Special Correspondence OF the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, Feb. 5.--As new case
OF smallpox was reported to have been
taken 70 the pest-house yesterday, a
GAZETTE correspondent set out this
morning to learn, II possible, the exact
extent OF this loathsomc disease IN this
city. " was currently reported on every
corner that n man from III Paso got off
the train here yesterday with smallpox,
and was promptly taken In charge by
| City Marshal Arnold and conducted to
the pest-house or shanty on the Mcin-
ney road, just outside of the city limits
This same shanty is the one in which the
other patients died and in which the
now conyalescing patients are kept,
II Ia u fact that no one appears to have
seen the man, but from the way everyone
talked about the matter " was very plain
that they believed that their statements
were true. On asking for the city mar
snail, 1t was learned that he was No home
sick, His residence was called for by
telephone and Mrs Arnold very kindly
answered the call aud stated that City
Marshal Arnold knew nothing Of the case
whatever
Or Carter was then sorn and he stated
that he knew nothing of 1t either.
| On investigating the older cases
! II was learned that negro man
named Dean arrived in Dallas sometime
since, and was found within a few days 20
have the smallpox There were six 9TH
ers in the house with Dean, all OF whom
took the disease, three Of them dying
thorefrom, including Dean, the last one
| dying abont one week ago yesterday.
The other three patients are reported TO
be rapidly conpalescing, Others were OK
posed before IL was asCertained that
Dean really had the smallpox, but no
signs OF new cases nave as yet
made their appearance. There is not
much apprehension OF an epidemic
OF the smallpox here, as there
has scarcely been winter for several
years that Dallas has not had one or more
cases OF this loathsome disease 20 con-
tend with The following article ap-
peared in the News of this morning;
The city physician, DR. Carter, was
called upon yesterday by News reporter
TO learn his views on the question of n
pest-house, which OF late has been receiy-
Ing attention ut the hands of the public,
The doctor said
"rhcre ~ certainly strong existing
| necessity for suNh provision. There Is
not In lthc city now case OF smallpox
OF which the authorities have any knowl-
edge, but the disease may be brought
here by any train coming to the city. II
Is a serious fact that many of the Western
towns and some OF the largest ranches In
communication with Dallas are suffering
from this loathsome disease; in fact, MeXi-
can cities are never free from II, and so
the Injection may be brought here at any
day. Another thing In the nature OF Il

The Maine Elections.

The result Of yesterdays appeal to
the people of the State of Maine was
decisive victory for the Republic
cans, and a new proof of the MASTER
ly leadership of Blaine. There were
four tickets in the field. the RepubIi-
can, Democratic, Prohibition and La
Dor parties having placed candidates
before the people. The Labor party

did not put a gubernational candi.
date in the field =; but their votes adj
ded to the confusion of issues, and
still further split the old parties.
The Prohibitionists made bitter
fight, with the avowed object of de-
stroying the Republican party. Yet,
in spite of this deadly attack on the
Republican party, the State has gone
Republican by decisive majority.
The Republican majority is larger
then it has been for the last eight
years, with the exception of 1884.
when Mr.. Blaine was the nominee
for President. 1t is nearly double
that of the majority in 1882, an off
year like the present. Mr.. Blaine
stands higher in the esteem of the
Republican party to-day than ever
before. He has not only displayed
his splendid qualities as leader, but
he has turned the local election in
Maine away from the side issues
which threatened to impair its sig
nificance, and has made the victory
in that state the first gun of the great
campaign of 1SS8.-Bolto. american,

yond the first beginnings of life on
the earth, we can even picture to
ourselves volcanoes ejecting matter
with yelocities of 10 to IL miles per
second. With such velocities flights
of elected particles would pass be-
yond the earth's attraction, and if
she were the only body in the uni
verse, such. elected matter would
travel away from her never to return.
But, although such expelled bodies
would never return to the earth, they
would not escape from the solar sys-
tenn. To drive them forever away
from her the earth would have to
impart much larger velocity-an
average of about 26 miles per second.
The greater number of the expelled
bodies would travel thenceforth in
an orbit round the sun, crossing the
earth's track at or near the place
where they were first sent forth from
their parent planet. One may almost
say that this origin of many meteo-
rites and meteor system is forced up
on Us by the evidence. Still it would
be negative if we found that volca
noes do not eject matter at all re-
sembling meteorites in structure. The
reverse, however, is the case. Rang
ing the products of volcanic election
in order according to the amount Of
iron they contain, and ranging me-
teorites in like manner, we find the
two series conciding over the greater
portion of the longer-the volcanic
series. We might not indeed have
known how closely the most ferru-
ginOus volcanic products resemble
the iron meteorites in structure but
for the accident that NordenskjOId
discovered a mass which he mistook
for an iron meteorite, but which is
found now to be really 8 volcanic

The Crop Summary.

The Chicago Farmers Reuie,0 in
this weeks issue will print the fol-
lowing crop summary: 1.-THE frost
which prevailed throughput p8E,.
night of the past week, caused very
little damage to the growing corn.
The reports indicate that while the
drouth and continued hot weather
seriously injured the general pros
poets of corn, it also accelerated the
ripening of the grain, and in sections
of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Min
nesota portion of the crop has suffi.
GENTLY matured to be beyond danger
from frost. The reports indicate that,
as a whole, the corn crop will be out
OF the way of the frost within fifteen
days, if not attacked prior to then,
and a large proportion of the crop
cannot be seriously menaced even
now. The general prospects for the
output of corn show no marked i'm
proyement. The tenor of the reports
from all the States, except Ohio, In
diana, Michigan and Minnesota, con-
tinue to predict short crop. In the
four States named the prospects con-
tinue favorable for a full average
yield, while majority of the coun-
ties estimate the yield at from As to
60 percent,
"Reports from one-half of the coun-
ties would indicate a general average
of 81 percent. Twenty-six Ohio
counties estimate an average of 81
per cent. Kansas, Missouri and Wis
consin give the promise of about one.
half the usual yield. The reports in
dictate that the pastures are rapidly
drying up, although in portions of
Illinois and Iowa late rains served to
renew the grass somewhat. Early
planted potatoes are generally good
but late planted are poor and in many
fiat failure. The hogs are
reported with only scatter
ing cases of cholera as vet"
