Y Accidents. Killed. Injured
A Terrible Death.

A TRULY. horrible incident is reported In the
vienese papers as having recently taken
place in the great paper-mill of Messrs. Gel
lerth & Fuerth, at Pilsen. 1t having been re-
ported to the manager of that institution that
the great steam boiler was foul and the fur
naces required cleaning, he caused the fires to
be extinguished and employed gang Of
Workmen to execute the necessary cleansing
operations. One of the laborers, u powerful
young fellow Of nineteen, named Anthony
Kaczander, after toiling hard at his share Of
the job for several consecutive hours, lay
down in the huge air-pipe, running under the
main furnace, intending to SNATCH a few mo-
ments' rest. He must have fallen into
q deep sleep, for, when the
masons instructed to brick up the end
of the pipe later on in the day carried out
their orders, he made no sign. As soon Is the
furnace was pronounced to be again in work
ing order the stokers were Instructed to light
the fires, and did SO. Presently Kaezander
was missed in the mill. Search was Instituted
for him, but in vain. Next morning 1t appears
to have occurred to one Of his fellow-work-
men that he might have crept into the air
pipe. Upon this suggestion being communi-

taken to break into the closed mouth Of the

The Mekarski engine is about to be

with a car or separately. This locomo-
tive weighs about seven and half tons,
and consists of cylindrical steel reservoirs
that are charged with air at a pressure
of $50 pounds to the square inch before
starting, a special regulating apparatus,
ard ordinary cylinders and driving gear.
The air passes through areservof Of hot
water and steam to the regulator, and
thence to the cylinders. The heat thus
impaired to the air increases its volume
and prevents the freezing of moisture in
the exhaust passages. When this engine
is working there is no noise, and thereis
the further and obvious advantage Of IN
absence of smoke. This type of motor
has been in szccessful operation in
Nantes for about two years.

Carlyle and the New England Girl.

I recall the uproarious mirth with
which he and Mrs. Carlyle used to re-,
count the incidents of q visit they had
received from q young New England
woman, and describe the earnest, devout
homage her credulous soul had rendered
him. 1t was her first visit abroad, and
she supposed-poor thing!-that these
famous European writer's and takers,
who so dominated her fancy at a dis
tance, really meant all they said, were as.
innocenta and lovely In their lives as in
their books; and she no sooner crossed
Carlyle's threshold, accordingly, than
her heart offered its fragrance to him
as literally as the flower opens to the
sun. And Carlyle, the inveterate com.
edian, instead of being humbled to the
dust by the revelation which such sim.
plicity suddenly flashed upon his -own
eyes of his essentially dramatic genius
and exploits, was irritated. yexed and
outraged by it as by a covert insult.

REFERRING. to the Presidents, with
drawal of the New York nominations, the
Washington correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat telegraphs in substance:
The war has begun in earnest. If any doubts
have existed as to- what the Administration
intended to do in the Conkling Robertson
imbrogliO. such doubts were set at rest to-
day by the withdrawal of names of Mr.. Conk-
ings friends. This summary action of the
President created a decided sensation, and is
the only topic in political circles to night
That the President should take this method of
assuming the offensive appears as much of a
surprise to his friends as to anybody else. 1t
had been family rumored about midnight last
night that Mr.. ConkIing would to day call up
the nncontested Nominations from his State,
which meant his friends, and press them for
confirmation. The President doubtless un.
derstood this, and quickly decided to FORE
stall such a proceeding by their withdrawal.
The comment on the course of the President
iswidespread, and differs only as the COM
mentator is in sympathy with Garfield or
Mr.. COnkiing. The latter's friends are
of the opinion that the President has
greatly overshot the mark. It viii drive
Senators to. square issue between Conkling
and Garfield. They may take their choice,
but they must take one or the other. The
Presidents friends are highly pleased at his
exhibition of backbone. They declare he will
grind Conkling to powder befose this fight is
over. The Democrats are c1ncknng in great
glec over the bloody prospect. They consider
that, terminate as the fight may, It will bring
good to them and theirs. There is lively
prospect ahead, that is generally conceded.

A REPORTER of the Western Asso-
version Of the Presidents letter to Senator
Dawes. In the first place, the President
wrote that he was in favor Of free ballot
and fair count, not only in Virginia, but in
every State, and would encourage it; but he
would not assist in elevating a man who as
editor Of daily paper is constantly attack
ing and defaming him sand his Ad-
ministration. This referred to Cor
ham, editor of . the National RepubH-
can, and nominee, of the Republicans for
Secretary of the Senate. In it the President
said nothing about the pending nominations
In the Senate. On this subject, however,
the President maintains the same position he
took before the caucus committee. He says
faith, and if the Senate sees fit to pass some
of the nominations over, that is the business
of the Senate, but the President can not
countenance any movement or suggestion for
selecting certain nominations for considers
ton and leaving others Enacted upon.
A DISPATCH from Washington dated
the Sd says the Republican Caucus adopted
q resolution which provides, in substance,
that executive sessions shall be held forth
with (the first one tomorrow for
the transaction Of accumulated BUSH
ness in the following order: First
The reference of nominations now
on the table to appropriate committees.
Second-The consideration of pending
treaties. Third-The consideration of all
nominations heretofore or hereafter

tees which, respectively, are not oh.
jected to by one Republican Senator from
the State to which the Office appertains, or
from which, in case of National or Territori-
al appointment, the nominee is to be ap-
pointed. The principal ground of division
was between those Senators who are de-
nominated as supporting the Administra-
ton and those who side with Senator Conk-
ling. The former took the ground that an
adverse report of a committee on nominal
ton should make it contested nomination
Conkling and his friends argued in favor of
CHASING al nominations objected to by one
Senator from the State to which the nominal
ton belongs as contested. Az win be OBJ
served, the latter prevailed.

NEW YORK WATER FAMINE.

The New York Herald states that the
city in which it is published has already
begun to suffer from water famine, and
that there is only enough water in the
Croton reservoirs to last twenty days more,
supposing that no rain falls in that period.
If the Croton reservoirs are not recruited
by rain it ia difficult to see how New York
can escape serious embarrassment, if not
extensive suffering. The water supply is
already SO short that it is being sold at
from 20 to SO cents barrel for domestic
use in some parts of the city, and as usual
in such cases it is the poorer classes that feel
the first and heaviest pressure. 1t is no
doubt highly probable that rain will fall
within the next twenty days, but it ought

DIFFICULTIES ABOUT TRYING aUIrEAu.

It begins TO be evident that there viii
be some serious difficulties about the trial
of Guiteau, owing to the universal hatred
and loathing he has excited in the public
mind. One of the greatest of these diff
culties relates to the witnesses. It is
found impossible to induce people who
know him to come forward and testify on
behalf of the insanity theory, even where
there is reason to believe that they have
held that theory in the past. The same
difficulty is found in procuring counsel to
defend him. No lawyer of reputation will
undertake the matter without sn unusually
large fee, and there is no fund available
upon which TO draw for fees of any kind.
It looks as though his brother-in-law,
Scoville, would have to do the work alone,
and also as though the evidence in supper.
of his insanity plea would have to be
abandoned. The plain truth is that no.
body wants to interfere between him and
the gallows, and that therefore his defense
promises to be a very feeble one.
