We are glad to learn that
Frank Losee, who had his leg
broken a few weeks ago, is rap
idly improving.
H. G. Prick has voluntarily in
creased the wages of his employees
10 per cent. This is what should
be termed true philanthropy.
Rev. G.. A. Dowell, rector OF
St. Paul's church, returned this
afternoon from a PASTORAL visit
to Clarksburg and Pennsboro.
Mrs. lobe Hart of Graham
street, had the misfortune to
sprain her ankle a few days ago.
Her infant child is also quite i'll.
The services at the City build
ing, conducted by P. Neill, Ohio
State evangelist, have thus far
been very satisfactory. The at
tention and the interest shown by
those who attend has been good.
The subject for this evening at
7:3O, cone Lord. One Faith, one

ing at the hall tomorrow night,
but a Bible study at the home
of w. M. Farley, 12l Cliff street.
Services at the City building
again Friday. .
The ice had not moved here at
3 o'clock this afternoon, but the
river was still rising slowly. The
great gorge at points north broke
last night and this morning, but
were checked later by coming IN
contact with other immense
gorges. Capt. Bedilion gave it as
his opinion this afternoon that
there would be a general break
up in the Ohio tonight or tomor-
row. The water has raised up un-
der the wharf boat, but it was not
quite afoat when we went to
press. The river is almost up to
the foot of the banks.

This SAID To Be Point on Which
Mission VIII Not Yield.
tBy The Associated Press)

Portsmouth. y. H, Aug. Sit is thought that
at to-morrow's peace conference it may be pos
sible TO exchange the fundamental bases on
which the representatives of the two belligerent
powers may be able to reach an understanding
II is only after an accord on those fundamental
bases that an armistice will be considered ad-
vantageous by both parties
on one point the Russian delegates are in
structed not TO yield-that regarding a in
demnity, which it stated, is against the
Russian feeling against Russian pride and
against the whole history Of the country.

ENTIRE CITY STRICKEN.
YellO1c FeUer Reaches Best Sections
of Nezc-OrlednS.

ew-Orleans Aug. S.-The yellow fever in
New-Orleans took a sudden change for the worse
to-day and 60 new cases were reported TO the
city health authorities There are also num-
Der of additional cases which are classed
suspicious, on which no report Will be made un
til tomorrow, after further Investigations.
One feature of the situation which is causing
the authorities uneasiness is that the disease Is
rapidly spreading to all parts of the city and
is no longer confined TO the Italian population,
as was the case in the beginning
Cases are now being reported from St Charles
ave- the most exclusive thorOughfare in the city,
and on other streets which are devoted to the
better classes of residents. The Health De-
partment is using every effort to prevent the
spread of the disease in these sections They
are screening from top to bottom, every house
ir which the cases appear. and are killing all
the mosquitoes the premises.
At the same time they are discovering that
the fever cannot be confined TO the original dis
trict and surrounding territory. The fact that
it has spread to so many parts of the city rem
ders the work of the authorities much more diff
fcuIt. as they have territory TO cover much
larger than any city in the country. except
greater New-York.
1t is believed that many cases reported to-day
are of secondary infection-that is, they have
resulted from bites of mosquitoes. which became
infected in the Italian quarter from the first
cases. before the necessary steps could be taken
20 prevent the spread OF the infection.
Force is to be met with force in the breaking
up of quarantines which have practically put
an end TO railroad travel out of this city. The
State Health Department to-day announced 10
Governor Blanchard that they were unable 10
handle the situation in regard to this quaran-
tire put on by country towns and by the vari-
cuS riS nd as * al Iu1O
an impossibility for the physicians of the Health
Department to reach the various points in the
State where the new cases We're reported They
therefore asked Governor Blanchard call out
the State militia. so that they may be sent 20
all parts of the State where traffic is being in
terfered With
Many towns and parishes have forced trains
to stop outside their boundaries. thus cutting the
railroads up into small sections on which IT is
impossible to operate trains.
1t is expected that Governor Blanchard will
issue orders 10 call out the militia. either to-
night or early in the morning and as soon as ne
does guards will he sent 10 all places where
State Health Board is interfered with or any
effort is made 10 stop trains. trouble viii result
MUCH MAIL HELD UP
These quarantines are becoming more and
more burdensome 10 the city. and mail is now
being sent back here in large quantities. from

FEVER GAINING GROUND.

Three Deaths and Many Gases an
Other Cities.
YESTERDAYS FEVER RECORD.

yellow fever's ravage made alarming strides
yesterday. Three deaths were reported from
Shreveport. La. and twenty-five eases at Pat
terson. La. In addition to this there We're sixty
new cases at New Orleans. and many of these
were in the best residential section of the city
The health authorities now admit that efforts 10
confine the disease TO the Italian quarter have
failed.
The new cases are regarded of secondary
nature 'being the result of infection from mos
ouitoes which have absorbed the conta giOn and
spread the disease. An appeal is TO be made TO
the Governor to call out detachments of militia
and some parts of New-Orleans may be put
under martial law.

Albany Aug s-The middle section of the big

morning, carrying down with it over hundred

work on the part of an army of rescuers olsen
tangled fifty people, six dead and many of the
rest badly injured. Three more bodies are in
sight, but many hours will be required TO get
them out. Anything like a complete list o. the
killed and injured will be unobtainable until
the workers have made their way TO the bot
tom of the mass OF wreckage With few eXcep-
tions those caught in the ruin are employees and
a large majority of them are girls
The catastrophe occurred shortly after the
opening hour, when barely a score Of shoppers
were in the store. a clock found in the debris
had stopped at twelve minutes before o'clock
showing when tho crash came.
The best account of the cause of the ruin is
given by the head of the crockery, glass and
drug department, which was in the basement.
THE workmen were saving al a wooden floor

the central pillars in the middle of the store

The pillar which gave way supported the ends
of two giant girders and when it fell the main
support of the central part OF the building was
gone With q noise that could be heard blocks
away, and shook the adjoining buildings like
earthquake. nearly half the great structure,
from cellar to roof and from one side wall to
the other, came grinding down Into this wreck
slid scores of employees who were working on the
four floors above and lacked the warning which
enabled those in the basement to escape. Many,
however alarmed by falling plaster and
saved themselves by rushing to the front OF the
store or TO the fire escape in the rear.
