President Arthur's Future.


NEW YORK, March 1-After the IT,
arguration of Cleveland temporary re.
tlrement to Fortress Monroe will be
made oy Chester A. Arthur. This Will
be done for the benefit of his health,
which is debilitated by dyspepsia, due
to mental anxiety. This assertion is
made on the word of Police Commits
sioner French. who has just returned
from a visit TO Washington, where his
daughter has been spending a month
with the president's family. "At no
time in the four years which he has al
most served" says MIR. French, has he
been so annoyed and badgered by Office
seekers from every part of the Union as
within the last month. They impor-
tuned him in droYes daily to give jobs
to them before his successor came into
power. THIS constant onslaught, at
times of the most influential character
imaginable, has tired him out, broken
him down completely, and put him
into such a condition that absolute rest
is essential. He Will stay at Fortress
Monroe until he feels somewhat restored
| and then will probably go on q long
cruise south in q sailing yacht. Aftel
that, when summer shall have come, hC
will spend q month or two at the water
| ing places. He will not return to hi
Lexington avenue residence, in this cit
until fall. II at that time he has re
| gained his old fashioned vigor, he vii
resume the practice of the law. He will
not, however, resume his former place Il
partnership with Knevais s. Ransom
but will work by himself. Beyond TIL
conclusion, he has made no positiv
plans for the future. His physician
and intimate friends have ADVISED him
live quietly for at least six months, an
especially to avoid excitement or annoy
ance of any kind. He has saved bU
little from his salary as president. and
don't believe he has more than $40, 90
to his name to-day" Mr.. French's *
cial and political intimacy with M
Arthur makes this statement crtdibl
above all the different reports that hay
7 gone out as to his intentions.

THE FIRST EJACULATION.


In view OF the imposing ceremonies
OF yesterday in connection with the in
augurAtiOn Of President Cleveland, the
twenty-ninth President of the United
States, description of the Inauguration
Of George Washington will not be IN
interesting.
Before leaving Mount Vernon for New
York, where his inaugural ceremonies
took place. Washington asked that his
reception on entering New York city be
devoid Of Ceremony. HIS request,
however, was not complied with.
he approached the city in q
barge constructed for the coca
sion. This was followed by other
barges, gayly decorated, add filed with
men and women. At the landing he
Was met by officers who had been with
him during the revolutionary war. He
walked through streets decorated with
flags, flowers and evergreens, followed
by large concourse Of people
Owing to the fact that the title with
which Washington was to be addressed
had not been decided upon, the inaugur-
alton Wss DELAYED several days. 1t was
finally decided TO call him "the presI-
dent of the United States" On
April 80, 1889. the inaugural ceremonies
took place. There were religious cere-
monies in all the churches during the
morning. Shortly after IL O'Clock, in a
coach OF state, Washington went to the
hall where congress was assembled. He
wore a suit of dark brown cloth, silk
stockings. and silver shoe buckles. A
sword hung from his side. His hair
was powdered. The oath was admins
tered by the chancellor of New York
state in balcony in front OF the senate
chamber. As Washington entered the
balcony he was received with shouts BY
the multitude who stood on the ground
before him. He was overcome for
the moment with emotion, aud the
crowd, observing him, became silent.
Presently he arose and came forward
once more. There were beside him John
Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and others.
The oath was read, while Washington
reEted his hand upon a bible. az swear,
so help me God" he said, when the
reading was completed, and then he
bowed and kissed the book. The chan
cellor; stepping TO the frcnt, exclaimed:
Long live George Washington, presl-
dent Of the United Statesl" At that
moment the people cheered. and artil =
lery was discharged at the battery.
Washington returned to the interior of the
building, where he delivered his Inaug-
ural address to both houses of congress.
Concluding this ceremony, he went to
st. Paul's church, where prayers were
read. In the evening there were lllu-
limitations and fireworks.

Dynamite at Kansas city.

KANSAS CITY, March IA loud ex-
plosiOn startled the people of this city
yesterday morning. The dynamite sens
ations were at first in everyhodY's mind
and for q few moments there were the
widest copjectuFes. It was soon learned
however that the explosion had been
caused by the carelessness of a workman
employed near Independence avenue
and Lydia avenue on the east side. 1t
occurred in a vacant lot where john Nc
Gee, q workman IN the employ of
Thos. Fisher, sewer contractor,
was engaged In throwing out five sticks
of giant powder, preparatory to using it
for blasting purposes. MCGEE built a
fire In a small cook stove and placed the
giant powder on top of it to thaw it out.
He had retired from the fire when the
explosion took place, and was unIn-
Jured. The force of the explosion
spent itself upon the surrounding build
ing, which were left standing, with badly
shattered Windows. The worst sufferer
from the explosion is Mr.. r. K. Keith,
whose house was situated close to the
vacant lot. Nearly every window in
the building was shattered, some be-
ing blown in by the force of
the conclusion, and some. being broken
jured was . young son of MIR. Keith
who was sleeping in the second story oil
Mr.. Keith's house at the time of the ex.
plosIon. Two large pieces of iron crash.
| ed through the window and hit him in
| the feshy part of the leg, decorating il
terribly. The boy is in a precarIou:
condition and his recovery Is regarded
as extremely improbable. MCGEE wa
arrested for criminal carelessness, bu
was bailed out by his employer.
