New YORK, October 17-A dispatch
from Newbury, N. Y, says: While the
north-bound fast express on the West
Shore was passing through the tunnel
half mile west of West Point early this
morning the whole structure, undergoing
repairs, suddenly collapsed. The bag
gage and express cars were TOT 'ly
wrecked by shower of boulders. ne
passengers groped their way out OF the

thirty feet. Nobody was hurt in the &C.
cident, but the damage to the tunnel is
great.

THE ELDERS DISAGREE.
southern Presbyterians Divided ON
the Evolution Question.

COLUMBIA, s. c., October 1.-THE
fight of the Southern Presbyterians over
evolution has broken out afresh. 1t will
be remembered that the Rev. DIR. Wood
row, of the Columbia Theological Semi
nary, was removed for the teaching of
evolution. Last week the Charleston
Presbytery passed resolution forbid
ding any member from criticising the
action of the General Assembly in con-
demning Woodrow. Now comes the
State Synod and condemns the action of
the Charleston Presbytery and directs it
to reconvene at once and correct its pro-
ceedings. "A rebellion and appeal to the
General Assembly is probable.

STARVING FARMERS.
Destitute Condition of the People iM
Ramsey County, Dakota.

MINNEAPoLIs, October II. - M. J..
Horpmann, of this city, who has been
investigating the condition of the farmers
OF Ramsey county, Dakota, reported as
starving to death, returned last night.
He says seventy families are absolutely
destitute of food and fuel, and something
must be done Immediately. The condi-
ton Of the people is beyond description.
Men, women and children are in rags
and have not cent of money in the
world. Their crops were totally de-
stroyed by frost in August, and their
land, stock and farm implements are
mortgaged. Absolute distress prevails
everywhere.

PROGRESS OF THE AGE.
A Discovery Made to Render Wood
Flre.PrOOf.

ITHACA, N. Y, October H. Edward
Atkinson, the Boston economist, says a
New England genius recently discovered
a cheap method OF dissolving zinc by
eombiding it with hydrogen and produc-
ing a solution called zinc water. This
liquid applied to certain woods. notably
white wood, makes it absolutely fire-proof
at low cost. Atkinson regards this dis
covery as one Of the most important of
the age, one that will surely revolution
ize fire insurance, and will immensely
decrease the loss by fire.

THE CALAIS EXPLOSION.
The Effects Much More Terrib
Than at First Reported.

CALAIS, October 1.-THE force OF the
explosion of petroleum yesterday on
board the steamer Vile de Calais, from
Philadelphia, tore off the deck and partly
carried away the sides, but only the for
ward portion sank. Fire was raging
fercely in the portion above the water.
Other shipping lying in the vicinity was
much damaged by the explosion. 1t is
feared that the loss of life is great. Por-
tions of a dozen bodies were found lying
on the quay; arms, legs and heads were
scattered about in shocking confusion.

SAN FRANoIsco, October H. The
steamer Bertha arrived here to-day from
Kodiak, Alaska, with ninety Chinese on
board, who were taken to Alaska from
this city last spring to work in the salmon
eanneries. The master Of the steamer
stated that the Cinnamon had not been

Collector Hager refused to allow them tc
land, and Immediately telegraphed tc
the Treasury Department at Washington
for instructions.
THE DOOR IS SHUT.
WASHINGTON, October IA telegram

ment to-day from the Collector at Port
Townsend, w. T., as follows: The
Chinese on the Ancon went from the
Columbia river fish canneries to work in
the fish canneries of Alaska, and are
now on their homeward bound trip"
Assistant Secretary Maynard tele-
graphed: "The Department cannot au-
fhorize the landing of the Chinese on

New York, October 17.-Among the
immigrant arrivals on the steamship
Spain, to-day, was a party of destitute
men and women sent over by the Duke
of Buckingham, England. Work was

Some were sick and none had money.
So the whole party will be returned to

A. c. Campbell.
There were calls for Mr.. Campbell, and
he advanced within the railing. He
thought that nothing he could say would
add to the happiness of the occasion. He
spok of Doodle, and made some exceeding
ly sound remarks on this subject. He said
that the fact that money had been freely
used in territorial campaigns in time past
was a lasting disgrace to the territory.
The speaker sincerely hoped that this
would not be a Doodle campaign. Nj.
Organ could and should be sent to CON
gress without the expenditure of a cent
beyond the legitimate expenses of the
campaign. He was making a sacrifice,
and the people were dcubtlessly willing to
make sacrifices for him. The audience
evinced a hearty endorsement of Nj.
Campbell sentiments.

man of the convention, was a member of
the last territorial council, Is publisher of
the Rock Springs Miner and candidate
for clerk of Sweetwater county.
Dan Breese, of Albany, is a veteran
Union, Pacific engineer. He says that
Democratic victory is certain in Albany
this year. Dan, by the way, is the engi-
neer who assisted in thwarting the train
robbers at Dana last August.
E. P. Holcombe, Of Carbon, is Union
Pacific storekeeper at Rawlins. He is
the leader of Carbon county's young De-
mocracy and a bright and shining light.

combe accompanied him in this visit to
the capital
Louis Miller, of Albany, is Wyoming's
efficient fish commissioner and one Of the
territory's leading German citizens.
Charles Z. Blydenburgh of Carbon is a
leading citizen of Rawlins and well known
throughout the territory. He has just re-
turned from the oil region and is as en-
thusiastic as ever over that section. 1t is
to Mr.. Blydenburgh that many Demo-
cratic victories in Carbon county are almost
solely due.
]. F. Ludin Of Fremont is publisher of
the Lander Mountaineer and is interested
in cattle. His paper is an aggressive
exponent of loyal Democracy and a very
good institution for the section in which
it is published. Mr.. Ludin is certain that
Fremont will give Perry Organ a hand
some majority.
VIM. Daley of Carbon is an old timer.
At present he is experimenting the con-
struction of the territorial penitentiary at
Rawiins in a manner which makes the
contractors wish that a less particular or
less honest man had been appointed in
his stead.
j. S. Harper of Crook, travelled quite a
distance to attend the convention and
brought Mrs. Harper along. The gen.
tleman satisfactorily served a term as
clerk for his county.
l. G. Miller of Carbon is a heavy wool
grower whose Democracy is of the proper
sort. He has been sheriff of Carbon
county and can have any Office within the
gift of the people up there simply for the
asking.

clan, a tall, fine looking man who would
attract attention any place and he is as
genial as he looks. Uinta is a county

she will repeat.
f. H. Harvey, of Converse, is a thor
oughgoing business man, dealing in real
estate and maintaining an insurance
agency at Douglas. He is very enthusi-
astic over the nomination.
H. s. Elliott. of johnson, formerly of
this city, presented the name of Mr.. Or
gan to the convention. He is a young
attorney, but one of the leading members
of the Wyoming bar, a splendid orator
and a fine gentleman.
T. D. Dempsey. of Carbon, is vel
known here, having been connected with
the Mirror during its publication. He
has become deservedly popular during his
residence in Rawlins.

a New Kind of Toast.

one morning this week IL of the
new Senate Committee clerks, a brand
new importation from a New England
State, seated himself az a table in the
Senate restaurant and ordered some tea
and toast, and his order was promptly
filled. AS soon as his %expectant gaze
behed the toast he declared that it was
not Of the quality he desired; that he
wanted toast with holes in It," Be-
Ing III doubt what was wanted, the
waiter reported the matter to the pro-
prefer, Mr.. Page, who, anxious to
please everybody, ordered the cook to
prepare another plate of toast. Ano-
ther order of nice, crisp, buttered toast
was soon placed before the young clerk.
Then his indignation became very
apparent. He sized the plate of toast
and went with it in person to the pro-
prietor and complained bitterly of his
service, and declared that he had twice
ordered toast with holes in it," and
the waiter had brought common bread
toast both times. When asked to ex-
plain what he meant by ''toas. with
holes in it, he said. Like that which
Mr., - had for breakfast yester-
day" The waiter remembered that
Mr.. - had been served with waf-
fes on that occasion, and thereupon,
without further unnecessary delay, the
young man got his ''toast with holes in
It,"

AN IMPORTANT FACT.
An Easy Cure for Weak, Tired and
Nervous Feelings.

Persons complain thar they arc weak,
tired and exhausted; they have no appetite,
no strength, 10 life or ambition to work;
they become irritable, cross, blue and dis
couraged; in some cases there are pains and
aches In various parts of the body, and
there is often indigestion, dyspepsia, belch-
ing of wind, dull head and general dis
pirited feeling. Sleepless, restless and
wakeful nights follow. Neglect of these
symptoms results in excessive nervous pros
tration or paralysis, with numbness, trem-
bling, cold feet n legs, prickling sensa-
ton and weakness and WEAKNESS of the
limbs.
/ Thousands become Frustrated, paralyzed
or insane by neglecting the first symptoms,
/ not knowing that the nervous irritability,
groom of the mind, loss of memory, nerv.
GUS weakness and depression show an ex-
haustion of nerve force which will, unless
the proper restorative remedy Is used, re-
suit in utter mental collapse and absolute
prostration of nerve and physical power.
Save yourselves from these terrible re-
suits while there is yet time by the use of
that wonderful nerve invigorator and
health restorer, DIR. Greene's Nervura
Nerve Tonic. 1t is a purely vegetable
remedy, and may be used by children or
the most delicate Invalids with absolute
certainty of cure. Its effects are truly
wonderful, and it is only necessary to use
it to be convinced of its marvellous restora-
tive and strengthening powers. Do not
fail to use this remedy, Tor it is the greatest
medical discovery of the century, aud an
absolutely certain cure will result. All
druggists keep it. Price 81 per bottle. Be
sure and get DR.. Greene's Nervura Nerve
Tonic; a k no other, for this remedy has
no equal. II your druggist does not have
1t, he will get 1t for you. Its d~iscoverer,
DIR. Greene, SO West 18th St, New York,
the great specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, can be consulted free,
personally or by letter. Use his great
remedy and write him about your case.

Happy Homes,

Much has been written and said about
how to make home happy. The meralist
and the preacher have ~hackneyed this
theme until it would seem nothing more re-
manned to be said. But tho philosophers
have gone far out of their way to account
for the prevalence of ill-assorted couples
and unhappy homes, and have overlooked
the chief cause. Most of the unhappiness
of married life can be traced directly to
those functional arrangements to which
women are subject. In nine cases out Of
ten the irritable, dissatisfied and unhappy
wife is a sufferer from some 'female COM
plaint." A trial of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, will produce more domestic
happiness Than a million sermons or philo-
sophical treatises. 1t cures all those Pc
culiar weaknesses and ailments incident to
women. 1t is the only medicine sold by
druggists, under a positive guarantee from
the manufacturers, that it will give salts
faction in every case, or money will be re-
funded. See guarantee printed on wrapper
enclosing bottle.

A Correspondent of Science says :
The Duke of Argyll in his "Reign of
Law lays it down IN italics that ''no
bird Can ever fly backward" He
mentions the hummingblrd as appear
ing to do so, but maintains that in
reality the bird falls rather than flies,
when, for instance, he comes out of a
tubular flower. But this morning,
while watching the motions of a hum
m%ipgbird, it occurred to me to test this
dictum Of the duke; and, unless my
eyes were altogether at fault, the bird
did actually fly backward. He was
probing one after another the blossoms
of a petunia bed and more than once,
when the flower happened to be low
down, he plainly rose, rather than fell,
as he backed out of and away from it.
l stood within a yard or two Of him, and
do not believe that I was deceived. 1t
may not be amiss to addthat the Duke of
Argyll's objections seem to bs purely
theoretical, since the "Reign of Law
was pub i,hed in 1866, and it was not
till 1879 that the author came to
America and saw his first living hum
mingbird.

The Marquis dc terronay recon-
mends a somewhat novel method of
mixing the hypo and alum bath, his
plan being as follewt One lItre of
warm water is poured on q mixture of
$50 grains of hyposubhate of soda and
40 grains Of alum, thu whole being well
stirred; a piece of wood being more
convenient for this purpose than aglass
rod. A small proportion of sulphur is
deposited, but after this has been re.
moved by filtration the solution is
ready for use, and 1t is said that such a
bath may be used more than a hundred
times without being colored. As the
fixing bath containing alum is more or
less liable TO deposit sulphur, it is advise
able to filter it Immediately before use.
and In order to guard against the poss.
ibility Of a deposit Of finely divided
sulphur remaining on the surface of
the negative, it Is well to pass the
hand lightly owe the film while the
plate is in the wash water. The alum
and hypo bath does not appear to cause
the sulphuration Of the image. and we
see no reason to suppose that negatives
Hxed in the composite bath are likely
to be less permanent than those
which have been fixed in the simple
hypo bath.

One of the French societies in IL Q
interest Of the industrial classes has
recommended the suppression of all
Icircular saws in workshops, where
practicable. The reasons given for this
action are that such saws are extreme
ily dangerous for workmen; they require
much more force than other saws; they
cut a broader line, and consequently
produce more waste.

In the course of IA discussion on arti-
ficlal fuel before the Hanover section
of the German Society Of Engineers
it was stated that experiments made by
Herr Z. Fischer with Ignite containing
80 per cent, of water and having a
~calorifc value, when coming from the
mine, OF from 1000 to 1900, have when
dry from 5000 to $500. The best tenn
perature for coking Ignite seems to be
450o Celsius, when the aid Of steam is
introduced. In this way 80 per cent.
Of the weight of the moist Ignite is OBJ,

The measurement OF temperature If,
as we all know, of extreme Importance
in various chemical and manufacturing
operations. The ordinary mercurlal
thermometer will answer for every
purpose within certain limits ; but
when it becomes necessary to measure
the melting point of different metals,
OF the heat given out by different forms
of furnaces or lamps, the Thermometer
must give place to an instrument OF
another form altogether. Hitherto no
really satisfactory instrument has been
produced for the exact measurement
Of high temperatures; but Professor
Tait, at a recent meeting Of the Royal
Society of Edinburg, s~tatedthat from
experiments he had made with those
rare metals, iridium and ruthenium,
he believed that he would be able to
form from them a standard thermo-elec-
tric couple which would answer the re-
quired conditions.
