GRENADA, MISS, August ia fire last
night destroyed the greater portion of the
business part of the town. The fire burned
three hours, consuming seVenty-eight build
ings and contents. Loss, $500, 900 insur-
ance $65, 900.
GALVESTON, TEX, August ia Calves
ton Greenville (Texas) special says: At 2
O'Clock this morning flames were discov-
cred issuing from Beaps grocery store. Ua-
der strong south wind the fire rapidly en-
quilted two entire squares Of wooden build
;he Coffey Hotel. Crossing Washington
street TO the west side of the square, every
building was swept away for two hundred
yards. From this point the flames commu-
licated to the new County Courthouse of
Hunt County, reducing it to ashes in spits
Of every effort. From the Coffey Hotel ths
fire spread to the south side of the
square, destroying half the buildings on
that side. Altogether about forty business
houses, half of them well built brick
structures, with all contents, were con-
sumed. Over half the business portion Of
Greenville is in ruins. Among the build
ings burned were the Rainey Opera house
and Ragsdale & Herrin's large agricultural
hardware establishment. Total loss, in
Guiding the 1000 Court House, foots up
$780, 900, distributed among seventy.three
sufferers. Total insurance estimated at over
500 200, of which $1S1 200 is already known.
Several insurance offices were burned out,
with alb their books. 1t is generally be-
lieved the fire was of incendiary origin.
The citizens are greatly detected. Green

THOSE CANsIBAL CHARGES.
Revelting Disclosures Made-The Body
Feand to be Horribly Matilated.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, August 15.-The disin-
terment of Lieutenant Frederick j. Kis.
iingbury's body, of Arctic fame, from its
grave In Mount Hope Cemetery, was made
here to-day with the consent in the pres
ence of Frank W. and John P. Kislingbury,
brothers of the deceased. The disclosures,
resulting from subsequent autopsy
are of the most revolving character.
The skin and muscles of the face and
neck were intact, but from the upper por>
tiou of the sternum and clavicle to the fifth
rib the skin and muscles had all been re-
moved on both sides. The skin and flesh
were entirely removed from both thighs
and legs, excepting the skin upon the knee
and ankle joints. Both feet were intact,
and no bones had been broken. There were
no vestige of intrigument or flesh upon
either arm, the interosseus membrane of
the right forearm alone remaining. Tue
flesh and muscles on both hands were
well preserved. The examination of the
posterior portion of the body showed that
the skin and muscles of the back had been
cut completely away down to the bones,
with the exception of Q few pieces OF skin.
The pelvic bones were entirely denuded,
and all the extremities were attached to
the body by iigaments only. All the or
gans of the abdominal and thoracic cavity
were present, and there were no signs of
recent Inflammation in the stomach or
bowels. Hardened Jumps of fecal matter
distended the large intestines composed
of hair, moss and woody fibre. 1t
is the opinion of Drs. Buckley and Mande-
vile that the flesh had been cut away
with sharp instrument, and that re-
naming of the feet, hands and face
showed no signs of decay. The remains
were fully identified as those of Lieutenan
Kislingbury. w. 81. Kislingbury. tht
other brother of the deceased officer,
outlined the condition of things, which
would lead to the belief that the Greely
expedition was divided into two parties
or factions, and one perished because
the other had gained possession, by force,
of the food supply. In the ostra
cized party Were Lieutenant Kisling>
bury and DIR. Pavy. The condition of Lieu
tenant Kislingbury's body shows that he
died of starvation at a time when the
others had some food supply. There was
absolutely nothing in the stomach, and in
the intestines was lump of indigestible
material. There were no indications of
rupture, and the story that he injured him
self is discredited.

A Characteristic Defense.

We believe that ex-Judge E. Rock
wood Hoar has conducted himself with
average ability and fairness on the
bench and at the bar, and it therefore
strikes us with greater surprise and re-
gret that he should pettifog on the po-
litical stump. In his speech at Wor-
cester he said: "He was not going to
defend Mr.. Blaine against attacks on
his private character, or against assaults
on him as a man or statesman. The
time for that had passed great while
ago. These charges might have been
made when he was nominated Secretary
of State, but he was confirmed by the
unanimous vote of tue Senate, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans" Ii an ordinary
man, giving to the theory or practice of
American politics very little thought,
had said that, we should not have been
surprised, for on the face of it it has
far-away resemblance to words of truth
and soberness. But Judge Hoar can
not help knowing that he made any
thing but fair representation of the
case. When a President makes up his
Cabinet, he is simply putting in order
an important part of the machinery of
his Administration, and would be re-
garded as q snub and citicised by
the press as wanton attempt of the
opposition to antagonize his Admins
tration at the start. if his leading min
isterial appointments were to be reject
ed. The very fact that Democrats voted
to confirm Blaine shows that his char
acter and record were not considered.
The almost invariable precedent of
courtesy to the President was strictly
followed, and this is almost invariably
right, for the President is held respon-
sible for the acts OF his Minister and ac-
cepts that responsibility. The Senate
also confirmed Chandler; but if Chand-
Ter should be nominated for the Presi-
dency by the Republican party-a not

TORONTO, August 15.-According to .
supplementary report of the Bureau of In>
dustries for August, good harvest of
grain crops of Ontario is assured. Fall
wheat gives an average of 21k bushels, and
spring 16H bushels per acre. The aggre-
gate production exceeds last years harvest
by ten and~a half million bushels. Bar
ley is q good crop in southern counties,
but in the northern and northeastern it is
affected by summer drouth. The grain,
though plump and heavy, was dis
colored by rain in the last week in July.
The oat crop account is much the
same as for barley, but, being two
or three weeks later in ripening, has been
greatly benefited by the July rains. The
area in rye is much less than last year.
The acreage yield is about the same. Peas
are a bountiful crop. The estimated yield
of the hay crop is one million tons less than
last year. The appearance of the corn crop
is unpromising, due partly to the inferier
seed and partly to low temperature in
June and July. A good crop of beans is ex-
pected. Reports of root crops are general
lyfavorable.

namauinu Storm al Pittshuru.

PITTsBuRG, August 16.-Between five
and six O'Clock this evening this section
was visited by the worst thunderstorm of
the season. Rain fell in torrents, the wind
blew a hurricane, and hail as large as mar
bles fell in all parts of the two cities.
Danziger's trimming store, on Market
street was struck by lightning and the
roof partially torn off. The rain poured
in the opening, and goods were dam
aged to the extent of $4,000. Library
Hall was also struck, but only slightly
damaged. In the Seventeenth Ward new
frame house was blown down, and on the
South Side large frame building, in course
of erection, was completely demolished. In
all parts Of Pittsburg and Allegheny cellars
were flooded and in certain localities the
streets covered nth water to the depth Of
from two to three feet. The damage will
reachssmsny thousands of dollars. No
fatalities are reported.

A FATAL EXPERIMENT.
An Attems ut to PuIverize Giant Powder
in Cohee.Min Results DiAasfrously.

WHEELING, W. VA, August 17.-Edward
Brown, young man of Martins Ferry, was
fatally hurt last night, in an unique way.
He intended to spend Sabbath hunting, but
having no gunpowder, and the stores being
closed, he took some giant powder in his pos
session and undertook to pulverize it in
coffee-mil. So he pulverized it, and him
self too, almost, and set the house on fire.
He put a quantity of the powder into the
mill and began grinding it,when it explod-
ed, igniting the balance of the powder and
causing a terrific report. The coffee-mill
was blown to atoms, the house was Jared,
and Brown blown several feet and
terribly burned. The hair on his head was
burned off to the scalp, and his face, eyes,
ears, hands, arms shoulders and chest
frightfully burned. His finger-nails came
off. He crawled out into the road with his
clothes on fire, screaming for help. The
flames were extinguished as rapidly
possible. His sufferlngs were terrible.
His lips and tongue were terribly burned,
having inhaled some of the flames.

The Cholera in France.

LONDON, August 17.-fhere are now forty
one places and thirteen departments in
Franc from which deaths from cholera have
been reported, and there are doubtless half
as many more towns and villages in which
there have been deaths, of which no reports
have reached the world outside.
villages are often heartrending, and
as often wrath-provoking. The cholera
area now stretches from Toulon, in the
southwest, to Auxerre, in the north, in tie
Department of Yonne, and to Gap in the
southeast, in the Hautes Alpes, thus max
ing a triangle whose sides are respectively
235, 245 and 310miles long. Auxerre is only
about one hundred miles from Paris in a
souuherly direction.

after visiting the two German cemeteries,

The .sIrish Undertow" for Blaine.

One of B1aine's leading organs, the
Philadelphia Press, has an editorial
headed The IRISH Und rtow for
Blaine" which undertakes to prove that
the great bo ly OF lrishmen will vote the
Republican ticket The figure, .'Irish
Undertow," is bad. The Press may ap-
ply it to the Republican party, but it
can not consistently speak of the Irish
in this connection.
What is an undertow?
When the sea is calm and beautiful
above, when its appearance invites
dip into its cooling waters, there is lurk-
ing beneath treacherous and deadly
current, and when the bather enters it is
the stealthy and unseen undertow that
carries him to his death. There is no
"Irish undertow for Blaine or any
one else. The figure is false to the ma
ture of the true Irishman. ALI nation
alities have their characteristics, but
to liken the lrishman to that hidden
death of the sea, which is always called
treacherous, is an insult to his name and
slur upon the island on which he was
born.
It is rather characteristic of the Irish
man to be like the bold pillows of the
ocean, which can be seen of all; like the
waves whose breaking upon adamant
will at last wear it away; like the waves
which, when they give the blow, are
scattered, indeed, but the broken rem
nants unite again and again roll upon
the rocky front, beating it slowly but
surely down. So has the Irishman
fought against tyranny; SO as he fought
for right; SO has he fought for Democ-
racy. Openly, fairly, often rccklessly,
yet always where he can be seen, he has
been like those pillows whose beating at
last wears down the obstacle and opens
the channel to the haven of liberty.
Noe cant, no hypocrisy, no treachery,
no undertow in Che true 1rishman's nat
ure. If there u such thing as an
"Irish undertow' Blaine is welcome to
it. But there is a great Irish wave for
Cleveland. .-Richmond Va.) State.

Gold Increase.

WASHINGTON, August 15.-The available
balance in the Treasury is one hundred
and forty millions, an increase of one
million since August 1. The demands
upon the Treasury during August and
September will not be unusually heavy,
and it is, therefore, likely that a call for
ten million dollars of three-per-cent
bonds will be shortly issued. The gold
fund shows slight increase compared
with the figures of August /.
