Friday night about one o'clock the
alarm of fire was raised. The alarm
was caused by fire that Was discov-
cred in NJ. c. Smiths saloon on Second
street. II was first discovered by .
family named Joseph who occupy the
rooms over the saloon, and was be-
tween the ceiling and second floor. A
bunch ofrags and paper saturated with
kerosene had been inserted between
the floors, in hole left by removing
an elevator or dumb waiter,
and set on fire. The back door Of the
saloon was partly open and q chair
placed against it, from all of which
facts it 10 clearly deduced that it was
an inccndixry xttempt to burn the
building. The officers are now work
ing MP the case aud We refrain from
further comments. The fire was put
out without doing serious damage. :

kept extremely busy, yesterday and to-

on tho trains for three cents per mile,
naturally dislike to return to the old
rate of four and half and five cents.
The consequence has been that oil
along tho line of the road numeroua
collisions between the passengers and

Frank Mayer, miner, walked into
an abandoned shaft near Chestnut
Hills, Pa, few days ago, and foil to
the bottom, distance over 100 feet
When he returned to consciousness he
found himself encompssssd by the
carcasses Of horses, cows, pigs and
goats that had blnndered into the shaft
at various times; and the horrid hiss
ing Of snakes that crawled about
him warned him that, although
he had escaped death, by his fall,
he was in danger of q moro pain
full and lingering death by the slow
poison of venomous reptiles. All that
terrible night he lay quietly ct the bot
tom Of the shaft. The next morning
he made an attempt to climb ont, but
soon discovered that al human, efforts
would be futile. He then sought to
attract the attention OF the people In
the upper world, but as the shaft 10 {

An exchange gives the following adj
vice to farmers, who next to fisherman,
are most apt to get their boots wet
through: When the boots are taken
of, ill them quite full with dry oats.
This grain has great fondness fol
damp, and will rapidly absorb the last
vestige Of it from the wet leather. As
it takes up the moisture, 1t swells and
fills the boot like tightly fitting last,
keeping it's form good, and drying the
leather without hardening it. In the
morning shake out the oats and hang
them In . bag near the fire to dry,
ready for the next wet night, draw on
the boots, and 90 happily about the
days work.

Last Thursday's Register contains the
following concerning an accident on
the X. Il ID. M. Road, near Des Moines
9 Yesterday morning the west bound
train on the X. 4 ID. NJ. Road ran of
the track near Oakwood Station, about
i've miles from Des Moines. They
were proceeding at slow rate oil
speed, and the cause OF the accident
has not been ascertained. It is sup.

defective tie. Eight cars were ditched
and wrecked, some very badly. Five
were loaded with lumber, and three
with merchandise. A coach was at.
tached to the train, and there were
about dozen passengers aboard, but
none were injured. When the crash
came the coach halted SO suddenly
as to pile them in heap on the floor.
They were brought to this city ON the
engine. The track is badly torn up
by the accident, occasioning some de.
lay to the trains yesterday, although
they will be running regularly to-day
A wrecking train was sent out imme.
diately to clear the track
