from $1,000,000 to 5900,000. In 1891 America
imported from southern Germany S18o,000
worth of hair and over $000,000 worth of
hops. The latter article has increased
about 33 per cent this year. Iron ware,
fcteel and cutlery have fallen from $1,640,
518 to 902,365, a decrease of nearly 50 per
cent. Linen, cotton and woolen goods
amounted to SL807,9S0, an apparent in
crease of 5210.2S4; but as the item of cloth
has disappeared from this year's state
ment whereas last year it amounted to
over $500,000 this increase is only a seem
ing one. Music and musical instruments
were exported to the value of $120,208.
Silk, silk goods, velvet, ribbons and
braids fell from l,114,2oS to $2,941,611. Of
wines, brandy, beer and liquors, America
took during the last half ot the year sr2o,
469 worth.
From this mass of figures it is, however,
next to impossible to draw any definite
conclusions as to the workings and eltects
of the McKinley bill. Some apparent de
creases in the value of exports are due to
the strict regulations of the department as
rpgards the invoicing of goods at the place
of oricin. Sugar, for instance, was form
erly all invoiced from Magdeburg by the
sugar brokers there, no matter whether it
came from Germany or from Austria.
Now Austrian sugar must be invoiced at
the proper consulate there; hence the seem
ing falling off in the exportation of sugar.
The increase in the value of certain im
ports is also not always due to an increased
amount. Besides the reasons given above,
other extraordinary circumstancesprevent
the possibility of judging of the effects of
the McKinloy bill by the figures given. In
anticipation of its passage heavy ship
ments of all kinds of goods were rushed
..,,,., -vq nnn Thn Amnriean market
was overstocked with goods, and in conse
quence the first year's bills of expense will
show a large decrease in exports.
HANGED.
Dovun, Del., August 7. James Thor
oughgood (colored) was hanged iu the jail
he re at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon for an
assault upon an 8-year-old girl. The as
sault was characterized by a degree ot
brutality that made it questionable for a
time whether the child would live
Thoroughgood was led from his cell,
moaning and shouting, leaning heavily
upon the arms of his spiritual advisers,
Rev. Doctors Gibson and Jackson. lie
was scarcely able to walk to the sraffold.
Rector Gibson read the service for the
dead, but his voice was drowned in Thor
cughgood'f piteous apneals to heaven. As
he walked he kept his eyes straight above
himj ehouting "Glory to God," He was
assisted up the steps of the scaffold, avert
ing his eyes from the noose.
After ever preparation had been made
for the drop, Rev. Mr. Jackson asked,
"Did you do it you know what I mean? '
The ncizro, on the verge of eternity, re
plied: "lam not guilty." Just as the
black cap was drawn over his head,
Thoroughgood shouted: "I am not guilty,
thank God, and as I stand here on the
bcaffold, I declare to God that I have never
done injury to man or woman living. God
havo mercy on my soul." Scarcely had
the words died away when the hatchet fell
and the doomed man shot through the
trap. His neck was broken and he was
pronounced dead in six and a half minutes.
Thorougbgood's v.ctira. little Louisa
Bufiington. came in from Viola with her
mother during the morning, but could not
be induced to enter the jail, though efforts
were mado to fret her to confront
Tlioroughgood. When sho came near
enough to hear his voice she became so
terroT-strickeu that it was necessary to
lemovoher.

TO RAID THE TREASURY.
Washington. August 7. The secretary
of tho treasury has been advised that a
bold attempt wiil be made during the
present month to rob the treasury "'by a
.strong determined band of men organized
for that purpoie." The plan is to start
fires in various parts of the city for the
purpose of diverting the attention of the
police, and then to overpower the treasury
watchmen and loot the money vaults. The
information was giveu in a letter signed
by the "King of the Tramps," who ex
plained hib knowledge of the plot by the
statement that he was the leader of the
band. The letter w;is referred to the cap
tain of the watch, with instructions to
give the visitors a proper reception.

their earnings from them, allowing them
10 cents a day for food.
A TRAIN BURIED.
DENVER, Colo.. August 7. A crowded

was wrecked by a most peculiar accident
this morning at Deboque, 400 miles west
of here. As the train was passing through
a deep cut near tho station, a landslide,
nearly a quarter of a mile in length, came
down the side of the mountain into the
cut, sweeping the train from ttie trick and
nearly burying a portion of it. The pas
sengers were badly frightened, but luckily
uouo wero injured.

SEAL PIRATES.
Washington, Augusts Capt. Coulson,
commanding the revenue cutter Rush, re
ports to the treasury department, under
date of Ounalaska, July 9, that on the 0th
inst., while cruising to the northward of

vessels iu pursuit of seals not to euter
Bering sea, hi fell in with the British
schooner. E. B. Marvin. Caleb McDougall
muster, of Victoria, B. C , having on
board twentv-three men and all the imple
ments necessary for sealing. Upon being
haued Capt. McDougall said that he was
sailing. It was learnM that the Marvin
had been boarded on July 1 by the United
States steamer Thetis aud furnished with
a copy of the president's proclamation and
the necessary warning was giveu to the
master not to try to enter Bering sea for
the purpose of sealing. On that occasion
the master reported that he "had no seal
skins on board. '' He refused to allow the
boarding officer of t he Thetis to endnre
on his register the fact that he had beea
notified anil is reported as being otherwise
"n nci vil." On an exam tnatiou by the officers
of the Rush, two fresh seals "were found
on board. The ci re nm stances of the case
were considered sufficient by Capt. Coul

Does Not Ketnrn to Dust.
Many strange things have been told
concerning the secrete of the grave.
Within the past few months discoveries
have been made in Missouri and Iowa
that people have been buried alive, but
the strangest discovery was made in
Colchester a few days ago, viz., that,
after having been buried twenty-one
years, the body of Miss FJora Hume is
in as perfect a condition as the day she
died.
Twenty-one years ago the lady died in
St. Paul of pneumonia and the body was
brought to Colchester and buried in the
Argyle cemetery. That cemetery has
long since fallen into disuse, and recent
ly it was laid out in nicely improved
grounds. The few graves in it were re
moved, and among the dead was the
body of Miss Flora Hume. It was in
closed in a metallic case. This was cov
ered with a heavy coat of rust. When
the cover was removed there lay the
body perfectly intact. The features
were readily recognized by relatives,
and the clothing looked perfectly fresh.
Even a ribbon of delicate tint about the
neck was as bright and fresh as when it
had been first put on.
The face was not in the least discol
ored, and the body was full and round.
In fact, the corpse looked as though it
might have been buried only a few
hours. Quincy (HI.) Herald.
In a Miser's Hut.
A dispatch from Columbia, S. C, says:
"Uncle Billy Bost, an eccentric char
acter of Cabarrus county, N. C, is dead.
He was a bachelor, about eighty years
old. His only companions were tsvo
dogs and an old negro. His real estate
consisted of 1,800 acres of land, which he
left to his nephews. He had a safe
which was thought to hold thousands of
dollars, but when if was opened the only
money found was a nickel. However, in
bureau drawers, in old cupboards, in
pitchers and jars, in old clothes closet3,
in old stockings and in cracks in his
miserable house was found 10,000 in
gold, besides a large quantity of gold
dust and bullion and a few hundred dol
lars in greenbacks.
"In the search a package from a Char
lotte bank was found containing $700
that had never been opened. This was
received by him in 18S0. He had corn
and bacon on hand four years old, and
some hay that had been stacked for
twenty-five years. He made his will
only three weeks ago, and there is much
talk of contesting it, for some of his kin
have been left without anything."
Choked by a Cow's Tall.
A peculiar and fatal accident occurred
recently to the seven-year-old son of Mr.
Tramal Carter, who lives four miles
north of town. The little fellow was in
the habit of driving the cows to pasture
every morning, and one morning after
he had eaten his breakfast he started off
with his cows as usual. About an hour
later a member of the family went in
search of him, and was horrified to see
a cow dragging the almost lifeless body
over the field. The boy had tied the
cow's tail around his neck, and the cow,
a gentle one, had become frightened and
ran off, dragging the little fellow with
her. The little fellow was released only
by cutting tho cow's tail, and was barely
alive. Louisville Courier-Journal.
Ammonia an n IMotivo Power.
A most successf nl test has been made
Df the use of ammonia as a motive power
to displace steam. The test was the first
that has ever been made on a marine en
gine, and the trial was most satisfactory.
An ammonia engine plant has been fitted
out on the tug E. W. Hartley, which
made a trip up and down the river, sub
jecting the new scheme to a practical
test. Its workings are novel and inter
esting, not only to the mechanical and
scientific circles, but also to the laymen
of the industrial world.
An ordinary engine can be converted
into an ammonia engine simply by tho
addition of a "generator," which is much
like a boiler. Steam is used simply for
the purposes of heating tho aqua am
monia in the generator. The heated am
monia expels a gas, leaving a weak solu
tion of ammonia in the bottom of this
boilerlike affair. When, by raising the
temperature of the ammonia, sufficient
power is generated, tho throttle valve is
opened and the gas passes into the cylin
der of the engine and propels the piston
rod in every way the same as steam.
It is here exhausted the same as steam,
but at this point the gas is cooled and
conducted back to tho generator. Be
fore it reaches the latter vessel it is car
ried by a "spray coil" to a point where
the gas comes in contact with the am
monia solution which has been rejected
from the generator, and here the solu
tion is recharged by absorption and by
tho natural affinity existing between
water and ammonia.
By this means the saiie body of am
monia is used constantly, exhausting
itself only to be recharged with new life
and to be returned to the generator. The
same is true of the water used. The
steam in the generator imparts its heat
to the ammonia and is thereby condensed
and carried back to the boiler to be used
again. In the ammonia engine there is
absolutely no waste. Philadelphia Rec

The prescience of fame is very infre
quent. The village gazes in wonder at
the return of the famous man who was
born on the farm under the lull, and
whose latent greatness nobody suspect
ed; while the youth who printed verses
in the corner of the county paper, and
drew the fascinated glances of palpita
ting maidens in the meeting house, and
seemed to the fanners to have associated
himself at once with Shakespeare and
Tapper and the great literary or "littery
folks," never emerges from the poet's de
partment in the paper in which uncon
sciously and forever he has beea cor
nered. It would be a grim Puritan jest

Water That Ist a Customer.
It is fun to watch the pineapple man.
He is a generous fellow, and the slabs
of pine that he cuts off and retails for a
nickel are thick and sweet, and his trade
is large.
Unto him clerks, newsbos and mil
lionaires come the livelong day to re
fresh themselves with fruit He peels
and cuts and cuts and peels, and still the
demand continues.
A Wall street banker stops and buys a
piece; an editor refreshes his inner man
with a slab of pine; a street gamin whee
dles a nickel slice out of the old man for
a penny. An old, decrepit woman, with
a cheek as hard as that of the statue of
Liberty, conies up and asks him for a
slice. The pineapple man looks at her a
minute, subtracts a thin slice from the
heap and gives it to the beggar, and she
goes on her way rejoicing.
At last the curbstone merchant gets
out his dinner pail and eats a hearty
meal. It never occurs to him to flavor
it with some of his luscious stock in
trade, and he goes dessertless.
When he is through he takes out a
very small tin pail of water and sprin
kles some of it upon the fruit to keep it
from getting dry. Then ho carefully
washes his hands in the pail, and then,
oh, heavens! he carefully covers up the
pail, as if water were precious under the
shadow of the postoffice and with the
free drinking fountain not thirty feet

The Xeglect of tho Groom.
A person about to be married has sent
in a complaint for public consideration
against the constant neglect which the
bridegroom receives from the press, from
tho friends of the contracting parties
and often from their immediate families.
All interest centers in the bride, whose
dress is described in voluminous detail,
whose bonquet is not considered beneath
mention, and whoso face, blushing be
neath her veil, is the most pleasing at
traction of the wedding.
The bridesmaids, lovely girls, flutter
ing in dainty colors, are worth more
than a passing nonce. The ushers, the
gnests, and even the organist, are spoken
of in an appreciative manner. Some
times there is consideration shown to the
sexton of the church. But where is the
groom: mere are columns or aesenp-
jmmus vl u.np- .
tions of weddmes in the daily pre.aad
in these columns the personal! tr of the
groom is passed over without a glimmer !
of apoloi?y. j
How does the groom dress? What is
his choice of flower? Do his gloT&s St?
Are his shoes of patent leathe
leather? Xobody '
: details, altboagh
knows the?e interesting
they are undoubtedly important to the i
neglected man. His presence is supposed '
from Decagonal mention oi tne yonng
couple," and he probabiy may be seen
skulking around tbe comer of tbe pel
pit; but he is evidentlv in a berry for
i the comoleaon of the matter. It is not
his occasion. Unfortunate man, be is tbe

A Gorman ISuby'i Afheuture.
A party of German peasants set out
for the christening of a new baby, the
baby being swaddlod and wrapped in
the usual manner. The way was long
to the church and the weather was cold;
indeed, snow lay on the ground. The
anxiety of the christening over the
whole party parents, sponsors and
friends adjonrned to the village inn
to warm and cheer themselves with
schnaps, or what the Londoner terms,
"a drop of something short." They then
set off on their return home lightly an!
gayly, and their hearts being merr.
within them they essayed a snatch
two of song and a step or two of danc
Home was at length reached, and tu
interesting christened bundle was laid
on the table. The whole party parents,
sponsors and friends stared agapo and
in silence; there was tho pillow, the
ribbons and the bows all complete, but
where was the baby?
Some one ventured to raise the bundle,
it was quite limp and empty! Baby was
gone! Back the whole party hurried on
its lonely track, and baby was found
asleep in the snow, about midway be
tween the church and the village. He
was a sturdy child, and the story runs
that he escaped with a violent sneeze or
two, which, it is said, the anxious pa
rents strove to allay by popping him
into the oven. There can be no donbt
that the German child that could sur
vive the pillow, and the snow, and tho
oven must have been sturdy indeed.
