NICK
A Stop Put to Their Use In the Manu-
facture Of Cheap Jewelry.

Boston, February 27,-Major Nell
rath, chief Of the secret service for New
England, has made a timely discovery of
the gliding of the new fve.cent nickel by
manufacturers of cheap jewelry, which
if allowed to continue, would have proved
q fruitful sourc of defrauding the public
in the purchase of pinchbeck jewelry.
The nickel on one side looks very much
like the die of a So gold piece,
and the manufacturers, by gliding
it and placing this side to view on crosses,
pins, and other designs of jewelry, made
them look as though ornamonted with
the So gold piece, and they could have
been readily sold to the general public
for this purpose. Several Attleboro
jewelers. have been engaged in this bust.
ness, and have sent samples Of jewelry
80 manufactured to different parts of the
west, a considerable quantity being found
in Cincinnati and other western cities.
The manufacturers allege ignorance of
the law bearing on counterfeitiug, and
have freely given up all treated coins in
their possession. 1t is not likely prose-
cutions will follow at present.

III FIRE %
SEVERAL HEAVY LOSSES.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February %
Five fires occurred during the night.
Owing to the violence of the wind and
the great distance between the various
alarms the fremen found much trouble in
keeping the flames under control. The
most disastrous was at the chemical works
of Powers 81 Wightmann, the largest of
the kind i'll the country, which were TO-
tally destroyed. The loss on this place
will be over 81 1000, 0G0. The fire
first discovered about j o'clock, but the
alarm was not responded to because the
only three engines in the fire district
were already engaged in combating a
similar fire in the wool mills at Second
and Lehigh avenue. One of tho two en-
gines which answered the first call came
a distance of nearly two miles. The store
of Coon Bros, & Co., produce commits
sion merchants, No. 20 South Water st.,
was damaged $40, 600. About the same
time the Echo carpet mill at Lehigh W.
nue. and Palethorpe street and three or
four dwellings adjoining were destroyed,
involving a loss of 5000, 600. The other
tires were not 30 serious, but frequent
alarms served to distract the iremen and
tax the department.
The building with all it's contents was
destroyed. Up to 6 o'clock the flames
steadily triumphed over all opposition
lighting up the entire city, while neigh
boring streets were blocked with panic
stricken residents removing goods to
places of safety From Eve until moor
it's progress was confined co burning in
famable matter within tho confines al
ready described. There was no fear of
its spreading. Some %neighboring houses
had their rosfs and fronts damaged, but
drenching with water during the night
prevented total destruction. 1t is impos-
sible 30 far to obtain any idea of the value
OF the machinery or stock Estimates vary
from a million to a million and a half OF
dollars. The insurance is estimated al
half a million of which $4,000 is in
this city.

previously ascerlained whether it can be
adopted.
The Germania doubts whether such
resolutions would find q majority. The
reichstag is not competent to reply to a
resolution of coincidence of which they
have received no official cognizance.
The Politische Nachriohten attributes
half the blame to Minister Sargent and
asserts that he is lacking in political fact
and so failed to keep the authorities at
Washington informed Of the true state of
affairs in Germany.
The Cologne Gazette says: bismarck
might perhaps have forwarded the resolu-
ton to the reichstag, il Minister Sargent
had not, from easily explained reasons
rendered himself obnoxious. We hope
this unfortunate incident will not disturb
the harmony of the two nations whose
interests have been closely bound togeth-
or many years"
THE FRANCHISE IN ENGLAND.
LONDON, February 29.-Gladstono in
proposing tho bill for extension of the
franchise in the house of commons made
a great speech in support of the bill, urg-
ing the impracticability Of separate bills
for England, Ireland, and Scotland. He
said the massage of the Measure would in
crease the voting power of the United
KINGDOM two million votes. The torys
are strongly opposing the bill, and the
Parnellites and Scotch members support
ing the measure.
MORE DYNAMITE.
Information was lodged with the po-
lice that an attempt to blow up the law
court with dynamite vas imminent.
They arrested three men, seized a large
quantity of dynamite discovered in a
house at Glare Marketnear Strand. In the
valise containing dynamite found at
Charing Gross station, with Internal
clocks, was also found a copy of The
New York Sun, of February 9th.

MYSTERIES.
a Mud Geyscr Formed During the
Flood Stiu NJ s,ifying Beholders.

WHEELING, W. Va, February 90
The Powhatan mud guyser still remains
a mystery. The discharge of matter
from the o%rifce, which is about two feet
in diameter and smoothly drilled in a
solid rock, has ceased, but the evi.
dences of phenomenal action re-
main. All efforts TO measure
the depths of the shaft have
failed because of the force Of the gaseous
discharge. Heavy timber dropped end
wise into the aperture, after descending
below the surface, is hurled into the air
with terrific force. About the orifice is
a considerable mound of mud, stones and
coal thrown out by the gaseous discharge,
and, rs the nearest coal vein is sixty feet
below the surface, the well must be at
least that deep. All efforts to fire the
invisible discharge force have failed, and
the water thrown out is as cold as ice,
thus making it certain that hoat aud
natural gas have nothing to do with the
mystery.

Denver News.
Y. III. Dittmar, the good-looking ad-
vance agent of the Patti troupe, arrived
in Denver yesterday.
Eyes, sir" he said to a News report.
er, "Patti is a wonderful woman-the
greatest singer alive to day"
"No doubt, but ~ does seem a good
deal of money to pay to hear a woman
sing. Is it a fact hat she gets $4,000 a
nightP
"Yes, and I'll tell you how it came
about. Last March Mapleson made a
contract with her, or at least drew up q
contract with Patti, eugagirgs herpfor one
year at $4,000 per night. This agree
ment was made on Friday, but having
superstitions Patti could not sign it on
that day, so the signing was put over
until Saturday. Now, on Saturday
morning Abbey had Al interview with
with PATHS husband, when he offered
her $4,000 per night to sing
Well, when the hour came for
signing the contract the husband
of the great singer told Mapleson that
Patti had expressed a wish to sing with
him during the season, but could not
afford to do 80 at q loss to herself, giving
the terms offered by 900 per
night. Therefore, Mapleson had moth
ing to do but pay the price, which no
then agreed to do, and the contract for
So, 900 per night was signed. This delay
of a few hours in signing that contract
cost Mapleson $50, 000."
"Then she really gets $4,000 per night,

"Yes, indeed, every cent of it, and be-
fore the curtain goes up, too. Ill tell
how fine they've got this thing down. 1t
is the habit of Mapleson to come into
gins to u her out her nights salary.
Well, Patti has a parrot, a beautiful
bird, which was presented to her by the
emperor of Brazil. The great singer al
ways has this bird in her dressing room,
and through sheer force of habit he has
learned to cry out, as soon as Mapleson
enters, 'Cash-cash-cash. This is the
only word in the English language that
parrot knows
"What does Patti do with her money!
"She lives extensively. 1t costs her
about 500 per day to exist. Then she
has alar2e estate and a castle in Wales,
on which she has employed several hun.
drsd families, and 1t costs her about
$500, 900 a year to keep that up"
"She will certainly sing at the matinet
on Saturday.

THE PROHIBITION BILL.
Dies MONIES, Ia, February 29.-The
house this morning resumed considera-
ton of the prohibition bill, similar to
that passed by the senate, known as tho
Donnan bill. Kennedy, author of the
house bill, got the floor and began speak
ing in favor of the measure, but yielded
the floor ut the instance of Smyth, who
moved the previous question. This was
vigorously resisted by the democrats and
the greenbackers, but was carried by n
vote of 90 to 46, two members, Curtis
(rep.) and Wherry (dem. }, not being
present. The main question was then
ordered by a vote OF 52 to AZ, Babb
(dem.) voting with the republicans.
Dabney's amendment prohibiting exc
cutive pardon was then voted down--53
to 40. The roll was then called
on an amendment offered by Merrill, it
being a low license bill, and it was de-
feated by n vote of so to 40. The ques-
ton then came up on Clayton's substi-
tute for the original bill, and this too
was defeated by a vote of 80 to 40. The
bill was ordered engrossed by n strict
party vote of 81 to As. The greenback-
ers all voted with the democrats at each
vote, so that the republicans are not ex-
pecting much il any aid from them when
the vote comes on the passage Of the
bill. 1t will be passed without them.
In the afternoon tho house considered
the bill to compel railroads to erect sta
ton houses at crossings, but no action
was reached upon it.
In the senate the democratic license
bill came up and was ordered not en-
crossed by 81 to 10. Bills passed requir-
ing passenger depotS constructed at rail-
road crossings and intersections and to
divide tho sixth Judicial district into two
circuits. A joint resolution passed mem
oraliziug congress to pass a law for the
suppression of pleuro pneumonia. Bills
were introduced to provide for inspec-
ton, and to regulate the sale of etro-
leum and to establish a female reforma-
cory and prison. Adjourned.
