they are handy in an emergency, or

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
The Chief Officer of the State of Florida Re-
sponsible for the Vessels Loss.

The Chief officer of the State of Florida Re-
spOnsible for the Vessels Loss.
GLASGOW, June 25-In the Board Of Trade
inquiry into the loss of the steamship State of
Florida and the bark Ponema, to-day the
boatswain of the Florida testified that he could
have launched all the boats, instead of three, if
the engines had been stopped The noise of the
steam drowned his orders. The third officer de-
posed that after the collision be looked over the
side of the vessel and saw hole six feet square,
into which the water was rushing.
The jury found that the State of Floridas ar
rangements for lowering boats were satisfactory
that or1ers to lower the boats were promptly
given; that only three boats were capable of be
ing lowered, because the Florida was going at
the rate of eight knots hour; that the passen-
gers, and even some of the crew, hesitated about
entering the boats owing to the great speed at
which the steamer was going, and hence the
great loss of life. 1t found by the court
that Captain Sadlier did his duty to the last
that he was last seen endeavoring to calm the
passengers; that the second and third mates
also performed their duty; that the Ponemia
was navigated with proper, seamanlike care,
and that Thompson, the chief officer of the
Florida, was to blame for the calamity

is attributed to the answering support Of
Hamilton county, which gave him all
of its sixty-three votes The county never
before voted solid in a State convention.
The election of Mclean is causing quite SEN
sation. Many of the older politicians are
amazed and some disguised at the success of
the man who has been denounced all over the
State for his audacity and outlawry in politics
Mclean says he is for Hoadly, and this is re
garded as plain indication that there will be a
bitter fight in the Ohio delegation at Chicago.
The stampede started with the election of Ward
was to include Thurman Pendleton and Con
gresham Warner. The plan was arrested,
and the next movement was to nomi-
nate by reclamation, to which motion
the name of Thurman was attached, and then
Mclean and Thurman were elected by one vote,
after which Lieutenant governor Mueller, the
permanent chairman, and a personal friend of
Payne, was selected. The delegation is strongly
for Western man for President, although
unable to agree on an Ohio man, and solid
against any reduction in the tariff. The dele
cation stands thirty for either Payne or
Hoadly to eight against either, and will
probably never vote as a unit.

EXTINGUISHING FIRES.
Another Brilliant and Satisfactory Test
of the Han den Hand Grenade.
The Quickest, Surest and Most Effective Fire
ExtinguiSher Ever Invented.

DR.. A. NJ Alexander, State agent for the Har-
den Hand Grenade Fire Extinguisher, gave an
other illustration last night, of the wonderful
promptness and efficiency of the grenade in ex-
tinguishing fire. This test made on the south
side of the Circle, was not necessary to convince
in surance men and property holders here Of the
Importance of this extingusher, but to
show a great number of visitors and
delegates to the Democratic convention
business men and others, what could be done
with small and portable appliance The bon
fire accordingly was kindled, and the material
used being highly infamabe, the flames were
soon roaring and cracking and leaping high.
DR.. Alexander then ran forward, the fire being
so hot no man could stand within twenty yards
of it, and broke single globe grenade directly
over the flames, which subsidized instantly. 1t was
certainly most marvellous performance and
every one expressed the heartiest appreciation of
the efficiency of the grenade.
The grenades are made of glass spherical bot
ties, holding about pint containing a fluid
which, upon being broken over or thrown into a
fire, generates a gas that eXtinguishes the
flames instantly, as if by magic. Fire cannot
exist in contact with it moment. These gre
nades can be placed in every room of your home
office, store, mandatory, or place of business
at convenient points, and, in case of fire, are
always ready for immediate use They are
small, and no experience is necessary to handle
them. Any man. woman or child who can
throw ball, can use these grenades effectually
in putting out fire. They are tightly sealed
will not deteriorate with age, or burst or freeze
in any climate, and are perfectly harmless
Should grenade get accidentally broken the
contents cannot possibly injure the person,
clothes, or carpets in the slightest degree
Should persons clothes catch fire, and the
contents of Hand grenade Fire Extinguisher
be thrown over the victims head and clothes, the
fire would be put out III an instant, and perhaps
life saved thereby. No man, merchant, manu-
facturer farmer hotel or vessel should be with
out them, as the price is within the reach of all
They are valuable everywhere, and especially so
where there is lack of water facilities and no
fire department exists, as is the case in small
towns and fIrming communities A dozen or
more of these wonderful hand grenades at your
home or place of business, in case of fire, may
save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The present chief fire engineer Mr. Webster
gives the Harden Grenade his unqualified in
dorsement and W. o. Sherwood, ex-chief fire
engineer also indorses it as a safe, prompt and
efficient fire extinguisher The office of A. NJ
