U. S. TRooPs.-About 800 members
OF the Third and Fourth U. S. cavalry
passed through this city last night from
Tampa, via the Southern Railway
They stopped at St. Asaph, where they
will remain for four days. MIR. j. NJ
Hill, owner of the place, is doing all 10
his power to make the men as comfort
able as possible. If St. Asaph becomes
too crowded Mr.. Hill will probably
make arrangements for quartering some
of the men in this city. So far as learn
ed the officers vino came here yesterday
to look at the Brsddock House and old
Shoe Factory building made no definite
arrangements for securing accommoda-
tons at those buildings for the troops.
To-day Secretary Alger telegraphed
the officers in command of the troops
which arrived at St. Aseph TO immedi-
ately take the Cars and proceed north.
Everything was in confusion in the
hurry to get ready when another tele-
gram came from Secretary Alger re-
scinding his former order and directing
the men to remain at st. Asaph four
days. More cavalry troops passed
through this city this morning going
north.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED


By local applications, as they cannot reacf
the diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutionsl remedies Deafness is caused By
an inhamed condition of the mucous lining
of the custodian tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound, or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the intlam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but
an inflsmed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

RESCUED FROM THE RAGING WATERS
A novel sight was exhibited yesterday
evening on the western edge of the city.
Hoofi,s run had come inside of the cor:
poration and its waters for some dis.
lance almost Tapped the west side of
Peyton street, near the Stone bridge,
where the valley grew deeper, and the
water became torrent, The Good had
eugulfed in the back yards of some of
the residents mass of pig pens. The
occupants squealed Justify for help and
it was novel sight to see the colored
men wadiug in the water to their waists
to save their bacon for next winter.
Two lines were formed on the shore ex-
tending into the flood, one line with
hands Joined keeping the workers who
were rescuipg the pigs from beng
swept off by the rapid current which
dashed into the arch of the bridge st
Duke street. The salvage men speededl
their work and score or more OF
s1uealing pork ars were brought to ter
rs firms. All the neighborhood gather,
ed despite the downpour and 1t VIII
probably need several days to dry that
section OF the city.

BRIDGES CARRIED AWAY. The
foundations of the iron bridge over
Cameron run, near Pulman's, were
undermined by the high water caused
by the heavy rains of yesterday even
ing, and this morning caved in, causing
the structure to fall into the swollen
run. A wagon containing Mrs. Bolden
and col red boy was on the bridge
at the time and all were precipitated
into the water. With much difficulty
the team was gotten out, but
the contents OF the wagon, consisting
of vegetables and country produce,
were lost.
Among the wagon bridges in the
neighborhood which were carrie d away
by the high water caused by the heavy
rainialls were those of the Seminary
crossing at Nauck station, Humes
bridge in the county, Accotink bridge
on the Telegraph road in Fairfax and
numbers of Others.
During the heavy rain last night the
water in the stream near Mt. Vernon
avenue in the county near MIR. Frank
Hume's farm became very high and
did much damage in that neighbor-
hood. The house of Mr.. 40. Travers,
at Cyclers' r st, was damaged and a
number of chickens were drowned.
Mr.. Travers waded in the water almost
up to his chin TO rescue his hogs.

OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
The matter of preparation for a possible
war with Spain is not the most important
matter now before the country. Back of
it there is Il far larger and far more inn
portant question. Recent events haze
demonstrated that this country can never
keep itself free from the risk of war no
matter how disCrcctly and justly it con-
ducts itself towards other nations; that
no more than the rest of the world will
the United States be allowed by other ma
tions and by events to decide for itself
the question of peace or war. Recent
events have also demonstrated that this
nation, with all its wealth and innate
strength, must scdulously and anXiously
hustle to get Itself in a position to meet
even on tolcrably equal terms one of the
weakest nations of Europe in a state of
unusual exhaustion Tho glare of the
Maine explosion has revealed 90 us. as ly
a lightning flash. the ridiculous, humiliat-
ing ana perilous position in which we
have so long bindly and recklcssly rested
TO get out Of this position instantly. to SO
provide for the cvor-present contingency
| of war as to minimize the risk of war, is
the duty that lies nearest to this nation.
| That is the one great. vital matter TO
| which congress should now subordinate
every other present question as soon as it
| has made such immediate preparations
as are now possible for the imminent
sliirmish with Spain.

Must Be Probsd to the Bottom.

The governor of South Carolina has
offered a reward of $500 for the detec-
tiOn of the criminals who recently mur-
dcred the negro postmaster at Lake
City in that state and sought to Gre
mate his wife and child. That the offer
was made in "A perfunctory manner and
did not signify an inheXible determina-
tion un The executives uart to bring
these assassins to Justice at any cost
seems tu be beyond doubt The Charles
ton News and Couriel, Democratic
.,aper in touch with Southern senti-
ment, says of it;
We accept the governors offer Of a re-
ward OF $500 for the apprehension and
conviction Of the members of the Lake
city mob as indicating in some measure
the gree Of the ulfcnse in his eyes. It
is inadequate to the purpose i'm view. The
reports agree that there were several
hundred men in the mob ana the goVcr-
nOr's offer amounts 10 something over Il
dollar a head, and we doubt that the rp-
ward would be worth the risk And even
If all the members of the mob should be
apprehendrd il would be idle to look for
their conviction in the state courts. The
only hope of the outraged law i'm this
case is i'm the United states courts,
where the trial would be free from local
political Influences and that is where
the mob should ho tried.
Secretary Long said on Tuesday that
the cabinet ON that day had devoted
less Time to consideration Of the Maine
affair than to consideration of the Lake
City tragedy. This is good news. The
Maine investigation is i'm safe hands
II can be let alone for "A time without
risk to any national interest But the
plotted murder Of an officer of the gov
eminent by an organized mob of his
tcllow-citizens, not on account of any
pruvOcation which he had given in
word or deed, but simply for the rea
son that his skin was black while the
skin Of his assassins was white-this
seems 10 be a crime of such hideous
and formidable proportions that the
federal government must run its per.
petrators To earth and bring them tC
Justice If II takes the nations last man
and last dollar.
IL is more than personal murder
1t is in principle an act Of insurreetion

MILLIONS OF BIBLES.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
The circulation of the Bible i'm this
country is enormous, steady, and con-
Stantly increases. OF Bibles and Testa-
mentS the American Bible society annual
ly sells or gives away about 200. the
International Bible agency sells about
500, 000 and other large concerns, of which
there are four or five in New York alone,
circulate a great many more. With such
distribution as that in constant operation
one would think the demand would pres
emily he supplied but that is not the eX-
pcricnce of dealers. They say the demand
Increases all the time. That must be be-
cause 1000, 900 or 5000 900 new citizens are
born every year in the United States, and
n large proportion of them presently get
new Bibles. The idea of starting new
citizen in life with Il secondhand Bible is
not popular. New boy tor new girD, new
book" is the rule. and tolerably fortu-
nate children have a fair collection before
they have grown up. A moderate allow
anCc of the sacred writings for one Amer
ican citizen includes one family Bible that
belongs to the parents; one family Bible
for ones own family; one Testament in
large print used in childhood: one con-
venient Bible presented by mother: one
tanned; at least one obsolete Bible con-
tanning the Apocrypha; one Testament,
revised version; the Book of Psalms sepa-
rate; a few Bibles to be kept in church
an Office Bible; ana perhaps others.

exporters OF these commodities that pro-
duction has been greatly stimulated.
In 1896 our exports of iron and steel
amounted In value to S4s,709,23i; in 1897 TO
S02, 762 2g9. Our imports of Iron and steer
In 1896 amounted to S2O,543.4gi and IN
1897 to sl4,5li, ,S62. Thus II appears that
the excess of exports over imports OF
iron and steel In 1897 amounted in value
TO SiS2i7,4H as compared with S2S, S,l65,bio
In 1896. The gain ia exports is nearly
30 per cent. In one year, and the decline
in imports is about the same. our ex-
ports of pig iron increased from 62.Ol
tons in 1896 to 262. .GS6 tons in 1897, and OF
steel rails from 1921 tons In 1896 to l4S,-
1870 tons in 1897. During the same period
the importation OF steel rails declined
from 1896 tons to il5 tons. The value Of
locomotives and sewing machines export
ed last year exceeded $3O0OO0O for each
class; of metal working machinery sent
abroad. over $2.000.00O; of pumps nearly
S,OOO,O00; of typewriters. over Sl.5W,0Oo.
and of other machines. over $4,000 600
o. bCilders' hardware we exported over
sG,O)D,OW worth; of pipes and fittings. over
" 600 900; Of boilers, over s6O0,o0; of shoe
making machinery, over 100000: of
scales and balances, over 100000, and Of
stoves and ranges n quantity of equal
Ntlue.
o
IT is not possible briefly TO enumerate
more than a small number of manufac-
tured articles which have contributed to
swell the total of our exports. II is now
conceded by all who are conversant with
the facts that this country has entered
upon a new career of prosperity largely
due to its ability to manufacture better
goods at lower prices than any other
country in the world

A Great Railroad.

Mt only its $4,000 stock holders but
also all other American citizens ought
to be Interested i'm the results achieved
by the management Of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad company the largest
corporation in the world and, in the
opinion of many, the "whitest." From
the recently published annual report it
Is possible TO learn some facts concern
ing the cOmpany's business in 1897 and
as its business is a barometer of the
state of trade in general the figures are
doubly significant.
The company's gross earnings in 1897
were SIPS, 27S,OOO, an increase Of 81. 4.GOO,-
900 over tile previous year. The oper-
ating expenses were SS7 900, 900, and the
net earnings therefore S4O,637, ,OOO, the
latter a gain of $5.325,1l6 over 1896. This
is the largest increase in net earnings
made by any railroad in the United
