Fresh Incidents Of Henry Ward
Beecher.

There is probably no one to-day
living who knew Henry Ward Beecher
in a more intimate way than did the
man who married his daughter-the
Rev. Samuel Scoville The Sunday
school Times has taken advantage OF
this fact, and has secured from Mr..
Scoville four reminiscent articles on
the family life and personality of the
great preacher.
The series opens in the issue Of May
18th, with a sketch telling Of the
writer's early acquaintance with Mr..
Beecher and of the characteristic way
ia which the latter greeted the news
that the former was going to rob him
of his daughter. The papers to fol-
low will take up the Brooklyn life OF
the preacher, will give amusing and
instructive glimpses Of his personal
correspondence and will close with a
discerning essay on what Made Mr.
Beecher Great Man"

FEARED MRS. M'klNLEY
WILL NOT RALLY

San Francisco, May 16.-At II p.
m. last night DR.. Hirschfelder LETT
the Scott residence. At that time
Mrs. Mckinley was reported to be
slightly better. A few moments later
DR.. Rixey, who had been In constant
attendance for over "a hours, retired
to get a little rest.
About 10 .. m. it was said the mem.
bers of the cabinet were very appre.
hensive that Mrs. Mckinley would
not rally. Her physicians had not
been able to check the intestinal
trouble and she was in an enfeebled
condition. But at the Scott residence
at that hour it was stated that there
was no immediate danger, although
change for the worse would not be
unexpected.
When the members of the DO.
hemian club learned last night of the
alarming nature of Mrs. Mckinley's
illness the elaborate entertainment
that had been planned was abandoned
out of respect to the president.

Army Engineers Consent that 1t Shall
be Reduced to 700 Feet Work Can
Begin
WASHINGTON. May l6.--The board
Of army engineers, with Maj Powell
as chairman, which has been investi-
eating the advisability of reducing
the channel span OF the bridge to be
built across the Ohio river. from Ben
wood, w. Va, to Bellaire, O., from
500 to 400 feet, has made its report to
the chief Of engineers.
1t recommends that the bridge have
a channel span Of 700 feet, but states
that 1t sees no reason for reducing 1t
from 800 feet. The only thing that
influenced the board in recommending
100 feet was that nearly all the river
interests, including the Pittsburg
Coal exchange, agreed that 700 feet
would be better than 800 feet. The
chief of engineers and Secretary Of
War have approved the action of the
board, and as soon as the Wheeling,
Renwood and Bellaire Bridge company
which is TO construct the bridge, mod
ifies its plans SO as to conform to a
TOO foot span, they will be forwarded
to the Secretary and work on the
bridge will begin.

More Persons Killed and Injured Last Year Than I'm the Spanish-
 American War.

Commissioner John McMack1n, or the vtate bureau of labor statistics, in his annual report of the legislature com pares the number of deaths and inju- :iesan,ong the million persons employed n the factories and shops of this state % the number of killed and woundedin he Spanish American war. He points out that 700 toilcrs met their death through accidents last year and that of :he injuries sustained by 10000 work men, 5000 of these injuries entailed lisablement for a period in excess of three months. He contrasts this rec ,rd with the casualties of the recent var, stating that only 2S0 were killed missioner favors the enactment of an employers liability law.
 Between 1886 and 1899 the number of employees in 3,553 establishments in creased 56,321. In these establishments :he wages during that period increased from $l4l, ,1S4,84 in 1896 to $162 ,645 ,G49 .ast year. The only branches of indus try which do not exhibit improved conditions in 1S98-99, as compared with 1897 -0S are the textile and building in- lustries. The decline in the textile in- 1ustly ia confined to the woolen and :ot ton factories, and does not occur in the manufacture of silk, hosiery and 1nit goods, or in any of the other tex tiles. The repor ted decline in he build- ;ng industry is more apparent than real, IS it is simply the result of abnormally large figures for 1897 08, reported by single establishment.
 Comparing 1899 with 1896, the indus tries enjoying the largest growth are clothing, public utilities G. e., gas, cleo tric lighting and street railways), met als, machinery, etc., and leather, all of which exhibited larger increase than the general average.
 During the first three months of 1897 virtually one-fourth of all members of labor unions were unemployed. There after gradual improvement set in, with the result that fewer members were reported idle each quarter than in the corresponding quarter in the pre- cediug year, until the last three months n 1898 and the first three in 1899. And was not until the second and third quarters of 1899 that the number of :he unemployed was reduced to any thing like normal proportions. In the third quarter of 1899 the proportion of unionists continuously employed was scarcely tenth of the proportion in the first quarter of 1897, and was less than half the proportion in the third quarter of 1897-N Y.
