IN GERMANY

In long, detailed report on the cost
of living in Germany Consul Harris,
writing from Chemnitz, says that foods
are comparatively dearer in the EN-.
pire than in the United States. For
example, coffees range in price from
"a to As cents per half kilo or IL
pounds; tea runs from 4s to 90 cents;
sugar, granulated, from .07s to .0S5
cents; rice and barley from 4 to sh
centsj butter from 32 to 33 cents; oleo
margarine, much of which is manufac.
tured, from 8 cents quart; fresh
meats sell for about 10 cents pound; !;
bacon, 2l cents; ham, 20 cents; turkeys
"a to 2s1a cents per IL pounds; pota.
toes from 95 cents to $1.O7 per 112
pounds.

very substantial part Of the empire 8

der anything like luxurious living. Her.
rings sell for .023 cents each; salmon
for As cents to $1.19 per IL pounds
The foregoing items and figures have
been picked from Mr.. Harris report
for the purpose Of pointing out the
most suggestive and significant features
Of the whole.
In regard to meats, Mr.. Harris says:
The question Of cheap meat for the
poorer classes is beginning to agitate
the empire. As was to have been ex.
pected, the tariff laws enacted in favor
of the landed proprietors have not pro.
duced the desired effect. Germany
produces about 75 per cent Of her own
foodstuffs, 1t was claimed that the
remaining % per cent could also be
produced by a better system Of inten.

by a tariff which would protect the

SITUATION IMPROVES
PROGRESS OF YELLOW FEVER At
NEW ORLEANS BELIEVED TO
HAVE BEEN CHECKED.

New Orleans, Aug. 16.-The official
yellow fever report up to p. m. Tues
day Is as follows:
New cases. 81; total to date. 1880;
deaths, 8; total. 172; new sub-foci.
10; total to date. 22s; number of
cases under treatment. 3S4.
Tuesdays record shows that there
is beginning to be an improvement in
the situation. With only sixty-two
new cases found by the present sys-
tenn, there is every reason to believe
that the progress Of the disease has
been checked and it's eradication is
only a question OF few weeks. OF
the six deaths Tuesday only one was
an Italian. Among the others was j.
o. Despit, prominent young law
yer, and Pierre Aldal, we'll known
musician, at one time leader Of the
French opera orchestra. Aldal, how
ever, was in destitute circumstances
and was buried by the city. He was
found in a dying condition. Only a
third Of the new cases Tuesday are
Italians.
The state board of health an
nounces that in the state outside of
New Orleans there have been to date
129 cases and "a deaths.

A Fast Passenger and Freight
Collide on the Nickel
Plate
The Fever Fighters Make Gain
Upon Yellow Jacks
Domain

Cleveland, Aug. 14.-.A fast east
bound passenger train on the Nickel
Plate road collided with a westbound
freight train at Kishman, O., near
Vermillion, resulting in the death of
twelve persons, while at least twenty.
five others were injured. eight of
whom will probably die.
The wreck, according to the officials
of the company, was caused by a
Misunderstanding of orders or neglect
to obey them on the part of the crew
of the freight train.
Aside from the engineer the men
killed on the passenger train were
all riding in the smoking car at the
head of the train and were mostly
foreign laborers in the employ of the
Standard OIL company on their way
from Fort Seneca, o., to BroohAeld.
o.. In charge of foreman.
When the trains came together al
most everybody in the smoker was
doing. The sudden jar hurled them
out Of their seats into the aisle and
threw several persons to the roof and
sides Of the car. which seemed all at
once to crush in like paper bag,
pinning down each passenger in the
position in which he had been caught.
The passengers in the second car
escaped more easily, as there the vio-
lence OF the impact was not 10 severe,
although few got of without cuts.
bruises, sprains or broken bones.lThe
two rear cars were slespers and they
withstood the shock without suffering
serious harm. No passenger in the
sleepers was injured.
