Our readers have by this time become
possessed Of the most of the sickening
details of the Newhall house horror at
Milwaukee. It is one of those fearful
affairs which occurs at intervals in the
worlds history, though this is the most
serious disaster of the kind which has
taken place within present recollection. It
is probable that not less than hundred
human beings went down to death in
the burning pile or made their escape
from it to die of their injuries. The
public will shudder over the horror and
exercise caution for time, and then the
lesson will pass from their minds and
sixth story rooms will contain as many
possible victims as before. There was q
general impression among the patrons Of
the Newhall that human life was not
very safe within its apartments. The
rapidity with which the flames made
their way through the building and the
fearful tragedy which followed confirms
the reliability of this impression. Most
large hotels are fire traps, though per
haps the Newhall offered better facilities
for wholesale sacrifice Of human life
than the average furnishes. In the calen
dar of criminal acts there Is none greater
than the construction and maintenance
OF public sleeping establishment con
structed after the plan of the Newhal
and the almost total lack Of facilities fol
leaving the building in the event of 6
confagration. The laws of Wisconsin
contain some provisions relative to th.
protection Of the public against til,
carelessness of hotel keepers, but suct
measures are given little or no attention
There is in that state (or was few year
ago) law compelling landlords to kee]
in each room a rope long enough to reacl
from the room to the ground, but n
landlord ever complied with til
law. Had the Newhall house been thu
Fprovided, the death roll would not be q
large as it is.
The statutes of Dakota contain n
regulations regarding the constructio
of hotels or the introduction of precau
tionary measures for the safety of guest
within hotels. Many extensive publ
houses are now being put up in variou
parts of the territory and others sti
more extensive will be erected With
the next two years. The calamity {
Milwaukee induces the suggestion tbs
some legislation on this subject woul
not be out OF place.

There Is a rumor current tonight to the effect
that one OF the star route DEFENDANTS has turned
states evidence, or has indicated a Willingness to
DO so, and that la consequence the tIial is likely
70 terminate most disasI rouSIy for all the rest.
~ IS said that government counsel have pushed
tneSe cases TO the point where this one man finds
himself In hole; that In IT or desperation he
mas concluded TO make a cleaE breast or Il and
throw himself upon the mercy of the government
Ihis man Is believed TO be either Brady Dorsey.
Tne former has been very much abused by the
Otner DEFENDANTS, who have sought to make q
Scapegoat OF him. 1t would not be strange II he
snooid turn upon them, and tell what he knows
ABOUT the great star route ring. Dorsey has al
ready threatened here tn make certain disclosures
Wncn Will crfminate others tn those now under
Indictment, but he has not, so far Is known to
the public, shown any Inclination to turn states
evidence. 1t IS said in connection with this ru-
NOR tonight that there viii be no halting on the
part OF the prosecution even should the alleged
confession be made, but that the chain OF evil
dence VIII De completed to establish the fact OF
consriricy.-Fdsh. Specfuf in Phitd Times.
While nothing IS known here confirming the
above report 1t Is certain that the route gang
are badly demoralzed by the strength OF the
chain OF evidence brought out against them at the
present trial, and like cornered rats are ready to
make desperate break In any direction that Will
save them from punishment Still, 1t is hardly
probable that any of the leading conspirators are
prepared to turn states evidence just yet as they
would be uncertain whether at this advanced
stage or the proceedings they could escape pun
ishment by this course.

Some European sand.Dunes.

A correspondent of knowledge
gives these particulars respecting va.
rious sand-dunes in Europe: Sand
dunes travel in the direction of the
prevalent wind. They continue to
advance inland and overwhelm every
thing on their march, even streams
failing to arrest their progress. The
mouth of the river Adour, on the
west coast Of France, has been shifted
two and a half miles from its original
position by encroaching sand dunes.
Along the French coast, where they
extend for miles, they average from
fifty to sixty feet in height, while on
the coast OF Holland they have been
met with as high as 260 feet. On the
shores OF the Bay Of Biscay they travel
inland at the rate of about sixteen
feet a year, while in some parts OF
Denmark the rate of eneroachment
reaches twenty,four feet in the same
time. The advance of these dunes
has been very much checked within
the last few years by their having
been planted with the cluster pine.
sand MARIAN (Arundo arenaria), etc
These plants bind the sand and form
a covering and a network of rootlets.
Before these precautions we're taken.
houses, fields and even whole parishes
were buried beneath the sand. DC.
casionally these planted dunes become
covered, the vegetation then decom,
poses, and forms a layer of peaty
matter.
In Cornwall, the West Indies and
other places where the sand is cal
careous, or formed Of comminuted
shells, etc., it is compacted into a
hard stone by the action of rain
water percolating, dissOlving the car
Donate Of lime, and rearranging it as
a cement; this rock is common in the
Bahamas and Bermudas, where il
weathers into caves and picturesque
erags. In Cornwall the hardest grams
lite may be seen polished and worn
into burrows where blown sand has
come in contact with it, and the
Egyptian monuments exposed to the
sand drifting from the Libyan desert
present similar polished appear
ance. Advantage is taken of the
polished or wearing property Of blown
sand, as in the case Of the artificial
sand blast used for engraving glass
or cleaning files, etc. There are
musical" sands on the coast Of
Skye; as one walks over them they
give out a musical note, probably due
to the sand grains being of equal
size.
