INSTANTLY KILLED.
The Result Of an Explosion I'm the
Wine hester ArmOry.

A New Haven Comm telegram says ::
Miss Kate Taylor was instantly killed to-
day by an explosion at the Winchester Ar
mory. With two companions she was at
work sitting illuminate for cartridge
primers. She had about two quarts OF the
primers on plate before her, and in some
war one OF the primers exploded, proba-
bly from bit of illuminate striking some
hard substance. A terrible explosion fol-
lowed, all OF the primers going Oh together.
Miss TayIor's skuh was blown off Just
above the eyes, the top Of her head striking
The wall OF the room. Her face, arms, and
body were terribly burr ed and mangled.
The windows OF the TO nm were blown out,
and the benches were hurled to the floor,
but there the damaged ended.
The two girls who had been working ut
Miss Taylor's side had very narrow es-
cape. Most OF the force Of the explosion
must have been directly upward, for they
escaped with few bruises and bad ner-
yous sheck. The department has always
been considered a safe one by the company,
and accidents in 1t have been extremely
rare.
The officers OF the company say that it is
impossible to tell with certainty what
caused the explosion. Miss Taylor was
twenty-five years old. She had been at
| work at the armory for several years, and
was regarded as careful aud experienced.
Medical.EXamlner White viewed the re-
mains and ordered the body removed to
Miss Taylor's home on York street.

How n Is Received.

The reception which has been accorded
10 the bondhOlders' suggestion that they
are ready 10 make q new settlement OF the
virginia debt shows that the people "stand
stilI on The eternal foundations OF justice.
As we have heretofore stated, the McCUL-
IocH bin proposed only an average annual
interest OF per cent, and ye' was
rejected ct the ballot.box by ma
jority Of thousands. That bill caused
MALONE TO carry the Legislature by two
thirds majority, sent both him and RID
pLKBERGER to the United States Senate for
six years, and finally resulted in fixed
determination on the part Of the people to
pay the sum provided for In the RIDDLE
BERGER bill. or nothing. These last
two words ought TO fall upon listen.
ing ears in England. The bondhold'
ers, separated from lis by the At
Iantic Ocean. and not understanding
the nature OF our dual form OF govern
mcnf. nor the temper Of the voters OF this
Commonwealth, rely upon such repreienta.
tions as those made by Mr.. COOPER, OF their
own country, and persist in making war
upon Virginia which, II it could be success
full, would nevertheless end n oisastrouSly
TO them as SAMSON's successful attempt to
pull down the temple upon hi enemies re-
suited to him.
Let us explain: II Virginia should be
compelled by treaobery among her own
sons 10 accept coupons for taxes, the Trca-
srry would at once be 6ooded with them,
and there would be no money collected
wherewith to keep the wheels OF Govern
inert in motion. one of two things would
follow Either the taxes would have to be
doubled or else all laws levying State taxes
would be repealed and the counties be a.
sessed with the money needed TO peIpetutte
our State government. Let Us suppose
that the foImcr would follow, and the
taxes he doubled, How long would it be
before the taxpayers would find out that
all the money they laid ont for coupons
was money thrown away; And finding
out that fact. how long would they con-
tinue to pay one tax for the bondholders
and another for the support OF their State
government! 1t must not he forgotten
that there is TO law to force anybody to
pay his taxes in coupons. All who pay in
coupons do so Of their own free will and
accord. One years experience in paying
double taxes would result in unanimous
resolve upon the part Of the taxpayers to
use no more coupons.
Or LET us suppose that the Legislature,
rendered desperate by the prosecutions OF
the bondholders. should determine 10 rely
upon the counties, instead OF upon the tax.
payers, for the money absolutely needed to
prevent the dissolution Of the body polite.
Where, then, would be the coupons!
What would be their valuei Nothing;
absolutely nothing. They would be dead
stock In the hands of their holders.
In a word, to use General BUTLETs
phrase, the bOndhOlders will "gain great
defeat" the moment they open the treasury
and flood it with coupons. The people
willneed no further instruction. They will
see at once that they eau no longer "foo'
with coupons.o

Sanitary Science.

Progress OF Sanitary Science" says:
"Sir r. Spencer Wells. as president OF

The proQrcss which had been made since

Of our population. was shown by lower

Instituted only in 1861. Dealing, then,
with the various subjects TO which the
institute had given attention, he divided
them INTO five groups-Q) those relating to
the training and health OF the population;
~ 10 their social comfort ana Well'Deing;
Isl to the prevention Of disease; a. to the
care Of the sick; ard lastly those relating
to the disposal Of human refuse and re-
mains. Commenting on these matters, he
urged that the cutlery about the dangers
from women taking up mems work was
breath wasted. Young women suffered
more from want Of mental occupation aud
from deficient exercise than from over
work."
When we consider that sanitary science
is as yet IN Ms infancy the probable benefits
TO humanity from future investigation in

are Of interest TO every community, and
speak volumes in favor OF careful attention
