The building is enclosed, and most of
the plastering is done in the third and
fourth stories. The painters have be-
gun on the exterior, and the plumbers
are fully up with their work. Mr.. and
Mrs. Whitney. of the Carlton, have
been employed by the stockholders to
select the furniture and are now absent
to get terms from the larger manufac-
turers in Portland, Tacoma, and Seat

soon after the Legislature convenes.
The quality of the gas furnished
just now is not up to the usual excel

in a week or ten days the new retorts
will be set, the purifiers in good order,

Consumers should bear in mind that
the capacity of the works has been

very naturally results in an impaired

A NOVEL DAMAGE SUIT.
The Peculiar Charge Against A New
York Elevated Road.

A New York special to the Philadelphia Times
says: A queer suit for damages has been brought
against tie Elevated railroad company by John
involving question that has never been de-
cided before. Last January Mr.. Mcintyre and
his wife boarded . 9th avenue az" train at
an uptown station. At the Christopher-street
station Mr.. Mcintyre and his wife left the train
and started to go down the stairs to the street
Close behind them came a drunken man. When
Mr.. Mcintyre had crossed the first landing the
drunken man, just behind him, stumbled and
fell. His head struck Mr.. Mcintyre between
the shoulders and hurled him down the stairs
like a ten-pin. Right on top of him came the
gashes on the side of his head, broken arm, q
sprained leg, two badly bruised ribs and vari-
Gus black and blue spots.
For several weeks afterward he was kept abed
nursing his injuries. While he was counting
his bruises he determined that the elevated
road should be made to pay. He consulted
lawyers, who advised him not TO bring the suit,
thinking he had no cause Of action; that his
case was without precedent.
A careful examination Of the books showed,
however, that in two or three cases the courts
have held that common carriers are responsible
from the moment the passengers foot touches
the stairs until he is of their property again.
The notice against drunkards being admitted
on the IL" cars is held to be proof that the
company recognizes the danger there may be
in allowing them to travel with other passen-
gers. 1t is therefore contended that az the
company was aware of the danger and its serv-
ants took no precaution in this instance to
avert 1t, the company is responsible. Mcintyre
sues for $4,000.

WESTERN TRAIN ROBBERS WORK
Passengers Relieved Of Their Money
and Jewels.

The Rio Grande Western train, No. 8, known
as the Modoc, was held up near Crevasse, CAL,
Tuesday night by train robbers. Two of them
boarded the baggage car at Thompson Springs.
They climbed over the engine, pointed re-
volvers at the heads OF the engineer and fire.
man and compelled them to stop the train
They forced the fireman to attempt to chop
through the door of the express car and made
the engineer bring bag to hold the plumber
Messenger Willis was ready with a magazine
shot gun and two self-cocking revoivers.
The fireman was unable to chop through the
boiler iron door, SO the robbers fred a dozen
shots through the car. Messenger Willis lay
on the floor and was not hit The robbers
dared not show their heads at the broken
windows lest they should get shot.
They gave 1t up and joined two other rob-
bers back in the other cars. The four went
through the train with their revolvers drawn
and gathered $500 and twenty watches. One
passenger put his head out Of the window to see
what was going on and the robbers sent
bullet through his hat.
Most OF the passengers hid their valuables
successfully, those losing being too frightened
to hide them. A posse has gone from Green
river. Two deputy United States marshals
went out yesterday from Salt Lake with blood
hounds.

Something About Teeth.

The teeth are a very peculiar part of our or
ganization. They do not belong to the bony
skeleton, but like the scales of the crocodile
are appendages of the skin. Their enamel is
the hardest animal product in nature, and is
almost pure phosphate of lime, thus resemb-
ling mineral. Unlike every other portion
OF the body, the teeth come in two distinct SETS
separated by an interval of between four and
five years. The first set consits of twenty
teeth, the second of thirty-two. The second or
permanent" set are larger and harder as well
as more numerous, than the first. As the Sec
ond set-with the exception of the wisdom
teeth-are formed before the first are shed. a
five-year-old child may have at the same time
nifty teeth IN his head. The visible part of
part hidden in the jaw the fang. the
part just within the gum the neck. A tooth
consists OF the enamel, the dentine or bony
substance beneath the enamel. the pulp. which
fills an internal cavity extending from within
the crown down to the extremity of the fang.
and the cement, which covers the fang some
what as the enamel covers the crown The
pulp contains nerves and vessels, which enter
the fang at its point. The dentine consists of
microscopic tubes into which the pulp pene-
trates to nourish it and give it sensitiveness.
The cement is covered with membrane analo-
gous to that which covers the bones and min
listers to their support and which has the func-
ton OF promoting their renewal when they are
partially destroyed This cement membrane
will unite vitality to the jaw another tooth
which has been inserted In place of one ex-
tracted Dentists now avail themselves of this
important fact. As the teeth consist largely of
lime. they are readily acted on by acids. This
means, of course, that acid generated in the
mouth or the stomach by fermenting food se-
cretions rendered acid by disease or acid medio
cines administered improperly by physicians
may cause more or less destruction OF the
teeth. The most common cause of decay
doubtless, is to be found in the bits OF
fermentIng food left between the teeth
This fact suggests the need OF the toothpick
after meals and the thorough washing out of
the mouth with the aid of tooth brush before
retiring for the night. Dentistry has made
wonderful progress within the last fifty wears.
No tooth which has even a stump left needs to
be sacrificed. Amalgam filings are now much
used in preference to gold, as they are equally
safe, easier of introduction, and cheaper.

COMMISSIONS Mason Locked Up.

At Grafton, w. Va, there was quite sensa-
ton Sunday afternoon by the discovery that
Hon. j. W. Mason, commissioner of internal
revenue, was locked up in one of the court
house vaults. The commissioner arrived at
Grafton from Washington on Saturday to at
tend to some legal business and Sunday had
occasion to go to the court house to look up
some old records which were slowed away in a
vault. He, absentmindedly, pulled the heavy

distant part of the building and it was not
until about o'clock in the evening that Mr..
Mason realized the predicament he was in. He
climbed up to small ventilating window and
put in the next hour yelling for assistance.
After he was discovered it took half an hour
to find the man who had the key to the lock.

Bucolic Sayings.
From he Boston Courier.

The phrases Of country people are often
picturesque enough, and one who takes the
trouble to pick them up is not long in making
an interesting collection. As a contribution to
such collection may be offered couple of
remarks made by woman in the rural dis
trlcts of Maine. In speaking Of a neighbor
who was rather remarkable for her thinness
the old lady observed in her squeaky voice and
with the usual twinkle to her eve:
We'll, yes; Mirandy amt got no more flesh
head"
On another occasion, when the old lady was
considerably exercised concerning the doings
and sayings Of a neighbor who often excited her
disapproval, she broke out with:
And as for that Maria Jones, she's Jest Q
piece Of the old boy left in the world for seed
and that's jest what she is and nothin' else"

Why Gen. Lefevre Never Married.

From the Chicago Herald.
Few people know why Gen. Ben Lefevre Of
Ohio never married. After the rebel army sur
rendered he was stationed at Salisbury, n. c., .
and at this time Ben was a dashing, handsome
6-foot major of, perhaps, $50 pounds. Among
the people Of quality in the town was family
named Carr. The old gentleman had been
major In the confederate army and at one time
was chased 10 miles through the Carolina sands
by Yankee sergeant. Both Travelled at .
double-quick and in the race the major wore
his toe nails down so that they dropped of after
he was captured. Naturally this embittered
the family against the Yanks, and Carr's three
daughters swore never to speak to one. Major
Lefevre was on the generals staff at this
period, and one day Carr came up TO head
quarters complaining that some soldiers had
broken into his house and robbed him. He
wanted guard sent around and invited Major
Ben to call at the house and look over the
premises. Next day Lefevre dropped around
while Carr was absent; he walked into the par
lor and there saw very pretty girl of about
seventeen. The major bowed and introduced
himself, but the young lady turned her back on
him. The gallant officer was not to be re-
pulsed in this way, however. Calico was worth
about 50 a yard in those days and this was of
extra quality. Pauline Carr held out for a
week and then succumbed to the majors Wig
orous siege; at the end of six weeks they were
engaged to be married. Then Lefeyre went
north to his home in Ohio and broke the news
to his family. As he expected, there was a big
fuss made, and the women folks were sspeci-
ally furious that he should want to marry the
daughter of q rebel. They made it SO warm
for Ben that he decided to postpone his mar
riage until the storm abated somewhat, so he
wrote the gIrl to this effect. Three months
later, to his chagrin and disappointment. he
received marked paper informing him of
Pauline's marriage to Yankee quartermaster
who had stayed south. The general never re-
covered from this love affair and has remained
a single man. He is now attorney for Cal
Brice in New York, and rumor has it that he
asked Mrs. Frank Leslie to marry him two
years ago, but the story lacks confirmation.

Married on Her Deathbed.

At wilkesbarre, Pa, Tuesday night Miss
Maggie Kuhl of that city, lying, it is believed,
on her deathbed with typhoid fever, was united
in marriage to William Grifiths, young man
of that city. Miss Kuhl is young woman Of
about twenty years of nge and for some time
past has been keeping company with Grifiths
A short time ago they had Q quarrel and Crit
fths left the city, Only few days after Miss
Kuhl was taken sick and her illness soon de-
veloped into typhoid fever: Tuesday it became
evident that her chances Of recovery were very
slight. When she was informed Of this she ex-
pressed the wish to see Grifiths before she
died. One of her friends went to Scranton,
where he was at work, and brought him to this
city. He was taken TO her bedside and an af-
fecting interview took place. To prove his de-
votion TO her he proposed marriage then and
there. Alderman Marshal Of the sixth ward
was sent for and united them in the presence
of number Of friends. Miss Kuhl's condition
yesterday showed no improvement and ittle
hope Of her recovery h entertained.

FOUR BURNED TO DEATH.
Destruction of Naptha Launch-Three
Children of the Proprietor Victims.

About O'Clock yesterday afternoon by
ISLANDERS near the boat houses at the foot of
Ferry street in Buffalo, NY, heard two explo-
sions in quick succession from the boat house
just being built by L. B. Croker, superin-
tendent of the New York Central stock yards,
in which his pleasure yacht, the Cedar Ridge,
was stored. Immediately following the explo-
sion the boat burst into flames, which soon
made a furnace of its interior.
simultaneously with the explosion two or
three persons were thrown into the water as if
from the force Of the discharge. Caleb Tolsma
got boat and picked a young woman, Miss
Mclean, aged twenty-eight, from the water.
She was badly burned and taken to the homeo-
pathic hospital. At this time the form of Mr..
Crocker's young son was seen standing ON the
boats deck against background of fire. Chas
Schwelgels seized pike pole and extended it
toward the little fellow till it almost touched
his breast, at the same time crying to him to
grasp 1t, but the little fellow seemed paralyzed
and in moment fell back into the fire and
burned to crisp. Next attention was directed
to John Rugenstein, a carpenter, clinging to a
raftsr just over the blazing boat For a few
moments he hung desperately on his perch,
and then, as If supplied by the heat and suf-
located by the smoke. loosened his hold and
dropped, another victim, into the furnace be-
low.
Two other children of Mr. Crocker-Leonard
Lemuel. a son aged nine years and ten months,
and Ethel, daughter, aged eight years and
nine months-also persisted in the flames An
other girl-Charlotte-agedf fourteen was blown
into the water and rescued therefrom and sent
along with Miss Mclean to the hospital The
yacht was what is known as naptha launch, run
by naptha tor fuel.
It Is supposed that the accident was caused
when the engineer Lit the match for ignition of
RYnina1nn of axyh; oh
had leaked out. The family was preparing to
go off on pleasure trip, and Mr.. Croker had
taken his four children and Miss Mclean, a
lady from Detroit who is stopping with his
family, to the river for an excursion. Crocker
himself barely escaped with his life He is
almost insane with grief. His wife has been ill
for some time, and this grief will probably kill
her. The condition of the other daughter and
Miss Mclean was reported serious. but not
necessarily fatal, at late hour last night

time for fling an answer obtained by William

The judge says: ''The fact that this defendant
has been able 70 svoid answering the complaint
from April II 10 August 5, without alleging any
reason except the professional engagements Of
his counsel, is certainly remarkable. and think
that notwithstanding the engrossing character
OF his counsers professional engagements that
they should now devote a small portion Of their
time to the preparation of the answer in tins
case. The defendants presence does not seem
to be necessary to enable his attorney to pre-
pare and serve his answer. and do not think
there should be any delay. This motion will
therefore be granted and the order of July 70
