Ugly Work at Syracuse.

Courier Journal
Those Democrats who doubt the
wisdom of going to New York for
Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent could want no better vindica-
tion of their opinion than is furnish
ed by the proceedings of the con-
vention held at Syracuse Tuesday
by the protesting and contesting
Democrats of the Empire State and
published in this issu e of the COur-
ler-JOUTRdj.
These show for the mselves and
need no Interpreter or commentary.
They disclose and emphasize all
the old familiar elements of party
disruption and discord; the claim
of the old faction that it, and it
alone, is true blue, and that it's adj
verSary is the embodiment Of all
that is wicked and detestable; the
gauntlet thrown down by the par
ty of the second Tart to the party
of the first part, with defiance and
hate; and every preparation launch
ed for Il fight of reprisal and re-
venge, war to the knife and the
knife to the hilt.
Thus the brands of internecine
strife are to be hurled into the Ma
tional Convention, and, at time
when we need all our forces to win,
we are to have the abrogation in
stead of the consolidation of the
party discipline and duty in that
State, without whose electoral vote
we cannot hope to elect our Nation
al ticket.
Those Democrats in the country
at large who have made themselves
accessory to this state OF affairs
have taken upon themselves an
awful responsibility, and they will
need all the grace that is in Hea-
ven and earth to pay the bill which
the great body of more thoughtful
and conservative Democrats, who
do not care a nickel about rival am
billions, but who do want to beat
the Republicans, will send in to
the image-worshipers and the hot
heads when their rash precipita.
tion and proscriptive intolerance
have brought upon a great party
and noble cause, complete and
needless shipwreck.

The lower portion of the town was
soon inundated. The flood came
so quickly that the people had not
time to reach places of SAFETY. The
water swept u number of oil tanks
down the stream, and in some way
they were ignited. In less time
than it takes to tell the story the
flames spread to the surrounding
buildings and before they could be
subdued five blocks had been
burned. The oil from the broken
tanks ran into the creek and was
ignited by floating debris. In q few
minutes the creek was ablaze from
shore to shore, and as it was car
ried down the stream, death and
destruction followed in it's wake.
Everything infammable took fire,
and by the time it reached Oil City
all the bridges between the two
points were consumed.
"Titusville," said Mr.. Grenner,
contains about 10000 people and
is the richest town of it's size in
America. 1t is called the "Queen
City of the oil regions and we'll de-
serves that appellation. L never
saw prettier town in my life.
Oil Creek winds beautifully a.
round the town, and stretching
back from its banks are hills that
gradually and gracefully rise to
the height of 400 feet. The streets
are wide and on each side are big
trees with their umbragOeus limb
tapping over into each others
bosoms, making an archway that is
beautiful to behold. The houses
are of the latest style of architec-
ture, and they present a new and
fresh appearance. Nearly all of
the oil mill men and refiners in
that vast oil region reside at Titus
vile on account of it's tsocial adj
vantages land many Of their homes
are very costly. Titusville produces
100000 barrels of oil per annum;
besides there were other manu-
concerns that were
damaged. Oil City is seventeen
miles from Titusville, and Oil
Creek at this point empties into
the Allegheny River. Many people
are rendered homeless by tire cat
astrophe and much suffering is

On last Sunday the oil region of
Pennsylvania was visited by a
fearful scourge Of fire and water
and the destruction to life and
property is appalling.
The deaths at Oil City are esti-
mated at 300 and 100 at TitusVilIe,
while the property loss amounts 70
to Millions of dollars. For nearly
n month it has been raining
throughout Western and North
western Pennsylvania almost in
cessantly ana for the past three or
four days the d0wnpour in the de-
vastated regions had been very
heavy. The constant rains had
converted all the small streams
into raging torrents, so that when
the cloudhurst came Sunday morn
ing the streams were soon beyond
their boundaries and the great
body of water came sweeping down

HARMONY With q Worry Lnrrn Il

The amount of harmony in tho
Republican party is something
wonderful to contemplate.
For whole week the city of Min.
neapolis has been literally ablaze
with harmony, and each howler is
doing his best to improve his spec
ial line of harmony on all with
whom he comes in contact.
1t don't matter who is his par
ticular choice; he allows nothing
inharmonious to occur.
If some one should suggest an
other name, his head is promptly
cracked with an umbrella or walk
ing stick and all in the interest of
harmony.
The Blaine and Harrison forces
came to blows on Wednesday
night in the corridors of a hotel,
over the display Of u banner car
ried by the Ft. Wayne Blaine Club
bearing the inscription "Harrison
will be beaten 10000 in Indiana"
the banner was torn to shreds in
the Melee, but the Harrison forces.
retired with sore heads, and many
of the mob are carrying broken
umbrellas, and so the Harmonious
harmony Harmonizes. At this it
looks as though result of the con-
vention would be Harrison.

Dynamite.

Detroit Free Press.l
Very few people have a correct
idea of what dynamite is, of what
it is made, and the uses to which
it is put. TO the French belongs
the honor of its discovery and its
first practical use.
Nitro-glycerine i IS the force of all
high explosives. dynamite is the
name most usually given to these
explosives, though other names
are sometimes used.
Dynamite is simply nitro-glycer-
inc mixed with various Ingredients.
Nitro-g o-glycerine is made by mixing
sulphuric and nitric acid with
sweet gIycerine, the same that is
used by the ladies to prevent chap
ped hands. Mixing the acids and
glycerine is where the great dam
ger lies in the making of nitro-gly-
cerine. The mixing tank, or agita-
tor, as it is called by dynamite ma
kers, is large steel tank, filed in
side with many coils Of lead pipe,
through which, while the mixing
is in progress, Il constant flow of ice
water is maintained. This flow of
ice water is used to keep the tenn
perature of the mix below So deg.
as above that point it would eX.
plode, and hole in the ground
would mark where the factory had
been. The nitro-glycerine is stored
in large earthenware tanks, which
are usually sunk in the ground to
guard against blows or severe con-
cussiOn.
The other Ingredients for making
dynamite are: Nitrate of soda,
which is found only in Chill, car
Donate of magnesia, and wood pulp.
Dynamite is put in paper shells
usually II inches inches in diane
ter and s inches in length, and
weighs about pound to each shell
or cartridge. 1t has largely taken
the place Of black powder for bias
ting, as it is many hundreds of
times stronger and consequently
more economical. 1t is used chief
ly in mining all kinds of ores, coal
and rock, and submarine blasting
and railroad building. Without its
aid many railroads, especially those
crossing the Rocky Mountains,
could not have been constructed;
without it He'll gate in New York
harbor could not have been destroy
ed, and without it the miner, at
prices now paid for mining ores,
could not earn his bread.
Dynamite will not explode from
any ordinary fall or jar; it will
burn without explosion, and free
zes at ~ degrees, 10 degrees above
ordinary freezing point. The bomb
of the anarchist is made of metal
or glass and filed with pure nitro.
arranged so as to explode
by severe contact with any hard |
object. These bombs are, of course,
never made by reputable dyna-
mite factory.
Five or six millions of dollars
are invested in the manufacture of
dynamite in the United States, and
its use is constantly on the increase.
The fumes Of nitro-glycerine pro-
duces Intense headache, which can
he cured by taking very small
dose Of it internally.

For Mosquito Bites.

The mosquito-bitten inhabitants
of New Jersey may be- interested
in the practical advice of a cele-
brated chemist. He says that of
the various remedies recommended
for mosquito bites, such as am
monia, oil of cloves, chloroform
and carbolized glycerlne, none is
better than ordinary soap. He is
an ardent naturalist, and on his
excursions in the country invaria-
bly, carries a small piece of
soap, with which in case of bite
he makes a lather over the affected
part and allows it to dry. He
declares that the relief is instan-
taneous, and that all pain soon
ceases,-Paterson IN. j. Press.
