NINE EXPLOSION.

San Francisco, Nov. A. An explosion
occurred in tunnel No 3. on the narrow "
guage railroad from San Jose to Santa
Cruz, early this forenoon. From the
meagre accounts thus far received it ap-
pears that blast was let off about 200
feet from the mouth of the tunnel which
caused an explosion of gas generated by
the filtering of coal oil through the roof
and sides of the tunnel. Twenty.one
Cinnamon and two white men were at
work in the tunnel at the time. Imme-
diately about twenty more Cinnamon
rushed into the tunnel with torches to
aid their comrades, When they had
penetrated about l 800 feet their torches
caused a second explosion more terrible
than the first, shaking the mountain to
its centre. The white men, Hinkle and
Johnson, were brought out terribly
burned and about ten Cinnamon were
all seriously Injured. AS near as can be
learned some 80 Ghinamen were killed.
The second explosion wrecked the en-.
gines and works. Physicians were dis
patched to the scene from San Jose, and
everything possible is being done for the
sufferers.

HOW EDISON MADE A BUG.

A correspondent of tho indianapolis
Journal tells tho following story of
Edison: One of my letters spoke of
tho possibility of utilizing the present
gas-pipcs by running tho electric wires
through them. "IIow is this wonderful
Edison going to get his wires though
tho pipes, 1 should like to knOw?'
asked an unbclievcr. Edison thought
it over" Why, sec here, Johnson" he
exclaimed the next morning. "1'll
make a bug that will drag II wire
through all the pipes in New York;
"Makc a bug!' said johnson, "what in
the world are you talking about?''
"Well, I'll mako a bug" said Edison;
tsan iron bug, that will go where you
send it and drag wire after it," His
assistants drew around while he de-
scribed his coming-or, rather his going
bug. Next day no Matched rude
specimen of that insect as large as a
coat button. And it stood out on the
table and crawled! 1t was constructed
thus: A minute electromagnetic carried
behind it fine insulated wire, the
armature of tho magnet operating n
friction pawl. Now, observe, every
time the circuit is closed through the
magnet the armature is attracted, the
paw clutches the sides of the gas-pipe
Win It's claws, and the magnet behind |
is drawn toward the armature about a |
sixteenth OF aninch. When the circuit
is open, the armature reaches forward
to take u second step. Thus, at every
closing of the circuit the-iittle magnet
advances one step and drags forward the
insulated wire. This description will
be perhaps incomprehensible to nom
experts, but more people know some
thing about electricity than formerly,
and every telegraph operator will
understand how this iron bug reaches

ORVILLE GRANT INSANE.

A friend was telling me about Il new
phase which tho insanity of Orville
Grant has taken. lie imagincs that the
persons in Office here (some $4,000 in
numbcr) arc very ungratcful to him,
and says he has placed the most of
them in their positions, and now the
said 1000 refuse to divide with him.
He remarked that putting him in the
insane asylum was Il conspiracy on
account of his influence and his brothers
(Gen. GRANT, celebrity. His family
live in New Jersey, but he spends the
most of his time in Washington, and is
tho guest of Col. Ross, formerly of
Grants staff. Orvillc called at the
rooms of my friends before they were
up. lie banged at the door, and when
asked who was wanted, replied: "Ny
name is Orvillc, and 1 want n clean
shirt; must have onc!' The gentleman
replied that he could not open the door,
that his wife was not up. "Oll, that
that makes no difference rejoined
Orville, s'I must have the shirt He
was finally induced to leave and called
again in Il few days, saying he wanted
Il dime to buy a paper collar; the lady
handed him fifteen cents; he would not
be extravaganza, but would keep five
cents for car fare. He said while he was
there he would have his handkcrchiefs
washed; the lady had this done, and in
Il short time they We're handed to him.
He was much pleased, and laughingly
"that very few persons could
get their handkcrchiefs laundried and
returned while waiting for them, and
that it was pleasant thing to have |
rich relations" He carries very
heavy. cane, which, he says, is to keep
away dogs, or for persons who might
attempt to put him in the asylum.
He is anxiously looking forward to
his brothers return, and says that if
nominated he will be President.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilativc organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tions within thfi range can rarely with
stand or evadc them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have batfled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aPerient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflaIncd.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither caomcl
nor any delctcrious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
