Row at the Denver Exposition.

Denver Tribune, Aug. IT: A good deal of excitement prevailed yester. day at the exposition grounds over the announcement that Arizona and Montana had withdrawn from the exhibition and that their exhibits were being shipped to Cincinnati.
 The commissioners met. There were eleven present, including the gentlemen representing the two before mentioned Territories. A bombshell fell among the members when Commissioner Read of Mon tana, and Commissioners Grey and Frank c. Murphy of Arizona, arose and announced their intention to immediately break up their exhibits and withdraw from the exposition Hardly had the confusion that this caused subsided before Commission CT Mahon, of Pueblo, was on his feet denouncing the withdrawal of these two Territories, declaring such a step unwise, as we'll as illegal; that the Commissioners had been appoint ed by the Governors of these Terri tories, ard were, consequently, not supposed to be controlled by person al motives. He introduced resolu- tion lnstl ucting the management to use legal means to compel the two Commissioners to remain with the exhibits at the Exposition. The resolution was lost by one vote, the ballot standing six to five.
 Having by this vote received a recognition of the tenabllity of their position the disaffected members then and there declared they were going and would begin boxing their exhibits that day.

Austin F. Pike is the new Senator from New Hampshire. He is 63 years old, lawyer ln active practice, has been Representative ir Congress, Snd is considered one Of the ablest men in the state. These are the kind of men we like to gee elected to the United State Senate, and not men whose sole qualification for such an honorable office lies in the money they have made in few lucky stock deals, generally at the expense of hundreds of others better able to fill the position with credit to them selves and honor to the State. It is time that something else besides money should be considered in elect ing U. $. Senators.

"An ounce of prevention Is worth 8 pound of cure" is an old and trite adage, from which we draw the con clusion that 1t is cheaper to patent your claims at small expense now than to defend a hlacknriiiug sutt at ten times the cost in future years. A mine protected by a U. s. patent will sell readily where an unpatented mine would not be looked at. People who buy mines nowadays don't want to buy any lawsuits with them.

MOST TRAGIC OF TRAGEDIES.
Dreadful Scene Enacted In u Bridal
Chamber in South America.
NOHteritieO RdzOn .


A horrible affair took place recently at Ric
Grande del Sur, near the Uruguayan from
tier. A young farmer was bitten by mad
dog, and remedies were Immediately ap.
piled to the wound. Cauterization was re
sorted to, aud there was every reason to be
lieve that the virus hal not entered the vic
TINS system. When the accident occurred
the young man was about to marry, but In
consequence of the untoward occurrence the
ceremony was postponed for three months
when the medical men who were consulted
on the case gave it as their unanimous opin-
ion that there was not the slightest ground
for apprehending any danger from the bite.
The marriage took place on the farm and
was celebrated with the customary festivities.
After the nuptial supper was over the BRIDE
groom appeared to be seized with aft of mel
ancholy. One Of loves caprices, said some
body. After supper came the ball, and when
this was at its height the newly welded
couple withdrew from the festive scene and
retired to their apartment.
About an hour afterward the house re-
sounded with ferocious cries intermingled
with shrieks and groans. As soon Is the
guests had recovered from stupefactiop, they
started in the direction of the cries. They
proceeded from the nuptial chamber. The
door was burst open and horrible spectacle
presented ITSELF On the floor lay the young
bride in pool Of blood. She still breathed,
but her body was torn and bitten as II she
had been seized by Tiger. In corner Of
The room was the bridegroom, covered with
blood aud foaming at the mouth, scratching,
biting and tearing away a. the wall and fur
niture. With sudden bound he sprang like
Q tiger upon the invaders Of his lair, and he
would have made one or more victims had
not brother of the dying bride sent bull
let crashing through the mad mans brain.

HOW TACKS ARE MADE.

Mechanical ERnineer

The iron is received from the rolling mills
IN sheets from three inches to twelve inches
wide, and from three feet to nine feet In
length, the thickness varying according to
the kind Of work into which 1t Is to be made
from one.eighth to one-thrty second of an
inch. These sheets are all cut In about 30

ponding with the length of the nail required.
Supposing the tack to be cut Is an eight.
ounce carpet tack, the strip of iron, as ready
for the machine, would be about II. 1Gths OF
an inch wide and thirty inches long. This
piece is placed firmly In the feeding sppara.
tus. and by this arrangement carried between
the knives Of the machine.
At each revolution Of the balance wieel
the knives cut off small piece from the end
of this plate. The piece cut of is pointed at
the end at one end, and square for forming
the head at the other. 1t Is then carried be
tween two dies by the action of the knives,
and these dies, coming together, form the
body of the tack under the head. Enough
OF the iron projects beyond the face Of the
dies to form the head Of the tack. and while
held firmly by them, lever strikes this pro.
jecting piece into round head. This. as
We have said before, is all done during one
revolution Of the wheel, aud the knives, as
soon as the tack drops from the machines,
are ready to cut off another piece.
These machines are run at the rate of
about 250 revolutions per minute. The
shoe nail machines for cutting headless
shoe nails are run at about 500 revolutions
per minute, and cut from three to five nails
a. each revolution.

THE LEAP OF A LOCOMOTIVE.
A North Carolina Engineer Drives His Iron
Horse Over a Chasm.
HckorU Press.


At six O'Clock Monday morning Engineer
Jack Edwards aud Conductor Maloney left
Hickory with fifteen freight cars for Sails
bury, and entertained less fear perhaps as to
the condition of the road.bed than any other
crew on the road, but when about five miles
east of Hickory they realized the situation
better. The fill near Mr.. Lafayette Miiler's
had washed out, leaving . hole about ten
feet deep and eighteen feet wide across the
fill, and nothing but the iron and cross-ties
swinging over the hole. A gentleman
knowing that the freight train would be
along early in the morning very thoughtfully
started up the road TO wave IL down, but he
had gone but . short distance when he met
the train, but Ii being down grade IL was i'm
possible 10 stop 1t In time; so In few mo-
ments Mr.. Edwards, on No. Is, "a 45-ton en-
gine) was within few feet Of the break with
no earthly power to stop the train. As
last resort he threw the throttle wide open,
which gave II such sudden impetus forward
that IL broke loose from the train and went
across the chasm with almost the velocity of
bullet. The box cars, one after another,
followed, and tumbled In ) confused mass
Into the ravine and ON eitherside ofthe track
and making a complete wreck Of ten cars.
Fortunately, the train being long, the rear
cars were stopped before they were thrown
from the track.

SHOES OF ALL AGES.
NJ. Jacquemard's Historical Collection Pre-
sentsd to the CIuny Museum.
Poll MnlL Enzetke


A singular addition has just been made TO
the Cluny Museum. It was the curious
passion Of the great engraver Jacquemard to
collect the boots and shoes of all times and
countries, and in gratifying this special taste
he was ut once both connoisseur and artist.
lie knew the actual value of these curlosi-
ties, aud he also knew how useful they
would be to artists whose subjects were
taken from earlier periods In history. When
man has perfected his collection but two
courses are open to hlm-lo break u up or to
leave it to the nation. Jules Jacquernard did
the latter, and the gallery Just opened In the
Cluny Museum Is without rival In Its COM
pieteness and It's interest. The heavy top
boots and leggings of the warriors Of the
middle ages are here, evidencing that "abun-
dance Of grease and absence Of Day Il Mar
tin" which Carlyle so insisted on as charac-
teristic of Frederick the Greats war costume.
Other cases are full Of the little slippers and
high heeled shoes Of the beauties Of the
eighteenth century. From this collection II
would seem that The ladies' boot as !, was
worn few years ago, buttoned up some
inches above the ankle, aud in effect acting
as kind Of bandage round tho lower part
of the leg, was not very popular, and that
whether from motives of vanity or hygiene
the district round the ankle was allowed the
advantage Of free circulation. We have lat
terly reverted to this excellent fashion, but
II some collectors were in hundred years
10 present our South Kensington Museum
with collection of English shoes of the
ninete enth century, 1t would be found that
heels are still in antagonism to health as
they were in the eighteenth.

tory, who was sent by the Government to
witness the transit of Venus, described bis
journey to Chilli to a Washington audience
the other night, and In speaking of the arid
ity of the western coast of South America,
the Professor said that In one place In
Peru II rained about once IN ten years.
An Erglishman had constructed there an
apparatus for distilling rain water, to avoid
The necessity Of Transporting 1t for miles on
the backs Of mules. This mans income is
now 70 600 per month. Attached 10 his dis
tiliiug tank are q number Of troughs, which
are enclosed BY fence. This Is an animal
drinking saloon, and here, for ten cents, the
horses, mules, etc, are admitted and can
drink their liil. The Professor observed that
even about this saloon hummeIs and tramps
lay in wait. Sometimes mule would wait
around the corner until Tie gate happened TO
be left open. Then he would bolt In and
steal = drink. Like his human prototype,
he would be driven out With curses and
blows.
