the night of June 80,
1896, will be extended cordial invita-
ton to attend. Mrs. Davis and her
daughters will receive in the Georgia
room, which was Mrs. Davis draw

who will be in the room with Mrs.

A Gold Bug Bolt.

CHICAGO, May 24.-At representa-
tive meeting of the sound money men
of Illinois held at the Palmer House
yesterday afternoon, it was decided
that a new Democratic organization in
Illinois should be inaugurated. The
object of the new party will be to de.
feat the silver men, and to that end
they will ignore the present coun.
ty and State committees, and will not
take part in the primaries called for
tomorrow. They will also hold a
State convention of their own, at which
delegation to the national conven-
ton will be chosen. This delegation
will be pledged to the single gold
standard idea. Another meeting will
be held next Thursday and complete
plan of action will be outlined.

and to DR.. J. w. Finn and the fac
ulty of the South Carolina college for
their courtesy.

The women who constituted yester.
days convention were as representa-
tive a body as could be gotten togeth-
er, and their actions reflect credit on
themselves and the organization of
which they are members.
The stay of the visitors was made as
pleasant as possible by the ladies of
Columbia, and all will doubtless often
think of the hospitality of the city on
the Congaree.

Her Children Swept Away.

DURANGO, Ia, May 25.-In the midst
of the storm here tonight, Mrs. Clark,
station agent of the Chicago and Great
Western railroad, was called from her
residence to the depot nearby to gel
orders for train, which had just ar,
rived. She took her four children
with ner, and was at work when the
flood, sweeping down the Maquota
valley, carried away her residence and
finally the depot which was borne
down stream a mile and a half. The
four children were drowned, but Mrs.
Clark clung to the roof and was saved
by the trainmen. Her bereavement
has dethroned her reason.

HUNDREDS THROUGH A BRIDGE,
One of the Years Greatest Disasters at Vic.
toria, B. G.

tOrl8, bs Cs
VICTORIA, B. c., May pa defect.
i've span in the Government street traf.
fc bridge across Victoria Arm, gave
way this afternoon, precipitating a
loaded street car and several private
carriages into the bay, 100 feet below.
The number of victims cannot at this
time be estimated. The bridge was
crowded with vehicles containing
pleasure seekers bound for MacCau'
fey's Point, where the qneen's birth.
day celebration sports werein progress.
At Q p. m., a large and heavily laden
car left Government street, having up
wards of 100 people on board.
When the middle span of the traffic
bridge, about $50 feet IN length was
reached, it collapsed, throwing the car
and a number of carriages and foot
passengers into the water. The car
was completely submerged and all
save few who were on the platform
and roof were drowned. A number
were killed by falling timbers, and a
few escaping by climbing to the float
ing ruins of the bridge. The number
of cars lost and the foot passengers
carried down in the wreck cannot be
learned. It is claimed by many that
fully 200 persons went down with the
span and that more than half of them
perished. The accident occurred so
quickly that nobody has a very clear
recollection of what transpired. A
number of bodies have been carried
out of the harbor by the outgoing tide,
which runs at not less than seven
knots an hour at the point where the
accident occurred.
Sixteen identified bodies have been
recovered, as well as a number, which
have not been identified and others
are constantly being taken out of the
wreck.
Owing to the fact that nearly every
kind of craft in the city was engaged
for the day, boats were hard to pro-
cure and the work of rescue was some
what slow. Steam naptha launches
were hurried to the scene, and in this
particular the boats of the various
warships were the most active. Scores
of people who were 1oundering in the
water or clinging were picked up and
taken to places of safety, but many
sank before the eyes of the rescuers
before they could be reached. The
sad affair has cast deep gloom over
the city. The naval review and sham
battle were cancelled, as were all 9th
er sports planned for the afternoon.
Thousands of sorrewing friends and
relatives are gathered around the ap-
proaches of the bridge eagerly scan
ming each body as the work of rescue
progresses. 1t will probably be several
days before the full extent OF the dis
aster can be correctly estimated.
