THE CINCINNATrS ENGINES.
Des troyed by Fire in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard Stores.

Destroyed by Fire in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard Stores.
BROOKLYN, Sept. II, 1S92.-A fire oc-
Cured in the Brooklyn Navy Yard early
this morning which involves a loss any
where from ten Thousand to five hundred
thousand dollars. Various reports of the
disastrous confagration give various
estimates for the losses. The chief loss is
in the machinery for the new iron cruiser
Cincinnati, which was to have been
launched next week.
The fire was discovered at three o'clock
in the two-story frame structure in which
was stored the Cinciunati's machinery
The building formed excellent food for
the flames and before the Brooklyn fire
men were on hand the main machine ad-
Joining the machine storage room was
enveloped In flames.
The heat was intense and Fireman
Hamilton was overcome and had to be
taken home. How the fire started is a
mystery. There was no fire in the build
ing where he flames were discovered,
and rule forbidding smoking in the
yard is rigidy enforced The machine
shop is not much damaged. The Ciucin-
patI's engines are badly warped and will
probably be useless.

AN INFERNAL MACHINE FOR FLOWER.


Chief Executive.
NEW YORK. Sept. II, 1S92.-Chief In=
spector Steers has at Police Headquarters
a mysterious box, which contains an in
fernal machine The box was received
by Governor Flower at his head
quarters in the Windsor Hotel The
contents of the box were discovered be-
fore any harm was done, The manly
stand taken by the Governor in resisting
the mob at Fire Island seems TO be the
only excuse for the sending of the box.
1t is believed to have been the work OF a
disordered brain. The box was received
shortly after Governor Flower had sent
of the Surf Hotel.
Colonel Williams said to a reporter this
morning that on Wednesday evening last
a special delivery letter was sent to
Governor Flower warning him TO open
no package sent to him. The writer
evidently was aware of plot against the
Governor, as he signed his letter "A
Friend" Col. Williams at once instructed
the clerks to retain all packages for Gov
ernor Flower.
The first box TO arrive for the Governor
was removed to Police Headquarters.
where it was soaked in water for
an hour. Inside the box was
a fixed lever, which when raised
by the box lid, released weight which
fell upon bunch of sulphur matches.
Leading away from the matches was a
train of gunpowder This led to
can of giant powder in the cor
powder to do considerable damage. Gov.
Flower says he was not and is not
frightened by the receipt of the Internal
machine

ROD AND GUN.

A sea turtle weighing 125 pounds was
caughtln Delaware bay on Friday. 1t
was brought to Fairton by train Sa5ur-
day morning, and one curious person
who got too close to the uncouth monster,
was bitten by it.
Fish Warden Weller of Warren county
has just received 25, 900 small trout from
the fishery at Caledonia, N. Y, and will
lave them distributed among the small
streams in upper Warren county. The
fish are from one and half TO two inches
long. He will also put several Thousand
young bass in the Delaware and its tribu-
taries in a short time.
Several Newarkers went down on the
south snere of Long Island one day last
week tor bluefish cruise, John Riley
and Matthew Hamhay were in the party
and they cruised all day tor one fish.
No fish except little snappers are being
caught in Barnegat bay.
A hound belonging to James McMann,
of Rockaway, was running a rabbit on
Babcock's farm, near tox's pond, when
he suddenly disappeared. He was found
five days later at the bottom of dry well
twentY-eight feet deep.
Big catches of white perch have been
made from the bridges near the mouth
of the Hackensack every day for more
than fortnight. The fish take shrimp
eagerly on the rising tide, and it is little
trouble to catch fifty in an hour.
There is every reason to believe that
rabbits will be more plentiful this year
than they have been in many previous
seasons The best indication is the num-
Der of young rabbits seen in the roads
early IN the summer. Quails are sbuud-
ant too. and altogether it seems o be a
good year for game, although the fall
| woodcock shooting has not oeen begun
yet, and nothing can be said about it un-
til sharp frost in the north drives Lne
birds down.
There mas been s5fne excellent baybird
shooting at Tremlev lately. One day last
week boy killed 108 sniDe. Two New
arkers who went down ON Monday got a
big bag of assorted snipe but no yellow
legs.
They are still taking blnefish off Sea
Bright, but bait is extremely scarce. and
unless a good catch is nude every time a
| fisherman goes out, he is likely to lose
money on his venture
The weakfish season may be said to be
over for the year, although there is q
probability of catching lew big tide
runners yet. Altogether il has oeen the
poorest season in many years, and IL Is all
said to be due TO the.pouad nets along the
coast and in The lower bag.

Gossip is plentiful concerning the As

facts are scarce. The number of would

some bad disappointments. There would

CQNKlIN'S RECORD.

Collector c. NJ. Conklin has collected
nearly 100000 since he has been in office
in little more than year; he has hon
estly accounted for every cent of that
money and has settled with the territory
monthly as the law required.
No Democratic sheriff, Romulo Mar
tinez included, has ever complied so
fully, strictly and honestly with the law
as has Sheriff Conklin, and therefore the
business men, the tax payers, the men
who have the best interests of this city
and county at heart will elect this honest,
faithful and competent official to the
Office he now holds and which he has filled
with great credit and efficiency.

THE PRIMARY CAUSES FOR THIS LAwLEssnEss.

On Friday night i'll very public place
there occurred a shocking political muir
der in the city of Las Vegas. 1t seems as
if Candidate JoSeph's speeches in that
county melting the poor people to VIC
lence and stirring them up are bearing
fruit and bitter fruit and fruit that will
greatly injure this territory.
Besides this view of the case, the crime
committed is certainly the Legitimate re-
suit in San Miguel of Democratic-White
Cap doings and Democratic-Whit Cap
county officials, and is a solemn warning
to the people of this city and county, if
thev would have law and order and securi-
ty, to defeat the Democratic county ticket
for what has been enacted in the county
of San Miguel will be re-enacted here,
should the Democratic county ticket be
successful.
The lawlessness and crime that have ex-
listed here and the murders that have been
committed all had their origin in the in
famous and corrupt rule of the Demo
cratic bosses and officials in this county
and the attempt to perpetuate that in
famous rule.
The decent and law abiding citizens OF
this city and county must defeat the
Democratic county ticket for their own
sake and their own salvation, else they
will have to move from this city anC
county and let the Democratic gang ele
ment rule and ruin.
