gans Of this State, chimes in in this
way; "Mr Conkllng does not want
Senators Hill and Gordon to control
the Georgia appointments, nor do we,
for ono reason; Because unless civil
service reform is an empty sham they
should bv made by the President in
the interest of the general public and
not at all in the interest Of individual
politicians. But it seems to us that
civil service reform does not suffer any
more with Hill and Gordon supreme

which extends to College Place. The

tlons.
Within few minutes after the ex,
plosion, the wall, FIVE stories high, fell
into the street, where was gathered q
multitude ofscreaming people, and the
flames burst out in all directions,
With regard to the number of per
sons in the building at the time of tn,
explosion no definite estimate can be
had tonight, though the proprietor
thinks there were about 10. Those
employed in tho factory were princi-
pally young girls and boys from eight
to twenty years of ago.
Owing to the approach of the holi
days double force was employed, one
working during the day and the Other
at night, The force, which usually
consists of over a hundred, is changed
at five o'clock, and the fact of the OK
plosion occurring at ten minutes past
that hour renders it still more Difficult,
to know how many fell victims.
Several girls were secn to jump from
the top of the building into the fire
The greatest sacrifices of lie, however
will be among the young girls, many
of whom are from eight to fifteer
years. They were employed selling
and asserting and packing candies OF
the first floor, over the boiler. Non,
of those escaped so far as known anC
at the very lowest calculation thcr'
must be forty or fifty dead bodies il

THE WAR OvER.-The border
thieves and bandits on both sides of
the Rio Grando River, succeeded in
producing a sensation during the past
week. Some people seemed to think
that another war was right on hand,
because number Of American and
Mexican robbers were plundering each
other. That Is all there is in this fuss
about war with Mexico. Tho gov
crnment should send troops enough
along the upper Rio Grandc to shell
them out, and Il they do not dispcrse,

A Washington telegram says ;

have been personal enemies, and have
not spoken TO each other for twelve

in 1877, has brought the "milk Of human
kindness" to the surface, and like low

So just one flock after another of the
