A FOrnidab,s Riv.l 80 the wsstera
Union.

CHICAGO, Sept. I4th.-James
Gamble, late manager of'the West
ern Union lines in the Pacific
States, has accepted the position of
General Manager of the New Mu-
tual Union Go. Their lines already
extend to Washington. Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Boston, Albany, Ro.
chester, Syracuse, Utica, Rome,
Auburn and Buffalo. From Buffa-
10 to Chicago their wires reach
Cleveland, Detroit and other cities.
They also reach all important
points between Toledo and st.
Louis. They cover Pittsburg, Gin
cinnati, Titusville, Louisville, and
are being extended to Southern
cities and expect that by the first
of next month the general office
will be connected with four-fifths
of the great comm ercial towns in
the country.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18th. Yes
terday's Maine election gave the
Republicans another member of
the House, which, not counting
four vacancies in New York, stands:
Republicans, IA; Democrats, 1873;
Greenbackers, 8; Readjusters, 2;
Independent Republican, Hyatt
Smith, Brooklyn. II the Republi-
cans elect three out of the four New
York members, they will have just
enough to organize the House.
If the Democrats should elect two
members, AS they claim they can,
then the Republicans will need the
help Of smith to organize the
House. 1t Is claimed that he will
act with them. Five of the Green.
hackers were formerly Republi-
cans, and will probably act with
that party as against the Demo.
crats. The result of the coming
election in Virginia will probably
have considerable influence in de-
termining the political status of
the next Congress. The Green
back leaders, especially, declare
they intend to make caucus NOM
inatiOn for Speaker aud stand by
that nomination to the last. In
New York, should the Democrats
capture Miller's or Lapham's dis.
trict, it might be fatal to the Re.
publican ascendency, as it would
enable the opposition by combine
ton to muster majority. The
chances are favorable to the Re-
publican organization, but the vote
Is likely to be so close that a sud-
den death or . case of illness might
upset all calculations.

The first attempt at the prosecution of the
Star Route jobbers is defeated. Judge Cox,
of the District Criminal Court, granted yester-
day, for reasons which he stated at length,
the motion of the defence for their discharge,
on the ground that the proceeding by in
formation instead of by indictment was unten-
able MIR. Cook, the special counsel for the Gov
ernment gave assurances that the prosecution
would promptly renew its efforts in the
methods prescribed by the Court, and it is
unoffiaally understood that there are cases in
reserve not barred by the statute of limitations

means TO handle it carefully. But she supposes
and some bctter-taught people share the error
that if she is very prudent in what she does

Now the danger of explosion lies, not in
the oil itself, but in Vapor which is formed
from it, which Bridget cannot sec and there
FORE naturally enough, disregards. The foe
turks in the upper or empty part of the cam
not in the lower part where the oil is. Kero-
senc oil of merchantable quality is not explo-
sive, nor easily set afre under ordinary condi-
tons. Indeed, the legal test of quality is that
the oil shall not emit inilammable yapor at a
temperature below one hundred degrees of the
ordinary thermometer. AS it stands in the
common kitchen, good kerosene oil is not so
very dangerous. But any volatile liquid of
this general nature--alcohol, benzine, burning
fluid, ether, chloroform, naphtha share the pecu-

no such intimatOn had ever been conveyed to
him uHtil Mr. Corkhill was making his apollo

absolute, and one of the jury was known
to be out of the city-perhaps others

whole story. 1t is difficult to avoid the con-
