CURRENT AFFAIRS.
TIE NEWS IN BRIEF.
The Presidents Journey Ended.

The President and his party reached
Washington safely last Friday afternoon
on their return from their transcontinental
tourney of 10000 miles. The President $
Grandchildren and the cabinet members
who remained in Washington were at the
railroad station to greet the home-comers.
4 pleasant incident of the closing stage of
the Journey is thus related: When the
train was nearing the national capital and
fine tourney was almost at an end the
President summoned to the observation car
every person who had accompanied him on
fine trip including the ladies and all the
employees of the railroad and the Pullman
car company, and made them a short adj
dress. He said he found that he had made
inst 1870 speeches since they left Washing
ion on April Ia, and he thought this a
rood occasion to make the number round
140. He then referred to the unprecedented
excellence and perfection of the railroad
service throughout the entire trip, and said
that the fact that they had been able to
travel over 10000 miles of territory, in a
Splenddly equipped train, without an acct
dent or mshap of any kind, and without
one minutes variation from the pre-
arranged schedule, must always be regarded
as a remarkable achievement He espec-
tally complimented Mr.. George W. Boyd of
the Pennsylvania road, who largely planned
the trip and personally conducted it. Mr..
Harrison than returned his thanks hdivd-
uay to the conductors, the engineers and
frcmen, the cnef and his assistants, the
brakemen, the walters and porters, and, in
fact, every person who had rendered ser
vice to the party on the trip Every one
was pleased at the President compliment
airy illusions, and when he closed all
pressed forward to shake his hand In
addition to his kind words, the President
gave all the employees a substantial token
OF his appreciation of their attentions.
This incident made a favorable impression
on all who witnessed it, as showing the
Presidents feeling of human interest in
those with whom he is brought in contact
in whatever capacity.

A Horrible ENpIOsion---IS Men Killed
and 10 Badly Injured.

A fiat car loaded with 1000 pounds of
blasting powder and drawn 10y a construction
engine was blown to atoms near Tarrytown,
n. Y, on the New York Central and Hud-
son River railroad on Tuesday. A gang of
workmen, mostly Italians, were on the car,
and - of the number were killed, ten badly
injured, and five others are missing. 1t is
thought that the latter were blown into the
river. Had the explosion occurred while a
heavily loaded passenger train was passing
the loss of life would have been still more
appalling. 1t is supposed that the eXplo-
sion was caused by one of the Illuminating
caps becoming ignited in some unaccomt-
able way. The car was blown to atoms,
the engine wrecked, and the road bed torn
up for number of feet. A number of the
men were blown into the river, and the
body of one was found 400 feet from the
scene of the explosion.

The New York IncendIary Fires.

Mysterious incendiary fires continue to
be reported in Brooklyn and New York
In less than two weeks there have been
seven tenement house fires between Tooth
street and the Harlem river in New York
and in every instance the fire is supposed
to have been started Intentionally The
most serious of these fires was the one on
Monday last, at Sth avenue and 18th street,
and the flames spread so fast that dozen
persons barely escaped with their lives. A
dozen families on the fifth story had all
means of escape except by the iron ladders
cut off, and cry went up when it became
known that there were several children
who could not go down the ladders. The
occasion developed heroes in three Plunkett
brothers, who lived in the building. They
stationed themselves at different points on
the ladders, and taking child at a time the
one at the top worked his way down until
he could hand child to the brother below,
who repeated the performance, until the
children were lowered to the first floor

Thomas II. Reed in Rome.

Behold me as | stand
Where Rome has stood
For twice thousand years
And more
Behold us both:
Me and Rome
And then dear friends,
Please give your eyes rest
Rome has her history,
And have mine;
But Rome, although she sat
Upon her seven hills
And ruled the world
Never sat in the Speakers chair
OF the Fifty-hrst Congress
And bossed that
Megatherian aggregation
As did,
And that is where I've got
The bulge on Bone!
Here in old Caesars district
l sit me down. and with my feet
Upon his ancient mantle-piece
| feel at home.
Me and Cesar!
Twin stars that twinkle through all time!
Two iron heels that trod as one
Upon the peoples necks,
And then we got it in our own
By gosh dear friends, don't like that little bit
And Caesar didn't either,
Although he didn't have
Word to say after it was over
For obvious reasons
But Brutus wasn't patching
To Springer of Illinois,
Or Rogers of Arkansas;
And Caesar has something
To be thankful fort
I'm with you, Rome,
From the Passamaquoddys
Tumbling tide Of saw logs
To where the tawny Tiber flows
And we should organize
Reed and Roman Trust,
And swipe the universe!
Are there objectionss
/ hear none,
The ayes seem to have it,
The ayes have i'll
Then let her go, Gallagher
But l shall never think
That in that elder day
To be a Roman
Was greater than Speaker
In the grand old Fifty-first
And don't you forget il

disastrous fire occurred at Fairfax a
week ago Sunday, the dwelling and seven
barns on the farm of l.. d. Roberts being
entirely consumed. The house was occu-
pied by Mr. Roberts and Dwight Smith.
The barns were 20 rods away, but owing to
the furious gale they took fire. Nearly all
the contents of the barns were burned.
The stock in the barns was saved, but the
grain, farming tools, etc, were destroyed.
Neighbors who came across the river in a
boat were obliged to return to save their
own property, as the sparks set fire to
fences and everything combustible. Mr..
Roberts's loss was $1,000, but he was well
insured. Mr.. Smith had no insurance. and
his loss was several hundred dollars

Northern Ohio was visited by a frost last
Sunday morning unequaled at this season
in II years. What was left of the early
fruit was practically wiped out. The
bright prospects for an abundant fruit crop
in the section around Norwalk o., were
destroyed by the hardest frost known for 20
years at this season. Similar reports come
from other places in the same latitude in
Ohio and Illinois. Sharp frOsts and storms
of sleet and snow were experienced through
out Great Britain last Saturday night and
much injury was done to the fruit crops.
The snow melted in the valleys, but re-
manned on the hilltops, in curious contrast
with the bright vegetation. Snowstorms
prevailed Sunday at Belfort and Nancy,
France. The mountains of Alsace were
covered with snow.
One of the greatest sales of thorough
breds ever held was that at Sheepshead Bay
near New York last week Thursday, when

week Thursday by the company and their

Reign of Terror at VvoodsIde, l.. l..

For year the people of WoOdside, Long
Island, have been living in a reign of terror.
Arson and plumber have been the reiterated
story of the night. 1t has been a common
occurrence for the little volunteer fire de-
partment to be called out at midnight to
some fire in the outskirts of the place, only
to learn on return that the absence of the
men had been taken advantage of for bur
glary. The citizens have now formed a
vigilance committee, divided it into squads
OF four to patrol the streets at night, but
outrages have increased rather than dimin-
ished, and the list of fires and attempted
burglaries is long one. Detectives have
now been engaged, and it is hoped that the
culprits will soon be brought to justice.

LN0R SOME TIME GREAT WANT HAS # been felt by the orange grower of Southern California for fertilizer sdap,ed to this fruit. We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our Orange Tree Fertilizer" It is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid, ammonia and other ingredients, and is complete manure for growing trees from time of setting out to full maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their distaste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of superphosphates, according to Prof: Hilgard, will be found much better adapted to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by its long continuance in the cultiys- tion of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating. The quantity used on old trees at cordine to the age of the tree-tree years otd, 5 pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. If the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, greater quan- tity may be used to good advantage. The fer tilizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating. Price, f36 per ton.

Charles wetherelI Yearns for Liberty But
 is Brought Back.
 Yuma Times: It has been busy week at the penitentiary. Charles Wetherell made an attempt to escape last Friday afternoon and enjoyed few hours out side the walls. Wetherell was cook for the guards mess and had considerable liberty. About 2 o'clock in the after noon he watched his chance and while outside the yard he exchanged his striped suit for other clothes he had managed to get some way. He got off the hill without being seen by the guard at the Gatling stand and made for the railroad yard. Freight train No. 2l was about to pull out for the east and Wetherell succeeded in secreting him. self in the tool box under the caboose. When Gila Bend was reached the next morning the caboose was side-tracked and Wetherell became suspicious that he was left. He got out of his hiding place and made for the Glla river, four miles distant. He was captured by a Iaeger, who was at Aztec, went on to Gila Bend and returned with Wetherell in charge. He had a five years sen tence, of which he had served about eighteen months. It is thought that Ee must have received some assistance from brakeman. On investigation Superintendent Mcinerney came to the conclusion that the guard at the Gatling stand had been negligent of his duty and he was discharged.

Mohaye News,

Mohave County Miner: Work on the shaft of the Distaff mine in Mohave county is in progress. Water is being taken out of the Hack berry mine pre- paratory to taking out ore.
 The new whim for the Elkhart mine has been hauled out and will be erected on that property in few days. Superin- tendant Bradley is an energetic young man and will place the mine on a good paying basis in short time.
 Considerable high grade lead ore is being gotten out of the New Londen mine.
 There is pretty strong hopes that a smelter will shortly be erected at or near Yucca.
 It is proposed to drill the Prince George mine at Stockton Hill in search of more ore. The exact width of the ledge is not known. The drill will be run across the vein and will also be run down on the ledge as far as possible.
 The Empire mill, in Todd basin, will start up under a new management in a few weeks.
