PUMPING WATER INTO THE. DEs-
EKT.-\eW York, February 27.-The
firm of Henry r. WOrthingtOn, Of this
city, the largest builders of pumping en-
gines in the world, and the builders
of the engines used in pumping oil
through the pipe lines, have received
the contract for constructing the pumps
to drive the water through the pipe
lines across the desert from Suakim to
Berber. The pipe line is to supply wa
ter for the locomotives and tine English
troops in the Soudan. One of the pumps
was shipped last Saturday by the steam
er Adriatic another goes to morrow
by the Germauic. One OF the firm OF
Worthington said to-day that by the
plan adopted by the English engineers
two four-inch pipes will be III over the
whole distance. Every thirty miles or
so will be a tank and two OF the Worth
ington engines. with the capacity OF
Of forcing water along at a pressure OF
1000 pounds to the square inch. The
engines are about 200 horsepower. 1t
is likely that the pipes to be used will
be of American make. They Will be
laid in zig-zag line. to allow for eXpan-
sion under the sun, and they will be
buried in the sand.

Dying OF HYDRoPHoBIA.-New Or
leans, March, james Reed died in
this city this morning OF hydrophobia,
after suffering terrible ~agonies. About
ten months 9 he was bitten by a small
dog in rhe teshy part OF the left hand
Just below and between the thumb and ID
dex finger. The wound was about a quar-
ter of an iuch deep, bled p~rofuseiy, and
healed in nine days. Instead Of having
the wound cauterized or attended by a
physician, Reed saturated it with tur-
p%entine, and, as it healed, he paid no
more attention to it. He was taken sick
on Thursday. His disease first showed
itself when he was endeavoriug to wash
his hands, which he found it impossible
to do. The characteristics Of the malady
were more like delirium tremens az by
drophobia, the sick man insisting that he
was being devoured by dogs and snakes.
1t was found necessary to chain him to the
bed yesterday, when be became very vio-
lent. CONFUSION after CONFUSION fol-
lowed each other until he expired Of ez-
haustion.

SIX HUNDRED MILES RELIED OFF IN
LESS THAN THREE DAYS. Madison
Square Garden is filled from morning
until night with the "whirr whirr!' of
roller skates, to the tune of which this
great country seems rapidly becoming
crazed. A large platform at the far end
of the Garden holds a lot of musicians,
who, with their hats and coats piled up
behind them, sit and play and watch the
poetry of motion in an earnest endeavor
to catch on. Young girls with wavy
bangs and endless dimples sit side by side
with gray haired old ladies, ali gazing
downward at the track with the same
deep interest, and mechanically raising
their hands to clap when some f~avorite
makes a squirt.
Yesterday was the third, the most try
ing day for contestants in all six days
races, and % Of the SO men who had en-
tered were still on the track. They went
rolling around with bent bodies, swinging
arms, and wearied faces, while the scores
went climbing up and up, followed by the
rising wonder of the crowd at such un
heard-ot figures. Six hundred miles Is
a great distance for the most %tireleSs legs
to pass over in six days. But yesterday

PARNELn AND GLADSTONE
Likely to Link Their Fortunes Nm tn.
 Cominrr ERsrlf m fkt.

a oOEAAnS FdfIfameRts
 LONDON, Dec. 8.-The Conservatives are now panicky in consequence of the almost certain ascendancy of the Liberals in the approaching session. Though the rumor of Lord Salisbury's resignation has been promptly denied there is 8 general inn Presslen that it is only premature and that It foreshadows the Premiers' probable action upon the reassembling of Parliament. MT. Parnell, though not in the position he aimed TOT as the holder of the balance of power, IS yet stronger than ever before. The Irish statesman never developed such powers of leadership as in the present campaign, as is shown by the fact that for the first time Ireland has returtfed not a single Liberal member of Parliament. At the same time MT. ParneH is clear of binding utterances and his offer of support to the Liberals now in case of need against Whig defection to the Tories does not savor of treacherv and is generally approved. It is considered prob able, also, that MT. Gladstone will accept the offer, as he bears no ill-will toward Parnell, having always regarded him in a sort of paternal way as spoiled child in politics who persists in rejecting the grand old mans ideas of the proper way to legislate for the best interests of Ireland, for it has never been denied that Gladstone is Ireland's truest friend among English statesmen The ali ance too, though apparently unnecessary for Gladstone at the start, may prove of great value to him in ticklish junctures such as seem to be the inevitable lot of political leaders who have taste for venturing upon legislation slightly too advanced for the com prehensioa or sympathy of the more conser vative of their adherents. These considera- tions are spoken of now as likely to impel d Libe1al-Nationalist agreement which will make Gladstone independent of the Cham berlain- Dilke clique, with which he has never beon fully in sympathy. 7sT
 Lord Spencer, the late viceroy of Ireland, and Earl Roseberry are in consultation with Mir. Gladstone at the Hawarden Castle. The subject of the conference is said to be the projected coalition between the Liberals and Parnel1ites.

ANOTHER FIRE LAST EVENING.

A Decayed Furnace Pipe Sets Fire to
 the Grocery Store Of Hurlburt Bros.
 on Chapel Street-About S2OO Dam-
 age.
 About half-past seven o'clock last evening Mrs. W. H. Browning, who lives on Chapel street near the corner of High street, thought she smelled smoke, but could find no fire un til she started out about an hour afterwards, when she saw flames bursting from the side of the store occupied by Hurlburt brothers as grocery store on the corner of High and Chapel streets Mrs. Browning notified a passer-by, who started to sound an alarm, but before the latter could obtain key Officer E. L. Hyde sounded the alarm from box A corner of High and Chapel streets. The members of the department soon arrived, as did a crown of about 300 Yale students who blocked up the streets so that the fremen could not work to advantage, but one dose of cold water from hose sent the students flying in all directions. The fire was found to be directly over the furnace, between the ceiling of the cellar and the floor, having caught from an overloaded and decayed furnace pipe. The fire, however, was quickly e1tinguished with the aid of one stream of water. The damage done was mostly to goods by the dense smoke, but it will not exceed $2OO, the loss being fully covered by insurance ia the Morse agency

EXPLOSION IN MILL. The Bremen Have a Narrow Escape From an Awful Death.


 MILWAUKEE, Dec. S.-At about 2 o'clock this morning 8 fire broke out in the Daisy roller mill An explosion followed, wrecking the building, which was totally destroyed. The fire spread to the Empire mill and com pletely destroyed both structures, entailing q loss of about s25O, O,OoR. The explosion was caused by mill dust, the great enemy of all Touring mills. A number of fremen were in and about the mills at the time of the explosion and why they were not all killed seems most miraculous. Assistant Chief Ed Riemer was violently hurled ont of door and seriously injured. The drem en had only just commenced play ing upon the roof of the Empire mill when a cry went up from the thousands in the streets, ssThe whole wall is falling in." The firemen saw their danger and dropping their hose jumped back, some falling in their en- deavor to escape, while others threw them selves on their faces under 8 pile of blanks which fortunately was at hand. The man had barely got out of reach when with 6 roar the tall brick wall fell, throwing cloud of dust smoke, cinders and pieces of brick into the street. To person a few rods dis tant it seemed as though all the iremen had been crushed under the falling wall. When the smoke cleared all the fremen were pres ent or accounted for and set to work getting the hose out of the ruins.
