THE WORLDS GOLD.
United states, Formerly Mt the Head,
Now Takes Third Place.

WASHINGTON, Aug 5.-The direct
or of the mint has nearly completed his
estimate of the worlds gold production
for the year 1893 The data at hand
seems to warrant the conclusion that the
production will amount to at least S294,-
600, 900 and possibly $295, 100000. Africa
leads all other countries with $50, 300, 900.
with Australia second with $6I 100000
and the United States third with SG4,-
463. 900. Russia is credited with S2o,-
100000, Mexico with $1O.0O0.0OO and
Canada, including the Klondikc, with
S14,O0O.000.
In 1897 Africa produced $5S,3OG,OOO,
with the United States second with S5o,-
363. 900 and Australia third with So4,-
64S,00O. Russia fourth with S23, ,2lo.0 900,
Mexico fifth with S9,436,0O0 and Can
ada, including the Klondike, sixth with
$6,021 COO. The total was S23 ,oO5,O 600.
OF the S14 10000 credited to Canada in
1898 about $l0.0OO.00O came out of the
klondike. and in the estimate of the pro-
duction of the United States during the
last year S2.524, 900 came from Alaska.
In 1896 and for nearly 80 years pre-
viously the United States occupied the
first place in the worlds production of
gold. In that year the output of the
world was estimated at $202, ,6S2, 900.
These figures are subject to revision in
making up the final estimate, but are
believed TO be approximately correct.

SANTIAGO, Cuba. Aug. 9.--The Brit
ish steamer Sutherland Captain Percy
Nibbs. from Philadelphia July 20, which
has arrived here from Havana, from
which port she sailed on Sunday, brough
two cases of yellow fever.
1t Is believed that Captain Nibbs is dy-
ing. He was i'll two days before leaving
Havana. Two other eases are suspected
in the ships company. The Sutherland
received only perfunctory examination
before leaving Havana, and she will be
held here until all danger is past The
crew and the ship will be subjected to the
disinfcctng process.
The American authorities are having
no trouble with the large number of Gu
ban soldiers now in the city to receive
payment. The merchants are doing an
excellent business. The restrictions
against drinking prevent disorder.
No new cases of fever We're officially
reported yesterday in the city, and none
has developed among the American
troops within the last ten days. The local
Cuban physicians praise the effective
methods of the military governor, Cen

have done as well If they had tried, but
that the latter were too lazy.

Asks the Powers to Recognize FIJI
ipino independence.
MANILA, Aug. 9.-Aguinaldo has ap-
pealed to the powers for the recognition
of "Filipino independence" in IA docu-
ment dated from Tarlac, July p, and
signed by Buencamino.
1t has been received by all the foreign
consuls in Manila, with the request that
they forward it to their respective gov
ernments.
The Filipinos use their old argument
that they had conquered the sovereignty
of these islands from Spain before the
signing of the treaty of Paris, and there
fore Spain was in no position to cede
them to the United States. They argue
that the possession of 1000 Spanish pris-
oners, captured with their arms lighting
against the Filipinos, "is eloquent proof
of the nullity OF Spanish sovereignty, as
when they surrendered Spains hold was
irrevocably lost
The F'ilipinos claim that they conquer
ed all the country except Manila, and
that they co-operated in securing the lat
ter's capitulation by surrounding it al
the cost of thousands Of lives. They also
claim they conquered the country unas
sisted, except for GO guns that Admira
Dewey gave Aguinaldo, and that Admi
raj Dewey and the British and Belgian
consuls recognized the Filipinos' sover

TALKS BY THE WAY.

Speaking to wo'nan's conven-
ton, the Governor of Colorado re-
marked "When the Israelites
were broken with dissension, God
gave a woman to judge them. De-
borah ruled them for forty years
and, the Bible adds, then they had
a rest. I have never peen clear
whether the rest came as a result
of her rule, or because her reign
was ended"
A man in Missouri, who was too
stingy to buy paper sent his young
boy to neighbor's to borrow one.
AS the boy was going home he fell
down and broke his leg. The neigh
Dor heard his cries and ran out to
him, but slipped and fell, dlslocat-
ing his knee and tearing the bosom
out of his ten dollar pantaloons.
His wife ran to his assistance, leav-
ing two year old baby on the floor.
The baby crawled out and fell down
the well, and while the mother was
fishing for the child the house
caught on fire and was totally des-
troyed. Moral: 1t never pays,
besides it's dangerous to borrow e
paper.
After all what is known as high
er education" which means to be
student of science, to be mas
ter of several dead languages, fam
iliar with the best literature ant
skilled in mathmetics, is not th'
highest education. The education
which is most exalted, and withou
which no man can secure and retail
the love and esteem of his iellowme'
is that which is learned at the kne
of his good mother. 1t is to b
honest, truthful, courageous, patr
otic, industrious and kind. Th

have escaped unharmed. 1t Is believed
that there were 43 passengers on the car,
but the Indicator was removed by con-

The scene of the accident is midway
between Shelton and Bridgeport. The

John Carroll of Bridgeport, who was
among the killed, and Motorman Hamil-
ton OF Bridgeport He escaped by jump

The trestle is 44O feet long, made of
iron. with stone foundations, and was not
protected by any guard rails. South OF
the trestle is quite au incline, on which
the car ran down at q very fast rate OF
speed After it ran on to the trestle for
about ten feet the trucks left the rails,
and then the car continued on the ties
for about 10 feet, when it went off the
trestle and dropped into the pond below,
overturning completely and up ending.
When the car struck, the motor, which
weighed four tons, and the heavy trucks
crashed into it, instantly killing many OF
the passengers.
Drs. J. c. Lynch, r. W. lyors and j.
Nj. Johnson of Bridgeport, who were pas
sengers on n ear n Snort distance behind,
were quickly at the scene and rendered
all possible assistance to the injured.
Word was quickly sent to Bridgeport,
and three ambulances and police wag-
on were hurried to the scene and the in
iured were taken to the Bridgeport Gen
eral hospital. A number of other convey
ances were also pressed into service tc

short time % bodies were laid out await

The accident was witnessed by Mis-
Frances Peck. who resides about 4Ot
feet from the bridge. She was up stairs
at her home as the car was passing, ant
she claims that it was running at mn unu
sually high rate of speed. Frank Ora
mer, who was bathing near the bridge
states that the passengers were all sing
ing and in the most joyful mood as tn
car passed near him.
The road, which is practically CONTROL
