That Fatal Explosion.

Editors 1ntelligeneer:
In your description in yesterdays paper
Of the sad and fatal affair OF Saturday
night on Chappne hill, you spoke oil the
explosion OF the canon as having been un'
avoidable. 1t would have been more &C.
curase to say it was unintenional. The
gun was exposed on that occasion to
Strain that would be hazardous in the ex-
IRENE to a gun OF the best material. An
extra charge Of powder was used and the
gun was tamped with sods, rammed firmly
one upon the other until, as eye witnesses
to the loading state, great part OF the
guns length was filled with clay. Moth.
Ing could probably have been found that
is better adapted to resist the explosive
force OF the powder than the material
used. In blasting, clay is the material
used for tamping 80 as to successfully G?n'
fine the powder. w.

AFsIaHrRSRD WArcHMAN.-Last night
about 12 o'clock, as some young, men
were coming down Main street, it began
to rain right heavily, and they stepped un'
der the projecting ceiling Of the Exchange
Bank building to keep out OF the wet.
While standing there ashot was heard IN
the bank. The boys called to q night
Waterman on Main street, below Twelfth,
and reinforced by him made an assault on
the windows Of the bank. No answer was
received, and the boys concluded some
thing was wrong "sure enough"
An alarm was sent in from the telegraph
office to the bank by telephone; still nc
answer. Then messenger was dispatched
for Mr.. Jones, cashier Of the bank; Mean
time quite crowd had collected on the
corner. When the cashier arrived he sue
ceeded, by calling, and rapping on the
window, in bringing out the Waterman
who explained that he had heard the men
on the porch, and didn't like it." SO fired
his revolver 10 brighten them. He was
more successful than he intended.

Coup's CIBcus.-This long heralded
gigantic tented exhibition arrived in
Wheeling Sunday, and two performances
were given yesterday, the tent being com,
iortably full in the afternoon and crowded
at night. The circus is really good one
The lady trapezist has unique and origi-

attraction as eyer, the horses and dogs are
wonderfully trained, the Indians are inter

better, and the juggling unslrpsssable,
The menagerie and museum had many
features OF novelty and interest, the least
OF which was sort Of 9 balloon labeled

now TO OBTAIN SLEEP.

The following is recommended as Il
cure for siccpicssness: "Wct half q
towel, apply il to the back of the neck
pressing it upward toward the base OF
the brain, and ftston the dry half of
the towel over so as to prevent the too
rapid ex halation. The effect is prompt
and charming, cooling the brain and
inducing calmer, sweeter sleep than
any narcotic. Warm water may be
used, though most persons prefer cold.
To those who suffer from over-excite-
lnent of the brain, whether the result
of brain work or pressing anxiety, this
simple remedy has proved an especial
boom"

ADULTERATED FLOUR.
[New Orleans Times, 18TH

| Now Orleans Times, 18th.
A few days ago the Times noticed an
instance of adulterated flour sold di-
rect by n Western miller to one of our
grocery firms. Since then we have
been urged by the trade to give a
further statement of the facts. The
purchasing firms were Messrs. Schmidt
& Ziegler, Lochtc & Cordes and one or
two other houses. OF course these
houses refused to accept the property
and the -four was thrown back upon
the hands of the sellers, Messrs. lyle
harts Bros, of Evansville, Indiana.
The flour was first subjected to legal
inspection and found to DO a mixture
of wheat and corn flour; the services of
a competent chemist were next called
in, and the exact proportions of the
mixture were ascertained to be 50 per
cent wheat and 20 per cent corn meal.
We hear that the shippers very prompt
~ engaged to protect the purchasers
when they were informed that the
adultcration had been discovered. That
was all right, but it docs not account
| for the adulteration nor modify the
offonse OF which tho persons causing
the adultcration are guilty. These
| sales were made through drummers,
and since we have never heard of any
Sinlllar case Whefc the sales were made
by regular commission firms it be-
| comes y pertinent inquiry whether this
is the style Of -four which drummers,
in their pcregrinations through the
South, are selling to country mer-
chants? II they would dare to at
tempt such an imposition on the city
dealer, 1t is not unlikely tho practice is
common in their dealings with coun-
try merchants.
Here in New Orleans VIC have Il
competent board of flour inspectors,
and that is an effective check on such
impositions, rs the facts now brought
to light amply demonstrates.
Since writing the above we have
heard of several firms, other than
those mentioned, that purchased this
adulterated flour. The brands used on
this mixture are, "A. A. a." and
"Gnnd Dullc.'
