Five Instantly Killed and a Dozen Seri- ously Injured. A special from Scranton, Pa,, to the Pittsburg Times says that the rolling mill and nail fac- tory at Towanda, Bradford county, operated by Bostley Godcharles & Co., was partially wrecked yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock by the explosion of a boiler, the disaster resulting in instant death of five men and fatal injury of two others and slight injury of = dozen other workmen. The dead are Sanford B. Smith, puddler, married; Richard Ackerly, paddler, married; John Bostwick, roller, married; Guy Herman, helper, married; Isaac Bandford, helper, single. The fatally injured are Charles Zebich, terribly burned by molten metal; James Rider, both legs broken and internal in- Juries. The force of the explosion was terrific, lift- ing the entire roof off the southern portion of the mill, tearing away the rafters and girders and leaving the whole mass crushing into the mill and upon the terrified foree of workmen, who were scattering in every direction and crouching behind ail kinds of obstacles to es- cape the fury of the hissing steam, which was filling the structure from the nest of boilers that were displaced and broken in their steam connections by the exploding boiler, pieces of which were buried through the mill. The larger portion of the bursted boiler was carried through the side of the mill. landing away in o taass of scrap iron fully 150 feet. The explo- sion’s awful sound was heard all through the town and great crowds of the inhabitants rushed to the mill to learnits effect. Workmen were soon marshaled by Richard A. Bostley and Samuel Rendall, members of the firm, and they speedily removed the debris and re- leased the men who were buried in it and also Fecovering the bodies of the killed, some of whom were badly mangled and scalded. Earthquake Shocks in Californta. Aslight earthquake shock was felt at Pasa- dena, Cal., yesterday afternoon lasting about five seconds. It began at 6:20 p.m. Asevere shock of earthquake occurred at Los Angeles at 6:13 p.m. It began with a slight tremor which lasted afew seconds, then the vibrations were stronger and ended with two heavy shakes. The shock was the most severe experienced here in many years and lasted ten seconds. e+ A Disorderly Boulangist Meeting. A crowded meeting of Boulangists was held in Paris last evening to protest against the conviction and sentence of their chief. Those Present were mostly workmen. The police were thickly distributed in and about the hall andalarge force of military were held in readiness outside while the meeting was in progress. M. M. Laisantand Laguerre spoke severely condemning the action of the senate in convicting Boulanger. The question being putasto whether Boulanger should receive thers further support those present unani- mously declared that they would continue to uphold the brave general and his policy. A disorderly mob occupied the street in front of the hall where the meeting was held and soon began to stone the police.

A young married inan who isa familiar figure sbout the city hall went up to the Canadian club house recently for a few days’ fishing. ‘The second day after his arrival his wife con- eladed that she would go up in the steam bost and join him, and sccordingly notified him of her intention. As the steam boat on which she took passage approached, the Indy, accom- panied by @ number of intimate’ friends, @ageriy scanned the shore for a glimpse of bis huge hat. Imagine her feelings when she saw “Gus” seated on a log beside a dashing-lookin; female. With one arm placed lovingly aroun: i as” seemed to be utterly oblivious to the approach of the steam boat or the aadi- ble comments of the passengers, who were in- terested spectators, “Is the man crazy or drunk?” gasped the or wife, dropping into a chair as limp as a ish cloth. “For mercy’s sake take me home to mother.” At this juncture Gus lightly lifted up his “companion” and tucking “her” under his arm walked toward the boat landing in the most nonchalant manner imaginable. “She” was a copy of that exceedingly clever lithographic print which ornaments every tobacco store in wn. It represents a gaudy female mounted or «tobacco cask which purports to be filied with a certain well-known brand of plug “chewin’.” The figure had been considerably improved upon by Gus, who had supplied it with skirts made of extra fine Manilla paper. Peace bas been restored in the family. ance iba Minister Reid’s Paris Mansion. ‘Paris Correspondent Philsdelphia Telegraph. The home of the American Minister and Mrs. Reid is one of the most magnificent of the Private residences of Paris. It was originally the home of the countess of Grammont, who was born Mile. Sabatier. The father of the countess was formerly the French consul gen- eral to Egypt, ana he acquired a vast collection of Egyptian curiosities, which he had caused to be arranged in the vast hall of his splendid hotel, which at his death became the property of his daughter. It must be confessed that this hall when our present representative at Paris came to take up his residence in his new abode was apything but cheerful in its aspect. It was iorned with mummies in their cases, with Statues of Isis and Osiris in black basalt, and with cabinets filled with old Egyptian bronzes, pottery, &c.. larger pieces of bronze being placed on brackets along the walla. The effect was depressing, not to say funereal. Minister Reid caused all these dusky curiosities to be carefully packed away, and has had the Walls hang with brocatelle of a crimson ground end figured with a design in deep yellow. Oniy the marble sphinxs that decorate the balus- trade ends of the grand staircase remain to tell of the Egyptology the builder of the man- sion. Opposite the staircase is the door lead- ing a series of sumptuous drawing rooms. The smaller sized of these and the first of the suit is paneled with Louis XV groups after Boucher. The grand drawing room a and furnished with crimson brocaded satin. The cornice is richly carved and gilt, forming a setting to a ited ceiling representing s cloud-flecked sky. In front of the central window stands life-sized statue of Helen of Troy, by an Italian artist, Beyond this apartment is the dining room, where twen- ty-four persons can be seated at table. —~ soe mn Tuesday, Wed- . , August 27, 23, 29 and 30, the great Anne Arundel County agri- cultural fair will be held at Bay Ridge. Pawnee Bill's Wild West show will also give perform- ances on these dates. These attractions, with the fine Naval Academy band concerts in the afternoon, will no doubt be the meansof bring- ing of visitors from Washington on the dates mentioned.

Many pairs of eyes have opened very wide in amazement at the sight of a black-eyed and bright-faced young woman in the engine room of the steamer Ocean City, which plies on Great Egg Harbor bay, between Long Port, Ocean City and Somers Point, N.J., and when passengers see the ease and familiarity with which she handles the wheels and levers of the engine they hold their breath for a few seconds to see what stranger thing can happen. Both nothing alarming does happen. The young lady is Mrs. Nora Buck, and she makes aseiicient an assistant to her husband, the engineer of the Ocean City, as avy man who could be put in her place. She is ski in the management of the machinery and presides over the engine room with perfect confidence and complacency. Mrs. Buck is a granddaughter of Commodore Lavelette, and the daugiter of the founder of Lavelette City, N.J. Upon the water she is al- ways at home, and can handlo an oar or sail a yacht like an expert. She is nineteen years old, and a perfect picture of health, weighing about 130 pounds. Her hair and eyes are black and her Tam O'Shanter hat. cambric dress and big-checked apron are a pleasant sight to the people who patronize the Ocean City. Aside from the novelty of her position in the engine room, her bright face and pleasant manners have made her a great favorite with people who visit Atlantic City and other neighboring places along the shore, oo _—_____ Go ow Frtpay axp Saturpay Evexra to Marshall Hall excursion.

Lemonade made from the juice of the lemon is one of the best and safest drinks for any per- son, whether in health or not. It is suitable for all stomach diseases, excellent in sickness, in cases of jaundice, gravel, liver complaint, in- flammation of the bowels, and fevers. Itis # specific against worms and skin complaints. ‘The pippin crushed may be used with sugar and water and taken asa drink. Lemon juice is the best antiscorbutic remedy known. It not only cures the disease but prevents it, Sailors make daily use of it for this purpose. We ad- vise every one to rub their gums with lemon juice to keep them in a healthy condition. he hands and nails are also kept clean, white, soft and supple by the daily use of lemon instead of soap. It also prevents chil- blains. Lemon is used jn intermittent fevers, mixed with strong, hot, black coffee, without sugar. Neuralgia, it is said, may be cured b: rubbing the affected with « cut lemon. te is valuable also to cure warts. It will remove dandruff by rubbing the roots of the hair with it. It will alleviate, and finally cure, coughs and colds and heal diseased lungs, if taken hot on going to bed. Its uses are manifold, and the more we employ it internally the better we shall find ourselves, A doctor in Rome is trying it experimentally in malarial fevers with great success, and that it will in time supersede quinine. ee Dumas’ Method of Collaboration. Andrew Lang in Scribner's Magazine. There is no doubt that Dumas had a regular system of collaboration, which he never eou- cealed. But whereas Dumas could turn out books that live, whoever his assistants were, could any of his assistants write books that live without Dumas? Upon my word, one might as well call any barrister in good practice a thief andan impostor because he has juniors to “devil” for him, as makes charges of this kind against Dumas, He once as! his son to help him; the —— Alexandre declined. “It is wortL a thoueand a year, and you have only to make objections,” the sire urged. But the son was not to be tempted, Some excellent novelists of today would be much better if they employed a friend to make objections, Butasar the collaborator did much more. Dumas’ method, apparently, was first to talk the subject over with his aide-de- camp. This isan excellent practice, as ideas are knocked out like sparks (an elderly illustra~ tion!), by the contact Bh en the young man probably made researches, put rough sketch on paper and supplied Desas, as it were with his “brief.” ‘then Dumas took his “brief’—and wrote his novel. He gave it lite, he gave it spark, letincelle; and the story lived and moved. —___—_-es_—_____ Faithful to His Trust. From the Chicago Tribune. The sun was setting in a blaze of midsummer glory and its dying rays lit up a tranquil land- scape, along whose quiet lanes and velvet lawns and lovely meadows the lengthened shadows grew fainter and fainter. The earth was sink- ing to repose and forth from their invisible lurking places came the soft voices of the night to mingle their liquid melodies with the tender, softiy-breathed sigh of depart- ing day. A wan, hoo man, whose worn attire, halting step and drooping head proclaimed him & weary wanderer over many 4 lagging mile, drew near to the modest little cottage on one of the quietest streets of the peaceful vil- lage. He dragged himself up the steps and rang the bell. “Does Mra.

A Day Laborer in St. Paul, Minn., Sud- denly Raised to Affiuence, A St. Paul special to the New York World says that Charles L. Watrous, a young man who has resided in St. Paul for the past six months, during which time he has been employed as # common laborer, has sud- denly changed his mind as to the necessity for working, By the death of his father in Australia he inherits property estimated to be worth £3,000,000 sterling, and departed last night over the Northern Pacific for the anti- podes to claim his vast estate. Watrous was in financial straits until today, when, glancing over the published list of unclaimed letters, he saw hisname. The epistle, when secured, proved to be anannouncement of the death of his father, J. B. Watrous, known the world over as the Australian bonanza king, at Sidney N.8.W. Young Watrous became estranged from his family seven years ago through an unfortunate liaison with a ballet girl known as Hobart Town Polly. Watrous married her in Melbourne and the couple came to San Fran- cisco, where Mrs. Watrous died while filling an engagement at the Bella Union theater. Watrous has been doing odd jobs all over the country, now hotel clerk and agains tramp, looking’ for work. During his residence in America he has carefully refrained from allow- ins icion of his poreeiy to reach his pa- and has not, until receiving the draft ac- companying the announcement of his father’s death, received one cent from the store of Aus- tralian millions, The estate consists of on- trolling interest in the Golden Fle and Kentish claims, the famous Bendigo mine and large blocks of business property in Melbourne, Sydney and Auckland, New Zealand. The widow of the bonanza king resides at Sandhurst, in the White Hills of Australia, and the prodi- al son expects to reach home'and enter upon is inheritance within the next six weeks, oo The Charge Against Judge Field Dis- missed. ‘The United States circuit court at San Fran- cisco was officially informed yesterday that the charge of murder against Justice Field had been dismissed by the Stockton court. Judge Sawyer accordingly dismissed the habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Justice Field. The Nagle case was postponed until today. In Cesta | the case Judge Sawyer said: “We are glad that the prosecution of Mr. Justice Field has been dismissed. Founded, as it was, upon the sole, reckless and as to him manifestly false affidavit of one whose relation to matters leading to the tragedy, and whose animosity toward the courts end judges who have found it their duty to decide against her, and especially toward Mr. Justice Field, is part of the judicial and notorious public history of the country, it was under the circumstances, and upon the sole affidavit produced, especially after coroner’s inquest, so far as Mr. Jus- tice Field is concerned, a shameless proceeding, and, as intimated by the governor of the com. monwealth, if it had been further persevered im would have been a — to the state. While a justice of the _— Court of the United States, like every of citizen, is amenable to the laws, he is not likely to commit 80 grave an offense as murder, and should he be so unfortunate as to be unavoidably involved in any way in homicide he could not afford to escape if it were in his power to do so; and when the act is so publicly performed by another as in this instance and is observed by so many witnesses the officers of the law should certainly have taken some ins to ascertain the facts before proceed- to arrest so distinguished a dignitary, and to attempt to incarcerate him in prison with felons, or to put him in a position to be farther degraded and Lpseingy assaulted by one 80 violent as to be publicly reported, not only then, but on numerous previous occasions, to liave threatened his life. We are extremely gratified to find that through the action of the chiet magistrate and Attotney General, a higher officer of the law, we shall be spa the necessity of further inquiring as to the tent of the remedy afforded the distingui: titioner by the Constitution and laws of nited States of enforcing such remedics as exist, and that the stigma cast upon the state of California by this hasty and, to call it bya harsher term, ill advised arrest will not be in- tensified by further prosecution, Since the ate proceeding has been dismissed let the petitioner be discharged and the writ of habeas corpus dismissed. "The case of Deputy Marshal Nagle was also taken up in the circuit court, and Judge Saw- rex announced that a time would be set for the Lis of testimony and juing the law points in regard to the jurisdiction of the Federal court. The counsel could not agree upon the time for a hearing and the matter was post- poned until tomorrow. ——————— Canadians Talk Secession.

A Case Where a Chaperone Should Have Been Given With It. Correspondence St. Louis Republic. The fun they have had at Marasquan, which is a little bit of a watering place over on tho Jersey shore, beats anything yet heard of at the big resorts. It was all accomplished with Dr. Brown-Sequard’s elixir, which you have read s0 much about as a phenomenal sort of tonic, and Miss Quisby, whom her acquaintances know as a maiden lady of not less than sixty years. She isa typical old maid with specta- cles balanced primlyon her nose, and curls dangling, one at a side, in front of her ears. She hates men—#o she saye—but her manner does not indicate that the aversion is genuine. Well, she read that the Brown-Sequard dis- covery was being tried with rejuvenating effect on lots of folks, and by her eager inquiries the other boarders’ in the small hotel compre- hended that she was wching for a dose. At that juncture practical joker came for- ward. He got into «= discus sion of the new medical marvel, and he said he believed it was a mistake to make all the trials with aged or decrepit subjects. Why not experiment with a normal, healthy, merely mature person, Miss Quisby was inclined to agree with him. But would she aid in any ex- periment? Well, te-he! she didn’t know. She might be persuaded. And she was, Baring » skinny wrist and ete to a hypodermic injection of nothing but a few drops of clear water, she believed that she was a downright devotee of scientific progress. It was a secret between Miss Quisby and the ee eee that everybody in the house new of it, without her knowing they were on to it, They watched the symptoms, which were well worth watching, It was just before eu per that the supposed elixir was injected. At the table she giggled when the Rev. Abraham Smith passed the butter to her, and shrugged her shoulders quite coquettishly when Dr, Oliver Brown spoke to ber of the weather. Half an hour after the meal, on meeting young Broker Jones in the hallway she unmistakably ogled him, and a few minutes afterward she winked slyly at Actor Robinson, when he _ told her that she was looking uncommonly well. In the evening the boarders assembled in the arlor for a little waltzing, as usual, and Misa Quisby became rapidly giddy. She waltzed for the first time in a quarter of a century, and, as she did itin the now obsolete style of 1864, it was funny in the eyes of 1889, She called Brown a naughty man for holding her too snugly, but she didn’t Che toescape, Shestruck Jones with ber fan real hard, because he told her she was a beauty. She confided to Robin- son # sudden longing of her heart to go on the stage as Juliet, and tried some of the balcony business on him from the veranda while he stood on the moonlit lawn. She consulted aside with Smith as to whether, in his professional capacity of expounder of the Scripture and believing the mjunction that “it is not good for man to live alone,” he did not deem her awfully wicked for haying failed to accept one of her many, many chances to marry, Along toward the end of the evening she encountered the practical joker himself. “Well, Low do you fecl?” he inquired soberly, “All T’ve got to say,”"she answered, rather con- cernedly, “is that you ought to have given me a chaperone along with the elixir." eee The Arkansas Riot. Further particulars of the negro riot at Jor- dans Brook, Ark., are to the effect that for some time the negroes of thatcounty have been spending their Saturday nights in a jubilee ceremony at the woods near the town. Last Saturday night at their meeting a large quan- tity of whisky was consumed and shortly after 9 o'clock the trouble began, Joseph Jordan and William Newcomb quarreled and Newcomb shot Jordan in the breast. The wounded man was carried into the woods and, while fighting was still going on at the grounds, he died from his wounds. Meanwhile the utmost confusion and uproar eae: The women scattered to get out of another in their drunken fary whom they were shooting at. In the clamor that resulted it was impossible to secure the names of all the wounded, but it is known that several of them are er f hart, while many are seriously wounded. ank Holt is known to be dead, while Anderson is serioush; wounded. These men met in the darkness and began a battle with pistols.
