Three Persons D,sfigured for Life by a
Foolish Christmas FrOlfc.
JEFFERsoNvILLE, Ind, Dec. 26.-Last night
John Mcclellan, an employe of the car works,
went to his home, and, in order to amuse his
wife and children, fired a lot of shooting
crackers. Not satisfied with this, he procured
pound of powder. put 1t in three ale bottles
and fastened the bottles up tightly, after he
had inserted fuse into each bottle. He at
tempted to fire them off in his yard. He was
unsuccessful in firing the bottles, and taking
them into the house he set them upon a table
where his baby and a little girl named Berry
were sitting. Mrs. Mcclellan desired to fire
off a shooting cracker, and in order to get a
light removed the chimney from a coal oil
lamp on the table, A fire cracker went off
and the lamp exploded. Burning oil was
communicated to the internal machines in the
three bottles, and all three bottles went off
with terrible effect, scattering the glass over
the room. The oil set fire to the house and
clothing of three unfortunate people; Mr.. and
Mrs. McClelland and Miss Berry. McClelland
succeeded in extinguishing the fire, not, how
ever, until he was severely burned about the
head and face Mrs. McClellan's clothing
was burned from her body. The powder and
glass from the bottles did terrible work. Miss
Berry was probably fatally injured by pieces
striking her in the side. She was also cut
and bruised in several places. Mcclellan re-
ceived number of slight wounds, one serious
from pieces of glass. One piece penetrated the
left leg to such depth that it could not be
extracted. All of the partias were disfgured
for life.

KASSON KICKED.

The stalwarts first assigned as reason
for Mr.. Kasson's defeat for the speaker
ship, that his services on the floor of the
house, as leader of the Republicans, were
indispeusably necessary. However,
much this ingeniously- applied little
piece of taffy may have been instrument
al in healing the CHASTITY wounds the
Iowa half-breed statesman received in
the speakership contest, it is evident that
he now has his eyes wide open to the
schemes and plans of the stalwart lead
ers, and that he fully realizes the fact
that the reasons assigned for his defeat
for the speakership do not hold good in
excluding him from such positions in
making up the committees of the house,
as his services in congress and public ex-
perience gave him reason to expect.
The tariff club has been very vigorous
ly used over the heads Of half breed lead
ers by the stalwarts, and as most effec-
tual means Of retiring them to obscure
stations in life, it mas proved a grand sue
cess, and notably so in Mr.. Kasson's case.
The viger, however, with which the aver
age Iowa off1ceholder has set to work to
arrange" matters to the satisfaction of
the rural admirers of Mr.. Kasson, shows
that the stalwarts, to use the language of
Disguised Iowa half breed editor, are
"afraid that something is about to drop,
and that when something drops in Iewa.
it is pretty apt to hurt somebody"

Garfield ON HIS Prospects at Chicago.

Indications were not wanting, writes
Col Rockwell in the Century for Janu-
airy, that Garfeld's name might be
brought before the convention as can
didate, and there were not a few friends
who looked with great confidence to his
nomination. He did not share this con-
fidence; and, in the light of past events,
we may now emphasize the sincerity and
earnestness Of his wish first to round out
his legislative career IN the senate.
Whenever l referred to the proba-
hility or possibility of his nomina-
ton, while he looked forward with an
honest ambition to the highest honor to
be conferred by his fellow citizens, he
would say: "Nct yet; 1 must make my
record in the senate" l shall not soon
forget my last interview with him in his
library, before his departure for Chicago
While he was fully alive to the important
results of the great convention, and his
first thoughts we're in the direction of
the welfare of his party and the country,
with the spirit of the gladiator he loDged
for the conflict of debate. Rising from
his chair, he sa e., slowly and musingly:
"Well, l go to Chicago!" Then, draw
ing himself up, he added, "And if anyone
attempts to bulldoze that convention,
propose measuring lances with him"

Gould on the stoc1s Morset.

Jay Gould is once more pronounced
bear. The sudden change of attitude by
Mr.. Gould, who was supposed to be so
loaded up with stocks that he must per-
force continue a bull until he relieved
himself, is naturally subject of lively
speculation. An accepted opinion seems
to be that he got tired of seeing the
market sustained at a certain level by
men who could prevent it going either
up or down further than suited them,
and have so long been making their daily
bread by the process known as milking.
He determined that things had to be
worse before they could be better, and
set himself to make them worse. AS Mr.
Keene and other leading operators were
making only short tuIns, they were in a
position to jump in and help, and the re-
cent terrific onslaught on the market is
the work of few big operators.

An interviewer credits little Emma
with the following anecdote: When she
was in Paris rich old miser died of hun
ger and left a poor young man a hundred
thousand francs IN return for a crust of
bread and several other kindnesses. But
the ruling passion strong in death caused
the miser to make it condition of the
will that ten thousand was to be buried
with his body. In vain the young man
consulted learned lawyers. They decided
that the money must be inferred. The
young man prepared sorrowfully for the
double funeral, when suddenly Miss Alb
bolt, struck with his double deprivation
of money and friend, advised HIM to draw
a check to the order of the deceased, and
if he should not be able to indorse it, that
would be proof that he wouldn't be able
to use it which was done, and the young
heir lived happily with the whole be-
quest

YELLOWSTONE PARK.
lis Presentation on Canvass at the Opera
House Last Night.

House Last Night.
Those who were fortunate enough to
attend the Opera house last night enjoyed
most instructive and delightful enter
tainment. The occasion was the pre-
sentation on canvass of a variety Of views
or sun pictures of the various objects
that interest the tourist and traveller in
the great national park or Yellowstone
district. Judging from the picturesque
beauty and great variety of the views a
more interesting reservoir of natural
wonders does not exist anywhere on the
face of the globe.
The scenes were presented in series
of dissolving views, and their striking
appearance fully demonstrated their
faithfulness to nature. AS described by
Prof w. w. Wyle, the wonders of this
remarkable region seem like fairy tale
of enchantment. The beauties and mani
| fold features of interest of the Great
National Park are apparently lnexhausti-
Bile. Photographs were presented of the
deep canyons, the geysers, fountains,
terraces and cascades, together with an
endless variety of views from
river, stream and mountain side.
The mlnutest features of the views are
clearly defined, bringing into bold and
striking relief the principal outlines, and
at the same time conveying an admirable
idea of the geological formation of the
myriad curiosities to be met with The
basins of pellucid water, limpid streams,
snow capped mountains, rushing tor
rents and wonderful shafts or geysers of
hot water, with which the National Park
abounds, were all truthfully given and
exacted manifestations of applause from
the audience.
The audience was immensely pleased
and Messrs. Calfee 6 Wylle are doing a
splendid service in familiarizing the pub
lie as far as can be by such means, with
the resources and objects Of admiration
and interest of this wonderful country.
The residents Of St. Paul should be par
ticularly interested as the principal aven-
ue leading to the National park is de-
stined to be by the way of this city. A
similar entertainment will be given to-
night.

THE OUTLOOK.

The old Republican regime IS gradu-
ally working into force. The worst feat
ures of Grants corrupt administration
are being reproduced. Jobbery, favor
itism and ostratism are being brought
into vogue. Arthur is suave figure
head, but he is moved by a power only
partially seen. Conk,ing, Grant, Cam
eron, Logan and their obedient instru-
ments are furnishing the material power
of the administration. Conkling, the
greatest, the leading power in the coterie
remains behind the scenes, but his potency
is constantly felt. Arthur moves
slowly, but the necessity for this
is caused by Conkling's present distance
from Washington. No important step
is taken without consultation with him.
When the election of speaker was pend
ing Don Cameron hurried to New York
to consult Conkling. Hiscock was to be
ousted, and Cameron went back to Wash
ington to make the best bargain he could.
Keifer yielded to the seductions of ambi-
ton. He accepted Cameron's require
ments, made the desired pledges and was
elected. Hiscock was defeated, and
Conkling had his revenge.
The old Grant crowd is gradually com
ing back into power. The third
term effort was defeated, but
in Arthur the old and cor
rupt modes OF Grants administration,
are to be supplemented. Bossism, ma
chine partisan work, rewards for the
faithful, the bowstrings for the non-con-
formists are now the order of the day.
Jobs of every conceivable nature will be
concocted, and will succeed, too, as under
Grant. The outlook for the country is
dark indeed. Everything points to the
renewal Of the disgraceful transactions
and corrupt schemes that spread od1um
over Grants administration. How
can this be otherwise when stalwartism..
with Conkling, Grant and Cameron for
its prophets, is the regnant power that is
developing itself and pushing Arthur
forward.
Arthur readily yields himself, and un-
reluctantly, to the pressure of these sell
fish, unpatriotic, INSCRIPTIONS, corrupt
politicians. They will shape and give
