DESTRUCTIVE LIGHTNING.
Strokes That Have Resulted in Enormous
 Loss of Life.

The most destructive. strokes of light ming have been those which have caused explosions. There have been several notable Instances of accidents of this kind. Thus. on August IS, 1869, says the Bangor Commercial. the tower of St. Nazaire, at Brescia, was struck by lightning. In large vault beneath the tower lay an immense quantity of gun powder. This immediately exploded; sixth part of the whole city of Brescla was destroyed, while not single buiId- ing escaped damage. The stones of the tower were flung up into the air and carried by the force of the ex- plosion to immense distances. The num- Der of persons killed was 5000. In an- other case, the fortress of Luxembure, in which again there was stored great quantity of gunpow6er, was struck by lightning. The explosion that followed reduced the whole of the lower town to heap of ruins. In this instance. some of the stones composing the fort ress were hurled to a distance of close on three miles. Again, in November. 1856, the church of St. John, in the Island of Rhodes, which was used as {, powder magazine, which struck in the same way. The church and the houses in the neighborhod were destroyed, and more than 200 dead bodies were discov- cred among the debris.

PARIS DRESSMAkERS.
There Are Enough of Them to Form a
 Good Sized Town.


 Paris is the city where the dressmak- ing trade flourishes as it does in no other spot in the world. In 1850 the number Of couturieres, as given in the Annnaire du Commerce, tine commer- cial directory of those days, was only 15S. There were besides 67 shors for the sale of ready-made feminine appar- el, but there were none, as there are to-day, which sold lingerie or certain articles exclusively.
 In the Bottin Gas the Paris direc- tory is familiarly known) of 1895 there are 1,636 couturieres and 225 commer- cial houses for the sale of ready-made garments, besides many establish ments which manufacture end sell jupons de desous or undcr-petticoats alone. The number of working dress makers in Paris is estimated :st GiJ, GOO. In all France, according to M Georges Michel, the industry Of manu- featuring the various articles of wom- ans dress is in the hands Of Sl 100 male and 143,643 female owners of shops or factories. These furnish employment to 700,S01 persons, of whom over 5OO,- GOO are women. ----,-. ,e--.
 In addition to these there are 925 .S55 persons who make their living from in- dustries which are tributary to that of the manufacture of feminine aDpar- el. The total value of the product of this labor from so many hands is esti- mated at 950,0OO. .OOO,

NORTHERN PACIFIC REORGANIZATION.
The Assessments on This Stock Were
Considered Heavy and Some OF the
Holders OF the Third Mortgage
Were of the Opinion Tint Their
interests Had Been Sacrificed.

New York, March 16.-There was lit
tle news ahoa to-day to affect specu-
lation at the Stock Exchange outside
of the publication OF the Northern Paci-
fc plan OF reorganization. Even the
official announcement had only tempo
rary effect. This, probably, can be ex-
planned by the fact that the provisions
of the plan are so ~far-rcaching tina the
street, quick as 1t is to discount future
events. had been unable TO fully grasp
the subject matter. The assessments on
this stock. however, were considered
heavy and some of the holders of the
third mortgage were of the opinion that
their interests had been sacrificed for
the Consols. The first effect OF the pub
ltcation of the plan was q decline In the
common to rs. and in the preferred to
112. The Consolidated 5s, on the other
hand. rose from 45k to 49h@49S. The
Northern Pacific issues were not partic-
ularly active in the stock market. only
$4,000 shares being traded in. but In the
bond department the dealings In the is
sues of the company footed up 20, 900.
The general railway list presented lit
tie of interest. The tendency at first
was downward. but after u moderate
reaction the market improved.
Tobacco, which has been sold right
and left OF late. took on considerable
strength and gradually worked up to
81. the highest figure for some time past.
Sugar opened at l14A, ex-dividend of 3
per cent, rose to ll59s. and closed at
lliA.
In the last hour of business the mar
ket was firm in tone. the strength OF
Tobacco and the stcadiness of Northern
Pacific, preferred. having had Il good
effect. Speculation left off firm. AS n
rule. however. the railways showed loss
es of AGA per cent. The gain In the
1ndustrials ranged from Is to z per cent.
Pacific Mail lost lM during the day.
Northern Pacific bonds. except for the
third division. were firm.
