Saved by a Clever Ruse.

Chicago, Sept. ga religious mono

ed to the top of $50 foot smokestack

ierday, aud stood singing and praying,
preparatory to taking the leap which
would land him 10 heaven. In few
minutes the man would have jumped
from the chimney, but while he tarrled
to pray and sing, fellow laborer nam
ed John Sonslskl climbed to were he
stood, and by clever ruse saved his life.
All who wi messed the rescue feared
that there would be struggle and tina
both men would be killed. Folaski
warned his friend to keep away, and
exclaimed: my time has come; | am
going TO heaven" After a short psrley
Sonalski said to Folaski, that in order
to reach heaven he would have to pass
through FIRE and water and he urged
him to descend with him and submit to
the fire and water test. So Sonslski's
ruse succeeded and the man followed
him down the ladder. When they
reached the bottom Folaski was set ny
on and overpowered.

FROM WASHINGTON.

Correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette. ]
Washington, September 81.
The Census Bureau has lost track OF
one Of its travelling special agents, Mr..
William l.. SpauldiDg OF Washington,
DC. who was last heard from at Racine,
Wisconsin, on Sept. II. During the
interval ne was assigned to Grand
Rapids, Mich, aud under his instruc-
tions should have made daily reports
during the ten days which have since
elapsed. At the Census Office it is
feared that some accident has befalleu
him. The bureau today announced
the population of the following cities:
Memphis, Tenn, 102 800 an increase of
37,S25 or $3.50 per cent since 1890
Houston, Tex Al 633 an increase of
II, 076 or 81 81 per cent.
People from the Valley of Virginia
here today say the apple crop OF that
region has been failure this season,
which is a serious misfortune 10 the
farmers of that section, as, for the last
few years, they have managed to lay
up few dollars by the sale of that
crop.
Several Virginians left here this
morning for Gainesville, Virginia,
where a Bryan and Stevenson flag was
raised today. Among them we're Mr..
Andrew Lipscomb, who spoke there,
and Nj. r. n. Harper, who presided
at the meeting. Passengers by the
Manassas train that passed there this
morning say all the roads leading to
that place were crowded with people
on their way there.
The report that was circulated here
three or four days ago to the effect
that Archbishop Ireland had turned
against Mr.. Mckinley, is said today to
be disproved by the fact that when the
archbishop was decorated in Paris yes
terday with the ribbon of the legion of
honor, the U. s. Ambassador there. and
theU. >. minister to Spain were present
to witness the ceremony, which would
not have been the case il be were not a
true supporter OF Mr.. Mckinley.
The impression has become current
in the foreign press, especially In the
German newspapers, that the ipstrnc-
tons to be sent to Minister Ooneer will
authorize him to act as a mediator be-
tween China and the powers, and al.
ready sarcastic queries have been made
as to who authorized him to
act 10 such capacity. 1t is said at the
State Department here that Conger
acts for his own country alone. His
purpose during the preliminary Degoti-
atioDs he is to undertake will be to sub.
nit to the Chinese representatives the
views and purposes OF the United States
government and to obtain those of Chi
ma upon the questions involved. 1t is

THE CHINESE TROUBLES,


1t is stated ir diplomatic quarters that
definite and official information had
been received that Prince Tuan has
been appointed president OF the privy
council OF China. and that number of
other Chinese officials prominent 10 the
recent uprising have been similarly hon.
ored.
1t was stated 10 Berlin that Lord
Salisbury had asked for few days to
consider the matter before replying to
the German note. There was certain
information that Lord Salisbury desired
to secure before replying.
1t is not believed in well.informed
circles in London that Count Valdez
see would present an ultimatum to the
Chinese government demanding the
surrender of the five anti-foreign lead.
ers.
10 Washington it is believed that
Emperor William Is determined to
force a war upen China, and if the 9TH
er powers will not consent Germany
will undertake it alone.
The German transport Gera and
three German torpedo boats have ar.
rived at Hong Kong. They reported
piracy and brigandage increasing in the
West river.
Lord Salisbury, it is confidently ss.
serted, will not back up Germany in
her demand for the surrender of the
leaders of the anti. foreign atrocities.
General Chaffee reported that he had
started from Pekiu for Tientsin, leav.
ing guard for the American legation
in the Chinese capital.
Italy and Austria are the only pow
ers that have replied fsvorably and un-
conditionally to Germany's note.

Shanghai, Sept. 27.-The prospect OIL
an alarming famine in north China as q
result OF the hostilities which have de-

The Chinese hereabouts are preparing
to send huge quantities OF rice to the

tape objections. There is a strong feel
ing here that the U0ited States should
cooperate with the powers 10 the pun

THE goldite democrats who prefer

that the fact that the rich men of this
country are investing their gold in
foreign securities, at cheaper rates than
they can get for it at home, is not con-
elusive proof that prosperity prevails
