Every one who has ever travelled In
a railwayScar must have been greatly
annoyed by the flying dust and Gin
ders which prevent proper ventilation
and cause go much discomfort 10 the
person. TO avoid this d~isagreeable
accompaniment Of railway travel nu-
merous expedients have been tried,
hut none with the success attained by
the recent invention Of a gentleman In
Gloucester. The main point In this
contriyance lies In the fact that the
smokestack Of. the engine, instead of
being vertical, as 10 generally the case,
Is bent backward and then upward,
spreading widely ut the mouth. With
in the stack at the second curve Is
placed a wire screen at an angle OF
forty-fye degrees with the course Of
the smoke, and the usual fire screen Is
stretched across the mouth. The dust
and cinders carried into the stack are
stopped by the slanting screen, and
fall back liarmlessly, the second screen
assisting by catching what few grains
the first allows to pass. Besides these
two screens another means Of preven-
ton Is provided in the shape Of a small
hot water pipe in the stack, from
which a spray Is produced that vets
the clnders, deadening them aud as
sisting them In their passage Into q
waste pipe below, which carries them
to q box Mt the side Of the engine.
This attachment may be used or not
at the pleasure Of the engineer, being
governed bya stopcock from the boiler.
This invention has been on trial upon
the Fitchburg Railroad during the
past three weeks with sufficient sue
cess to warrant the inventor In push
Ing his plans to perfection. The ad-
vantage Of the curved stack is not only
In the prevention Of dust and cinders
upon the train, but to avoid the dam
age by fires nlong the track, which
have been the cause Of so much ex-
pense to railway companies. This
latter object Is completely attained,
and that without any apparent loss OF
power. It WAS at first supposed that
the draft would beso seriously checked
by the new stack as to counterbalance
the other advantages, but experiments
have shown that such Is not the case,
and that steam Is made equally as we'll
as with the ordinary stack. ,

AN OREGON WRETcH.-We find the
following accounto Of a most dastardly
affair In tho Oregon Democrat
An infamous villain named John
Foster, who Is n we'll known thief and
gambler, at the State Fair last week
Ingratlated himself into the favor Of
ali unsuspecting young girl, and sue
ceeded, by coaxIng and lies. In getting
her to accompany him to Portland on
the cars. Arriving at Portland. he
took the helpless and friendless maiden
to a hotel, aud, locking himself in a
room with her, accomplished her ruin
by threats and violence. lie then took
her to a house Of ill-fame, when she
was shortly rescued by tho vigilance
of the police and turned over to her
father, who had been summoned to
her relief. The name of her father Is
withheld out of consideration for the
family, who are wealthy and respect
ed citizens of Marion county. The
leoherous villain was committed to jail
In default Of $40, 900 bail. The law
has no penalty too severe to infiict
upon him In this world, and perditlon
no torments too painful for him In the
next,

IN which he referred to Catholics as

on which some one kicked away the
box on which he stood and the Rever-
end Devil fell to the ground and hurt
himself. When he next gets the devil
in him to such an extent as to induce
him to blackguard Christians, MI. De-

FIRE AND RAIN.

Thirty years ago Prof. Espy, aphil-
o,ophical American, ingoniously at
tempted to account, in n scientific
manner for the theory that great fires
are a cause Of rain. His belief was
that nothing but an immense fire was
necessary to bring down rain In an
artificial manner, and that, therefore,
at the cost Of q few thousand dollars In
the way of fuel, q rain might be caused
to fall worth millions In a time Of
drouth. He had noticed that, after the
burning Of forests and prairies, there
usually was a heavy fall Of rain, and
he believed that the frequent showers
In London and other great cities had a
similar origin. 1t had been noticed,
long ago, that rains were supposed to
be drawn down by great battles said
to be by the conclusion In tho air BY
cannonadingl, and 1t has long been be-
lieyed that they were also Induced by
volcanic eruptions. 1t WAS noticed
that burning Of large tracts OF heath
or in Scotland had generally been fol-
lowed by rain. In an extant letter,
dated August l, 1886, from the Earl OF
Pembroke to the High Sheriff OF Stat
fordshire, stating that the King Charles
~ was about passing through that
county, II was stated that as the burn
ing Of fern was reputed to cause rain,
he desired that the practice might DO
discontinued during the visit OF the
King, so "that the country and him.
self might enjoy fair weather as long
as he remains in these parts" The
late conflagratlon in Chicago broke
out on the night Of Sunday, October
sth, ragged all the next day, and until
an early hour on Tuesday, the 10TH
when, the report says, "a heavy rain
fell, extinguishlng the flames"

Fire and Loss of Property.

Yesterday, Oct. 10Th, at about half
past eleven o'clock, A. NJ, the dwelling
house of Albert Free, situated at the
north end of Grcmps street was discov-
cred on fire. The alarm was given and
in an incredible short time the Fire
Engine was on hand, but from the
great lack of water, was of little avail.
Inside of thirty minutes after the dis
covcry of the fire the entire roof and
siding was consumed, leaving nothing
standing but tho frame work which
soon went down. Tho wind was blow
ing quite fresh from the south west,
which carried the cindcrs and burning
shingles and siding great distance
The new and elegant residence of Mr..
g. A. HARRISON, some forty or fifty
rods distant from the burning building,
but directly in the line of the flying
cinders, took fire in two places on the
roof; but as the buildings in that vicin-
ity was closely watched the property
was saved from destruction.
The loss of Mr.. Free, we learn is
about Three Hundred Dollars. The
property was insured for One Hundred
Fifty dollars. Nearly every thing in
the upper rooms was destroyed.
