May, Lewis C. Barley, Charles Burdheim of this city and Mr. Andrew A. Lipscomb of the county. Who the successful candi- date will be is hard to judge, as they are all making a vigorous canvass. : Mission Reports. The Union Mission report, which has just been published, shows that they have done excellent work since its organization last fall, and that seventy-one persons have been ccnverted through its instrumentality. The report of the treasurer, however, shows that there is only a balance of e!ghty-nine cents ja the treasury, and an earnest ap- peal for financial assistance, so that the mission- can tind some place to hold its meetings during the coming winter, is made. City Council. The regular sem!-monthly meeting of the eity council will be held tomorrow night, and it is expected that they will fill the position of keeper of the alms house. The friends of the different candidates are mak- ing a vigorous canvass. The candidates for the office are Messrs. Smith, Skillman, Travers, and it is reported that Mr. W. B. Debie is going into the fight. Notes, There will be a regular monthly meeting of tha R. E.

How Ex-United States Regulars Are Fighting the Spaniards on the Island. A letter has been received from Edward Watson, formerly a private in the twenty- first United States infantry, dated in camp at Santiago de Cuba, September 16, in which he says: “I got my commission at Tampa, Fla., on March 1, 1895, for a captaincy in the Cuban army, at $100 per month, payable in gold (and I get it); the conditions were that I was to take charge of an independent com- pany and to have the pick of my own men. I went to New Orleans, and as luck would have it got five ex-United States cavalry- men and a very smart German, who grad- uated at Leipsic, Germany, in chemistry and is an expert in making all kinds of explosives. We started from Tampa on a small steamer on March 12, 1895, and landéd without any trouble near Santiago de Cuba. ‘The soldiers sent from Spain are a lot of boys who are not acclimated and are dying like sheep. They have little bedding and a small rubber cape to cover their shoulders. Since my arrival here my com- pany has been in several engagements. We have daily encountered smali bands of Spanish troops, anniFilating them like you would grouse on a cold frosty morning. Our first defeat was on July 5. Sergeant Wilson, formerly a private in the fourth United Siates cavalry, after a two days’ scout, reiurned, and reported seventy-five Spanish scldiers coming this way ani es- ‘ting three government officers. We started with eighty-five men, and in- stead of finding seventy-five Spanish troops We ran into a hornet's nest of 2,000. We re- treated the best we could, but lust twelve good men, among them Sergt. Josevh L. Rounds, formerly of the first United States cavalry. ° “We held a_council of war and our chemist, Herr Donzelmann, suggested that we dress aa farm and ten of our men should «9 aml blow che grandstand up with dynamite. They left camp at 5 a.m. and arrived at the camp at 12:30, The mer mingied with the soldiers until f p. m., when they placed under the amphi- theater twelve pounds of dynamite at four different locations and exploded Ii by elec- tricity. Our men escaped, but the explo- sion killed two of the Spanish oflicers, sixty-eight men and wounded 113.” ——_+e $500 for an Imagination.

Mr. Yang Yu, the Chinese minister, ac- companied by four members of the lega- tion, left here yesterday for New York city. Mr. Yang Yu is also accredited to the Spanish goyernment, and he is going to make his first visit there in his diplo- matic capacity. The party will remain in New York city until the 12th instant, when. they will embark on board a French line steamer for Havre and from there will go to Spain. During the minister's absence Mr. Hoo will be in charge of the legation in this city. ————+2+_____ Black’s OMicial Majority 1,602.

While a great crowd of people was as- sembled yesterday afternoon to witness the laying of the corner stone of the new Bt. Mary’s Catholic Church at Lorain, Ohio, a temporary floor on which meny of the peo- ple were standing suddenly gave way, pre- cipitating many men, women and children into the basement. One wes killed out- right, two were fatally injured and be- tween thirty.and forty others were badly hurt. The boards forming the temporary floor had been laid across the joists, which were supported in the middle by upright posts. ‘These suppcrts broke snd the floor went down with a crash. Fully 300 people were thrown into the pit formed by the sagging in the middle of the floor. For a moment everybody was paralyzed by the calamity, but soon there was a rush forward by those willing to lend assistance to the crushed and struggling people. This made matters worse, for fifty mote persons were crowded forward into the hole upon those who went down with the floor. When the confusion had subsided somewhat many of those who were able to extricate them- selves did so by walking and crawling over their less fortunate companions. The res- cue was begun at once, and all were finally taken froin the pit. Mary Weber, three years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mat Weber of Sheffield, was killed. The fatally injured are: Rosa Mi Gee, three years old, skull fractured; Kat! Griffin, eight years old, hurt internally; Mrs. Mary McGracith, left leg crushed ani hurt interrally; Mrs. John Eustin, aged woman, left leg crushed and chest injured; Mrs. Cornellus Sullivan, spine injured and left leg crushed; Mary Gaiber, chest crush- ed and hurt internally; Mrs. Michael Kel- ling, injured internally; Mrs. Kate Died- rick, both legs broken and hurt internally; John Fieldcamp, hurt internally; Mrs. Mar- garet Macbert, hurt :nternally. Those badly injured, but who will recover, are: Nellie Dottard, Nicholas Wagner, Leo Theobald, Colonel W. I. Brown, Mrs. John Fox, Mrs. William Du Burgett, Mrs. Mary Latimer, Mrs. Jacob Keefer, John Martin, John Eustin, Mrs. M. Bruce, William Ryan, Many others were severely bruised. The accident was due to defective tim- bers, The contractor was told that the platform was insecure, but said it would hold all the people that could be crowded upon it. Despite the accident the services were continued and the laying of the corner stone was completed. SSS DIED OF A CAT’S BITE. me Six Weeks After e Injury. William Greenwald, who was bitten by a cat six weeks ago, died yesterday morning at Gouverneur Hospital, in New York. The official report of his death gives the cause as hydrophobia. The physicians who at tended him say that the boy's symptoms were unmistakable. According to the story told by the mem- bers of his family, William was bitten, on or about August 25, by a pet cat, which appeared at the time to be mad. The cat came into the house one evening and began rushing about the room in a frantic man- ner. When the elder tireenwali attempted to drive the cat out, the animal seized him by the leg. The boy, William, grabbed the cat to pull it away from his futher, and was bitten in the palm of the left hand. The uproar caused by the cat's actions brought a neighbor to the scene, and before the cat was driven out of doors two others were bitten. A crowd of small boys, who had gathered in the street, took charge of the cat as soon as it em2rged from the house, and finally stoned it to death. The bitten persons were not especially alarmed. They had no ilea that the cat was afflicted with rabies, as it freyuently had ugly fits, and acted in a frantic man- ner. As @ measure of safety, however, they trooped to the office of a physician, where their wounds were catitérized. All of the wounds healed nicely, and nothing more was thought of the matter until last Tuesday, when young Greenwald began complaining of pains in his left arm and shoulder. He said that there was a numb feeling in the arm and exhibited great nervousness. : The boy after being removec to Gouver- neur Hospital had several convulsions, and grew weaker with each one, until he finally expired. It was learned that the youth’ sufferings must have been intense, and that during the convulsions It was necesrary to strap his limbs to the bedposts. The statement filed by che house surgeon of the hospital says that the patient suf- fered from convulsions, tnat there were se- vere spasms of the larynx, a burning een- sation in the chest, and marked sulivation. The pupils of the eyes we dilated. The sight of water did not prodace convuisions, but it was impossible for the patient to drink water. There was some swelling of the arm, but no discoloration, as would have resulted from blood poisoning. A DURRANT DISCOVERY. Hydrophobia One Witness Did Not Tell All He Knew ‘When He Was on the Stand. The prosecution in the Durrant murder trial at San Francisco is said to have in its possession information which will final- ly shatter’the last remnant of the alibi which Durrant’s attorneys have attempted to prove. W. R. Dorr, a student in the Cooper Medical College, sat alongside of Durrant at the lectures. When examined with the other members of the class, Dorr testified that he did not know whether Durrant was present at the afternoon lecture on April 3 or not. Dorr’s father, who is a prominent physt- cian, informed the police, however, that in bis own home and to the members of his own family young Dorr stated that on the afternoon of April 3 Durrant’s seat was occupied by a student named E. Barry. He added that the student who that day answered to Durrant’s name occupied one of the rear seats in the class room, The communication made in his own family was not accompanied by any injunction of secrecy. It was not until all the students, includ- ing Dorr, on the witness stand, had denied Knowledge of the important fact of Dur- rant’s presence or absence that those who had heard the story concluded to 8ommun- icate with the district attorney. It is pre- sumed that Dorr, in common with other of Durrant’s fellow-students, desired as far as possible to protect their former class- mate and so avoided answering pertinent questions by responding, “I do not know.” It is now considered certain that Dorr will be recalled to the stand and required to tell all the truth concerning the events in the college class room on the fatal after- noon of April 3. ——__+e+-____ A Bright Thought Valuable.

As the car containing the bell stood in the open street, surrounded by the High School cadets and the eager crowd of citizens, the representatives of the Con- tinental Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution mounted the car and presented their beautiful bunch of roses with a short, pleasing address from the regent, Mrs. M. A. Ballinger. The mayor of Philadelphia responded most gracefully, and said he had issued an order permitting the Daughters of the American Revolution in Philadelphia to hold their meetings henceforth in Independence Hall. He be- lieved in the progress of women and in the society of the “Daughters,” which Mrs. Ballinger wittily responded, “If there wet no ‘daughters’ there would be no ‘sons. Two ladies of the chapter then tied the flowers on the old bell by white and blue ribbons, the red of the roses forming the tricolor; so the bell left this clty decorated with a suitable offering, conspicuous to all observers along the route. The mayor of- fered his own badge to Mrs. Ballinger, and similar ones were given to the other mem- bers of the chapter. The national society, so far from feeling any jealousy over th matter, were glad that one of their chap- ters had remembered to pay the tribute which, in the haste of the arrangements, the others had overlooked.
