K0SQUIT0ES AND M 1AURIA. . 7., Kt-c'j IlichRro II. J.ewi, M. II, c y 8lnte Board of Ilcaltb, aundd us the following : The most prevalent disease in North Carolina, certainly from now until frost, ia malarial fever in one form or another. It ie by no moans confined 'to the low ynn Eastern section of the State, but is (jnitc abundant iu many localities in the hill conntry, having been reported even from Cherokee. l?y recent scientific investigation the cause of the fever has Uen shown to bo a microscopic auima kuown as the "plasmodium nmlari; or bun anift-ba vivax," which feeds upon the red corpuscles of the blood " hence the pallor of porsonssullor ing from chronic malaria. The de velopment of this little purasite iu the blood is ss follows : One of the sports, or baby germs, so to speak, enters a red corpuscle and, feeding on its contents, grows uulil at the end of twonty-four hours it has bo c.uno nearly as largo as the corpus- clo. It then, by a process known as segmentation, splits up into h dos-n or more little spores again, which lor a short timo are free in the blood and nuattached to the cor pnscles. It ia just as the segmenta tion occurs that the chill comes on, .which explains the periodic recur fence of the chill every twenty-four hours, and as it has been found that quinine is most effective in killing the germs while they are free in the blood and not buried in the sub stai ce of the corpuschs, the btrst time to give quiniue is just before the chill is expected The method of the introduction of the malarial poison, the Plasmo dium, certainly the chief method, has been demonstrated beyond all question to be the sting of a certain variety of mosquito known as an opheles, the common mosquito, which while more abundant is in nocent as a carrier of disease, being known as culex. The latter species will breed in still water of any kind, no matter how pnre, but the form er, our enemy, will only breed in stagnant pools in which there is a certain amount of vegetable matter, especially if there are no fish, such as top minnows or sun-perch, which teed upon the larva1 or wigglctails. This explains the fact that malaria is much more abundant after frci-h-ets, in the course of which the stream, getting out of Its banks, boles in the ground, and speedily falling leaves there stagnant pools with lew or no fish in them. Mos qnitos are very much more abund ant this exceptional year of fresh ets than Dsua). It also explains the danger"bf brick holes. The larvR, or wiggletails, as we generally call them, are the young mosquitoes. Although they live in tbe water from the time they are hatched from the eggs which were laid on the surface until they reach maturity they cannot live without air they must breathe. Contrary to the general rale, they breathe "wrong end foremost" through a long breathing tube which springs from the body near the tail and which they stick out of the top of the water when they waut air. The ' bearing of this arrangement on their destruction will appear later. There is a popular misapprehen sion in regard to the movement of mosquitoes. 1 be general impression is that they are carried by the wind, and people at the sea-side eat that a land breeze brings mosquitoes. - it is a fact that they are more abund ant when the breeze is from the land or in a calm, but according to those who know best the fact prob ably is not that they are blown from tbe swamps to landward, but that they simply come out again from the trees and shrubbery and the jca ei ie of houses where they had taken refuge from the strong ses bretze which was too rough for their fragile bodies. With rare exceptions they travel, it is said, seldom more than a mile, and generally not so far. When one is troubled with mosqui toes a careful search ill almost al ways reveal stagnant water in the sear vicinity. Tbe destruction of mosquitoes and the consequent prevention of ma laria ie accomplished in tw ways: First and beet, by the thorough drainage of all etagna.it pools of wa ter, and second, by keiping the sur face 'of such pools covered with pe troleum, what k known as light fuel oil, or even the crude petroleum be ing better and cheaper than ordin- ' ary kerosene. The quantity neces sary it oDe ounce or two tablespoon- jfuls to every fifteen fquare feet of surface, repeated every two weeks. This oil method was employed with great success last year by the city , of Winchester, Ya. Some care aud a little exj.et)se in securing protec tion agaitiet motquitces and in r-rc- Tiding a supply of pure drinking wa'er will practically insure against malaria.

Officials of Sleel Trust and Strikers Fall to Agree Neither Would Concede a Point and tbe Struggle Is Renewed. Now York, August .5. Another effort to perfect a truce between the great army of s'oel workers and the giant corporation which employs them has failed and to-night the con flicting sides are as sharply aud wide ly divided as ever. The meeting between the repre sentatives of the strikers and the of ficials of tho Stoel Corporation was arranged by telegraph last night and sprang from a mutual dot, ire for peace. President Shaffer and his brother r.flicers of tho Amalgamated Ass( ciatiou left Pitttiburg last night and reachod Aew 1 ork at 8 o clock this morning. At 10:.'J0 o'clock Pres- idei't iehwal", of tho Sicol Com pauy, received the representatives of lubor at the olhco of tho Corpor itioti and conducted them to tho consuming rooms of tho directorate J. P. Morgan came to tho confer ence, accompanied by Ilobert Bacon, one of his local partnors, and U. L, Dawkiiis, head of the English house of Morgan it Co. ; I). G. Reed, of tho American Tin Plato Company, and other otlicials of the other com panits of the Federated General Stool Corporation also joined tho conference, and the conference was formally opened some time after the appointed hour. Mr. Schwab spoke first for the employers, and was followed by Mr. Morgan. They declined to make any modification of the terms o4Tcr i (1 by them just one week ago, when Messrs. Shaffer and Williams came here for the tirst conference. Mr. Shaffer and the other men of the Amalgamated Association insist ed that more libera! terms bo offered to them. There was a general die cussinii ss to the whole proposition involved, and each mill, tho union ization of which has been disputed, was considered in detail. Wheu euch side had f l. 1 1 y expressed itself, the steel officials withdrew from the room iu order to let the labor ropro sentalivis confer privately. The latter decided to rtj-ct tho oiler of the b'etl corporatinn, and when Mr. Schwab returned to the room, they so informed him. Mr. Morgan and his two partners withdrew almost at once, aud a little later the Amal gamated men took their leave also. President Shaffer declined to say a word in addition to the formal state nient which was given out by Sec retary Williams, and his companions were equally reticent. Shaffer ask ed that the s'atemeut be printed in full, saying that the strikers wished the public to understand their posi tion. Not an intimation of the future policy of the Amalgamated Association in waging the great in dustrial battlo which it faces, could be obtained from any member of the party. Shaffer seemed grave and serious, despite the vindication which his companions gave him. in their official statement, while the other Amalgamated men seemed in very high spirits. Shaffer paid the bill for the party at the hotel and left, 6aying he intended to take the first train to Pittsburg. When the Amalgamated men left him Pretideiit Schwab went at once to the ofliceof J. P. Morgan aud had a talk with Mr. Bcon. He went home early in the afternoon, as did all the other men who represented the corporation in the final debate on the issues which divided them and their men. It is believed here that the steel corporation will at tempt to operate some of its mills indepe-ndent of the nnion, and that Amalgamated Association will call upon those in sympathy with them to strike. If there are no further efforts at conciliation and the strike is extended, it may develop into the largest conflict of the kind in the history of the conntry. At a secret session of the Amal gamated Association, which lasted for over two hours, the following statement was given to the press: 'We, the members of the execu tive board of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and liu Workers, considering it incumbent upon us to enlighten the public through the press, with reference to 'he preseui relations between our association and the United States Sted Corporation, present the fol lowing staleineut: "The officials of the Uuited States Steel Corporation, instead of resum ing negotiations where they were tnspended at the conference held on July 11, 12 and 13, have withdrawn she propositions made at that time and are now offering much less thau they agreed to sign lor then. The following is the proposition which the United States Steel Corporation gave us to day as its ultimatum : "It will be observed that the pre amble statee simply that tbe Un ted States Steel Corporation officials will advise settlement by thef under lined companies : "Preamble, conditions under which we are willing to advise a settlement of the labor difficulties: Tin Plate Company Shou'd proce'id under the contract signed with the Amalgamated Association as of July 1st igoi. "American Steel Hoop Company Company should sign the 6cle for all the mills owned by the Ameri can Steel II oop Company that were sighed for last year. "American Sheet Steel Company Company should sign the scale for all the mills of this company that ere signed for last year except the o'd Meadow mill and tbe Saltsbure mill." - "We desire to preface our propo sition by directing attention to the fact that it is a modification of that which vu offered originally. At the last conference, as at tlre pre ceding it, we required tbe sitrnature of tbe wa!e lor all the mills owned I and operated by tho United States Steel Corporation, while in tho prop osition given below we ask that the scale be signed for none but tuoso mills which a,re organized and where tho men ceasing to work have signi fied their desire to be connected with the Amalgamated Association. "This modification has been made becniiso the trust officials declared that we wished o force mou into tho organization ai st their will and desire. We, therefore, asked that the scale be signed for only those men who desire it. "Now & 'iiies the proposition of the Amalgamated Association: "We, tho members of the execu tive board of the Amalgamated As si ciation, hereby present this propo sition as a reply to that received from the steel corporation : "Sheet mills All mills signed for last year, with the exception of Salts burg and Scottdale and with the ad dition of MeKeesport and welisviuo. "IIooo mills All mills now known to bo organized, viz : Girard, Yonngstown, Greenville, Pomeroy, Warren, Lindsay, McCutcheon, Bar mill, Clark, Monesaen, Mingo, 12 inch, 9 inch, and hoop mills of the Cleveland rolling mill company. "Tin mills All mills except Mo ncsson. "Note All other matters of do tal! to be left for settlement by con ference. "We furthermore wish to state that our purpose in coming to New York was not because wo doubted our president, T. J. Shaffer, and our secretary, John Williams, who have our confidence and endorsement, but in tho hope of obtaining a settle mont of the strike." Germany and Colombia. It is hard to see how Germany can find any plausiblo ground of complaint against Colombia for tho arrest of a Colombian revolutionist on board a German steamer. Co lombia could complain more reason ably of the conduct of tbe captain and crew of the German ship in oh 6tructing tho execution of her laws. No principle of international law is better settled than a merchant vessel is subject to the jurisdiction of the authorities of tho port in which it happens to be. The Bar rundia affair, which has been cited as an example of a different view on tbe part of tho United States, was not a parallel case. Barrundia was killed by the Guatemalan authorities on board the American mail steamer Acapul co in an attempt to arrest him, after the captain of the steamer had been advised by Minister Mizner that the arrest would be legal. Our Government did not deny the juris diction of the local authorities, but Secretary Blaine censured Minister Mizuer for interfering in their be half, and Secretary Tracy repri manded Commander Reiter, of the Thetis, because he had not inter cepted the Acapulco before she ar rivod at port and offered Birrundia an asylum on his ship. Even in that it ia generally agreed now that Blaine aud Tracy went too far. Of course if the German flag was intentionally tramped upon or other wise insulted, that raises another question, and an apology may be in order. But the mere arrest was entirely within Colombia's rights. N. Y. Journal. Rain in Texas. Dallas, Texas, Aug. 5.

AOt hiArliig 1111-!! je ,ts rlU WHITE POTATOES ON A BOOM And the Prices of Vegetables Go Out of Sight A Potato Famine. Woodstown, N. J., July 31. The farmors in Salem county are getting $1 per barrel for white (Irish) pota toes, and higher for the best quality. Fair crops aversge over $100 an acre on the gronnd, and many two horse loads contain $100 worth. Woodbury, N. J., July 31. The white potato crop, which has been soiling at Willica ilill at $4 per bar rcl for several days, have advanced to $4.15, and farmers are happy. Tho Philadelphia ltecofd says; 1 ho plebeian potato is pnttina xn airs, and among the Dock street pro duce men tho homely vegctahfo ie selling at $4 and $4.25 a barrel, wholesale. It is predicted that the price will reach the $5 mark before conditions are relieved. Chicago, 111., August 1. Vege tables, fruits and almost all food pro ducts are higher than ever before Teas, beans, lettuce and tomatoes are up 100 per cent, and potatoes have quadrupled in price $1.40 a bushel, fruits have doubled, and eggs and butter are up 40 per cont. over last year s prices. Greenbackville, Va , August 1. The yield of potatoes this season has been phenomenal and prices are vory high. Philadelphia, Pa., August 1. The scarcity of potatoes all over the coun try has become a serious mattor. Never before has the produce mon been offered such prices for potatoes as were tendered to day. Boston is sending telegrams for consignments at $5 a barrel. Loug Island, which furnished the New England States and New York city, cannot ship a single carload. Uhicago, Ulevelaod, Pittsburg, and cities in Western Pennsylvania, which usually supply the early potatoes for Philadelphia markets, are pleading for supplies at any price. The Jersey crop is expected to relieve the situation nn til tho lata potatoes can be harvest' ed, but even the outlook for the fall is gloomy. In the potato-growing region of Pennsylvania the fields are the finest in years, the plants are largo and healthy, full of buds and not hampered with bugs, bnt when the stalks are pulled up no potatoes are found. The Jer3cy crop is about 00 per cent, of the normal produc tion. In Long Island, the yield is about 30 per cent. Pennsylvania farmers in certain sections had no crop, while others not far distant, and in many cases in adjoining fields had a fair yield. I he W est has bar vested only a third ot an average output. Tho Virginia crop was enormous, and the Carolinaa had a CO per cent, yield. The Southern crop has been coneumed. Now the country looks to Philadelphia for relief. A local potato merchant held thirty telegrams in his hand yester day, all from Boston, pleading for potatoes. Hotel and restaurant men along the wharf yesterday shudder ed when told what they had to pay for tho Irish tnber. The mosquitoes in the Eastern counties are dreadful this year. Pop -Fizz!

C, and bis prediction this week of tho early ending of all things terrestrial is told by the Burlington News: "There is hardly a man, woman or child living in or near Burlington who does not know Uncle Josh Hop kins. 11 is steps are feeble with age and his eyes tire nut so bright as they used to be, but the old man is still a close Bible student, and we were talking with him this morning and he asked us if wo had been noticing the heavens much lately. Well, he said he had been watching the sun sot, and the stars at night, and had been reading the prophecies of Dan iel, and he. believed we were living in the very last days of time, and we told him we thought so, too. lie said the sun for the past five months had set either behind clouds or in a mist, and that the stars have not glittered and twinkled as they used to do for the samo length of time. Tho old man's eye was set on the future and he went on, telling us of tho past and the future, how that in tbe last days kings would rise up and nations across the seas would be conquered when tho angel in white linen should make his proclamation. Uncle Josh is an interesting old geutloman, and he certainly seems assured of a seat in tho groat garden of the beyond, and wo hope that such may bo his lot." - The World Is Slowly Baking Up. Chicago, 111., July 31. Extreme temperatures will kill all mankind, asserts Professor Ludwig Marien burger, Ph. I)., a graduate of the University of Berlin, who is in Chi cago. He explains this summer's excessive heat on the basis tbat in its annual revolution about tho sun the earth is approaching nearer and nearer to that orb every summer and getting farther and farther away every winter. The ultimate result will be that humanity will go through a process ot baking and freezing until tlicro is no living be ing left. He says "ages may elapse bef ore conditions become such that no animal life can survive on this sphere, but that time is coming." What h Tale It TclN.

A fcrrilic explosion Id a block of six build ings on Locust street above Tenth to-bight, complotuly wrecked live of the structures and caused the death of from ton to twenty or more persons. Over two score of others wore more or less ooriously injured Some of those taken to the hospital will die. It is estimated that at least thirty persons were in the five buildings when the explosion oc curred and the exact number of doad will probably not be known for twenty four hours. s On Sunday afternoon several young men were bathing in a swim ming hole in Grindle creek about eight miles from town. Theyewore amusing themselves by standing on a log and diving oil' in tho water, turning a summersault in the de scent. When Mr. Percy Manning was making a jump from the log his footing slipped and instead of falling in the deep water he fell where it was very shallow. The back of his neck and shoulders catching the force of tho fall on the sand, his spinal column was dislo cated near the neck. Ilia comrades seeing the accident quickly pulled him out of the water and prevented his being drowned. Mr. Manning was taken to the home of Mr. J. It. Darnhill and a physician sent for. Dr. W. II.
