. IMPORTANT TRANSFERS.
The Hot Springs, Lamb Track, and Con.
troll Of the Electric Light Purchased
by q Substantial Firm.


| by a Substantial Firm.
The papers transferring all right
title and interest in the HALEY Ho,
Springs to Robert Strahorn & Co.
of Chicago, were signed yesterday
approved by the administrator of the
estate, and the money consideration
rs, Ooo) deposited in the First Ma
tional Bank here, to await the con
6rmation Of the sale by the Probate
Court. This will require about IL
days. No valid objection to the sale
is expected to be urged, as the
amount to be paid is certainly high
enough, everything considered.
If the sale "goes," the purchasers
will at once begin extensive improve
ments at the Springs, and will spare
no pains or expense to make it the
most delightful resort and sanitarium
in the west. The fact that Robert E.
Strahorn is the managing partner and
will give the improvement and ad.
vertising of the Springs his personal
attention, is the strongest guarantee
Of all this.
The above.named firm has also
purchased the Lamb ranch, which
joins the Springs property OH the west,
and which was absolutely necessary
to the proper development of the
resort. This ranch consists of $50
acres, of which 1G0 acres have been
bought and paid for (s3,5OC), and
the remainder has been leased for five
years, with the privilege of purchas.
ing at any time for stipulated price.
This is q great bargain for the pur-
chasers.
Simultaneously with the closing of
the above deals Messrs. S,rahorn &
Co. purchased a controlling interest
in the Haley Electric Light Works,
the consideration being private, but
variously estimated at $1,000 to &c.
900. The new owners will at once
make the much-needed enlargement
to supply customers who have been
unable to secure the light, and, also,
change from steam to water. power
thus much reducing the cost of oper-
alton. A wire will also be run to tie
springs, and that institution thus sup
piled with this most desirable i'm
provement.
The TINES congratulates the
people of HALEY upon the transfers.
The investors have ample means to
carry out everything which they
undertake, and are willing to be salts
fed with reasonable return on their
investment. Their enterprises will
grow and develop, and contribute
materially to the prosperity Of the
country.

Waterman on the outside who could see
everything in the store. The Office was d.

trance TO the adjoining building, and went
70 the second floor where they cut through

building in which the safe was located. The
carpet was removed and noselessly as pos

TALKING AROUND THE EARTH.

Conversation Carried on with Comfort
Between London and Vancouvers
Land
The Pail Mall Gazette contains a dispatch
headed, "Telegraphing Extraordinary
interviewing by Cable across the World"
The article begins: "An altogether unpre-
cedented feat in telegraphy was per-
formed when ap interview took place by
cable between our special commissioner,
now at Vancouver, and the editor, at the
Offices of the Commercial Cable Co The
origin of the interview was desire by our
special commissioner to afford the Old
World and the New a striking manifesto
ton of the extent to which time and space
had been annihilated by the electric tele-
graph and cable. The exact distance trav-
erSed by the electric current conveying the
messages are as follows: By wire, London
to Bristol, spur cable, 40 miles; by spur
cable to Waterville 500 miles; by cable
from Waterville, Ireland, to Canso, n. s.,
2, $50 miles; from Canso to New York and
by the Canadian Pacific Railway telegraph
lines to Vancouver, 400 matchmaking
total of 1919 miles. A conversation was
carried on-allowing for breaks produced
by a storm that interrupted the wires first
between Ottawa and Montreal, and then
west of Winnipeg -consecutively for three
hours. The wire outstripped the sun by
eight hours, the time being l o'clock in the
afternoon at Vancouver when it was 9
o'clock at night in London. After half
hour of instructions between the editor and
the correspondent, the latter said:
'''I can see the Pacific as | write In a
few DAYS shall start for a 1900 mile voy
age IN another English shlp-the Parthia-
over another ocean, yet l am able to talk as
quickly and easily as if we were speaking
through tube at Northumberland street at
our Office"
There were more than 1000 miles of land
and water between the two gentlemen. Still,
a question was asked and the answer was on
its way in the space of four minutes, the
distance traversed by the swift messenger
being nearly Il, 900 miles,

The White House Cook.
From the Neu York Tribune.

FROM THe NeU IOfH LTbOUte.
The President has the same cook that he
had last winter, a Frenchman by the name
of Pinee. who was formerly assistant chef
at Delmonico's Twenty -sixth street restau-
rant inNew York, and afterward chef at
Delmonico's place in Hanover square. The
President engaged him through John Cham
berlain shortly before the meeting of the
last session of the Forty-ninth Congress.
There is all amusing story told in connec-
ton with Pinee's engagement. The Presi-
dent sent for Chamberlain one day, and told
him that he wanted a cook. Chamberlain
replied that he didn't know of any one in
search OF place, but if given alittle time
he would look up one. This he did. When
the President went to New York to attend
the funeral of Gen. Arthur, Chamberlain
brought Pinee around to the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. where the President was staying.
Mr.. Cleveland got up from his chair when
Chamberlain and Pinee entered the room
and shook hands with them. More than
that. he introduced them formally to all
uresent. including the members OF his Cab
met, and treated them, IN TACT. as ne would
have treated any other callers Then, ex-
cusing himself from the rest of the com
many he sat down with Chamberlain and
Pinee. and made arrangements by WHICH
the latter came TO Washington, his salary
being fixed at $500 mouth for six months
In the year, with the privilege Of remain
ing az The White House the remainder OF
the wear at 500 month, or OF going 10
some summer resort for the season.
Pinee was 30 overcome by the honor Of
being received as a guest and being intro.
duced by the President 10 the members Of
his Cabinet and other visitors that be had 20
tell Tie story 20 all bis friends, and ask
them 10 drink with him 10 the Presidents
health. The result was that Monsieur Pinee
slept that night IN the police station.

TO USE THE EXPLOSIVES.

Many burglars prefer the use of an explo-
sives, possibly because they are not well
enough up in the business to open safe, with
out them. In such cases the hole is drilled
SO that the explosive can be placed against
the lock- The hole thus drilled is filed with
the explosive, dynamite being generally
used, and then the cap, which is about the
size of a 42-caliber cartridge, is inserted
and set off. This cause the locks to fall,
and the jimmy is then used to force open the
door
