Young Vanderbilt and Bride Begin the
Honeymoon at Saratoga.
SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 3.-There was
no demonstration attending the arrival
here this afternoon of Cornelius Wander
bilt Jr. and his bride. Apartments at the
United States Hotel had been engaged for
them under another name, and the pro-
prietors were not positive OF their coming
until notified by the press representatives.
DR.. John l. Perry, one of the proprietors
met the young couple at the west entrance
of the hotel near the depot, and escorted
them to a parlor suite overlooking the
lawn which they which they will occupy
while here. What their plans are is not
known as yet.
Mr.. Vanderbilt looked somewhat IA
tigued by the trip. On the other hand
Mrs. Vanderbilt was particularly AMI
mated and chatted to her husband In a
lively manner as they walked from the
cars at the depot platform and down the
carriage-way to the hotel. The evening
was spent quietly in their parlors, from
which they can enjoy the orchestra selec-
tions of the band, which is stationed but a
short distance away.

rHR1111Ae SEA ADVENTURE.
Heroic ReseMes by the French Line
Steamer La Bourooone

NEW YORK, Y. N, Aug. 3.-The French
line steamer La Bourgogne, which has just
arrived in New York, had thrilling ex-
perience last Tuesday during the voyage
across. At great risk of life and with al
most superhuman efforts the first officer,
commanding the vessels launch. rescued
the crew OF the German bark Ernst, which
the liner met waterlogged and in sinking
condition.
The bark signaIed for assistance and Cap
tain LIE Boeuf ordered the launch lowered,
with Lieutenant Notay in command.
Within moment it was overturned and
its crew was thrown struggling into the
water. They were saved with life lines,
and then Notay volunteered second at
tempt, which was successful. The small
boat having been pumped out it was again
launched, but on account of the high seas
it could not get near the Ernst.
The members of the crew jumped over
board and struck out for the liners boat
and were all safely hauled on board. Two
trips were necessary to bring all the sailors
away from the bark. All ten of the ship
wrecked sailors were brought to this city.

DOLLARS INVOLVED
Financiers Are Startled
by a Very Heavy
Collapse.
MOORE BROTHERS FAIL.
Promoters of the Diamond Match
and New York Biscuit
Companies.
STOCK EXCHANGE TO CLOSE,
Capitalists of Chicago Excited Over a
Big Deal That eliminated in
Disaster.
STOCK EXCHANGE TO CLOSE,

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 3.-Moore Bros,
promoters of the Diamond Match Com
pany and the New York Biscuit Company,
announced tonight that they had failed.
A meeting of prominent fnanciers and
Chicago bankers was held at midnight at
the residence of one of them on the South
Side, and it was agreed by them to close
the Chicago Stock Exchange indefinitely
tomorrow at 10 A. NJ. These gentlemen
said it was the only course for them to
pursue, and that as far as they were con-
cerned their stock was margined to q
figure which would protect them.
The Stock Exchange will be called to or.
der at 10 A. NJ, when the failure of Moore
Bros. will be announced. The speculative
value of the failure will be about $40, ,0O0,-
600.
1t is thought by some that the adjourn
ment of the Stock Exchange will last but
few days and that matters within that
time can be Strengthened out in a way that
will make the losses as easy as possible to
bear. Diamond Match opened at 222 in
the Chicago Stock Exchange to-day.
There were heavy sales all day, and the
loads that we're sold were enormous.
Notwithstanding this the stock did not
break, going only to 221. There were
slight rumors of the difficulties which sur
rounded the Moores, but no one suspected
the crash. New York Biscuit sold early at
9211s, going to go shortly after noon. There
was rally, however, and Biscuit closed az
90.
Those present at the meeting of the d.
rectors OF the Stock Exchange tonight felt
that should the exchange open as usual
to- morrow morning the bears would make
slaughtering of values which would cost
a good deal, and in large measure un-
necessary loss.
They believed that the closing of the ex-
change and the prevention of the making
of speculative quotations OF the securities
would enable brokers having open trades
to close them, and the situation could be
liquidated in a large measure without the
sharp decline that would surely follow the
trading in the open market. So far as the
banks are concerned, they are Indifferent
generally as to whether the exchange
should be closed or not. The stocks held
by them are margined to point which
leaves them secure IN any event.
There were present at the meeting the
members of the Stock Exchange govern
ing committee and number of promi-
nent capitalists. This meeting was as
sem pled informally after the announce
ment which was made late in the after
noon by James II. Moore that margin calls
no longer could be met. The announce
ment was made to few of the men mos t

BALTIMORE, ND, Aug. 3.-The fruit
steamer Brixham, Captain Durie, has ar
rived from Gibara, Cuba, with cargo OF
bananas The order of General Weyler
that fruit steamers shall not load at inte-
rior ports has caused blockade of eight
or ten steamers at Gibara. They must
wait while the bananas are lightered long
distances to the steamers. General Wey-
ler's order was issued to prevent filibuster-
ing.
In consequence of this, Chief Engineer
Carlston of the steamer Brixham had a
narrow escape from a Spanish dungeon.
A week ago two officers of the steamer
lowered a small boat from the vessel,
which was lying at anchor mile off Gil
bara, and went out for sail off the port.
While skirting the shore group OF Span
ish officers on land signaled for the two
officers to come ashore. The two men did
not know what to make OF the request,
and held their course, disobeying the
summons.
As the men bore away from the shore
the Spaniards put off in sloop ana be-
gan chasing the small boat from the
Brixham The sloop gradually gained
on the small boat in charge OF Engineer
Carlston, who pressed on all the canvas
the craft would well carry. When the
officers reached the steamer the Spanisn
sloop was only few feet behind, and the
small boat had some of its rigging
smashed in the hurry to get to the Brix-
hams gangway. When the two engineers
leaped ON board the BrIxham the Spanish
were almost near enough TO reach them.
The Spaniards, armed with guns, fol-
| lowed the two men aboard the steamer

Comrincing Literature Is Scattered By
Republican Managers.


Republican Managers.
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 3.-There were
not many visitors of National prominence
at the Republican National headquarters,
and the absence of Com mitteemen Dur
bin, Payne and Leland served to make the
Mecca of Western Republicans a quiet
place.
L. T. Hubbard, former Governor of Min.
nesota, called on his way home to tell the
chiefs that the free-silver sentiment was
on the wane in his State and that Mr..
Towne, the boiling Republican Congress
man for the Sixth District, would be de-
feated.
f. v. Smalley of the literary bureau,
who returned to-day from brief visit to
his Minnesota home, reported that United
States Senator Nelson, who has already
taken the stump, is sanguine OF Republi-
can success in Minnesota, but other Re-
publicans of equal standing are doubtful
of the result. The greater portion of the
State is peopled by Scandinavians, who
changed from the Repub blican to the Popu-
list party, and had it bad. as Mr.. Smalley
expressed it, but are now returning to
vote for Mckinley.
JOnn IL. w ISOn, OulteQ SIates Senator
from Washington, was caller at head
quarters. He said there was large free
silver sentiment in his State, but Wash
ington held unique position in having
large bimetallic element which had no re-
lation to the free-silver vote. This ele-
ment wanted to be educated.
The literary bureau is preparing
series of pamphlets and leaflets, eight or
ten of which will be out this week. They
will relate to the issue as it affects sugar,
wool and skilled mechanics. Thirty-two
pieces of campaign literature bearing on
the currency question have been prepared
by the bureau, and when the last OF them
, is sent out to be read the bureau will rest
in its fight against free silver. Over 100
books bearing on the money question that
have been published for sale generally
have been offered to the committee for
distribution, and when Mr.. Hanna comes
to Chicago they will be submitted to the
committee to see if that body wants to buy
any OF them. kilograms received to-day
at headquarters state that Chairman
Hanna will be here this week, Thursday
or FRIDAY.

and demanded that they be surrend cred
by Captain Durle. The captain, with the
American flag flying over his vessel, re-
fused the request. Then the Spaniards
suggested that the men go ashore and have
the matter settled before the American
Consul, but they refused. fearing the con-
sequences if they got on Spanish soil. The
Spaniards then left the vessel and no fur
ther trouble followed.
The vessel was afterward watched by
small Spanish boats and the officers never
went ashore again. Captain Durie stoutly
maintained his right under the American
flag aud in that way escaped trouble.

believed to be the celebrated Swift silver
mine has been discovered on Roundstone
Greek, thirty miles south of here, in Rock
Castle County. The ore is combined with
lead and smelts at S65 ton. Down sew
eral feet below the top ledge were found
crucibles and otter implements which
leads to the belief that the mine has been
worked in past years. Old residents say
the location tallies with the direction left

regala. Large numbers of other
camps were present. Not nearly all
the people could crowd into the
church. Rev. Owen preached the
funeral sermon.
The weather is disagreeable and
unhealthy. Many people are afflicted
with bad colds.
A Teachers Local Institute was
held in the spacious M. f. church at
Benton last Saturday. The people
are manifesting deeper interest in
the cause of education than formerly.
Not nearly all the people could crowd
into the church to hear the questions
of education discussed. Clyde Hirle-
man, principal of the Benton High
School, had charge of the program.
Miss Faus. teacher of the same school,
was selected secretary. The exercises
of the day consisted of music, recita-
tions, declamations, essays, dialogues,
paper and addresses. This institute
was a decided success in every partic-
ular. The essays and recitations were
first class. Addresses were made by
Supt. Johnston, Prof. Detwiler of the
Bloomsbury Normal, Prof Trescott
Of the Millville Tablet, Prof Miller of
Espy, and Rev. Owen, preacher in
charge of the Benton M. +. Church.
A paper was read by ]. c. Wenner.
A solo was sung by DR.. Carey that
was highly appreciated by the large
audience. Superintendent Johnston's
address on "What the teacher should
be-" was publicly announced by Rev.
Owens as the best he had ever heard
on the subject. Prof Detwiler was
also highly euologized by the Rev,
while Prof Trescot and Prof. Miller
were paid fitting tributes by the same.
Now let us say for Prof Owen that
his address capped the climax of all
the proceedings. We thank Rev.
Owen for paying such a high tribute
to the institute as whole. But the
success of the institute is largely due
to Prof. Hirleman, who managed the
program with a mastery effort. We
have from time to time met several of
the Normal Professors at these edu-
cational meetings, and invariably
have been SO favorably impressed
with them, that lasting friendship
seemed to be stamped unconsciously
in the heart. They seem to radlate
a pure, educational influence that is
inspiring, and no wonder that their
assistance is sought by every local
institute in and out of the county.
We have never met one of them who
was not, in the highest degree, gentle
manly. That they come down to
mingle with us in our educational
meetings, is highly commendable to
them We have met Profs. Noetling,
Wilbur, Sutllff, Albert and Detwiler,
and they all carry that degree of
dignity, courtesy and affability that
command respect among all classes Of
people. The educational world is
certainly made better by such men
working in it.

Thousands of women are dragging out
weary, miserable existence, because
they do not fully realize what is the
matter with them. They know that they
have "fe1nale weakness " but they do
not really appreciate what that means.
They do not know that to this one
trouble is traceable almost all of their
bodily ills. They consider it disease
by itself, and if they have also neuralgia,
nervous headaches, biliousness, kidney
| troubles and other things, they see no
connection between them and the de-
rangements of a strictly feminine nature.
Busy and overworked physicians often
treat these things as separate ailments,
when the whole trouble has the one
source. The reproductive organs are SO
important part of the body that when
they are out of order, the whole system
is deranged. Whatever illness a wo
man has, she will do well to look there
for the cause.

The periodical occasion for an cleo

ate future, and so far as | can see or
am informed, the well established bust

could and should shape and direct the

along as they have done for years. 1t
is not therefore, apparently worth

Observation and experience have

ment. The responsibility is divided
and neither party desires or dares to
attack the powers that be. Hence,
what is bad in the beginning grows
worse, for there is no check anywhere,
and Ring, to use the political slang
of the day, composed of democrats
and republicans is much more danger
Gus than a worse set, confined to a
single party.
Therefore my decided opinion is
that the democrats should nominate
full Town ticket of substantial and
determined democrats, and make a
united and honest effort to elect.
The Town is democratic, and the
democrats should assume the respon-
sibility of the government and admin
istration of all its affairs. Nominate
your most capable men, and there
will be no difficulty in electing them.
This however cannot be done by
desultory and irresponsible caucus. 1t
must be done with regularity and by
authority of the voters. If it is their
work they will support it and make it
successful and effectual. The machin-
ery'ls at hand, let it be put to use.
Bloomsburg is divided into four
