Cincinnati Friday night was cut short
in its performance by tragic realiza.

city.
The house was fairly well filed. A
little before $3.50 o'clock, without
warning and with crash, the great
central truss OF the ceiling, eighty feet
long and thirty feet wide, came plung-
ing down. The ends of it struck on
the two gallery wings and doubled il
up in the center, sending it down into
the parquet with q great scattering Of
joists and timbers.
Pandemonium reigned. The news
spread rapidly and there was rush Of
patrol wagons and of hremen to the
scene. The salvage corps with its
wagon was first on the ground and it
was followed by oil the police patrol
wagons, who carried the injured to
the Cincinnati hospital.
The list at the hospital showed three
dead, five dangerously, il not fatally

DISPUTE OYER BOUNDARY.
Maryland and virginia Have Dihicuity
On Their Hands.

A Richmond dispatch says: Cover
nor Lowndes, of Maryland has inform
ed Governor O'Ferrall that in his
opinion it is necessary to have the
boundary line between Maryland and
Virginia in the Pocomoke sound and
river established and that he himself
will have the matter attended to.
The matter referred to has been re-
peatedly Investigated by both the
states concerned and Virginia has ID
ways taken the ground that the pres
eut boundary line is the one laid down
by the Black and Jenkins award. Four
years ago the legislature Of both states
appointed special commissioners, who
went over the ground very carefully
and the Virginia committee afterward
reported in favor OF retaining the ex-
listing boundary line.
The Maryland people declined to
accept this line.

Assassinations Follow Ono Another In
swift Succession.
A special from Selma, Ala, says:
lawlessness runs rampant near Rich
mond, in the southern end of this
county. Several months since West
Ethridge rode up behind Allie Cole
man, a wealthy farmer, and blew the
top of his head off with a doublc-barrel
shot gun. He has managed to elude
arrest.
Later Barrett Duckworth, Coleman's
body servant, was assassinated in his
house, and public opinion laid the
crime at Ethridge's hands.
A month ago Shelley sumner,
nephew of Ethridge, was killed by
Charles Nelson, relative OF Duck
worth.
Last Wednesday night Frank Banks,
a cousin of Nelson, was shot down from
the darkness. while standing in the
door of his home.
All Of the murders are thought TIC
have grown out of the Ethridge-Cole-
man killing. Not an arrest has SO far
been made, although officers have
male repeated raids.

Assistant Chief Alexander Scott Of
tho division of drafting OF the Patent
Oflico has an interesting list of the
patents granted to women inventors of
the United States, compiled from 1870
to January /, 1895. Up to that period
there had been issued j3l, 6l8 patents
to all persons, the number of women
included being surprisingly large, The
articles on which tho patents have
been granted comprise everything in
tho patcntablc line, from curling iron
to q cooking stove, and from a war
vessel TO handsaw. While many OF
tho patents are no objects of peculiar
interest to women, many of them are
on scientific machines, objects OF war
fare, miners utensils and things which
would DO only useful to the male por-
ton of humanity. OF course, the baby
has not been forgotten, and the articles
patented TO make the "mother's Joy"
moro comfortable and contcnted form
u department all to themselves. Col
lar buttons have been invented by
wives, mothers and sweethoarts. Evil
dcutly this was done to ease the mas
culine mind or prevent the accustomed,
or, at least accredited, profanity
which is supposed to flow when one OF
the buttons becomes detached from a
garment and rolls somewhere out Of
reach or "cannot possibly be found. !"
ave have found" said Mr., Scott to
the Star reporter, that the objects
patented by women arc of just rs prac-
ticable nature as those gotten out by
the men. Very often it happens that
men invent an object which is of in
terest exclusively to womankind, as q
new style OF hair fzer, but the reverse
is often the case. 1t frequently hap
pens that woman will suggest some
thing TO her husband, or some male
member Of the family, who acts upor
il, taking out the patent aud getting
credit for it, Of course, fully with TIT
consent OF the one suggesting the idea
Any one who thinks that woman il
incapable OF inventing anything reall,
useful is making great mistake, as
Look over the list OF the thousands O
objects will testify. Some Of the mos
important things in use nowaday
have been invented by women an
I,roueht into general use by them"

THE PHYSICIANS ARE NONPLUSSED.
Twenty Nine New Cases For the Day-A
Tabulated Record OF
Infected Cities.

Wednesday was the record smasher
in the number Of deaths in n single
day from yellow fever since the sick
ness was first reported in New Or
leans. II is difficult to find the cause
except in the fact that concealment,
neglect and rebellion against the
authority of the board Of health have
made it difficult for the best physi-
clans to give proper attention to cases.
At 7 o'clock Wednesday evening
there had been nine fatalities reported
during twenty.four hours. Hereto
fore the highest number of deaths in
any one day has been six
At the board of health meeting there
was some discussion among the gath
cred physicians as to whether the dis
ease had assumed suddenly more
virulent form or whether an aggrega-
ton Of circumstances had sent up the
list OF deaths. Prominent doctors say
they do not believe the disease has be-
come malignant in type. They believe
that the fact that on some days there
have been four or five deaths, on sue
ceeding days no deaths, and then four
or five again, goes to prove that the
fever has been as eccentric before as it
is now.

Seven new cases in the city proper

No new cases were reported as sus-
picous in Galveston Wednesday and
there were no deaths from yellow

pi2ious are dismissed by the doctors,

resolution calling upon Surgeon Gen

General Lew Wallace and Rev. Or.

DepGuw University, have raised q
storm of protests because of highland.
ed criticisms of the wheel. During
the reception of a welldrilled COM
mandery at Charlottesville, and while
General Wallace was making the well
coming address, he claimed that the
best appearing men were those who
had received military training, and
he took occasion to deprocate the use
of bicycles, saying that the riders
looked moro like monkeys than men,
and that bicycling was time wasted. 1t
remained, however, for DIR. Hickman
TO como ont flatfooted in donouncing
the use Of bicycles for women, He
declares that it is one of tho most
baneful agencies ever invented in 80
far as it concerns tho gcntlcr sex. 1t
takes the young woman from her home
and home duties; its tendencies arc
altogether wrong. He also asserts that
it affords means Of easy escape from
the restrictions Of convcntionality,
and is harmful from a hygienic stand.
