4 New Style Of Cars.

The Northern Pacific has just received
twenty new colonist sleepers from Bar
ney, Smith & Co. that are models OF
beauty, convenience and comfort, and
contain many Improvements over the
ordinary colonist sleeper, or SO called
tourist car, generally in use. Each car
has fourteen sections, with gentlemen's
toilet room in one end, and the ladies'
room, supplied with Handicapped wash
stand and force pump, in the other. In
one end of the car is Baker tire-proof
heater, which heats the car by means OF
hot water conducted through pipes. In
the opposite end Of the car is a cooking
range surrounded by good kitchen facil-
tiles. Opposite this range is twenty
gallon cooler for drinking water; also a
large tank, holding seventy gallons OF
water tar general use.
These ears are finished in natural
woods,-ash, maple and butternut,-
beautifully polished, and at night are
lighted up with eight Acme lamps exact
ly similar to those in use in Pullman
sleepers. The sections are divided by
sliding haad-bOards, effecting privacy
not possible in the present style of cars
where the sections are divided by wire
netting. An ingenious arrangement of
the seats enables them to be extended
fiat or with head rests when prepared for
bedding, and under each seat is a box
in which can be stored bedding or small
baggage In each section there is also
provided.a movable table similar to those
in use in Pullman cars, which is extreme
| " convenient for many purposes. All
cars are provided with curtain rods.
notwithstanding the fact that the
Northern Pacific employs porter to
look after these sleepers, all holders Of
second class Montana and Pacific Coast
tickets are allowed to use them free OF
charge. The Northern Pacific has a
greater number of these sleepers in serv-
ice than any other transcOntinental line,
their total equipment now amounting to
SO cars. It is clear that in providing
for the comfort Of the travelling public
the Northern Pacific, with its new vestl-
buIed dining and sleeping cars and
superior accommodations for second
class passengers, leads all competitors

Sir Edwin Arnold said he admired ire
mendously the vivacity, push and dash
of American newspapers, and he thought
they would be about perfect if they were
more serious and digniied. But if they
were more serious and dignified they
would not have their 'vivacity, push
and DASH" They would be as dull, in
short, as London newspapers.

coal and coke will not save them to the

Barn-Burners At Work.

The barn OF d. Henry Rieman in
Adams county, Pa, near Emmits-
burg, Md, was destroyed by fire OF
incendiary origin last Thursday
morning; loss $1,000; insurance 81 900
in the Agricultural Insurance Com
pany, of Watertown, n. Y. The prop
erty destroyed was in line of the dozen
or more barns mysteriously burned
recently on the border Of Frederick
and Carroll counties, Maryland and
the fire is believed TO have been the
work of the same fiends who have be-
come such q terror to the farming
community Of that section.
The instrument usually used in set
ting fire TO the barns is size of two fists
and covered with wet phosphorus.
In the centre of the ball was an open
ing about the size of an egg and filed
with powder, into which was stuck
quill for the purpose, it is thought. of
preventing the absorption of moisture
and thus keeping the powder dry.
This device is placed in some secluded
place and when the phosphorus dries
ignition follows and an explosion OF
the powder which completes the work.
These barn-burners, who are evil

White Caps or Bald Knobbers Of the
West, il not SO numerous, are evil
IDENTITY extending their field Of opera
tons. They began their nefarious
work last summer in Wareheim coun-
ty township, York county, Pa, near
the Maryland line. They displayed
no discrimination in the selection of
barns to which they applied their
mysterious torch. The rich and poor,
Democrat and Republican, foreigner
and native, none were spared and all
shared alike. Vigilance committees
were as powerless to hold them asst the
large rewards offered by suffering in
surance companies were to bring the
burners to justice.
Some days ago Mr.. Levi Herr, living
half a mile from Hanover, received
notice to remove his stock, as his barn
would be burned He made close
examination, and found in a hay NOW
box containing powder and q parti-
ally burned candle. Surprising he
had frustrated the plan of destruction
he did not remove anything. AT noon
on Tuesday the building was suddenly
overspread with flames, entirely des-
troying it and all its contents. On
Saturday Jonas Flickinger, living
near New Oxford, received notice to
remove his stock, as that barn was
doomed to destruction. 1t is credibly
reported that Hiram Trostle, a store
keeper in Arendtsville, has been mott
fed to remove his stock of goods, as
the building would be burned on the
22d instant,

At this writing, Wednesday even
ing, the Senatorial situation il in a.
bad a muddle as ever-maybe worse
Last Friday and Saturday Mr.. Kenns
received every Democratic vote ex-
cept that OF Dorr. and came within
one vote of election. This seems to
be the limit of his strength, as Dorr
swears he will never vote for him, and
without DORIS vote the Democrats
can not elect. On Monday, a mum
Der OF Democrats, realizing the hope
lessness of trying to elect Mr.. Kenna.
and believing that the party had
faithfully supported him as far as
was wise, endeavored to elect some
other Democrat. Fourteen Of them
voted for other persons, but some of
Kenna's friends say they will never
vote for anyone else while the world
stands. SO the situation, boiled down,
is this: Kenna's friends cannot elect
him, and they will not allow anyone
else to be elected but him.
If the session shall expire without
a Senator having been elected, the
Govorner will have authority to APP
point one. But the question is, who
will be Governor-Wilson, Fleming or
Goff9
There are rumors that Governor
Wilson, Senator Carr and General
Golf are trying TO make a dicker by
which they will be mutually benefit
ed, but what the scheme is is matter
of conjecture.
1t is very likely that all the start
ling developments will be reserved for
to-day, when the Legislature must
adjourn by limitation.
