AS if to vindicate its claims of being
the unluckiest day in the week, last Fri
day broke all records in the number Of
accidents which occurred on that day.
While no body was killed, several per-
sons were injured and many mishaps
will make the day memorable to many.
Some OF the owners OF speedy road
sters were out trying the mettle OF their
respective steeds on Friday evening.
They were coming down the street at a
Ro bert ] gait, the fire well punched
with Alex. Bens,n's speedy colt in the
lead, when suddenly Alex. slackened his
speed, but the momentum of his follow
ers was too great and they flew right
along, with the exception of one whose
horse and cart stopped but the driver.

equal the heigth and graceful descent to
the level ultimately reached bv all human
mortals, that his illustrious namesake
did upon this occasion.

WATER SUPPLY Cut Off
Insurgents Use Dynamite at
Havana With Dire Results
to the City.
Two Bridges Partly Destroyed
and Great CONSERVATION
Prevailed.
Food Poor and insufficient,
Causing Sickness and
Suffering.

HAVANA, June 15.-This city was
startled at 9 p. m. by the noise Of two
successive explosions which were heard
for several miles. CONSERVATION pre-
vailed for time, as it was feared that
this was prelude to an attack or a
series of similar explosions. Excited
throngs rushed to the streets, while an
armed party proceeded in the direction
from which detonatiOns had been
heard. 1t was soon found that the
stone bridges of Cristina and Concha
and the aqueduct Of Fernando Septino
were the points that had suffered from
the dynamite. The bridges were par
italy destroyed, and the pipes on the
aqueduct, upon which the city is de-
pendent for its water supply, were
much damaged. 1t cannot yet be stated
how extensive is the damage done or
how long it will require to remedy it.
The windows in many houses in the
city were shattered by the reverbera-
ton of the explosion. There is no doubt
that the dynamite which caused this
wreck was
FlaceO Dy AgenCS OF the Insurgents
It has been their determination, an
nounced some time since, to cut off the
water supply of Havana and so serve to
make it as nearly uninhabitable as posi-
BILE. The greatest apprehension is felt
on account of the secrecy and effective
ness with which the insurgents have
been able to carry out the outrage. It
is believed that the insurgents are bent
upon investing Havana by cutting off
as much as possible the supply of
necessities, though not by actually be-
sieging it. All fruits, vegetables and
fresh meats are unprecedently high
priced and difficult to obtain. Many
are suffering from measles and there is
much intestinal trouble among the in
habitants owing to poor and insufficient
food. The failure of the water supply
under these conditions is dire Ca
lamity.

RIGHTS OF NAPOLEoNs.

Only Such as They Hold From the People,
Says Prince Victor.
PARIS, June 15.-Parts of letter
from Prince Victor Napoleon to General
Dubarail have been published. They
are as follows:
"You call my attention to newspaper
articles speaking of imaginary negotia-
tons carried on with the object of in
ducing me to abandon my rights. The
Napoleons have no rights, except those
they hold from the people, and these
people alone can invalidate those rights.
As the report of great cause, shall
never abdicate the duty which my name
imposes. We can patiently support
misfortune, and am one of those who
face resOlutely necessity.

They Hope to Put Dom Pedros Daughter

Rio JANEIRO, May Indications
are shown Of the growth of the Mon

the Monarchists that the daughter Of
Dom Pedro II, Isabel, Countess D'Eque,
will ascend the throne as Empress
Isabel I.
It is reported on good authority that
the Monarchial party, before attempt
ing stroke in Rio Janeiro, aims first to
secure one of the states of the fedora
ton in which to establish headquarters.
The Monarchists confess to manifesto
published on May 13, anniversary day
of abolition Of slavery in Brazil by Dom
Pedro II, that Donna Isabel has abso-

movement, land will only put the
crown upon her head on that day on
which she will be called back by her

to insure family against any serious
consequences from an attack of bowel

many who would feel it their duty to

for such an amount. Any one can get
this insurance for Is cents, that being

Eye Poultices.

Do not poultice an eye under any cir cumstances whatever. Binding a wet application over an eye for several hours must damage that eye, the assertions of those protesting to have personal expert ence in this to the contrary notwith- standing. The failure to agaravate an existing trouble by binding moist ap- plication over an infiamed eye, which application is supposed to remain for an entire night, can only be explained by the supposition that a guardian angel has watched over that misguided case and has displaced the poultice before it had got in its fine work. All oculists condemn the poultice absolutely in ev- cry shape and in every form. Tea leaves bread and milk. raw oysters, scraped beef, scraped raw turnip or raw potato and the medley of disgusting domestic remedies popularly recommended are, one and all, capable of producing ire mediable damage to the integrity of the tissues of the visual organ New York Ledger.
