An Extinct Volcano.
Trenton IN. j. Gazette.

The Orange Mountains have always
been considered one of the redeeming
features of Eastern New Jersey. But
for this fine range of chestnut clad
hills tie geographers of Essex County
might be excused for believing, with
the contemporaries of Columbus, that
the earth is flat The Orange Noun
tains are their pride and joy, the
Jerseyman's picnic ground, the local
ity of mysterious robberies and muir
ders, the supposed winter resort of the
seaside mosquito; and at last some
thing has been found which should
give these humble hills pre-eminent
position in the Appalachian system.
The crater of an extinct volcano has
been discovered In the mountains near
Orange, and hundreds of visitors
daily crowd around the Interesting
spot. The genuineness eff the discov-
cry is asserted upon the authority of
State Geologist Cook and many other
scientific men. The prevailing scien-
ti6c structure of that part of the Blue
Ridge range admits, however, of
caves and what are commonly called
sink holes, and if it was not for the
corroboration of Professor Cook, who
enjoys a distinguished reputation in
his department of science, the report
would not be so readily believed as II
is. The New England Society, com
ptising many of The foremost citizens
of Orange, are arranging to obtain
possession of the property on which
this wonder is located.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-The politi-
clans are beginning 10 make dihgent
inquiries about the Pacific states. This
is particularly true of the republicans,
who are carefully considering the
question of success without the cleo
toral vote of New York and New Jer-
sey. There seems to be conviction
among republicans that New York
and New Jersey are going democratic,
and with these states it is absolutely
essential to republican success that
the democrats shall not carry any
other northern state. Even the three
votes of Nevada cannot be spared, by
the republicans.
The republicans have not carried
Nevada since 1873 and then only a
portion of their state ticket received
majorities. In 1880 the democrats
carried the state on the electoral
ticket by $40 and the candidate for
congress by 1897 majority on total
vote of IS, 400. In 1882 the demo
Gratis carried the state on both COVER
nor and congressman by 1858 majori-
tr. A prominent republican in Ne
vada writes the republican congress
sional committee that the state will
go republican if the proper amount
of work is done there. This is giving
the republicans considerable uneasi-
ness as it is not very satisfactory
showing.

A Story Of a Boy and a Pin.

Rogers S. Austin's 10year-old
Willingfori boy has paid for wisdom
in experience, and he gave good biz
price at,that. He wound yarn around
the head of a pin, and used it to fire
through a bloE-gun. 1t was very
funny until one day he sucked the
pin back into his throat so far that a
dozen doctors couldn't get it out.
Then they sent the boy to New
York hospital, where some more doc
tors cut hole in his throat, as they
do sometimes when child is very
sick with the diphtheria. The hole
worked well enough, but still they
couldn't reach the pin. They con
trived to keep the boy alive bv a silver
breathing tube until they sent to
Philadelphia and had an instrument
specially made Tor the case, and
then they managed to hook the pin

Immediate assistance is necessary but
fishing along the coast having been
very poor this season the neighborlng
villages can render but scanty aid to
the sufferers. One family is reported

age fire is the most disasterous ever
visited this part of the state. 1t be-
gan III a row of manufacturing build
ing on the west side of Black river.
The heavy wind blew the sparks
half a mile across over TO Two Islands,
filled with manufacturing institutions
and burned everything on the island
and struck the resident part of the
town and swept thdbuildings otf from
about seventy-tive acres. This was
the oldest part of the town and con
tanned beautiful shaded streets with
is in mass of Smouldering ruin. One
hundred and sixty dwellings were
burned besides the manufacturing iu-
stitutions aud the Episcopal, Presby-
terian, Baptist and Disciples churches,
town hall, academy and all other pub
lie buildings. The fire spread SO rap
idly that very few household goods
could be saved. The fire departments
of Watertown, lowville, Bonneville
and Utica responded to the call for
help, but AS the fire would appear in a
dozen different places a. the same
time the streams from the engines had
but little effect. The yards were filled
with dry leaves which were ignitcd by
the flying eInbers and famed by the
stiff breeze were soon IN Il blaze. One
hundred dwelling houses were on fire
at the same time and the people work
ed hard for several hours 10 save prop
erty. Then they became panic strick
en and at last hundreds Of them were
roaming the streets or lying in spots
where the fire had not touched.
Every place of shelter in the village
was filled with women aud children.
\ large number of people were
brought to this city, where they had
friends to care for them 1t is i'm
possible to correctly picture the scenes
of yesterday afternoon and last night.
Strong men weeping, women and
children crying rs they realized that
everything they possessed had been
swept away, people thrown out of

they had destroyed. They viii have

Money can be sent to Allen kelleby
aud c. z. Ryther, Carriage, who can
be safely trusted to look after the

The loss will foot up over half a mil

given but agents say it Will not reach
one-third of that amount.

SOMETIME ago Everet 2. Wheeler of

conduct OF Pension Commis issoner
Dudley for being absent from his du-
ties while many thousands OF cases
were awaiting action. The president
referred the subject 20 tie secretary of
the interior who referred it TO Acting
Commissioner Clark. This man Clark
evidently c)nsi lers his own import
ance second only to that OF President
Arthur He has given the associated
press long, drilling screed Of what
he pretends TO know. The one tding
Mr.. Clark certainly don't know is that
nobody will believe anything he says.
The absence from duty is admitted
and nothing is denied except the
charge that Ohio and Indiana pension
claimants were to be given preference
over other claimants. This Clark
denies. but his denial is Of no weight
whatever 1t may be true and may
not be. 1t is not denied that Dudley
took to On.o with him 4 large force
of clerks from the pension bureau to
work for the party while being paid

awaiting consideration aud needy

Scotch NJ 2rriage.
London Truth

Fearful and wonderful are the
vagaries of the Scotch marriage law.
From time out of mind it has been
considered legal for people to marry
merely by making a declaration in
the presence of witnesses. But by a
statute of Charles H., which is about
as obsolete as the Lords day act, such
marriages were forbidden and delared
punishable. Last week a couple were
brought up at the Edinburg police
court for having contravened this
statute By declaring themselve hus-
band and wife before witnesses. They
pleaded guilty and were fined a shill,
ing each. Oddly enough, however,
the conviction itself became legal
celebration of the marriage, and ths
document recording it is certificate
of marriage which can be produced
in case OF necessity.
