ed with dense cloud of dust. Lam
terms are used in the mill, and it is
probable that one was broken, or fire
was communicated by some other
means, which will never be known,
to this combustible dust, and the vol
ume being 80 great and so closely
confined caused this terrific explos-
ion. The dust ignites Immediately
when it comes in contact with flame.
The gentleman cited an instance that
came under his personal observation
in Milwaukee in 1860. The dust aris-
ing from dropping middlings from
one story to another was ignited by
an open light in the hands of an en-
ploye, and an explosion was caused
which injured the man and did con-
siderable damage. This dust was the
same the middlings purifier now re-
moves. When in solid mass it is
non-explosive, but when diffiused
through the air is very susceptible of
combustion and explosion-almost as
dangerous as nitro-glycerine, as has
been demonstrated by experiments
made.
1t will naturally be asked why it is
that flouring-mills do not explode
proportionately as frequently as pow
der-mills if they approximate them
in danger. The reason is that the ex-
plosive material in Touring mill is
put in a safe place 80 soon as it is sep
arated; no one approaches it; no
light goes near it; and therefore few
opportunities are given it to explode.
In q powder-mill 1t is the explosive
material that is constantly handled,
ground, mixed, and necessarily ex-
posed to opportunities of ignition.

Surrendcring Salisbury.

Nearly every point of importance an
announced as an element of British policy
in the famous Salisbury circular of April
l, 1873, is abandoned by the British gov
ernment in its recent agreement made
with Russia through Count Sehouvalotf,
the points of which agreement were first
made public in the Herald of May 80
and the text of which has just been given
by the London Globe. In the Salisbury
circular England laid down as cardinal
principle of the case and as the text of
the law that no Power could repudiate
any part of its obligations save by con-
sent of all the other nations with whom
it entered into such obligations. Eng
land now violates that principle by
agreeing privately with Russia upon a
wholesale negative of the Treaty of Paris
and two Powers have no more right to
make such an agreement than one to act
in that way without concert. Salisbury
held as absolutely inadmissable the pro-
posed treatment of Bulgaria, which is
not radically change the effect of the San
Stefano stipulations. Bessarabia is given
up. Batoum is given up, England will
raise the money for an indemnity, and
the passage of the Dardanelles is left lust
as the San ,Stefano Treaty left it. All
these points that England agrees to are
points she denounced in detail and now
the | government is indignant at the
publication of its surrender, because 1T
did not care to let the people know Just
yet how much it had yielded to Russia,
and also, perhaps, because to make
this agreement in the circumstances was
kind of contempt of the Congress-
Herald.

A Rush for Seats.

The sale ofreserved seats for the Bows
High School Commencement opened
this morning, and when a small boy ar
rived at G. +. Thomas & Co.'s store at
$50 O'Clock, tbinkig he was the earliest
bird, he found man hanging around
who said he had been there since two
o'clock. By seven o'clock, at which hour
the store was opened, large crowd had
collected, who rushed in pellmell and
had their names put down as fast as pos
sible. The rush continued until after
ten O'Clock, when all the down stairs seats
except the last row in the circle, and
about half the gallery seats were dis
posed Of
The new rule of the Board prohibiting
personsons from securing more than ten
seats apiece did not make any appreci-
able difference except to increase the
crowd and the extent of the sales. Per-
sons who desired only two or three tickets
dubbed togethert until ten were COM
bined, and then delegated one person
to procure the tickets. The difference
in the sales was perceptible; last year $50
worth of tickets being sold in three days,
while this morning $l20 worth were dis
posed of in about three hours. Very good
seats in the gallery can yet be procured.

TRIPLE CoURTsHIP, A PRIZE FIGHT
AND AN ELOPEMENT.
The Chester Times, of yesterday, re-
lates the following account of a rather
unique and romantic affair in Brandy
wine Hundred
Miss Emma Williams, very pretty
and fascinating young lady of Is years,
residing in Claymont, Del, had the mis-
fortune to have three admirers and each
was determined to win the object Of his
affection.
Lover number one, also resident of
Claymont, and lover number two, resi-
dent of Philadelphia, were over jealous
in their attentions to her, and last Sun
day week the two who were to have led
this young lady to the altar met mar the
domicile of her parents and because OF
some misunderstanding concluded to
have prize fight. The ring was made
near the Practical Farmer Hotel, and
fifteen rounds fought. The fight resulted
in favor of lover number one, to whom
the young lady had previously shown a
preference, and he was happy in tho
thought that the road was now clear TO
the nuptial altar, for he had overcome
what he presumed his only barrier to the
shrine of Hymen.
On Monday, the young lady told her
mother that she was going to see her
duutj 10 WHICH Une lllOlnor gave nef con-
sent, and the damsel started for the depot
at Claymont. She was next seen alight-
ing from the train at Chester depot with
gay young man about twenty-three
years old by her side, whose home was
also in Claymont, and who had been
paying his attention to Miss Williams as
lover number three, who was the lady's
favorite beau.
Accompanied by half dozen friends
they started for the Beale House. A
messenger with coach was dispatched
for Alderman Welser, who, in his best
high hat and new coat, was soon shown
into the parlor, where he made the anxi-
GUS twain one. The Alderman had for
gotten to take with him u certificate, and
was obliged to go back to his office for it.
On his return to the bride and groom,
he was confronted by detective of
Chester, who had been put ON their track
by bogus telegram, but the Alderman
was undaunted, and by the aid of James
Maloney was enabled to deliver into the
hands of the bride the necessary papers.
Everything seemed lovely. The pair
took an evening train for Boston, and
this morning the mother of the girl and
her forlorn lover, No. l, were in Chester
looking for the runaways.

There is curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Onderhill. the well-known
grape-grower of Croton Point, died in 1871
views of such extreme kind that they were
unwilling to allow the stock of wines then ON
hand to be sold or any more to be made
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines ON
hand. Among these is a wine of the vintage
of 1864, described as a " Sweet Union Port, -
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine of American
growth. Its purity. age and melowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
fanciers have special interest in it as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands of the well-known wholesale grocery
house of the Thurbers.-M. Y. Tribune,
