Dynamite for Foundation Work.

A correspondent Of Indian Engineer
ing says he recently witnessed Il very in
teresting mode Of obtaining a foundation
for a new building. A hole was bored
in the ground (Which was previously
damp from ten to twelve feet deep and
an inch and a half wide, and a string of
cartridges was lowered into it. The
subsequent explosion not only produced
a cavity a yard in diameter, but also
drove the water out of the surrounding
earth by means of the expansive action
of the gases. The water did not return
to its former place for fully an hour, SO
that an opportunity was afforded to fill
up the cavity with quickly settling con
crete, and a rapid rate of working was
thus attained.

A New Antiseptic Agent.

A new antiseptic agent called microci-
dine, which is composed of 75 per cent.
of n~aphtholate of sodium and % per cent.
of naphthol and phenyl compounds, has
been tried in France. 1t is a white pow
der, soluble in three parts Of water. The
solution, which is cheap, is said to be a
very effective antiseptic, without being
poisonous or caustic or injurious to in
struments or linen. Its antiseptic prop
critics are inferior to those of corrosive
sublimate or napthol, but surpasS those
Of carbolic and boracic acids ten and
twenty times respectively. The solution
has given excellent results in dressing
wounds.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

SAM JONES EXPLAINS.


Prohibition or Any Other Question.
The excitement continues over the pro-
hibition fight at Staunton, Va. 1t seems
that the "wets" wanted to pit a negro
against Sam Jones, and hence Mr.. Jones
declined a joint discussion. \ special
from Stanton under date of August IS,
says:
The negro Hector entered the court
house yard this afternoon to make an
open air address. The sheriff, under in
structions from the clerk, ordered him
out, but upon appeals from the liquor
men he was allowed to speak. The crowd
was a large one and very much excited,
composed of white and colored people.
"When Sam Jones was here in June he
said he would come all the way from
Texas to meet any man who would speak
against him on the liquor question. The
dry committee submitted a challenge to
the vets for a joint discussion, which
the 'wets' promptly accepted and asked
for a committee to arrange for a discus
sion tonight at s o'clock. The 'drys'
evaded this proposition, and finally said
that their challenge was not intended to
include Mr.. Jones. This was a square
back-doWn; the cock refused to fight
Jones back-dOWn is severely criticised
and is a good lick for the VETS and
Jones Boosting is nipped in the bud"

OF this precinct, while coming down stairs at his
residence, No. 261 Firstave, caught his foot in the
Znc causing him TO fall and receive fracture Of the
left arm. He was attended at Bellevue Hospital"
Something In the dispatch aroused the Inspectors
suspicion that Medallion had not been hurt In the
manner described and he made careful Investigation.
The result was that he handed 10 Complaint Clerk
Peterson at Police headquarters yesterday complaints
against Medallion and nineteen ether policemen, in
Guiding Sergeant Quigey, OF the Eighteenth Precinct,
