Recently-compiled statistics show that the number of National banks in the country has increased about 1000 dur ing the past seven years, Four-fifths of these new banks have capitals of $100, 000 or less, and about one-half started with $50,000. Since the 1st of December, 1887, twenty-three young men have shot or stabbed young women who have trifled with their affections, and further cases are being recorded daily. The Detroit Free Brest thinks “it is getting to be a serious thing to mash a young man and then ask him if his mother knows he’s out." The Bureau of Education at Washing¬ ton has in hand the preparation of a series of histories of education in the va¬ rious States. The previous work of the Bureau of Education in this line has been directed toward the common schools, but in the present series higher education will be the topic, with only incidental reference to the earlier stages. The Detroit Free Frets observes that “F.dison's claim that his phonograph will displace the stenographer is a little vivid. Mr. L. F. Brown, who has carefully ex¬ amined the invention, says it can never arrive at that state of perfectioa. He says of it: ‘It is too complicated with its rubber hose mouthpiece, its discs and needles (I use unteclinical names) its hearing tube ad usters aud additional ear pieces, sound multipliers, lathe knife, electric attachment, wax registers, sleeves, wires, battery and weight. And its toue is too indistinct and metallic. If a cornet is played into it the beauty of the music is not preserved; its repro¬ duction is like that of a ventriloquist. The Philadelphia Nncs says that the Philadelphia Mint cannot keep up with the demand that is being made on it from the South for pennies, and that tho increase in the use of the penny in the South has, of late, been tremendous. According to the Atlanta Constitution, “the action of the Georgia, Railroad Commiss on in requiring exact change to be given by the railroads to persons buying tickets has, no doubt, much to do with the increase in the use of pen¬ nies in this State. They are used now in merchandise in this and other States, where a few years ago they could hardly be pas-ed. This is a good sign, and it will be found beneficial to the South i£ the penny comes into as general use here »s it is in the North.” The single span bridge wh’ch is to be thrown across the Hudson river at New York will be a grand piece of engineer, ing work, says the Times-Democrat, and will be 140 feet in the clear above high water. Among those interested in the scheme is Mr. Henry Flad, President of the Board of Public Improvements of the City of St. Louis, who was intimately connected with Captain Eads in the con struction of the St. Louis bridg i, and was formerly President of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Another of the incorporators is Captain James An¬ drews, who built the piers of the St. Louis bridge and the works at the Jetties of the Mississippi river. He is the sue lessor of Captain Eads in the ship rail¬ way project. 1'he other incorporators are well known manufacturers and capi talists of New York City. • A.

H. Winkilman & Co. and the house of M. S. Levy & Co., on the north. Scarcely had the firemen entered the ed¬ ifice occupied by the drug house when the inside of the building seemed to sud¬ denly drop in. A terrific explosion fol¬ lowed and the immense department building had col¬ lapsed. The entire fire by this time reached the scene, and as the attention of the men w r as concentrated on the building under which their comrades were buried, the flames had a chance to spread, and spread they did with fright¬ ful rapidity. Iii an incredibly short space of time the entire block, running from Lombard to Platt streets was a seething ma s of flame, At the drug house the firemen worked bravely. Holes were cut through the pavement and every effort made to reach the imprisoned men, but they were buried under a great mass of brick and iron and the fierce flames were roaring around the spot. George Bowers, Thomas Wagner, John A. Combs, Perry Ryan, Harry Walker, George Kerins and Hiram McAfee were buried in the ruins. The Aims that were completely burned out are: Wyiis, Bus¬ ter & Co., wholesale shoe deal¬ ers; J.H. Winkilman & Co., drugs; Tabb Bros. & Domenick, hardware; Prior & Co., toys; M. S.

No fire is used in the Prior establishment and it is supposed spon¬ but taneous combu-tion was the cause, it is known that a system of electric light ng was introduced in the building recently, and it was only tried that niuht and it may be that defective insulation started the flames and the combustible nature of the contents of the building served as food for the destroying ele¬ ment.

RELIEF AT LAST. JACKSONVILLE TO BE RAPIDLY DEPOPULATED. SURGEON-GENERAL HAMILTON ISSUES AN IMPORTANT ORDER—A TRAIN LEAVES DIRECT FOR ATLANTA GA.—NOTES. At a late hour on Saturday night the Jacksonville limes-Union received the Haines, following telegram from General Railroad, Manager of the S., F. & W. giving with the first authentic infoimation reference to the government excur¬ sion train: “Savannah, Ga.. September 1.—At 8:20 p m., I received a message from Surgeon General H -dlton asking me to send a special of four cars for ref¬ ugees from Jacksonville to Ailanta.

Four ordi¬ nary coaches had been provided, and the orders from Superintendent Fleming had been to sell tickets to Atlanta only, the cars to be locked, and no one allowed to leave the train at any point between Jacksonville and the Georgia capital. No baggage was received. Those -who had brought it with them, expecting that it would be taken as fur ns Waycross and there left behind for fumigation, were doomed to disappointment. The train orders were: “Receive no baggage.” Not even hand baggage was received, or wraps, back or over¬ their coats. All had to be sent to homes by friends or messengers. Lunch baskets and boxes were the only ‘ ‘extras” allowed. Orders were, that after the train had pas-ed the tracks of the Sa¬ vannah, Florida & Western Railroad and gone upon those of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia, the conductor was to securely lock the car doors, and mingle with the passengers as little as possible.
