rax CAPITOL FIKK. Althangh Rev. Dr. Swallow has been part'y defeated be is still undismayed and will carry bis case to the superior court. Be seems to be satisfied also that the fire which destroyed the state capitol waa of incendiary origin.

He is not in this opinion although it may never be brought to light fully bow the fire originated or for what purpose the 'inilding was destroyed. Nevertheless Rev. Swallow has determined to find out if he can and for that purpose offers a reward of one thousand dollars for infor- "mation that will be of service in making the discovery. If the building caught fire in an accidental way there should have been little difficulty in oroving it at the time when Bev. Swallow made his charge, before any of the ruins were removed and when a number of witnesses might have been secured.

Unfortunately very little if any (dart was made in that direction and the matter now is a mystery as much as ever. If there are any persons who have positive information on the subject they have an opportunity of earning a thousand dollars in a very easy way. If it should happen that proofs be far- Dished showing that the building was deliberately set on fire then it naturally fol. Iowa that it was done jr a purpose, and tho next important thing will be to ascertain what the purpose waa. If any crookedness bad been carried on and the building was destroyed for the purpose of removing evidence the fact should be made known and the guilty ones punished, whoever they may he.

Let the full truth be known about that fire, so that the minds of tbe people may be satisfied. Many of them have grave doubts about it although tbey dire not express their honest convictions. Turn the on in full eo that tbe truth may be discovered. Tbe state officials should assist Bev. Swallow in securing evidence if any exists.

TBE SIMOX DILL. The Simon bill, to which we have already ralle.i attention, ia intended, if it rhould become law, to prevent any borough or city frotn undertaking any public service, except water, until it has bought out all companies within ita limits which may have franchisee for performing the same kind of service, and would apply to gas works as well as electric light plants. The Trades League of Philadelphia is making strenuous efforts to influence Governor Hastings eo that be will not approve the bill and it is to be hoped the league will be successful. It has been well argued that "new companies could be charteteii as fast as the old ones were bought no, nnd they would be chartered if the schemers 6aw tbe cimnc' of getting the towns-people in a corner with a lot of money invested in tbe plants of existing companies aud with no power to use them or to start a public plant until the last paper company, organized to sell itself, had been bought out." additional burdens ia to be thrust upon the taxpayers of the ttate, for any public good but in order that the politi cal boss may tbe more securely entrench himtelf ia ptwe-, for every new offite holder appointed by the direction cf Senator Quay will be one more henchman added to the army of ich workers be baf all ever tbe ttite who are ready at all times to the bidding of their master. This is the way of political bosses generally and this is why the people are so much opposed to them wherever they may Senator Quay used to be a leader in the party and had many friends and admirers.

In late years he has become a domineering bom, seeking only hi interest and caring only for lelf and that the reason why sa many who formerly were friendly now are bitterly opposed to him. Boseism is inimical to tbe well-being of the people and must be overthrown. STYLES IN MEN'S NECKWEAR Few Noreltiel to Mark tbe For the Season. "There was never a season that brought forth fewer novelties in neckwear," said the salesman, "and the man who is looking for some style that is entirely new will have to go somewhere else than New York to find it Maybe he can get it in London, but I doubt that, for np to this time there has not come to this country the least indication cf anything novel there. This season's fashions are only little changed copies of what preceded them, and in all that have come under my notice there has been nothing distinctly novel.

"I should say that the most striking feature of tbe styles this year is the de- tcrtniued effort make popular the ties of silk stamped with Indian designs which made their appearance first about five years ago. Ever since that time they have been regarded in London as tlie smartest sort of scarf a man can wear. The same vogue came to this sort of goods in Boston, but here in New York the stuffs could never be made more than moderately fashionable. This year a larger stock of -theao ties has been put oh tbe market than ever before. Tlie nfter an enormous popularity, seems to have about bad its day.

In silks and line'ns it baa bad the field for four years now, but this summer there is likely to be less oeen of it. "Variations of tho Indian patterns are found in very striking contrasts of rather crude blue and red designs, usually in squares, but tbe small circles and mottled patterns still remain the best in these goods. Last enmmer a great number of the vivid striped ties worn by tbe English athletic clubs, as well as the regiments, were brought to this country, and although there were not enough of them to make tbe fashion very popular it undoubtedly bad its effect. This is plain enough to be seen in the scarfs this summer, and these English stripes, in, colors less vivid and in combinations considerably abated, are on the market. The firm that imported these striped tics last summer has brought over this year three or four times as many, and in a number of the ties these stripes are to bo seen in a form more adapted to the customs of New York life than the colors of an English athletic clnb.

These original ties were very popular for country wear, although they were-worn as well in New York. Not only iu the Ascots are these imitations of the English ties to be found, but in other string ties us well. "In the linen wash ties tbe stripe or tbe check is not an important question, ns the colors are rarely marked, enough to make the pattern distinctive. I should say, though, that man who wanted to wear what is most in accord with the summer fashion would be all right if he bongbt the red, yellow and blue india silk materials in the narrow string ties and the bright colored stripes in four in bando; In. the usnal blue and white tbere are this year some effected chiefly by an nnniual preponderance of white and the nse of a sort of Japanese effect in tho 'pattern.

But tho" old polka dot effects and the blue ground with the small white figure are today smarter and in more demand than these new patterns in the same class. They never vary very much winter or summer, save in material, year after year, mid the man who clings to them is not likely to uo far away from the best taste and the best style. The gay striped silks are occasionally worn as ascots, but this is not an easy fashion, the colors being BO gay ns to make "an effect too striking for good form save on a race track or a coach. "With the blue and white these English striped four in hands and the narrow string tics of india silk a man may be fairly sure that be is well dressed so far as his neckwear goes, and that iu not an unimportant part of New York Sun. TUE promised cooler weather arrived ia good time, but with the exception of refreshing rain showers, did not allbrd very much relief as the humidity has been excessive ever since and this has as much a depressing efleot as hot weather when the atmosphere is dry.

It is a mistake to think that because tbe suu'e rays are not so fierce or tbe temperature feels cooler persons need not be as careful of themselves as when the temperature ia very high. Those wh.i have made the subject a study declare that excessive humidity produces sunstroke or a derangement of the human syetem rather more readily than excessive hot weather. Especially during the dog days it ie advisable to pay attention to food nnd clothing and not to become unduly excited. OBNOXIOUS B03S METHODS. We now understand more fully why Senator Quay has Deen eo anxious to have Governor Hastings approve some of the bills passed by the last legislature.

We seethe statement made that tbe new mercantile tax bill, against which the merchants and businessmen of Philadelphia and other places are miking such strenuous efforts, would place at the dis- poeil of the next an general seventy- five tuercintile appraisers, the appointment of whom would be loft altogether ia his hands. It is admitted that the next auditor general will be nominated by the consent of Senator Quay and of course that gentleman would dictate who the new mercantile appraisers were to be. This would give him S3 much additional strength in the state and aid by so much in re-electing himself United States senator next winter.

Louisville, July and unique to a degree beyond any held for more than a score of years in Kentucky was the convention which yesterday and last night brought to Louisville from all parts of the "Bloody cround" the sturdy sons of Democratic forefathers with the purpose, as they put it. of sustaining true Democ- iacy and bringing back to the folds those men who have strayed after a silver idol.

The most prominent of Kentucky's statesmen were in attendance. There was almost a constant flow of oratory, led by Secretary Carlisle and Henry Watterson, of which nearly a thousand delegates did not waary. and eviry face revealed the zeal which was felt in the cause which led to as- wrnbling. It may be said, too, that firmly as they were Imbued with the principles which underlie their party of national Democracy, little of bitttr- towards free silver brothers foun-1 expression. While determined to fight without compromise or yielding the advocates of free silver, it was almost the unanimous conviction that the true spirit should consist in a tireless effort to "reclaim" those who had parted from them, and once again enable Kentucky and every state to present a.

Complete satisfaction with the work of the convention was to be read In the face and bearing of all of the delegates when final adjournment came, and confidence was freely expressed in the ultimate winning of a victory which would lead to a national success In the next' presidential contest. Hon. John R. Hlndman, of Adalr county, was unanimously nominated on the first ballot for clerk of the court of appeals.

Five Dodles Recovered Three Others Mlsslnjc-Oue of tho Victims Was Rescued From the Johnstown Flood, aud Married Iler Rescuer. Foughkeepsie, N. July two large reservoirs the Fishkill mountains which supplied- water to th-t towns DL Matteawan and Fishkill burst their walls at 2 o'clock yester- I day morning, and the water that was released swept through the Duchess valley, causing ruin and death. Five bodies have been taken from the wreckage left in the wake of the flood, there are known to be two and i probably three more lying somewhere beneath the piled up debris, which is all that remains of three houses that were swept away by the mighty tor- rent. The names of those whose bodies have been recovered, as officially given out by Coroner H.

B. Bevier, of Mat- teawan, are: Mrs. John Conroy, aged 36, wife of the engineer in Timoney's brick yard. Her body was badly bruised by contact with trees and wreckage, and was covered with mud. Mrs.

Mary Ferry, aged 38 years, a widow. Her body was in the worst condition all the victims, being covered with mud and bruises. William Ferry, aged 9 years, son of Mrs. Ferry. The body was in good condition, except for bruises about the head.

John Sruka, a Hungarian, 28 years old. Philameua Deluka, an Italian girl, 6 years old. The body was unmutllated. The missing are: John Conroy, aged 2 years, a son of Engineer Conroy: Julia Conroy, aged 6 years, a daughter of Engineer Conroy; an unknown Hungarian, whose brother declares that he was drowned. There were two floods.

The first was not disastrous, but alarmed the inhabitants, most of whom left their houses. A short time later the second dam burst, pouring the flood down the mountain, carrying with a great mass of debris, parts of buildingQr etc. This struck the buildings in the rear of Timoney's brick yard. One was a boarding house, conducted by Patrick Murphy. This building contained five families.

A short distance from the Murphy boarding house was a building occupied by about 25 laborers, mostly Slavs, with a few Italians. From these two buildings the victims were taken. The body of Mrs. Mary Ferry was recovered yesterday afternoon, dug from mud and debris 10 feet deep. Thirty- five men worked all day in the ruins.

Mrs. Conroy, one of the lost, before her marriage lived at Johnstown, where the great flood occurred several years ago. She was rescued there by John Conroy, who afterwards married her. There are three of the Timoney brick yards. Two of them are badly damaged.

The north one, managed by Frank Timoney, is a total loss. The flood swept directly over the valley, carrying away everything but the sheds. The brlckmaking plant, wagons, carts, were swept across the railroad track into the river. At the northern yard were 60 arches of "green" brick, 45,000 in each arch. The water softened these, and let the whole down in a mass of clay.

A 12- arch kiln was burning. The flood put put the fire and partially ruined the brick. Most of the ruins have been searched over, and It is possible that some bodies have been swept into the river. The water still runs through the yard, which is covered to a depth of several feet with gravel, mud, trunks of trees, parts of wagons and like material, finding its way thence through a culvert into the river. The three buildings in which the laborers had quarters were totallv wrecked.

There is hardly a piece of wood two feet long anywhere. In the ravine there are great rocks, some of them weighing five to ten tons each, rolled down the mountain by the torrent. One rock, weighing ten tons at least, lies on the site of Murphv's boarding house. It Is supposed to be the one that knocked the house off its foundation. Frank Mc'iinnis, a 15- year-old boy, a machine tender In Timoney's vards.

was on the piazza of Murphy's house. He says the house broke in two. The flood carried the first half, with him clinging to it, down towards Hammond Freeman's yards, which ad.loin Timoney's. He went under several times, but managed, to swim, and was at length pulled out in an unconscious condition by Charles White, a fellow workman. He had not a stitch of clothing on when rescued.

His body was badly bruised, and he has a great on the face from the right eye across the mouth to the chin. When he recovered consciousness, half crazed, bo started for the water again, but was heM back. The Montreal express train arrived at the scene about three minutes after the accident, and was flagged through the efforts of M. H. Reilly.

an employe of Timoney's, who boarded at Murphy's. He thought nothing of the heavy rain storm until he heard somebody on the piazza, about 1:30, speak of the reservoir on the hill. After making Inquiries he apprehended danger, and went down to the track. Soon after- he heard a tremendous roar In the mountain, and then the crash of the buildings swept away. A freight train had just passed that portion of tho track and stopped below, having struck a rock that had rolled down the mountain.

hurried down the track and told the flagman that the roadbed was rovorod by the flood and he had bettor nag the express, whirh he did. Reilly lingered around until the flood had partially subsided. Then he saw something white In the rubbish, and, reaching down, pulled out the body of a little Italian girl. John T. Lundy.

of Matteawan, one of Timoney's employes, rescued Patrick Murphy and four little boys. He waded out to a building and carried them one by one to a place of safety. This was directly after the first wave. They had no more than got to the bank before the house was swept away. As soon as the excitement attendant upon the awful catastrophe had sub- tided the thoughts and conversation of the hundreds of people who had gathered at scene and of the residents of the twin villages of Fishkill Landing and Matteawan turned to the question of responsibility for the dls aster.

Morgan H. Hoyt, a member of the coroner's jury, said: "I believe that the Fishkill and Matteawan Water company will be held for criminal negligence. One of the dams at least has been notoriously unsound ever since II was built, ten years ago, and has been leaking all the time. The dam -was one half feet above the water and three and a half below, and built of cobblestones. People have been predicting its collapse ever since I have lived here." Similar expressions could be heard all around the village.

CONCESNWG COAL. etatistdoal Information on Produo tion and Consumption. Immense Ontpnt of European Conn- Product of the United Almost Equals That the L'nlted Kingdom.

An interesting 1 report has just been issued by the London board of trade containing a wealth of statistics as to the coal industry of tlie -world. It is pointed out thnt the country of Europe which has the largest production, alter the United Kingdom, is The quantity produced, however, in the latter country does not amount to half of what is at present produced in. tbe United Kingdom, the respective figures for 1S95 being, the United Kingdom 661,000 and the German empire tons. Next in point of production after Germany comes France, with 27,583,000 tons, or about a third of the production of Germany, while next again comes Belgium, where the amount of production is not very far behind that The average value ef the coal produced taken at the pit's mouth has compared very closely as regards the United Kingdom and Germany for several years past, being, in the United Kingdom, in 1892, 7s in 1S93. fa and in 1894, 6s 8d, and in Germany, in" 1892, 7s in 1893, 6s 8d, and in 1804, Gs In 1895, however, the value of the cool produced in Germany for the first time since 1887 distinctly above the price of British cool, tie average price in England in 1895 being fs 2 and in Germany 6s In 1887 the price of coal in England was 4s and in Germany 5s In France it will be observed that the average value lit the pit's mouth, was, ia 1893, 9s In 1894, 9s and in lOd, while In Belgium it was, in 1893, 7s in 1894, 7s 2 and in 1895, 7s The cost of production, certainly in France, nnd probably in Belgium also, is placed considerably higher than it is either In the UniteS Kingdom or in Germany.

It is desirable, however, to compare Ihe output in European countries with one other the United States. In the latter country the quantity of coal produced has in recent years increased distinctively, and indeed in the j-ear of 1893 it almost.eqnaJed the out- output of the United Kingdom, while the year of 1893 it almost equaled tfce ther increase, although the total outpot has not equaled that of the Kingdom, which, since 1893, has been very large. In the earlier years dealt with in the tables, 1883-5, the aver- nge output of the United States wes 103,000,00 tons; in the later years, 189S- The average output of Uie United Kingdom during the latter period waa tons. During the same period the coM of production of cool in the Unitefl States, which in 1883-5 was 6s Sd, fell in the years 1893-5 to 5s, or lower than the cost at the pit's mouth in either the United Kingdom or Germany. As regards the consumption of coal per head of population, as might be ex- pecfed, tbe highest proportion is found in those countries where steam traction 'nnd machinery worked by steam are mostly in use, such, as the United Kingdom, the United States and Belgium, nnd the lowest in thosecountries whero steam traction is, comparatively speaking, but little used, such as Kussia and Austria, In France the consumption of coal per head of population, for a country so far advanced in civilization appears at first sight to be very email, nnd amounts to only .915 of a ton per head, OB compared with 2.56 tons per Jiead in Belgium and 3.75 tons per head the United Kingdom; but this, as was stated in the first issue of these tables, may be accounted for in a great measure by the large quantity of fuel other sorts, such ns turf, wood and H-mite, which are all extensively used in that country.

The British colonies where the amount of coal consumed is highest are Canada and New. South Wales, where 1.16 tons and J.23 tons per head of the population are consumed respectively. The tables show that in. the case of the United Kingdom, Germany, Bel- gi'ura nnd the United States, these being Ore large coal-prodncing countries, might be expected, most of the coal consumed, if not the whole, is of native production. Of the.

remaining coun- tritts, Kussia consumes, roughly speaking, 79 per cent, of coal of native production, 17 per cent, of British coal and 4 j)cr cent, of coal the produce of other countries. In Sweden the vast proportion of the ooal 87 per cents of British origin, 10 per cent, of native production and the remainder, the production of other countries. In l-'rance 72 per cent, of the coal used is of native origin, 12 per cent, of British n.nd 16 per cent, the produce of other countries. In Spqjp the coal consumed Is, roughly speaking, half native and half British prodiuce, while in Italy almost the whole of the coal consumed is of British origin. In Austria-Hungary 67 per cents of the coal used is of native production, less than 1 pel cent, being of British production, and Hie remainder, or about 32 per the produce of other countries, chiefly Mall Gazette.
