So far as causes of fires go, there is noth- ing new under the sun, says a writer in the New York Times. The rat that gnawed at box of grease-dipped friction matches un- il they ignited and burned up a western town is an old, old story. So ts the tale of the cockroach that crawled from an oll re- ceptacle Into a gas jet, where it took fire, and falling spread the flames. A pail glanced from a hammer wielded by a car- penter, fell {ato the conveyer of raw mate- Tials in a jute factory, rubbed against the! @rum and produced a spark which set fire to the place. A running belt which sagged into @ mass of greasy waste set fire to the heap by friction. ‘There was a fire on the east side of the city recently, caused, curiously enough, by water. The feed pipe at the back of a boiler burst, causing water to escape into the fire. In’ this way sufficient steam was generated to blow open the furnace door, thus forcing the flames into the boiler room. ‘The woodwork in the place was set on fire and a serious calamity was the result. A somewhat similar accident took place not long ago in a western mill which fed its fires with shavings that were blown under the boiler. It seems that the shavings blow- er was stopped for a moment, causing a back draught in the furnace, which sent flames through the furnace doors and ig- Bited the shavings in the boiler room. Having long ago despaired of attributing specific causes to fires, underwriters fell back on general term “spontaneous which may mean almost any- thing. For example, in a manufactory of Plane bits in Chicago a sponge was used to transfer the water by capillary attraction from a water box to an emory wheel on Which the bits were ground. The sponge wiped off the fine steel particles from the wheel and they were collected in the cells of the sponge. where they were kept con- stantly wet. After the sponge had béen laid aside for a week or so it was discov- ered that the mass had become sponte- neously ignited, and but for its timely dis- covery another mysterious fire would have gceurred. Another singular fire was caused by the ignition of coal piled up against the outer wall of a botler house. The wall was built of brick, thirty-two inches thick, yet Sufficient heat passed through from’ the Dotler setting to set the coal on fire. i It has long been determined that any sub- stance capable of burning will explode if turned into powder and mixed with air. This is one of the most interesting forms ©f spontaneous combustion. There was a dust explosion in a fur-cleaning establish- ment in this city a few years ago that fur- Rishes an example of this sort. The dust| consisted of a powdered mixture of wood and flour, and when {t came in contact with the air there was an explosion that lifted the roof-off the building. Explosions in flour mills, due to this cause, are of frequent oc- currence. Another interesting form of spontaneous combustion is that resulting from the mix- ture of a small quantity of naphtha vapor with a large quantity of air. In a local ma- chine shop, where repairs were being made to a locomotive boiler, the steam dome had been removed to allow a workman to get inside. A pint of benzine had been used on some of the interior bolts and screws, for the purpose of loosening them so that they might be removed. The men at work on the boller went off to dinner, and on their re-| turn one of their number got inside to re- move the bolts, while a man outside handed him a light. As soon as the light came in contact with the air from the boiler, slight- ly impregnated with naphtha vapor, there Was a tremendous explosion. The man outside, who handed the light, was kitled| instantly, as was also a man standing on| top of the boller. The man inside was blown clear through the fourteen-inch opening of the steam dome and thirty feet into the air, being kilied instantly. A similar case was that of the petroleum steamer Ville de Calais, which was blown to pieces at Calais in January, 189%, after the discharge of her cargo. The explosion, | Which was heard twenty-six miles away, Was caused by an accumulation of gas in the steamer’s hold. The hatches having been thrown open, a man entered with. a light. Instantly the ship was blown to pleces. ———_+e+_____ IN A TIGER’S JAWs. ‘A Circus Wan Shows Good Nerve in a ‘Trying Emergency. From the Walton Reporter. In one of the cages in the circus parade on Thursday were a lion and a tiger. The beasts, especially the tiger, were fine spect- mens of their kind. In the same cage was the trainer, sitting in apparent unconcern. After the performance was over in the af- ternoon, im advertising the concert which immediately followed, it was annoupi that Prof. ‘Reed, the Mon tamiér “would et the close go into the den in which he rode with the lion and tiger in the morning and would feed them fresh meat from his own hands, to show the perfect subjection of the beasts. It was done as advertised. The beasts, however, were not im good humor and snaried, showing their teeth and lash- ing their tails as meat was handed to them. When the trainer, in carrying out the pro- gram, took a piece of meat in his mouth and held it out for the tiger, the great cat sprang forward partly against the trainer, Knocking him backward and getting only Portion of the meat. Quick as thought it made second spring, tnis time not for beef, but for human blood. It struck the trainer on the right arm and breast with one of its greet claws, tearing through his ¢lothing and flesh, taflicting seven Sashes in the fleshy part of his arm. other claw struck his hip, tearing off ¢lothing, while its terrible Jaws closed over the trainer's arm just below the elbow. ‘The man never moved a muscle nor for a moment took his eyes from those of the tiger, whose savage nature was beginn! to assert itself. Its tail lashed its striped sides and its eyes flashed fire. merve of the trainer saved his life. hia Hi te called to the attendants near: “1 scrapers,” all the time keeping fixed on ‘that of the beast talking Jow tone to it. It seemed an age, but it was but a seconds, before two attendants, haif dead with fear, thrust the tron rods through the cage against the sides of the tiger. The beast, whom the trainer, pinioned as he as, stilt had partly under control, loosed his ‘hoid and crouched back in his cage, while the man backed slowly from the cage. As the door shut the tiger gave an angry growl, jumped forward, but the bars had closed. “The lion showed great excitement and roared furiously. The trainer’s life was saved. A great sigh of relief went up from the excited crowd, women fainted and men struggled to get from the tent. The trainer was con- ducted to Dr. Morrow, who dressed his wounds. He was very weak and faint from pain and the terrible strain of the ordeal through which he had passed, but bore the operation without flinching. His arm was badly lacerated from the shoulder to the wrist. Three deep cuts were made by the tiger's claws in the fleshy part of his arm, and seven gashes, made by the beast teeth just below. penetrated deep into his arm, large enough to ingert a man’s thumb. After his wounds were dressed he went to the hotel. He passed a very restless night, gnd left for his home in Austinburg, Ohio. His name is Henry Reed. He has been training lions and tigers for twelve years and this ts his first accident. —so+- THE DAMAGE BY STORM. titi age Fe i How the Popu Has Been Reduced im the District Aftected. ‘The police jury of Plaquemines, one of the Louisiana parishes lately visited by the great tornado, has carefully investigated the damage inflicted by It and makes a re- port thereon. It shows a loss of 260 lives, 415 houses destroyed and a total damage to property of $78.20. The sugar cane was very slightly damaged, the rice two-thirds, the orange crop three-fourths. A large proportion of the people in the storm district have emigrated or will do so. ‘There are refugee camps in La Fourche and at Harveys, opposite New Orleans, Where the refugees are being fed by the citizens’ relief committee. The population of the district visited by storm was about 0. Of these 2.000 were drowned or killed nd 1.20) have left, reducing the population to 2.800, or less than one-half. ‘The people around Buras, in Plaquemines parish, are generally leaving, as they have| Bo houses, crops, levees or orange trees left and no work to do. They will generally em- igrate to the sugar district of the parish. Tt 4s not probable that over 200 of the 1,600 peo- ple of Chemere Camenada will remain, and about half the Inhabitants of Grande Isle ‘Will seek a safer home. Although half the people on Bayou Cook were drowned, the remainder will remain, | as the parish of Plaquemines has given | them lumber to rebuild their houses, and they have asked for $2,000 from the citizens’ | relief committee to recover their boats, wrecked in the swamps, which will enable them to return to their former trade of oys- ter fishing. —se0—____ PROF. SMITH’S CASE. It is Taken Up by the Presbyterian Synod of Ohio. The judicial committee reported at yes- terday’s session of the Presbyterian synod at Cincinnati. It was to the effect that an agreement had been reached by both parties concerned in the Smith heresy case to forego the reading of the minutes of the presbytery trial, except such portions as are vitally essential to the synod and to omit all unnecessary preliminaries by ad- mitting that the appeal is in order and ready for hearing. ‘The committee further recommended that Dr. Smith and the prosecution each be al- lowed three hours to put their arguments, pro and con; that the presbytery of Cin- cinnati then ‘be granted one hour for five- minute speeches by different members, and, finally, that he synod consume an’ hour and a half in three-minute speeches. Prot. Smith was given the privilege of opening and closing his case. The recommendations of the committee were adopted by an al- most unanimous vote. Prof. Smith was one of the most conspic- uous figures on the floor, and remained Much of the time near the moderator's ros- m. ‘The Smith case was set for 2 p.m., with & recess at 7:30 p.m., to allow time for the foreign missions meeting. Promptly at the appointed time Prof. Smith began his de- fense, speaking from manuscript. He opened by speaking of the peace which had prevailed in the Presbyterian Church since the union of the old and the new schools, and highly commended it, but declared that there ought to be no shrink- ing from the points at issue now in the church. He advocated a calm discussion of the merits of his own case in a spirit of Mutual love and esteem. The professor took the ground that he had violated none of the fundamental doctrines of the church, and declared that he stood today with Pres- byterians. He then took up technical objections to the findings of the Presbytery against him and emphasized the alleged impropriety of men who have prejudiced a case sitting as jurors. His case, he declared, had been prejudged in the Presbytery, and some of his jurors had even gone so far as to pub- lish opinions condemning him before the trial took place. ——_§-+e+-_____ HUNDREDS OF HORSES BURNED. Fire in the Street Railway Stables in Chicago. Frenzied with fright and driven into a stampede by a raging fire that broke out early last evening in the Wallace street barns of the Chicago City Railway Com- Pany, 500 horses were either suffocated or burned to death. The barns were entirely destroyed. They were located at ‘Wallace and 39th streets, and were among the most extensive under control of the company. They occupied the large brick building, two stories in height and extending 400 feet on Wallace street and % feet on 39th street. The fire broke out about 6 o'clock, and soon the big, low building was surrounded with flames. They burst from the windows on either side and entrance through the doorways was cut off. Inside the horses | Were helpless. They were biinded by the slare of the flames and the smoke that Tolled through the place in great volumes, and soon a stampede was in progress. The animais surged back and forth in groups of fifties and hundreds, led on in their mad rush. Their loud neighing and an occasional ery of pain told the people on the street of the fearful scenes that were being enacted on the inside. Yet little or nothing could at first be done to save any of the animais. Gradually the sound of the stampede grew fainter and fainter, and when the first group of firemen had fought their way into the barn they saw charred carcasses lying about on every hand. The loss on the bulld- ing is $25,000, on the horses $50,000, and on the contents of the barns, cars, feed, é&c., will bring the total to about $110,000. = STORIES OF INTERIOR ALASKA. Aurora and the Cold. A remarkable story, says the San Fran- cisco Examiner, 1s told by the Rev. E. C. Wallis, a missionary of the Epicopal Church, who arrived here recently from Porcupine river, in the British possessions, Just over the line of Alaska, on the edge of the Rocky Mountains. It is mainly about the intense cold, the immense herds of rein- deer and the sublime magnificence of the aurora borealis. Dr. Wallis has been seven years in the wilds of the Porcupine river, for the last eighteen months his wife has been with him assisting in teaching the Indians. it does not appear to be generally known that there are vast he-ds of reindeer in that Dart of the country. Dr. Sheidon Jackson, Superintendent of education for Alaska, ami Capt Healy of ion Dear Bear have for a couple of years ing deer from Siberia, and this is the reason for the sup- posed scarcity throughout that region; but the scarcity appears to be toward the south- =n, southwestern and northern coasts. In the far interior there are myriads of them. “They are remarkably numerous every where about my mission near the mouth of the Porcupine river,” said the reverend gen- tleman. “Back toward the mountains from my house I have seen great bands of them, and almost everywhere I looked I could see ‘This summer when the ice broke up the river I remember seeing six or seven them on a cake of ice floating down, and ‘aw mary others floating on “he ice. “For much of the time I have lived at the mission. I have subsisted almost exclusive- ly on reindeer meat. It is very good, and I it is about the only kind of meat 't get tired of. I think it is better, considered, than beef,and you can ft longer without its palling on you. Indians eat it almost exclusively, and very big and strong. Some of them feet in height, and the average is five feet ten inches. They are gen- North American Indians, and not the Aleuts, Esquimaux, or a mixture of the two. “I keep an Indian hunter, and he supplies me with all the reindeer meat I want. He also brings In grouse, ducks, bear and other game as I need it. I have learned to shoot pretty well myself, as all white men do in that region. The ducks and grouse, like the reindeer, are remarkably good eating. “It is fearfully cold there. Last winter the thermometer was for a week at a time down to sixty degrees, and I have seen it go even considerably lower. At no time in the winter, nor during other winters that I have been there, wats it higher than forty degrees. This cold is excruciating. We lived in a solid log house, a good warm one, but many @ time I have awakened in the night and found the blankets, which were kept up well punder the nose, frozen into a cake of ica) Sometimes the intense cold cakes the blank- ets for a long distance down. “Meats and everything froze, and you would throw them anywhere without think- ing. The worst experience was trying to make bread. The yeast would freeze in spite of you, oftentimes even when the greatest care was exercisat. If you stepped out, everything was so sti'l and xo intensely cold you could hear yourself breathe. It had a rustling sound. “I discovered a 2neer thing wbout the cold, and it was this: Below forty degrees you didn’t notice it any more than forty degrees. It might go to sixty degrees, or even more, but it made so little difference that you didn’t notice it, It was all practically the same to you. “The wonders of the aurora borealis in that region cannot be told. ‘Tho heavens ell winter long are lit up with a golden glow. Indeed, I may say the coiors—the spazkles and flashes—are so many, contant and varied that no one can describe them. There is practically no day during the rear. For two or three months, up to December 15, from 9 to 12 o'clock, there 1s a sort of dawn, but the rest of the time it is night. It is so clear that yop can go out and read @ newspaper anywhere. “The 400 or £00 Indians at my mission are bright, and good progress Sas been made in instructing them. Nearly all of them can read in their own language. I have trans- lated various religious and other books, which have been printed in England, for their use. They have an entirely different language from uny other Indians. There are five different ianguages, for instance, from there down to the mouth of the m. and no one tribe «an understand the r. The laag-riges are all as different as French is from German. ET ite i] Prospects of Troable at Pine Ridge. ‘There ts said to be a strong possibility of another Indian outbreak in the Pine Ridge section. The Big Foot band, which Col. ¥orsyth seriously crippled recently, marched 400 strong. including 150 fighting bucks, from the Standing Rock agency to Pine Ridge, where they declared they would remain If they had to fight. They said their le were buried there and they wanted to make it their home. Capt. Penny immediately called out his sixty Indian police, arming each with forty.

Dublin's lord mayor, James Shanks, is Persona non grata with the high governing officials of the Chicago fair, particularly with Director General Davis. The trouble ‘Was caused by the lord mayor's fil-edvised and discourteous speech at the Music Hall banquet, of which mention was made in yesterday's Star. Executive Commissioner Hovey of Massa- chusetts came to the banquet prepared with an interesting speech, which he was to de- liver in response to the toast, ““‘The execu- tive commissioners of the United States.” When {t became his turn to speak, just be- fore the closing address of President Higin- botham, the representative of Massachu- setts left the hall with Ill-concealed. feel- ings of disgust because of a confusion created by the foreign and other guests and their persistent refusal to listen to the speeches. So the director general announced that Mr. Hovey’s place on the program would be taken by Mayor Shanks, who had evi- dentiy come primed to make a discordant speech, although his name, as he took Pains to inform his hosts at the beginning of his speech, was not on the list. His first complaint was that, through an uninten- tional oversight, the name of Ireland was not included in the toast “Great Britain and her colonies.” The director general felt offended when the lord mayor also complained that Ire- land was not represented at the fair with @ building of her own and courts of her own. When he said: “The next time don’t have the McKinley tariff” Col. Davis, who is a stanch republican, stood up, and his eyes flashed with indignatiom He said to his friends around him: “I wiil call him down for that.” ‘When Mayor Shanks sat down nobody applauded the sentiments, and the director general quickly arose. In firm but polite language he informed the lord mayor that it was no time or place, and ill became him &8 @ guest when asked to respond for an American commissioner, to criticise Ameri- can statesmen. As ‘to his complaint that Ireland was not represented as a na- tion, it was absurd, as well as discourteous to the exposition officers, because only na- tions recognized as such by ali the.civil- boc mp could be represented at the world’s fair, ‘The lord mayor looked abashed and made no reply. oo ___—_ NAUTICAL TERMS.
