Hon. james II. Furbee has served
notice on Hon. Fontain Smith that he
will not proceed further in his contest
for seat in the Senate from this dis
trict. This action on the part Of Nj.
Furbee was quite unexpected, as II was
thought that he intended ID push
his contest to the end "for the good
Of his party" 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Furbee began the
contest by serving notice
on Mr.. Smith within the forty days us
prescribed by law, which notice was re-
spOnde6 10 by MIR. Smith, who, as soon
rs possible after giving the return no
tiCc, commenced to take depositiOns.
Mr.. Furbae, ieN days ago, hai an ad-
ditional notice served on Mr.. Smith, and
on the same day give him notice that he
Withdrew from the contest. Thus ends

element among our people, and with II

nue. hv which four men were so badly

~ lose their lives. The men were var
nishing barrels in the varnlsh room
when the lamp was incautiously brought
TOO near the intlamable fluid. The
fumes of the varnish were ignlted and
with a flash the vat containing it was on
fire. An explosion like the clap OF thun-
der followed and the burning fluid was
scattered through the room in all dlrec-
tions with the sundered slaves OF
the vanish barrel. 1t fell upon
the worlmen like shower OF
fire and with blazing clothes and boards
they ran from the room, shouting Tor
heir. Their ielow-wOlkmen, alarmed
hv the explosion, came To their rescue
promptly, but before the burning clothes
could be torn from their bodies the
four men were most fearfully distigured.
While the efforts were made TO eXtln
guish the fire in ths varnish room, the
police were called and ambulances tele-
eraphed for from the nearest station.
The sufferers were taken to the Belle
vue Hospital, where physicians de-
clared their injuries to be fatal.
