The explosion at the Candy Factory in Bar
clay street, still continues to interest the re-
porters for the New York press There
seems to be much uncertainty as to the unm-
Der of persons whose lives were lost. Also it
| is mere conjecture as to how many bodies are
in the ruins. The stranger part OF the bust
ness is that the steam boilers, which were
thought to have exploded and caused the dis
aster, have been found intact 1t is thought
that the copper tanks. filled with materials
for making candy exploded. But no reason
is given for this suspicion. Like the fire of
1845, when the question was ''will saltpeter
explode p seems likely to be revived, candy
taking the place of saltpeter.

Of a case wherein, under statute of last
winter, Indian testimony was used to convict
Ch;uaman of selling liquor, the Silver. State
of Monday says: The first case under the
law enacted by the last Legislature, to pro-
hibit the sale of intoxi ;ating liquor to Indians,
came up in the District Court Saturday
Under the provisions of the Act Indians are
allowed to testify. The defendant was a
Celestial named All On, who was convicted
some time since in Justices Court at Union
vile of giving whiskey to Piute squaws, and
sentenced to pay fine of $3.50 or serve 24O
days in the county jail The defendant sued
out writ of habeas corpus, which was
argued before the District Judge, who re-
manded him to the custody of the Sheriff.
Failing in this, counsel for defendant appealed
the case to the District Court and the trial
came off as above stated. A jury of twelve
persons was empaneled, and three buxom
Piute maldens were sworn as witnesses, and
Naches, the Piute Chief, as interpreter. The
Chief seemed to color the evidence in favor
of defendant, and, as the squaws spoke Eng
fish intelligably, they were questioned direct
ly by the District Attorney. The evidence
against the Chinaman was positive and he
was found guilty.

A Hot Mine.
Virginia City (Nev.) Enterpril


The Savage incline, at a point heal the
water, is so hot as to be almost beyond
human endurance. But fol. their shirts
the skin of the men would be blistered
as though by a jet of scalding steam. A
mar from the mine recently showed a
blister on his arm that was nearly as
large as a mans hand. This blister was
caused by exposing his arm at the bot
tom of the incline. 1t is so hot down at
the water that in screwing a nut on the
end of a bolt one man would be obliged
to retreat. Another would then descend
and give the wrench two or three turns
when he would fall back, and a third
man would go down and give it a few
turns. The other morning the giraffe
got off the track well down the incline,
and in trying to replace it one of a small
party of men was SO overcome by the
heat that he fell down in a state of in.
sensibility. His companions carried him
from a point between the one thousand

Went to His Own Funeral.

Says hackman to a patron, pointing
to a cabby sitting on his box near by,
"You see that man? Well, he attended
his W funeral" "Not really" ex-
claims the surprised passenger. ~ will
tell you how it was" continued the cab
man. "That man complained not long
ago to his wife of hard times, and he
said he was going to drown himself.
Now, it happened that on that very day
a body, resembling his, was fished out of
the river. As he had not been heard of
for three days, the family concluded he
was dead. Now, on the day of the flu
neral he was driving his carriage along a
street when he spies his wife and all his
relations following a hearse. That's
sad,' said he to himself 'there'smy poor
old aunt, who is being buried So he
joins in the line. As luck would have
it, the aunt he thought was dead turns
around and speaks to him. Then, you
see, those two dead people began talking
to each other, and the procession stops.
And they tell me that a livelier funeral
was never seen in our town."

A farmer in Montgomery County asks
the Germantown Telegraph why it is
that oxen, after they have been used for
years at hard work, make beef SO much
superior to that of young bullocks which
have never been used to the yoke. The
answer is very simple. When oxen are

is new flesh, SO that by the time they are
ready for the butchers they furnish al
most an entire new carcass, sweet, juicy
and tender. Young cattle never take on
fat SO readily while they are growing,
and hence their meat never becomes so
solid, tender or juicy. Tender it fire.

The West.

Three road agents who had been plying
their vocation on the Cheyenne stage road
nave been arrested and jailed at Deadwood.
They were spotted by the Sheriff and
deputies, and arrests were made. One of
the robbers resisted arrest, drawing a
revolver and shooting Officer May through
the arm. The fire was returned, but the
desperate succeeded in getting to his horse,
and started over the hill. The horse was
killed by a rifle shot, and before the robber
could recover himself from the fall, Sheriff
Bullock closed with and easily overcame
him, as he had been shot through the body
and was weak from loss of blood. The
wound is probably fatal.

There are grave fears of a collision. Init
