A BAREEL OF APPLES Sent From Syracuse fto Her Majesty, Qneen Victoria of England, DRAWS OUT SEVERAL LETTERS. The Royal Household Thrown Into a High Fever of Excitement THANKS ASD BRITISH GOLD EETUEXED. Recipient an! Bender Gratified by the Package of Yankee Fruit. ' rFrZCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DtSrATCH.l Syracuse, Is. Y., January 14. George Thorndill, who lives near this city, has been in this country since the fifties, but re tains a kindly feeling toward his old sover eign, "Victoria. Desiring to give a token of their affection for the Queen of Great Britain and Empress of India, on November 7 Mr. and Mrs. Thorndill sent her a barrel filled ith seven kinds of the finest apples raised on their place. The first response was re ceived four weeks ao to-day, and the letters that have been coming evfT since from the different bn&ches of the English court indi cate that the royal household must have been thrown into a state of high excitement over the barrel of apples from America. The first letter received by Mr. Thorndill was on roval paper, stamped "Windsor Castle," and is supposed to have been penned by the Master of the Koyal Household, though it was unsigned. It reads: Wixdsor Castle, 7th December, 1SSS. The Master of the Household presents his compliments to Mr. Thorndill, and has the honor to inform him that the Queen is very sensible of his attention in forwarding for Her Majesty's acceptance the case of apples which arrived here yesterday. OK HOME RULE TArEK. The next letter that arrived was printed iu a rich green that would answer for a home rule document. It is as follows: Board or Gkeen Cloth, "1 BucKiNcnAM Palace, s. y 27th December, 1SS& J Sir The Lord Steward has received from Bir Henry I'onsonberry your letter of tho 6th of November last, and desires me to sav that the apples which you wished to present to the Queen arrived safely, and are now being used in Her Majesty's service. I am to thank you for this kind intent ion of yourself and of your wife in making this offering. The good feeling is duly appreciated in high quarters, but as Her Majesty, by Itule, does not accept pres ents, the Lord .Steward must ask you to ac cept, as an equivalent of value, a small sum of 3, which he judges may represent the outlay. The Pay master of the Household has accord incly received instructions to send the same to you at Svracuse. Yours faithfully, Thomas. C. MARCn. Mn. George TnoitNDiLL, Syracuse, U. S. As the barrel of Yankee apples neared the royal presence the plot seemed to thicken, and the next to pay his respects to Mr. Thorndill was the Eoyal High Pay master, who evidentlv is called on to settle Her Majesty's grocery bills. This Is the note which the high grocery bill payer sent, accompanying the "cheque" for 3: the monet comes along. Paymaster of the Household, ) Sr James.' Palace, S. ., J London. 2)th December. 1SSS. ) Dear Sir 1 on have or probably will by this post receive a letter fiom Mr. March, of the Lord Steward's Department of the Queen's Household, informing you that I am to send you a cheque for the app'cs jou sent to Her Maiestv. I now inclose the chcaue for 3. and I should be obliged it ou would kindly sign the receipt for the same and pot it to me at the above address. Very truly j ours. George Mareable. Georce Thorndill. Esq. This is the receipt that Mr. Thorndill was to sign: The Lord Stewart Department, third class. Ho. AX. Received, 1SS9, of the Paymaster of the Household, the sum of 3 for apries sent to H. JL, Queen Victoria, in the quarter ending the 31st of December, 1SSS. Mr. Thorndill and his wife hope that the apples have got to the Queen by this time. They feel very proud oi their correspondence from the English court, and they like to think of the Queen of England and the Em press of India enjoying their Northern Spies and Spitzenbergs at Buckingham Pal ace these winter evenings, or a pie made from Onondaga apples. THE TLN MINE COJIFAXI. Stockholder Leave for Mexico to Bccln Work nl the Deposit. The Pittsburg and Mexican Tin Mining Company held a meeting upstairs in the office of Frank "W. Smith, Ko. 93 Diamond Etreet, and completed their organization. The following named gentlemen are the officers elected: "Walter P. Kelly, Presi dent; George H. Thurston, Secretary; Al bert J. Klaus, Treasurer; and Prank f. Smith, Attorney. J. A. McCormack and Christopher J. Dixon, who are heavy stockholders in the company, left Sunday for Durango, Mexi co, w hefe the mines are located. They will immediately let the contracts for the machinery necessary to operate the mines. A. large smelting works will be erected near the mines. From the reports read to the stockholders yesterday, they are fully satisfied that they own the richest denosit of tin ore in the world. The deposit is not only remarkable for the size ot the veins, but also for the great; percentage of metallic tin in the yields. A2J TJGIil FLAW Discovered in the Amendment to Change Voters" Qualifications. The fourth section of trie constitutional amendment to change voting qualifications to be submitted to the people for their ap proval is obscure and equivocal. It pro vides that every male citizen 21 years old, who has been a resident of the State for one yearpreceding and lived 30 days in the election district in which he votes before the election is held, shall have the right to vote. In answer to a letter of Mr. Morrison Foster, Secretary Stoue says that all he could do was to publish the bill as prepared. He docs not hold himself responsible for its bad grammar and obscure passages. It gives the bosses a chance to flood districts with floaters. An $1S,000 Fire. The residence of Captain J. D.

Timothy O'Lenry, Sr., ay it TVn but Natural for the Conrt to Discharge the Hard-Workinc Grand Jury No Oc casion for Fuss. Inasmuch as considerable surprise was ex pressed by evening papers in regard to the summary dismissal of the grand jury by Judge Collier yesterday, conjecture was rife as to the probable cause of the dismissal. The Judge said, in dismissing the jury: Gentlemen of the grand jury, you have been in session six weeks and a little over. Ve already hare more business than we will bo probably able to dispose of at this term. We are of the opinion that the interest of the public will be subserved by allowing the remaining cases to go over. By going to the commis sioners you will receive your pay and you are now discharged with tbo thanks of the Court. A prominent county official said, in re gard to the action of the Court: "This has no precedent within my knowledge or recol ection, and there is something behind it I understand that neither court nor attorneys have confidence in this grand jury. There fore the jury was discharged." Dispatch reporters last evening called upon several of the jurors, with the follow ing results: Joseph Stokely, the Fifth avenue drug gist, was indisposed, and could not be seen. Mr. Timothy O'Leary, Sr., said in sub stance: "I know no cause for this fuss or fun in the afternoon papers. The jury did a large amount of work; more; probably, than any preceding jury during its six weeks' existence, and it was but the natural order of things when it was discharged." Efforts were made to see Messrs. Barry, Boden and Justice, but owing to circum stances interviews with them were impossi ble. FEEPARIXG FOR TROUBLE. If a Rumpus Occurs nt tho Isthmus, Undo Sain Will be There. "Washington, January 14. The Secre tary of the .Navy has issued instructions to Bear Admiral Kimberly, commanding the Pacific station, to proceed in the United States steamship Trenton to Samoa for the purpose of protecting American interests on that island. The Trenton was at Panama at last accounts, watching the progress of events on the Isthmus. She will be relieved at Panama by the Vandalia, and probably the Mohican, now fitting out at San Fran cisco, and the United States steamship At lanta, now fitting out at New York, will be ordered to take station on the other side, near Aspinwall. There is considerable apprehension of trouble on the Isthmus, and it has been deemed advisable to have some naval ves sels there as soon as possible. AX TJXUSUAL DEVELOPMENT. Wonderful Increase in Ilic Amount of Acci dent Insurance the Fast Yenr. fSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE D1SFATCII.2 New York, January 14.-One of the most curious facts Ehown by an analysis of the past year's business reports is the un usnal development of accident insurance. Thereare now four home and two foreign com panies, beside assessment concerns, doing business in the United States. Of these the largest, the Travelers of Hartford,, reports heavy gains in all depart ments of its businesSj naving written over 111,000 travelers' accident policies in 1888, of which over one-seventh were paid claims for injury, amounting to $1,000,000. ClX'T BLAME THE MORTAR. The Inquest Shows Tbat It Was Quite Good in the Wilier Bulldlne. The inquest into the Wood street disaster was resumed yesterday by the Coroner. The evidence goes to show that the mortar pos sessed fair binding power. Captain Hunt, of the Pittsburg Labratory, examined a sample and reported that it contained four parts sand to one part lime. A better pro portion would have been three parts sand to one of lime. However, the general tenor of the testi mony proves that the mortar used in the wrecked building was not laultyin particu lar. FELL WITH AX ELEVATOR. Two Men Killed and Tito Others Seriously Injured nt Hooslc 7alls. Teot, N. Y., January J4. By the fall of an elevator at W. A.

FUMY, IF FMEREAL Select Council Wrestles With a Ques tion of Bnrial Caskets AND ATTENDANCE OPON OBSEQUIES .Chief Brown's Keport of the Disaster and What It Necessitated. COMMON C0UXCIL 0 GRADE CROSSINGS Yesterday's session of Select Council was as good as a play. The members had "lash- ins" of fun, though the subject was a grave one an ordinance providing against the spread of contagious or infectious diseases by indiscriminate attendance at funerals. During the session, however, the Presi dent read a communication from Chief Brown, of the Department of Safety, as fol lows: To the President and Members of Select and Com mon Council of tne City orJflttsburg: Gentlemen I deem it proper to officially notify you that on Wednesday, January 9, a seven-story building, known as tho Wllley building, situated on Diamond alley, near Wood street, collapsed and fell down during tbo ter rific wind storm of that day. Sixty-four per sons were injured thereby. 15 of whom are now dead. Said bnilding in its fall carried with it portions of other buildings, causing an immense wreck. This department, owing to the urgent neces sity, was compelled to employ a. large force of workmen, in addition to the assistance ren dered by the police and firemen, for the rescu ing ot dead, dying and injured, and I would respectfully ask your honorable bodies to pass a resolution authorizing the Controller of the city to pay the expense incurred therein, when said bills have been properly audited and passed by him. I desire to officially convey the thanks of this department to the many individuals, firms and corporations tbat rendered valuable assistance to this department, among them the firm of Booth A Flmn; Pier, Dannals fc Co.; Contrac tors James McKnight and Chaulk, the Alle gheny County Light Company, the Pennsylva nia Railroad, Joseph Home & Co.; P. F. Mass bach, of the Monongahela Sand Company; Sheriff McCandless, Mr. Carlin, of Allegheny; Councilman Hugh Ferguson, who risked his life to save the boy Gearing; Richard Pearsoll, and to the many physicians of the city, among them Drs. Oldshue, McCann, Sutton, Wiley and others. The financial loss to the business houses In jured in the wreck must b in excess of 100,000; the greatest loss to any one firm is that suffered by J. R. Weldin & Co., whose stock of goods was almost totally destroyed. Very respectfully yours. J. O. Brown, Chief of the Department of Public Safety. The report was received and a resolution authorizing the Controller to pay the bills in curred was passed. The resolution was then messaged to the Common Council and passed finally at once. t -WHERE THE FUN CAME TS. The first section of the interment ordi nance provides that the undertaker must place the body of each person whose death resulted from Asiatic cholera, yellow fever, smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid fever, scarlet fever, iu a close casket within six hours alter being notified. The first section was finally passed after amending by inserting 11 o'clock r. M., instead of 7 as the limit for the undertaker to receive notice of a death. The second and third sections were passed upon and adopted without amend ment, but the fourth section, which prohib its holding services over the remains of persons having died of contagious diseases in churches or chapels. The tilt heated some of the members for a row when tne ordinance regulating the manner and the time in which corpses should be buried when death resulted from in fectious or contagious diseases. The body had gone into committee of the whole, Mr. Robertson in the chair. Mr. Cox opened the ball by stating that doctors didn't know diphtheria from croup. Mr. Sullivan held that undertakers knew as much as doctors about contagious diseases, and then gave Mr. Lambie a stab by inti mating that they didn't know as much about them as either doctors or undertakers, and Mr. Skelton put in that he knew a case where a child died from croup and the doctor had stated that the disease was diphtheria. He didn't believe that scarlet fever was contagious. Dr. Evans admitted that it might be pos sible for a doctor to be unable to say whether a patient had membranous croup or diphtheria, but he argued that it did the dead no harm to be boxed up within six hours, no matter what the disease, and the interest of the living ought to be con sulted. Lawyer Lambrie came back at Mr. Sulli van, stating that he, Lambrie, didn't pro fess to know anything except what be had been told by good authority, and thought it sate to go to people who did know for in formation. He read statistics to show that in the last 15 years nearly three times as many people had died from scarlet fever and diphtheria as from smallpox, and that medical authorities pronounced the first two contagious. IT -WAS INCISIVE. There was a sharp discussion between Mr. Cox and Dr. Evans, and the last shot fired by the doctor was an assertion that Mr. Cox couldn't get the diphtheria if he wanted to. By this time the mercury was up, and Mr.'Sullivan's glasses danced down to the point of his nose, and he got into the hub instead of the fourth section, which, the fifth, restricted the attendance at such funerals, and did not allow the body to be taken into church. Mr. Sullivan insisted that Catholics must be allowed to conduct this part of such affairs to suit themselves. Though very much in earnest, Mr. Sullivan joined in the laugh at his expense, but nevertheless the discussion of the wrong sec tion went on for some time. Dr. Evans I don't think the gentleman speaks lor his church in the matter. Cath olics do not want to spread disease any more than do other people. Mr. Epping I move we adjourn. The Chair You are out of order. The committee of the whole does not adjourn. It rises aud reports progress. Dr. Evans The Catholics do not take corpses into the church in case of death from smallpox. The diseases we have been discussing are equally dangerous. Section 4, relating to time in which the body must be boxed, attendance at house and number of carriages allowed, was stricken our, someone in the lobby re marking that it was a VICTORY FOE UNDERTAKERS. Mr. Epping's motion to insert ten instead of six hours la the section requiring prompt action on the part of the persons having a dead body in charge was withdrawn before it was voted on. Dr. Evans The officers of thiscitv should get a big club after the doctors who, by a large majority, skulk about making th'eir reports, and seldom ever make themprompt lv, as the law requires. ' Mr. Skelton The Board of Health is just as negligent as the doctors. Chairman Robertson Well, never mind the Board of Health now; we'll give it thunder in the next ordinance. The fourth section was finally agreed to, but before they got through with the fifth Dr. Grimes moved that the committee rise and report progress, so that the ordinance still remains in the committee of the whole. A resolution authorizing and directing the Chief of the Department of Public Works to compel the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad to comply with the agreement made by it with the borough of South Pittsburg, previous to its annexation to the city and report within SO days, was adopted. Mr. Robertson, for the Thirty-fifth ward, presented a resolution indorsing the bill be fore" the State Legislature (Chief Elliot's familiar plan) which relates to the care of indigent insane persons. Several featnres of the measure wer'e read and explained by Mr. Robertson, after which the resolution, THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, I .--1 i. J I . "" UV TV - ' , .f-3 .

Common Council Wrestles With a Batch of City Ordinances.

An ordinance requiring trains to come to a stop at all grade crossings, and remain at a stop until the flagman goes ahead, and providing for a fine to be imposed on the engineer and fireman for violation, waa the most important one presented. A resolution was passed ordering a badge to be given to Fireman Peter Snyder, of Engine Company Ko. 1, for heroism dis played iu the Diamond-Wood street wreck. The legislative act to provide for the indi gent poor was commended. A number of appropriations to pay small bills were passed, and' there was a lively tilt over the assessment of Mr. Mark, a Smith field saloon keeper, who claims he is rated too high. The matter was referred to a special committee. Demulcent Shaving Sonp Is the most perfect soap ever made.

THE GOOD WORK GOES BRAVELY ON. x Down Go the Prices, KAUF a-ZRIKLA-l? and Sweep-Out has awakened bargain seekers to the fact that now, if ever, is the time to lay in supplies in Clothing, Cloaks, Shoes, Hats, Furnishing Goods and Trunks, if 'the object of the buyer is (o save money. We cannot, of course, go into particulars about every department, and have concluded to mention A FEW OF OUR SHOE BARGAINS: M00 PAIRS MEN'S GOOD CALF DRESS SHOES AT $1 25. We show these goods in all lengths and widths, and guarantee them superior to any 2 Shoes sold elsewhere. Don't fail to get a pair for $1 25. You'll never have another chance. 700 PAIRS MEN'S FINE CALF-SEWED SHOES, $2 50. Unlike other dealers we don't palm these Shoes off as genuine hand-sewed at fictitiously high prices, but sell them for what they are, viz: Best Machine-sewed. Their regular price is $4. 800 MEN'S FRENCH CALF HAND-MADE SHOES, $3 75. No shoemaker can make to order a better pair of shoes than these, no matter what he may charge, and no shoe store in the city sells the same quality shoes below $5 50, while many ask even $6 for them. ::: 950 LADIES' GOOD KID BUTTON SHOES, $!. ::: These Shoes are free from tacks, very comfortable and substantial, and are guaranteed to outlast any $2 Shoes bought in other stores. 1,000 Pairs Ladies' Kid and Pebble Congress Shoes, 98c. These Shoes are great favorites with elderly ladies. We have them in all sizes, and their regular price is $1 75. Get a pair for 98c. 875 PAIRS KID AND BRIGHT D0NG0LA SHOES. $! 98. These Shoes are excellent for street wear, being made of very tough leather and modeled in exact conformity with the human foot, thus in suring perfect comfort to the wearer. They are worth every cent-of $3. 60Q Pairs Ladies' Hand-Turned BrightDongoIaShoes, $2 50. A finer Shoe than these is hardly to be found anywhere, though we charge but $2 50 a pair for them. Before our sweeping-out sale, how ever, these shoes were sold at $4, at which price they were considered cheap by all who bought them. , ::: 2,000 PAIRS LADIES' RUBBER SHOES, 19c. ::: These Rubbers, though they are sold for a mere trifle, are perfectly waterproof. We have all sizes. Their regular price is 50c. 3,000 Bottles Bixby's Celebrated Shoe Dressing, 5c. Every lady knows that Bixby's French Dressing is sold everywhere for 15c Our price (only 5c) is but an indication of how WE UNDERSELL EVERY SHOE DEALER IN THE CITY.
