MONTGOMERY, Ala, August 4.-There
was no opposition whatever to the Demo
Gratis on the State ticket and very little of
party character in any county contests. In
consequence there was no excitement ex-
cept where the candidates were running
in counties that made no nominations and
these were many. Thus the local issues
Of the Democrats brought ont a fair vote.
The hottest fight was in Mobile between
the Democratic nominees and the hide
pendent ticket, and in Birmingham be-
tween the Democrats and a combination of
Republicans and Greenbackers. Those
two points we're the battle grounds of the
State. Not half a dozen Republican
Legislative candidates were running in the
State The vote in this city was about
1900, all Democrats, and there was no OPP

THE ARCTIC HEROES.
People Turn Out in ThrOngs
to See Them,
And Lionize Them to Their
Hearts Content.
A Great Many Prominent Peo-
Pile in Attendance.


PORTSMOUTH, N, H, August 1.-The
city is %thronged, public and private build
ings decorated, and "Welcome to our
Arctic heroes" is placarded on bunting
everywhere. The harbor is filed with
crafts laden with people. At ll:20, amid
considerable enthusiasm, Commander
Schley, Lieutenant Emery and Commander
Coffin d~isembarked, following them were
the other officers of the Greely expedi-
ton and the sailors of the Thetis. Bear
and Alert. They were enthusiastically
greeted. As they landed the crowd
pressed forward to shake hands. A roar
of welcome went up when at IL o'clock
Greedy was discovered with his comrades
coming towards the landing ~ the Ad-
mirl's barge. Greely was clothed in
white and with a SLOUGH hat and wearing
spectacles. As he and his companions
alighted all crowded to welcome him.
Greedy leaned upon Powell and languidly
waved his hat. His every movement
Indicated weakness. His comrades
were received with much attention. All
were placed in coaches and Immediately
driven to the Rockingham house, it hay
ing been decided that they should not APP
pear in the procession. At the hotel
crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of
them. Lieutenant Greedy said to an As
ISOLATED Press representative that he felt
very well this morning, and he looked it.
He expressed himself as much moved by
the cordially of his reception. Mrs.
Greedy joined her husband at the hotel.
AT IL. 20 the procession began to march.
The streets were packed. Applause
greeted the sailors of the relief squadron.
The ovation continued through the entire
route. Commander Schley, Lieutenant
Emery and Commander Coffin were re-
ceived with tremendous applause. As the
head of the procession neared the Rock
ineham House, where Lieutenant Greedy
and the survivors were awaiting the
review, the pressure of the crowd became
so great that the column was delayed
several minutes. Lieutenant Greely and
comrades were seated upon a balcony.
Cheer after cheer greeted them. As the
crews of the Thetis, Bear and Alert
passed Greedy bowed very low and seemed
to look his gratitude to the men who so
recently rescued him from an Arctic
grave. The scene was affecting.

Some meteorological Statements Com
corning the Past Month.

From a report upon last month weather
made by Sergeant McGovern, of the
Signal Service, it appears that the mean
temperature was 65.6o; the highest tenn
p%erature, go, and the lowest, 43s. The
temperature rose to 90' on only one day.
The highest velocity reached by the
wind was on the 2eth ult when it scored
forty-eight miles an hour, The wind was
unusually strong throughout the month.
Usually the movement for July averages
5000 miles, but last month it reached
s,13s miles.
Rain fell to a measurable amount on
only four days, and the rainfall through
out the whole month was less than three
quarters of an inch.
There were twenty clear days, nine fair
ones and two cloudy days during the
month, and three thunder storms and one
hail storm.
The mean temperature for July during
the past. fourteen years is 670. The
warmest July was in 1874, when the
mean temperature reached 70.05o; the
coolest was in 1875, when it was a little
over 52o. The highest temperature re-
corded for July is 1O0.50 in 1881, and the
lowest 37.5o in 1889.
The average rainfall for July in the past
fourteen years is LII inches. The
greatest amount, AL inches, occurred in
July, 1877. The greatest rainfall for one
day was on July 25, 1872, and amounted
to LAP July, 1876, and last July was
more nearly alike in character than any
two previous months
The rainfall was considerably greater in
much Of the surrounding country than il
was in this territory.

A FIERCE FIRE
Which Does Immense Damage
at Jersey City.
The Pennsylvania Depot is
ia Partially Destroyed.
Heavy Forces Of Firemen
Fighting the Flames.


New York, 1870 am, August A.
The Pennsylvania Railroad depot and
Ferry houses, at jersey City, are destroy
ed. The flames, however, burn ~furiously
yet and have attacked Adams express
pier u entire fire department of
jersey City is at work pouring water upon
the flames, while the river boats are o
tributing a number of heavy streams.
The Pennsylvania Railway depot and
Ferry houses being of wood and stocked
with every sort of combustihle material.
the flames made sure and rapid work.
The fire was caused by an explosion of
gas in the ferry entrance. The flames
shot up in all directions. The alarm vas
promptly responded to by the City Fire
Department and fireboats of New York
City and Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
A strong %southerly wind was blowing at
the time and carried the fire to all por-
lions of the waiting room and five slips
of the ferry and the immense railroad
waiting room. The entire structure was
a frame, single store, with the exception
Of a few offices above the ferry entrance.
The fire has now consumed five slips
and sheds connecting them, the ferry
and railroad Offices and waiting rooms with
the contents. The main depots have
brick walls and iron and glass roof. 1t
will probably be saved.
DIR. s. II. Vohslange, Sl3 East Eighth
street, New York, was in the ferry en-
trance when the explosion occurred. He
was struck by timbers and glass and
badly hurt. His lady friend was
seriously burned. She was taken
to Christ's Hospital. Henry Thorpe,
of Marion, had an artery OF his right arm
severed by breaking glass. So far as
known no lives were lost. Several hun
dred guests in Taylor's hotel were greatly
alarmed, but Quoted down when shown
there was no danger. Occupants OF small
stores in Exchange Place moved effects
into the street but are now returning.
The loss is very heavy but cannot be esti-
mated.

ROW WE MAY KEEP COOL.
some >ea>onable Hints for the
Renehr OF Heated Humanity.


Philadelphia Times
The temPeratnre OF our bodies, which nor

7rdly by our clothing, our food and drink, our
habits, whether active or otherwise, N by
the temperature OF the place in which wa
may happen to be. The point just named il
one of the most important, yet little need be
said Of Il Tor the reason tia now this a prac-
ucauy beyond our control Excess OF moisture
IN the airis said 10 and doubtless does make
a high temperature more distressing, because
II causes the water hat erpdes from our
bodies in the form Of sweat TO remain upon
the surface of the body, a circumstance that
greatly retards tho elimination Of heat. Gem
Tie currents OF cool air are agreeable md re-

The influence OF muscular a~ctiyity on tho
body temperature Is well known, and though
we can not all control our movements at ALI
hines, yet by experience all will find that Ego

weather-that is, when the temperature OF
the AFR gets up among the ~nineties, previous
~ which none should complain.
The food and drink most suitable for sum
mer use can be quickly named. Use a mini
mum amount Of fat and heated food, but
take care TO use the most nutritious and df-
gestible substances that can be commanded.
Heated foods arc best used at breakfast time.
Perfectly mature fruits used raw or fruit not
quite rfpc cooked Cold boiled ham, tongue
or beef, good bread and butter and good cold
milk make suitable summer lunch. The milk
may at times be substituted by cold lemon
ade. The two should, however, in no case be
used together. The clothing best adapted 10

New YORK, August 4.-The Com
n~lercial Bulletin of August 5 estimates the
fire losses for July in the United State
and Canada at IS, 500, 600, the heaviest
July loss since the Portland fire of July,
1866. By thirteen fires alone SO, 25O.o00
worth of property was destroyed. The
aggregate FIRE loss since January is s62,-
500, 600. an increase of about SO, 0OO, 900
over the corresponding seven months of
1873. This has so far been a year of ex-
traordinary fire waste.

Fatal Encounters.

LEXINGTON, Ky, August 4-The
election to-day was orderly and resulted
in a Democratic majority of ] ,22l. In the
race for Sheriff at the Court House u dis
pute arose between George Stewart,
Democrat, and ]. G. Geers, Republican,
which resulted in Geers shooting Stewart
through the head killing him instantly,
Another row occurred between Jack
Cleary and Dick Murphy, in which Cleary
was disemboweled and has since died.
This resulted from an old difficulty and
was in no way the result of the election.

To BE on son no bic.
h is the Question Regarding the
Postofice Location.

A rumor regarding the removal of the
postofice from its present location to a
point on Sixteenth street, in the neighbor-
hood of the Inter Ocean Hotel, has been
very generally circulated during the past
two days. In many quarters it received
credence, and as a natural consequence
created a considerable degree of sup
pressed excitement. A color of truth
was lent to the story by the presence here
Of a Postofice Inspector, and very many
plausible theories were built t~hereupon.
A reporter saw Postmaster Jones dur
ing the course of the afternoon. The
Judge smiled blandly at the reporter
through the pigeon-hole opening out of
which the mail is handed but
Immediately on being asked if he had
heard anything regarding the removal of
the Postofhce his countenance assumed u
serious and even solemn cast.
NO" said he in reply, Il have heard
nothing about the matter.
Have you any objection to saying if
you would favor such a movement ?"
~ certainly have. | 4 do not want to be
mixed up in the. MATE one way or All
other. and am disposed to let them fight
it out amongst themselves.
The Judge paused a moment at this
point and then remarked This | will
say, that | am in favor Of getting better
quarters than / now have.
A stream of persons calling for mail in
%terrupted further conversation.
The postofice should not be removed
from its present neighborhood, said a
well known gentleman last evening. for
the reason that it is more centrally located
that it would be further south.
A well known business man sends in the
appended communication.
To the Editor OF TnE LEADFR.
CHEYENNE, August 4.-rhcrc is IN TN
.derground effort being made toJcmoye
the p~ostoliee from the present location.
The business and resident population are
entirely satisfied with the present location.
The building may no be sufficiently com
modious, but it is quite as much SO as the
room to which it is proposed by interested
property holders to remove it. If the
wishes of the citizens of Cheyenne are
consulted it will remain where it is now
located, or will be located in the immedi-
ate vicinity of its present location.

KEY WEST, August 4.-Mate Walker,
of the Julia Baker, who has been per-
sonating Captain Lewis, the dead master
of that vessel, was to-day arraigned before
Commissioner Locke on the charge of
running away with the vessel and dispos-
ing of the cargo. The testimony proved
the master was sick when the vessel sailed
and continued sick six days. On the
sixth day the man at the wheel saw the
captain fall from his chair in the cabin.
He was picked up by the mate and
steward and laid on II mattrass on the
cabin floor. They then administered
something to him from Il bottle. The
master died in a few minutes. The mate
Immediately changed the vessels course
SO as to reach the Bahama Islands. She
was originally bound for Trinidad. Ar
irving at Fortune Island the mate sold a
deck load of lumber, and then went to
Inauga, where he sold some -four and
bread. The vessel was her taken to an
uninhabited island, where she met a small
schooner, the meeting had probably
been arranged at Inauga. The
latter vessel took on board 100
barrels of -four and departed, Mate
Walker going with her. Walker returned
with her in five days, having been able to
sell only twelve barrels Of flour. He gave
the small schooner twenty barrels for her
services and she left. The steward ran
away in her, jumping on board over the
Julia Bakers stern. The latter came
directly to this port, where the balance Of
her cargo of flour was offered for sale al
IS per barrel. Walker was held in 81, OOC
for trial at the November term of court.
