1.-THE END.l
Spontaneous Combustion.

In the spring of 1880 a fire was dis
covered on board frigate off Cron-
stadt.r After the severest- scrutiny. no
cause for the fire could be found The
probability rs, however, strongly in fa-
yor of spontaneous combustion; for in
the following year the. -friGate Maria,
which also lay at anchor. off Crpnstadt,
was found to be on fire. The fire was,
however, early perceived and extin-'
| guIshed. After strict examination
nothing could be discovered as to its
origin. A-rconmission of inquiry was
held, which finally reported that the
fire was probably caused by parcels of
mating tied together with pack-thread,
whnhwere in the cabin when the fire
: broke out. 1t was found that the par
GELS of mating contained Russian lamp
black. prepared from fr-soot moistened
with hemp-oiI varnish. In consequence
of this the Russian Admiralty gave
orders for experiments to be made.
They shook forty pounds Of fir-wood
SCOT into tub and poured about thirty
/ five pounds of hemp-oil varniSh upon it.
| This stood for an hour. after which tfey
poured off the oil. The remaining
mixture they wrapped mp in mat, and
the bundle was laid close to the cabin
in the frigate Maria where the midship-l
men had their birth. To avoid all ,sus-
picion two officers sealed both the mat
and the door with their own seals and
stationed a watch of four officers to take
notice of all that passed through the
night. As soon as smoke should APP

cabin. The commander was immedi-
ately sinformed by an officer who through
q small hole in the door saw the mat

he dispatched 4 messenger 10 the mem

smoke became stronger and fire. be-
gan to appear, it became necessary to

Policy and PRINCIPLES.


THERE'S no mist aking the fact, that
the outlook for Democratic success next
year is SO reasona bly, hopeful that tire
quires no prophetic eye to discern the
Promised land through the haze and
mist which yet intervenes. A long
lease of power, much longer than the
Repu btican party has deserved or ex-
pectedsto hold has led to SO nluch pub
Tic abuse and filed the land with SO
much concern for its future welfare,
that good people of both parties, men
who place their patriotism above mere
party preference, are preparing to de-
sert it for better order of things.
1t might, however, be well for our
party leaders to understand that be-
cause there is an evident turning toward
Democracy and Democratic principles

necessarily show that these new re-
cruits will all be found acting with the

the following inscription: Presented to

The circumstances attending the sickness

Gustave Nord and VIM. Weisner, two
prisoners from Chissgo county, who some
months ago were placed in the jail here for
safe keeping, were yesterday taken to Cen
ter City by the sheriff of the county named
above. Nord, it will be recollected, was
arrested for numbering his wife, now go
ing on two years ago, the body of the I'M
fortunate woman having been
found in a lake some months
after the crime was committed.
The prisoner is a heavy, stolid looking
man of between forty eight and fifty years
old. With the exception of very slight
paleness his long imprisonment does not
appear to have affected him. His time
commences at 9 O'Clock this morning.
Weisner is charged with larceny. The
prisoners with their counsel, Fayette
Marsh, of this city, left on the o'clock
train over the Duluth road.

Where is Charlie Ross?

P1TTsDURG, Oct. 22.-The telegram from
ST. Louis stating that new clue had been
found to Charlie Ross, has been corrobor-
ated by the statement Of gentleman from
Wyoming territory, who says that Henry
Mosher, brother of Mosher who admitted
kidnapping Charlie Ross, was lynohed near
Cheyenne five weeks since. Mosher
begged that his life should BIS spared for
twenty-four hours and said that he whould
give the world information for which it
had been seeking for years past. He ad-
mitted having the custody of a person held
for ransom for more than year and said
he had been driven to sthe far west while
hotly pursued by detectives. The time
was not allowed him and the secret died
with him. The crime for which Mosher
was lynched was the killing of J. Il.
Wentzell and murderous assault on Jim
Knight.
