HEAVY EXPLOSION IN SALT

Horrible Torture OF Clerks.

Horrible Torture Of Clerks.
CHICAGO, Jane 81 A Washing
ton special declares there is a good
deal of complaint among the clerks
over the opera ion Of The new law
keeping them at their desks until 4
O'Clock in the evening. Heretofore
during the Summer months they
were generally dismissed at 3
o'clock in the evening. This swel
tering weather reminds them of the
old custom. The recent removals
made under tie same law are also
causing a large amount of indigna-
ton inside as we'll as outside the
Government offices. The Critic
says: This condition of aff:.irs is
due to Illinois Cannon, who at this
par, icular time comes in for i'm
precautions which, if nodded to
gether, would make sulphur snf-
ficient to pave road from here to
Cannon's house in illinois. Nor is
this all of it. 1t is stated that ef
forts are being made to collect
money to defeat Mr.. Cannon's
nomination next Fall.
r-os, Tsou.sa Not Nnnro-n.l
New York, June 21.-The Post s
Washington special says: After
careful inquiry, it is ascertained
that Commissioner Evans had not a
substantial warrant for saying the
President approved of his course
in removing the four skilled agents.
1t is learned from excellent author.
ity that the President had no infor-
nation whatever as to the persons
whose removal was contemplated,
or as to those whom Commissioner
Evans intended to put in their
places. An interview which Evans
had with the President last evening
presumably on this subject, is
understood to have been by no
means satisfactory. He at all
evsnts, left the Presidents rom in
quite an excited condition.
Ludlow street Jail.
New YORK, June 81 The Her
aid says: The Grand Jury's re-
port of the condition of Ludlow
street Jail, and the abuses that
have f1ourished there, may well
shock the community. The Jury
finds that the place has been kept
in a most filthy condition !; that
there has been an almost utter lack
of discipline /; That the inmates
have been confined in foul cells,
fed on insufficient and offensive
food, unless they could blackmail
jail-keepers into paying exorbitant
prices for suitable diet that the
traffic in dirk has been system
atlcaly carried on in the Jail /; that
drunkenness has been common
that the sexes have not been prop
erly separated, and that other
abuses h.ve been practiced.

How He Got the Best of the Railroad.

From the Gan Bernardino, (Col.) Index.]
1t is not often that big corporation
like the Southern Pacific Railroad
proves incompetent in contest against
penniless, single handed man, and we
record the following to note the excep-
ton: The Southern Pacific engineer
while securing the country for water on
the desert about twenty-four miles from
the Colorado River, saw few tufts of
grass in little valley. He put work.
men to digging in the ground and de-
veloped about four inches of clear run
ming water, furnishing beautiful sup
ply for all purposes. As the work pro-
crossed they abandoned the spring tenn
porari'y. A prospector came along and
stopped at the spring to drink of the
pure liquid. Perhaps the intensity of
his thirst induced him to gaze longer
into its pure depths. Perhaps, in his
fevered vision, after long struggle over
dreary mountains and dusty deserts. he
saw mirrored in the water sparkling
mine of silver. At any rate he tested
the sand that drifted about and got
trace of silver. This little trace of silver
resolved into 800 ton. Here, then,
was the realization of his hopes, and he
went right to work to rob the big cor
poration. He located the spring for
mill site and the ground as mineral land
all of which is right and holds in law.
He notified the company to quit using
his water, and they have complied ODE.

pounds, less than he has ever WEIGHED

it took forty laps to complete a

miles had been covered, when the dis

with, now feeling unwell, left for twelve
minutes, during which Webb had pulled
up and gained 6 laps. The former,
however, set to work in earnest, and

not until he had been forbidden by two
medical men to re-enter the water that

An Astonishing Phenomenon.

~AoAA WV D~SS0ROAV \ASj O0AossCsJ
The last Of May, 1882, Simon Snyder,
who was working in planning mill at
Portsmouth, Ohio, had his hand so
badly lacerated in the machinery that
amputation was necessary. There is
nothing uncommon about that, but hold
your breath minute. The hand was
buried in Mr.. Snyder's garden. Two
weeks after, upon the mound which the
little 12.year old daughter of the injured
man had made over the severed hand.
grew a small, funeus-like plant, in the
exact shape of human hand. The
Portsmouth, Ohio, Blade, of June 10th.
called attention to the wonder, and cave
a full. description Of it. Hundreds of
citizens visited Mr.. Snyder to see this
queer freak of nature. All were
interested. Those who tried to
understand it were mystifed and
the superstitious were sure that
it. vas some portent of evil. Mr.,
and Mrs. Snyder moved to Conesville,
Louisa County, Iowa, two months ago,
and brought the fingers with them pre-
served in alcohol. Mr. O. E. Harrison,
81 the Brady Street Pharmacy, was at
Conesville last week and brought the
curiosity to Davenport. Mr.. Harrison
tried to prevail upon Mrs. Snyder to give
it to the Academy of Scieuces, but she
has not yet consented.
The fingers are of a dark brown color,
the thumb and fingers approach nearly.
the e1ac: form, and perhaps the queer
est part ,of it8is that the .fore6nger is
shorter than i'll should be- Mr.. Snyder
lost the foreAnger Of that hand two
years before the amputation. The little
finger was broken off by accident and
shows that the inside Of the fingers ID
white. Cases are on record where roots
and vegetable growth have taken the
