though he exercised good judgment in
doing so. Judge Bellinger and Attorney
Murphy were not satisfied with the
verdict, and agreed to leave the matter
to jury to decide. After doing so and
getting left they kicked, and both went
back on their implied agreement to stand
by the verdict. Unfortunately they
have the game in their hands and can
keep on trying the case until Taffe's
money is exhausted. The second jury
probably took into consideration the
extra expense Tafe was put to in law

spending his money until he is broke.
He can't help himself, but suppose the
new juries should go on Indefinitely
raising the verdict each time, what
would his honor, Judge Bellinger, do
then? The case will be retired.

The alarm of fire this morning was
caused by a burning hue in Mrs. Hand

two stovepipe holes in the hue, the
lower one being stopped with the ordl-

pose. 1t seems the SCOT had accumu-
lated and caught fire from the sparks
dropping down on it. The blaze came

no damage was done, other than making

the run next summer, if it depends at

light one. In 1898 no fish were turned
out of the hatcheries, SO that the run ol

Judge Bellinger, according to the

jury in the Taffe case, because it gave
Taffe larger verdict than the first jury.
The United States attorney was not

Judge Bellinger, neither was Taffe.
True he consented to accept the amount,
in satisfaction of all damages, but he
never even intimated that he thought
the sum sufficient to cover all damages.

GOLD BY THE YARD.
How the Gliding Used in Ornamental
Decoration Is Prepared.

The beating of the innumera BILE little
square pieces of gold which are used to
cover domes and signs and so forth,
forms a distinct industry in the gold
trade, which employs large number of
hands and requires no small amount of
skill.
The long, low building in which the
work is carried on is filed throughout
the day with the sound of hammers.
On every side little boxes containing
tiny rolls of gold are to be seen, which
although only measuring an inch and
half in length, are worth each about e10.
The gold is received in bars one-eighth
of an inch in thickness, an inch in
width, and weighing 240 pennyweights.
This is rolled into ribbon thirty yards
in length.
1t is then given to the workmen in
strips measuring seven yards, each of
which is cut up into 120 pieces. These
are now ready to be beaten out by hand.
They are placed protected by fine
skins) in a tool known as the clutch,
and are thoroughly pounded out on a

such way that there is absolutely no
vibratory movement. The process is
repeated several times, the gold as it
spreads being continually subdivided
until it is of the exact dimensions re-
quired.
The skins in which the gold is beaten
are 30, delicate that they will tear as
easily as paper; nevertheless they will
| Withstand the continual hammering for
several years. The gold, which is
finally beaten down to 200 of an
inch, is rubbed with "brine'' before be-
ing placed in the skins, IN order that it
shall not adhere to them.
Easy as this work of beating out the
gold may seem, it is in reality an art OF
a very delicate description. The work
man must know to nicely exactly how
hard or gentle the blows of his hammer
must be, and also the exact spot on
which they should fall. Accordingly, 6
very superior class of men are employed
in the business.-Pearson's Weekly.

to take a look at it yourself. Word

many of the passengers and crews were

will reach 81, 500, 900. Many heroic acts
were performed by deckhands aad
others to save lives.
When the cyclone swept down upon
East ST. Louis il obliterated blocks OF
business houses and dwellings and left
behind in its red trail of death scores
of human beings buried beneath the
walls of fiattened buildings or crushed
to death in the streets by the flying de-
bris. The scene is simply appalling.
From the river bank to the National
stock yards, distance over mile,
scarcely building is left standing.
The greatest slaughter was done on
the island, so-called. Here were located
the Vandalia freight house and gen.
eral offices, the river boats warehouse
and humble abodes of workingmen.
Nothing is left standing, the places
where formerly houses and freight de-
pot stood being literally swept by the
fury of the storm. In the Nandalia gen.
eral Office at one time there were %
killed, the bodies of some of whom are
still buried beneath the brolled rafters
and bricks. The estimated death list
at East st. Louis is 200 and $50 injured.
1t will be days before the exact situa-
ton is known. The search for the
dead was pushed vigorously but it
was slow work. The river front for
1000 yards is one great mass of wreck
age. Steamboats,, ferry boats, trans
fers and tugs piled in an indiscriminate
mass, some partly submerged, others
high and dry on the shore. The very
stone masonry on the east end of the
Eads bridge was cut off clean with the
railroad tracks while the approaches
are twisted and wrecked.
Scores Killed at other Points.
A cyclone of great violence, bringing
with it death and destruction, visited
the northern part of Audrain county,
about eight miles northeast of Mexico,
Mo. AT least 10 were killed outright
and 35 injured.
Southern Illinois was the scene OF
two destructive cyclones. The first
did much damage at East st. Louis
and vicinity. The second, although no
less terrific in force, fortunately spent
itselfin district less densely populated.
The latter storm came from the north
west, striking the village of New
Boden, 20 miles west of Centralia.
Only five buildings were left standing
and the list of killed is reported all the
way from Is to IS. At other points
about Centralia several were killed, and
il is known that ~ were killed and 80
injured in that section. Near Mt. Yer.
non five lives more were sacrificed
near Vandalia 10 were killed; at Brock.
inridge succumbed to the elements.
