A PRINCE CoAiING.-Lenox and New
York are much agitated over the com-
ing visit of Prince Alexander George,
youngest son Of the Duke and Duchess
of Teck, who will be the guest at Len
OK of Mr.. and Mrs. Burrell-Hoffman.
The Prince is the brother in-law of the
Duke of York, who will be King Of
England if living when the Prince of
Wales dies. Already there is talk
among the match making members of
the 400 about the possible outcome of
the young nobleman's visit and the.
possibility of an American girl beoom.
ing the sister in law of the future king
of England. Unlimited speculation Is
INDUCED in as to the possible outcome
OF the young man's falling in love and
marrying some American girl, and
there are hints that there will be some
tall angling Whereabouts when the Prince
appears. His good qualities are all set
forth-eyen his age being given. He
is advertised as handsome, manly
chap, an athlete and sportsman. The
Prince will visit Philadelphia, Lenox
probably, Newport, and will make
hunting trip to the Rocky Mountains.
He is not very rich, 30 that a matri-
monisl alliance with some American
multi millionaire's daughter might be
mutually advantageous. The New
York newspapers are filed with stories
tending to show that Prince George is
q very desirable catch for Americans,
and containing intimations about the
tilneliness Of making preparations for
the reception OF the royal visitor.

The ACTING comptroller of the cur
rency says the last statement OF the na
tjonal banks shows that they have
MANY millions of dollars over the re-
ouired legal reserve and that there is
plenty of money in this country. No
body ever said there wasn't, but the
trouble is, it is locked up in bank
vaults, as those to whom it belongs can
find no profitable investment for 1t,
either in real estate or industrial enter
prises. Looked at rightly, the surplus OF
money in banks is proof of the de-
pressed condition of business.

Explosions.

MoNoNGAHELA, Pa. Sept. 4.-By an
explosion of nitro-glycerine early this
morning, two men and horse we're
killed, buggy completely demolished
and the bridge across the Monongahela
river so badly damaged that it will have
to be abandoned until repaired. Win
dows in the vicinity were broken and
the residents for q mile awakened by
the conclusion. IL is supposed that
the men had the glycerine in the buggy
and that sudden jar caused the ex-
plosion.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 1.-Two
frightful explosions of natural gas &C.
Cured in Broad Ripple, a suburb, six
miles north of here, this morning at 10
o'clock. Five are known to have been
killed and the seriously wounded will
number between 20 and 30. The bust
ness part of the town took fire and the
largest buildings were destroyed. The
city of Indianapolis was called on for
help and sent engines and doctors. The
first explosion occurred in ]. L. Watts's
drug store from unknown cause. Five
men were injured there and the build
ing was set on fire. Across the street
was the Odd Fellows hall, underneath
which was Pious Gresh's grocery store.
Seeing that the fire was spreading
Gresh and 20 men were removing his
stock of groceries when crushing ex-
plosion occurred in the building. The
walls were blown out and the upper
floor fell in on the men. Gresh and
Jacob Darling, painter, were taken
out dead. The others in the building
were badly injured, several of them
probably fatally. The fire spread from
the Odd Fellows hall and the drug
store ruins in every direction. Five
buildings were on fire at once and
were doomed before help could be at
tempted.

Blackford, chairman Of the Baltimore
