Stops Sunday Work .

Basing his action on moral grounds,
President Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, has ordered all Sunday work
stopped on the new Washington Union
Station.
Contractors who are at work on the
station, the total cost of which Is 10 be
about 81, 900, 900, have been pushing
the work in order to finish the job by
next year if possible. The accommo-
dations afforded by the Pennsylvania
Railroad in Washington at present are
entirely inadequate.
President Cassatt's action was the re-
suit of complaint filed with with him
by the International Reform Bureau, oil
Washington. In answering the com
plant he thanked the bureau for the
information and said 4: off our em-
ployes or contractors have been engaged
in Sunday work in connection with the
new station building at Washington,
directions will be given to have this i'm

Drowned in a Mine.

The Barringer gold mine, located near
Gold Hill, Rowan county, N. c., was
suddenly flooded by water late Yesterday
afternoon, causing the instant death Of
eight men employed in the mine. Nine
men were in the mine shaft when the
dam of large pond located near the en-
trance to the mine suddenly gave way,
the food being caused by excessive rains.
The waters rushed with terrific force into
the mine, filling it quickly to depth of
about a hundred feet, and drowning
eight men, who we're powerless to save
themselves. Thomas MOyle, manager 81
the plant, was the only one to escape
death. The mine is filed with water and
none of the dead bodies has yet been re-
covered. An unusual downpour OF rair
is reported from the vicinity OF the mine
yesterday afternoon, much damage being
done to property. The flooded mine j:
the property of the Whitney Reduction
Company, ofSalisbury and Pittsburg, Pa.
and has been operated by the company
for number of years.

Canscs of Typhoid Fever.

There are several causes of typhoid
fever in this city, and some of the pa
tients have at times been critically I'LL.
There is always more or less speculation
as to what supernduces this malady,
and while the purity of the water is gen
orally questioned, many believe the germs
of the disease exist elsewhere. A gen
tleman connected with the health de-
partment of another city made visit to
Alexandria n day or two ago and IN con-
yersation with citizen asserted posi-
lively that the water supply OF Aiexan'
dria did not cause the fever, aud that INC
analysis proved his assertion was correct
He said, however, that typhoid fever
was often produced by milk, and s9g-
gested that much of this product when
was rejected by the health departments
in neighboring cities was probably brought
here. The gentleman said the same
might be said OF other commodities dis
posed ofin Alexandra where there are
no inspection laws.

ter Of Captain Black, and the clock formed
a portion of his furniture when on the mar
riage of Mr.. Baldwin and Miss Shay 1t was
removed to Washington. After Mrs. Bald

Gloom i'm st. Petersburg.

The news received in Paris from st.
Petersburg is again less hopeful. 1t be-
trays not only doubt of the complete
ness of intelligence from the seat OF war;
but an apprehension that official silence
hides fresh Russian reyerses. st. Peters
burg correspondents of Paris newspapers
decidedly favorable to Russia complain OF
the increasing difficulty OF obtaining trust
worthy information. Their kilograms
riaect the prevailing dependency. While
the news from Port Arthur is no better
than that from Liao-yang, the Russian
general staff considers that it can hold
out some time longer, hut this has not
concealed the gravity Of the situation.
The garrison is exhausted by the fatigues
of the six months campaign, during
which the troops have been kept ON the
alert day and night, and the least pes
simistic OF Russians regard as inevitable
its capitulation after desperate struggle
or its destruction in sanguinary final
