About tbe eaves and cornices, dripping with moisture, are rotting edges of fanciful woodwork, and tbe imposing steps sink soddenl; under the tread, it is a picture of decayed eeniiKcv. tso am i una it a flows; babita--tion for its inhabitants. An old lady was trying to make a fir of damp, cheap coal, and pat on another lamp rroni toe scanty supply la tbe market basket as entered. "It's cold, dear. At least there Is a fire to keep warm by.

Hy daughter has gone over to toe Hospital." tbe sick "Oh, yes; she's sick. Her husband died of catarrh of the stomach and she baa the dis ease from him. It Is nearly four years since no aiea." "What work does she dor "Nothing. Bbe is like a dead woman now. After her husband died she came to ns with her four children.

We kept a lodging boose then and gave her the top floor. But we lost money and had to mortgage the furniture to get out. Then we lost it all and now have nothing. I was too old to keep the house right. I am 64 and my husband 68.

He is io the hospital for sciatica, and bad. He will never Ao any more." "But what do vou live on?" "The little boy, who is 10 years old, is a cash boy, and get? ti.80 a week. That is all there is. Tbe Relief society has paid tbe rent "No, there only that little coal you see in the basket, and a little bread. The boy should have better food, be works so bard, and tbe other children cannot keep warm." "is your daughter warmly clothed "She never complains.

She sits and look at tbe fire and at the children, and says notn-ing, only goes off to bed and lies there like one dead. She eats nothing and is in such pain. Sometimes she cannot speak for ths pain. The boy is a brave little fellow." There was some good furniture that cost perhaps $300, but which has been used so long it would not sell for $30. This belonged to the widowed daughter, and is all that is left out of the wreck of the fortunes of two families.

A ueighbor was interviewed concerning them. "Ah! that is a tad case. I should like to see tbe mother die iu peace. She cant live long. The grandfather is in the hospital and the grandmother feeble.

They are proud and refined and wholly destitute. The brave little fellow plods all this long distance to his work and gives all his money to his mother. He could not have kept his place, his clothes were so bad, but the Relief society dressed him so be could remain. You cannot exaggerate this case if you use every adjective at your command. I give them what I can, but it is a big family.

The widowed mother should go to bed and stay there till death re-leases her. But the hunger of her children urges her to wander out whenever she can stand to try to do There were tears In the good woman's eyes. Nora Marks in Chicago Tribune. Between the Acts. I was much amused by the conversation of a quaint old farmer, a veritable Joshua Whitcombf who sat at a table adjoining mine in a downtown restaurant the other day.

He had never been in the city before, he said, and be was exuberant in praising the electrio lights, the Brooklyn bridge, the elevated roads and a hundred and one other things of modern creation. He talked confidentially to the waiter of some of tho things he had kseen, and 1 overheard him say: -xour tneatres neat any Diamed circus 1 ever seen. 1 was at one the other nieht. and right in the most interestin' part they let down an oil paintin' in front. Men got up an' went out.

I didn't know what it meant till I looked at a piece of paper with the play actors' names on It and seed that twentv-four hours elapsed between acta 1 and Then 1 went out, too. Last night at 9 o'clock 1 went back there, just twenty-four hours later, an' I'll be geebawed if they didnt commence right where they left tbe nieht before.

Tor Irrproremente mm the Rarla of the New Tork CeatrmL Nsw York, Jan. 10. Two millions of dollars is the amount of money that the New York Central and Hudson River railroad is going to spend on improvements to the Harlem division of its system. It is intended to build an entirely new four-track road from Mott Haven to Bedford Park, a distance of about seven miles, and for a distance of four and a half miles the new road will be depressed twelve to fourteen below the road-bed of the existing Harlem railroad. The depression of the tracks has already been begun at a point about 500 feet from One-Hundred and-Thirty-Eighth street, and will be continued to a point about 2,000 feet above or north of Hedzord rark station, and near Jerome Park, thus giving the company every facility for running trains to and from the race track without interfering with the local traffic.

Nearly 2,000 men are engaged In inak tbe improvements. and it is calculated that the work will be completed within a year. When finished there will be four tracks all the way from the Grand Central station to Wood-lawn Junction. SIOXOB BLITZ. The Once Versatile Little Man Mow a Hoples Imbecile.

New York, Jan. 10. Signor Blitz, whose merry manners, clever conjuring, and versatility in ventriloquism entertained the young and old of a quarter of a century ago, is now at Brooklyn hospital awaiting transfer to the asylum as a hopeless imbecile. He is the victim of paralytic dementia, to the statement of his wife, who accompanied him to the hospital, had fifteen paralytic strokes. The little man, whose smile was contagious and whose quaint foreign manners were especially delightful to the little ones, has had flashes of his former genius, but flashes only.

Marie Van Zandt.t he prima donna, is the granddaughter of the Signor, and was born in this city. Signor Blitz, when taken to the hospital, innocently offered to give an entertainment for the benefit of the institution. Harrington's Moustache. London, Jan. 10.

The entry made by Dr. Morehead in the visiting book of Tullamore jail concerning the cutting off of Edward Harrington's moustache, sayB: "I think the rules with regard to clipping or shaving the beards of prisoners for purposes or cleanliness, completely cover the case so far as the prison officials are concerned, but in the case of Mr. Harrington the clipping was perfectly unnecessary and a gra tuitions in- Mr. Harrington wore an enormous moustache, of which he was very proud, and the prison authorities in removing it are generally regarded as having been inspired by a desire to humiliate him. Morton a Member of the Firm.

Confession of the Murder of McClure and Flannigan. A MURDEROUS ITALIAN TKIO. "B4 Sum Mike" Details How RU Companion ghot the Paymaster and Assistant Race After the Rnnaway Hon to Seeure the Booty. Wilkesbaere, Jan. 10.

Th Daily Newsdealer publishes "Red Nost confession in fulL He says: "I met McClure and Flannagan sixty vards from the scene of the murder. McClure said, I said nothing. When the carriage passed me I walked quietly behind, so ns to be well up when the firing commenced. McClure was killed first by Bevinino. Villilla stood further up the road and shot Flannagan, killing him instantly.

The horse ran away, and we thought we had lost the money, but Devine, who is a good runner, caught up with the horse and shot him. Villilla got scared when he killed Flannagan, and threw down the gun and fled through the woods. I and Bevinino took the satchel out of the buggy and escaped through the woods. We would have killed Contractor McFarley had he come on the scene. One man would not have stopped our work.

My accomplices are now in Italy." The correct names of the murderers are Michael Rizzello, alias Nose Mike," Guiseppe Bevinino, and Vincenzo Villilla. On the Mississippi. Washington, Jan. 10 A supplemental report of the Mississippi commission was laid before the house. The commissioners made a personal inspection of the river, the first time they have had the opportunity in three years, at Lake Providence and Plum Point reaches, where the difficulties of navigation have been greatest.

They say the low water depths have increased from six to twelve feet, with a prospect of further improvement. The work of bank-building is not entirely completed at Plum Point reach, and Sile dykes must still be maintained. At emphis the building of a system of spur dykes has given much satisfaction. It is now thought that with the monev on hand the trouble at Memphis will be avoided in the future. At Vicksburg work is progressing well.

It will take two years to finish it. Plans have been perfected for the protection of the river banks at Columbus, Hickman, Helena, and other points. Niagara Fall Changing. Niagara Falls, 10. A large mass of rock fell from the precipice of the horse shoe or Canadian falls Friday, and Tuesday night smaller pieces broke away.

The noise made by the falling rock alarmed the residents in the vicinity on the Canadian side. The massive stone building known as Table Rock house, was jarred to such a degree that the doors were thrown open and the occupants, who had retired, jumped out of bed greatly excited by the noise and the vibration of the building, thinking it was a shock of earthquake. The effect of these displacments on the contour of the falls is quite marked, the change being to form an angle to the original horse shoe. Ueport from Admiral Luce. Washington, Jan.

10. Another report was received at the navy department from Admiral Luce about affairs in the West Indies. The report will not be made public for a day or two, or until after copies have been handed to the state department, but it is understood to contain nothing startling that has not already been covered with press dispatches from Kingston. As the report was mailed from Kingston prior to the departure of the Yantic, it contains no allusion to breaking out of yellow fever on that vessel. A Peremptory Removal.

A cyclone truck this city shortly after 5 o'clock, demolishing a number of builings, including Grimshaw Bros, large Bilk milL In the latter were upwards of two hundred operators who were buried in the ruins. At 9:80 o.clock aBout one hundred persons had been taken out, many of whom were dead. It is impossible to obtain a list of the injured at this hour, but it is known that the killed and injured will exceed 150. The storm swept down the Lebanon Valley railway and many barns and other property are reported wrecked. The telegraph wires in tho track of the storm were badly mixed up, and it is impossible to get details, but it is known that great damage has been done.

When the cyclone first struck Beading, the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad comr pany's paint shops were unroofed and in less than ten minutes the entire structure was enveloped in flames. Several gas chambers underneath the passenger cars exploded, and four per is were killed and several others badly injured. The killed are: George SchafTer, Sheridan Jones, Albert Laydonberger and John Kohler. The storm then continued eastward, dealing out destruction in its path Nine dwellings on North Eighth and Marion streets were unroofed and otherwise badly damaged. The cyclone cut a swath of about 250 feet and everything in its way was either leveled to the ground or very badly wrecked.

The next building in its track was the immense silk mill of Grimshaw located at One Hunderd and Twentieth and Marion streets. This building was filled with several hundred operatives and not a single soul escaped uninjured. The structure, which was four stories high and 200x70 feet, is a mass of ruins. Not a single brick remains of the beautiful building except the stock and engine room. The fire department was called out, and 10,000 men, women and children assembled about the wrecked milt The cries of the wounded and dying and their friends was heartrending.

Willing hands, however, quickly set to work, and at 9:45 o'clock some seventy persons had been taken out. Twelve of these were dead and many fatally injured. Those who were less seriously hurt were taken to their homes, while those -who -received more serious injuries were taken to the hospitals. It will take till morning before all the killed and wounded can be gotten out. DESTRUCTION AT PITTSBUKO.

A SoYoni-Story Building Demolished, With Awful Result Attending. Pittsburg, Jan. 10. There waa an awful castastrophe at 12:30 Wednesday afternoon. Tho high wind that struck the city at that hour completely demolished the large building in process of construction in Diamond alley, near the corner of Wood street, immediately in tho rear of Wilder Co.

la store. The building was as far up as the seventh floor, and is a complete wreck, and as it went down it crushed in its fall the barber shop next door. The force of the crushing building was thrown against Welder store and pushed the front into Wood street. The whole street in front of Wilder's is full of debris. At 9:30 the dead body of a colored boy, name unknown, was taken out and removed to the morgue.

A few moments later tho elevator boy, James Garing, employed in Wilder store was removed. He was unconscious and is probably fatally injured. A rescuing party is engaged tearing away the foundation wall from under another part of Wilder's building. Voices calling for assistance are heard at frequent intervals. The following is a list of the killed as report at police headquarters up to 4 Hn inuoT fipririger7 taken 6uFdf the wreck dead, W.

W. McKeon, still in the wreck, believed to lie dead. Samuel Brown, lying dead under steam boiler. Charles Fritch, apprentice in barber shop, suffocated, Goettmann, still covered by debris. Three men, names unknown.

L. Reed, one of the oldest plivsicians in the city, was on the second floor of the Wilder building. lie was caught by the falling wall and is lying dead under the elevator cage in the cellar. The elevator boy in Wilder's store is also pinned beneath the elevator. For a long time his agonizing cries for relief could be heard.

His voice has not been heard for nearly an hour, and he is thought to be dead. Among the pitiful sights to be seen at the ruins are tlie feet of the two men sticking up through the debris. It is impossible to get to them until a trembling wall that appears to be ready to fall has been secured. The imprisoned victims are undoubtedly dead. It is believed there are three other persona buried near the mme place.

George L. Hollidav, who had an office in the rear of the Wilder building. Is among the missing, and it is feared that bo has been killed. Mr. Ilollidny ia president of the Pittsburg Select Council and one of the most prominent citizens of the city.

Tho following is a complete Ikrt of tho Injured up toV p. at tho Homeopathic hospital. Many of them will dial UrU-rt, aad teak out The Beautiful Engraving of the Cele Curdy, Lambert and McKee. It is generally believed the cause of the collapse of the new Wilder building is as much attributable to the poor quality of mortar and material used in the construction of the walls as to the force and power of the wind. The contractor on the work, as well as the city inspector, come in for condemnation on all sides.

At this hour (midnight) the officials and citizens are still hard at work, as it is known that there are other persons under the debris. The voices heard earlier in the evening have not been heard for over an hour. All possible efforts are being made to reach the spot from which the appeals for aid were last heard. The dangerous condition of the surrounding walls compels the greatest care on the part of the rescuers. Work will be continued through the night by aid of electric that have been provided.

The wind is again increasing and the temperature is falling rapidly. The storm possessed every feature of a tornado. United States Signal Officer Stewart says that the storm came from the southeast. It made its first appearance in Texas on Monday, reaching Arkansas on Tuesday, and struck Chicago at 8 o'clock on Wedneeday morning. The storm then swerved in a direct line for Pittsburg, which however, escaped the greatest severity, as the track of its force lay northwest of this city.

Just before the storm struck this city the barometer reached 29.08, the lowest point reached here since the establishment of the signal service in this city. At 12:80 o'clock he velocity of the wind was 14 miles an hour. Five minutes later it had attained 2-3 milee, which rapidly increased in force, and the greatest velocity that of 40 miles an hour, waa reached, at 12:45. After the first shock, lasting only five minutes, the fury of the wind subsided, and at 12:55 had decreased to 82 miles an hour. Pittsburg was never before visited by a storm so furious.

There was also a remarkable change in temperature. Between 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock the temperature changed from 64 degrees to 40 degrees. The new Iron City Nut works' building at the corner of Forty-sixth and Hadiield was entirely demolished by the wind. William Hunz, a ship-rigger, Was instansly killed. Loss on building $10,000, insured.

A telegram from Willlamsport, says: "A cyclone struck this city at 4 o'clock. It wrecked the foundry department of the Demorest Sewing Machine company; loss, $10,000. A portion of the Mankey decorative works was unroofed; loss $3,000. Two new dwelling nouses were wrecked. No lives lost." At Carlisle.

Carlisle, Jan. 10. About 8:80 a terrible cyclone struck this city and destroyed thousands of dollars worth of property, and probably fatally injured several persons. The roof of the Industrial training school was blown off; windows smashed and broken. The damage to the school will reach $5,000.

The city armory and Pretzo's stables were blown down, telephone and electrio light wires were broken, and the town is in total darkness. A lady named Mrs. Stover, and several others, whose names can not yet be learned, were severely if not fatally injured. The reports from the surrounding country indicate a severe loss to the farmers. Barns, stables, houses and fences were blown down.

OHIO. Cleveland, Jan. 10. A wind storm has raged here all day with terrific vio lence, blowing down trees and signs. partially unroofing some dwellings and breaking a good deal of glass.

The ohicter was lower at an early hour than at any time within thirty years. About 11:30 a tremendous gust of wind, approx- juiaungmq-violence- pi a gaie, was such that buildings rocked and great alarm was felt for their safety. From all over northern Ohio come reports of great damage wrought by the wind. At Ravenna, P. Dory's brick kiln blew in, completely wrecking it, with valuable molds.

At Akron trees were prostrated and dozens of windows smashed. In Carroll county, a number of houses were unroofed and a very heavy, dark storm cloud swept to the southeast about noon. The telephone and telegraph service is badly crippled in this section of Ohio. Cincinnati, Jan. 10.

The. high winds blew down 100 feet of tbe Cincinnati base ball park fence and a portion of the roof of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton depot. A large $200 plate glass window in the Methodist book concern on West Fourth street was blown in. At Columbus the wind blew for a couple of hours and at one time reached a velocity of 48 miles an hour. A huge chimney on the penitentiary was blown down and crushing through the roof of the secretary's office, demolished the dek which E.

L. Harper, but a moment before, left to look at the havoc being doue by the storm in the penitentiary yard. At Ironton a very heavy rain and wind at o'clock in the morning tangled up the telephone wires and destroyed many shade trees. At Portsmouth the storm raged during i the forenoon. The roof of Nichols furniture works was blown oil.

At Bellaire the most destructive rain and wind storm for years peesed over that section about 11 o'clock. Houses, stable, outbuildings and orchards were blown down.
