one who merely glances over the
list of casualties as reported by tcle-
graphs from day to day can have but
little idea Of the fearful loss of life by
explosions in this country. Since the
LIST of January tifty-three lives have
been lost by boiler explosions, thirteen
by explosions foil, fourteen by powder
and nitro-glycerine, three by ceIlulold,
which is a very explosive compound,
and twenty-ninc by explosions in
mines. Besides these, large numbers
have been injured and manned for
life. And this is not the entire list, rs
solitary cases are rarely reported by
telegraph.

over the latter rs much rs the house

it would be wholesome example and

THERE is quite a revival going on
in the Ancient Order of United
Workmen in this city, at least in one
Of the Lodges. Chickasaw Lodge No.
40 is the youngest one Of the Order
in Memphis, and at present seems to
be the most wide awake. At the
regular meeting last night ~thirty-two
applications for membership were
made. Eighteen Of these were brought
in by one member, Mr.. j.. G. Oats, and
FIVE by Mr.. Richard Whitmore, with
others in reserve. At the next meet
ing there will be oyer forty candidates
ready for initiation. The Lodge num-
bers now about eighty but will soon
be doubled in membership. The
brethren are at work in earnest not
only here but in Nashville and various
parts Of the county. 1t is one of the
best beneficial orders in existence and
is based upon sound business prin-
ciples. The cost is reasonable and
within the means Of many ble-bodied
men. Chickasaw Lodge has issued a
circular briefly setting forth the
objects and workings of the Order, and
the members are using it most effect
lively. The other Lodges in the city
will have to go to work in a spirit Of
friendly rivalry or they will be left
behind by the dashing Chickasaws.

Nineral Wealth Of New mexlco.

Colonel Pat Donan, who is interest.
cd in mining enterprises in New
Mexico, sends us a copy of the Socorro
Sun Of September 18th, containing the
following article. If the Colonel only
makes half the fortune he deserves he
will soon be the richest man in the
Territory:
To write up the mineral resources of
New Mexico is a task Of no ordinary
Importance. There is enough glitter
and glare to every portion to cause
distrust and doubt in the minds of
sober business men and to appear like
%exaggeratiOn. While desiring to be
truthful and guarded the wonderful
surface indications are astonishing. In

western portion Of the Territory.
where prospecting has been done,
mineral has been found on the surface
that if found in Colorado would sell
for thousands of dollars without the
expenditure of a single dollar for de-
velOpment, This fact has been recog-
nized and it is frequently heard from
the lips Of Colorado prospectors. Of
the many ranges in which
rich prospects have been dis.
covered, none show more
favorable than the 0scuras, where
some Of the richest discoveries have
been made in the Territory. The
recent discoveries are Of the most fat
tering character, and deserve more
attention. In calling attention to
this range, it is not the intention Of
detracting from the merits of any
other portion, and in mentioning it.
the value Of other portions or ranges
is admitted. The first attention that
was paid to the Oscura range was By
Messrs. Hanson and Harris last fall,
when they discovered the Hansonberg
Mines, that are admitted to be Of
great value. Owing to various cir
%cumstances, the work was stopped in
that section and but little was said
about the district for some time. The
mineral, however attracted a number of
p~rospectors, and among Others, w. H.
Johnson, who is prospecting for Colonel
p. Donan and Lot Brown. These gen
tlemen fitted out a party who, under
the superintendence of Mr.. JOHNSON,
went into the 0scuras early last
and commenced prospecting in
the southern end Of the range, where a
new mining district was organized I'M
der the name of the Victoria May
District. Mr.. johnson made several
that, for the work done on
them, show great value. The Addie
mine has a shaft thirty feet deep and
four and one-half feet Of mineral.
The walls are well defined. The
hanging one is granite aud the foot is
limestone. 1t is a true assure. The
ore is iron carbonate, assaying fourteen
and one-half ounces Of gold and seven

The authorities at Washington are
considering the way in which to con-
vey Guiteau from the Jail to the court.
room. There seems to be an appre-
hension that if marched down the
street with only one or two policemen
he might get away, or possibly he
would want to stop and shake hands
with his friends. Itmight take a con.
siderable squad Of police or soldiers to
keep back crowds that would gather in
the line Of march. Various methods
have been suggested to insure his safe
and pleasant transit, but the one more
in faver is to place him in one Of the
Treasury Department burglar proof
carriages, which are used to carry
bonds, stamps, ETC., from the treasury
ts the government building, where
tho printing and engraving are done.
These wagons are made with a safe
like box Of heavy plated iron, with but
a single door, which is secured by a
strong combination lock. Guiteau,
however, might object to such close
confinement, unless he could carry
the keys. The crowd, too, might be
disappointed and disgusted at such
royal exclusiveness. The distance
from the Jail to the courthouse is
about three miles, aud the prisoner of
state might find it rather warm and
close in his iron box. 1t is proposed,
nevertheless, to try the above ;plan.
and carry it out with the aid Ct a heavy
mounted force.

Money S~tringency.

special CINCINNATI Oommercial.I
WASHINGTON, October 5.-There
appears to be a general desire on the
part Of business men in New York,
Boston and Philadelphia to know
whether the Treasury Department will
take any steps to relieve the existing
stringency in the money market.
Secretary Window is out Of the city,
and if he has any intention of changing
the present programme of disburse-
ments it is not known at the Depart
ment. ut is nonsense to talk about
the Treasury Department coming Ia
the reliefOfthe money market" said
Treasurer Gilfllan Today. IF we
we're to dump fifty millions into Wall
street to day the spectators would be
clamoring for more nextweek. There is
only one way that | can see whereby the
present temporary stringency might
be ameliorated. You will remember
that twenty millions of the continued
skies were called by the Department
on the 9th Of September. They will
be paid with interest in full on the
24th Of December. If the Secretary
saw fit to issue notice to the owners of
bonds embraced in the call that they
would be paid when presented with
interest to the date Of presentation, l
think they would come in rapidly.
Holders OF these bonds could loan the
money at a much higher rate of. in
terest than the bonds bear. The sur.
plus revenues won't allow the Depart.
ment to buy more than two millions
Of bonds per week"
Assistant Secretary Upton said: 81
don't think that the Secretary will
change his programme about the
twenty millions Of bonds embraced in
the 10th call. 1t is true he has the
right to modify the terms of the call,
so as to allow the holders to present
these bonds Immediately and obtain
interest to the date of presentation,
but | see no necessity for doing it. 1t
is no. the business Of the Department
to give Wall street easy money, any
more than 1t is its business to make
money tight. When we were engaged

is actually so scarce as has been rep

their power to obtain money to lend
at high rates, do not come forward and
get it. There are over $40, 000, 900 Of
bonds, called and due, for which the
money is awaiting IFS owners in the
