A COMMERCIAL REVOLUTION IN
AER IGA

nj KAlNJAH
However much war may be de
plored in general, says he Phiiadei-
phia Times, it has often happened
in the worlds history that a single
war has given a greater impetus to
real civilization than centuries of
peace. The exasperating ccnHlctn-
to which Gladstone and the English
have been dragged by the ears in
the Soudan district is likely to have
this result if present plans are car
ried out. The camel and the oasis
have been for thousands of years the
principal factors in African com
merce. Thanks to the Soudan war,
| the railway and the pipe line are to
supersode these antiquated necessi-
! ties of trade in that sandy country.
In order 10 transport the troops
! from Suakim to Berber a railway is
to he laid. To furnish a sure supply
of water for engines and troops
pipe line is also to be laid contigu-
Gus to the track. An experienced
Pennsylvania pipe-layer, A. W. Smi-
ley by name, has been employed to
superintend this part of the work
and the necessary pumps have been
ordered from a well-known Ameri-
can firm The success of the Penn
sylvania oil men in piping their pro-
duct hundreds of miles, over noun
tain and plain, has demonstrated
clearly that water can be conveyed
along desert lines of travel hundreds
and even thousands of miles, if nee
essary. What the irrepressible yam
kee can do at home he can do any
where else and naturally he is called
upon to introduce the first pipe line
in the deserts of the Soudan
The great Importance of the en-
ployment of the new method of ira
vel and the new source of water
supply in the Soudan district is not
to be measured by it's usefulness in
single military campaign. If the
railway and pipe line are laid to aid
in the Soudan war they will remain
as commercial factors after the wal
is over, and, having been found tc
, work well on line a few hundred
miles in length, it is naturally tc
, be expected that III a few years the
locomotive and it's accompanying
line will have as effectually displac
ed the camel and the oasis in The
desert portions of Africa as the for
mer has the old stage coach and The
roadside tavern in this country. L
it be urged that this is counting
chickens before they are Matched
the retort may be made with a goot
deal of force that the man of ont
hundred years ago who would hav,
prophesied palace cars and pipe line
during the present century would
have been regarded as lunatic.

The London ExplosIon.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-The landlord of the
Rising Sun Hotel, which is near the scene
of last nights explosion on the under
ground railway, says that the shock was
felt severely In his house. He heard a
loud rumbling noise, and the house seemed
to be shaken almost to its foundation. He
was leaning over his bar at the time and
was lifted nearly foot from the floor.
Large crowds of excited people remained
at the Kings Cross and Cover street sta
tons until late hour. The Telegraph
says, in relation to the explosion, that it
proves renewed activity on the part of the
dynamiters and the necessity Of renewed
vigilance by the police.
Col Majendie, Chief Inspector of Explo-
siTes, has made an examination of the spot
where the explosion took place, but failed
to discover anything that would afford him
clue to the identity of the perpetrators Of
the outrage. A passenger on train that
left Cover street for Kings Cross Station
a rev minutes before the time of the ex-
plosion, says he saw q man, who wore an
ulster with a fur collar and soft wide
awake hat, enter the compartment next to
that in which he sat, The man carried a
parcel, apparently of considerable weight,
which was wrapped in cloth of American
manufacture. Shortly after the train left
Cover street the man let down window
of the compartment with loud slam. He
got out at Harrington street and walked
away. He was then without the parcel
The passenger thought the stranger had
forgotten it, and looked over the partition
between the compartments to see If it was
there, and discovered that it was gone.

NEWARK. Jan. about 2 o'clock this

building was almost totally destroyed. The
flames spread to the cigar Glory of David

were badly damaged. The total loss is
estimated at 10000, which is covered by
insurance. Several families were obliged
to leave their houses in their night clothes.
About the same hour fire broke out in
the carpenter shop and planning mill of
Samuel J. Castles, No. SO Summer avenue,

Woman Hides HERSELF to Cast sus-
pIeion ON Her Husband.
Mr.. HOLLY, January s. Considerable ex-
element has been created recently in
Camden ana Burlington counties over the
mysterious disappearance Of Mrs. J. Mack
lin, colored woman, Of Milford. It has
Just leaked out that the woman hid herself
with view of throwing suspician of MUIR
der upon her husband for having ADAM
doned
Some time ago an old colored man,
named Peter Sheppard, was arraigned be-
fore Magistrate Clemant, charged with arson
and the poisoning of horse. The charge
was preferred by the father of Isaac Mack
lin and was substantiated By Sheppard's
wife. After hearing the case the Justice
dismissed it, as he could discover no foun-
dation to the charge. In the meantime it
was learned that Isaac Macklin was in ex-
ceedingly close intimacy with Sheppard's
wife. Immediately after dismissal Of the
case by the Squire, Mrs. Sheppard went to
live with Macklin. Sheppard then became
so exasperated that he had his wife arrested
on the charge of adultery and she retaliated
by, it is claimed, trumping up charge
against her husband, fully determined to
send him, if possible, to State prison. The
untiring efforts of Mrs. Sheppard and
Macklin to send the husband of the former
to State prison became SO well known that
several prominent gentlemen of Haddon-
field and vicinity interested themselves and
assisted Sheppard. Both cases came up
before the May session of the Grand Jury,
Of the Camden County Courts, but both
were ignored.
About three months ago Macklin's wife
left him. Her mother states that her
daughter said few days before she left
that she was going out to service, but that
she disappeared and said nothing as to
where she intended to go. The old lady
has repeatedly gone to Macklin's relatives
about the matter, but could CLEAN no in
formation from them. She was found on
Saturday living as domestic on the farm
of Japhet B. Deacon, on Wood Lane, about
two miles from Mount Holly, and then
confessed that she had hidden herself so as
to throw suspicion on her recreant hus-
band and to put him into trouble.

why tho Jersey Cary and Bergsn Will
RIOT KulAend their Lipe 70 Bergen Point.
The extension Of the Jersey City and
Bergen Horse Railroad Company's track
into Bayonne has been aeitated, but it is
settled that the extension viii not be made
this season al any rate. It comes about in
thiSway:
The officers Of the local road were Sc
Iectedt by Major Oliver and the citizens of
Bayonne to extend their lines through
Greenville and Pamrapo, into and through
Bayonne to ssThe Point" Such d connec-
ton did at one time exist between this city
and Baydnne, but it did not pay. and for
that and other reasons was finally aban-
doned. President 1hurston, on investi-
eating the matter, in response to these
new solicitations, was satisfied that such
an enterprise could not be made TO pay in
some years; but ia the hope of doing some
thing that would benefit the public, finally
consented to entertain the proposition. It
was finally arranged that the new car line
should run in Beyonne through Avenue g.
An ordinance was drawn authorizing the
Jersey City and Bergen Company to lay
tracks from the Central Railroad crossing,
through Humphreys street to the old
Dummy Road, to South street, to Avenue
r, to First street, and SO down to the
Point. This was not exactly the route at
first agreed upon, but MIR. Thurston and
the directors accepted it. The ordinance
had no sooner been introduced than the
Bayonne Councilmen began watering the
Jersey City and Bergen as though it were
anxious to continue its line. The Corpor-
alton Counsel, at the command Of the
Councilmen, imposed one condition after
another, and the local road agreed to them,
till finally tho Bayonne officials wanted to
insist upon the line being extended clean
down to the Point, over the line of the
Old Dummy Road. There were obstacles
to the following of that route that could
not be overcome. It lay between main
thoroughfares and was on neither, and it
would involve vast amount of street
grading The scheme, in financial sense,
was unpromising enough if the tracks were
laid on street thoroughfares. Back in the
woods and not easy Of access the patron
age of the extended line would not be
worth talking about. Mr.. Thurston could
not agree to any such proposition. The
Council would not bulge an inch, and SO
Boyonne will go without her needed street
railroad.
