"HE COLUlvibiAiN, bLOOMSBURG, FA. Ixohl fur His Dead Benefactor's Son. How Snyder Kopl His Promlsa. Alexander Snyder returned to franklin, Pa., from the Klondike last week with $60,000 in gold, a half of which he said he would give to the son of his former chum, Thomas II. Critchelow, late of the Eighty third Pennsylvania Volunteer Hifantry. Snyder was sick in the mountains for several months, and during that time Critchelow looked after, nursed and cared for him as best he could under the circumstances. They be came firm friends. Hefore they separated Snyder told Critchelow that he was going back into the mountains to prospect again and if he was successful he would look up Critchelow's son, wherever he was, and divide his wealth with him. The two miners left each other, and Sny der heard afterwards that Critchelow died in Colorado in 1893. Snyder went to the Klondyke among the first after the news of its great wealth came to the States. He was an old miner and was successful. He returned in poor health, but he had not forgotten the man who nursed him, nor the promise he made to re member that man's boy. George Mason, a reputable citizen of Franklin, who belonged to the same regiment ot which Critchelow was a member, states that Orrin Critchelow, of Franklin, is the miss ing heir. Mason says Critchelow was injured at the battle of Fredericks burg, and that soon afterwards he se cured his discharge from the army. He never returned to his family, but went West. His family received word of his death in 1893. Orrin Critcheiow is an oil well driller, and his mother makes her own livelihood Snyder is trying to learn if the state menls of Mason are true. Strange Attempt to Kill Twj Young Girls The people of the west end of South Williamsport and the adjoinin Dorougn ot uuuoistown nave Deen for the past few days highly excited over an attempt to murder two young girls, Annie Rice and Maggie Plir man, each aged 15 years. They were picking berries 111 the woods on tne mountain side, when a man rose up out of a clump of bushes and fired at them as they ran screaming down the mountain. The bullet passed through the skirt of Annie Rice's dress, near the hips. Daniel Rice, father of Annie, and Charles Dittmar, her uncle, accompa nied by the girls, hurried to the woods, and while the latter were showing where the shooting occurred, Rice discovered the would be mur derer lying partly concealed behind a tree, gun in hand. Rice and Dittmar laid hold of the fellow, who talked in coherently. At an opportune mo ment, however, he broke loose, and leveling his gun at the men, ordered them to depart. Being unarmed, they lost no time in doing as oidered. The fellow answers the description of the man who during the past two years has made eight different .at tempts to burn the home of H. J Donnelly, at Duboistown, using chem icals arranged to explode at a time wnen an would be asleep, ihese attempts have nearly always been made on Sunday.

Jackson, of Wilkes-Barre and their relatives sent (or Undertaker Mooney to prepare it for burial. The undertaker found the body warm and the child breathing sottly, but regularly. The announcement broke up the mourning party in an instant and half a dozen ran for a physician.

But it is not easy j to find them when the volume of busi-1 ness is 61.7 per cent, larger than last year and 75.5 larger than in 1892, the best ol all years except the last, or hen failures continued the smallest ever known, or when the exports of staples begin to improve naterially,or hen railroad business is by far the best ever known, or when New York bankers appear in international opera tions, listening to a Russian inquiry and undertaking a Mexican loan. Even the industrial disputes incident , to the season cause less trouble than usuar, the largest of them having been settled Thursday by the Tin Plate I Company. The Bank of England , finds it diflicult to borrow more trom this side, and frankly raises its rate while this country begins to ship fresh crops for which Europe will run into debt. Iron production in the first week of. Uiy was 203.303 ions, lur 111c two weeks less because a strike July 1st closed seven Shenango furnaces producing 1,200 tons daily, though it is expected to end today, and several other furnaces have begun production this month. The increase ol 9,301 1.1.. : t ...:.u .1 ,.r ions weeKiy in junc, uu uclisiik vm 80,400 tons in unsold siocks nor. of the great steel companies, implies a ; production of about 1,128,690 tons in une. Consumption wouul be 1,209,- 090 tons, and in the halt year 0,344,- 215, but for the fact that steel makers have stocked heavily against orders running through most of the year,' drawing from outside supplies, so that consumption may prove only 6,700,- 000 Ions, or even less. Prices are climbing, but only for the trilling sur- lus not covered by contracts, so that quotations represent but an insignifi cant part of the actual business. It is of more importance that new orders, though very many, seem no longer equal to the weekly output, except in few branches, while furnaces and other works practically abandoned for many years are being started again.

Statistician Sni-a That Thrr Snrnd flO.noo.ooo Annnnllr In the World's Mi'troriolla. Some Loudon statistician announce! that Americans spend in London mort than $10,000,000 every season, nnd. h declares that the greater part of tliii comes from the Amcrienns living there permanently or for some months nt 11 time, nnd not from the transient vis itors who stay for only a few days. The American entertainments ure said to be looked upon now us a regular feature of the season nnd play tin appreciable part in its brilliancy. Shopkeepers find that Americans are generally more lib eral in their dealings Hum English peo ple of the same wealth and position. The number of Americans residing per manently in Loudon is now estimated at 20,00(1. There nre nearlv ns innnv more during the average summer, ul though in years of expositions or sue- cialeventsthis figure is much increased. A Xew Yorker who recentlv returned from London was impressed with the small number of his fcllow-i-Itizcni who seemed to take up their residence there, 'the number of New Yorkers nmong the Americans who live per manently in London is said to be dls propoi donately small.

Considering how many huge hotels, constructed entirely of wood, nnd often in a more or less flimsy manner, are ' scattered about the country iu places where security from lire depends ul- most wholly on the watchfulness of proprietors and guests, it is, indeed, re- inarkublc that fatal conflagrations are not more numerous than they are. As a matter of fact, it is the old city hotel thut most often is the scene of a great catastrophe, not the big frume structure at mountain or beach resorts, though these, nt first thought, would seem to be much more convenient fuel for flames, snys the New York Times. It must be remembered, however, thnt the difference between the urban nnd rural hotels is more apparent than real. Stone or brick outside walls give no inflammability to a building with wooden, floors laid on wooden beams, and with scantlings covered with lath and plaster for partitions. As one of the otlieials said in discussing the trag edy nt the Windsor, the summer hotels are safer than they seem. They con tain few except kitchen fires, nnd their structure Is such thnt every inmate is moved to more carefulness than resi dents in the solider-looking buildings in the city think necessary. "TEDDY" IS A SAD BIRD NOW. Wvll Mt-nnlnu llald Kh1o Tlint Served Iijt llouu'h Millers' .lluxcot Unit Met Sore Defeat. After a well-meaning bald eagle has served us a mascot for the rougli riders nnd vanquished every other inhabitant of Ills cage since the war, it conies hard to bo thrashed by two buld-heuded in-' truders, who never saw Cuba or squawked defiance at hostile Spaniards. And doubly hard is it tu lie used ns an uuimnted mop by slill another pair of shiny-puted lighters, bays tho Xew York l'rcss. That is tho reason why "Teddy," the euglo who brought luck to Col. lioose- velt's regiment, now mukes his bed on a hard rock near the ground, while his four conqucroru look down on him from the highest perch of the eagle cage Iu the Central l'nrk zoo. "Teddy" was boss of the cuge until Superintend ent Smith introduced u pair of bald eagles named the "llenvenly Twins." They proceeded, by working together, to make "Teddy" hung his head in hu miliation, and another pair that was brought In later made mutter worse for the once proud bird. "Teddy" fought hard, but he had no more chuncn than tho Spanjurds whom he once de rided. . Clilueae Tenelier.

As the royal carriage rolled up to the station Sir John McNeill drew the nttention of Princess lienry of I'm ti i.bi rg ' the dog, anil the princess spoke to her maj esty, who was so interested In the story of "Tim" that idie nt once directed that he be brought forward to her carriage. Inspector Lush, on whom the order de volved, captured "Tim," u ho was rather negligently groomed for n royal recep tion, and brought hiui into the pres ence of the quern. She was sitting on the off side of the carriage, nnd the ilnir wns hronirht tin to the further side. Her majesty smiled when "Tim" wns held up for royal inspection, nnd re marked that lie wns "a noble old dog," while the princess dropped a sovereign Into the dog's Ikjx.

A Slranite Slur) front Vlemin De. crlliliiK the Wonderful I'.f-let-t iif l;iecirU-U. Two years ngo, according to the Vi enna l'renidenblutt, a Viennese mer chant brought back from a business trip in Africa a Soudanese negro 19 years old, named lbual Lacho. lbual soon learned the ways of Vi enna, beginning with the (leritiaii lan guage, astonishing the boulevards with elegant costumes and finnlly acquiring certain fuMiionable nervous disorders. These a famous neuropathic specialist subjected to electrical treatment. Strunge to say, lbual begun to grow white, gradually pnssing through the coffee-und-milk stages until Tie became in complexion Caucasian, though the shape of his face remained unchanged. lbual 's doctor thinks thnt the black pigment in the boy's skin was gradual ly disintegrated and washed out, as it were, by the electric current. The chief coloring matter, melanin, or pig mentum nigrum, found in the eye, lmir and skin of the negro, contains iron and strongly reacts upon electrical ap plication. American physicians will hardly know how seriously to take this report. It is well known, however, that negroes nre much more susceptible to the ac tion of electricity than white men. There have been scleral cases of the severe burning of negroes by the ap plication of the X ray. usually harm less to white skins. It is now general ly considered dangerous to X-ray a black man.
