Special Order.
House of Representatives.
A RE-RKFKRKNcK

House OF Representative
A BE RKFKRKNcR
After rather unsatisfactory debate on
the Adams bill to allow the territorial
board to place values for stock taxation
instead Of the chairman of the commits
sioners of each county. as is the present
method, the measure was sent back to the
house standing committee. There seems
10 be 4 great diversity of opinion on this
bill and an agreement seems unlikely.
MORE PAY DAYS.
A favorable report has been made OF
Mr.. Evans bill providing for pay days
cverv two weeks.
wAsHINaroN's MEMORY.
The event of the legislative day came
out Of . discussion on the motion to ad-
iourn to Monday on account of Washing.
toms birthday. The motion prevailed.
By request Attorney Groesbeck presented
resolutions on the subject. This is what
he read:
And the member thereof are exceedingly
VI ieG1AlAtion's dull routine,
And ~ the week has nearly expired.
And ~ q token OF marked respest,
10 the patriot, soldier and president,
Who was nrst In war and first In peace;
Az no other excuse is evident,
That we drop our business for = season,
And matters that grave or gay are reckoned,
And turn ourselves loose without rhyme or
reason,
TO leave our contitnent. in the iurch.
AZ 70 whether We Will bring forth ANEW coun-
To mourn the death Of the dental bin;
And TO be Cursed for the coyote bounty;
To hear the complaints OF county oficiais,
To try to explain Why w did or didn't
To the man particularly hard to please;
10 gather up businss:' tangled ends; V's''
To see the enemies we have made,
To be damned BY faint praise by all our
To show that wyoming will soon be a state,
That her place she will take in the notionai
And when our star shines on the glorious
We shaIffib be sternaily out of the soup;
To show that we rave been here TO do our
And to prove 1T by the Tribune, LEADER and
And for an excuce for mis- little sky-IarkIng,
10 lay the blame on George Washington;
And therefore as there is no other motive;
For our leaving our posts, that we can dis
cern,
That this honorable house do adjourn.
MI. Kellogg's response was the best
effort Of his house life. He fairly scared,
but was good enough to refrain from the
usual panesyric ON Washington. His
remarks sparkled with originality and es-
tablished bis intimate acquaintance with
the history of the Country's Father. AT
tor bis brilliant speech Mr.. Kellogg was
warmly Congratulated.

A GREAT LAKE OF FIRE.
Tho Earth uphcavcd by n Great NaturN
 Gas Explosion.

CfScfSNArr, O., August l2.-Late cdi
 tions of tue evening papers contained
 bare announcements of a wonderful ana
 st. rtlihg spontaneous explosion of natura
 gas not far from Waldroh. Shelby County,
 Ind, about 15 miles from this city, almost
 on the line of the Big Four road. To night
 from passengers on incoming trains fuller
 details were received.
 The scene of the unheaval is near the
 mouth of Coins Creek, IT miles from Shel
 byville. About o'clock tremendous ex
 plosion. rocking the entire country foi miles around. frightened the people great ly. As they approached the spot fron
 whence the noise of the explosion came
 wonderful sight greeted them. Acre after
 acre of ground had been torn up to an un
 known depth. From thousand poin. huge shafts of flame reared their crests into the air A. times it appeared as if | fiery lake had settled down upon the earth,
 and as the wind blew across it the appear anee was that of q great field of gran | swayed by the moving atmosphere Strang est of all, from the centre of the stream oi flames, 30 feet high, came gcyser sput tering and missing through, throwing the spray in giittering showers 50 feet eact way. The peculiar odor that prevades all natural gas sections was overpoweringly | strong, as if vast quantity of gas were in tho air
 After the first astouishment was over people began to look about for damage. done. It was found that gigantic crack' Ike great wrinkles scanned the earth foi l were found scorching hot two miles away and as the wind occasionally parted the flames it was seen that the earth was .coopcd to depth of 5o feet over atl aero in extent 0gden's grave yard, an aoan done,i church yard, two and a hall miles away, was shaken and graves crackee open II Is claimed that the bones in one or two were exposed. Natural gas was never suspected in that vicinity, and how 1 1t caught fro Is a mystery. There is the greatest excitement, and the entire popu lation for miles around Is on the spot. II is not even guessed tue flames can be ex tingushed. The only damage done is ths tearing up of some aa acres of good ground To night Indiana has veritable lake oi fire, lighting up the country for miles, sou sthing no other spot on earth can boast. A dispatch from Greensburg, Ind, says the light of tue burning gas can be seer from that point. and that hundreds arc
 going to the scene. The dust from the an affiliated ground came down in showers at many points in the eounty. Hundreds oi people were confident an earthquake had shaken the ground. There is great feai | tfts.x- kg tg.r bu, tue bcst opinioa is that. having found l sn outlet, there wil be 10 more explosions | The gas well, T miles away, from which shelhyville and other towus are supplied, shows uo signs of decreased flow. though millinns cf fect are being consumed in thu lake of tire.
