Mr. James Kendry, nianager el the Auburn woollen mills, is nursing an atteck of la grippe, which he bronght home with in from a recent business trip to New York. A Madrid telegram seys : The mortality here from influenza is great, but the malady seems to be deorettebag. Gayarre, the tenor, is not expeoted to reoover. The dims° is spreading in the Provinces, and heat a8Surand a severe form at Barcelona. A New York despatoh says; The num- ber of grip sufferers among the " fineet ' reached high-water mark yesterday, when 204 of them were laid up for repears on half -pay. Capt. Garland, of the Pladieon Street Station, is the only high official who iB sick, but he was out for a few hours, although not on duty. During tbe trial sixteen complainants or defendants were reported to be ill. The sick list includes 3.• captain, 5 sergeants, 8 roundsmen, 8 door- men and 270 patrolmen, oat of an available force of 3,423. men, a fraction over 9 per cent. The fact is, the prevalent malady is spreading in all directions, and yesterday two more names were added to the list of :those whose attacks of the grip, being fol- lowed by a more serious indisposition, ter- minated fatally. They are Mrs. Horace A. Iludeins ated Da Pleads M. Helm. Two fatal oases a pneumonia, which were developed from "la grippe," were those of the Rev: Dr. W. W. Patton, Presi- dent of Howard Univeraity, Washington, D.C., who died at Westfield, N.J., and &hie A.. Osborn, of Brooklyn, a United States Commissioner. WEE IT limns BMW,. It is from the tenement dietriots, how- ever, and from the dispensaries and hospi- tals that the most harrowing accounts of this meaady reach the public ear. Every hospital in the city is completely filled with aufferers. Within the past twentytfour hours upward of two hundred patients have been sent to the °barite, Hospital from the medical department of Bellevue. Over a hundred have been accommodated in the hospital itself, and till they come. Word has been sent from the Island that there is no room for any more patients in the insti- tutione there, every available bed being already occupied. Yesterday morning there were folly three hundred people assembled without the doors of the dispen- sary on East Twenty -siseh street prior to the opening at 9 a.m., and nearly every one was more or less e.ffiested with grip synap- , tome. Some were pitifully ill, with feverish faces, haggard eyes and hollow cough. The Board of Health does not seek to disguise the fact that Is grippe bolds the town, but declares its entire inability to check the spread of the malady. Disinfect- ants and isolation are powerless to prevent the progress of this epidemic, which is atmospheric. Dr. Edson said yesterday that there are probably 100,000 oases in this city, but that the Board of Health can only attend to the contagious diseases re- ported. WHAT TO no. The heelth authorities advise all people, no soon as they perceive the alight- ed indications of a cold de- veloping to shut themselves up in- doors, avoid getting chilled and send without delay for a doctor. With proper precautions against taking a fresh cold, bronchitis and pneumonia may be avoided, and without these complicatione 44 the grip" is not deaaly. Yesterday a cablegram was received from a very eminent French physician, who has been most successful in treating the disease in Paris, to the effeot that the happiest resalte have followed the nee of male= in every instance, and strongly recommending it to the medical fraternity in America. A Paris cable says: The serious nature of the influenza epidemic hrshown by the mortality etatistios. During the past week 2,334 deaths occurred against 1,033 for the norrespondizig week last year. This is due 'to an increase in the diseases of the respir- atory organs. The ravages of these coin. planate are oleerly shown in the following: significant table; The deaths in Paris for December, 1889, were 5,969: for December, 1888, 3,911; increase, 2,058. Pneumonia last vveek caused 346 deaths againet 67 for the wane week lest year, and other diseases show a similar terrible increase. M. Bertin, chief cashier of the Bank of France, is among the late -t victims. The mortality here 18 still abnormally great. On Tuesday there were 389 deaths, and on Wednesday WI. The reopening of the eohoole already oloaed is postponed. The St. Sulpice Seminary, the greatest school inFrance, is closed. After Many TOUTS.

The child aome years ago teethed her true name, and has since ineded herself writing to •every one of the same name.

WITH A CRASH. •—•-• Two Trains Tdeeeon a Single Track with Frightful Results. An Indianapolis deepatoh of Tuesday says: A frightful and fatal wreck occurred at Komoko this morning on the Panhandle Railway, one mile north of the depot. Train No. 13, north bound, Condnotor Thomas Lamb, left the junction at 2.15 a. m., sclaeaulti time. When about a mile north it met No. 14, south bound, in care of Conductor V. S. Noland. It was running about 50 miles an hour. The two trains crashed together, totally demolishing the engines ane burning the baggage. car and coaches of the south bound tram, which tumbled on top of the engines. The injured were confined to engine and express and baggage cars. George Cummings, engineer of No. 14, was buried in the wreak, and died immediately after being extricated. Tom McCullough, engineer on No. 13, lies at the Clinton House, Komoko, with bis head crushed, and cannot live Baggage. master J. Kerlin, injured in the head, was taken to Galveston, where he died at 9 o'clock. Thomas Herber was hurt seri. oualy. These men all lie d at Logansport. Adams' Express Messenger Giant was seri- ously, though not fatally, hurt about the body. Two men, named Woods and Webb, were badly bud in the general immesh up, but not fatally. A number of passengers in the coaches were shaken up badly, but the Pullmans escaped. many of the passen- gers not being wakened. The cause of the wreak is a mystery, as the engineers of both trains are unable to testify, but a general opinion is that the north 'bound engineer was trying to make a" sneak" to the side track at Jewett, four miles north, to pass, No. 14, which was slightly behind time. - • A DASTARD'S REVENGE. A Rejected Suitor Poisons the Family Coffee—Two Deaths. A Joliet, Ill., despatch of Thursday says: John Dail, a single man, lived on a farm near the ofillage of Molten& with hie mother, Mrs. Amelia Dall, 70 years old Connected with the household were a hired man named Sohnffier and a girl named Mina Schenek. 'Yesterday the girl prepared dinner, and when the coffee watt served eaoh of, the family noticed it had a strong, bitter taste. The stuff was thrown away and a new lot made. This was also bad, but not enough so to prevent tbe family partaking freely of it. Soon after dinner they all became alarmingly aids The hired man and girl drank freeh milk, which caused vomiting and asved their lives. Mrs. Dell died after a few hours of exorucisting pain, and Itist evening John Dalt breathed his last. The pbyeicians called in meld not, determine the character of the poison. A •white powder was notioe in tbe first pot of coffee. John Schaferee former emOloyee of Dell, and a rival suitor for the hand of the servant- msid, was enspected as the guilty person.

It Looks as if They Intended to Buy up the United /States Piecemeal. A New York despatch says: An English eyndicate, it is said, is trying to purchase the famous Granite Mountain Mine, of Montana. S. M. Rttmsey, of St. LtaliS, Preeident of the company, according to a despatoh from that city, freekly admitted Ibis when &eked. He said that some time ago he received a letter from a New York broker seking if the mine or a controlling interest could be booght, and replied that it probably could if enough mane was offered. There was some correspo slice, and, finally, the New York beekeraraadean offer of $45 per shoe for afa or, a con- trolling portion of the 400,000 shares, placing the value of the mine at 313.000,- 000. This offer has not been rejetited, but Mr. Rummy said he very much doubted jt e acceptance. The present negotiations, so far as can be learned, are being con- ducted by a New York finencier's agent. He has had personal conferences on the subject, and is very well kuown to Presi- dent Ramsey and othere of thee:in:many. Contracts With Book Agents. . A Montreal despatch eays : The value of printed condition contract Jonas, ouch' as used by agents soliciting subecriptione for 'books, pictures, etc., hes been mtge. lished in the Circuit- Court by Mr. Justice Gill. A number of people along the (Num% Valley subscribed to " Pioturestine Can- ada.' The plan adopted by the agent avas to obtain the signature of the subscriber to a printed -form: In inany cases the sub. scribers learned for the first time what the purport of that agreement was when they received a letter 'frothe firra' of ' Belden m Bros. 'the proprie- tors of that publication, taitit snit would be entered to collect $21.60 from them unless they paid the amount at once.The pub- lishers had inserted among the conditions one to the effect that the city of Montreal was the place of making the contract, and that therefore'all the legal Proceedings for the breach of the same were to be taken here. Messrs: Trenholrae, Taylor & Buohan, for a number of subscribers, contested such a 'proineding and asked Meesrs. Belden Bros. to take a teat case. After hearing the evi- dence the Court held that a oobdition such as, that in question in the peasant case wies governed by the same prinoiples as the cone ditions on the back of a railway ticket or bill of lading, that it did not bind without abeolutis proof being made by ,the plaintiff that the condition had been pointed out to the subscriber,, and the , latter bed expreesly agreed to the condition. ritBrABISO Fon uswilemext. zipeetroontiog 'With. the inurderers, Rapid -rianttit apporatue, An A.uborn, N.

Last Tueeday, while a bull fight wee in progress, about 10,000 people were crowded into the build- ing. When the second bull was being killed nearly every person preeent rose and etood applauding and staraping their feet, when suddenly one side of the Plaza cora- menced to give way. A rush followed and the extra euovement of the thousands of speotators helped to bring about the fall of the structure. It bulged out rapidly and collapsed, precipitating the unluoky in- mates to the ground, the distance of fall ranging from ten to twenty-five feet. Many were buried beneath the debris. Among them were many ladies of the best 'families of the town. In that' desperate situation' many fights ocourred among the men, and many were stripped of every stitch of clothing. The crowd on the opposite aide of the building, numbering several thou. sands, beosme panio-strioken and fell and trampled on one another in their attempte, to reach the outside of the Maze. The bull -fighters were also seized with fear and made their exit with the bull closely fol. lowing. The trampling of the helpless and the agonized cries of the men and women made the place a scene of pandemonium. It was not until outside help came to the people pinned down by the planks and umber that the unfortunate victims were released from their painful positions. Many physioians were called and the wounds of the people were sttended to. The number of wounded will reach into the hundred% but while the injuriea of a great many are serious and painful, it is not thought that any will prove fatal. teas AN OLD MAN'S CHIME. Crazed with Drink He Murders His Two Grandchildren. A Haverhill, N. H., despatch of Sunday says: Stephen La Plant, a Frenchman, whose home is in Benton, has been spending a few days with his eon's family at Centre Haverhill. Yesterday his son, accompanied by the mother of the child- ren, went to Warren, leaving Ls Plant and wife in charge. There were four children. The two eldest went skating, leaving the unfortunate victims alone with the mur- derer and his wife. There was some dis- pute in regard to tbe children, when La Plant left the room, returning with a ham- mer, with whichhe dealt the boy tanner - dint and heavy blows on the skull, scatter- ing the blood upon the ceiling and the floor. The girl, interrupting, engaged his tittention, and drewirig a knife he cut her and also dealt heavy blows with the ham- mer until she fell to the floor 'insensible. At thie point a paeser-by Was attraoted by the noise, and Le. Plant was seized while in the act of murderously assaulting his wife, whose life, doubtless, he would also have taken. Officer Weeden, of this place, was summoned and had the murder in jail here at 8 o'clock. La Plant talks freely and says he meant to kill the children. He was addicted to the use of liquor, and in all probability was tinder WI influence when the crimes were committed. The boy was instantly killed; the girl will die. MISCALLED RELIGION. Disastrous Results or a So-called Revival in Kansas. e A Leavenworth, Kee., despatch nays: The vicinity of High Prairie, ten miles from ibis city, bap lately been the scene of a religious revival that has greatly excited the people. In some inatences persons have gone crazy with enthusiasm. About two weeks ago a brother and sister—Frank and Minnie Boland—became eo enthusias- tic and excited over religion that they lost their reason. As they were living alone no one noticed their condition. Thursday evening two persons who were passing Boland's house noticed smoke leaning from it, and on gaining entrance found a well- Itindled fire on the floor of one of the goome, with the brother and sister in an ahnoat nude pandit= singing religious songs and dancing around it, seemingly getting, ready for cremation. The fire was finally put out and the brother and sister Were overpowered. When questioned, Minnie said the Lord had made the fire and they would not put it out. Late yee. terday afternoon they were placed in jail, where they will remain until a Method of treatment for them has been deoided upon. Disease Has mar.y Shapes. • .A.

Frankin was an Anarchist artist peal assistant to his wife in laundry work. For 'years he had done no work other than to help his wife ocoadonally. filialiness was hie excuse for this. At taxies he suffered from epileptic fite. Frankin left a number of letters.

'With this end in view he purchased Paris green. In another letter he says be if3 insane, driven so by poverty and the prespect ot never being able to better his condition, only death would release him. It appears that Frankin and his wife discussed this matter calmly, and flnallyeigreed to go out of this world together. 'The claild, a pretty, blue- eyed thing, not quite three years old, they decided to talce with them. On Tueaday the wife lay down upon the bed in the rear room.
