The postmaster general formally an¬ nounced Wednesday that disease germs or other things of like character, no matter how securely put up, are of the nature of poisons and extremely dan¬ gerous to health and that they are therefore absolutely unmailable. Post¬ masters are instructed to - see that no such things are allowed entry into tho mails.

It says uls< that the Cincinnati doctor has flgreodio keep tho hospital supplied with me ieines sufficient fur all consumptive dises at his own ex pense. As only jho third-stage cases are taken there) no more severe test could bo jinvited. While it is now generaly discovijry admitted that the Amick is a certain spe¬ cific tion, in Dr. tho Amick earlieijstages jius of heretofore consump¬ never claimed that it would euro more than 20 per cent of test tjiird-stage made consump¬ by tho tives. In this just city three out iff four wero either cured or astonishingly benefited. It is easy enough fof any sufferers froi/i tho disease to test tho new discovery through their fiimily physician, tor Amick sends medicines for tho pur¬ pose free of cost and invites an impar¬ tial test of it by tie medical everywhere.

A special cablegram of Friday from Paris states that James Gordon Ben nett, proprietor of tho New York ! hr uld, was dangerously injured on Wed nesday. Mr. Bennett fell from acoach on which lio was riding and was so badly hurt that medical attention was at once required. His condition grew worse and Drs.

A Knoxville, Tennessee, special of Thursdav says: Regan Cole, Willis Cole and Alex Guffey tv.i are on trial in Il,e. (Ire ne mmn ft cirenit court .uudm la-,, February of Thomas Johnson aiul his aged wife. The prisoners were moon whiners, and because the Johnsons in¬ formed tho officers of their where¬ abouts, they were both cruelly mur¬ dered by having their heads shot off. The trial is attracting much attention. A disastrous conflagration occurred at San Francisco Wodnoidey morning, which destroyed thirteen residences in tho western addition, near tho en¬ trances to Golden Gate park. Three firemen perished in the flames while in discargo of their duty. Another was fatally injured, several badly bruised and burned. Tho names of tho killed arc: Richard Windrow, Ed¬ ward Davis and Charles Madison. Tho loss to property i« estimated at $100, 000 . A few days ago some old and musky documents were found in the Gity of Mexico by which it was learned that treasure, consisting of jewels and gold coin, amounting in value to $2,000, 000, is buried in the city. Tho docu¬ ments state that tho wealth was se¬ creted by order of Emperor Maximil¬ ian. The discovery of these docu¬ ments produced a sensation among those who were permitted to share the secret, anil preparations were at once made for unearthing the treasure. According to a New York telegram of Wednesday tho direct liabilities of E. Wyman, as scheduled, is $591,000; contingent liabilities $315,000. Tho signee estimates tho real estate in his possession as sufficient to pay tho direct indebtedness unsecured by col¬ lateral, together with interests in vari¬ ous companies, can be applied to tho liquidation of such contingent liabili¬ ties as may be found to exist, if tbe re¬ alizations upon the assets which these represent are sufficient. Advices of Saturday from Madrid states that a bill has been introduced in the Cortes providing for the reorgani¬ zation of the government of Cuba. It prays to suppress the provincial coun¬ cil and create a council which will sit in Havana und have power to deal with the budget and frame laws for reforms recommended by theSpan ish government. Tlie conservative Cubans, oppose the bill. The public generally, although regarding it with disfavor are less bitter in their opposi tion. SHAKY ELEVATORS. Two Large Companies In a Bad Way Finn ncially. A Minneapolis special says: A re¬ mor gained currency Wednesday that two of tho best known elevator com¬ panies in the northwest -the Northern Pacific and the Red Biver Valley—were temporarily embarrassed, and subse¬ quent events proved that, although the crush is not absolute, the predica¬ ment in which the two aboved named corporations find themselves is a se¬ rious one. The situation is attributed to the prevailing uncertainty and the luck of confidence which is felt by the banks. The facts in the case, as yet, will not warrant the assertion that it is a business failure, although the state¬ ment comes direct from the general manager of the Northern Pacific elo vator that the corporation will ask for the appointment of a receiver.
