were lately sold at -this .rate in New
York for brewing purposes. Quassia
yields a strong, bitter flavor, and is
not an unhealthy tonic. Aloes, col

In demand 'by the brewers, are quite
&i bitter as quassia, but are hardly the
'substance which one would like to
take in a -beverage. It weo the
opinion of the National Druggists'
Convention at 'Cleveland the other

brewers were likely to be among1 the
-most profitable customers of the mem-

PREDICTIXO A GREAT STORM.
An Astronomer Who Looks for Wide
spread Destruction-In March.
Washington, Dec. 1. The President
has received the following communi
cation, dated November.27, from Pro
fessor E. Stone Wiggins, LL. D., -astronomer
of the Canadian finance de
partment: "May it please your Excellency.
On the 23d of September last I an
nounced through the Canadian press
that a great storm would occur in
March next; that it would first be felt
in the Northern Pacific; would appear
in the Gulf of Mexico on the night of
the 9th, and, being reflected by the
Rocky mountains, -would cross this
meridian from the west at noon of
Sunday of March 11, 1883. No .vessel,
whatever her dimensions, will' be safe
out of harbor, and none of small ton
nage can hope to survive the tidal
wave and fury of this tempest. -As.
the wind will blow from'the southeast
the planetary force will be sufficient to
submerge the lowlands of the Ameri
can coast, especially those bordering
on the Gulf of Mexico and washed by
the Gulf Stream, while the air currents
for several hundred miles along the
east side'of the Rocky Mountain-range,
owihg'to the great atmospheric pres
sure in those regions, will spread uni
versal destruction. The New Eng
land Staets will also suffer severely
from the wind and floods. No point
outside of harbor In the whole. area of
the -Atlantic, especially north of the
Equator, will be a place of safety, for,
this will be preeminently the greatest
storm that has visited 'this -continent
since the day of your Illustrious 'first
president. In view of this event, there
fore, I Wke'the great liberty of repre
senting to your Excellency the advisa
bility of ordering all United States
ships into safe harbor not later than
tliefitb of March till this storm be
passed."

'Overooine ry Sulphur.
A REMARKABLE OCCURRENCE, WITH
OUT FATAL RESULT, AT A READING
FOUNDRY.
Reading, Nov. 80. A strange and
remarkable accident took place in the
foundry of the Reading Hardware
Company, yesterday, by which twelve
men were overcome with sulphur and
rendered deathly sick. The men were
engaged in various parts of the works
when suddenly a dense volume of sul
phur was forced from the cupola and
driven in all directions among them
A dozen of the number wereovercome
at once and they dropped to the floor
and commenced vomiting violently.
Other employees fromrf.he mill were
quickly summoned and the sufferers
were carried out and medical aid
promptly summoned. Two of the af
flicted parties were taken home, suf
fering severely while the lemaiuder
recovered in a few hours and were al
lowed to leave unassisted. The den
sity of the upper air seemed to have
prevented the sulphur from escaping
iu the regular way and the accumula
tion wus forced unnaturally into the
foundry.

ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE WHO SPECU
LATED IN OIL WITH OTHER PEO
PLE'S MONEY.
Buffalo, Dec. 3. An ugly rumor has
been current nere for 'Several days to
the effect that 8. W. Gilbert, cashier
of the Luke Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad, has been proven a
defaulter. Jt transpired to-day that
Gilbert has fled to Europe, and is short
iu his accoi.nt.-t about $30,000. He has
been accustomed for years to dabble in
railroad stocks, corn, wheat and oats,
and has amassed a snug fortune by
judicious investments on the various
board. When the lute advance in
oil came, Gilbert was on the bull side
and made money ; 'but before the
market reached the top he went short
and lost more than he had previously
gained. At the juncture Gilbert at
tempted to save himself by borrowing
the funds of the railrond company
then in bis possession. He hud used
about $30,000 that did not belong to
him without Improving his condition.
The upshot was that he fled without
even notifying his wife of his inten
tions. He Is known to have a draft
for $3400 cashed at the North Bank of
the Republic In .New York since
leaving here. Parties In New York
say that he is now on the ocean.
A Remarkable Burglar.
MaryMorris, a petite fourteen-year
old girl, witli a remarkable sweet face
which seemed to beam with childlike
innocence, was sentenced by a Chi
cago court to two years in the home of
correction, she having pleaded guilty
to fourteen Indictments for burglary
and larceny. The judge remarked
that it was one of the most astound-,
ing cases of which he had ever heard.
This girl is the most remarkable bur
glar of modern times. For the past
two years she has plied her vocation,
commiting innumerable daring bur
glaries by night, and well nigh filling
the house of her parents with dress
goods, jewelry, diamonds and articles
valued at $10,000. A large part of the
plunder had been -disposed of, the
revenue supplying the entire wants of
the family. Elght hundred Indict
ments could have been found. The
story of her crimes and escapades
would fill a ponderous volume. Her
mother, Helen Morris, was sentenced
to three and a half years in the peni
tentiary as an accessory. '

Faots which give a Healthy Tone
to the Oil Market.
Bradford, Nov. 30. The monthly
report of oil operations for .November
shows that there are on the lastlay
of the month 141 rigs up and 'building
and 150 Wells drilling in all the 'fields
against 124 rigs and 109 drilling wells
in October, a decrease of six. Many
of the drilling wells have been stop
ped during the past few days for want
of water, and, as there :1s a foot of
snow on the ground and the weather
is cold, there is little .prospect of a
resumption of this claps of work at:
present. The number of wells com-'
pleted in all the fields iu November
was 149, giving a daily output of 1780,
barrels with twenty dry holes against
116 wells completed in October with a
daily production of .1802 barrels and
twenty dry holes. The increase in
the number of wells completed, ac
companied by a decrease in produc
tion, indicates the smaller calibre of
the November completed wells, while
the twenty dry holes, a number un
precedented save in October, shows
that a good portion of .the drilling lias
been done on the outskirts of defined
territory and that the "wildcaier" has
come to grief lu most of his ventures.
In Cherry Grove there is not.to-day a
rig building or one ready to commence
operations, and hut twenty-eight wells
were completed dtrring the month,
three of which were dry and the
remainder added but 280 burrels to
the dully production, an average of
but eleven and one-half barrels to the
well. In the field where two months
ago less than InOOd barrels were con
sidered almost h failure, the same
trouble which prevents tliecompletiou
of drilling, want of water and cold
weather, also militates against the
operator who is compelled to pump
his well to obtain his production, and
a treat many of this class of wells are
shut down anu must remain so until
warm weather and a thaw or rains
occur. These facts taken lu connec
tion with the known decline of till the
old fields, have given a healthy tone
to the market, and a feeling of confi
dence prevails .which lias not before
been experienced since the recent
pa-nic. In Forest county, the Anchor
well, which proved such a scare to the
trade, ha settled down to not more
than one hundred barrels, and many
ihink it is not doing over seventy-five
barrels. In the meantime those who
were induced to enter the new field by
the success of the Anchor well, have
in many pluccs come to grief. Seven
dry holes having been found, and this
comprises all the wells completed.
