A DEADLY CRASH.
One Man Killed and Another Receives
Pmbably Fatal Injuries.
NORRISTOWN, Pa, April 21.——At Spring
Mill Station, on the Schuylkill Valley
railroad, a coal train collided with a. shift-
ing engine, causing considerable damage
to property, the death of one man, and
serious injuries to others.
George Kirk, conductor of the coal train,
was taken out of the wreck with one leg
cut off and the other fractured. He was
sent to the Presbyterian hospital, with a
bare possibility that he would survive the
journey. William Girtz, rear brakeman of
the train, was found with a crushed skull
and lacerated wounds. He died in three
hours. His case was' a pitiful one. Ap-
parently unconscious of the situation,
Girtz raved like a madman until he sank
exhausted and expired.
The names of three men who sustained
minor injuries could not be learned, those
in possession of information being reticent
about giving it out.
’ In all seven gondola cars and a locomo-
tive were wrecked, the road bed for a con—
siderable distance torn up and the tracks
bent out of shape. Five of the cars were
.into a pile, a mass of splintered, broken
timbers, 'the two others, as though shot
from a catapult, being hurled over a fence
into a. field. The tender was forced into
the air as high as the top of the locomotive.
THE CHILEAN REFUGGE S.
They Leave Our Legation at Santiago
and One of Them Is Captured.
WASHINGTON, April 21,—Senor Don Ani-
bal Cruz, charge d’affalres of the Chilean
legation, informed Secretary Gresham that
Blendot Holly and Colonel Fuentes, the
Balmacedists to whom Minister Egan had
offered shelter at the American legation,
and whose surrender was demanded by the
Chilean authorities, had made their escape
from the legation. Fuentes was captured,
but Holly is still at large.
Secretary Gresham makes public a state-
ment in reference to these refugees in
which he says that a charge of violating
the municipal laws of the cduntry was
pending against the two men, and that
Mr. Egan was instructed that he should
cease sheltering them. It was not stated
at the department when these instructions
were transmitted to the minister, but it is
believed the decision of the secretary was
communicated to the refugees before they
left the legation building and attempted
to escape. The department officials de-
clined to state whether any information
relating to the action of the refugees had
been received from the minister. ‘
Progressive Euchre and Religion.
1‘ EASTON, April 21.—In the Lehigh pres-
bytery Rev. H. M. Voorhees, Of Delaware
Water Gap, in a. report upon the state of
religion, said the greatest drawback to
good work in the bounds of the presbytery
was progressive euchre. Efforts were made
to have him withdraw this, but he de-
clined to do so. Rev. Dr. Eckert, of Easton,‘
declared Mr. Voorhees was right. Rev. J.
F. Pollock, of Allentown raised a. breeze
by reflecting in a report upon congrega-
tions which made a grea ado in urging
other congregations to raise large sums
for aiding disabled ministers, but which
’did not raise much money themselves.
This comment was stricken out.
THE INTRODUCTION OF MENTHOL.
. ‘ It Was Utterly Unknown InvEng‘lnnd Twen-
ty-five Years Ago.
The medicinal use of menthol in China
. and Japan goes back into the dateless
ages. Isolated references to its applica
tion in the cast are met with here and
there in the records of western travelers
in those parts, but we shall probably
never know the name of its discoverer or
the early history ofits introduction.
We do not know with absolute cer—
tainty when and by whom menthol crys-
tals were first brought to the notice of
European pharmacologists. It is said that
they Were used pharmaceutically on the
continent as long a o as the end of the
last century, but if t 1: statement is cap-
able of proof the‘drug must have fallen
into oblivion shortly after its introduc-
tion, for it was certainly utterly. un-
known, even by repute, to most persons
in the drug trade 25 years ago. Some—
where about 1864~ a consignment of the
drug was received in London under the
name of Chinese peppermint oil and
passingly commented upon for its curious
property of solidifying with a fall in the
temperature. .
To the late John Mackay of Edinburgh
belongs the distinction of first having
called the attention of British pharma-
cists to the valuable properties of men«
thol. Mr. Mackay is believed to have
brough “po-ho oi ” with him from
Paris, where it‘ was then sold in the
small, red labeled Chinese bottles famil-
iar to eastern travelers as a kind of pro-
prietary article. .
Had menthol been an utterly valuele‘ss
medicine it would perhaps have taken
Europe by storm then and reigned for a
season, just long enough to gather a for-
tune for its first exploiter. But as the
drug happened to have a solid thera.
peutic value it had to wrestle through
the familiar stages of contumely, ridi-
cule, animosity and unreasoning popu-
larity, just like any new creed or re-
former.
The commercial interest of menthol
practically dates from - 1878, when an
English firm in Yokohama made a. small
shipment of it to I‘ondon, determined
not to rest until they had succeeded in
securing for the remedy a footing upon
the market. After many months their
shipment went back with a note from
the agents announcing that “the stuff"
could not be sold there, as no one knew
what to do with it. But the Yokohama
firm persevered, and they reaped their
reward. Four years later menthol crys—
tals were the rage of the season, selling
at 60 shillings per pound, wholesale, and
carried about in cone shape by all per—
tons with any pretense to the possemion
of a civilized nervous system-Chemist
and Druggist.
The Puzzle of “Society."
Talk about your puzzles—Chinese or
any other kind—the greatest, the most
complex, the most inexplicable puzzle is
“society”-—the society that you contin-
ually hear about, that bubbles up, that
efiervesces, that widens out its own » lit-
tle ripples every now and then into one
gigantic wave that washes up from the
depths a sediment that dims the luster
and sparkle and makes one wonder
where on earth real society is anyway.
Now, here is a young man who came to
us with carefully prepared letters of in‘
troduction socially. He did not consider
it neCessary to push Himself. He was let
beautifully alone until . accident proved
him a desirable man to know. .
Another man came here recently with
no letters—credit or social. He picked
up an acquaintance at apopula’r hotel.
He let drop casually that he was from
England and was looking up real estate
here in America. This acquaintance,
who had the entree to society, intro-
duced him to his friends. They invited
him out. Others invited him in turn,
and he was drawn into society’s vortex.
Now they hear from across the water
that the man, with his accent his only
recommend, is an imposter.—Chicago In-
ter Ocean.
Method-s For Secret Correspondence.
At a trial in France it was shown that
the chemist Turpin, who is undergoing
five years’ imprisonment for treason,
made arrangements with a friend to carry
on secret correspondence. A letter from
the prisoner, giving the necessary direc—
tions to his friend, was read in court. An
ofiicial inquiry was made and some in-
teresting information supplied by the
convicts, frOm which it was shown that
when private news is to be supplied to a
prisoner a formal letter, apparently con-
taining nothing of importance, is sent.
This, being read by the governor, would
be passed on to the prisoner, who, under-
standing the missive, and that it was
only necessary to read between the lines
written in milk, he could make this per-
fectly decipherable by rubbing it over
with a dirty finger or an old slipper. An-
other ingenious form of secret correspond-
ence consisted in leaving letters out of
words, as if the writer were illiterate.
The omitted letters put together formed
the requisite words and sentences—Lon-
don Public Opinion. '
He Came Out Even. ’ "
He was a Weary faced traveling ma
who had been the victim of every boom
towner whom he had met.
He entered the ofiice of a ticket agent
the other day, and purchasing a through
ticket for the east said:
“I have at least made one good invest-
meet since I have been in this part of
the country.”
“How’s that?” asked the sympathetic
agent. ~
“I came out even,” replied the eastern
man as he walked toward the door.—

A'Sknll as Big as a Bushel Basket. -
One of the most remarkable finds of
gigantic human remains of which we
have any record was that made at Paler-
mo, Sicily, in the year “1516, when an en-
tire skeleton of unheard .of proportions
was unearthed by some marble. quarry-
men. These mammoth remains meas-
ured exactly 34 feet from head to foot,
and 9 feet '7 inches from pointto point of
the shoulders. A stone ax buried with
this old time giant may still be seen at
Palermo in section “Z” of the St. Isorent
museum. It is made of a bluish look-
ing, fine grained bowlder, and appears to .
be about 2 feet 8 inches long by 1 foot
broad and 9 inches through in the thick-
attached to the relic informs the visitor
that it weighs 52 pounds, but the general
verdict is that it could not weigh over.
30 or 35 pounds.
. The skeleton was burned by a mob in
the year 1662 during the prevalence of
the black death at Palermo, the igno«
rant, superstitious people believing that it
was connected in some mysterious way
with the death dealing distemper. The
skull of this giant, according to Abbe
Ferregus, “was largely excessive of the
baskets sayd to hold the bushel,'being
fitted above and belowe withe teeth to
the number of sixty-fours, the each of
which would have weighed two ounces.”
Cavalier. Scroy claimed to have found a
skull on Teneriife that had 60 teeth—St.
Louis Republic.
How Corn Was Ground at One‘Time.
The watermill is older than the wind-
mill, but prehistoric com—such wheat,
for instance, as Pytheas, the first trav-
eler from civilization to Great Britain,
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds on account of the absence of sun—-
was ground in hand mills, as is still done
in the east. Quernes, as these mills are
called, are frequently found in the cyclo-
pean underground dwellings of Scotland.
Their simplest form consists of two thin
circular stones, the upper of which is
pierced in the center and revolves on a
wooden or metal pin inserted in the low:
or one. The grinder dropped the grain
into the central hole with one hand, while
the other caused the upper stone to re«
volve by means of a stick inserted in a
small hole near the edge. '
The laboriousness of this operation is
well illustrated by a story told of Colum-
ba. He was studying under St. Finnian,
and every night on which it fell to his
lot to grind the corn with thequerne'he
performed his task so quickly that his
companions enviously asserted that he
had the assistance of an angel in turning
the stone. Wilson thinks that at this
time (the early part of the sixth century)
the querne Was the. only mill in use.
Large water mills were introduced in the
thirteenth century into Scotland, and
legal means had to be employed to ren-
der their use compulsory.—Gsntleman’s
Magazine.
The Word "Buxom."
When we now speak of a- buxom per-
son, we think of sucha one as Mrs. Lu-
pin in “Martin Chuzzlewit," a plump,
middle aged, good looking, good Ira--
tured, kind, agreeable woman. We‘do
not usually apply the term to a. thin
woman, or to a young girl, or to an old
woman. Assuredly we should never
think of calling a man or a boy buxom.
The word, however, once really meant
pliable or flexible, and afterward obedi-
ent. It is the same as the Anglo-Saxon
bocsum, or the high German beugsam,
from beugen (to bend), which r001: ap
pears in bough and bou (in all its mean-
lugs).
In the Salisbury Manual the woman
at the marriage service promised to be
“bonair” and “buxom,” which is ex-
plained in the margin to mean meekand
obedient. We are hereby reminded of .
Milton’s line in the most beautiful of all .
odes, “So buxom, blithe and debonair.”
This original meaning of the word ap-
pears in Chaucer’s “Merchant’s Tale,”
“For who can be so buxom as a wife?”
The word, in its application, was not
limited to women. In" “The Clerk’s
Tale” we are told of men, “And they
with humble heart full buxomly.” In
Henry Cochrane’s Dictionary (A. D.
1626) buxom is defined as pliant, obedi-
ent.—National Review.
Culture and Politeness In Caracas.
Caracas has a public library which
contains not less than 30,000 volumes.
The better class of citizens are not only
educated as we understand the word,
but accomplished to a degree not com.
mon in North America. Both sexes are
able to speak three or four languages be-
sides their own and are well up in art
and music. As for politeness, there are
no such people under the sun. When-
ever a ‘ Venezuelan, male or female,
writes a letter, whether to a dear friend
or stranger, he or she invariably con-
cludes it with the words, Beso susma-
nos, “I kiss your hands,” and whenever
a Venezuelan gentleman meets a lady,
whether it be his sweetheart or his
grandmother, he hastens to assure her
that he is “lying at her feet."—Fannie
B. Ward.
A Newspaper Library.
There is at AL-la-Chapelle a curious
museum library containing thousands of
newspapers. It was founded seven or
eight years ago by Oscar Forkenbeck,
who collected newspapers as other peo«
ple collect stamps or autographs. He
spent his entire income for 40 years on

and printed in 30 different languages.

Secretary Garlisle on the Financial
,: Situation.
PLENTY OF GOLD IN THE COUNTRY.
Arrangements in Progress Which Will
Doubtless Keep the Gold Reserve In-
tact—Patriotic Action Necessary to Be
move Existing Difficulties.
WASHINGTON, April 21.——Secretary Car—
lisle' makes the following statement re
garding the financial situation:
“In the exercise of the discretionary
power conferred upon the secretary of the
treasury by the act of July 14, 1890, he has
been paying gold for the coin treasury
notes issued for the purchase of silver
bullion, and will continue to do so as long
as he has gold lawfully available for that
purpose. Under this process the govern-
ment has been, and is now, paying gold
for silver bullion and storing the silver in
its vaults, where it is as useless for any
purpose of circulation or redemption as
iron, lead or any other commodity.
“The government, in the first ‘place,
issues a coin treasury note in payment for
silver bullion, and then the coin treasury
note is presented at a sub-treasury and the
gold is paid out for it; so that the effect is
precisely the same as if the g’l were paid
directly for the silver in the first instance.
About $800,000 of the gold which was with-
drawn from the sub-treasury on Tuesday
for the shipment abroad was paid out on
these coin treasury notes. No order has
been made to stop the payment of gold
upon these notes nor has any one been au-
thorized to say that such an order would
be issued. The purpose of the government
to preserve its own credit unimpaired and
maintain the parity of the two metals by
all lawful means will not be abandoned
under any circumstences. ’
“In view of the existing {legislation the
only question for consideration is as to the
measures that ought to be adopted to in-
sure the accomplishment of these purposes,
and upon this question there is, Of course,
room for wide differences of opinion. The
total stock of gold coin and gold bullion
now in . this country, including what is
held by the treasury, as well as what is
held by the banks and individuals,
amounts to about $740,000,000. When I
came in to the treasury department on the
7th day of March the amount of free gold
on hand was $987,000, but by arrangement
with western banks it was increased until,
on the let of April, it amounted to nearly
$8,000,000. ‘
“Then heavy shipments began to be
made, and two days ago we had only about
$40,000, but now. it amounts to $885,000,
after deducting what has been withdrawn
from the sub-treasury for shipment. Ar-
rangements are now in progress by which
more gold is to be procured from the west
and I hope that a sufficient quantity will
be secured to keep the gold reserve intact.
“There is gold enough in the country to
meet all the requirements of the situation,
and if all who are really interested in
maintaining a sound and stable currency
would assist the secretary of the treasury
to the extent of their abilities, the existing
difficulties would soon be removed."
. A Farmer's Sudden Death.
PLAINFIELD, N. J ., April 21,—Albert
Drake, a farmer, saw two boys set fire to a
brush heap near his barn. He became
wildly excited and ran out with a pail of
Water in ,each hand. Two hours later a.
neighbor'found him with the pails, empty,
still in his hands, lying face downward in
the rear of the barn, dead from heart fail-
ure. Mr. Drake was 55 years old, mar-
ried and had three children.

The Arrival of an Italian Vessel Lentil}Y
Herélded by the Germans.
FORTREss MONROE, April 21.-.-Notwith
standing the rough weather hundreds 0)
small boats danced up and down on the
waves about the big war ships yesterday.
Several venturesome ladies went. out in a
small boat to attend a dance on board the
,Australia, and returned liberally decorated
with cap bands, etc., and many brought
sway brass buttons and pieces of lace as
souvenirs. ‘ .
Nearly everybody stayed indoors al-
though the few ladies who dried their
tears and tied led to the Lottom of their
skirts came back with glowing faces and
thrilling tales of heirbreadth escapes. ’i‘iu-
lead idea was really quite a clever thing.
It originated with the wife of a naval 0. .E-
car and was speedily adopted. The girls
and their chaperons fastened little bits of
led to the bottoms of their skirts, and 1h ; -.~
prevented an undue display of ankles :0
they chambered up the steep landing stc '
of the ships. .
Although the arrival of foreign 5le
has become a thing of common occurrew .
there was a. hasty exodus from the DUI--
lobby when the booming of cannon m.-
nounced that a new vessel was in the l’inr-
bor. She flew the familiar flag of Italy
from the stern, and was speedily identilit u
as the, ZEtna, a protected cruiser not
large as the Chicago or the Philadelphia,
but interesting from the fact that her teu-
inch guns are larger even than the great
Weapons which the Blake carries. At her
main a small blue flag with a white star
gave the signal that a rear admiral was on
board, and everybody had. to salute Ad-
miral Magnaghi. _
It was noticeable to observers that the
German m :m-of-war,the Kaiserin Augusta,
began to --11ute when the Etna was still
within be If a mile of her anchorage. . It
seems strange to see European politics
playing a part in the peaceful waters of
the United States, but it‘was quite evident
that the shrewd Germans did not intend
to lose even this opportunity of testifying
their regard for the nation which, with
their own fatherland and Austria, form the
ureibund.
Frost Killed the Quail.
CAMDEN, April 21.—The West Jersey
Game Protective society held its semi-
annual meeting here. Of the 200 mem-
bers present the majority were Philadel-
phians. Reports from the five lower
counties of New Jersey, over which the so
ciety has jurisdiction, showed that the
severe winter had killed OR a majority of
the quail and rabbits. The society spent
$1,100 last year in stocking the woods with
quail, and nearly every bird had been
frozen or starved to death during the past
winter. It was decided to buy more quail
and liberate them.
Jersey’s Fifty-five Hour Law.
TRENTON, April 21.——New. Jersey manu-
facturers are irritated by the passage of
the fifty-five hour law. This law provides
that fifty-five hours shall constitute a

A Terrible Death Overtakes Work-
men on Lake Michigan.
POURTBEN IMPRISONED IN A unis
They Were at Work on Milwaukee's
Water Tunnel, and Perished in an Air
Shaft Whence They Had Taken Refuge
from the Storm.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 2i.—In a gale
which for years has not been equaled on
the great lakes, the crib at the end of the
Intake tunnel, situated some 3,000 feet out
in Lake Michigan washed away, and of
fifteen men employed there in the shaft,
which reaches to the shore, only one was
rescued. The dead men perished in the
air shaft, where they had sought shelter,
and which filled with water. James Miller
is the only survivor.
The dead are: John McBride, Michael
Dwyer, \Villiam Pruesener, George Gregg,
James Murphy, Joseph Pezol, Gustav
Liekowicz, Peter Scenes, William Marlon,
Charles Johnson, John Healy,’ Frank
Brown, John Donovan and Edwaad Cam-
brian.
The people living along the shore were
horrified when they could see no vestige
either of the crib or the house that sur-
mounted it, and but faint traces here and
there of the government breakwater, that
was hidden in the mountainous surf that
broke over it. The entire prospect as fair
as the eye could reach was one‘spectacle of
seething, boiling, roaring billows, that
seemed to unite with the clouds. On the
beach were two lumber laden craft that
had vainly sought shelter behind the
breakwater, and the shore was strewn
with the wreckage. About 200 feet of the
breakwater, which was thought to be
staunch enough to withstand the severest
storm, was washed away.
The tug Welcome took a lifeboat in tow
and steamed out to the crib. Only one
man was found alive at the crib, and he
was brought ashore in an unconscious
condition and will probably die. His
name is John Miller. A search will be '
made for the bodies of the drowned men
as soon as the lake becomes a little safer.
James Miller, the man rescued by the
tug Welcome, was so exhausted when
taken on board the tug that he was unable
to speak. He recovered sufliciently just be-
fore being taken to the hospital to be able
to tell that his companions w‘ere'in the air
chamber below the crib. There is no doubt
that they are all drowned; Two bodies
were seen floating around the wall of the
crib. Miller was badly handled by the sea.
From her station in the lighthouse at
North Point Mrs. G. S. Stebbins witnessed
the destruction of the house which oc-
cupied a position on the top of the crib.
The destruction of the house and ma-
chinery was the work of but a few minutes.
Mrs. Stebbins says it was the most awful
night on the lake possible to imagine.
Miller said that the crib house was so
dangerous that all hands went down into
the air lock. They were quite comfortable
there until the house was blown away. They
knew it was gone when the air pump ceased
working. The air became so bad that the
air look was opened and the water allowed
to come in. McBride, Dwyer, Gregg, J ohn-
son, Liekowicz and Miller succeeded in
getting out of the lock and to the surface.
The other nine were drowned in the lock.
Dwyer, Gregg , Johnson and Liekowicz
held on about a half hour, and then one
by one were swept away.
Disasters at Detroit.
DETROIT, April 21.-—The damage done
along the river front here by one of the
heaviest gales ever known on the lakes is
quite severe. The wind attained a. velocity
of over seventy miles an hour. In the
neighborhood of Belle Isle bridge steam
and sailing yachts and'catboats anchored“
close to docks were smashed against each
other, roofs of boat houses were lifted off
and floating docks lifted up on the land.
The boat houses and contents of the De-
troit Boat company and Herrman Schmidt
were badly wrecked, and a number of
small yachts belonging to the same firms
were thrown high upon land and suffered
severe damage. The steam yacht “J. 5.,”
owned by John Shafer, was sux‘: and will
be a. total loss. The steamer Simon Langell
is aground on the American side of Fight-
ing Island, and tugs have gone to her as-
sistance. It is reported that a barge is
ashore at Grosse Point, but her name
could not be ascertained.
