men greet the rising sun and turn
their backs upon the declining god of

Condition of Cattle.

While the Winter has been unus-
ually severe in the Western part OF
the State, stockmen do not antici-
pate much loss, although advices
agree that many old cows have sue
cumbed. From stockmen, who
have lately come in from the East,
the Gazette also learns that snow
lies deep on the ranges and in the
valleys, and should the storm con-
tinue, and a freeze-up result, a
great many cattle will 60 under.
The loss will be heavier on the
smaller stockmen who are unable to
prepare for Winter feeding. In
Squaw, Independence, Ruby, Clo-
yer, and several other valleys, which
are occupied by wealthy cattlemen,
an ample supply of hay has been
stacked, and it will have to be an
unusually severe Winter to cause
loss.

THE MANSION EXPLOSION.

Further Particulars of the
Accident.
The explosion of the hot water
boiler at Bowers Mansion turns out
to he worse than reported in yester-
days APPEAL. Last nights Tribune
has the following:
1t was on Monday at about
7:30 o'clock A. NJ, that the hot
water boiler and brick furnace in Mr.
Reads kitchen exploded with ire
mendous force, demolishlng furnace
and boiler and hurting pieces of the
stove in all directions with terrible
effect. The flying pieces struck Mrs
Read, knocked her down, and broke
her right arm above the elbow, and
burned and scillded her lower limbs
badly; and almost blew all her
clothes off. A daughter of
John D. Winters, aged 8 years, was
passing through the room when the
explosion occurred and received ter
rible injuries. She received a COM
pound fracture of both bones of the
left leg below the knee with deep
and ugly flesh wound. The left arm
received terrible compound frac-
ture of both bones, about half way
between the wrist and elbow. with
deep, ugly cash where the break is.
Another piece struck her cheek and
cut a triangular wound clear through
to the inside of her mouth; one of
her ears were very badly burned
also her hands were scalded and
burned some. DR.. Dawson was
telegraphed for and arrived on late
mail train, and proceeded at once to
set the broken limbs and dress the
wounds, and with the aid of kind
neighbors quickly made the suffer
ers as comfortable as could be e.
pected under the CT 'cumstarces.
The cause of the explosion is be-
lieved to be he running of ice cd
water into the only party filled
boiler os boiling water. with no
opening or the steam to escape. The
room where the accident cccu. red
was perfect week Of bricks, K or-
tar, broken iron ard dishes, water
and mud. and al the windows were
broken out of both d;n;ng-room and
kitchen. 1t is hard blow to both
families. Mrs. Reads nervous sys-
tenn has received a severe shock, but
with care she will pull through all
right. The little girl is hurt severely,
she bore her suffering heroically. 1t is
only two months since her mother
died in Fresno, CAL MANSION.

WISE AND MALONE.
A Sensational Account OF the Scrim
age on Tuesday Night.

a Sensational Account OF the Scrlm-
age on Tuesday Night.
CHICAGO June 2O.-Ths Tribune this
morning publishes highly sensational ac-
count OF the proceedings before the COM
,nittse on credentials late last night in the
Wise- Malone contest After describing the
scene Of disorder, Of which its reporter
caught glimpse when the door Of the om-
mittee room was suddenly opened
te admit a policeman, the Tribune
says it learned that the row was
ssarted between Wise and Malone.
While Malone delegate, Allen, was talk
ing, Brady and Wise frequently interrupted.
Malone and Wise were sitting not moro
than five feet apart on the same side OF the
table Wise said something in an under
tone to Malone, which no one caught, but
Malone at once jumped up and reached for
Wise The latter let out for Malone, but
the members sitting between them pre-
vented any damage. Both were talking
excitedly, but attention was in moment
diverted from them by Congressman
Libbey, one of the antiMahone men, who
struck ct Allen. Accounts differ, but most
Of the members seemed to think Allen was
hit He was still on his feet and
Libbey cursing him. Allen struck
back, and confusion prevailed. Sew
eral Of the Malone people went for
Iibbey and bore him to the floor. All the
- coloTed men in the room took part, and the
mass of arms and legs in motion was such
that the peacemaking members hardly
dared to approach. Elk Congressman Brady,
who is himself pugnacious, was one of the
Wise following for whom the Malone
heuchmen seemed to feel the greatest ami
mostly. Don't let Brady get away"
yelled a voice that sounded like Mahones,
and rush was at once made for him A
pair of western men at once closed in and
saved Brady from much harm. The peace
makers finally succeeded in pulling most of
the fighters apart, but it was not until the
policeman at the door, who rushed in, had
cracked several colored heads with his club.
One man, said to be named Mott, was espe-
cially ugly, and could not be quieted till
Sergeant-at-arms Smith seized him by the
throat, exclaiming: "Stopl stopw and then
threw him half across the room. When a
semblance of order was restored two or
three members were standing ON the table
The policeman and sergeant-at-arms had
squads of beligerents under their care,
while the chairman was keeping close
watch on Malone and Wise. Wise ex-
pressed his regret at the occurrence, ex-
planning that surs had been cast on him
that were unbearable. Malone said moth
Ing. Libby also spoke half apologetically,
saying in the heat of the moment that he
thought that Allen was striking at Wise,
but did not think he himself had really hit
Allen. The committee felt that something
Of this kind was necessary. Several mem
GERS had proposed to expel Libby, and if he
lad not made this explanation he would I'M
joubtedly have been expelled. The desire
10 avoid publicity, however, was strong. 1t
was agreed that the row should be kept
secret

Il Was Only An Idiorn

A teacher In one Of the grammar schools
was explaining to her class about idioms
Some time later one of the children han
pencd to use the expression "Troth and I
will" The teacher asked where the child
had heard that. The girl said her mother
sometimes used the words. ''Well. it's an
Irish idiom," said the teacher thinking that
thus she could impress the meaning of the
word idiom. A few days later a good
natured Irish woman came to the school
and asked for the teacher and said to her:
'Now, | know you wouldn't and didn't say
anything of the kind, but my little daughter
says you said l was an Irish idiot"
The woman was very sensible, and the
teacher saw that there had been mistake
and she said so. The little girl was called
up, and there and then she learned just what
an Irish idiom is. The mother helped get
the idea into her head.

THE sUNDRY CIVIL BILL
a Bitter Attack Made Upon the Ian,
Office

OIuC6.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-In the house to-
day three-quarters of an hour was spent III
an effort to displace certain private pension
bills, which had been made the special order
for to-day, and their consideration was
finally postponed for two weeks. Tho
house then went into committee of the
whole on the sundry civil appropriation
bill. The item relating to special works
was made the occasion for a political de-
bate, Messrs Laird and McShane of Ne
braska making a bitter attack upon ex-
Commissioner Sparks of the general land
office, and upon the present administration
of the land Office.
Messrs. Holman, Randall, Weaver and
Townshend defended both Sparks and the
administration. After a long contest, Mr..
Hermann Of Oregon succeeded in securing
a modification of the clause relating TO the
surveys of public lands SO as to remove the
restrictions in price in the case of noun
famous and wooded lands While discuss
ing this clause Mr.. Randall remarked that
the present administration had seen fit to
drop many Of the reforms lnau-
gurated by Commissioner Sparks.
Said he: "All of the economies,
all Of the reforms Of Gen. Sparks seem to
have taken wing i don't know why. y
Without completing consideration of the
bill the committee rose and at ) o'clock d.
m. the house took a recess until o'clock this
evening, the session to be for consideration
of bridge bills
