BOILER EXPLOSION AND Loss OF LIFE. -
At ten minutes before y O'Clock, A. NJ, on
Friday last, the boiler Of the steam saw ana
shineI Ie mill belonging to MeSsrS- PcTTy& Son,
of Chest Springs, located at Ashland Fur
mace three miles from the first-named place,
exploded with a report which was heard Tor
miles around. The engine, a portable one,
was not only reduced % 4 wreck, but the nllll
itself was scattered to the four winds. sad
dest of all. il must be recorded that young
man named John Allen, the engineer and
fireman, wasEnstantly killed by the combined
effects of the escaping steam and section OF
the exploded boiler striking him on the hcad
and carrying away a portion OF MS Skuli.
His remains were Inferred at Chest SprlHgS
the following Sunday. 1t may be noted as
somewhat singular fact that the timepiece
which it was the custom of the deceased TO
hang on a post directly in front OF the door OF
the engine. was not only not demolished IN
. the general wreck, but, upon subsequent eN-
animation, was found occupying Its accuS-
toned pOSitiOn and ticking away mcrrilY as
though nothing unusual had occurred, The
+ deceased was about 80 years OF age, ana was
. esteemed as an industrious and honest young
. man, with the additional qualification IN his
/ favor that all his efforts III lie were ulrecteG
J toward the maintenance OF widowed mother
and two or three sisters. Two Other employ

THE WEEKLY UNION.

The WEEKLY UNION during the business year just
closed has had an unprecedented gain in subscrip
ton lists, and enters the new business season with
such prospects as few weekly papers can boast The
WEEKLY UNION has indeed come to be recognized as
the leading weekly of the coast and for obvious
reasons. 1t surpasses all competitors in the matter
it presents, giving less than sixteen pages per
week of choice news, reading and critical matter.
But these sixteen pages not sent to the reader at
one time, to embsrrass him by their volume. On
the contrary, the WEEKLY UNION is div ded into two
parts, each termed the SEMI WEEKLY RECORD UNION,
and these two issued on Wednesdays and Saturdays,
make up the WEEKLY UNION. By this means the
news is sent to the reader fresher and ofener than
can be done by the old style of weekly. So mani
testify is this an advance in the journalism OF the
coast that the people have given their verdict in its
favor by rapidly extending the subscription lists of
the WEEKLY UNION, at first stated. Every depart
ent of the paper conducted with an eye single to
the development of the resources of the State the
elevation and advancement Of her people, and the
presentation OF the best thought of the day and the
latest and most reliable news The WEEKLY UNION
is mliled for one year, post paid receipt OF 81 to
any address In the United States.

A GREAT WASTE.

A correspondent of the Carson Appeal
writing from Glenbrook, on Lake Tahoe,
gives description of the extensive timber
ing operations being conducted in the hills
beyond that place. The wood thus cut
down is almost all used in timbering the
Comstock mines. The timbers are sent
down a fiume and sawed at Glenbrook,
and the waste lumber is burned on the
spot 1t is to this aforementioned fact
that we wish to call attention. The Ap-
peal correspondent says that about fifty
cords day are thus consumed, and that
the company which owns the mills would
be very glad to give away the material to
anyone who would remove it. Allowing
for fifty-two non working days in the year,
1t appears that not less than Is, $50 cords
of wood are burned to waste in this manner,
simply because there is no immediate use
for it. The wood so burned is not mere
refuse, but capable of being worked into
a variety of forms. The correspondent
whom we have quoted remarks: "It seems
strange that some enterprislng man does
"not take the wood for sashes and mould
"ings, and it is reflection that is contin-
ually forced upon one that this great fire
sis kept up during the summer when no
zone wants it, while in the winter in Car
"son the poor are freezing" There is ev-
identity enough wood burned to waste at
Glenbrook to supply the poor of a whole
district for the winter. If it could only be
carried within reach of a population it could
be sold for firewood. One would think
that q market for some of it might be
found at Truckee, or that it could even be
brought there by wagons and sent down
the railroad. 1t is very certain, however,
that Messrs. Yerington & Bliss are burn
ing up what ought to be valuable rev.
enue, and that it could be utilized by
the expenditure of little Judgment and en-
terprise.

THE FATE OF LIMA.

Some doubt is thrown upon the state
ment that the Chileans were about to bonn
bard Lima. We hope the first reports in
this connection were unfounded, for GER
tainly the alleged purpose of the Chilean
Admiral was a barbarous and savage pur-
pose, and such deed of wanton destruc-
ton and cruelty would have deserved the
execration of the civilized world. If, how
ever, the Washington Government really
desires to prevent such brutal and useless
work il must exert itself more than it has
yet done to bring the war between Chile
Peru to an end. 1t is evident that both
these peoples are fast approaching the
stage of mere blind frenzy, and that if al
lowed fairly to enter upon it they will yet
horrify the world with hideous tragedies
which may now be prevented by the exer.
else of little firmness.

THE ATALANrA.

An English vessel has reached st.
Johns, N. B., from Plymouth, England,
with fgarehead of wrecked vessel
which she picked up on her way, and this
figurehead is said to be that of the miss
ing training-ship Atalanta. 1t is described
As being attached to portion of the stem
which bears the marks Of violent collision
or shock All the iron bolts connected
with it are twisted and bent, and its APP
pearance indicates that the vessel to which
1t belonged either ran into an iceberg, or
was run into by some other ship. 1t is
probable that this discovery sets at rest
the question of the fate of the ATLANTA.
She must have gone down suddenly in
mid.ocean from the effects of tremendous
shock of some kind, and probably none Of
her crew had the least opportunity Of
saving themselves, or of giving any in
.timation to the world of what had beiallen
them.

TIE STORY OF THE LEfEvRE-sHRoDER
CASE

The account of this case as brought out
in the preliminary examination presents
some features so remarkable and perplex.
ing as to separate it from all similar occur
rences. 1t appears from the testimony Of
DR.. Stebbins, the father of Mrs. SHREDDER,
that that unhappy woman confessed a
criminal intimacy with DR.. Lefevre, SIX
weeks before the killing OF the latter.
Upon learning this the ideas OF DR.. Steb-
bins appear to have been very curiously
directed. His first thought seems to have
been that Lefevre might bring in bill for
his services in dentistry. He testified as
follows: 81 asked Edward (Shroder) if
Lefevre had bill against him if he
probably had if he ever paid him any
money. l said on the top of this wrong
and insult he may propose to offer you a
bill for dentistry, ignoring entirely the
&c wrong he has committed on you, and
using the bill to face down the wrong"
And so he took SHREDDER with him to
Lefevre's office, and compelled Lefevre to
give him receipted bill, for no consider
alton then passing by informing him that
if he did not do so he Or Stebbins) won Id
blow out his brains. We confess that we
are quite unable to perceive the bearing
of this extraordinary procedure upon
the alleged wrong done to SHREDDER,
yet it is evident that DR.. Stebbins
regarded it as in some sense necessary
precaution to procure receipt in full of
all demands from Lefevre. Why he should
have apprehended the facing down of
the alleged wrong with bill for dem
tistry how Lefevre, if guilty of the
wrong, could have faced down the wrong
in such way or how the fercing of a
receipt from him without the payment of
the bill could have been regarded as tend.
ing to reduce the situation to more satls-
factory condition, are questions which we
find it utterly impossible to answer DR..
Stebbins evidently did not realize that in
forcing man to give receipt without
consideration he was violating the law and
placing himself in an embarrassing posi-
ton. This oversight can easily be under
stood when his agitation is taken into
account. But why he should have desired
that receipt, or what he could have feared
in case it was not obtained, are puzzles
which no amount of reflection serves to
throw any light upon. The whole incl
dent of the receipt, in fact, is one of the
most curious and bewildering we have ever
encountered in criminal case, and it gives
a peculiar oddity to the otherwise grim
and lamentable story.

THE CAMPAIGN AT THE SOUTH.

The Nation thinks that the idea of a
vigorous Republican campaign at the South
is good one, but doubts whether it
would be possible to devise argu-
ments for it, Whether the Nation
means to imply that Southern audi
ences would rot listen to any arguments
which offended them, does not appear very
clearly, but that is certainly the most
probable difficulty to be anticipated. In
fact it remains to be demonstrated that
Southern audiences will permit Republican
speakers to address meetings at all. In
the large cities it is possible that some for
bearance might be exercised, but in the
country districts it is very doubtful
whether anything of the kind would be
thought of. We, however, do not agree
with the Nation that it would be very
difficult to find topics to address South
ern Republicans upon. 1t must be taken
for granted that the latter believe
in the main doctrines of the party, namely,
national unity, a free ballot, honest money,
and so forth. If the audiences in the
South will not listen to these doctrines
they would not listen to any, and if they
refused to hear Republicans expound these
doctrines it would be because they were
themselves opposed to Republicanism. 1t,
therefore, comes to this, that if Repu blican
meetings are possible at all in the South,
they are as possible as in the North, and
that if they are not possible at
the South it is because there is no dis
position there to tolerate free discussion.
But the fact that it is the duty of the Re-
publican National Committee to make the
campaign in the South is not affected by
any such consideration. Whatever the re-
ception accorded to Republican speakers in
that region, they ought to go down there.
The Southern and Northern Democratic press
has denied the existence of intimidation at
the South, and has alleged that discussion
is free there. 1t is not difficult to settle
that question, but it can only be settled
effectually by experiment. Let prominent
Northern Republicans be sent down South,
and let them be announced to speak all
through that section during the campaign.
If they are not molested the fact will help
the Democrats somewhat, though their
arguments may more than offset this. If
they are not permitted to speak in public,
or to speak without interruption or insult,
the country will know that the condition
of things at the South has not been mis-
represented. But in any case the Southern
campaign should be made.

TIE cANpAHAR DISASTER.

The British Government is making des-
soerate efforts to reinforce the Indian army,
and not without cause. The recent disas-
ser at Candahar has evidently thrilled
through India already, and has created a
feeling of instability which the removal of
che regular Indian garrisons to Afghanistan
time been in far more unsettled condition
than the authorities have been willing to
admit. The steady growth of formidable
armies in the pay of the tributary and
Independent princes has been noted with
grave misgivings by more than one compe-
tent observer, and the succession of bad
seasons, famines and epidemics has demon
allied large populations and made them
restless and disposed to be turbulent
Whether, indeed, Russian agents have, as
Is sometimes alleged, been concerned in
fomenting disaffection in India, does
not appear clearly. but there is no
doubt that Muscovite influence has had
much to do with the British difficulties IN
Afghanistan. 1t will now be necessary
TO hasten forward all the troops that can
be spared from India, and their places must
be taken by the detachments now
being dispatched from England. The in
Fiction of speedy vengeance upon Ayoob
Khan is one of the first necessities of the
situation, and every resource of the Indian
Government must be strained to the ut
most to put sufficient force in the field
with as little delay as possible. In such a
case speed is one of the most vital factors,
and the impossibility of reinforcing the
Indian army quickly from the home depots
is the most serious embarrassment the
Government has to contend with.

Unless steel shall IN the not remote
future replace iron very generally for the
current use of thelast-named metal, 1t will
puzzle most people to know what is to be-
come of the continually increasing output
of steel. The capacity of the steel works
of the world at the present time is Inquired
at about 100000 tons per year. The
Bessemer works of the United Kingdom,
with l2O conver.ers, contribute to this
total from $50, 600 to 800, 900 tons; the
United States, with probably half as many
converters, but much superior plant and
management, produce $50, 900 tons more.
Germany has lately greatly increased her
capacity for steel production, and at pres
emit can produce about 500, 900 tons |;
France produces 275,0O0; Belgium, $50.
600; Austria, ESQ, 900, and Sweden and
Russia, about l50. 900 tens.

The first acts of the new Administration
disappointed the independent element.
They had become convinced that civil
service reform was necessary. They had
been led to expect great deal from MIR.
Hayes letter. And they found that the
new President appeared indisposed to
stand firmly for the cause of reform.
Nevertheless, it was soon apparent that
very considerable reforms had been
brought about. The old scandals ceased to
be heard of, and no new ones took their
places. Corruption among Government
employees was no longer the theme Of
criticism. Rings were not heard of any
more. The business of the country was
performed expeditiously, economically, and
honestly, and the machinery worked as
smoothly as could be expected. On the
other hand the Democrats had, through
the action of the independent voters, been
afforded an opportunity to show what they
were disposed to do. For long time they
had had the easy task of criticising their
opponents. Now they were permitted to
formulate policy themselves. As soon as
they felt power they began to justify the
popular distrust which had kept them SO
long out of office. At once the Southern
element of the party forced its way to the
front. At once the spoils element every
where assumed control. At once the party
developed policy which it has ever since
persisted in, and the leading features of
which are, paralysis of the Federal army,
Acknowledgement of the negro, clean
sweep in all the offices, the unlocking of
the Treasury for the rehabilitation of the
South. If there has been anything
more in the Democratic policy we have
failed to recognize it. On the important
currency question the party has been al
things to all men, and though it has some.
times made profession of regard for honest
money, it has always, as now in Maine,

B BLAINE telegraphed GARFIELD OF
the 18th inst. "The result is undeniabl,
u surprise to US" And then he declares
that the Democrats actually bought g.
900 Republican voters at cost of from
$4,000 TO 100000. That was TOO bad
The idea that Republicans would sell
out, and to those wicked Democrats at
that, is pretty strong story, Mr.. BLAINE.
You have always taught that yours was
the party of high-toned moral gentle
men. And now you declare that 5000
Of your followers were bought up, body
and breeches. Too bad, too bad, even
the bare idea that high-toned, moral men
would act in that manner. Had it been
DeGolyer or Credit Mobilier purchase
Mr.. BLAINE could have defended the
actors with perfect ease.
