A RuratIng ELY Wheel.


MANCHESTER, N. H. October 17.-By the
bursting of the fy-wheel of the monster en-
CINE of 5OO-horse power, in No. mill of the
Amoskeag corporation, portion of the mill
was torn away and many injured.
A large force of men are at work on the
ruins. The wheel tore through the floors of
the first and second stories. Samuel bunker
was killed outright and nine others are badly
wounded.
Eleven girls were employed in the drawing
room over the steam pumping room adJoln-
ing the engine house. When the wheel burst
they were carried to the basement in the
debris Some of them were caught in the
heavy timbers and iron beams. Some were
taken out of the ruins and carried to another
part of the mill. Three of the. seven were
perfectly helpless and their injuries were ter
rible, there being great cuts on their heads
and faces and legs, arms and ribs being
broken.
The body of Engineer Samuel bunker was
taken out of the wheel pit with the head
smashed. Emile Delane, a boy employed IN
No. 3, was taken from the mill in terrible
condition. He was in No. room in the
mill, on the top story, when piece of the
fiy-wheel came through the window, knock
ing the timbers into pieces, and mass OF
iron and timber striking HIM.

WASHINGTON, D. C. October 16.-The
Ecumenical conference adopted unanimously
a petition to the United States commission
ers of the Chicago worlds fair, protesting
against the proposed opening of the fair on
Sunday. The reasons given are:
First-It is the religious conviction of the
great majority of Christian people that man
needs and God commands the observance OF
a Sabbath.
Second-The opening of the exposition on
Sunday would violate the Sabbath keeping
traditions of the American people and their
Anglo-Saxoh ancestry, and also the laws OF
the United States and Illinois.
Third-The Columbian exposition ought to
exhibit to visitors from other lands a
characteristic Christian American Sunday
rather than a weekly secular holiday.
Fourth-rhe proposed opening on Sunday
would deprive thousands of employees IN the
service of the exposition of their right to one
Day in seven for rest and worship. The
same injustice would be done to many thou
sands IN the service of the transportation
companies.
The spirit of the movement to open the
exposition on Sunday is not phllanthropici
but merceuary.
Sixth-As an offset to the plea that the
stockholders will lose money if the eXposi-
lion is not open on Sunday. we beg to re-
mind you that the Centennial exposition, al
Philadelphia, was a financial success with
the gates closed on Sunday.

The cherokee STRIP.

GUTHRIE, o. T., October 17.-Concerning
the opening of the Cherokee strip Governor
Steele says: ''Nothing I think of would be
more gratifying to the people of. not only
Oklahoma, but those of Arkansas, Missouri,
Texas, Kansas, and other states who are
ANXIOUS for homes than would be the OPEN
ng of the Cherokee outlet. There is every
reason why it should be thrown open to set
lement, and none that l know of why it
should not be. If the commission created by
congress shall fail to treat with the CherO-
KEGS for those lands and shall so report to
congress during its next session it. l trust.
may enact law that will open them. Should
congress fail to do so from any cause l earn
astly hope the president may declare them
open by proclamation.
s'Forbidding the use of those lands for
'cowpasture' or quarry purposes is a long
step IN the right direction. and highly appre-
eiated by the homeseekers. If they may be
bought for the use of friendly Indians at AZ
cents an acre from the Cherokees, see no
reason why the Cherokees, seventy miles
away, should object to white people settling
them at the same price, and if they do object
l see no reason why we should not take them
anyhow at not exceeding the same price"

Range cattle statIstIes.

WASHINGTON D. C, October 15.-The CEN
sus Office has issued a bulletin containing
statistics of the range cattle industry in the
United States, not including cattle on farms
The bulletin says that since the census of
1880 great changes have taken place in the
industry of range cattle. Large areas once
used as ranges are now inclosed as farms,
and the cattle are driven to new and distant
feeding grounds. A large portion of Texas
Colorado, Oregon, Washington ana Califor-
MIA, One-third of Kansas and one-half of
Nebraska have been converted into farms
during the last decade.
Owing to the difficulty in exactly defining
the lines of range and farm stock, and to
avoid Implications, only the stock known to
be outside of that taken as farm stock is in
cluded in the tables of this bulletin.
It Is found that in June. 1880, there were
upon the ranges 5l7. 128 horses, 5,4S3 mules,
IA, 100 asses or burros, 6, S26, 1872 cattle, 6.678
SO2 sheep and l., 276 swine. with sales of
horses in 1889 amounting IN value to 81. 41S,-
205; of cattle, Sl7, 913 712; of sheep, 50. 669,
66S, and of swine, S27, 132. The total num-
Der of men reported on ranges in care of
stock is Il, $50. The industry is found to be
more generally prosperous at tins time than
for several years previous.

OUR FLOUR

Great Quantities.
At Present Prices It Can be Used
In Paris Cheaper Than French
Mills Can Work American Wheat
Much Bought for Future De-
livery.

CHICAGO, October 16.-Advices from the
other side of the Atlantic are almost uni
formly bnllish with regard to the future pncs
OF wheat The feature of the trade here,
which does not usually appear in the daily
review Of the market, and the full scope of
which Is not covered by the published figures
OF the movement of crops, is the extraordI-
nary demand from England and even France
for American -four. 1t does not fully show
In the immediate exports, for the reason that
they take no note of the immense purchases
OF Hour which are made by foreigners for
future shipments. The agents of one or two
OF the aInalgamated milling concerns at
Minneapolis say they are getting large or
ders from England for their patents, az
prices which leave them good milling profit
aud as for bakers and lover grades, their
entire milling capacity up to next January is
already solds and If they were to accept fur
ther orders at present prices they could dis
pose OF their entire output up to next June.
Ihe buying of patents to go abroad at the
present volume was never before experienced.
A Paris Hour merchant, writing under Oc-
tooer l, says American -four is preferred
there at such rates that 1t does not pay to
import the wheat for milling. The result
has been that wheat bought in this country
Tor future delivery has been resold. The
writer expects higher prices for wheat. even
II Russia doeA not prohibit exports, though
the latter Is anticipated.

-Four of the passengers of the steamer Au-
gustR Victoria, from Hamburg. have broken
limbs to exhibit a record of the severity of
the voyage. Eight others were more or less
injured on tns vessel. Inc augusta victoria

The sea ran mountain high and frequently
broke over the bows Of the steamer, washing
everything moveahle from the decks A
sudden roll of the vessel on the widest day
OF the storm threw down many of the pas
sengers, and when picked up, four were
found to have broken arms and legs, while
eight others were severely bruised.
The French steamship La Bretagne also
met the gale. Captain Collier, OF the Bre-
taRne, reports that some fishing vessels cap
sized IN the storm and that their crews took
to the boats and persisted.

LONDON Press Commspt.

LONDON, October 14.-Estimates vary az to
the number of persons who witnessed the
demonstration at Dublin. The Daily News
account says the procession proper, With the
multitude in the rear of it, aided to the
crowd at Glasnevyn cemetery, numbered
900.
The Chronicle says that the demonstration
Wzs a spontaneous, irresistible surging from
all parts of Ireland to GlasneTyn. The
mighty wave would have swept away any
barner the priests or the politicians could
have put up to stop 1t.
The scene was far more imposing and sig
nihcant than the demonstration over O'Con-
nell's grave. The Catholic democracy thus
pay their last tribute of homage to the Prot
estant leader in defiance of the priests and
majority of their own representatives in par
lament
The Daily Telegraph says the ceremonial
attracted vast and sympathetic crowd, such
as the annals of Irish history would find it
hard to parallel.
The News hopes that absence of the display
of any party spirit betOkens the early re-
union of the Irish people.

LONDoS, October IA great storm flooded
the low lands of north Wales, causing great
damage.
High winds in the vicinity of Farnsworth
overturned tents on the race track. At FACE
ley, while the races were in progress, many
persons were injured by flying debris.
At York boy was killed by falling roof
At Hastings heavy seas swept over the
promenade and the damage there and at
other watering places along the eastern coast
was enormous
A French brig was stranded near FaI-
mouth, where the force of the wind shattered
her to pieces
No further details are attainable.
Norwegian vessel, loaded with coal, was
wrecked on kearnsy, Ireland.
Several collisions have occurred in the
Thames. and many vessels were driven
ashore.
The gale demolished a circus which was
given an exhibition at Birr, Ireland, and
many persons, mostly children, were injured
by falling poles.
The gale, which had considerably abated
by nightfall, resumed the force of a hurri-
cane at midnight.
The area of the storm extends over the
whole of Ireland and England, and on the
southern portion of Scotland large num-
Der OF coasters have been lost.
The valleys of the Severn and Dee the low
lying part of the midland counties, are
flooded.

The Medical Battery COmpanyin Ok
ford street, more widely known as the
ElectrOpathic and lander Institute.
has introduced new feature in
dental and surgical operations. An
operating chair of the best and most
approved type is provided with a bat
terry and Faradaic coil, whereby a
smart current Of electricity is gener-
ated. The battery and coil, and the
apparatus connected Herewith, are
arranged in a closed space under the
seat Of the chair, and the current is
excited when required, or turned of.
by means of two thumbscrews at the
back Of the chair, which respectively
actuate by levers the proportional
immersion of the zinc plate in the
battery cell and the withdrawal of
the sheath from the core of the coil.
Thus, the quantity and tension of the
electric current is determined. This
current is connected by two electrodes
fastened into the ends of the two
arms OF the chair. The patient, be-
ing seated, takes hold of the cleo
trOdeS with both hands, when he ex-
periences the usual galyanic Sensa-
tions. So soon as he has become ac-
custOmed to the action of the cur
rent, which has deadening effect on
pain, the operator puts his foot on a
pedal, which, by means of a weighted
lever, shunts the current to the REQ
phore, or cord, attached to the for
ceps or operating instrument. As
soon as the forceps touch the tooth to
be extracted, the circuit of the cur
rent is established through the body
of the patient. The galVanic action
thus brought directly on the nerve of
the tooth deadens the local pain. and
permits extraction without suffering.
Some patients have been already
operated on, and successful future
appears to be promised for this novel
process. For other surgical perform
ances, the like local application Of
the galvanic current can be similarly
applied, and the use OF electricity
may very likely become a widespread
substitute for the powerful and less
safe an9stheties at present so largely
employed. The neatness and unob-
trusiveness Of the galvanic appliances
and the means Of employing them are
not the least commendable features in
the invention.

VIM be Held Resnnnaible.

WASHINGTON, D. C. October 15.-The
commissioner of Indian affairs has written a
letter to Dorchester, superintendent of In
dian schools, in which the latter is instructed
to visit the contract schools and subject them
to the same thorough inspection which Is
made in the case of the government schools.
The superintendent is also to make special
inquiry into the character and qualifications
of employees of contract schools. to compare
the course of study in these schools with the
course IN the government schools and to
point out any defects or any superiority
which may be discovered IN it. The COM
missioner says: II think it would be espe-
cially desirable, also, for you to examine the
text books in use in these schools and see
whether they are adapted to the purpose.
Criticism has been made frequently that the
kind of training that the Indians are acquIr-
ing in these institutions are not of practical
character, and that such learning does not
fix them for the stormy and hard life to
which they are destined on their return to
their reservations. You will say distinctly
and emphaticaily to those who are in any
wise connected with those institutions, and
who are using their influence against the
government schools by advising pupils to
stay away, by advising parents to withhold
their children, by advising agents not to Gu
operate with the government. or in any way,
directly or indirectly, that they will be held
strictly responsible for 1t, and If the neces-
slty comes upon the Office 1t will not hesitate
to annul contracts with such institutions.

Steamer civ of Rome.

ST. JOINS, n. F., October 16.-It is reported
here that the Anchor line steamer. City of
Rome, has been lost OF St. Shots. St.
Shots Is a hamlet which has been the scene
of many shipwrecks.
St. Shots is eighty-five miles in a direct
line southwest of St Johns.
The nearest point of importance is Tres
passy, which is at the head of the bay, run
ming between Capes Race and Pike, and
about twenty miles from where the City of
Rome Is said to have been lost. The City of
Rome had on beard from 100 to 800 people.
She sailed from New York October 10.
LATER.-The lost steamer Is not the ocean
racer, City of Rome, but steamer of the
same name, which had on board 575 cattle,
with -four and corn to finish her cargo. 1t is
said there is but one survivor of the crew.

Col DYRENFoRTH is not to be al
lowed to have the field all to himself
as a rainmaker. Another Chicago
man, Mr.. Louis Gathmann, has a
plan for producing rain by the use of
liquetied carbonic acid gas, which can
be made cheaply and in immense
quantities from lime and marble dust.
He proposes to I'LL six-inch cylinders
two or three feet long with this ma
terial at a pressure of 500 pounds to
the square inch, and explode them at
a distance of a mile or so above the
earth's surface. The sudden expan-
sion OF the contents will produce a
temperature of seventy degrees below
zero, and cause the formation of a
very large cloud in obedience to the
well-knOWn law that a lowering of
the temperature of a volume Of air
decreases its capacity for sustaining
moisture. 1t is said that ex-senator
Farwen has investigated the theory,
and intimated that he proposes to
give a trial to the scheme, which in
language facetiOusly ascribed to the
inventor will enable any one to get a
copiOus shower, no matter how hot
the day, by dropping $500 in the
slot "
