About 3 O'Clock last night Sid Mikel, on
his way down from Ruby Hill in the stage,
saw the foundry of H. H. Conklin & Co.
on fire. He drove rapidly down town
and gave the alarm. In a few minutes
after the alarm of fire had been sounded
ha'eman street and Ruby avenue were
crowded with people. The fire companies
were ont promptly, and joining their hose,
which was attached to the hydrant near
ochwamb's undertaking establishment,
tagy rolled it out up the canyon to the fire

reached the foundry, however, the fire had

The LOckiaW Cases.

The Salt Lake Tribune says: At present
there are three we'll defined cases OF lock-
jaw among boys in this city. The son of
Mrs. Col. Wood was resting easily last
evening, but was not yet out of danger,
and a lad by the name OF Browning, in the
Eighteenth ward, was still suffering with
the disease. These two cases came from
the effects of decorations with toy pistols.
At the Hospital of the Holy Gross the lad
taken there last Sunday had more favor
able symptoms than the physicians had
reason to hope for, but he is far from
being out of danger. The disease is nearly
always fatal. hence in a well-defined case
there is little, if any, ground left for hope.

A gentleman, who ought to know where
Of he speaks, informed the Reno Journal
cred in the Sierra Nevada. Mackay did
not come back from Europe merely for his
health, nor Fair leave Washington for fun.
The time for a deal has not yet arrived,
but thai 1t will come seems to be a settled
fact. Brokers in San Francisco say that
there is little or none of the northend stocks
to be secured. 1t is laid away somewhere,
they think, in the vaults of the Nevada
Bank. The disaster to the Alta pumps will
retard operations greatly, and an expendi-
ture of $500, 600 will be necessary before
the mine is ready for business again. That
matters are shaping themselves for a deal,
however, is the general opinion.

Pig and Anti.PIg.

An American walking through a town
in Wales saw a procession with flags flying,
trumpets blowing, and a man hoisted
shoulder high, and asked, "What is all
this about2" "Why, that is the pig man, y
was the reply. A little while and he met
a similar procession, aud another man up
lifted. What is up now2" "Oh. that
is the anti-pig man." There was an cleo
ton fight over the question whether some
pigstyes were to be removed. The styes
carried the day.

From a letter to a gentleman in Eureka
from a friend who has been prospecting in
the land of flowers we Gull the following
posey: Within q radius of eight miles
around the town of Sanford, Florida, are
1000 orange groves, containing over 1861
600 trees. Only five per cent of the trees
are in bearing, but these already produce
$500, 600 oranges When the remaining
90 per cent come in, provided all things
turn out favorably, there will be a yield of
1000, 900 oranges, which is as much as
the entire State now produces. This re-
suit, within a few years. is confidently
hoped for; but there is no species Of fruit
growing which has more dangers to en-
counter than orange culture. Meantime,
railroad building is going on rapidly, the
influx of visitors increases every year, and
the State wears an air Of prosperity"

SHOWN Brakes by Electricity.
An exhibition Of an electromagnetic
brake was given On the New York, Wood
haven and Rockaway Railroad at Rock
away Beach several days ago. A train
Of freight cars ran out Of the depot about
noon. On the right side of the engine
were a dynamo-electrie machine and a
small rotary engine, close to the engineers
cab. Wires led to the next freight car
from this machine, and by an ingenious
device conveyed the power to the shoes
which stops the motion of the wheels.
Several ex experiments were made, and each
time the train was quickly and smoothly
stopped, as the electric power was stimuli
taneously applied to every car. The en-
gineer was alone in control in starting or
stopping. A urn of a valve gent the
steam into the rotary engine, which at
once started the dynamo-electric machine,
which put down the brakes and brought
the train to a stop within q space but lit
tie more than its own length.

How q CoaIheayer Succeeded TO

How q C~oaIheayer succeeded TO
an English EarldOrn.
The modest town Of Connellsville, Pa,
has had a genuine sensation. 1t consists
in the discovery that among the laborers
in the railroad shops is numbered a genu-
inc nobleman. His name is Edgerton
Davis. Two years ago he came there
ragged and weary, and applied for aid at
the hands of the Rev. W. F. Stoner, rec
tor of the Episcopal Church. Represent
ing himself as q devotee of that faith and
in want, the rector aided him, not only in
supplying his needs, but in procuring en-
ployment. AS the result of the clergy
mans influence the tramp was given work
as a coalheaver in the employ Of the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad. Subsequently he
was promoted to grease wiper in the
~roundhouse, and thence to work in the
carpenter shop. In every place he worked
~assiduously and faithfully. By good be-
havior he won upon the esteem of the COM
munity. He kept up a correspondence
with his wife in England, who has just in
formed him by letter that by the death of
an uncle he succeeds to the title of Earl Of
Elsemere, with an income of $500 a
year.
His story is an interesting one. Born
at Liverpool in 1887, he was educated at
Eton. Then reverses came, and he learned
the trade Of a cabinet-maker, and subso-
quently engaged in business with an ex-
tensive coal and iron firm. Then health
failed him and he came to America, land
ing in New York. After repeated misfor-
tunes there he went to Philadelphia, where
he WAS obbed of what remained OF his
effects. After an unsuccessful effort to re-
cover his stolen property, in which all his
resources were d~issipated, he then became
a tramp and visited all the cities Of the
United States, terminating his nomadic
life with his appearance in Connellsville
two years ago.. He is d man OF good ad-
dress and prepossessing appearance, and
though his accession to wealth and station
is sudden, it causes less surprise than
might be expected. He has left for his
homo in England.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Feb. II, 1882. e
To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette
The Tribune of Feb. 9Th published a
local romance, by Mr.. ), W. Russell,
in which great injustice was done one
of Knoxville's most estimable young la

Saturday the Supreme Court rendered
a decision against the 1908, deciding
the act unconstitutional. Now comes
the hurly-burly and the State Deposi-
tories still hold the stakes which amount
now to nearly four million dollars. BY
first one move, then another, these de-
positories have played their cards so
well as to cling to the State funds for
about five years. II is intimated that
if the State funds were Withdrawn from
these repositories, and converted into
government bonds, it would probably

settling the debt at 1908 was unconsti.
tutional, is not the act levying tax to
meet it also unconstitutional And
have not some of US, paid our taxes too
soon? However, the State repositories
are large, and will amply stowe away all
the money that can be ground out OF
our poor duped people. In the mean.

The Riddleberger Debt Bill pass
ed the Virginia House of Delegates
on the 7th, and now goes to the
Governor for the appreciation which
it is certain to receive. This bill,
which was introduced in the Senate
on the 18th of January, embraces
substantially the provisions of the
original Riddleberger Dill, the varia-
tons in figures arising chiefly from
accumulations of interest since the
latter was passed. The bill passed
by the House of Delegates
fixes the present total indebted
ness of Virginia, including interest,
at s21, O35,377 Is, and except in
some unimportant particulars, has
been unchanged in its passage
through the two houses of the Gen
eral Assembly. Theinterest offered
to be paid on the amount named
above is three per cent. The re-
fusal of the readjuster members of
House to permit the bill to be sub
mitted to the popular vote for rati-
fieation shows that the advocates of
the measure are not altogether sure
ofpublic support in the matter, and
DO not care to appeal oftener than
necessary to the people of Virginia.

The cost of.maintaining the pub
lie schools in this country last year
was about SIS, 100000, about $780,
100000 Of (which went for the. pay
of teachers. The Chicago Tribune,
is moved to say "The 5000, 100000
ofwhisky tax would pay the sal
aries of an increased force ofteachers
and for more tuition each year, and
the local taxes on homesteads could
be reduced by $4,000, 900, which in
Illinois would amount to s4,000,000
year, and yet be sufficient to provide
more school houses and better facili-
ties. The benefits of the scheme
are twofold; the reduction of direct
taxation and the enlargement of the
school system" y > e. sa, t1z sgss .,
