MRS. LYNCH INJURED.
She Is Now Seeking to Recover Dam.
ages from the Scranton Trac.
tiOn Company.

And still another damage suit is on
trial against the Scranton Traction
company. Mrs. Mary Lynch, of Parker
street, Providence. is the plaintiff and
the amount she claims is $4,000. Her
attorneys are A. A. Vosburg, W. S.
Hulslander. and A. d. Dean. Ex-Judge
w. II. Jessup and Horace L. Hand.
esq. represent the company.
Mrs. Lynch alleges that on Dec. 13,
1894, she boarded a Providence car in
the central city to go to her home. 1t
was in the evening after dark. and the
car was packed with passengers. When
the conductor collected the fare she
told him to let her off at Parker street.
He forgot 1t and the lurching of the car
going over the tracks at the Marvine
crossing impressed her that she was
carried beyond her destination and she
told him to stop and let her off. He
gave the motorman the signal to start
as she had one foot on the step and in
the act of placing the other on the
ground.
The car started and she was thrown
heavily to the ground, sustaining a
fractured rib and laceration of
the intercostal nerve, which has
made her permanent sufferer.
She asks damages in the sum of $40 900.

An Order Extending the House to- House

WASHINGTON, Dec 14-Postmas-
ter-General Wilson has issued an order
eXtendin gthe houseto- house collection
and delivery letter system so as to pro-
vide for the sale of postage and special
delivery stamps through oredrs to let
ter carriers on slips contained in a
unique official stamp selling envelope
to be furnished by the Postal Improve
ment company The order provides for
one of the most radical improvements
yet made in the postal system. 1t will be
tried in Washington at once and if found
practicable, extended generally. 1t af-
fords the conduct of ones business with
the postoffice at home, at least so far a
ordinary transactions are concerned,
and it is expected to largely increase the
stamp sales as soon as the system be-
comes general. The house o-house col
lection of mail by means of ingeniously
contrived boxes has already been adopt
ed and extended to twenty-five free de-

THE INDIAN WHEAT FAMINE
Is Vastly More Serious Than Has Been
Reported
Wheat Prices Rule Low in Europe.
Though the Crop Seems Certain
to Be Very Short.

LONDON, Dec 14.-The Calcutta Eng
lishman of November rs contends that
the home officials are utterly at fault
in regard to the dimensions of the fam
inc. 1t adds that practically every pro-
vince is involved and asserts that such
errors at the outset may result in ire
trievable disaster and suffering before
the crisis is over.
The Mark Lane Express in its crop re-
port today says: Spain has enjoyed an
extremely heavy rainfall since October
and the benefit to agriculture of that
arid peninsula is likely to be very great
Central Europe has seen a rapid rise
of temperature, aiNl rather heavy rain
fall.
Referring to the Indian outlook the
Mark Lane Express says: The Indian
rains are too late to allow of anything
like an average area of sown wheat for
1897
Commenting on the depression here,
the Mark Lane Express says: The
ket in damp, close weather accounts for
the depressed condition of the English
market, the downward tendency being
aided by the government crop estimate,
which, however, is generally regarded
as excessive.

MRS. CRAVEN'S DOCUMENTS
Are Pronounced Forgeries by the Pro-
fessionsl Experts
Which Expressions Do Not Surprise
the School Teachers Counsel a Lit
tie Bit-The Forger Not Known.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-The ver-
dict of EXPERTS Ames and Carvalho
that the deeds and other papers by
which Mrs. Craven seeks to esta blish
claim to al portion of the Fair estate
are forgeries is received with apparent
unconcern by those who have the school
teachers interests in charge. They
were prepared for such a result, they
say, and would have been very much
surprised had any other opinion been
returned.
The attorneys for the contract widow
say it is ridiculous to suppose that Mrs.
Craven forged the deeds she would have
left on the documents evidences of re-
tracing and erasures, or would have
used different pencils.
The attorneys for the Fair children
in return ask why the dead man should
have gone to the trouble of erasing or
retracing letters. while copying a sim
pie description of a piece Of property.
During the examination of the deeds
and pencil will Ames and Carvalho had
many samples of the handwriting of
Mrs. Craven, Miss Craven and Mrs.
Haskins In their hunt for the real for
ger they brought into suspicion woman
who has thus far never been heard of
be out of the city, and detectives have
been set to tracing the friendship be-
tween her and Mrs. Craven.

COMES IN FREE.
Tapioca Is Good Starch, But Pays No
Import Tax.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 14.-Judge
McKenna today rendered an adverse
decision to Collector Wise in the matter
of importations of tapioca, which the
collector had declared dutiable at starch.
Twenty-three Chinese importers ap
pealed from Wise's decision to the hoard
of general appraisers and the latter body
reversed the collector. Thereupon the
collector appealed the case to the United
States circuit court. Shirts and collars
were introduced as evidence to show
that the tapioca has been used as starch,
the linen having been made up with
it. Judge McKenna said that while this
might be possible. it did not show tina + it
was the intent to use the tapioca as
starch, and that he would SO decide. He
said that he thought it would be wise
to have the matter tested fully by a
further appeal to the United States cir
cult court of appeals.

Kohlsaat Wants No Cabinet Place-Talk
on Tariff.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-Mr H. H. Kohl
saat Of Chicago. who since the election
has been mentioned as possible mem
ber of the Mckinley cabinet, is in the
city. Mr.. Kohlsaat said that he is not
looking for a cabinet position and could
not accept such a place if it were offered
him.
"McKinley's administration" he said,
"will, in my judgment, be the most sue
cessful the country has ever had. I
have talked with Major Mckinley about
tariff revision. He is in sympathy with
the movement to frame moderate tar
iff bill this winter so that it may be ready
to introduce as soon as congress is called
together in extra session next spring.
1T is practically settled that an ex-
ira session of congress cannot be avoid
ed. I think the extra session will begin
before April and that new tariff law
will be on the statute books before July
