H«AVY FAILURES IN PITTSBURGL
Hnndrmlf of Workingmen Robbed of
Their Hard Earned Money.
Pittsburg, Nov. 28.—The iron firm
of Long Sr Company oOnfessed judg
ment Thursday for $300,000 in favor of
the Lawrence bank; and the bank closed
its doors. The first intimation which
the business people received of the
bank's inability to meet its obligations
was a notice to the Union bank, to
which it clears, to return checks to the
amount of only $11,000. The bank's
liabilities are $700,000, occasioned
partly by the failure of the iron firm,
and partly by bad investments. Hun
dreds of workmen had their savings in
the bank. There is great excitement.
President W. W. Young, of the bank,
declared that the collapse was complete,
that he had sunk all his own money
and that of some of his friends, and he
was ruined. He declared positively that
there was no dishonesty. E. Z. Wain-
wrighfc had §40.000 in the bank, and
Carnegie Brothers also a heavy deposit,
but neither will be involved by the fail
ure.

Th« Decline of Wrentllng,
It ft on record that Henry YTH him
self, who was something much more than
an amateur athlete, continued to keep up.
his practice in wrestling, among other
muscular exercises, even after his acces
sion to .the throne. But the example of
the merry monarch, though dear to the
manly testes of the people, oould not
avert the reaction which the spread of
the new learning and the decline of
chivalry were rapidly bringing about
among the upper classes, to some extent
even under the later Tudors. Still more
when the Puritan movement aoquired
strength in the country .wrestling, among
other out of door sports, sank to a lower
level of popularity than it had ever pre
viously touched in England. Peacham,
fn his “Compleat Gentleman,” published
In 1C22, went so far as to say that throw
ing the hammer and wrestling were low
sports, “not so well becoming no-
billty, but rather soldiers in a camp;
neither have 1 read or heard of any prince
or general commended for wrestling save
Spamlnondar and Achmat, the last em
peror of Turkey.”—New Review,
Faved from the Sea.
New York, Nov. 22.—The Mallory
kin® steamer Leona, from Galveston
and Key West, arrived. Immediately
after the vessel was berthed eight ship-
wrecked mariners were assisted down
the gang plank. They were the captain
and seven sailors of the American
schooner Furman L. Mulford, which
vessel foundered at sea on Sunday
morning last. The men drifted around
m the small boat, suffering great hard
ships, until at 6 o'clock on the same
evening the Leona caiye along.

ANOTHER BLOODY COTTAGE.
Chioac*rallc* K*k« a Herr ibis Discovery
of Crime.
Chtcaqo, Nov. $8.—The police have
made * strange and sickening discovery
which will probably lead to the un
earthing of a Woody tragedy. Directly
opposite the Deariug street station, at
2*24 Hearing street, stands a frame cot
tage. Up to fcho 18th of this month this
oottage was tenanted by John Hughes,
his wife and two ohildren. On the loth
they disappeared.
Friday morning the cottage was
broken open, and the floor, ceiling and
walls of three roo >>«. were found almost
literally 00 ered with blood. In some
places on the 'floor the' blood had not
dried, and was so thick that it oould be
literally scooped up with a spoon. The
police are investigating the matter, and
it is the theory that the Hughes family
or a part of it has been murdered.
Runaway Fr*i(bt Train Wrecked.
MARquOTfK, Mich., Nov. 23.— As a

two flat cars was approaching this city
about 11:30 o’oloclc Thursday night, on
the Duluth. South Shore and Atlantic

the down grade about four miles out
side of town. It tore through the cii r
at a tremendous speed, jumped the
track and went over an emb , a kment
twelve feet high near the uocks. En
gineer Charles Reinhart was instantly
killed. Fireman Liberty badly injured;
the latter will probably die. The en
gine and nine oars were badly wreoked.
A Vernltar Accident.
Clinton, Iowa, Nor. 28. —Th© south
bound Chicago, Milwaukee and iSL
Paul passenger train from Sabula to
Clinton, was wreoked in a peculiar
manner at Lyon’s Thursday night A
broken rail oaused the tender and bag
gage coach to leave the traek just as
they crossed a trestle, and at the’ same
instant the trestle oollapsed beneath the
passenger coach, containing twenty
people, so that it hung just caught by
the ends, bridging a gulf twenty feet in
depth. It was a marvelous escape.
Three or four were slightly injured,
among them Conductor U. Westootfc.

Carlyle and th* Asa. -
One morning, a few minutes before th*
school hour, when most of the pupils had
arrived and they had gone into the school,
a donkey was entering the playground.
Bill Hood and I were so far on our way,
rushed to mount the animal and began to
guide and force it into the schooL With
deeperate spurring the donkey was in
duced to carry Its rider over the thresh
old, and what a reception both of them
got from the juvenile crowds! Bags of
books were at once fastened to the tail
and around the neck of the ass, and so
busy were Bill and half a dozen compan
ions in urging the brute to canter around
the school and to ascend the short stair
of the master’s desk that they did not no
tice how time was speeding, and before
they oould remove the stranger Mr. Car
lyle appeared. We expected a tremen
dous explosion of wrath, but he buret into
a roar of laughter—such a roar, however,
as, imtesd of tempting us to joia in U,
produced a sudden and complete hush,
and that roar was renewed again and
again, when the aaa, withdrawing its fore
feet from the first step of the desk stair
and turning round, took a pace or two
slowly toward the master as if to salute
him. a.
•‘That," exclaimed Carlyle, “is the
wisest and beet scholar Kirooldy has
yet sent met he is fit to be your ieeoher,*
.He tapped the donkey’s bend, as he
was wont to do ours, and said: “There’s
something here far more than in the
skulls of any of his brethren before me,
though these skulk are patted in fond
admiration by papas and mammas, and
though that far grander headpiece meets
only with merciless Mows.”
He then gave some hard taps on Bill
Hood's head, and would not tul-rar him
to dismount, but for penalty ordered him
to ride up and down the school for an
hour, while the boys who had been most
active in hedjvrag Bill to go through th*
faroe had to march in pairs before and
behind the perplexed-looking ass. He did
not require the other scholars tu attend
to their school lessons, but silently
•mitred them to stand as ^pectstora of the
grotesque procession. Then be himself,
seated within the pulpit-like desk, sur
veyed Bin and his company with
strange mixture of mirth, scorn and
fury.—-Cor. Edinburgh Scotsman.
