FOUR LUCKY BOYS.
They Find Giant Powder Cartridge,
Squat Over it, and Fire it on.


A cartridge of giant powder was the
Sunday plaything of four little boys i'm
West Fifty-eighth street yesterday after
noon. The boys are children of coach
men. They had been playing in vacant
lot near Broadway, which is owned by the
city, and where Contractor Sheridan is
blasting out an excavation for the fOun-
datiOn Of an engine house. Young TylOn
found bologna" or long narrow roll of
the explosive, which had been carelessly
left out by the workmen on Saturday
night.
The children were highly delighted.
They knew the nature of their prize, but,
of course, had no conception of its dam
gerOus power. A piece of wire, such as
is used in exploding the charges by cleo
tricity, was also found by one of them,
and they repaired to an unfinished build
ing across the street, where they would
be secure from observation. 1t is three
story brick building, without any cellar
or flooring on the first story. The doors
and windows are not yet in place.
The Youngsters prepared blast on the
ground within the walls. They tore hole
i'm the cartridge and inserted one end of
the wire. Then all four children stopped
Orer the plaything while one of them APP
piled a match to the loose powder at the
torn place. Luckily the cartridge was a
good deal torn, and good deal of the
powder was loose. The explosion did not
knock the walls down, but scattered the
infant dynamiters In four directions. BY
great good luck none was killed. Ones
skull was fractured, but it IS thought that
be will recover. Two boys were hurt
about the eyes and head, and one about
the legs.
The explosion created great excitement
in the neighborhood. 1t was about D

speedily taken care of.

SKELETON HANGING TO A TREE
Discovery Which May Solve the Mysteri-
Gus Disappearance of Cadet BeIden.

Discovery W men Way SOlNe the Nhysber1s
Gus Disappearance of Cadet BeIden.
Dayson Special to PhiladelpAja Press. sIst.
The friends and relatives Of Cadet Bel
den, of this city, who mysteriOusly disap-
peared while at San Francisco last May,
had their worst fears confirmed recently
by some news received from detective
agency concerning the skeleton of a man
found at San Rafael. 1t seems that a
sportsman while hunting shot quail,
which fell i'm thicket of bushes. Seeking
his game he discovered a figure, as he
thought, reaching to pick it up.
To his horror, on close inspection, he
found it to be a skeleton partly clothed,
and with some remains OF decomposed
flesh on its bones. 1t at once occurred to
him that 1t might be the lost Belden. A
rope from the neck to the branch of a
tree indicated suicide or lynching for a
real or alleged crime. No letters or Jew
eIrv were to be found. Minute descrip-
tions were sent to Belden's friends, and
one of them went to examine the remains,
but was unable to fully identify them as
Belden's.
III this skeleton is not that of Belden it
develops a clue to another mystery. The
clothing found is that of young man IN
fair circumstances and from the East.
His Derby hat was made in Paris and
sold nv local tradesman at New Haven,
Conn. 1t is coDjectured on this hypothe-
sis that a young man, probably student
from Yale COLLEGE. had been prospecting
on the Pacific coast for a location, and be-
coming discouraged and out of funds had
departed from the usual highways and
committed suicide in that lonely place.
An Administrator has been appointed on
Belden's estate, but there are few who
cling to the hope that he is yet alive.

The New Hotel.

The following letter from gentleman
in Chicago was lately received by one Of
our prominent citizens:
my DEAR SIR: learn that an effort
is being made by yourself and others to
secure for Savannah first-class hotel.
success in this effort would greatly please
MANY Northern people who are partial to
Savannah as winter resort. and would
add TO your material interests, | am sure.
The lack of satisfactory hotel accOmmO-
datiOn has for a long time shortened the
stay of visitors or driven them further
South. Wishing YOU success, l am yours
truly, ."
One of the committees on subscriptions
10 the hotel project is at work. and it is
hoped that a sufficient amount will be
subscribed before the sale of the Barracks
to warrant the committee in purchasing
that site. The possession of that pro-
perty will be an important step towards
a new hotel, but 1t will be only the first
step.
Every business man and property owner
or capitalist in our city who will give the
subject serious thought will see that it
Will be to his advantage to help this en-
terprises because it willincrease his bust
ness, increase the value of real estate,
and increase the demand for money.
There was never more favorable Op-
pOrtunity for concentrating the long de-
sired wish for a new, large and attractive
hotel, which would be an ornament to the
city and pride to every one who calls
Savannah his home. The MORNING News
has advocated the project for years, and
will continue To do SO until the hotel is
built 1t believes that there never was a
time when it could have been done with
less difficulty than now. We have num-
bers of citizens who can contribute lib
orally to the project without missing the
sum which they subscribe. The MORN
ING News was on the list of subscribers
made up last spring, and is on the present
list. Let every business house i'm the city
see to it that it Is on the list for liberal
subscription. and there Will be no qUes-
ton about raising the necessary amount.
our people have guarantee from Mr..
Clair that 100000 hotel will be leased
by him at a rental of per cent. per an
mum on the investment. That is a good
offer. but even if there is not a dollar
paid in rents, the 500 loss on every $1,000
subscribed will be returned three times

The greatest difficulty that we experience
in New York is that of getting boys who
have brains and are willing to learn a

who have made millions in few years Is
held up before our boys in school, and the
BOYS become infIamed with the notion that
they must make their millions and be able

die. So they eschew trades and become

The Rrnrtnn Endemic.

In our loesI columns this morning
there is an interesting interview with
Dr.. George II. Stone, who was Que Of the
experts appointed by SUrgeon-General
Hamilton to investigate the character
and origin Of the disease prevailing at
Brewton, Alabama. The conclusion
reached by the experts, as
stated in our dispatches several
DAYS ago. is that the disease Is yellow
fever Of a malignant type. Having satls-
fed themselves about the nature OF the
disease the experts sought for its origin.
Rrewton has the reputation of being a
remarkably healthy village, and its
location is such as to preclude
the idea that the fever origi-
mated there. 1t was discovered that
"A BrewtOn physician named Rankin
visited Pensacola, and, il Is asserted, the
Pensacola navy yard, in the early part OF
September, about the time that the yellow
fever was prevailing there. On the 18th
Of September. soon after his return TO
Brewton. be was attacked by the fever,
and died inside of six days. There were
five persons living in the house in which
he died. and within fifteen days four OF
them were dead. They were victims OF
the fever which killed the doctor. The
disease spread. and is still spreading.
Quite "A number have died. and it Is
pretty certain that more will die
before the epidemic ends. Do
not the facts discovered at
Brewton show that the only sure protec-
So, ..-,;,,=t ,.,t1r.,- f,,-o- =. ,ttaran tiup :
Pensacola has had no fever this year be-
cause il maintained a strict quarantine
against the navy yard and the navy yard
reservation where the fever was. If the
BrewtOn physician had kept away from
the navy yard there would have been no
fever al BrewtOn. There are those who
maintain that yellow fever originates in
the South Atlantic and Gulf towns. but
their number Is yearly decreasing. New
Orleans used to have yellow fever every
summer until a sensible quarantine was
established. II is true there was a
sort of quarantine in 1873, the
year of the great epidemic, but 1t was not
an effective quarantine. 1t is admitted
now that the fever was brought to the
city that year. early in May, by the
/ steamer SOuder. IL used TO be said. and Il
/ a limited extent Is said yet, in the North,
/ that the reason there was no yellow
/ fever in New Orleans while tie Federals
occupied it during the war was because
| they kept il clean. The true reason was
! that there was no commerce., and, cOnse-
/ quently, no vessels brought the fever from
/ infected ports. There was some fever on
the ships IN the river, but care was taken
to keep it out of the city. Cleanliness and
\ good sanitary regulations may prevent an
/ epidemic when the fever secures lOdg-
ment, but experience shows that it is
safer 90 rely upon strict quarantine than
/ anything else.

The public laws. enacted at the last
session of the Legislature, have Just been
published in pamphlet form. II will be
well for grOcers, hotel and restaurant
keepers TO notice that among these laws
there Is one relating to OleomaTgaTine.
The act provides that manufacturers and
dealers in oleOmargarine in this State
must brand it 50 that purchasers may
know what ii is. The act also provides
that hotel and restaurant keepers, when
they furnish their guests with OleOmaT-
garine instead of butter, must post con-
spicuous notices in their dining-rOOms
and in the rooms of their guests, annOunc-
ing the fact. The penalty tor a failure to
eompIv with the law is fine of not more
than 81. 600, OF not more than six months
Imprisonment in the county Jail, or not
more than twelve months in the chain
vang. Rather than have such notice
posted the majority Of hotel and restau-
rant keepers would prefer to keep oleo-
MARGARINE Of their tables, or run the risk
Of being prosecuted for violating the law.

Looking Toward Blaine

1t has been evident to close observers
for some time that the current of Repub-
lean thought has been setting strongly in
favor of Mr.. Blaine as the most available
candidate for 1884. provided he could Sc
cure the nomination without such a strug-
Gle as would leave factiOus bitterness be-
hind il. If his opponents who caused his
defeat in 1876 and 1880, when he was con-
fessedly the popular choice, have honestly
reached the conclusion now attributed to
them, and will no longer resist popular
will, no true friend Of Mr.. Blaine or of
Republican unity will object to a states
man of Mr.. COnkling's acknowledged
ability being given an opportunity to re-
trieve his lost prestige by going back 10
