Strange Series of Disasters.

Arthur, Ill, June Gone boy drowned
little girl fatally injured beneath the
hoofs OF horses, two women and man
brought to deaths door by the shocks Of
the accidents, all incidents accompanying
the funeral Of a man who met with sud
den death, made Sunday remarkable
one in this city.
The strange chain Of disasters began
when the local G. A. R post buried G. p.
Wells, who was asphyxiated by gas in a
hotel Wednesday night. While the cere-
mony was in progress at the cemetery,
news reached Gus Baker that his l3-year-
old son had just been drowned while
swimming. The shock prostrated Mr..
Baker and he had to be taken home in a
carriage. When the news was broken to
his wife, she went frantic and became un-
conscious. Both are in q precarious con-
dition.
While the funeral procession was return
ing from the cemetery one OF the carriages
ran over Mrs. William Sullivan's little q
year-old daughter, mangliDg her in hor.
rible manner.
Miss o. L. Clark, witness to the latter
accident, tainted and was carried to the
nearest house, where she lay for four hour
before recovering sufficiently to be re
moved to her home.

Republic, Wash, June Good pro-

San Poll wagon road. There are several
miles Of il that can be Travelled with

constructed first. Plows and scrapers have
done the work 80 far. There will be very
little blasting necessary between Republic

deal of it that is over very rocky ground
and there is also a good deal Of slide rock
on the route.

WASHINGTON BOYS FOUGHT
Two Battalions Under Colonel Wolley
in the Fight-Rsbels Had n Strong
Position-Are Being Hemmed in-Ore-
gon Regiment Coming Home.

Manila, June 6.-Two battalions of the
Washington troops under Colonel Wholley
were landed under cover of well directed
fire from the gunboats Napidan and Cova-
donga. The rebels, who were mtrenched
in the outskirts of the town, reserved their
fire until the troops were ashore. The
American artillery opened fire on the in
surgents and drove them from their posi-
tions, killing nine of them and wounding
five. The Washington troops then took
the town, the rebels flying to the hills.
While the Americans were on their way
to Morong the insurgents opened fire from
a shore battery at Ancona, their first
shots striking the Oovadonga's awning aft
at a range of $500 yards. The Napidan
also was fired at.
In dispatching General Lawton to cap
ture Morong, Major General Otis is under
stood to have the purpose to destroy or
drive back the strong force of insurgents
which have been operating from that sec
ton against the Pasig river line. There
is no expectation here that Lawton's col
umn will go far from the rivers or dales
upon which supplies will be carried to
him.
The authorities appreciate the extreme
difficulties Of a campaign during the rainy
season, and all they expect is that the
American forces will make short incur
sions into the enemy's country, breaking
up any large organizations which may
establish themselves in the vicinity Of
Manila and especially near Laguna de
Bay.
1t is apparent from the line which Law
ton is following and the dispatch of the
Washington troops to Morong that it is
hoped to get the insurgents between that
pont, Taytay and Antipolo and the lake
hemmed in so they can be destroyed OF
captured.
Oregon Boys Start Home.
Washington, June 6.-General Otis ad
vises the war department that the Oregon
regiment will leave for the United States
this week. 1t will be sent direct to Port
land for muster-out at Vancouver bar
racks.
Dead From Disease.
General Otis reports the deaths at Ma
nila on the Goth of Private Lyman Kel-
sey, Co. D, Second Oregon, from suppura-
tive tonsilitis, and Private David L. Viii
liams, First Montana, from dysentery.

New York, June ga dispatch from
Hong Kong says:
The sultan OF Suluwawo it was supposed
was favombly disposed toward the United
States; now it turns out he has imported
a large quantity Of arms from Singapore
via Sandoken, with a view of resisting the
Americans. These arms he stored on the
island of Siasi and he is raising force
of sepoys at Singapore.
1t is believed that the decision Of the
sultan to fight the United States is the re-
suit of Bray's mission to Singapore in
April.

Certainty of a Fine Yield In Quantity

Advices from the Virginia tobacco dis

tobacco crop. which from planting to har-
vest time has had seasonable weather Cut
ting has begun and is progressing quite
rapidly under very favorable weather con-
ditions and so far the colors are all good,
and there is no fault TO find with either
quality. size, or texture.
Local hailstorms have done some dam
age The crop is entirely out of danger Of
the usual frost period. The manufacturing
grades are equally as good as the export
part Of the crop.
Sales of the dark crop viii begin early
in October. Exporters do not appear to be
uneasy concerning late shipments as there
has been in England a great deficiency in
suitable fine old stock, such as has been
lately shipped there, and it will be al least
nine months before the present crop will
be available there. Export manufacturers
are still doing a very fine business in vol
ume as well as in profit, having been busy
all the season.
Sales of new bright loose tobacco are in
creasing and still showing very good COL

trade is moderate, both sides hesitating
while the low price looms up on every

The feeling was rather more cheerful
this morning. The fact that weather re-
ports failed to show rain over the entire
South with the exception of light fall at
Vicksburg held sellers in check and en-
couraged buyers, as did better cables,
while an avalanche of receipts made little
impression. BY IL o'clock prices were up
8 to 8 points, due largely to Southern buy
ing. Cables were 132d higher for spots
and half up for futures, with spot sales OF
10, 600 bales. The market moved up until
10 to 13 points advance was shown at 2:15
D. m. There was an utter absence of news
calculated to influence prices, and the rise
was wholly ascribed to bidding up by lead
ing commission houses, who were permit
ted to have their own way. Receipts at
the ports were q, 900 bales, against 10 900

STEEL RAILS HARD TO GET.
Railroad Work Delayed by the

NEW YORK, Sept 6.-The scarcity Of
steel of different kinds which all summer
has delayed building operations all over
the country is now making trouble for rail-
road companies All the steel rail mills in
the United States are running. but they are
unable to supply the rails wanted, and
now scores of street railway companies
which began TO lay new tracks away last

I'VE need rails to lay on Broadway, Co

We cannot use electricity as motive power

"Steel rails began to get scarce shortly
after this country declared war with
Spain" continued Mr.. Vreeland. THE Gov
ernment had so much work 10 do that the
steel manufacturers were unable to do IL
unless other work was put by for the time
being and all concerns became choked
with orders Up to that time the capacity
of the rolling mills had not been severely
tested and agents of the various mills were
seeking work everywhere. They have gone
from that to a condition OF absolute lhde-
pendence, and when anyone has contract
for any of the manufacturers it is neces-
sary to send them word that bids are de-
sired Even then they do not respond at
once. and IL one does not like the terms
there is no way of getting around them
This is true of small contracts as well

only excuse offered is that it has been an
impossibility to complete the work, as the

It is stated that the incorporators, hav-
ing a proper regard for the opinions of
others and Christian love and fraternal
feeling for all mankind, deem it just when

people of all ages may understand why
they separate from all other congregations.
II is then set forth that throughout all
time God has given TO the world through
his prophets and messengers and his son
Jesus Christ, his will 10 mankind and has
left his laws as expressed in the Bible.
Last of all, 1t is added, God has discovered
10 us the scientific rule of metaphysical
healing, through his selected messenger
Mary Baker Eddy. who has given to the
world her knowledge in Science and
Health"
Therefore the incorporators announce
themselves as loyal sons and daughters OF
God and affirm TO the world their belief In
and adherence to the Holy Bible, and de-
clare Ii the law which shall govern daily
life.
Further. it is stated TO be the purpose
OF the association 10 own real and personal
property TO establish a printing business
/ to issue certificates of indebtedness in
sums of IS or multiples thereof TO the
