A dastardly attempt at arson was
tried yesterday morning. Jacob Pellow,
who rents n house of Thomas Wnl
key, was awakened about 1 o'clock yes
terday morning by a dense smoke In
his room. He at once called his family
nnd went downstairs to find the cause.
It was apparent at once that It was
the work of an Incendiary. The dining
room window hnd been onened and a
light applied to a chenille table cover
on a table near the window. The win
dow curtain, table and wnlnscotlng
was on fire, but the chenille curtain
being of wool would not burn, but
smouldered emitting a disagreeable
odor. Mr. Pellow. by throwing on a few
palls of water, extinguished the llames.
after the fire they letlred again, but
could not sleep. About 3 o'clock Sir.
Jijmes Martin, a neighbor, was awak
ened by the barking of his dogs. They
kept up such a noisj that he went and
l'.cked them up. A short time after
ward Eliza Pellow heard a noise, and
King to the window saw that the
house Mr. Walkc-y occupies was on fire.
Sir. Martin heard some one jump over
tho fence and run thiough his garden
when the second fire was discovered.
Sir. Pellow woke the occupants and
ntlghbors, and as the fire had gained
but comparatively little headway, by
means of a bucket bilgade this fire
was also put oil'. It seems almost
miraculous that the properties were
not burned, and It Is to be hoped that
the guilty party will consider well the
consequence and refrain from another
such attempt.

FIVE TITLES UOUGHT CHEAP.
An Amoricnn Financier's Healings
with UN Daughter' Husbands.
Prom the Chicago Post.
It whs evident that he was not only
pietty well .satisfied with himself, but
that he didn't caie who knew It.
"Fle dauihtets," ho said, "and ev
ery one of them married a title! That's
a pretty good record for a man who
wouldn't be considered rich enough to
buy mote than one hlgh-inte title!"
"I don't see how you did it," sug
gested the man who knew nothing ex
cept that the husband with a title was
otdinarlly quoted nt a pretty stiff ilg
ure "Oh, It's easy when you know how,"
leplied the self-satlslled man. "So far
C6 I am concerned, 1 would have pre
wired to many the girls to enterpris
ing young Amet leans, with no titles,
but their mother insisted upon getting
thm something more fashionable, and
when their mother Insists I have to
hump myself nnd see that things come
the way she wants them. I confess
it was something of a problem at flist,
but when I got it llgured out in my
mind and began playing the cards It
wns so easy that I was inclined to be
ashamed of myself for not trying some
thing harder."
Tho self-satisfied man stopped long
enough for the listener to suggest that
he would be glad to hear the story,
and then, In v lew of the fact that they
vote all matrled and publicity could
do no haim, he told it.
"I took all my available assets," he
explained, "nnd made them a dowry
for my eldest daughter. .Naturally
there was a rush for her, and she was
able to take-her pick of five. I rushed
inciters ns much as possible, got her
t.'arrled, gave up the dowry I had
promised, and then steered her titled
husband against the stock exchange,
where I gave him some bad tips, took
his trades mjself thiough a broker,
nnd won back all the dowry and part
of his ancestral estates. Then I gave
the dowry to my second daughter, got
her man led and plaed the same game
with her husband. I worked the
scheme right through the family un
til I finally mauled my youngest to a
bitonet yesterday. I got them to post
pone their wedding trip for a few dajs
so as to give me a chnnce to win back
the dowry before they had spent any
of It. and by day after tomorrow I ex
pect to be on Easy street again, with
out a caie In the world. If girls must
have titles, why I am In fnor of giv
ing them to them, but I don't believe In
contributing large fortunes to the sup
port of the tottering monarchies of the
old world, and. what's more, I don't
Pend to do It."

LATE HOURS.
A woman In society is obliged to
keep late houis. She must attend le
ceptlons and balls. She seldom allows
heiself a quiet evenlngat home. Her
whole time Is taken up In keeping en
gagements or entertaining at her own
home. How often does she dress for
a gland, formal occasion with throb
bing brow and ticmbllng hands. And
when she returns In the "wee sma'
hours" how often
does she sink In
to her easy chair
wit'; n sigh of
complete weari
ness. She Is too
nervous to sleep.
Her cheeks ate
hdt and fever
Islt.yet she sniv
els, with tho
cold. The cold,
somber dawn is
breaking; every
thing looks dismal and dreary aiound
her. Presently she falls Into a sleep
of perfect exhaustion, it is a sleep
full of unpleasant dreams, and when
she wakes It Is only to find herself
more tired, If possible, than before. If
every socletv woman knew the value
of Pe-iu-na nt such a time, If they
could renllze the lnIgoratlng,strength
enlng effect that Pe-iu-na would have,
how much misery could be avoided. If
the weary housewife, with her cease,
less round of duties; the overworked
school glil, anxious to graduate with
high honors; the haggard cleik, work
ing early and late for tho necessaries
of life, knew of Pe-ru-na and Its won.
derful recuperating powers, they would
never be without it. Some of its many
cures aro well-nigh mnrvelous.

WIIY SO MANY REGULAK, PHYSICIANS FAILj
To Ouro Fomnlo H1b Somo Truo
Airs, i'lnicnam in Moro successful Than
tho Family Doctors.
A woman Is slclc ; some disease peculiar tolicr
sex Is fast developing In licr system. She goes
to her ininity pnysicmn and tells him a
story, but not the whole story.
Khoholdssomethtng'back, loses her head,
becomes agitated, forgets what she wants
to say, and finally conceals what sho
ought to have told, and thus completely
mystlllcs the doctor.
Is It any wonder, therefore, that
tho doctor fails to cure the discasi
Still, wo cannot blame tho wo
man, forltls very embarrassing
to detail some of the symp
toms of her suffering, even to
her family physician.
It was for this reason that
years ago Mrs. Lydiu 12. Pink-
ham, nt Lynn, Mass., determined to stop in nnd help her sex. ITavlng had consid
erable experience In treating female ills with her Vegetable Compound, she en
couraged the women of America to write to her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, it was easy for her ailing sisters to pour into
her enrs every detail of their .suffering.
In this way bho was able to do for them whnt tho physicians were unable
to do, simply because she hnd the ptopcr information to work upon, and
from tho little group of women who sought her advice years ago 11 great
army of her fellow-beings aro to-day constantly applying for Ldvico and re
lief, nnd the fact that more than one hundred thousand of them hne been
successfully treated by Sirs, l'inkhara during the hist year is indicative of
tho grand results which aro produced by her imcnutilcd experience and
training.
No physician in the world has had such a training, or has such an amount
of Information at hand to assist In the treatment of all kinds of female ills
from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated diseases of tho womb!
This, therefoie, Is the reason why Sirs, l'iiikhum, in her laboratory at
Lynn, Mass., is able to do more for the ailing women of America than the
family physician. Any woman, therefoie, is responsible for her own suffering
who will not take the trouble to write to Mrs. Pinkhnm for advice.
The testimonials which wo are constantly publishing from grateful women
establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia L Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound to conquer female diseases.

NEARLY 400,000 UNION MEN FELL
Lnrge I'ercontnsc ol the Unknown."
The Dead in Southern Prisons.
Dlllictilty of .linking 1111 Approviiu ate
List--- Eighty three Cemeteries
Where They Arc Buried.
Wtltes Leslie J. Perry In the Sun:
Investigation long ngo detei mined the
queer lr.ct of the utter Impossibility
of determining with absolute accuracy
the number of deaths fiom all cnuses
of Union soldieis during the war of
the lebelllun. The grand nggiegate, of
com se. Is appiolmately known. With
in the Union lines the lecriuls of deaths
were so systematically kept and filed
from time to time In the War depatt
ment, there preserved, and subsetiuent
bo brought together and collated so
caiefully that the aggregate number is
now settled as near as It possibly ever
can be settled The statistics tue nir
enough to absolute ceitalnty to be sat
isfactory to historians.
The uncertain quantity, tho great
stumbling block to any close apptoxl
matlon of the melancholy aggiegate,
Is the deaths among pilsoncrs of war
in the hands of the enemy. The larger
proportion of the olllclal lecoids of the
Southern prison depots were lot or de
sttoed In the htuly-burly of the wJnd
up. There weie nt least a dozen pils
011s, of which only paitlal lecoids or
next to none at all were secuied. The
death lists of several of the most Im
portant stations hae neer been found,
and the only mode by which the num
ber of the dead at such, and many others-
was satisfactorily obtained was by
exh'umlng nnd counting the skeletons.
This wns such nn almost impossible
task that It was not wholly can led
out. and thus the total number of
Union dead In Southern prisons u
mains to this day and will ever le
maln an unknow n quantity.
SOUTHERN PRISON PENS.
At Salisbury, N. C, for Instance, one
of the leading and oldest of ihe Con
fedeiatc prisons, the dead weie burled
In tiers, sometimes two, three, and four
deep, averaging -M0 feet In length. No
headboards or other marks of identifi
cation weie set up; no record of the
names of tho dead seems to hae been
kept at all events, none hns been
found: no cofllns or boxes weie used:
the miserable bodies, Incased In their
own squalid rags, were bundled Into
the trench In the most expedltous man
ner, side by side, in a row 240 feet long,
over which a thin coating of dirt was
spread; then another tier of dead wns
put down on top of this bottom layer
of bodies, until the toeeptaclc was full,
when another tiench was opened. The
bodies In these trenches h'ao never
been exhumed nnd counted, and In tho
absence of olllclal lists It thus happens
that no exact knowledge of the number
of Union dead buried at Salisbury is
obtainable. Testimony elicited during
the trial of Major Gee, the last Confed
erate ofllcer In chnige of this prison,
Indicated that as many as 10,000 sol
diers might be burled In these trenches,
perhaps some of whom weie Confedei
ates, and others, again, political pris
oners and nondescripts. Olllcers of the
United Stntes quarteimastei's dcpait
mont, sent to Salisbury Immediately
after the war to put this burial place
In older, after a ca.reful examination
of all sources of Information, estimated
the number n 12,112. This figure has
been strenuously disputed. It seems
probable tint the Hue number lies be
tween 7.R00 and 12,11?, doubtless more
than tho first and considerably less
than tho last
GETTING AT THE TACTS.
These facts concerning tho Salisbury
prison alone must piove to any un
biased mind how indefinite nnd un
certain the original statements put out
of the deaths of Union soldiers in
Southern prisons must have been, nnd
necessarily so from the ery Insulll
dent data upon which they were based.
So long as thlity-two years ago an
olllclal statement of them was mado
eiy hastily by Secietary Stanton, fix
ing the aggregate at 2G.32S, Those weie
the then nsccitalned deaths by names
fiom army rolls. roll3 of honor, prison
rolls, etc., but tills aggregate sum did
not Include tho unknown estimated
dead, which at that time swelled the
known list to moro than 38,000 men.
But aside fiom nil estimates, the
records of tho War depaitment now
bear upward of 30,000 specific names of
soldieis who died In Southern prisons.
Tho additional names to the number
stated by Sir. Stanton In 1863 have
been ascertained thiough testimony
taken by the Pension olllco In the dis
posal of applications for pensions, and
the record is gi owing fiom year to
year, though in a decreasing ratio.

The authenticity of the figures Is un
questioned. Thoie nie thousands of
othets whose names will never be
known. It Is estimated by those In
the War depaitment fnmlllur with the
mortuaty record of the war that not
less than 40,000 Union prisoners died
in the South. Besides Salisbury, al
luded to aboe, 13,70. lie burled at An

THE GRIM RESULT.
Under an 01 dor Issued June 2, 1SS4,
by Adjutant General R. C. Drum, Mr.
Joseph W. Klikley, then having chaige
of all the olllclal returns and kindred
data of the Union Armv. prenared a
statistical statement of the deaths In
the Union aimy during the entire war,
from all causes killed In action, dtefl
of wounds, died of disease, killed after
capture, suicides, executed bv military
authority, executed bv tho enemy,
drowning and other accidental deaths,'
murdered, died of sunstroke, nnd all
other known and unknown causes. Mr.
Klikley was engaged upon this hercu
lean task almost pieclsely a ear, as
sisted bv a corps of Intelligent clerks.
On the 'HA of May, 1885, he made his
tepoit, embodied in a pamphlet mak
ing seventeen pages of figures in fine
type. This wns accomplished twenty
years after the war. Those who are
familiar with Mr. Klrklev's conscien
tious painstaking In un olllclal statis
tical Job of that kind know that he
has exhausted all the avenues of in
formation contained in the at chives of
the depaitment. In other words, ex
hausted the subject, nnd that his find
ings aie the complete and Indisputable
summing up of the whole Held. They
were accepted as final by the War de
paitment, nnd nie now the figures
used by nil historians.
Omitting the lull details of his tabu
lar statements, It Is sulllclent to give
tho totals of deaths found by this stat
istician. Ofllcprs. Men Total.
Total noti-prIsnneis....!),3'S 320 O', 330.030
Total prisoners 2111 ;1,279 j,49s
Grand uggregate.... !l,5s4 310,011 339,528
Since this statement wns made. In
1SS"., thiough Investigations mainly of
the pension olllce, ns befoie stated, an
addition of 779 names ot dead soldiers
has been mado, almost wholly charged
to the prisoner account, swelling the
known deaths of Union soldiers during
the war to the grand but teiribfo ag
giegate of 3K0,J07. The tenors of bat
tle ate ever betore the eyes of the
world: histories teem with pages de
scriptive of the carnage of the battle
field, vet Sir. Klrkley's grim array of
llguics shows that while 67.95S men
weie killed outright In action nnd 42.5S1
died of wounds, making a total of 10!),
03fl, more than double that number
died of disease, or, to be exact, 221,586.
It Is wotth noting that out of tho
moie than 2,000,000 Individuals who
were in the seivlce from tltst to last,
only 267 men were executed for crimes
