ing, however, for the nomination for Post
master instead, and his point was gained
when he had brought the nomination
within his grasp. He declined to run,
and it is understood that Mayor Kerr is
the work of his hands. "Pop" Russell,
as old Joe Russell is affectionately called,
became a candidate against him in the
postmastership race; but Curran had Sena-
tor Mcpherson with him, and his appoint
ment follows as matter OF course. In
person Curran is small. His face is very
red; and he wears blonde mustache.

BALTIMORE, July 1.-THE double sculI
race at Bay Ridge to-day, was witnessed
BY only about two thousand people, but it
was by far the most interesting of the
series. Teemer and Courtney had the best
start, but Ross and Lee followed closely
with Riez and Hamm a bad third. Ross
and Lee Tapped the leaders at the first Of
the three turns on the three mile course,
but Courtney and Teemer gained half
length in getting around the stake. The
two boats kept close together until the
third turn was made when Ross and Lee
spurted ahead Some hard pulling was
done coming down to the flag and the lead
ers struggled manfully for the advantage,
bat at the finish Ross and Lee put about
half length between their boat and that
OF Teemer and Courtney. and won in nine
teen minutes. Ritz and Hamm came in
FIVE lengths in the rear. The betting was
fifty to thirty in favor of Teemer and Court

4 TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
killing Two People ana Completely
Wrecking a Building.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July ia special
from Wellsyille, Ohio, says An upright
boiler in the boiler-shop of Joseph Fassett,
on Second street, exploded this morning at
7:30 o'clock with terrific force, wrecking
almost the entire building. Through
miracle none of the employees were in
jured. Adjoining the boiler-shop is the
residense of Mrs. Maggie Driscall whose
two little girls, Clara, aged five years, and
Mary, aged three years, were playing in
their door-yard opposite the boiler-room
when the explosion occurred, the little
ones were caught and held fast by the
debries of the building, while the scald-
steam poured over them. Clara was dead
when taken from the ruins, her body hav-
ing been literally cooked. Mary was ter
ribly scalded and may not recover. The
boiler, a cone one, weighing probably
ton, was blown through the roof, fully 300
feet into the air, and buried itself in a
hole in back yard on Second street, 400
feet from the shop. No cause as yet is as
signed for the explosion.

The Chiselhurst Tribune still continues
to boom Albright in fact. that seems to be
its only object in life. In its last number
it gives its readers portrait of its candi-
d ate. II the Tribune had half as much in

be nominated before the convention met.
But then somehow the rest of the State
don't seem to agree with the Tribune. The
political skies are not Albright.

An agent of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals the other day
undertook to kill horse. Before he sue
cseded he emptied the contents of one re-
yoiver into the animal and had to borrow
another. A man who stands directly in
front of holse and cannot kill him with
less than seven shots should get permits
sion to go down to the Sea Grit Range and
prsctice while. In the meantime his So
ciety should prefer charge against him.
Cruelty is none the lass cruelty that it is

Something about james Curran. Jr.,

The life of James Curran, Jr., who hes
just been made Post Master of Hoboken,
in place of Leon II. Kendrick has not been
an exciting one. He was in early manhood
one of the active fire ladies, and became
known throughout the city by his connec-
ton with the Fire Department, of which
he was Chief for many years. His posi-
ton gave him great pull in the Fourth
Ward of Hoboken, and he has never lost
it. He became active in politics, and has
been known as boss ia Hoboken for
some time back. He is now Chairman of
the County Democratic Committee. He

CHICAGO, July 17.-An evening paper
says: An elderly gentleman, well dressed
and with general air of wealth about him,
was an inmate at the dock at Justice Meech's
Court to-day. IL place of pleading, and
even before his name was called, he hand
ed the Judge business card. One glance
at this, another at the bearer and then she

the name .'John Martin" on the blotter.
That was not the mans name. He is a
very prominent New York dry goods man,
and was found intoxicated on Adams
street, wandering in an aimless manner.
He was taken in charge by the police for
his own protection, and showed thorough
appreciation Of the fact when he awoke
this morning.

resolution of appointing official papers for

The others are without circulation of any

Voluntarily remember the fact, that he is

Nor should he be permitted to assist in

Republicans who sre holding Office under

John Chinaman has found way of
utilizing the sparrow and at the same time
getting rid of him. He clips the little fell
lows wings, sandpapers his beak down to 8
rszer-like point ana then trains him to
fight A main of this sort was fought
at Belleville the other day. Forty-fiye
pairs of birds were weighed in and each
fight lasted four minutes. At the end one
of the birds was dead-ior the sparrow is
game bird, despite his size. AS matter
of fact, if sparrow could be megnifed to
the proportions of a mule the mules hind
leg would have no terrors for him. He
would take the mule in his talons, HE away
to the top of a telegraph pole with him
and hurl the denuded bones at the heads
OF the small boys who now annoy the
sparrow with impunity --and other weapons.

Local militiamen who are ambitious to
become crack rife shots are polishing up
their pieces in preparation fer the target
practice which will be conducted for five
or six weeks at Sea Grit. Some of the out

the range. The first city command to go

yesterday morning. Each command is al
lotted four days. The succeeding dates
for the First Regiment are July 26 and

We read in the fairy books stories of
mermaids who posed as angels of fortune
to some love-lorn, pocket-broken adven-
turers but here is one who has reversed
the rule and brought bad luck to an old
newspaper friend, the plucky Col Glider.
He had made up his mind to start ono day
last week to find the North Pole, when
this ill-omened maid of the sea swan into
a court of justice to charge him with hav-
ing robbed her. His arrest kept him be-
yond the time when the last whaler for
the frozen circuit left these parts; and his
project is temporarily defeated Perhaps
his Arctic ardor will have cooled before it
is time for the next whaler to sail, and he
may conclude not to risk his life among
the glaciers and ice-bergs for science and
notoriety. If he had gone he might have
sacrificed his own dear self to his enthusi-
asm; and the mermaid may after all have
redeemed her fairy-story reputation by
being blessing in disguise.
