o ot .\\ THIRTEENTH YEAR. THE COMING MAN. He Arrives Seely i Ohicago With His Cabinet Intact, The Presidential Ride from Lowuls- ville to the Garden City—En- thusiastic Reception at Various Points. Caicaco, Tl, August 2.—A special train containing President Arthur and his party bowled out of the Loulsville, New Albany and Chicago depot at Louisville half an hour late. The leave taking which the president had of Louisville was in & measure informal, although a great concourse congregated in and about the depot to give him an_early morning send off and the gaily uniformed band of the Louisville legion was on hand to d course ‘‘Hail the Chief” as the presi- dential _party entored the de- pot, this musical attachment accompanying the president to Chicago. The special train is decked out in royal fashion and bears on its headlight an en- larged portrait of the president. Groat crowds collected at all way sta- tions to witness its flying passage. The party on board is made up as follows: President Arthur, Secretaries Lincoln, Gresham _and Folger, Surrogate Rawlins of New York, President Young of the New Albany road, Lieut.-Gen, Hanna of Indiana and press correspondents. A number of other gentlemen prominent in Indiana public lite boarded the train at various points and rode short distances, after paying their respects to the chief magistrate and members of his cabinet. The transit of the special had_evidently been well advertised as was evidenced by the great crowds along the entire route. Every crossing had its quota of specta- tors. Throughout the early portion of the run the president sought seclusion in his coach, and failed to make his appear- ance on the platiorm. Accompanying the calls made for the president at nearly all Indiana stations, were cheers by the crowds for Secretary Gresham, and were repeated and he: A stop of ten minutes was made at Valparaiso, where a crowd numbering fully eight thousand had collected. Here an address read by Mr. Lingle, of that city, on behalf of the colored residents of Valparaiso, thanking the president for the stand he had made on behalf of the race at various times. President Arthur replied in the briefest terms, thanking them for their kindly wishes, Vehement calls were made for Secretaries Lincoln Gresham, but these gentlemen, fol- lowing the action of the president, briefly expressed pleasure at meeting such a great concourse, and regretting that they could not linger and speak at 1 The same routine was observed at jon, towhich pointexcursion trains and had been run, bringing ve; e crowds, e SE Lt e all other points, from making any re- mar] 16re were no occurrences serving to mar the joerney,save that at Greencastle, Ind., where nmrge crowd had collected.

There were numerous incidents of a pleasant nature at all stations on the route. At Valparaiso a young colored lad presented the president with flowers worked into a design of a ship. At nearly all stations there was an evident desire to shake the hand of the president which he acceded to in every instance. The impression prevailed that Gen. Sher- idan was on board the train and calls were invariably made for him. Two excellent meals were served by the railroad company on the dining cars en route and the train was whirled into the depot in this city promptly at seven o'clock. Here another great crowd had gathered, but the president and party managed to reach their carriages after some dificulty and were driven quietly to a hotel. ——— ‘DORSEY'S BUDGET OF LIES, EMPHATIC DENIALS FROM TWO EDITORS. CHICAGO, August 2.—A morning paper lishes an interview with W%utelnw d, of The New York Tribune, rela- tive to the appointment of Stanley Mat- thews to the supreme branch.

'he following is the interview: The reporter said he had been sent to ask Mr. {teid concerning Dorsoy’s state- ment about the alleged bargain which Dorsey said Reid probably knew about for the appointment of S'An{ay Matthews to the supreme bench. Reid replied, ‘I never made any such in} with General Gartield, directly or indirectly, have no reason to think any such bargain was made by any body else. 1 never even asked him for the appoint- ment of Matthews, nor did 1 know Matthews was to be appointed after his rejection by the senate under Hayes.” An interview with Mr. Geo. Jones, of the New York Times, is also published, in which Jones pronounced untrue the Dorsey statement that he had even asked for, sought or accepted aid from the national committee or any one. e e— Suits Against the Western Union, PHILADELPHIA, August 2, —The hear- ing of five civil suits brought by C.

Serions Charge Bronght Against Robert Boctmrich. A young man named Robert Boehmrich was arrested early Wednesday evening and locked up in jail. He is charged by Mr. C. Kuester with embezzling between §20 and §26, from the Post Telegraph. In conversation with the prisoner last night, he said he did not know what offense he was charged with. He commenced work soliciting advertisements for the Post- Telegraph last June, he to receive twen- ty-five per cent commission. He has ob- tained about $600 worth of advertising and had received but about $24 in cash and orders on merchants for a like amount. He could get no more money from Mr. Kuester, although he was near- ly starving. On the 26th of last month he went to Mr. Specht,on Douglas strect, who had advertised, and obtained §6 on account. He then went to the store where the underwriter's sale is tak- ing place where he received 20, both sums which he appropriated to his own use but claiming to have notified Mr, Kuester. Last evening that gentleman met him and they went to the store but the proprietor was not in, An explana- tion took place between the parties which resulted in the arrest. It is claimed by Mr. Kuester that he has learned of over 50 collected by the young man who was discharged more than o week ago. The prisoner is an intelligent fellow about twenty-six years of age. At one time he was a clerk in Orchard & Bean's carpet store but it is alleged was dis- charged for intemperato habits, and it was clearly shown that the young man had money coming to him from the Post Telegraph. He finally gave a receiptin full for his services and the case was dropped. Judge Anderson stated that there wos no grounds whatever for em- bezzlement end that the charge could not be sustained. e —— PROPER FIRE PRECAUTIONS, Methods of Making Even Frame + Bulldings Practically Fire-Proof, Pioneer Press. From a well known firm of St. Paul architects the following useful statement us to how to make buildings safe from fire were obtained: Buildings indestruc- tible by fire have never been built, as all material is influenced by heat to its de- struction, but the attention of the public should be called to the fact thav we may add preventatives and obstacles to the progress of fire 1 all kinds of buildings— even frame houses can be made compar- atively fire-proof against the usual causes of fire, and neglect of proper precautions against draughts of air in the walls, and floors of iron, stone and brick will render their de- struction sure from very trivial causes, Therefore the first preventa- tive of fire is to close up ull systems of air chambers in the walls, tloors and roofs, and check all possible continuations of draught from the lower part upward through the roof, which also is & means of making buildings warmer during the cold winds of winter, This may be con- sidered by some to mean also a checking of ventilation; but is not so, for ventila- tion, to be proper, should b regulated by flues constructed for that special pur- pose. Plaster, or plaster and mortar mixed, is a most effectual stopper to close up the openings referred to, though a fow bricks will be needed to help fill the larger spaces. When constructing a building, as so many are doing now, it is poor policy to neglect & few common pre- cautions for the sake of their slight cost, or because of ignorance of proper methods, And these procautions should be particularly taken in the construction of frame buildings, NEEDED PREAUTIONS, First—See that the frame of the build- ing is filled in with brick at least ten inches above the foundations, thus shut- ting off draughts, rats, etc., from the cellar; next, that the floors are ran out between the stndding and sheathing; also, that all spaces between beams where the cross partitions come are filled full of brick and mortar; and again at all con- nections of walls with roof that the mor- tar and brick fill up solid to the shingles, These remarks also apply to buildings partly of wood and partly of brick, Secondly—Chimneys and flues should not only be built as straight as possible, but all joints filled and flushed full of mortar, not plastered, as the plaster loosens, chokes the flues and becomes one of the causes of fire, commonl called a defective flue, All wood worl coming against a flue or chimney should have @ heavy coat of mortar mixed with plaster between them, Hearths should be set on trimmer cir- cles of brick and not on wooden bottoms. Thirdly— Heating pipes should be double, or elso wire cloth lathing must be used and the studding covered with tin flashing. Fourthly—All cornices and appendages to buildings and roofs should have the hollow parts shut up 80 a8 to prevent any possible entrance of draught, Fifthly- Owners should see that the sweepings of the joiners are not swept into the z:lyuum between the floor- ing joist, around the clmuuulvu. Valua- ble property is too wantonly destroyed in our oities. ~Our carclesaness is proverbial and our houses are reputed fire traps. This is all true in the larger majority, and if it can be prevented our growth as cities will not only be greater, but our socurity and peace of mind enhanced. A MILD DECOCTION.

ELECTION OF PIKE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. CoNvonrp, August 2.- The forty-second ballot resulted in the election of Austm F. Piko for United States senator. The ballot was as folows: Wholo number cast, 316; necessary to choice, 168; Ed- ward H. Rolling 1, Aaron F. Stevens 1, William 8. Ladd 1, Gilman Marston 19, ngham 112, Austin F. Pike, having o wajority was de- ed United States senator for six years from March 4, 188 sult of the ballot was grected uous applaus, Pike is 63 years old, & luwyer in active practice, hus been a rep- resentative in congress and is considered one of the ablest republicans in the state. Soon after the election, Pike appeared with the committee of the legislature and accopted the office. Ho said the honor was entirely unexpected and undeserved. He could promiso sincerity, devotion and industry in the discharge of the duties of tho ofiice. He could promise nothing more. He hoped to be senator from New Hampshire, not only of the party, but of the people. Pike was a delegate to the first repub- lican national convention which nominat- ed John C. Fremont for president. He was born in New Huu pshire October 19, 1879. Ut T Scene-Shifting b xtraordinary. Patterson Press. 1t is seldom that the mind of the me- chanical inventor is turned to practical use by theatrical managers; and wAhun it is the case it is merely utilized for the &urpolo of producing effects on the stage. ut an invention has just been perfected that is calculated to prove of great value to the immense tnvei’ing companies that s) 4rom one point to nwtm in the nited States during the ‘‘season.” The invention referred to is a railroad freight car. To be sure, a freight car is seldom a vy potent factor in swelling the re- ceipts of a performance: but in this case it 1s the novelty, convenience, and easy facility with which it is handled that make the car valuable. The car is se built that it can be taken from the rail road track and run along the street im the same manner as an ordinary truck, Tt can be backed up to the door of any theatre and the scenery, properties, cos- tumes, etc., of the play packed away im its interior It is then hauled back to the railroad and carried to its destination, where it undergoes the same operation as before, except that the “*props,” scenery, ete., are taken out of the car, where the; have been undisturbed since they starte on the journey. There isno rehandling whatever nccessary, the car running on the track and being commodious enough to accommodate the most cumbersome sets. It was at first thought that its enormous length would interfere with its rounding short curves, but the railrond men say that its length will cause no difficulty. Messrs, Shook & Collier, of the Unoni Square theatre, are the first managers to give it o trial, and have several built es- pecially for their company’s forthcoming trip to California. Their cars are at pres- ent lying at the Erie railroad depot at Jersey City. The decoraticns on the out- side of them are as elaborate us those on the outside of professional cirens chariots, To give an idea of their capacity Mr J. W. Collier, who will accompany the troupe to San Francisco, will take with him the embassy and duel scenes of ‘“The Banker's Daughter,” the ball room set and thedining-roomset of ‘A Parisian Ro- wance,” the lofty street set from *“The Rantzaus,” the splendid scenery of the i and drawing rooms of *‘Daniel and every st of scenery in the “Lights o' London,” Ordinarily, the scenery of the latter play is enough to fill two ordinary cars, but in the new cars it will ocous»y a very small amount of space, Besides this the properties, costumes, and other accessories to the repertory of dramas that the company will play in San Francisco will form an immense amount of baggage. The Erie railroad company will attach the cars toa fast railroad train that will start five or six days in adyance of the company, and will reach San Fran- francisco in twelye days from the time they leave New York, Free Canals, Chicago Inter-Ocean. . The system of free canals in New York, inaugurated in May last, has so far proved a wise policy. The increase of usiness has been gieaty In the first week there was o gain of over 40 per cent in the number of tons of freight moved, against the same season last year, and since that time the state ments show a correspondingly sat- isfactory condition of affairs, The difference is largely made up of articles that were not on the free last ear. Corn advanced from 12,141 tons ast year to 31,503 this year; anthracite conl from 40,840 tons to 60,144 tons, The grain during the first week in July wis not 8o large, but it was large enough to gratify the advocates of the new policy. The number of tons meved was 172.01‘; during the same week last year the fig- ures were 143,600 tons, This increase of 20,047 tons 18 made up prirwigfly in wheat, which shows an advance of 217,993 bushels,
