The Great Inter-ocean Show Little
 Rock, December q.


 Rock. December !.
 The second circus of the season came to town this morning, and judging from the display of the street parade 1t Is likely to afford amusement and satisfaction to large patronage. The streets were early thronged with sight-seers, and the procession excited universal favorable comment. The open cages, with their captive animals, was of course the grea, objects of attraction, and the display in that line was much greater than ever be. fore seen in Lowell ; the cars were Attract lively painted with historical pictures, and mounted with banners and pennants in gay colors. Grotesque figures were nu- merous and productive of much laughter. Zazels cannon, from which she is shot into the air, was viewed with interest, as also were the elephants and camels which plodded along so quietly. The cavalcade of riders in rich costumes were followed by Kris kringle in a golden chariot, and thrilling notes of the steam ealliope con- cluded the show. There were two bands in the line, and there was an air of re- spectability pervadlng the whole process sion that Is seldom seen on such occa- sions. This afternoon. the large tent on the fair grounds Is crowded with a de- lighted audience. The attractions include Zazei, in her flights through the air, Millie Tournoun, the orial queen, Johnny Pat terson, the Irish clown, and Prince Sat urni, the Japanese balancer The show being hrst-class throughout, and one worthy of the patronage oi our amuse- men,-loving citizens, we predic, big house tonight -Lo7eci1 .Hfss.)

A FOOLISH EXPERIMENT.
A Terrible Explosion the Result OF u
WOrkman's Curiosity.

MlLTOS, Pa, February ll.-An explosion
occurred yesterday evening at Slifer's Cut,
on the ShamOkin, Spnbury aud Lewisburg
new branch of the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad, three miles south of West
was one OF the most terrific e, ,er known in
that section, shaking Windows in Milton
and surrounding towns for miles around.
The new branch has been in course OF con-
struCtiOD for the past year, under COntrac
tors Reilly and Nolan, who had erected at
Slifer's Cut frame building containing q
large quantity of dynamite, which was
frequently visited by gangs OF worSmen
during the day for the purpose of getting
powder and warming themselves.
Between II and o'clock Polish labor
er, after eating dinner, went into the pow
der house and was anxious to see how the
fuse burned. He took up one of the long
dynamite rods, with fuse attached, AMI put
il into the stove. Ii soon iguited and set
ire TO the building. The Polander became
excited and ran of, forgetting 10 warn Ja-
cob Hempheld, who was in another part OF
the building. Five minutes later the eX-
plOsion occurred, blowing up the earth for
a considerable distance and completely de-
molished the building. The workmen in
tha vicinity soon gathered around the
spot where the powder house lately stood,
and began to search for the body Of Hemp
field. His dead and marged body was
found several hundred yards distant. He
was 90 years of age and leaves a wife and
six children in destitute circumstances at
Lewis6uTg.

THE NEXT HOUSE.
SpecuIatIonS md Gossip Regarding Its
Organization.

WASHINGTON, February ll.-Congressman
Clark, of Missouri, who has many friends
here, continues firm in the belief that he is
the coming man for Clerk of the next
House. In a conversation recently be said
he had canvassed the situation pretty
closely, and was very much encouraged.
Clark's friends all hope that he will win
the race, but il is justas we'll to be frank in
regard to the matter and say that the pros
poets of any candidate outside the Randall
combination are not brilliant. RandalPs
organization OF his campaign is superb.
His candidate for Clerk of the House is
Atkins, who commands the respect OF
every man in the House, and controls
large vote in the south. He has been a
long tine promin ent in Congress, was
Chairman Of the Appropriations Commit
tee i'll the Forty sixth Congress, is an &C.
tive member Of the committee now, and
there is no doubt that he would make a
very efficient clerk, and, more than that,
that he would control a very large vote.
ThompSon-JOhn G.-has the regard of
nearly every man on the Democratic side
OF the House, no matter what is said to
the contrary, and though Leedom has
many warm friends and supporters, there
is little doubt but that ThompSon's pole
will knock the persimmons when they are
ripe, unless the situation changes.
Regarding the SpeakerShip, there is no
doubt that Randall's organization IS
superior to that Of his opponents and With
the fight between Blackburn and Carlisle
weakening the forces Of those opposing
him, the claims of his friends that he is
practically sure of election, though rather
wild, are not more so than the assertion
that other candidates have prospects as
good as those Of Randall.

BLAINE AND ARTHUR.
The President and the EX-Secretary or
State Close Friends.

WASHINGTON, February 11.-There has
been a good deal of quiet gossip INDUCED
in over the fact that President Arthur was
a specially honored guest at the marriage
of The daughter of eX.Secretary Blaine, anl
the additional fact that Mr.. Blaine was q
few hours later an honored guest al the re-
ception at the White House. Another Gu
rious incident in this connection is that
Walker Blaine, son of James G, took din
ner at the Presidents last Sunday evening
At least q caller at Mr.. Blaine's residence
on Sunday evening, on Inquiring for Mr..
Walker Blaine, was informed that he was
ut the Presidents dinner. Does it mean
that Blaine and Arthur have buried the
hatchet? There is variety Of opinion on
this subject.
A we'll informed gentleman here, who
by the way, is closely allied with one Of
Mr.. Blaine's warm friends and supporters
said frankly in speaking OF this subject re-
Gently, that he believed it TO be simply a
part Of Blaines way Of making all he can
out OF everything that comes 10 his hand.
"Blsine is shrewd enough" he said, "to
see that there is no use in his trying to
make anything for himself out of this ai-
ministration, except by indirectiOn, and he
is using it for all il is worth in the way of
getting fsvors for his friends. hear that
he gets nearly everything he asks for. too."
AT least Mr.. Blaine's happy faculty Of
making the best of everything that comes
to his hand has served him to good pur.
pose in accumulating fortune. His resi-
dence is certainly magnificent, and the as.
serlion that it is the handsomest in the
city, which does not do injustice TO facts,
means great deal, for there certainly are
some very handsome houses here, and
some that have cost an immense sum of
money. Speaking, too, OF the Blaine home,
it may not be improper to remark that the
stories sent out from here that the mar,
riage OF Miss Blaine to a gentleman more
than doub!e her own age was opposed by

WASHINGTON, February 11.-For some
time the Republican members Of the
House have had in contemplation the
forcing through Of a resolution providing
for a radical change in the rules governing
that body, to the end that the Democratic
minority might be virtually debarred from
any participation in the discussion of pend
ing measures and place them completely
in the power Of the majority. In accord
ance with this determination, Mr.. Rasson,
on Friday, introduced a resolution provid-
ing that bills may be reported from
committees at any time and put on
their passage without discussion, and
the Committee on Rules will tomorrow en-
deavor to secure its adoption. Should this
be done, it will be possible, under the oper-
alton of the previous question, to rush
through any measure whatever without at
all consulting the Democratic members.
This means that the Republicans are get
ting desperate, and propose to try to pass
tariff biz, and perhaps appropriation bills,
by gag law. The change of rules will not be
adopted without bitter fight; but If II
should be, the Republicans cannot feel as
sured that the bill will pass. The pro-
posed measure is virtual confession OF
mismanagement and insinCerity, and is one
that is never resOrted to except in extreme

Fire Escapes Ordered.

BUrrALo, n. Y, Feb rusry 1.-THE fire
commission have profited by the lessons
of the Newhall house disaster, and to day
issued circular to all hotel keepers noti-
flying them that they are to place fire es.
capes upon their buildings; consisting Of
balconies constructed on a level with each
floor in the building from the second to
the top story. in such form that they may
be reached from any room in the honse by
opening window. and connected by sin
gle ladders extending from the lower bal
Cony TO and over and onto the roof The
failure to comply will incur penalty of a
fine of $50 to 800 for every thirty days for
the non.iu!tiIment OF the requirements.
The commissioners issued the circular in
consequence OF the dissatisfaction with the
present fire escapes of local hotels.
