The Haytlen War Nearing the End.

A special received via New Orleans,
dated Port au- Prince, August 18th, says:
The Haytien gunboat Detfze has Just come
in, bringing the body of Gen. Dardenac,
Legitlme's commander-in-c chief, and the
news that the whole of the south is lost to
Legitime. The fight is now entirely be-
tween Port au- Prince and the remainder
of Hayti, and the people engaged here in
business hope that the end is near. The
loss of Dardenac is serious, but the loss of
ali the important cities in the south is dis
astrous to Legitimes cause.

An Oil Blaze at Pittsb,rr.

The large oil refinery of A. L. Miller, at
Pittsburg. Penn, was burned eany the other
morning. Perry Heuck, the negro watch
man of the refinery, was found lying in an
injured and dazed condition. He could
tell nothing of the explosionor how b.
escaped. Thomas Miller, engineer of the
establishment, was missing, and it is
thought he persisted in the flames. Start
ing from gasoline, which was the cause of
the explosion, the flames spread IN all di-
rections, $4,000 barrels of oil being pblaze
at once. The destruction of the refinery is
practically total. The plant was val he'd at
s225.ooo, and the insurance, If Any, is
light. The bones of a human being, sup
posed to be those of the missing engineer.

Justice Field Arrested.

Justice Stephen J. Field, OF the United
States supre me court, was arrested at San
Francisco, on charge of being n party to
the killing of David $. Terry, at Lathrop.
Cal. Application was made at once on
writ OF habeas corpus, and the matter was
heard by Judge Sawyer of United
States circuit court, who granted the writ
and released Justice Field on $4,000 bail.
The warrant for Justice Fields arrest was
issued by justice of the peace at Stock
ton on complaint of Mrs. Sarah Althea
Terry.
Deputy Marshal Maggie, who shot and
killed David S. cry at Lathrop was re-
moved from the Jail at Stockton by Sheriff
Cunningham an taken to San Francisco
OF a special train. This proceeding was
based upon writ of habeas corpus issued
by Judge Sawyer. Of the United States
circuit court, directing Sheriff Cunning
ham to produce Nagle in the circuit court
at that time. Nagle was taken from the
Stockton Jail at an early hour in order to
avoid the excitement which his removal
during the day might have occasioned.
Attorney Mcclure introduced District
Attorney White, of San Joaquin county,
and said they appeared conformity to OPP
pose the release of Maggie by the federal
authorities. The attorney claimed it was
beyond the jurisdiction of the federal
courts to take from the custody of state
official a person who had been arrested for
the commission of crime within the state
jurisdiction and against the state laws.
Judge sawyer's reply was that the action
of the court was based on the fact that
Maggie was United Sta es officer perform
ing his duty when the killing occurred.
Arguments upon the merits of the law
points involved were agreed to be had
later.

ELECTRIO 0AN0Kna.


Mr.. Edison's discussion in the North
American Review Of the dangers of electric
lighting ought to receive the attention Of all
interested. He gives 1t as his conviction
that electric wires operating the alternating
currents will be more dangerous to life under
ground than above ground, and that 1t would
be as rational to bury mass of nitro -glyce-
rine in the heart Of a city in order to reduce
its dangers as to bury wires charged with
this agency. There is, he says, no known
insulation which will con fine these high-ten-
sion currents for more than limited period,
and when they are placed beneath the
ground, with the present system of con.
contacts, the fusion Of wires, and the forma-
tion of powerful electric arcs, which will sx-
tend to other metallic conductors In the
same conduit, and q whole mass Of wires
made to receive this dangerous current and
convey it into houses, onices, stores, etc. It
is thus evident that the dangers of such cir
cults are not confined to the wires which
convey the high tension currents, but other
wires conducting harmless currents are liable
to be rendered as deadly in effect as the
former. 1t is evident, also, that single
wire carrying current at high pressure
would be q constant menace to the safety of
all other wires in the same conduit. Even
though these dangerous wires be placed in
separate tubes in the same conduit with
other tubes, the risk is not diminished.
1t is evident that the best way to deal with
electricity in cities has not yet been devised.
1t is to be hoped that not many more will
have to be killed before 1t is.

A movement is ON foot to form a George

the promoter being the Rev. George WASH

eldest representative of the Durham branch

"There is," he writes, "much information
concerning the history, ancestry and records
of life Of General Washington shat has been
collected by individuals, which has never
been focused. During the last few years,
together with my brethsrs, Captain Wash

papers Of interest will probably be scattered,
lost or destroyed. I therefore propose that
those in England interested In the matter

ire this interest, preserve the documents
collected, and meet from time to time to
compare experiences and exchange views.
