The Gazette Maritime de Conn
naerciale. in its news regarding ocean
disasters, relates the following curious
example of the formidable power OF
molecular forces: The Italian ship
Francesca, loaded with rice, put into
port OH May IL, at East London, leak
ing considerably. A large force of men
was at once put on board to pump out
the water contained in the ship and to
unload her; but, in spite of all the activ-
ity exerted, the bags of rice soaked in
water gradually and swelled up. Two
days ,afterward, on May Is. the ship
was violently burst asunder by the
swelling of her cargo.

BRADFoRD, Pa, January 1.-The large
frame boarding house Of Garrett Abers
near RiChburg; N. Y, was destroyed by
fire at o'clock this morning. The gas
from an oil well was used as fuel in the
cooking stove, and an unexpected pressure
set fire to the kitchen. Owing to general
sickness in the house there were but lew
boarders. Nobody was in the vicinity OF
the kitchen. MB. Abcrs was sick with a
fever, in the front room, up stairs. Her
husband, who is 70 years Of fagc, was sitting
by her bedside, and from prolonged watch
ing, was about exhausted and fell asleep,
He was first awakened by tho smoke and
discovered that the entire rear part OF
the building was in flames. SEX.

and laid her down in tho snow in her night

his three children, who were sleeping in A

them. There were two tirls, aged 13 and
II years, and boy, aged 10 years, Their
legs, arms and heads were burned off and
their trunks hlackened and charred Sew
erai persons down stairs were also dangers

A Sensational View OF the Judge AdvO-
Gates RenOrt

WASHINGTON, D. c., December 3l.-The
Army and Nary Register says ave have
heard it said for a week or two that the re-
port Of the Judge Advocate General OF the
army on the Whitaker Court-mar,iaI is
likely to make a sensation. II itshall turn
out that General Swain raises the question
OF the right OF the President to order a
Court-martial in this case, and emphatic
ally pronounces against the legality OF the
Court, the finding Of the Court will be of
less importance than has been sup
po5ed. There is a law which author-
i.e3 the President to institute u
Court-martial where Department Com
mander makes the charges, but we un-
ders.and that there is no law whiChauthor-
lied Mr.. Hayes to order court-martial to
try Whitaker. The President has more
power under the law in regard to naval
Courts.martial than army courtS.martial. A
decision that the court OF which General
Miles was the President was not legally
constituted must result in his ignoring its
finding. whatever that may be. Then
Whitaker will be left just where the
Academic Board at West Point put him
outside the Military Academy and outside
OF the army. He can not be restored. We
do not expect to see any further light
thrown on the Whitaker affair. The find
ing OF the eourt-martial is supposed to be
uniavorable to him. It is understood that
the hypothetical statements in the above
represent the actual state OF facts"

srEUBENvtLLE, January lon the 9Th Of
December the 1rondale furnace and mill
were sold by the Sheriff Of this county to
Henry Long, OF Pittsburgh, for S14,O67.
Mr. Long was acting as a syndic, and it
seems that he experienced some difficulty
in raising the money. The land was sold
at the same time to the First National
Bank Of Alliance for $l1,07s, and deed
made and the sale confirmed by the Court,
Parties arrived here yesterday from Chi.
eago, Cleveland and Pittsburgh, and up un.
til late hour last night it was the impres.
sion that the Long syndicate would secure
the property and the sale be confirmed.
To the astonishment Of large number Of
interested parties, it was discovered last
night that during the day new syndicate
had put in an appearance on the late train
and placed in the hands Of the Sheriff sS4,.
6e7, the price that syndic Long was to pay.
Inc sale will in all probability be confirm!
ed tomorrow morning, not, however, with.

PITTsDuRGH, January LA special to the
Commercial Gazette from Beaver Falls, Pa.
says; 4 terrible dynamite explosion took
place yesterday at the extension Of the
Pennsylvania Company's new line, which
is being graded on the north side Of Beaver
river and Wampum. Mr. Kingsmitb, the.
head director Of u gang of workmcn, placed
some dynamite in an old powder keg to dry
previous to use. This was at the noon
hour, just when the men had stopped "a
take their dinner. The key containing n
couple OF so.callcd cartridges, was placed
some eight feet from the fire, and while the
men were eating their dinner, the can ex.
ploded, and the result was that Wilford
Cunningham was struck by some OF the OK
ploded can and fatally hurt. John Burns
was seriously injured. Samuel Park.
er had one eye and the right
side Of his head injured. Wil.
liam Wood was hurt on the head and
shoulders, as were also Boshell and Frank
Sargent, n couple OF Frenchmen, and both
members OF the taboring gang. Mr.. Smith,
the boss, had just left the spot for the pur.
pose OF getting the necessary cap and fuse,
and thus escaped injury.
Wiltord Cunninghams case is said to be
necessarily fatal, he being injured in sew
eral places, besides the carotid artery be.

ADULTERATED BEER.

Commissioner Raum's Letter to the
Brewers Association.
WASHINGTON, December 3l.-The Com
missionerot Internal Revenue says, in re-
ply to letter from officers of the United
States Brewers Association on the alleged
adulteration Of beer:
"a recent examination OF the mate
rial accounts OF some OF the brewers
brought TO the attention OF the office the
fact that glucose was used by some brewers
in the manufacture OF beer. The use OF
this material having been condemned, as
] understand, by many prominent brewers
throughout the United States, and the SUBJ
ject having attracted considerable attention
in the public prints, recently concluded
to cause an examination to be made OF the
material books Of brewers, with view OF
ascertaining to what extent glucose was
used. Many leading brewers have express.
dissatisfaction at this course and am glad
to know thatthe President and Secretary
Of the U. S. Brewers Association, speak
ing, no doubt, on behalf OF the members Of
thet Association, are prepared to condemn
the use OF any article in the manufacture
OF beer which would prove deleterious to
health. lrote your statement:
awe follow the process and use the ma.
terlals that time and experience prove to
be the best, and arc naturally slow tc

any in the trade Is deleterious, we should
urge its abandonment at once, and use oil

H1t would seem that the same sentiments
should animate every brewer throughout
the country. also note your statement
that you learn 1t Is the intention Of this of
fee 70 place inspectors in each brewery, to
watch the process Of making. In reply l
will state that the law makes no provision
for stauoning inspectors at breweries, Us
store keepers are placed at distilleries,
and the only inspection that would be
practicable under the existing appropria-
tons would be such as Revenue Agents
and Deputy Collectors usually make In
the examination Of breweries. The laws
ofthe United States mHkeno provision for
the Commissioner Of Internal Revenue to
prescribe the material out Of which beer
shall be made, and would not undertake
to exercise powers in this respect not pro-
vided forby law. Brewers are, however, re-
quired to Keep books Of the material used
in the manufacture OF their products These
books may be inspected ut any time by
the officers OF the Internal Revenue Ser
vice and abstracts taken thereirom. II a.
brewer should be found using articles for
the production OF beer which arc recog-
nized by chemists as injurious to the health
Of the people, 1t would seem to be contrary
TO public policy that information upon this
subject should be withheld from the pub
lie. 1t was in reference to this view OF the
case that the examination was cOntem-
plated and not with view Of subjecting
brewers to any inconvenience or expense,
and in this I have no doubt the Office is re-
Ceiving the hearty Co.operation Of your as
sociation. Very respectfully,

YBTlRpAY was the fist New Years day
coming on Sunday since January !, 1871,
eleven years ago. Most people would sup
pose at first thought that we ought to get a
Sunday New Years every seventh year,
but such is not the case owing to the disar-
ranging interference OF Leap Year. We
have had three Leap Years since 1871, and
they threw its recurrence on Sunday over
for eleven years, or until this year. The
next New Years Sunday, however, will
come around in six years, or in 1888, and

These queer occurrences seem to have been
gotten up to diminish the holiday enjoy

Special Dispatch to the IntelllgenceE
WAsHlSoroN D, O., January l.-Pennsyl-
vanians in Washington are looking forward
to changes in The U. S. officials in that State
to bel made this week, perhaps. The enomi-
nation Of Nevlns to be Surveyor Of Customs
at Philadelphia is conceded to be a fore
gone conclusion, and the assertion is made
with great emphasis that Mr.. Case will be
appointed Collector at Pittsburgh. In ad-
dition to this it is claimed that Senator
Don Cameron has received promise from
the administration that Pennsylvania shall
have two foreign missions, one first and
one second class, and that heis now making
up his mind as to whom he will name for
the places. The name OF Gen. Harlranft is
suggested for one place, and II he should
be appointed Mr.. Cameron would
have the nomination OF new col
lector at Philadelphia. Senator Cam
eron has the solid support Of tho entire
Republican delegation from his State with
the exception OF Congressman Bayne, Of
Pittsburgh, and he is making it very lively
for Bayne. Prominent Pittsburgh Repub-
licans who have been here recently say
that Bayne's grave has been already dug
and he will be buried without the honors
Of war next fall. Cameron runs the Pitts
burgh district, appointing his own men to
Office without even consulting Bayne and
and has everything in his own hands.
With reference to the recent report that
Ex-senator Conkling's health is frail, Sec
retary Folser says that he spent several
hours with him last Friday and found him
in splendid condition, nssimilating his
food and apparently enjoying the repose
guaranteed by good conscience.

ITO what do you attribute the bad show.
ing Of the South?" asked the reporter.
Principally the failure in crops, vet nc
little is due to the laxity Of The State
commercial laws. Saturday we received =
dispatch giving information of eight fail
ures, all Of which but one were in Missis
siPpi and Arkansas, and in these Louisville
parties are interested. In these States the
law allows u preference OF the creditor
which, of course, gives room for great ras
cality, and men pay fifty cents on the dol
lar when they are able to pay dollar fol

ences between the creditor and the debtor
rcGonciled in the general prosperity o.
things, good equitable bankrupt Law
could be made to greatly increase the pros
perity OF the country.
