It notes swift elevators in Amador County California and a jail hymn, then shifts to taxes in Guayaquil and fire insurance costs. A Tiverton clergyman aged 101 dies after outliving doctors, a sand-bank rescue reveals a father’s son among victims, and a Danish kingship cycle spans Frederick and Christian names.
