Canned Corn.

Everybody is interested in canned
corn, but not everybody knows that a
suit has been in progress in the
United States Court, i'll Massachusetts,
by which various very important claims
to the packing business are to be set
tied. Judge CIaiford has decided that
the plaintiffs in the case are the only
parties authorized to put up hermetl-
cally sealed green corn by process in
which the corn is first cut from the cob
by means of curved and gauged knife,
or other suitable means, then packed
in cans and Theoretically sealed, then
exposed to steam or boiling heat for an
hour and half, then the cans pune
tured and Immediately resealed while
hot, then continued IN heat for two
hours and half longer, and then slow
ly cooled in room ut the temperature
of 100 degrees Fahrenheit. This de-
cision is interesting to all packers,
dealers, and consumers. An appeal
has been taken, and after final decision,
suits for infringement and damages
will be set in motion. If the case on
appeal goes in favor of the plaintiffs
they will have the right to put up all
the green corn in this country, and
dictate who shall put it up, and fix
their own prices for this article.

StOkes's Perndy.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean, IN tren-
chant editorial REVIEW vi the FISK traB-
edy, thus powerfully epltomlzes the cass
against his ussassln
There was, perhaps, never, IN the
history of crime, u more unJustlhaoie
homicide than tho killing vi james
Fisk. Jr., by Stokes. For II time the
latter was gilded parasite OF the tor
,n.r The small specuiator lived Oh
the crumbs from the table vi the daring
stock operator lie wheedied from the
reckless railway king the secrets OF his
ring, and traded with profit IN the shall
lows of Wall street while his master
waded safely through the deeper waters.
But not content with these compara-
lively honest gains, picked up under the
shadow of the man he began to hate
because of his boldness and of his good
luck, he formed doubly dishonorable
alliance with his patrons misti ess-
digraceful in itself because immoral,
aud shameless because perhdious to bls
friend. This alliance was wretched
partnership; the female role was, In
hours of confidence, to extract from
their mutual protector the secrets OF lils
business, and the male role to use the
information on Change for personal
profit. Fisk discovered the double per-
fidy of mistress and friend, and, de-
ceiving the former, led the latter to the
verge of financial ruin. Then followed
the lawsuits and arrests. Both Stokes
and Miss Mansfield regarded Fisk's es-
tate rs lawful plur Ter to their joint Gu
pidity. Both bld abused his conf
dence both lived and hourished of his
bounty bot. were extravagant and
both saw ruin at the bottom
of the cup Of immortality they had
drained to the dregs. Both inquired
money to support them in the costly
pleasures of the upper circles of vice;
but every effort of ingenuity, every de-
vice of cunning, every trick of the des-
perate gambler in the smiles of fortune,
had been exhausted, and in the heart OF
Stokes there remained nothing but tho
brutal thirst for revenge.

A Terrible Explosion.

Several weeks ago Mr.. Harsh OF Dey
street. New York, bought. at a govern.
ment sale, anumber Of cases OF condemn
ed metallic cartridges. The bullets and
copper alone were valuable, and the
work OF breaking the cartridges up was
carried on for fortnight The process
was performed in II recess, bench be-
ing fitted up with two vices. into which
the cartridges were put while the copper
was separated from the bullets by n
chisel. The powder was emptied into
tin wash. h.bowls, three Of which werc
nearly full. Mr.. Harsh had been notif-
ed that the process was n dangerous
one, but he disregarded all advice, and
brought his three sons down with him
10 bis store. and set to work with them
and his porter. Leonard, IN getting out
the bullets. 1t is supposed that one of
the lads found the powder in one of cho
cartridges caked or hard, and difficult
to extract. and used q knife to pick it
ont, and in so doing scratched and ignit-
ed the Illuminating substance at the
bottom of the cartridge. An explosion
occurred, and quantity of powder ly-
ing loose on the table ignited. Henry
Harsh found time to rush from the
place where the work was going on, but
the Others were sitting down and COM
pletely hemmed in, and the powder in
the wash pans ignited, and Sbont 300
cartridges in n half emptied can hexplod-
ed, hurting Harsh, his two sons, and
the porter against the packing cases,
and burning them terribly. The bullets,
when the cartridges exploded, were
hurled in every direction, breaking
several windows in the glass partition
in the rear of the store and denting the
ceiling in about fifty places. One of
the bullets stuck in the ceiling. At the
time of the explosion several customers
and two clerks were in the front of the
store and escaped urinjured and gave
an alarm Of fire. When the Fire De-
partment arrived couple OF buckets of
water averted all danger, and the injur-
ed persons, who were severely confused
and dreadIully burned and blackered,
were carried to the Hospital, where
they were most tenderly treated. While

The Newspaper OF To-Day.

The Christian Union, of New York
city, gives us dissertation upon the
"Newsr oper Of To-Day" remarking:
"We often hear journalism spoken OF
as profession. The phrase is yet only
a prophesy. Journalism is not yet a
profession but it ought to be, and it
will be. If it were organized like the
professions of the law and of medicine,
with its appropriate code, its appropri-
ate maxims, aspirations, desires and
antipathies, it might greatly increase its
purity, dignity and influence. Brains
and culture and the power of expression
would preserve their rights in the new
profession against the overbearing ways
of capital, as successfully as cores
ponding eminence does in the two older
professions. Besides, il duly organ
lied, journalism could protect itself. not
only from assaults that are without, but
from the greater harm Of diseraces that
are within. No one can doubt that
American journalism is to 60 on IN ma
tsrial enterprise.

Five or six are known to have escaped Great ex-
citenent prevails, and the police are in full force in
the streets, trying to prevent any further catas-
trophe.
Ten p. m.-An interview with Henry Hysner who
was standing the wall which fell confirms the
report that there were 20 or 80 persons on the wall
and tmbers leading thereto. He was considerably
bruised in getting ont. and his son was saved by
Joseph Rmglestein, who was in the street at the
time 1t is known certainly that three persons were
taken out alive. No search can be made for the
bodies tonight. AS the news spreads through the
city the excitement increases. A Mr.. Potter, who
was foreman on the work. says that he saw there
was great danger of the wall being swept
out. and he advised and even begged the
people to get of. He at last appealed
to the watchman of the building to drive the peo-
pie away but he refused except to keep off the boys
Mr. Potter gave up in despair and just reached the
sidewalk when the crash occurred. He turned to
hear the cries of the unfOrtunates but was power
less to save any of them. If the wall has not been
washed ont to the rock. when the waters subside,
there is chance that the bodies of nearly all the
dead will be recovered, as it is thought that they
fell into the basement of the building and the cur
rent sets toward the street. Advices from
Avon show the river to be still rising there, and
there will be higher water here What the result
will be few hours will determine.

he saw a boy with one arm over plank pass under
the bridge and go over the falls. The number at
