About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon by- standers near the boat houses at the foot of Ferry street in Buffalo, N.Y., heard two explo- sions in quick succession from the boat house op | Just being built by L. B. Crocker, superin- tendent of the New York Central stock yards, in which his pleasure yacht, the Cedar Ridge, was stored. Immediately following the explo- sion the bost burst into flames, which soon made a furnace of its interior. Simultaneously with the explosion two or three persons were thrown into the water as if from the force of the discharge. Caleb Tolsma yotaboat and picked a young woman, Miss McLean, aged twenty-eight, from the water. She was badly burned and taken to the homeo- pathic hospital. At this time the form of Mr. Crocker’s ong son was seen standing on the boat's dee! inst a background of fire. Chas. Schweigels seized a pike pole and extended it toward the little fellow till it almost touched his breast, at the same time crying to him to grasp it, but the little fellow seemed paralyzed and ina moment fell back into the fire and burned to a crisp. Next attention was directed to John Rugenstein, a carpenter, clinging to a rafter just over the blazing boat. For a few moments he hung desperately on his perch, and then, as if stupified by the heat and suf. focated by the smoke, ldosened his hold and Proved, another victim, into the furnace be- low. Two other children of Mr. Crocker—Leonard Lemuel. a son aged nine years and ten months, and Ethel, a daughter, aged eight years and nine months—also perished in the flames. An- other girl—Charlotte—aged fourteen was blown into the water and rescued therefrom and sent along with Miss McLean to the hospital. The — Was what is known asa naptha launch, run y naptha tor fuel. It is supposed that the accident was caused when the engineer lit the match for ignition of the fuel by the explosion of some gas which had leaked out. ‘The family was preparing to go off on a pleasure trip, and Mr. Ceockioe bad taken his four children and Miss McLean, a lady from Detroit who is stopping with his family, to the river for an excursion. Crocker himself barely escaped with his life. He is almost insane witit grief. His wife has been ill for some time, and this grief will probably kill her. The condition of the other daughter and Miss McLean was reported serious, but not necessarily fatal, at a late hour last night. cigarette WESTERN TRAIN ROBBERS’ WORK Passengers Relieved of Their Money and Jewels. The Rio Grande Western train, No. 3, known as the Modoc, was held up near Crevasse, Cal., Tuesday night by train robbers. Two of them boarded the baggage car at Thompson Springs. They climbed over the engine, pointed re- volvers at the heads of the engineer and fire- man and compelled them to stop the train. They forced the fireman to attempt to chop through the door of the express car and made the engineer bring a bag to hold the plunder. Messenger Willis was ready with a magazine shot gun and two self-cocking revolvers, ‘The fireman was unable to chop through the boiler iron door, so the robbers fired a dozen shots through the car. Messenger Willis lay on the floor and was not hit. The rovbers dared not show their heads at the broken windows lest they should get shot. They gave it up and joined two other rob- bers back in the other cars. The four went hid their valuables ny be gp too frightened posse gone from Green deputy United States from Salt marshals Lake with blood- Married on Her Deathbed.

The Work will be so Conducted as to Interfere but Little with Travel. 4 HUNDRED MEN AT WORK NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE TEARING UP THE OLD BROKEN SUR- FACE—THE W. AND G. RAILROAD FUTTING DOWN THEIR NEW TRACKS, Maj. Cranford, who has the contract for re- the avenue from 17th street to 7th street, is having a plough made in Baltimore which he hopes can be used in cutting up the old Pavement. At present he has a force of about one hundred men, who are removing the tough surface of the present pavement with crow- bare and pick axes. Since beginning the work yesterday considerable has been made, Maj. Cranford expects by this evening to have the whole of the top of the pave- ment on the north side of the avenue from 17th street to the east end of Lafayette square taken off, ready for the new suaface. The plough which he has devised will have a long nose and will carry a sharpened wheel, which he thinks will cut the pavement into slices and do the work more rapidly than by the present method. The asphalt of the avenue pavement = — on “aaa cf concrete and hop ue crow! up great sheets o' This old material is 4 into wagons and taken to belonga to the Dinsiet andi aupeoea that it can be utilized, bo. HOW THE WORK WILL BE CARRIED ON, Major Cranford intends to pave one side of the avenue at atime, leaving the other side for the general city traffic. Provision will be made at the intersecting streets so that vehi- cles can cross the avenue at these points dur- ing the progressof the work. It is the intention to pave the avenue on one side for one or two blocks, then throw the completed side open to travel and begin on the opposite side. The work of paving will first be completed on the avenue between 17th and 15th streets, as that isthe only portion of the Washington and Georgetown road where THE NEW GROOVED RAILS are laid. The railroad company began this morning to put down the new rails on 15th street, and Major Cranford says that if they will keep ahead with their work that he can push the resurfacing. Hesays that he does not know when he will get through, but hopes to be able to complete & work early in October at any rate, 4 BIG HOLE IN THE GROUND. In removing the asphalt in front of the Blair house, just east of 17th street, the workmen found an immense hole some 10 feet deep. It seems that there had beena break ina large sewer at this point, and, the water escaping, had washed the earth away and a good deal of the i of = —— Blocinecary are engaged today in repairing reak in filling up the bole. THE OLD AND THE NEW PLANS, As has been stated, the foundation of con- crete, which is some 8-inches deep and upon which the asphalt is laid, will not be taken up. The prevent contract requires the removal of the asphalt, which was laid directly — the concrete foundation, in accordance with the custom in vogue in 1876, when the avenue pave- ment was laid. The new surface of asphalt ill not be put directly on the concrete bed, ‘There will be first laid down a binder course, as it is termed, of small broken stones, over which will be poured distillate coal tar. This course will be thoroughly rolled and then the asphalt will be put down. The asphalt will be laid up next to the railroad tracks instead of putting down a course of stone next the rails, as was done when the present pavement was laid. The newrails are the grooved pattern and the pavement will be brought up flush, so that the rails will offer but little resistance to the wheels of vehicles. There will be no change in the present grate of the avenue. In some fine the railroad tracks are below grade and will be brought to grade. eticsaites wed ofl Wheeling From Illinois. Messrs. J. B. Johnson, Irving Woods and Arthur H. Woods of Jacksonville, Iil., who left there on July 150n a bicycle trip to this city, arrived here this morning. They made the distance—1,000 miles—in twenty-three days. One rode asafety and the others upright wheels, They report the best roads in Indiana and Ohio; the worst in Pennsylvania. The best day’s run was 85 miles, while the smallest was 15. The only trouble they experienced was a short distance this side of Columbus, Ohio, where a man threatened to have them arrested for frightening his horse. On their trip they passed through Indianapolis and Richmond, ndiana, Springfield and Columbus, Ohio, Wheeling, W. Va., Brownsville, Pa., Cumber- land, Hagerstown and Rockville, Md. They will remain here until Monday or Tuesday, when they will try to wheel their way home again, plea See Prof. Frisby Sees the New Comet.

JACK THE PEEPER AGAIN. He Got Into Two Bed Rooms in Eliza- bethport on Tuesday Night. “Jack the Peeper,” whose antics have caused terror in Elizabethport, N.J., was again on his rounds Tuesday night, Evidently he had pre- pared for the change in the weather, for at one place he appeared in a pair of rubber boots and a waterproof coat. He carried a dark lantern and alsoa pistol, which he flourished in the faces of the persons he visited. As heretofore, he showed no evidence that his visits were for the purpose of robbery, his only object, apparently, being to visit bed rooms. Screams were heard about midnight from the house of Jacob Weisloger, in Marshall street near 5th, and the next moment a man threw up the window, drop; to the ground, and Fae A cane of minutes later Mr. and Mrs. Weisloger appeared at a window, call- ing for the police. The peeper, it was learned, had stealthily crept up stairs and entered the bed room. The noise he made in opening the door aroused Mrs, Weisloger, and she jum; up in bed and began to scream, husband. The intruder shook a face and quickly retreated, locking the door on the outside so as to facilitate his escape. When the ponte succeeded in breaking open the door he vanished, He next turned up at the house of Mr, Hee- nan in Fulton, strect, where he awoke the ple in trying to raise 8 window. He fled wi e found he had been discovered. The residence of Mark Feeney, in east Jersey street, was next invaded, Here he got in through a kitchen window. He opened all the doors in the lower part of the house, so as to give him a clear exit, He ascended tothe bed- room of Mrs. Feenef, who isa light sleeper. She heard the door creak, and the next moment she saw # head cautiously poked in. She gave scream, which startled the neighborhood and brought all the inmates of the house trembling out of their beds, The intruder d down the stairs and out of the house, and, running across some vacant lots, disappeared in the darkness and rain. The Feeneys, huddled on the sidewalk, watched his flight. The last place he tried was the house 318 Fulton street. Here his footsteps aroused the watchdog, and he fled. On Monday night the residence of William Adams, in Amity street, was entered. Adams would have shot him had not his excited wife rabbed his arm and given him a chance to jump through a window andescape. It is as- tonishing how the crank, lunatic or whatever he may prove to be, always manages to et away, and, moreover, sets the police at de- icone. They have been unable to get the slightest clue to his identity, seeces is during his operations, covering four months, he has entered about thirty-five houses in various | parts of the city. Plunder is not his object, as there is no report of his having stolen any- thing in the places he has visited. His ex- ploits usually occur between the hours of 11 .m. and 1 a.m., and his favorite visiting spot the sleeping apartments of females. ‘The entire detective force of Elizabeth were scour- ing the city yesterday for clues, SBOE aE a Srectat Tarp To ATLantic Crry via Pexxsyt- vania Rarinoap.—Bear in mind that the special trip to Atlantic City, advertised for Saturday, the 10th instant, offers the best facilities for ee this famous resort.

Ben Lefevre of Ohio never married. After the rebel army sur- rendered he was stationed at Salisbury, N.C., and at this time Ben was a dashing, handsome 6-foot major of, perhaps, 150 pounds. Among the people of quality in the town was a family vamed Carr. The old gentleman had been a major in the confederate army and at one time was 10 miles through the Carolina sands by « Yankee sergeant. Both traveled at a double-quick and im the race the major wore his toe nails down so that they dropped off after he was captured. Naturally this embittered the family against the Yanks, and Carr's three daughters swore never to speak to one. Major Lefevre was on the i's staff at this period, and one day (i quarters complaining that some soidiers had broken into his house androbbed him. He wanted a ‘d sent around and invited Major Ben to call at the house and look over the premises. Next day Lefevre dropped around while Carr was absent; be walked into the par- lor and there saw a very pretty girl of about seventeen. The major bowed and introduced himself, but the young lady turned her back on him. The gallant officer was notto be re- pulsed in this way, however. Calico was worth about $2 a yard in those days and this was of extra quality. Pauline Carr held out for a week and then succumbed to the major's vig- orous siege; at the end of six wecks they were engaged to be married. Then Lefevre went north to his home in Ohio and broke the news to his family. As he expected, there was a big fuss made, and the women folks were especi- ally furious thet he should want to marry the daughter of arebel, They made itso warm for Ben that he decided to postpone his mar- riage until the storm abated somewhat, so he wrote the girito this effect. Three months later, to bis ¢ and disappointment, he received a mar paper iniorming him of Pauline’s marriage to a Yankee quartermaster who had stayed south. ‘The general never re- covered from this love affair and has remained asingle man. He is now attorney for Cal | Brice in New York, and rumor has it that he ; asked Mrs. Frank Leslie to marry him two Years ago, but the story lacks confirmation, eee Something About Teeth. The teeth are a very peculiar partof our or- ganization. They do not belong to the bony skeleton, but, like the scales of the crocodile, are appendages of the skin. Their enamel is the hardestanimal product in nature, and is almost pure phosphate of lime, thus resemb- ling a mineral, Unlike every other portion of the body, the teeth come in two distinct sets, xeparated by an interval of between four and tive years, The first set consits of twenty teeth, the second of thirty-two. The secondor “permanent” set are larger and harder, as well 48 more numerous, than the first. As the sec- ond set—with the exception of the wisdom teeth—are formed before the first are shed, a five-year-old child may have at the same time fifty teeth in his head. The visible part of the tooth is called the crown, the part hidden in the jaw the fang. the part just within the gum the neck, A tooth consists of the enamel, the dentine or bon substance beneath the enamel, the pulp, which fills an internal cavity extending from’ within the crown down to the extremity of the fang, and the cement, which covers the fang some- what as the enamel covers the crown. The the fang at its point. The dentine consists of microscopic tubes into which the pulp pene- trates to nourish it and ede it sensitiveness. The cement is covered witha membrane analo- gous to that which covers the bones and min- isters to their support, and which has the func- tion of promoting their renewal when they ure partially destroyed. This cement membrane wili unite vitally to the jaw another tooth which has been inserted in place of one ex- tracted. Dentists now avail themselves of this important fact. As the teeth consist largely of lime. they are readily acted on by acids, means, of course, that acid generated in the mouth or the stomach by fermentiug food se- cretions rendered acid by disease or acid medi- cines administered improperly by physicians may cause more or destruction of the teeth. The most common cause of decay, doubtless, is to be found in the bits of fermentmg food left between the teeth. ‘This fact suggests the need of the toothpick after meals and the thorough washing out of the mouth with the aid of a tooth brush before retiring for the night.
