EGYPTIAN RAILROAD.
New York, N. Y.. May 6.—A special to
the Herald from Wady Haifa, says: The
head of the new railway is now at Murvat
. " " ~ . In tire last
few days the work accomplished under
Bimhashe? Girouard averages one mile
per diay.| The greatest drawback ex-
perienced.’ lias been to fetch from Surras
all the water for the laborers and the
guards, numbering 1600 men. There is
only'a small quantity of water at Murrat,
and it is not suitable for drinking. The
railway will probably be completed to
Abuenadmah on the third cataract.
The sirdar, continuing his return jour-
ney from Akasbeh, started from W ady
Abara for the head of the railway. Aft-
er inspection he left for Wady Haifa.
The fchali tie's total force has been esti-
mated at about 110,000 men, of which 40,-
000 are armed with rifles, but owing to the
enormous extent of territory that req'uies
guarding, it is impossible that lie could
concentrate more than one fourth of the
number to repel an attack of the Egyp-

stice of 1894.

THE FAMOUS RICHELIEU.
Chicago, Ill., May 6.—The red flag of

and the contents of the wine cellars for
which the hostelry has gained fame on
two sides of the Atlantic was begun. The

knell of one of Chicago’s famous and
most exclusive hotels. Ever since its
opening the Richelieu has been the favor-

city and also of members of the dramatic
profession, and, among the notable people
who have diiued in the hotel’s famous

CROP REPORT.
/ Galveston News.
The News prints this morning the first
of the series of crop reports for the sea-
son of 1896. The 473 Texas reports bear
an average date of May 2, and cover 147
counties.
„ An; analysis of these reports from the
correspondents of the News from the
ngrienltnral sections of the state gives the
, increased acreage of cotton as 20.8 per
cent, and a decrease of oorn acreage of
3,9 per cent. The acreage of oats has die-
creased, about 20 per cent. In the majori-
ty of instances there is no change in the
’ corn 'acreage; in some an increase is re-
* / iTUbd,. and in many others a decrease,
which is nearly always accompanied by a
substantial increase in the acreage of cot-
ton.. The decreased acreage of oats usu-
/ . ally means that much more cotton laud,
<ais the tendency seems to be to plant only
enough oats for home consumption, last
year’s experience not having resulted in
!■/ .. a quality good enough for the general
market.
The condition of all crops is good. As
regards cotton, it is in all stages/ A small
portion has not been planted. In 'some
localities it has not gotten above the stir-
■ face on account of dry weather, but prob-
ably three fifths of that planted is up and
usually a good, stand. Corn is up and a
good stand, but in a few ease's a second
planting was necessary. Oats are in good
shape, only on.? complaint of rust being
.made. Nearly all localities want rain.
Soni'e complaints of chinch bugs, weevils
hhd cut worms are made.
Owing to the late date to which the
spring rains continued, iall crops are 10
to 20 days late.
./ /■ ! The analysis of the reports as regards
cotton acreage shows the following re-
.. . stills:
East Texas, 52 reports, representing 19
y ■/?<counties, 14.3 per cent increase.
North Texas, 133 reports, representing
40 counties. 19.9 per cent increase.
Central Texas, 125 reports, representing
38 counties, 15.6 per cent increase.
Southwest Texas, 58 reports, represent-
ing 25 counties, 21 per cent increase.
The coast district, 73 reports, represent-
ing 25 counties, 33.3 per cent increase.
Both cotton and corn show an increase
in the coast country, due very largely to
the fact that a heavy influx of farmers
has been going on during the past year,
and much new land is being worked. In
nearly every section of the state where
the item of new land is mentioned it has
. boon put into cotton.
Fruit and; vegetable crops are
condition and promise well.■ /

WHY TAILOR GOWNS COME
HIGH.
For The Tribune.
It is a great deal better to have a sim-
ply made gown that does not pretend to
be tailor made than a badly finished tail-
or rig. Remember that in a tailor gown
there is no half way. It is like an egg,
either perfectly good or bad, and there is
no more place in the proper Order of
things -for a tolerable tailor rig than
there is for a,“pretty good” egg. In- the
tailor gown every wrinkle, every slight
detail about the collar, the general set,
the buttons, the (finish, all show and must
be exact. It may seem that a tailor made
dress is inexpensive, but to secure tailor
fit and exactness'you must pay. Don’t
try to save money on such a rig; save it
on your ball gown instead. It is safe to
say jf you see an absolutely perfect tailor
gown that it did not cost a cent less than
$100, and it may have cost $200.
That is a good deal for one gown, so
most of us think, and for us a more serv-
iceable medium for attaining jauntiness
is the sort of gown pictured here. It was
L
K-
LEOPOLD GODOWSKY.
Galveston is reputed to be a city of
music lovers. Leopold Godowsky has
reason to think otherwise. The faithful
few who sat amidst the vacant chairs at
Harmony hall last night were not suffi-
cient in number to sustain Galveston’s
reputation. Where were the others?
M by were they not there? Almost as
many people as were present last evening
went all the way to Houston, and paid
$3 each for admission to the auditorium
to hear Paderewski. But Gpdowsky isn’t
afflicted with a tawny pin cushion, neith-
er with “peculiar manners.’ He is just a
pleasant looking, unaffected young man
of 26 who can play the piano.
And if it is music that is desired, and
not the “fad,” Godowsky deserves to be
ranked with the best. His touch is ex-
quisite, his execution -simply wonderful-
shading and attack are perfect. The pro-
gram will show that his selections were
in the main familiar, but his interpreta-
tions were a revelation. The first two
numbers were difficult in execution, they
evidenced the talent of the pianist; but,
it was not until he played “The Invita-
tion to the Dance” that the audience be-
came aroused to the grandeur of the
music. Then they became thoroughly in
sympathy with ’Godowsky, they followed
him through the rippling of waters, the
singing of the birds, the crash of thun-
ders and the stol'ms of passion on down
through the program to the 'finale. And
then they reluctantly parted with him.
“Invitation to the Dance,” “Berceuse,”
“Polonaise” and “Waldesrauschen” were
the best numbers, save the last,, that over-
ture to “Tannhauser.” It is indescrib-
able. All instruments were playing at
once. Itidenlonstrated Godowsky’s re-
markable talent; it caused the best mu-
sicians -to wonder how he executed it.

SOLID VESTIBULED TRAIN
THE BEST ANDQUICKEST ROUTE
New York, N. 'Y.. May 6.—A dispatch
to the World fnom London says:
The British government still maintains
rigid silence concerning its action in re-
gard to Cecil Rhodes, in view of the dis-
closure of the cipher telegrams, but the
facts of Rhodes’ position have been as-
certained. Before leaving England for
Buluwayo, Cecil Rhodes, in anticipation
of the revelation of the cipher dispatches
which he knew had fallen into the hands
of the Boers, left his resignation as man-
aging director of the Chartered company
with .Mr. Hawksley, the company’s law-
yer, to -be used at his discretion. Rhodes
also left instructions that if his continu-
ance as a member of the queen’s privy
council was deemed inadvisable, his
name should be struck from the list.
Mr. Hawksley has nfow communicated
these facts to Mr. Chamberlain and the
cabinet will decide tomorrow whether to
accept Rhodes’ resignation or not. De-
spite (the recent revelations, there is a
strong party, both in the government and
among its supporters, totally averse to
adopting any hostile action towards
Rhodes.
The World’s correspondent hears, also,
that President Krueger has in his pos-
session, altogether, 500 incriminating tele-
grams, of which he has so far published
about a dozen. Many, of these still un-
publishe<Ljare understood tb be innocuous;
but of the others several will provide
very striking revelations.
The critical character of the situation
as between Great Britain and the Trans-
vaal before President Krueger’s masterly
use of . the captured / cipher dispatches
may be gauged from advices recently
given by 'Sir Hercules Robinson to the
Imperial government,;;' which had invited
an opinion from him on the policy to be
adopted. He replied that there were two
'courses open to the-’ipl>erial government,
cither to sit still and’/await Krueger’s
action towards the U-itlanders, or to take
immediate warlike measures. He favor-
ed the former policy, because it would
take 50,000 men to conquer the Transvaal,
to say nothing of The coiiseqiiential troub-
les and complications it Would entail.
COL. NORTH’S DEATH.
There is Something,..Apparently Myste-
rious iAbOllt It. / -
London, May 6.—‘The death of Col.
John James North, known throughout
the world as the nitrate king, is the chief
subject discussed -where groups gather.
Col. North died yesterday in the office of
the Guiana syndicate in this city. For
some reason the officials of the company
w ere extremely reticent in giving out the
facts in the case, the rumor of the death
of Col. (North having been emphatically
denied by persons who knew the details
of his sudden illness in the office of the
Guiana company. He had not been ill up
to within a very short time before his
death, and as the fatal sickness occurred
shortly after he had eaten some oysters
which had been sent in to him fnom a
neighboring restaurant, it is ‘believed pos-
sible that his death may have resulted
from accidental poisoning. There have
been many suggestions that poison might
have been placed in the bivalves by some
unknown enemy, but this is not consid-
ered possible, in view of the fact that
Col. North was a man of many friends
and apparently no enemies.
The police have taken charge of the
oyster shells in order that an investiga-
tion may be conducted, but a general be-
lief prevails that death was due to some
organic trouble. . , -■ ■■
■ Col. North’s racing horses, Clwyd and
Hebron, had been nominated in the
Kempland park jubilee stakes, but owing
to his death the nomiiiation will be can-
celled.
Owing to the reticence of= business as-
sociates it is impossible to obtain a de-
tailed statement of ithe circumstances
surrounding the death of Col. North.
One of the rumors discussed at the
clubs and theaters tonight is that in spite
of his reputation of being one .of 'the half
dozen ‘wealthiest meh .in the. world, (Col.
North did not possess the wealth which
business men as well as the social world
credited to him. Some of his European
investments turned out badly, his ex-
penses were enormous,, and it is known
that his business investnients in South
America in recent years have not paid
him as well as prior to his removal to
England.
MR. JEWELL’S TESTIMONY.
Says the Boers Like Americans and Hate
Englishmen.
New York, N. Y„ May 6.-The Herald
this morning says: A couple of weeks
ago Fletcher Webster Jewell of Johan-
nesburg. -South Africa, with his wife, ar-
rived in New York. They are Americans
who have been some years in South Af-
rica. Mr. Jewell has made a great deal of
money out there in -the-mines; ^He was
in the midst of the fighting consequent on
Dr. Jamieson’s raid and is a close friend
of John Hays Hammond, who is now a
prisoner, and Saturday will sail for S-outh
Africa with a petition signed by mem-
bera of congress for the pardon of Mr.
Hammond.
Mr. Jewell was the only Uitlander on
■the side of the Boers. He was present at
the meeting in the Gold Field’s building
in Johannesburg when the trouble be-
came serious.
Mr. Jewell wanted to know what they
were going to fight, and asked for fur-
ther information, and not getting any an-
swer refused to have anything to do with
the projected uprising.
“Englishmen and Americans had noth-
ing to complain of,” said Mr. Jewell, “for
every man of them had plenty of money
out there, which proves that the Boer
government was not tyrannical.
“The Boers and natives all like Ameri-
cans and dislike Englishmen. Americans
are on the very best of terms with the
Boers.
“The pass which I got to go through the
Boer hues I have preserved as histori-
cal.”

THE* CINCINNATI .HORROR.
iMore Bo dies Recovered from the Wreck.
Two- Dead.
Cincinnati, O., May 5.—The gasoline ex-
plosion in the building at 430 and 432 Wal-
nut street, last night, . has required the
attention of all the city departments to-
day. The street cleaning forces are work-
ing on the debris, while- firemen and police
are on. duty for squares about the wreck-
age. The casualties in the building are"
not as great as was thong-ht last night,
but there was an alarm -before noon, to-
day in adjacent buildings. In order to
rescue victims from .the debris'last night,
holes were cut through the .walls and
foundations of adjoining -buildings. At 10
o’clock today it was found that adjacent
walls showed the effects of either those
openings or the explosion and all occu-
pants of buildings, at 428 Walnut street
and 434 Walnut street were ordered out.
Meantime exaggerated reports were cir-
culated, about additional losses of life and
enormous crowds gathered.
. Felicia. Drach and C. L. Wells, who were
■in. the list of those, injured last night, died
today. The bodies recovered include Roll-
ing A. ‘Davis, Adolph Drach, Felicia
Drafih, C. L. Wells and Mamie Kennedy,
but workmen report two- other bodies in
sight that are not expected ’to be rescued
alive. The list of injured- includes 20 per-
sons, but the only one reported today in
a dangerous condition is John McCarty,
who suffered contusion of the abdomen, as
well as of arms, legs and head.
A body was taken to the morgue last
night supposed to be Mamie Kennedy.
Today it was identified as 'that of Ella
Singleton, employed in the wrecked build-
ing.
Mamie Kennedy is missing land is no
doubt dead.
Among others missing are Ruth and Mil-
lie, domestics of Louis Fey. Also Wm.
Meyer, employe of Fey, Barbara Strie-
kemp, Samuel Epstein, Mortimer Okne,
Louis Fosdick, William Louth, barkeeper
for Drach, Harry Langmead, Southgate
and Lightfoot.
Mrs. Adolph Drach, who -was held in
the -timbers -all night and rescued this
morning, is resting quietly at the hospital.
Williard E. Cook whose aims and legs
were badly crushed and head cut, is not
doing well.
Among others most seriously hurt are:
P. F. Hunurick, shoulder dislocated; Mary
Hutitzellma-n, head cut; Emil Dra-oh, 3
years old, arm and leg broken, cue over
eye; Peter Burs, concussion of arm, leg
and breast and scalp wound; Charles
Spille, contusion of arm, bad injury of
head, Joseph Spriggs, burned.
J. B. Ward of Toledo, -race horse man,
whose leg was badly cut by glass, has
been -removed from the hospital to the
Gibson house and is doing -well.
A dozen or more others, who were in-
cluded in the lifei=-.of injured last night,
have been discharged from the hospital
today or removedntio their .homes.
There is muichnindignation because the
explosion is said tos have been due to care-
lessness in emptying a barrel of gasoline in
a tank and leaving it so exposed that a
flash from deranged electric wires caused
the explosion.

found in mode colored cloth, its moder-
ately -wide skirt having two rows of
stitching above the hem, in addition to
rows of braid, at regular intervals that
terminated in bows at the bottom. The
jacket bodice had--a short ripple -basque
with pocket flaps at the sides, and was
designed to-be worn either open or closed
with cord loops in the manner indicated
by the small diagram. The blouse front
was of white satin with a draped satin
belt and collar edged with a narrow lace
frill. In front there was a yokelike
jabot of ecrue lace.
This -is just the sort of a rig with which
to don a shirt waist, but in choosing the
latter be sure to avoid the many mon-
strosities /that are; on the market. Gauzes
are made up with stiff linen collar's and
cuffs, and as if that were not a violent
enough assault on the proprieties, the
collar is -pierced and ribbon run in and
out through the holes to -tie at the neck in
a blow. Think of that! And women buy
these things! Do remember and be more
wise. Let the waist be either gentle-
manly and perfectly simple, or else let it
be as fanciful as you like, and don’t pre-
tend that it Is a shirt waist. Let is then
be what it is meant to be—a fancy waist.

■- KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Encampment Change -Causes Serious
Trouble, in the Uniform Ranks.
Springfield, Ill., -May 6.—According to a
local paper 'there is trouble in the Uniform
rank, Knights of Pythias, over the action
of the supreme Officers in changing the
'biennial session -of the Supreme lodge
from Minneapolis, Miinn., where it was
located by the Supreme lodge at their
biennial meeting in 1894, to Cleveland, O.,
bbcaasei/theft^flroads would not give the
knights ttiie: same rate of 1 cent per mile
tha’tvtJhey- offered the Grand army of the
republic. The ■ Grand army -meets at St.
Paul the first week in September. The
' Knights of Pythias. -could have changed
their date to one week later and secured
(the. same rate, but Supreme Chancellor
Ritchie and Maj. Gen. Carnahan of -the
Uniform rank declined to do this. Maj.
Carnahan has no authority and, in conse-
quence, no national convention will be
held this-year. The state assembly of the
officers is1 to be held at Chicago/ May 16,
when they; will decide Whether they, will
attend 'the brigade encampment at Min-
neapolis or the one at Cleveland, or
whether they will hold one in this state.
The adti'on of the supreme officers in
making t'lie change from Minneapolis to
Cleveland, seems to be generally con-
demned. The matter will come up at the
next meeting of the Supreme -lodge. If
the action of the supreme officers is sus-
tained the national encampments of the
Uniformed rank will probably be done
•away with.

A CHURCH ROW.
Highly Sensational Allegations Made in a
Suit Instituted.
St. Louis, Mo., May 6.—Some -highly sen-
sational allegations are made in a suit
brought in -the circuit court by F. H. An-
d-eson and Dr. W. H. Dickerson, elders of
Grace Presbyterian church, recently de- ■
sitroyed by fire, against H. J. Mulholland,
pastor of the church; John H. Wilson,
Charles -Morrison and Charles Means,
trustees of the -church, and Wm. H. Mark-
ham, the Connecieut fire insurance com-
pany the Greenwich insurance company,
the Liverpool and London and Globe In-
surance company, the London insurance
corporatlo-n, the Mechanic’s fire insurance
company and the Oriental insurance com-
pany, who insured Grace church against
loss by -fire, and George N. Cooper, J. T.
Donovan and the Buckeye improvement
company, which holds alleged- fraudulent
deeds of trust on the church property and
to whom -the insurance policies were as-
signed as an additional security. The
Buckeye improvement company is a cor-
poration of which Mulholland and mem-
bers of h'is family are said to be the only
shareholders. The suit is to enjoin the
insurance companies from paying the In-
surance money to Mulholland, Donovan
or Cooper. -Measures are being taken for
the removal of Mulholland from his pas-
torate.
