and then an acute attack. He appeared
in robust health the day previous to
his death.
Roswell Pettibone Flower was born
in Theresa, Jefferson county, N. Y.
August 7, 1885. Roswell was the
sixth son of nine children, and when
his father died he was eight years old.
He worked with his brothers on two
farms his mother owned, and spent his
time between school sessions in the
hardest kind of labor.
Mr.. Flower came to New York in
1869. Mr.. Flower always was a DEM
oerat. In the early seventies he
helped Samuel J. Tilden to develop
the famous organization which exposed
Tweed, and enjoyed many other tri-
umphs.
Good authorities estimate that Mr..
Flowers profits in the last eighteen
months in Wall street have exceeded
$4,000, 900. He has been during that
time the speculative leader in the
financial markets of the United States.

MARRYING A PAIR OF PIGEONS.
A Curious Ceremony Arranged by
Ruler in Bombay.

A Curious Ceremony Arranged by a
Ruler in Bombay.
A curious ceremony was that ar
ranged by one of the rulers or guicow-
ars of Banda, in Bombay. 1t was the
marriage of two pigeons.
The guicowar's costly eccentricities
are innumerable; every novelty struck
his fancy. One day diamonds were in
request, and his agents visited all the
jewelers. shops. Another time he had
a mania for pigeons, and collected
about 60, 900 in his palace, of all kinds
and plumage, and one day he arranged
q mock marriage and celebrated the
event with extravagant luxury.
The two pigeons, adorned with jew
eled collars and carried by pages, were
brought on the terrace roof of the pal
ace, which had been sumptuously
decorated for the occasion.
The king and courtiers, in gala at
tire, were ranged around the Brab-
minis, who recited vast number Of
hymns. A considerable sum was CIV
en- as a marriage portion to the two
birds, which sum was appropriated by
the priests. Dancing and grand
banquet concluded the festival. The
result, upon this particular occasion,
was unforseen-a large cat which was
an unlimited guest, taking advantage
of the confusion, ran off with the I'M
happy bridegroom, leaving the bride q
disconsolate widow.
A taste for bulbubs was another
fancy. More than 500 were brought
at one time to the palace, and their
care and education occupied the gui-
cowar and his courtiers for month or
more. The bulbubs are the nightin-
gales of India. Their plumage is
beautifully speckled, and on their
heads are tufts of waving feathers
which give the birds coQuetish and
saucy air.

Excursion Special Crashes Into an Ex-
press with Fearful Loss of Life.
Shortly before 10 o'clock Friday
night a collision of passenger trains
occurred on the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad at Exeter station,
six miles below reading. The express,
which left Reading for Philadelphia,
was behind the schedule time in leav'
ing, and stopped at Exeter for orders.
A special train from Harrisburg, bear
ing excursionists, who had attended
the Hartranft monument unwilling al
the capital, left twenty minutes later
than the express train and at Exeter,
while going at rapid rate of speed,
crashed into the express, causing Q
great loss of life. The number OF
dead is fully twenty-five and the in
jured fifty. The first train ploughed
through three cars of the forward
train, completely wrecking them. The
railroad officials offer no explanation
of the accident. Returning passen-
gers say the scenes around the wreck
are of the most fearful description.

Nebraska Regiment Wants Rest.

The First Nebraska volunteer in
fantry is taking the unusual step OF
requesting Maj Gen. Macarthur tc
temporarily relieve them from duty al
the front. The regiment is badly ex
hausted by the campaign, in which il
has taken an active part, and not
many more than 800 men of the or.
ganization are at present fit for duty.
On Sunday last 100 men of this regi'
ment responded to sick call. The
men, in view of the facts, have pre-
pared respectful memorial to Gen.
Macarthur, asking that their regiment
be withdrawn for short time from
the fighting line, in order that they
may recuperate. Since February 2
the regiment has lost 225 men il
killed and wounded, and fifty-nine
since the battle of Malolos.

While the semi-oflloial bridge and tunnel
controversy is in progress between men,
bers OF the city administration who are
agreed rs to the necessity Of enlarged
means OF communication between New
York and Brooklyn but are at variance as
to the form OF such improvement whether
by bridge span or tunnel excavation, scant
attention Is being shown to the more urgent
need Of better pavements. There were ON the
list OF January, 1899, 403 miles Of paved
streets In Manhattan, 53s in Brooklyn, 81
in The Bronx. 43s In Queens; total Of
400 miles and go miles unpaved, exclu-
sive OF territory not graded and opened TO
traffic and exclusive OF the borough OF Rich
mond. On the list Of January 80 per cent.
of the travelled streets within the Greater
New York were unpaved and like per-
ccntage, chiefly In Brooklyn, were paved
with cobblestone, gravel or brick.
The report OF the Commissioner OF High
ways for the three months OF July, August
and September, now at hand. shows the
part OF the paving work done during the
period possible for such work to be almost
imperccptible In amount. These are the
figures for new pavements laid Manhattan
I.3i miles; In The Bronx, 4.e7; Brooklyn.
277: and In the borough OF Queens, 1. 76:
a total OF less than eleven miles OF new
pavements In year, total by no means
commensurate with the increased demands
OF traffic, the enlargement OF business, the
increase in population and the expectations
of city taxpayers generally.

Chatham Island.

Chatham Island, the easternmost OF the
Galapagos group, for which this Govern
ment is negotiating with Ecuador, was
bought cheap some time ago by single
man: but Chatham Is just about as large as
Staten Island, the fifth In size In the group
and il the on y settled island In the archi-
pclago. FIVE years ago $50 persons lived
there. but at last accounts many OF tho
colonists had wearled Of the isolation and
returned to the mainland.
II wou d undoubtedly be to our advan-
tage TO have coaling station there. II is
nearly 700 miles from the mainland. 5000
miles rom our nearest territory ut San
Diego, 1000 miles from Honolulu and over
5000 miles from our coaling station at
Pago-Pago. These distances show the geo
graphical relation between Chatham Island
and the nearest points where our warships
or merchant marine can now coal In our
own ports. But the convenience 1t offers
will he much enhanced when the canal Is
cut between the oceans, for the island will
be directly on the route between the canal
aud the South Pacific and Australia and
within easy reach Of all our vessels In the
South American west coast trade.
The Galapagos Islands are the most neg
lected in the Pacific, though they are
healthful, fertile and capable OF supporting
n large population. They have not been
turned to good account simply because
they belong to little republic with no
money to spare for colonial enterprise.

The Italians In EPYnt

The report that Italian troops are TO re-
lleve the British battalions in the garrisons
in Egypt, in order to allow the latter to
proceed to South Africa, Is too startling
to be believed without confirmation. II
implies an understanding between Italy
and England, and. indirectly, through
Italy. between England and the Triple
Alliance, Of a much more far-reaching
nature than has been generally supposed.
1t reveals, too. an unexpected weakness
In Englands military position in the Medl.
terranean, which will be noted by other
powers. One Of the first who NAV be
expected to protest against such disturb
ance OF the existing condition Of things in
Egypt is assuredly the Khcdives tltular
suzerain, the Sultan OF Turkey, and his
protest would probably have the support of
France and Russia.
The position OF England in Egypt has
| never been regularized by any formal Eu-
| ropean congress or convent ION; it has been
tolerated, the khedive and his Government
being the officially recognized authority in
the country. The assumption of q right To
transfer the military control OF Egypt to
another state is another matter, and could
hardly be made unless IL has been sane
toned blythe other members of the Triple
Alliance, which remains to be proved. To
the Sultan o! Turkey such transfer of
military occupation OF what he still claims
to be Nassal State would be offensive in
the highest degree, and especially when
Italy is concerned. whose pretenslons ia
