Cause OF the Candy Factory Explosion.
New York, Jan. THE most plaus-
ible theory yet suggested regarding the
explosion at Greenfeld's candy facto! y
is that it was caused by dynamite, for
these reasons, namely: The persons in
jured, who are still living, were in the
gum room, on the second floor. Glyce-
rine is admitted TO have been on the
premises. Terra Alba, mixed with
glycerine and nitric acid, forms dyna-
mite. 1t is asserted that terra alba is
used for adulterating confectionery,
and nitric acid is used in making acid
.ulated gum drops. Here are all the
constituents for an explosion, if brought
together by accident or design. The
force Of dynamite, when exploded, is
downward, and that, according to the
best evidence, was the direction of
whatever prostrated Greenfeld's fac
tory

A PRETTY GIRLS CLUB IN HART.
FORD.

Correspondence OF the Springfield Rep.
The Young Ladies' Saturday morning
Club, comprising some forty of the
brightest and prettiesL girls In Hartford,
Is now in its second year, and has already
wrestled with some pretty difficult sub
jects and settled them to the satisfaction
of the members. Among these social
problems discussed was "The Legal Dis
abilities of Married Women," and later
"The Literature OF Scandinavia and
Russia" In fact, the modest author of
"Reveries of Bachelor" who fights
nearly as shy of publicity now as he did
when he wrote his charming "Reveries"
under non de plume, responded to the
clubs written invitation TO him to ad-
dress them that he was afraid that he
had nothing TO say deep enough to inter-
est them. But they have already cap
tured Warner, Clemens, Higginson, Hol-
land and Howells, and Mr.. Mitchell will
yet have TO succumb, for, as one Of the
above put it, "the girls are so dreadfully
pretty that you can't say no when you
see them," which MIR. Mitchell has not
yet done.

FATAL FAMILY QUARREL,

ARcoLA, ILL.,, Jan. ia horrible,
murderous affray occurred In a family
here on Sunday afternoon. G. Bray, an
old citizen, made savage assault upon
his daughter, choking and otherwise
abusing her. Her mother interfering, he
treated her with like cruelty. His Oldest
son, named George, IL years old, rescued
bis mother, when Bray then attacked
George with his knife, and George took
it away from him. George then took an
axe and started TO cut wood. The father
followed him with musket, swearing he
would shoot his brains out. The boy
pushed the muzzle down, at the same
time striking his father a deadly blow
with an axe, fracturing his skull above
the right eye, when, seeing that his father
would doubtless die, the son, in his
alarm, fed from the place.

On the night Of August 31st, 1874, two
young men entered the beer saloon OF
Simon Schmidt, 1852 South Eighth St.,
Philadelphia, and wanted drinks. They
were drunk, and Schmidt refused TO give
them liquor. They then asked TO 60 In
the yard, and permission being given,
went. When they came in they again
wanted drinxs, and when refused became
troublesome. Schmidt tried to eject
them, when one. named Kitchen, picked
up beer glass from the bar and struck
Schmidt OH the temple, cutting dread>
fal cash. Schmidt fell, aud then two
men, pamed Mills and Stevens, who were
In the place elected them. Shortly after
wards Mills went TO the door, when
Kitchen, who had been lying ia wait,
sprang at him and cut him with beer
glass over the head. The TWO then ran
off. The police made search for them
but could not find them, as they left the
city. In eight days afterwards Schmidt
died Nothing was heard Of the men
until few days ago, when Sergeat Boggs
OF the Seventeenth district heard that
Kitchen was in the lower part Of the
city. He tried to find him, but could
not. On Saturday morning Boges was
at Seventh and Reed streets, when he
heard pistol shot. He ran in the direc-

Both were captured in alleys, and on
Sunday sent to prison for fighting. BoRgs
heard that one, who give the name Of

1 RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
Bishop Ames and Rev. Or. Frank 8.
De Haas, late United States consul at
Jerusalem, were among those present at
the meeting OF Methodist Episcopai
ministers at No. l6S West Balumore
street yesterday. Rev. Mr.. De Hass,
who returned TO America about Two
months ago, was requested 70 give his
views ~ 70 the effect of the war betwetn n
Russia and Turkey upon travel In the
Holy Land. He said that the war would
undoubtedly render Journeys through
Palestine difficult, and oven dangerous.
Ihe chief protection To travellers had
been from the presence OF the large Turk
ish garrison at Jerusalem aud other
points In the country. The inhabitants
all live In cities and villages, and when
ever thefts or robberies had been perpe-
trated ths authorities would on complain
being made cause either the restoration
of the arncles taken OF their value to be
returned In monev, in which event the
amount was assessed upon the whole
town or village. The Turks have now
withdrawn not only these garrisons, but
have taken all their available, men TO
serve In the army agai INST Russia Travel-
ers are, therefore, depri we'd Of the only
protection on which they could safely
depend, and are subject to imposition
and plunder by the pative population. :.
In regard to the results Of the war itself
Mr.. De Haas Is Of the opinion that IL will
not end until the Turks have been driven
from Europe to Asia. The Russians, he
said, would In defiance Of all obstacles
continue the campaign through the win
ter and occupy Constantinopie, TO which
project the Turks could oppose no seri
GUS obstacle. He regarded both their
army aud government rs In q totally de
moralized and helpless condition. There
was doubtless full and disnnct under
standing between Germany, Austria and
Russia that the latter should fully com
plete her conquest of European Turkey,
aud he believed England would maze no
opposition. He did not believe that
Russia would demand the acq quisition of
any territory from the captured provin-
Cos of Turkey, but that they would be
| formed into independent governments
under the protection Of the triumvirate
Of the great powers, Russia, Germany
| and Austria would demand the possess
| sion of the Black Sea and destruction OF
the fortresses at Constantinople and at
the mouth of the Danube. Constantine
pie would be made free city, aud the
Bosphorus aud Danube open to naviga-
ton by all nations. Egypt, he thought,
would be- allowed TO 60 into the possess
sion OF Great Britain, in confederation
OF her vast interests in that country. As
to Palestine, the Turkish possessions
would probably be undisturb bed, AZ IL
would bring into debt any power under
taking to govern it. Jerusalem would
however, be made free city.
Thanks were extended to Rev. Mr.. De
Hass for his courtesy. The question OF
the establishment of seminary IN the
Baltimore Conference was discussed by
kevs. Widerman and Hedges. Adjourn

COSTING MUCH MORE THAN 1T

The report of the Register of the Trea-
sury for the last fiscal year shows that a
large retrenchment in the expenses of
keeping up useless and extravagant ports
Of entry is not only practicable without
the least injury to the public service, but
is necessary as measure Of reform.
Many Of these ports are mere political
appendages; that Is 10 say they are mains

nected with them, and not for the sake
OF revenue or for advantage to commerce.
Take an illustration, in the port of
