Tho girl, ‘when he and his companions left, was ly— Ing In the front rocm on the floor. The blanket was not put around Nettle How- ard by Thompeon. Poterson and Hassinger, who were companions of Bolle on that night, offered substantially the eame testimony. The next witness W. H.

This ratio of in- crease will be very nearly maintalned during the entire year.” “Is this increaso particularly noticea- ble on any one item?” “‘Yes, on liquor stamps sold. You will observe that last February, for example, the revenuc from the sale of spirils amounted to $83,310.30, while this year for a corraspendlng perlod, the sum was $122,000. To what is this large Incresse attributable? Very largely to fhe fact that since last February, the Nebraska City distillery has etarted up, thus a‘- fording o large additional revenuc from this source. It is qu'te Interesting to note that the collections on tobacco have fallen off con- siderably this year. kaow.

He could not have notlcsd it. however, or else, what is less likely, he did not care to heed, for shortly afterward, just a mo- ment before the traln came down upon him he step upon the track sgain, in order to plck up a chunk of coal.

Dean Millspaugh was assisted In the eer- vice by Rev. John Williams of St. Barna- bas and Rev. James Paterson of St. Marke. The two hymns choten by the late bishop to be sung at his faneral, “‘O Paradise” and “‘Jerusalem the Golden,” were sung most effectively by the choir, the congregation jolning. There was no address; when the dean stopped in the prayer for a moment after the words “All bless Thy holy name for all Thy servants depatted this life in Thy faith and fear,” undoubtedly many a prayer went up ask- ing for grace to follow his good example. After the service the flowers wero placed on the bishop’s grave, which /s under the window of the eouth trantept. Rl A FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION. ONE MAN LLOWN TO ATOMS, ANOTHER KILL STROYED, BrapronD, Pa., March 11.—The heaviest nitro-glycerine explosion ever known in the oil country, whereln nearly 6,000 pounds of the dread aunihilator were touched of, oc: cusred yesterday noon at Howard Junction, threomiles north of Bradford. There are lo cated the factory, magazine, and other buildipgs of the Rock Glycerino Mannfacturiog Company, 1wo men, H. V. Pratt, an employe, and W. H. Herrington, one of the_proprietors, were at'work in the building, Tho latter had re- cently purchased an interestin the firm and was just learning the businese, How the ac- cldent occurred will never bo known, bt ob- servers ot Ouster City, about hali a mfle away, state that two almost simultancous flashico woro followed by a deafening roport and white smoke, and large boulders and quantities of debris were thrown high in the air, Rushing down to the scene, they found that the destruction had b ppalling and com- plete, Where the factory had been there was now & large circular hole ten_feet deep, while at the place where the magazine was located a hole twenty-five feet in depth and thirty to forty feet in diametér was scooped out of the ground as neatly as if it had been the work of & professional excavator, On the bushes and trees for many rods around were found fragmentary particles of flesh and spatteriogs of blood, These were all that was left of the mortal remains of youog Herrington, He was & man weighing Dearl, ), and, altogether, less than three polmgl of 'his body could be picked up, It was supposed that a eiwmilar fate had overtaken Pratt, but his corpse was found where it had been blown in the underbrush, & distance of 200 feet. Remarkable to state, while every bons in his body was broken by the great force of the concussion, his skin was intact, Of the factory and other buldiogs, the largest pieces that were found were no larger than a lead pencil, They were literally anni- hilated. Thbe explosion was [plainly heard in all parts of Bradford and houses were shaken s from aa carthquake, Herrington formerly resided at Sprivgboro, Crawford county, where his parents live, Pratt came here from loss will exceed $5,000. ¢ | They will inwmediately rebuild, Aportion of one of Herrington's srms was found 1,(00 feet awsy lodged in a trec. Houses were shattered and window-panes broken in Bradford and surroundiog towne. Trees were uprcoted and eil-rigs in the vicin- ity were leveled to the ground Nag o Al S oun Population of Chins, The vexed question of the extent of the population of China seems to have been pretty definitely sstiled by Sir Richard Temple, the eminent Eoglish geographer and scholar, 1n 8 lecture re- ocently delivered by him befcre the Sta- tistical soclety of London. The number Jast published by the government way about 350,000,000, but the Inaccaracy of fts consvses s shown by the constant variance in_ its roports. ita previous census being no less than 463,000,000. In determining his results Sir Richard Temple applies the ceneus methods used In Indis, which have been very acuurate, andwhich he justifies because the srea of the two countrles is just about the same, India and China proper each having about 1,- 500,000 equare milee, while both countries are under similar phys! technical, cii- matic and goographical conditions, and there is the enme teudensy to mulliply in each. The entire Chinese Empira conts nearly 4,600,000 square miles, of which China proper (that is, excludiog the cen- tral plateau, which is comparaively b ron and sparsely populated) has one-third, sapporing an immense population. The average of population in Indis fs 184 to the square mile, the area being 1,337 sqoare mifes and the population 309. Applying this averaga to O proper, the population would be 282, 101.600. The most densely populated of the elghteen provinces is that of the Pechill, which contains tho two great oltles of Pekin and Tisn-Teln, and which hws 18 200,000 souls, Estimatlog the population of the central plateau at 15,- 100,000 and addiog to it the 282,000,000 of China proper, the lecturer sct down the entire population at 207,000,000, In round numbere, therofore, the' Celestisls probably number aboat 300,000,000, or ,000,000 lers than the Chinese officlals olaim. A speclally Interesting feature of these statistics ls their corractlon of cerlaln imprestions which hava always been held regarding the vastness of the Uhinese Empire. It has always been acoepted without question that China was the largest empire in the world so far as population was concerned, whereas, if these e es are in any way correct, the reputation of that em. ];‘ire very little exceeds that of the Britlsh Cmpite, thongh far greater than that of France and her colonies; while the equal- 1y prevalent impression that the Buddhists far outnumber the Christlan population of the world is equally incorrect, the disparity being very considerably reduced. As a matter of intorest in this connectlon it may be stated that the British Em- pire numbers roundly about 250,000,000, of which 214,050,577 belong to her col- onfes, while France with her colonle can muster only 43,562,493, of which b, 800,445 belong to ber cclonies. How much she will add to this number after she gets through with her present war with the 300 million Celestials remains to be seen. e — A WASHINGTON HOME, Residence of Hon, 8, 8, Cox, on Du- pont Circle. No. 1, Dupont circle, writes a Wash- ington correspondent to the Toronto Mall, is a pretty bijou of ahouse owned by the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. 8. 8. Cox, of of New York. Everybody knows *‘Sun- get” Cox, or ‘‘Sunthine,” to which his political friends say the nickname must now be changed, slnce the democratic curtaln is about to ringup. He is the wit of thehouse and (has reigned with ever-increasing power sincs 1857. Mr. Cox is the well-known author of many well-known books, 1s a conatant contrib- utor to magazines, and makes racy speeches in the house on the “‘stump,” and ‘‘after dinner.’ His books are *“Why We Laugh,” ‘“‘Sunbeams,” **Arctic and Orlent,” “The Buckeye Abroad,” “A Search for Winter Sunbeams in the Riviere, Corsica, Algiers and Spain.” There i3 also a brechure on ‘‘Free Trade,” and endless volumes @f ‘‘Speeches in Congress,” and all have the distinctive mark of the anthor’s ganfus of wit, keen kuowledge of humsn nature, snd that 0 dramatic knack of bringing the dle- tant and forelgn to the reader’s presence and comprenenslon. For the rest, kMr, Cox commenced public life as an editer, ay he isan Ohio man, and what further that Is complimentary can be eald of a man save that he isa gentleman, Mr. Cox s short of stature, slight of frame, dresses with great care, and i3 swift and nervous ir his motions. In all human probability he will take'a high placy in Mr. Cleveland's government. But I commenced to tell about the house. It is Queen Anne, with a round tower on the corner, a romantic portico, and numerous great and small windows of stained glass that throw lovely tinted lights in the rooms. The facade Is of green sorpentine stone from Pennsylva- nia, which makes it look extremely odd and eltogether unique. As you enter its exuisite portals there is a small recep- tlon rocm on the left. The walls of this room are colorad Pompeian red, which make a sympathet'c backgroundfor a few water colors. ‘‘Ths Vermillion Towers of the Alhambra,” and another showiog the yellow stucco pil'ars, which is the prevailing coler through the castle in the “Court of Liona” in the Albambra, velng the prettiest. A marine view by Blecoe occupies cne wall, and the model of the Alhambra porti- co hangs over a small writing- desk. In the bow of the window s an old chair of English osk, covered with Spanish Cordova leather. In another recess I8 a quaint old chair from the house of representatives that was saved from the flames when the capitol was burned in 1814, The celling is tinted in aerial blue, and birds of bright plumage, gay butterflies, and swallows are winging thelr flight overhead, It is a pretty con- celt, and glves a suggestion that anyone can utilized. The birds and butterfl'es are cut from cards and pasted on the celling, They could, of "course, be palnted. We cross the hall to enter the drawing-room, which Is an oblong room with the door at one side, and at the end it opens into the dining-room. This ex- quisite houee is a souvenir house, almost, a8 Mr. Cox keeps the home in New York clty always open.

The furniture is upholetsred in blue velvet brocade, and about pictures and arm.chairs are hung embrolderles from Con- stantinople, The mantels are works of fine art covered in wood ahd inlaid with Mintontiles. There are cabinets under the shel the sides, which ara filled with cariozities from abroad, a tea-bottle from Beyroot, s saucer from Holland decorated with postage stamps, Egyptian work, cheroots and sword canes from an Arab’s bazaar in Damaceus, oatd-holders in Russian por phyty.
