tits only within a comparatively
few years that the southern states
have made any furniture worth men,
tioning, but this Is one of their re-
sources which is being rapidly level-
oped. The Yalne of the furniture out
put of the southern states for 1882
is placed at s3,ooO,o00. With her
practically unlimited supplies of fur
niture woods and her numerous mag
nifcent sites for factories run by water
power, says she Boston Bulletin, it is
| only a question of time when the
south will assume much grsaterprom-
inenee as . furniture manufacturing
section than at present. This timber
of the south and its utilization will
form one of the most important, if
not tbs principal source Of that sec
tion's future wealth. a number of
furniture factories are HOW in opera
tion in tke soutk, and others will soon
bo under way. The business is a
good enc, sRd is bound to be leading

who warned Kellogg has the thanks

A Tremendous Blaze.

CLEVELAND, February 4.-On Satnr-
day morning a small creek called the
Klngsbury run rose far beyond its usual
height, and spread over hundreds of
acres of low land surrounding a leaky
petroleum still of the Standard Oil
Works, located q considerable distance
above the company's main works. The
escaping oil and refuse were swept down
the stream and carried under the boilers
of the Great Western Oil works, which
were nearly submerged. The oil be.
came lgnited aud Hoated to tank con-
taiuing 5000 barrels of crude petro-
leum, which took fire and exploded,
spreading the blazing oil in all direc-
tons, some being carried TO Merriam d
Margau's Paratfiue works below, which
were also fired. Continuing down the
stream, the flaming Hood next attacked
the tanks of the Standard Oil Works,
located in the valley, one after another
of which took fire. Five 10000 barrel
tanks, two 5000 barrel tanks, four stills,
one agitator, an engine-house, 800 feet
of railroad trestle and various small
works were destroyed. The tanks
were not all full. Not less than $4,000
barrels were consumed. Late on Satur-
day night the eighth large storage tank
at he Standard Oil Works exploded
and took FIRE. The fire burned all night
and until the oil WAS exhausted.

feet long, and his hair hung in wild
confession below his shoulders. He was
tall and strongly built, aud bad the air

Cured by Prayer.

DoYLEsTowN, Pa, February 4.-The
little village of Chaltont, about tour
miles west Of this town, is gosslpIng
about what its residents call miracle.
The miracle is the reported cure of a
young woman named Ella Ebert,
daughter OF Gotllieb Ebert, by what is
known as the faith cure. She has been
an invalid Cor more than two years.
Disease had made her physical wreck
and life was apparently "a burden. For
months she was hot able To rise from
her sick bed. Several physicians were
called 10 treat ner case, but none afford
eG her more than temporary relief.
Her malady was called consumption of
the lungs by some and spinal disease by
others.
Last week the invalid expressed a
belief that she could be- cured 10y pray
Ell, and her friends accordingly took
steps to hold special prayer meeting
at the Ebert residence. AT the appoint,
ed hour, 2 o'clock last Tuesday, four
members uf her church assembled and
engaged in earnest petitions for her re-
covery. Presently the sick woman
showed signs of reeaining strength.
arose from her bed, dressed aud joined
in supplcalon. Since then she is said
to be slowly recovering. This is the
second cure of this kind reported lately
in this county. This one is regarded
by the residents OF the neighoorhood as
very remarkable.

months he recovered his reason, and
asked to be released. His request WAS
refused, and he was kept shut up for
seven years longer, all his letters to bis
friends being intercepted. AT length
he succeeded in communicating with
the outside world. and was set at liber-

of cruelty to the inmates of the institu-
ton, resulting in one case in death. and
declares That a Mr.. Constantine Mum

perfectly sane, and is the prisoner ofhis
wife's paramour, who pays for his sup
