cent mysterious appearance of the sky
II sunset and before sunrise, in which
ihe opinion of various world renown-

in which the theory of AN impending
disaster is worked up by reference
first to II certain Professor drummer
prophecies, wherein strange and dire
Gul phenomena were foretold for the
years 1881 TO 1887. occasioned by the
co-incident passage of five great
planets around the sun; substantiated
in part 10y the direful work of the ele-
uenis in the last two years by

live OF still more fearful calamities in
store for the next four years, during
which the air and water, the elements

that epidemics shall sweep the face of
the earth. and that all living things
shall suffer almost humiliation.
After about a column { this sort of
ghostly warning, u re-assurring hope
is held out, in the statement that only
the weak, In constitution and the ell
ieebled in blood are in the pathway Of
these great dangers; that the strong
and healthy will survive the period of
disaster and owing TO the vastly inn
proved condition of the elements after
this period of scourging, enjoy much
healthier and prolonged existence.

watch Making In Switzerland.

of the watches which bear the name OF

Geneva was seriously depressed, owing
to the active competition of the cheap,

But since that time it has regaiued ito

Destruction by Fire of the saxonville (sfsss.)
Blanket Mnnufa ctories-Loss Nearly Haif
Million Dollars.
FRAM1NaHAM. MASS, Nov. %.


Blanket Observation-Disclosures Nearly HALF
a Million Dollars.
FRAMlNGHAM, MASS, Nov. %.
Fire broke out at 1880 this morning in
the immense buildings known as the Sax
onville blanket factories, at Saxonville,
and at three o'clock five of the nine large
factories were a mass of smoking ruins,
and the only industry Of the town wiped
out for the time being. The town is shame
fully negligent in the matter of fire de-
partment, having only three hand engines,
two of them being located three miles from
the factories. When these arrived the
flames were beyond control, and all the
firemen could do was to save the buildings
not already in flames. Assistance was
called from Natick, Ashland and Cochit-
uate, and steamers were sent from those
towns, but were of little avail.
Three of the burned buildings were OF
brick, five and six stories, and two OF
wood, two stories each. No. 5, the last one
to go, was a new building containing no
machinery, but filed with goods, portion
of which were saved by great efforts of the
firemen first on the ground. The two store
houses, containing thousands of finished
blankets, were saved, also the boiler-house,
located at some distance from the mills also
the Lighthouses. The latter, however, were
CONSIDERABLY damaged. Inc uTeHlen were
exposed to great danger from constantly
exploding naphtha and other chemicals,
that created intense heat, and also from
the falling walls. At ore time the company
were obliged to drop the pipes and run for
their lives 10 escape burial beneath falling
bricks. The excitement in the village was
intense. A general oonfagration was ex-
pected, owing to the showers of falling
sparks, which fell upon the roofs of the en-
ployes' houses, constantly igniting them
and requiring constant work with pals.
Many people removed their goods from
their houses, thinking the entire village
would be swept away.
The mills were owned by M. II. Simpson
& Co., of Boston. No accurate estimate of
the loss can be made tonight, as it is UNI
known how much finished goods were de-
stroyed and how much the machinery was
worth. The loss on buildings along is esti-
mated at S135, 000 and the total loss is esti-
mated at from 5000, 900 to SOC, 600, and may
exceed that figure. Four hundred en-
ployes are thrown out of work. The mills
supplied thousands of tons of blankets to
the army and navy during the war, and as
the business is very profitable they will,
doubtless, be rebuilt The same firm con-
trolls the Roxbury Carpet Company, one of
the largest concerns in the State.

Yes, Rupert was in pain. He closed

against Louis shoulder till the first

slowly to hobble on. Margaret felt her

asked for her arm too, saying, as he

"Why, when have q few hours of

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
A Car Containing sixty-five Persons Hurled
Over an Embankment-Al of them In
jured, but None Killed-Fears that Some
May Die, However.

May Die, However.
WORCESTER, MASS, Nov. %.
The rear car of a crowded passenger
train on the Boston, Barre and Gardner
Railroad was thrown from the track just as
the train was drawing away from North
Worcester Station, at 2: 10 this afternoon,
and hurled with terrific force down a steep,
embankment, fully twenty-five feet high.
They were sixty-five passengers in the car,
and not one of them escaped injury. The
car turned wholly over once and then half
over again in its descent, aud finally rested
on its side at an angle of forty five degrees.
1t was badly broken up in the fall. The
seats were all wrenched from their places
and thrown in heap, and the passengers
were mixed up with the broken iron and
timber in almost inextricable confusion.
The woodwork Of the car caught fire from
the stove in the forward part, and the hor-
ror of being burned to death confronted the
wounded passengers. But assistance was
prompt, and the flames were speedily ex-'
tinguished.
Some few of the passengers extricated
themselves from the wreck, and with the
occupants Of the other two cars, which re-
manned on the track, set to work
and helped their suffering companions.
The anguished cries of bruised and bleed
ing men, women and children made the
scene a terrible one. Tenderly and care
fully the injured ones were taken out and
laid on the grass by the side OF the track.
1t was found that by q miracle none were
killed, but several were apparently dying.
Physicians were summoned from Worcss-'
cester, and Doctors Bates, Marble, Davis,
r. Woodward, Jacques, Wood, Swartward,
Adams and Warren were soon on the spot.
From then II dark all worked unremit-
tingly in care for the wounded. Some
were removed to height oring houses, and
others were brought 60 Worcester in hacks
and the police ambulances. The most seri-
ously injured were taken to the City Hos
pital. OF the sixty-6v persons in the car
allswere more or less bruised; thirty were
seriously injured and six were so badly
hurt that they are not expected to live.

NEW York. Nov 20.
Fire broke out in the Windsor Theater,
No. As Bowery, shortly before twelve
o'clock tonight. The flames spread rap
idly. In few minutes after the alarm
sounded the whole structure was a mass of
flames. All efforts of the Fire Department.
were unavailing to check the conhagration,
and the building was totally destroyed.
The flames communicated to several adj
joining buildings. The fire originated be-
tween the first floor and basement, under
the main stairway, and was discovered by
the policeman at that post. Besides the
theater, the building contained two small
no els, kept by Hartman und Loehl, and
situated on either side of the main entrance
to the theater. There were forty guests in
Hartman's hotel and a smaller number in
Loehl's, all of whom escaped without diff
Guilty. There was no one in the theater at
the time, the performance having closed at
l0:45, nor were there any remaining at the
ITALIA Theater, situated directly opposite
the Windsor, on the bowery. The whole Fire
Department OF the district was summoned
by general alarm, but the efforts Of the
firemen were greatly impeded by the pecu-
liar structure Of the building and by the ell
evated railroad structure, which passed in
front of the theater. Trains, however, were
finally stopped, and the firemen were able
TO work more effectively by taking the
hose to the top OF the structure. The fire
had gained such Roadway by this time that
it was seen to be useless to attempt to save
the building, and they turned their attention
to the surrounding buildings. The theater
building was owned by VIM. A. Martin, 10
East Tnirty-eighth street, and was valued
Ut $4,000.

UNIQUE BILLIARD TABLES.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.'s, and Baron de
Rothschiid's Costly Designs.

One evidence OF growing fondncss Tor
the game Of billiards is tho fact that. in build
ing modern costly mansions. architects are
called upon todevote nearly as much attention
to the billiard room as thoy do to the drawing
room. With finer rooms came desire for
richer and more elaborate tables than those in
use in ordinary billiard saloons. In compi-
ance with this desire. the services OF the most
artistic and skilful designers and carvers are
now employed in producing tables that match
in beauty and color the rich surroundings OF
which they are the central figures.
Two specially designed tables for private use
are now being made by the Collender Company
which will exceed in cost and artistic work any
heretofore manufactured. One is intended for
the new residence OF Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt.

A Privilege Apparently Not Wanted.

A quarter OF century ago people gener-
ally assumed that male advocate Of woman
suffrage was either n long-haircd and Wild
eyed type OF social agitator or pestilent
radical with sncaking free-love purpose,
and no regard whatever for what was most
sacred in tho homo and in religion, or most
venerated by the decent and respectable. At
best no was sure to be an abolitionist,
name by which few men in those days liked
to be called in this free republic.
The advocate Of woman's suffrage gen.
Grafton ago, In fine, was popularity pictured
as social and political nondescrlpt, BRAN
bread philosopher, raging infldel. whose
fit and chosen associates among women
were only short-haired members OF the
sisterhood In Bloomer costume who shrieked
from platforms while their husbands were al
homo looking after the babies and sweeping
out the house.
What a change has taken place since then!
On Monday the Senate at Albany seriously
discussed a proposed womans suffrage
amendment to the State Constitution. intro
duced by Democratic Senator, Mr.. A.
LANSING. Tho chief argument In favor Of
tho proposition was made by Senator HOMER
A. NELSON, another Democrat. Woman
suffrage. said Senator NELSON, would intro
duce an element OF order, decorum, and re-
spectability into politics and popular cleo
tions that they do not now possess. That
was about what the woman suffraglsts OF a
generation ago used to say amid tho jeers OF
audiences. even If they did not get response
In tho way OF rotten eggs.
Woman suffrage has therefore at last
gained the dignity OF reasonable and respect
full consideration, and politicians begin to
reflect whether they cannot turn 1t to their
advantage. Public opinion regarding 1t, too,
has so far advanced or changed that legis-
lator Is no longer ashamed to be known as
its advocate, even II he has had reputation
for conservatism.
But the progress OF feminine interest In
the question cannot DO said to BIO encour-
aging to the woman suffragists. 1t is mani
fest that nine women out OF ton, nay, ninety
nine out OF q hundred, do not care to vote.
They do not ask for the privilege 1t must
DO thrust on them, il 1t Is granted at all.
Even whore they have been allowed to vote
for school officers, for instance, they have
generally neglected the opportunity, at least
in the older States, though they may have
conquered their aversion in Western Terri
tory. where woman suffrage was tried.
As the case stands now. II there was any
widespread demand among women for the
ballot, they would probably be soon and gen.
orally admitted to the polls. They can have
| the suffrage II they really want 1t very much,
according to present Appearances But 1t is
manifest that the great majority Of them not
only do not want 1t, but would DO annoyed
and distressed II 1t was given Thorn.
That indifference or actual hostility OF
those they would eniranchise must balk the
efforts OF the woman suffragists. It will
