Charles Augustus went up to the hotel
with two ideas fixed in his mind. He
was to return, like the Spartan hero, with
his shield, or upon it—in other words,
he was to bring back either the diamonds
“or their equivalent in ‘cash. Ae

wise men of Greece, was an unknown
quantity in the arithmetic of our Charles
Augustus. ad ¢
diterature in his salad ‘days, which were
aot yet over, to fill his soul with an une-
qual appreciation of things. Yor in-
stance, quite unknown to his parents, he
yearned to'be a detective. Cowboys and;
raiders were not much to his liking;
they lacked the element of respectability.
But to be a/detective, a sleuth-hound of
‘the law, to rise to the high position of
§nspector-in-chief of police; to be the

.yeach the 'ultimatam of his ambition.

T. JEFFERSON COOLIDGE,
T. Jefferson Coolidge, who has just been
appointed Minister to France, is a resident
of Boston, in which city he was born August
26, 1581, After his early studies in Boston
he went to Harvaré University, where he
graduated, and then went to Europe, where
he finished his education.
Atter spending several years abroad here-
turned to Boston and entered tho East
Indian trade, embarking in business under
the firm. name of Gardner & Coolidge, the
late Joseph Garduer being his partner. He
accepted the presideney of a manufacturin
company in 1858, which owned a number of
cotton mills at Lowell, and under his ad-
ministration the affairs of the company
prospered exceedingly. «
He went abroad about the beginning of
the war and resided for three years in
France, at the end of which time he re-
turned to Massachusetts and took charge of
the Lawrences Manufacturing Company. In
' 1880 Le gave up the manufacturing business
and entered the railroad Rustaess, accepting
the presidency of the Atchison, Topeka an
Santa Fe Raiiroad. This office he Yesignad
toaccept the presidency of the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation Company, which office
he only held for a short time.
Before this he had basen Treasurer of the
Amoskeag Manufacturing Company and
subsequently became Treasurer of the New
Hampshire Company, a& tion which he
still holds, He is also identified with the
Lawrence Manufacturing Company, the
Dwight Manufacturing Company, the Emery
Company and is a Director in the Burling-
ton and Quincey, the Kansas City, Fort Scott
Lowell and
and Memphis, the Boston and
com
other railroz panies. 3
At the Pan-American Congress he repre-
sented the interests of Massachusetts, Mr.
Coolidge has never taken a very prominent
part in Massachusetts politics, ‘and at one
time was classed as a Mugwump, having
joined the independents who organized the
oung ‘Men's Democratic Club, of Massa-
chusetts. Subsequently, however, he returned
to the Republican fold, .
He is at the head of many local charitable
organizations in Boston, and has personally
contributed largely of his means toward:
their prosperity. Among his benefactions
are the Jefferson Physical y ab
Harvard, which cost: 115.000. and the pub-
lic library of the town of Manchester, to-
ward which he contributed $40,000.

nificent train, loaded, as they were, Wit!
trans-continental passengers eastwa!
bound, were buried in the waters of a flood-
ed ravine. Third Vice President Springer
said latter that the accident was ca by a
water-spout filling the ravine and carrying
away the bridge. The train plunged directly
into the water from the broken rails, an

CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
An Improvement Noticeable in the
Country's Trade.
R.G. Dun & Cos Weekly Review of
Trade says: Business has been much retard-
ed throughout most of the Western States
by unusual and continued rains. Seeding
in many quartersis interrupted and distribu-
tion ‘of goods is checked. A somewhat
better tone appears ‘at the South and busi-
ness at the East is fairly active for the
season, Money is everywhere abundant, in
part because the demand is smaller than
usual.
Many coke ovens have stopped at Con-
nelsyille because the manufacture ig slack-
ening, but more inquiry is seen for rails.
Boston notes. unseasonable weather, and
yet a fair trade. At Philadelphia the grocery
trade is larger than a year ago, and the paint
and glass business fair. while building oper-
ations exceed last year’s by 14 per cent. At
Baitimoré trade is decide satisfactory.
Iron is slightly weaker at Pittsburg and the
glass trade not vushing, but the hardware
trade is exceptionally good. The demand
for coke is shrinking and prices are cut.
‘Trade in dry goods and hardware at Cleve-
land is good. At Cincinnati the shoe busi-
ness exceeds last year’s, but building and
the harness trades are unsettled by labor
difficulties, At Chicago dry goods are small-
er, but in other lines salesare better thana
year ago. AN
Wheat met the expected reaction, selling
off and recovering 2 cents. - Receipts an
exports are both larger, ‘but: stocks in the
country far exceed any probable demand.
Corn. has risen 2} cents, - with small sales,
andoats 4a cent, Cotton is 1-16. jmmber.
Pork products are a shade lower, an fee
weak at § decline. it
The money market is not disturbed. ' The
stock market has been disturbed by a sharp
decline in sugar stock, owing to reports of
legal action against the Trust and by diffi-
culties in the Richmond Terminal reorgan-
ization, But there has been less indication
of foreign selling within the past week. = .
The business failures during the last seven
days number for the United States 186, Can-
ada 23, total 209, as compared with 211 last
week, 201 the previous to the last, and 242
for the corresponding week last year.

THOUSANDS LOST BY FLOOD.
Appalling Destruction of Property by
the High Waters of Three Rivers.
OrTAWA, Irx., May 5.—The rain which has
swept this portion of the state since Sunday
night has ceased, but the immense floods in
the Illinois, Fox and Kankakee rivers are
still surging. Never in the history of the
State have the waters risen to so greag
height. At 7 o'clock this evening they had
attained a height of 18 feet above low water
mark:
‘At Marseilles the danger was greatest, and
the flooding of the town and the destruction
of millions of dollars worth of property was
only prevented by keeping several hundred
men at work on the levee all last night and
to-day. The leyeeis now out of danger.
Hundreds of square miles of farming lands
are under water.. The damage in this local-
ity is placed at $200,000.
