DID Nor KNOW IT WAS LOADED.
"A curious accident happened to Mr..
James Orrick, of Cumberland, during
his visit here as a delegate to the Y.
NJ. c. A. Convention. He was the
guest of Mrs. G. D.. Buckles, and on
Saturday was on her front porch, en-
gagged in fixing a slide to be used in
the stereoptican, at the performance
TO be given that night. He had a
cigar in his mouth, about halfsmoked,
and while he was very intently en-
gagged, and looking closely at his work,
a loud explosion took place in the
cigar, and a piece of metal struck him
in the eye, infiicting quite a painful
wound. There had evidently been a
dynamite cartridge wrapped in the
cigar. We are glad to say that no
evil results will follow. DR.. Baker
examined the eye and pronounced the
pupil uninjured. MI. Orrick brought
the cigar from Cumberland with him,
fortunately, so that no one in Mar
tinsburg can be suspected of having
attempted to blow up the Y. M. G. A
Statesman.

WHAT TOMMY DID.o-John Hab-
berton author of "Helen's Babies''
says: "'What Tommy Did, would
be worthy ofthe serious consideration
Of parents if it were possible for any
one to be other than Wldty D1trthfaA
yer the saintliness and dreadfulness
of the little hero. Tommy is an ideal
boy-one of the kind which are
by turns uncomfortable and angelic,
which changes parents from young to
old, and from old to young again
many times a day. We pity parents
who fail to read this book; there is
no time in the day, nor any time in

THE FRIGATE OMAHA.

A Costly and Very Nice Vessel, But She Can
Only Carry Coal Enough for Three Days
Steaming.
NEW YORK, May 24.-The United States
steam frigate Omaha dropped anchor off
Twenty.third street yesterday morning.
and, soon after, Secretary Whitney and
some naval officers boarded her. Lieu
tenant Hunker, of the Navy Yard, reports
that the inquiries of the Secretary showed
remarkable familiarity with nautical
matters. All the many questions he
asked were pertinent. The result of the
inspection may be roughly thus summed
up: The Omaha has been so extensively
repaired that she is now nearly new, and
about as good as modern wooden war
ship can be, except in regard to ma
chinery, which is old-fashioned, and
takes up twice the room modern machin-
cry would take. On account of scarcity
of room she can carry but 150 tons of
coal, and as she burns sixty tons day
she couldn't steam across the ocean. She
has abundance of fancy woods, electric
lights and other new and costly improve
ments. Secretary Whitney will soon Of
ficially tell what he thinks of her. In the
meantime he will look up the bills for re-
pairs and try and find out where the
| S545. 20S went to.

BBetter Than a Consulate.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Several weeks
ago the Siamese Consul at this port asked
Manager Jones of the Bankers & Mer-
chants Telegraph Company to pick out
five flrst-class telegraph operators to go
to Slam. Mr.. Jones has picked out the
men from operators in this city, although
he had applications from all over the
country. The men are native Ameri-
cans, and each was obliged to show a
physicians certificate OF good health.
Unmarried men were reject
ed, in accordance with instruc-
tions from Siam. The five men
have signed a three-years' contract which
calls for 800 month, with board, lodg-
ing and all expenses paid. They will be
stationed at Bangkok, the capital oi
Siam, under the Kings special patronage.
They are going to introduce the Morse

as the natives to become operators. The
men leave to-day for San Francisco with
their wives. Thence they sail to Hons

A Move Toward Good Goyernment.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 24.-For some
time past there has been much popular
feeling on the subject OF elections and
local government here, and it has been
known that movement was on foot to
organize committee of 100 citizens, re-
gardless of politics, similar to the COM
mittee in Philadelphia, to secure purity
in elections and good local government.
The work has been going on secretly, and
the committee was finally organized yes
terday, when il issued declaration of
principles. This proclamation declares
that the time has come for thorough re-
form in the municipal government OF
New Orleans and that no office should be
conferred as reward for party services.
The ass ociation declares it's purposes to
be the maintenance of the purity of the
| ballot; the nomination and election OF
| the proper candidates for office; the
prosecution of those guilty OF election
frauds. The proclamation is signed by
| 100 citizens including the best merchants,
bankers, capitalists, manufacturers, law
| yers and others of this city.
