Ex-postmaster in Trouble.

W. w. Brownfeld, until about a year ago postmaster at Grannis, Polk county, was arrested last week at Anaconda, Mo-, charged with embez- clement. Brownfeld is under in- dictment in the western district of Arkansas, and will shortly be taken to Fort Smith where his trial is to be held. He claims to be innocent of the charge lodged against him, and intimates that a spirit of spite, though not on the part of the gov ernment, is back of the trouble. He acknowledges that there was short age of a few hundred dollars at the Grannis postoffice during his admin istration, but is not able to fix the blame. The deficit was met by his bondsmen when its existence was dis covered, and this he claims to have made good through the sale of Kan sas property owned by his wife. Ac.. cording to his story, he resigned when he learned that he was sus- pected of wrong-doing. This story is at variance with that of the gov ernment officers, who say he has been a fugitive from justice since June of last year.

The company offers reward for
any intelligence given it which
might lead to the conviction of
the kids, Ii sufficient evidence
can be secured the boys will be

Plenty of Buildings.

1t is with great deal of pleas
ure that the people of Florence
and visitors in the city look upon
the new residence buildings that
are being erected in the different
localities of the city and especially
those of the West End. Here and
there can be noticed new houses
dotting that end of town.
Building in Florence for the
greater part of this year has been
crippled, owing 10 the late frosts
of winter, the heavy rains of spring
and the scarcity of brick. But the
latter trouble has about ended as
the brick yards are now turning
them out in sufficient quantities
to warrant busy summer in that
line.
OF course there are few empty
houses in town that are vacant,
caused by railroad men being
transferred to Canon and non-
employed men leaving town on
account of the closing down of
two mills, but the outlook for the
occupany of the vacant homes is
bright.

The story of the destruction of the
baths of st. Gervais at the foot OF
Mont Blanc, in 1892, is told in "The
Annals of Mont Blanc" This was one
of the calamities that could scarcely
have been predicted or averted.
Owing to the stoppage Of the sub.
glacial drainage, In some way never
ascertained, lake was formed under
the Tete Rouse glacier, in which an
enormous body of water was pent up
at spot 10000 feet above the sea lev
ell. Between 1 and 2 o'clock on the
night of July u, 1892, the ice that had
held the lake gave way.
The water swept in torrent Of ire
mendous force over the Desert de
Pierre Ronde, gathering up thousands
Of tons Of rock and stones in it's course.
1t passed with terrific roar under the
hamlet of Bionnassay, which it did not
injure, destroyed half the village Of
Bionnay on the highroad between Con-
tamines and st. Gervais and, tearing
up trees as it went along, Joined the
main river of the Bon-Nant.
Following the river bed and destroy
ing on its way the old Pont du Diable,
1t hurled its seething flood of water.
timber, stones and mud upon the solid
buildings of the st. Gervais baths and
crushed them into fragments. Then,
crossing the Chamonix road it spread
itself out in the form Of hideous fan
over the valley of the Arve, destroying
part of the village of LIE Fayet in it's
way.
Such was the catastrophe of ST. Ger
vais which claimed over $50 victims.
Utter ruin was everywhere. The once
lovely gardens Of the baths were five
or six feet deep in mud, fine trees had
been snapped like reeds and enormous
blocks of stone were strewn over the
areary waste.

A New York jury has recently award
ed the widow of a victim of a street
railway accident $4,000 damages. The
husbands income was $4,000. On the
same day in the same court Jury
awarded the widow Of another victim
Of street railways carelessness 81 800,
his income having been about $1,000
year. The disparity in the two cases
attracted not little attention, particu-
larly In view of the fact that the usual
practice In such damage suits Is to limit
the award to $1,000. The ordinary in
depreciation OF the law Is that human
life Ia to be valued without reference
to the earning capacity Of the person
while living. This rule has no doubt
worked injustice In many instances,
but it has generally been regarded as
unsafe to permit veritable pecuniary
estimate to be placed upon life, and
hence a maximum Of damages obtains
In most states. In the case in point the
widow of the 81 800 man was doubtless
Tar more seriously in need Of help than
the widow of the $4,000 man. The
former must have left his family in
much worse circumstances than the
latter. Altogether the cases cited give
rise to an interesting and rather intri-
cate question of law.
