FOREST FIRES.

The consuming drought that has ragged fol

by the usual calamity OF destructive fores

soon it spread in ali direction. reaching sever

to quell the flames, which were now fed by the

Within radius of twenty miles of Whiting
Junction, In Southern New Jersey, on the lsl
inst, three distinct fires were burning The
fire advanced through the dry woods with a
noise like whilwind Thousands of acres
OF valuable cedar and pine forests were burned,
and probably 200 acres OF cranberry boys were
destroyed. The cranberry crop of that region
promised to be unusually large. The bogs,
when well cultivated are valued at from 81, 600
to 5000 an acre. The loss of the crop throws

THE SILVER DOLLAR.

Recent treasury statements show that up to
the close of business on the 3lst ult. the total
coinage OF silver dollars since the passage OF
the silver law of 1878 has been $95 922, 705
An examination of Treasurer GilflIan's state.
ment of the treasury assets and liabilities
shows that there are outstanding in round
numbers $57, 900 silver certificates, thus
showing that the amount of silver dollars and
certificates not utilized in the money circula-
ton of the country is less than $4,000 900.
On September last the amount OF silver dol
lars and certificates not utilized was nearly
$40, OOO, 900, or double the amount now lying
idle IN the treasury. In the meantime about
$4,000, 900 have been coined 1t thus appears
that during the last twelve months the out
standing circulation of silver dollars and GER
tlficates has been increased by over SAT, OOO,'

of silver doMrs and certificates. The total
coinage of silver dollars will reach 100000

TRAIN ROBBERY.

Another of those daring train robberies, fol
which southern Iowa and Missouri have be
come so notorious, occurred on the Chicago
and Alton road, at Glendae, Mo, sixteen miles
from Kansas City, at 0 O'Clock on Wednesday
night The act was committed by 12 or Il
men, of whom no doubt Is entertained that The
notorious Jesse James was again the leader
They piled lot of ties on the track, seeing

probably Gle. The amount taken from the
safe IS variously estimated at from $4,000 TO
100000. Then general robbery of the pas.
sengers took place, many of whom, however,
had found time largely to conceal their most
valuable effects, the haul not amounting to ov.
er one or two thousand dollars. The whole at.
fair occupied but Is minutes, when the rob
bers mounted their horses and were soon lost
in the neighboring woods. Three OF them,
however, were arrested next day near the
scene of their crime by the sheriff of Saline
county, and have been fully identified. Their
names are Creed Chapman, samuel Chapman,
and John Burglar, and they reside not twenty
miles from Independence.

Owing to republican greed, lest democrat
or a non partisan like David Davis, might be
elected president pro tenn. of the United States
Senate and thus possible vice president OF
the United States, the senate before its final
adjournment last spring refused to elect
president pro tenn, so that, IN case Arthur
should succeed to the presidency, that ocuy
would be left in rather awkward predlca
ment. The vice president having stepped out
and the late secretary of the senate, Mr.. Burch
having died, there will be no one, on the meet

NEW YORK POLITICS.
promise.

| The state committees Of both political par
ties IN New York met within week and call
cd state conventions to nominate candidates
for the election next fall. The principal can
didate to be nominated Is for Judge Of the
court Of appeals but though an Office of M
political significance, the contest promises to
be pretty warm one and waged on political
grounds. In the republican committee, though
the halfbreeds had congratulated themselves
that by the defeat of Conkling and Plat ia the
spring they had the grip on the stalwarts II
turned out that the latter had control OF the
committee and gained their point of having
the convention meet in New York city, where
Conkling Is SO strong that il Is feared the ma.
neuvre Will give him the usual control of the
convention.
In the democratic committee The delicate
point was SO to arrange matters as to deprive
John Kelly and his Tammany forces of all
excuse to inaugurate another holt, To this
end the members of the committee claimed
by Tammany were admitted to its consulta-
tons as well as the Irving Hall members, but
resolution was adopted denying the right Of
either Hall" to appoint delegates to the con
vention, but that all, in city and country should
be appointed in the same way, by open vote of
all in representative districts.
1t Is notable that in the republican commit.
tee not the slightest allusion was made to the
sickness OF President Garfield, while the demo.
cratic committee adopted the following clo.
quent and appropriate resolution
ResoIred, That members of the democratic
state committee, at the first meeting since the
attack upon the President of the United States,
take occasion to record their indignation and
horror at the Infamous deed, and to express
their heartfelt sympathy with the distinguish
ed sufferer and his stricken family in their
affection, with the earnest hope that the labors
of love and science for the restoration of the
chief magistrate to health anu to the full exer
else of the constitutional functions of his office
may be soon crowned with complete success.

that such an invitation will ever emanate from
