A Petrolea despatch says: Mr Thomas
Steachriaun towaship tax collector and his
daughter, who had been in l'etrolea oa
Seturday receiving taxes, were returning
lhome on the train to the twelfth line on
Saturday night. They had with them a
satchel, which contained the collection roll,
several cheques amounting to four or five
hundred dollars, and four one -dollar bills.
it appears Mr. Steadmann laid the :satchel
elovvn in front of hie daughter on the seat,
.and went through to the baggage car. He
meet a man on the car steps who went into
the nasseager car. This man snatched the
satchel and walked out of the far door with
it, and (slammed the door hard. The noise
ntartled Miss Steaclmann, who had the oar
window open and was talking to some
Mende on the platform. She immediately
missed the se.tchel and gave the alarm, but
so far no trace of it has been found. There
was only one old man and woman in the car
at the time besides Miss Steadnuenn. This
sold man noticed the fellow taire.the satchel,
but paid no attention to him. It was sup-
posed that Mr. Steadmann generally carried
sa, large amount of tax money in this satchel
mu Saturday, and no doubt the thief or
thieves were well aware of this fact, and
/worked the opportunity ; but on this trip,
7ivecry fortunately, he had most of the funds
en bank cheques. It is thought there were
sothere in the plot, and that it was their
intention to overtake Mr. Steadmann at the
12th line and waylay him on his way from
the track to his home, which is about one
mile. Mr. Inghrim, Reeve of Inniskillen,
and Mr. Steadmann have offered a reward
of $50 each for the apprehension of the
thieves.
DIVORCE IN RUM
The Revelations in the De Steurs Divorce
Case at Sioux Palls.
'A Sioux Falls despatch says: The De
Stews divorce ease was begun this morning,
the Baroness de Steurs, Count Zberowski,
her lawyer, and her maid being in court.
The Baroness was firet on the stand, and
•occupied the whole morning in telling her
fstory. She saki her husband had always
been cruel and imitable with her; that ho
called her "a savage American." Often a
State dinners he would become angry at her
and shout out "1 wish to God I had never
married you," Once when Minister at Ma
drid, negotiating a delicate commercial treaty
the Baron had asked beet° play the coquette
with the IN inisterof Commerce and make him
think that he could do what he liked with
her. This base proposition she indignantly
xejected. He charged her with being un-
faithful, and made her swear solemnly in
church that she was not before he would
believe her. On June 13th, 1890, he had
two doctors examine her as to her sanity,
and took her children away from her. She
left him and has not seen him since.
The deposition of Baron de Rears is an
interesting document, giving glimpses of
life in aristocratic European circles. The
Baron attributes all the trouble he had with
lie wife to her peculiar nerve affection,
which has baffled the best medical skill.
His wife smoked cigarettes, he says, in spite
of his objections, and even gave them to
the children. On one occasion, at a public
'dinner, where many notables were present,
She made derogatory remarks about her
husband and then apologized for them the
n ext day. When the King of Holland was
ill she complained that he took so long to
die. On another occasion she declared that
she was a pessimist, and lived only for
pleasure. •

TREY stigma TUE CUALICE.
A Toronto Catholic Church Broken Into
and Bobbed.
On Thursday morning the caretaker of St.
Mary's Church, Bathurst street, Toronto,
was very rnuoh (surprised on going inside the
edifice to find that everything was turned -
upside down. At a glance it was evident
that thieves had entered the building, and
investigation showed that everything of any
value had been stolen. All the silverware
and even the golden chalice—that most
sacred article on the Catholic altar—had
been carried away. The candlestick,
images and other articles which the thieves
had found too cuinbersome or valueless to
carry were broken, and their fragments
were scattered about inside the railings of
the altar. Everyone in the parish is indig-
nant at this outrage and theft of such
sacred articles, and every possible measure
is being taken to bring the guilty parties to
justice.
Size and Strength of the Gulf Stream.
Even those who navigate its waters do
not fully realize the strength of its current.
Two or three years ago a government vessel
was anchored in the stream observing the
current. The wind was very light when a
sailing vessel was sighted ahead, drifting to
the northward. As she came nearer and
nearer it became evident that there would
be a collision unless steps were taken to
prevent-. it. The crew of the sailing vessel
trimmed their sails to the gentle air; but it
was useless. for onward she went, carried
by the irresistible force of the current
directly toward the bow of the steamer.
As the vesfsela approached each other, by a
skillful use of the rudder .on board the
steamer, she was moved to one side and the
Bailing vessel drifted past a few feet distant.
The captain of the latter was as astonished
as he was thankful that his vessel was not
lost. All that he could ory oub in broken
English as he flashed by was, "I could not
help it; the water bring me here."
The Influenza Bacillus.
The Medical Record, in its latest issue
contains a preliminary reports, from Dr. R.
Pfeiffer, of Berlin, of his discovery of the
influenza bacillus, Be says:
In every case of influenza the bacillus is
found. Central experiments demonstrate tba
the bacillus is absent in ordinary bronchial
catarrh, pneumonia and phtisis. The bacillus
disappears with the disappearance Of the ba -
ease. The bacillus itself a a small rod about
the thickness of the mouse septicemia bacillus
and but half its length. Very often three or
four are found arranged in chains. * *
The infection is probably caused from the
bacilli in the secretions of the naso-bronehial
tract, and the prophylactic method would be to
destroy the bacillus by neutralizing these
seeretlente
This is the -first authoritative otatement
made in regard to Dr. Pfeiffer's discovery.
The discovery may prove of great value in
the treatment of influenza. The description
of the newly found bacillus is suggestive,
indicating that Milner= hi a very distinct
infection.—N. Z Herald.

SEEKING ELECTRIC DATA.
The Traction Company Preparing For the
Adoption of the Power.
Within the next week the Philadelphia
Treation Company will receive from the
various electric companies throughout the
country letters of general information and
(late in regard to the size and capacity of
the plants they control. On Jan. 20th
the Traction Company mailed a series of
questions to all the leading electric com-
panies in the United States, of which a
nember ar located in Philadelphia. These
questions do not go into the cost of the
electric car system at all, but simply are
directed at the capacity of each company's
plant and the sbyle of construction which
it favors. The compauies are asked to
specify the various engines that they build,
the scale of the engines' sizes, and tbe
power of each size. They are further to
state the length of time required to build
each engine.
The questions also refer to the motors
used, their size and capacity, the time re-
quired for their construction, etc. The
style of wire favored by each company .is
also asked. The series of questions covers
about ten type -written pages, and, with-
out touching upon cost in any way, covers
the entire work of construction of an
electric railway. The responses are re-
quested on or before Feb. 10th. --Philadel-

A. TRAMWAY FOR BICYCLES.
The Novel Railway for Quick, Tran.sitin New
' Jersey.
The novel bicycle railway about to be
established between Mount Holly and
Sznithville, N. J., will be the only one of its
kind in tke country. The road bed is a
frame -work resembling an ordinary board
fence, on the top of which is a, steel T rail,
on which the grooved wheel of the bicycle
rune. A brace run extends down on either
side of the fence, on the end of which is a
wheel that runs along the bottom board of
the fence, and prevents the machine from
overturning.
Each bicycle will carry one or two per-
sons, and the machines are easily propelled,
as there is but little friction. The trip
between the two places can be made in
seven minutes, and as there is considerable
travel each way daily it is the general
belief that the road will be profitable. The
inventor is A. H. Hotchkiss, who has
arranged for the building of a similar road
at the World's Fair.—Phaade/p/eict Record.

le' C. Hoop & Co., Lowell, Mass.
" GENTLEMEN: For many years I have
been, suffering from catarrh, neuralgia
and general debility. I failed to obtain
any permanent relief fromemedical ad-
vice, and my friends feared I would
never find anything to cure me. A
short time ago I was induced to try
Hood's Sarsaparilla.. At that time I
was tumble to walk even a short dis-
tance without feeling a

overtake me. And I had intense pains
from neuralgia, in my head, back and
limbs, which were very exhausting.
But I am glad to say that soon after I
began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I saw
that it was doing me good. I have
now taken three bottles and ant entirely
Cured of euralgia.
I ain gaining in strength rapidly, and
can take a two-mile walk without feel-
ing tired. I do not suffer nearly so
much from catarrh, and find that as my
strength increases the catarrh decreases.
I am indeed a changed woman, and
shall always feel grateful to Hood's Sar-
saparilla for what it has done for me.
It y Wish
that this sty testimonial shall be pub-
lished in.order that others suffering as I
was may learn how to be benefited.
"Yours ever gratefully,

Boil till it thickens as it ought

Now pour the mixture ina dish,

And when they're beaten stiff and clean,
Add eight spoonfuls of sugar light,
And put the frothing nice and white,

In a cool oven let it brown—
We think the pudding will go down.

The Junction City Co-operative Club,
known as the Bellamy Club, has just
exttered upon ice second year with a fun
complement of members most of who
have been with it from the commencement.
This club was organized to conduct a CODA -
mon kitchen. There are forty-four ladies
belonging to the club, all of whom express
their satisfaction as to the result of their
experiment. During the year that the
society has been in existence the sum of
$5,320 has been expended for table supplies.
All bills have been paid as fast as con-
tracted, so that no debts have been carried
over. The officers of the society all aerve•
without pay. All the cooking for the fort y -
four families represented has been done by
a professional cook at the society's kitchen,
and the prepared food delivered at the ven-
ous residencea. The expense is estimatetl
to be fully one-third less than at separate
kitchens.—Topeka (Kan.) Special ore New
