Several Kitchen Ranges Collapse, and Considerable Damagcec Donc—EXplo= sion of a Powder Mill—Several Pera sons Killed and others Wounded. Crxonwsaty, Dec. 22.—A terrible oxplosion, involving probably the loss of life, took place at the house of Colonel Monlton this morning. The eervant girls had fired up tho kitchen range, ‘when the hot water pipe bursted with a Ioud ex- plosion, tearing the range to atoms, wrecking the furnitare, hurling Kate Coner, a servant girl, violently against the weall of the room under a heap of embers. Her injuries from bruises were fearful and her clothing was also et on fire. Colonel Moulton succeeded in ex- tirzaishing the girl's burning elothing, but not before she was g0 injured, that her desth this evening is momentarily expected. Colomel Moulton was badly burned about the face ,end hards. Another servant girl in the Litchén was only slightly Lurt. The water in the pipes -outside the stove had frozen. preventing circulation. The force of the explosion must have been terrible, for the stove was torn to pieces. The walls, ceiling. and windows, as well as the furniture, were fearfully demaged. The same sort of explosion occurred with an slarming report, sbout- the same time, at the Henrie House. The guests of the hotel were frightened, and rushed down stairs, dragging their baggage. Fortunately no one was hurt, and the damage was comparatively light. The last-named explosion is attributable to the same cauee as the first. LateR.—The Henrie House explosion in the water-pipe, injured Bridget Gorman slightly, ‘but painfally, by a blow froma fragment of iron. Bevaral other servants in the room escaped. A piece of metal weighing 150 pounds, was thrown through a window into the street. BURG, Pa., Dec. 20.—Mrs. Samuel Enox, residing on Walnut street, was killed thia morning by the explosion of a cooking range, the water-pipes having frozen. Bax Fraxcrsco, Dec. 22.—An_explosion took lace at the Hercules Powder Works six miles m this city yesterday afternoon. Two Chinese workmen were killed, Cook, the foreman, was geriously injured afterwards by burning acids. It is stated that the explosion was caused by his intoxication. He will probably survive. CrNcIsxATI, Dec. 22.—A third explosion of the hot water pipes in the cooking range occurred at the Great Western Hotel, & sm: house of entertainment, this momin;% Cause, frozen water in the pipes. Alrs. Hoess, wife of the ‘proprietor, was injured by & stroke from & frag- ment, and by a scald. A fourth explosion occurred in the private dwalling of Dr. P. F. Maley. No one injured. Crzverap, Dec. 22.—Tho kitchen rango st 3 the houso of_E. S. Flint, Superintendent of the C., C., C. & I C. Railway, oxpleded this morn- ing with tesrible force. The ceiling walls and fumiture of the room were completely demol- ished. Noone washurt. The freezing of the water in the pipes was the cause of the explo- eion. CITY AND SUBURBAN SCORCHINGS. Destructive Fire on West Lake !Street— Incipient Blaze in the North Divise ion—Two Secrious Fires in the Town= ebip of Myde Park. Yesterday morning, about half-past 9 o'clock, Ofiicer Hinkley, of the Sixth Precinct Station, while traveiling hus beat on’West Lake street, ob- eerved the first outbreak of what proved to be quite a serions fre. Ho ssw smoke accending in the epace between the two frame buildings, Nos. 104 and 106, and upon entering the base- ment of the Intter house discovered that a large patch of Iathing and = portion of the floor was burning. The occupants of the premises were notified, and efforts were made to extin- guished the flames by throwing pails of water upon them. These proved ineffectual, however, and a still alarm was given the steamer Williams vy the police ofiicer. By the time the engine got fairly to work the fire had spread considerablyin No. 106, and had communicated to No. 104 An slarm was then sounded from the mnearest box, calling in __ sdditional stoamers. Tho ususl unsvoidable delsy occurred in getting up streams, and meanwhile ‘he fire was growing. Tle fiames attacked No. 102, and jumped thence to No. 100. The intense old retarded the work of the firemen to such an oxtent that a second alarm had to be turned in for further assistance, which wes speedily rendered. The firo was then rapidly subdued. Tke record of loss is as follows: ~ No. 106, two- atory frame, owned by H. C. Miller, occupied as 8 ealoon tud restaurant by Peter Foute ; damage to building, £500; damage to occupants’ prop- erty, $1,000; no insurance in either case. No. 104, thrae-story freme, owned by Asa White, first Boor occupied by Smith & Barton, commission merchanis; upper stories occupied by B. Mauzey, lodging-house keeper; damnge to building, £9.500; ineuranco unknown ; 10ss of commission firm, 25,000; insuranco unknown. No. 102, three-story frame, owned by B. Mauzey, n&);irl story occupicd by him as & Jodging-house; loss ¢n building and farniture, £4,000; insur- snce, $1,000; first fioor_occnpied by J. D. Wells, somiission merchant ; loss $500; fully insured. No. 100, owned by Dempster & Osborne, occu- ied by thom on first floor 28 &commission ouse; loss on building and stock, $1,000; in- surance, §1,500, ir the Allemanis, of Cleveland; second story oconpied by Howard, painter; loss comipal. The fire originated in No. 106, owing to s defective chimncy. The alarm from Box 148, about half-past 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was caused by the burning of 2 pile of ehavings and & carpenter's bench In the basement of the two-story frame building. No. 51 Bremar atreet. owned and oc- cupied by Charles Carlson. Loss slight. It i supposed that the fire was started bysm incexl: diary. SUBURBAN FIRES, Between 8 and 9 o'clock, yesterdsy morning, the three brick dwellings: ‘Nos. 876, 878, and 850 Cottage Grove avenue, were consumed by fire, together with their contents. The loss i8 esti- mated af $15,000, on which there i8 partial in- surance. The origin of the fira is unknown. There was no alarm sounded, the locality being outside the city limits, Thres engine compa- Dies sighted the fire, and rendered some service in saving contiguous buildings, The hot-house snd outbuildings attached to the Hyde Park Gardens, adjoining the Reform School, took fire about 7 o'clock last evening, and urned g0 fiercely for a time that the glare could be seen in the city. An alarm was Bounded from Box 98, situatod at the corner of Lake avenue and Pier streot, in the extreme end of the South Division, aud three or four engines responded to the sum- mons. The firemen discovered, however, that the burning buildings were too far beyond the city limita_ for them to be of any service, and they accordingly returned. The loss cannot be ocorrectly stated, but it will undoubtedly be very beavy. Mr. W. B. Famrell owns the gardens, and lives contignous to them. His place of busi- ness in the city is near the corner of Harrison strest and Wabash avenue. i POLITICA ALABAMA LEGISLATURE. MoXNTGOMERY, Als., Dec. 22.—In the House, yesterday, when the jomrnal was being re Mr. Cowan, of Jackson, called for the reading of the ballot for door-keeper the day before. That was the ballot on which more votes were cast than there were mem- bers present. After the reading ended Mr. Masterson said he was improperly recorded a8 voting for Whitaker, the caucus nominee of the Ropublicans, when in fact he voted for Can- dee, Independent Republican, This change would elect Candee, and a motion was made to correct the minutesto conform to the facts. The Republican members fought the motion by fllibustering motions to take recess, points of order, etc., but finally a resolu- tion to refor the matter to a Committoo was adopted. The Committee reported that Candee was elected, and the journal was corrected. _ Boyd, Democrat, offered a resolution _declar- mél t the House having duly elected all the oftlcers required, should be immediately declar- od duly and permenently orgamized under the plan of the ~ Attorney General, and that & faillure or refusal to do so would be bad faith to the Attorney General ‘and the people of the State, which was voted down by the Republicana, The Benate joint resolution to adjourn till Jan.18 was adopted by the House, with the proviso that 1t should not be construed as recog- niz'ng the permanent organization of the Sen- ate. The Lieutenant Governor had announced the Senate organized and ready for business several days ago, and when this proviso came back for concurrence, the Senate refused to concur, whereupon the Lieutenant Governor adjourned the Senate, despite its action. The “ Court Room ” Legislature continues to hold daily session, and the Governor yestorda; sent them a message recommending increase taxation 100 per cont. That body passed the bill suthorizing the issue of ~$2,000,000 in bonds. Parsons, the permanent Speaker of the consolidated House, signod the #Court Room” bill while presiding in the Capi- tal, The Lieutenant Governor did the same while presiding in the Senate in the Capitol. The Democrats say this duplication of Legisla- ture, with the same officors premding in both, argues bad faith, and they ng:.in appeal to the Attorney General if if is not discontinued. INDIANA LEGISLATURE. IxpraNarouss, Ind., Dec., 22.—The House con- current resolutions to adjourn at 10 o'clock a. m. on Bunday was amended by inorting 12 m.

The Scnate mot at 10 . m., but 1o clergyman being present, and no member prepared to offi- cinte, adjourned till 2 p. m, At 2 o'clock thé Senate sent a messago to the House informing that body that the Senato would visit in a body to be present at the clos- ing exercises, and inviting the House to repair to the Senate for a like purpose. At this point the Clerk of the House an- nounced that the House had adjourned sine die. The Senate took a recess till 7:30. At the ovening session, the Committes ap- ointed to investigate the resson why the Au- itor of State had not distributed the sinking fund, was suthorized to set during the recess of the Senate, The President of the Senate returned his ac- knowledgment for the complimentary resolu- tion, and declared the Senate adjourned sinedie.

From the Cedar Rapids Republican. * . Tt waaprior to the days of general railroading inTowa. The Republicans had nominated Sam- uel J. Kirkwood, and Democrats, Augustus Cesar Dodge, for Governor of the State.- A joint die- cussion had been arranged to take place at Wash- ington, and the candidates were hourly expected to come, each in a private conveyance from the placo of their last discussion. Only one man in the town owned & fine * turn-out,” and he was s Democrat. It was decided to go out to meet Mr. Dodge st the brow of the nslghboxing hill, and escort him to town “ in state.” Tho Republicans hearing of this, were at first cast down, a8 the Democrats had sfolen & march onthem. But it occurred to them,since they could not rival their opponents, they would bur- lesque them. So they preseed into service a four-ox team, hired a fife and drum and went names of the members who voted on the second * out to meet the Republican candidate. The latter was no little astonished as he neared the top of the hill, mentioned sbove, ab seeing & four-horse carriage and a four-ox wagon wait~ ing on either side of the road. The Demo- crat, a8 good Iluck would have it, was far in the rear. Kirkwood learning the sit- ustion, left his own team, and was escorted into town on a four-ox wood-swagon with martial mu- sic, and the applause that greeted him as he ap~ prosched tho public square, whero the crowd was assembled, showed how the joke was appreciat~ ed. When Dodge arrived in his fino carrisge, he was received in silence, and, it is said, was so chopfallen at tho unexpected turn of sffairs, that he did not do himself half justico in the joint discussion that followed: NEW PUBLICATIONS. « Woods and By-ways of New Enge Iand.’? Wilson Flagg, who wrote ‘‘Studies in Field and Forest,” with its happy vernal touches, full of the shimmer of leaves, the odor of woods, the sheen of water, and the spirit of peace and thoughtfulness which such scenes inspire in the gontle mind, has given us snother not less charming work. His ‘ Woods and By-ways of New England,”—a 'handsome volume of 650 pages, beantifully illustrated with full-page photographs,—describes the domestio scenery, the trees, the shrubbery, the rustio landscape of New Epglend. It is & woik kin- dred to those of Thoresu and Walton, although, of course, differing from them widely, Mr. Flagg is eminontly a child of Na- ture, His life has been passed in almost entire seclusion, hardly interrupted by a small circle of friends and kinsmen; for Mr. Flagg, 2s he shows by frequent references, abhors the com- mercial spirit, and does not think that men of letters and business men should become inti- mates. He has read but few books, and is not a member of any society, club, church, or institu- tion, trade, profession, or organization. There isin g0 pure and untrammelled & life & fresh sweetness, like that of a spring morning. Here is & man for whom the pages of Ambition havo no attraction; he thinks “ every honor s man recelves from the communityto be a fotter upon his freedom of spirit and action. Crowds he flics. His wife and children, the creatures and plants of the forest and field, are his only companions. How such a dreamer, clean of heart, making no show, caring for no applause, free from hurry, indifferent to gain, careless of fame, would writo, it is easy to sec. His words will be like his life, and it liko his thoughts, soft, gentlo, sweat, even,—no rapid thought, no ambitious philosophizing, nostrain- ed images,—everything true, and nothing harsh. Ashe says in his preface, **1 have aimed not o much to make a_graphic picture of any scene from which a painter might, with his brush or pencil, obtain & copy on canvass, as, on the oth- ‘er hand, to make the reader feel as he would in the presence of it. I have also confined my de- acriptions to ordinary scenes. Thesealone have been my study. The objects that meet our view in our walks outside of any village in the couniry, the beauty of a plain cottage, and its picturesque inmates, with Their bavkets of whorilsberrice, and their bun: dles of dried herbs, and the common trecs and shrubs of the forest and the wayside, form the subjects of my essays. From thom I have studied the oracles of Nature, and in these pages 1 have given theirinterpretationas I have found them.” (Boston: Osgooa & Co.

(Now York: DeWitt C. Lent & Co. Chicago: Jansen, McClurg & Co.) Dickens’ Best Thoughts. Dickens, within three years of his death receives an honor which Shakspeare and Danto did not get for centuries from the concordance- makers and the gleaners for elegant extracts. In the “Cyclopedia of the Bost Thoughts of Charles Dickens,” which is now being published moathly by E. J. Hale & Son, Now York, Mr. F. C. DeFontaine gives brief biographical sketches of oach chief character in Dickens' works, with descriptive passages from the author, an_analy- 6i8 of each plot, and the most moving, either to laughter.or tears, of the scenes we know 80 well. Tho work is well done, and gives & most delightful collection of short readings. = ¢ A Summer Romance.”’ Miss Healy, the author of * Lakoville” and «The Home Theatre,” gives us, in ** A Summer Romance,” a clever story, but one which botrays an allegiance to the stock characters of the novel- wnght,—such as the pale but interesting hero- ine, the enthusiastic artist, and the cold man of the world,—which Miss Healy must shake off be- fore she accomplishes the work which her other writings and this plainly show her to be capablo of. She must learn, above all things, tobe true, 1ot to the traditions of the art she is practising, bat to the nature from which alone the art can draw its life. The faults which strike the critic will not interfere with the general enjoymont of the story, which is certainly above the lovel of the novals of the dey. (Boston: Roberts Bros.

They rescuo the crew and nssengers of a burning vessel. Among tho rntier is Brandon, the hero of the book. The story is good, asanything by Jesn Ingelow would be ; but it is certainly too long; 666 pages is too ‘much, even of Jean Ingelow, at one time. The author's insight into child-nature, and her beau- tjful sympathy with the young illamine all her writings, and make the early pages of * Off tho Skelliga " very attractive topeople who are good enough to love and to be loved by children.

In “Three Yearsin the Federal Cavalry” New York: Ferguson & Co.), Captain Willard lnzier gives, in the form of & diary, the adven- tures of tho cavalry Eorvice of the Army of the Potomac during the War. This story of raids, ex- peditions, and fights was noted down from day to day,—*sometimesin camp, sometimes during the halt of tho march, again ab the bivouac-fire, and often jotted down with pencil during the lull of battle. Although Captain Glazier tells us this in o half-apologetic way, he nor we have any renson to regrat it, for by no other means could he have given his story the lifeliko and unflag- ging interest, which it has caught from the scencs thus daguerreotyped. Among the plessant points abont tho book is.the_simplo, unpretend- ing stylo of its langusge. Old cavalrymen and veterans of the war will ind it full of delightful reminiscences of their goldier life; and those who look upon war as a thing to_be enjoyed for ita romance, afar from the tented feld, will find more than passing amusement in its pages.

Coming Events---Evanston FPrepar- ing for a Very Merry Christmas. The fires on last Fridsy night roused the clti- zens of Evanston to such an extent ss to induce 2 goodly nomber of them to sssemble themselves together, on Saturday evening, in the Town Hall, to discuss and take saction mpon some ) means to prevent the further burning of this beautiful suburb. There were sbout fifty of the most energetic citizens present. Eli Gage, Esx., was nominated and elected Chairman of the meeting. J. H. Eedzie first addressed the Chair, and moved that the discussion of the water-works question be postponed until some time when there should be a more general assemblage of the people of Evanston, and thst a meeting for this purpose should be held in Lyon's Hall one weok from this evening, that all of the citi- zensinterested in the safety end welfare of the village should beurged to come out on that oc- casion. This motion was adopted. T. C. Hoag, Esq., then made a few pointed re- ‘marks, saying that it was to be sincerely hoped that the citizens would not adjourn without taking some immediate action, for, if this was not donme, their insurance would surely be increased at least one hundred per cent. He, therefore, moved that the Trustees of the town be requested fo mako the purchase of & Babcock Fire Engine just a8 soon a8 they could possibly do so. After considerable discussion this motion was carried. C. J. Gilbert, Esq., tho President of the Board of Trustees, stated as & result of his n:vashs% - tion, that a Gardner Engine would cost $1,500, and that a Babcock Engine, of & proper size for the village of Evanston, would cost £2,000; and now that the citizens had voted to have an en- gine, . he hoped that some one would make a motion to instruct the Trustees to a.!.sofimmhxae the necessary equipments for s good Hook and Ladder Company. . T. C. Hosg moved that the Trustees be in- structed to make such a parchase, E. 8. Taylor moved a8 a substitute to that mo- tion, that the Trustees should also be requested to at onces effect the organization of a fire com- pany under some one head, whose services should be voluntary. This was heartily su ported by very appropriste remarks from L.J. ation and an explanation of the preseut order of things as understood by the superstitious red man. He hss discovered, 00, an interesting body of {gout.ry, simple songs of_the beauties of nature, the deeds of gods and illustrious men, and gongs of love and songs of longing. During all this timo, also, he has been making collec- tions to illustrate the state of Indian arts, Thera are soveral wagonloads of these speci- mens, which go the Smithsonian Museum.” T S Shocking Acts by Medical Students. A Jontroal correspondent of the Toronto Globesays: “The medical students at Victoria College, Montreal, aro becoming the disgrace of the city, and are reported to-be completely be- yond the control of the Professors. A few days ago, & party of them stole a body from their own g-room, took it to McGee Medical Col- lego, received their price, and had a drunken spreo on the proceeds. Bince then, they kave been acocsed of stealing, in broad paylight, a ¢crpse fron the Hotel Dieu, their own hospital, only dead 2-20W hours and unburied; of taking it to s college and selling it, and spending the money n a similxT Way- e —— 1IED.

Professor Powell, who has been making an ex- amination of the canon of the Colorado River, snd other points in Sonthern Utah, and in Ari- zons, during the past year, returned to Salt Loke on Thursdsy of last week. He has been ending the sumher in Southorn: Utah, not in orthern_Arizona, completing the survey of the Grand Canon of the Colorado, and its tribu-~ tary canons. His last work was a survey of the Wingkaret Mountains, & group of over pixty voleanic cones, standing on the brink of the Grand Canon. Many of them have well-defined craters, and exhibit evidences of very late activity. He has also been engaged in examining a series of great vaults, running from the Grand Canon north, varying from 50 to 150 miles in leu&]t:. Theso vaults are fractures in the crust of earth, and the country rock as dropped down on one side of the fracture from a fow hundred to two or three thoussnd feet. Through these fissures vast quantities of molten rock have poured out, forming extensive groups of volcanic mountsins. Tho mountains ‘mentioned above are of this character. The Salt Lake Journal says that Professor Porwell will go on to Washington and spend the ‘winter preparing his report, snd that Professor Thompson, of tho expedition, will remain in the ficld and continue the explorations. Profeasor Powell has spent » large portion of fivo years_exploring the country Inhabited by the Ute Indians, and has given much at- tention to their langusge and customs. The Journal, quoted above, says: ‘‘He has dis- covered among these Indians of Utah an ex- tensive system of mythology, With wonderful | UHLMAN 13 rocommended most, emphatically by the most distia- ished members of the medical profession. 1t i3 put up in quart and pint bottles, in cases, with the o of the undersigned on tho bottlés and eork, auda ‘imilo of his slgnatare on the labe!
