genera, news From various Points


Virginia City, New, Jan. 15.-An
explosion of kerosene lamp this even-
ing set fire to hoisting works of the
Hale and Norcross. The wind was
blowing gale, and the hoisting
works, boiler room, changing room,
machine shop, blacksmith shop, one
pump, rope house and carpenter shop
were destroyed. The men at work be-
low made their escape through the
combination shaft. 1t is difficult at
present to ascertain the amount of
damage. The shaft is thought to be
not much damaged, as it has an upward
draft, and the water was turned into it
to extinguish the falling brands. If the
big pumping engine in the hoisting
room is ruined, the loss will be nearly
half million dollars. 1t is doubtful il
the works will be rebuilt further than
will be necessary to raise and lower
tho workmen, as the work can be done
through the Challer-N N Nocross-Savage
shaft, of which the Hale & Norcross is
a part owner.

The Sandwich Islands Appeal {,
Uncle Sam.

Washington, Jan. 15.-John Oakshot,
a sugar planterof the Sandwich Isl
ands, formerly a resident of Washing
ton, had an interview with the presi-
dent to-day on the condition and future
prospects of the Sandwich Islands. He
brought letters from Minister Conley
and submitted new views of the condi-
tion of affairs in the Hawaiian king
don, not the least significant of which
is the statement that there is danger
GUS possibility that the islands may in
time come into the possession of the
Chinese, and, in that event, American
merchants. who hold the greater part
of the property on the islands would be
placed at disadvantage, King Kala-
kaua, he represented, as an easy going
person, who is almost entirely in the
hands OF California sugar planters;
they loan him money and he does their
bidding. He is a mercenary person,
who is liable any day to sell his king
dom. Under the Hawaiian laws the
Chinese may become citizens in six
months time, and can soon control the
legislature. Oakshot says that just now
the planters much desire colored emf
grafton, and they could use 100000,
and would be well protected and pro-
vided for.

that the explosive material was dropped

HOUSE.

went into committee on the funding
bill for ten minutes.
Anderson's amendment for the re-
tirement of the national bonk notes and
the issue of currency notes was con-

ment to the first section, providing for

How often we hear people coughing,
hacking and splitting, and pet those so
troubled seem TO think nothing of it,
until some of their friends say to them:
"Why, Joshua, Polly, Maria" or what
ever their names may be, ''how poor
you are getting; your cheeks and eyes
are sunken, skin looks, yellow, and do
not look like the same person as when
l saw you last" Reader, this is all
caused by neglect in not breaking up a
slight cold as soon as it appears. which
can be easily done by purchasing
and using bottle of HALE's HONEY
OF HoREnoUND AND TAR, only so

and at Crittenton's Patent Medicine
Warehouse, No. Z Sixth avenue, New

New York, Jan. 14.-The quarrel be-
tween MacKaye and Revd. Mallory and
his brother, the proprietors of the
Churchman and the Madison Square
theater, is the leading theatrical sem
sation. The Mallorys have bound Mac

reports of the accounting of the receipts
from Hazel Kirke," by which he has
been defrauded of his share of the pro-
fits under the pretext of reforming and
purchasing the drama. The Mallorys
are represented as avariciously grasping
the proceeds of his labor and skill.

severe criticism.

Washington, Jan. ia project is
in contemplation to introduce a bill to
provide for central telegraph by the
government and to fix an equitable
rate. The recent consolidation
has given an impetus to
this movement. Persons acquainted
with telegraph say that $4,000, 900
would suffice for the government 30
build a new line which would cover rs
large territory as now occupied by the
existing lines, and that the reduced
cost of the materials would enable the
government to do this at small sum
compared with the valuations of the
watered stock Of the telegraph COM
pany. The government moreover would
not be compelled to purchase the right
of way as it may declare any road in the
country post road upon which, it
could erect lines.

which provides for the incorporation of
