He opened, the box and sold a number of bottles, was arrest­ ed, tried before a justice, and sentenced to spend 105 days in jail. His attorney applied for the writ before Judge Foster.

THE following order, has been issued by the President: "The death of John C. Fremont, a Major General on the re­ tired list of the army of the United States, is an event calling for some ap­ propriate expression of the national sorrow and of grateful appreciation of his public services.

Devastation visited Minnesota and Wisconsin Sunday, and the death-list already runs up into the hundreds. A cyclono swooped to tho earth among tho summer resorts north of hero and the bodies that arc strewn albng the shores of the lakes bear witness to Its awful work. The most appalling news of the storm comes from lied Wing, Minn. Tho steamer Sea Wing left Red Wing, Minn., in the afternoon with 250 passengers on board, bound for Lake City, where the State encampment of tho State militia Is in progress. At several small towns along the shores of Lake Pepin enough more peoplo were taken on board to make about 350 when the boat reached Its destination. A barge was in tow which carried 100 of this number. Late in the, afternoon the party re- embarked for homo and was in the middle of the lake off Lake City when the cyclone struck the little city. The boat bccame unmanageable at once. The barge was cut loose and after an hour drifted to shore with about twenty people on board. The other 200 or more were drowned. It is impossible at this time to give names, but among the dead are some of the best known and most prominent jfcople of Red Wing and vicinity. ,. A number of -bodies are already washed ashore and the citizens have formed a voluntary police service to patrol the shores ahd watch for others. The storm aid great daipage to pro­ perty in and about Lake City, but no lives were destroyed on the shore so far as reported. Fully fifty people have been killed nelr White Boar Lake, the most attractive and thickly populated resort in this city, hundreds of-persons from this city, Minneapolis, Chicago, and other towns in this section being in the habit of goiug there for Sunday. Bass Lake Is a spot that tempts many lovers of tishlng, the anglers gathering there and camping out in large num­ bers, It is said that many persons were killed there. Lake Johanna has not a large summer population, but the few there did not escape unharmed. Five are reported killed there. A younsr man drove In from Lake Kohlmann with the information that at least two persons had been killed and over too injured at that point. The storm first struck the farm of James J. Hill, the President of the Great Northern railway, twenty miles north of here, wrecking several build- Inirs and killing three farm laborers as well as several head of stock. Thefury of the storm was fearful and everything in its path was swept away. Eleven people were instantly killed at the small town of Vadnais, on the line of tho St. Paul & Dulutli road, six miles north ot here, and* the village wrecke'd. Not a building was left standing In a so 11 ltd condition, while the great major­ ity of them were blown to pieces, the inmates of them suffering death without warning. The place where the cyclone struck the ground and caused loss of lite was on the shore of Lal«? Gervalse, where J. II. Schurmeler of this city had a sum­ mer cottage in a little basin, and where Simon Good was also located. The funnel-shaped cloud swooped down on them, demolishing the dwellings and a number of othei; buildings in the same neighborhood. ^Thle camp of'Col. Helle- ser of this city^with a large party, was blown down, but the party all escaped injury..In tho wreck of the Schurmeler house, however, live were killed, and ten injured there and at the Good cot* tage.

Religious pilgrimages have done more to spread cholera over the earth than all other agencies combined. So far as Algeria is concerned the local French authorities have taken this matter in hand, and the many pious Algerian Arabs that intended to make a pilgrim­ age to the tomb of the prophet in July, have been forbidden to do so on ac­ count of the outbreak of cholera at MosuL The matter was laid before the health authorities, who concluded that the pilgrimage to Mecca would be a se­ rious source of dauger to the public health, since the cholera might be brought back to Algeria by the pilgrims and thence propogated ppeedily to Marseilles and the other southern sea­ ports whieh were ravaged by the epi­ demic when it made its appearance in Europe a few years ago. The Algerian "faithful" were obliged to #ive up their annual pilgrimage to Mecca last year owing to the same caiuse. It would be a wise measnre should the European nations tuke a hint from this action of the Algerian autfibritiea and make some systematic effort to stop the dangerous pilgrimages that are so efficient in spreading disease and death over Asia, Africa and Europe. It not infrequently happens that pil­ grims contract and die of cholera be­ fore they reach the holy shrines. But as it is a part of the faith that the soul of the departed is saved bv taking his remains <to the shrioe, the living are exposed on the illy ventilated boats with the cholera corpses, and thus the scourge is propagated. Almost all this cholera comes primarily from India, where the disease is always active. Pilgrims assemble on the banks of the holy Ganges, live on its shores, the dis­ charges ctf those sick of the disease foul the waters, which the pilgrims drink and iu which they bathe. Thus the disease is spread, the pilgrims return­ ing home, taking it with them. Had these pilgrimages been instituted orig­ inally for the purpose of spreading cholera they could not do so more surely and more effectually than they do now. It is the duty of civilized' nations to do everything possible toward prevent­ ing disease, and the nations of the earth are coming to recognize this all-im­ portant fact, both as a measure Of self- protection and in the cause of humanity. As regards cholera, the only, safety for the nations is in eradicating the disease in its birthplace--India. In order that this may be done, England and France must take the initiative, and other na­ tions should insist upon their doing so and should render all possible assist­ ance. The sanitary measures of Eng­ land have done much to free Calcutta and other Indian cities from cholera, but the rural districts of. that densely populated country are still scourged by it, aud will continue to be so long as the pilgrimages are kept up. Surely it is time that the nations should combine to stamp out this dreadtul bat entirely preventable disease. .88 .88 jant .so .16 .07% .18 Vi 8.25 & 3.75 3.C0 0 4.50 8.00 & 4.00 8.10 & 4.75 '.86 .86 .3S>4@ .86 .88 0 .84 4.23 & 4.75 8.80 <& 4.00 .80 & .90 .85*4® .3S% .82 0 .33 .40 & .51 8.00 (0 4.00 .84)4<a» .85H .a»J4© .86 ® .67 & .8$j4<a> •82fc.c« .49 & M 40 W, .36 & .66 .33 .49* .55 8.00 3.00 8.00 .87>4<I .84 & •W @ •SlHtst & 5.00 & 4.00 & 4.75 .90 .88)4 .85 .90 .39)4 .3234 4.09 @ 4.75 8.50 «» 4.25 .96 & .9874 .42fe 8.83 8.7S 4.00 8.50 4.00 4.60 .98 & 4.75 & 4.25 & 5.50 & c.oo (S 4.50 @ 8.00 (SS> .97 Tlie Great American "Pathfinder" Join* the Silent Majority. New iTork, telegram:. Major-Gen. John C. ' Fremont, the "Pathfinder," died yesterday afternoon at tho house of •Mr. F. B. Thurber, No. 49 WestTwenty- iTfth street, after a short Illness. The arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed. The services will probably be held at St. Ignatius Protes­ tant Episcopal church, of which Gen. Fremont was an attendant. Ever since Congress took the action which gave him the rank of major-general 011 the re­ tired list, Gen. Fremont has been en* gaged in quiet but persistent litorar> work. His aim has been to leave be­ hind him or to have published before Ills death some chapters of tho early history of the civil war, which, lie be­ lieved, would correct tho erroneous opinion which the country had formed of his participation in it. Ho had fin­ ished a few of theso reminiscences but continued at the others unwaveringly, until 4ils friends became alarmed at the stniin to which he was subjecting bim< self. Last Thursday, which will be-re­ membered as one of the warmest days in this locality, he went with some friends Into the country. He returned to his home Wpdnesday, but he wai unable to eat and expressed himself as feeling languid. The following day the general still felt ill and complained also of having a severe pain across the abdomen. Last Friday night Dr. "Morton received a note from the general asking him to call, and upon doing so thte former found his patient con lined to his bed suffering from peritonitis. .Lieut. Charles Fre­ mont, who was at Sing Sing with his sick wife awaiting the fitting out of th< new cruiser, Philadelphia, to which ht was detailed, arrived in time to b» pres­ ent1 with his father to tho last. Gen. Fremont remainedjcohsclous until aboul 2 o'clock when the collapse bd£an, 'and* within an hour and a half the end came. Dr. Morton said to-day that th« General's death, while its immediate cause was peritonitis, was unquestion­ ably hastened by the louse anxiety which he had endured concerning his treat­ ment by tho government. "It seems particularly sad.'1 said he, "that, now, when tho General was more easily situ­ ated and had more money than he lias had since the tirst years of the war, he should be taken away from his friends.

"WORK on the grand canal which will irrigate the immense cotton district 01 Nasus River in the Statee of Co<thnila, The ItaccoAn Km braced the Daf> That the raccoon is the. smallest re­ presentative of the bear family is a fact very well known to naturalises and gen­ erally set forth in dictionaries, but the average hunter refuses to recognize the relationship. Silas Barnes, of Newburg, who for twenty years has earned his living by selling small furs and rattle­ snake oil, after half a lifetime of doubt, was finally convinced at dawn the otlior day that the familiar 'coon is a true ursa minor, and his eighteen-pound bull terrier learned the lesson at tne same time, but too late to profit by it. The hunter and hfc dog had passed the night in the woods at the foot of Storm Iyng Mountain, on the Corn­ wall side, and at daybreak Barnes "treed" a 'coon in a tall pine. He never carries a gun because he says it fright­ ens the game he wants to catch--and, besides he hasn't one. ' He climbed the tree and drove the 'coon down, noticing as it passed him, that it seemed to be considerably more bulky than his dog. Then he sat upon a bough about thirty feet above the ground to watch the sport. He saw the terrier sieze the 'coon by the throat. Tbe shaggy animal made a desperate effort to release itself. Fail­ ing in this, it stood upon its hind feet, aud throwing its strong fore legs around its enemy's body, it gave him a deadly, ling. The dog's eyes bulged, aud so did those of the hunter, for never be­ fore, through a long experience as a woodsman, had he seen anything like this. IJe went so rapidly to the rescue that he fell the last ten feet; but he was too late. The 'coon was gone, and the terrier was gasping his life away. The blood that welled from some rap­ tured organ filled his mouth, his back was badly lacerated, and iu a few min­ utes he was dead. The squeeze of the little bear had been more than even his seasoned fratne could stand. Driven to Suicide by Mi* Victim'* Ghost. John H. Smith, a giant oil well drill­ er, of Pittsburgh, committed -suicide by tying a fire escape rope around his neck and swinging himself out of the third story window of Boley's Hotel, on Diamond street. The noise of his dead body swinging against one of the' win­ dows led to the discovery of the act. Smith was 6 feet 3 inches in height, and was known throughout the oil country as "Murderer John Smith." He was very gloomy at all times, and other drillers would not work with him, a* he was looked upon as a Jonah. Many years ago lie and a companion kiiled a man at Edenburg, Clarion County. Smith turned State's evidence and was released. His companion fled and was never captured. Ever since Smith was said to have been haunted by the ghost of his victim, and has at­ tempted to commit Buicide iu several different ways. Once he tried to shuffle off by the aid of a can of dynamite, but was caught and his life saved. Another time he contemplated self-destruction and three revolvers were taken from him. Again he walked into the river. He tried to borrow a revolver from the clerk of on- other hotel than the one at which he was stopping, but it wan refused. Then he went to BoleVs and hanged himself. --Philadelphia Times. , MAII DEAD AND DYING AT KING'S STATION, NEAR CIN­ CINNATI.

Nearly Two Thousand of ITe wltt's Em­ ployes Demand the Amalgamated Scale, New York special: Between 1,200 and 2,000 iron workers this morning re­ fused to go to work in the New Jersey steel and Iron mills at Jersey Cltv, which are owned by ex-Mayor Abram 8 Hewitt, because of the refusal of the tirm to sign tho amalgamated Iron­ workers' scale of wage9 and recognize that labor organization. A week ago last Friday the heaters In the twelve- inch room struck against certain rules and askod Superintendent Stokes to sign the amalgamated scale of wages. The superintendent said he had 110 power to sign, but he took the seale aud promised to present it to the proper au­ thorities. The men went back to their work on the superintendent's promise that the matter would be all right in a few days. Days passed, and the shop committee again called on the su­ perintendent, but got 110 satisfaction. Yesterday before they would go to work they asked whether or not tho scale had,been signed and wero told it was not. They then refused to go to work, and the men in tho twelve-Inch room, the rolling mill, the bar mill and the puddling mill and their many labor­ ers and helpers left the works. The Knights and the Amalgamated Associa­ tion have secretly organized tho works, which have been non-union for years. The firm is stacked with orders and has been running day aud night. Tho members say they will not sign the scale. ' ~ WOULD LYNCH THE CAPTAIN. IBE NATtpEAL SOLONSj • - • • • • " • --• People Ab?nt Lake Pepin Wro< îit - rp Over the Disaster.

The walls of the warehouse fell with a great crash and tbe blaze mounted high in the air. "There are sixty barrels of oil ip the basement," said one of tho owners. As ho spoke there was visible evidence of it as the flames leaped upward In great angrv tonnues. Suddenly the wind veered and carried the sparks and heat diagonally across the corner to the Cooper Block, occupied by O. W. Joues, the Smith Wagon com­ pany, Ltnsey Bros., and the Blue Grass company. At 4:15 the north side wall of the warehouse was seen to waver. A shout went up from the throats of watching thousands as it trembled, and then fell outward with a resounding crash. Beneath it lay a little stone structure which had been used as ft boarding house. A dense cloud of the blackest smoke arose, hiding from view the firemen, the building, and every­ thing. When it cleared away the little stone house had (xtteriy disapueared.
