AN ELECTRIC FIRE.
1t Enwraps Car and Extends Twenty Feet on
Either Side of It.

Car No. 80, on the Salt Lake line, going down
Seventh East last night threw down wiFs.
from its middle to the ground. The effeea was
like magic. The whole car from back to front
became enveloped in flame of electricity that
extended twenty feet from the cer front and
rear. Great balls of flame that resembled
Brolytes sprang from the track and danced
around the conductor and gripman in the wild
est and most fantastic manner, and
the whole earth seemed on fire. Flames
leaped up and chung around botn platforms.
The gripman threw his left arm over his face TO
protect his eyes and bravely moved down his
brake until the car was stopped and the con-
nectioD broken. The passengers were fright
ened out of their wits and HERALD reporter
who was on the front platform observed the dis
play until discretion seemed the better part OF
valor and started to jump of only to be met by
q great ball of fire coming up from under the
car. He staid where he was. The FUNNIEST part
Of the incident was the almost quarrel that en-
sued between the excited conductor and a
scared lady passenger as to whether the most
fire was in front or behind the car. No partic-
ular damage was done further than to stop traf-
tic for half an hour or so on the line.

B0WMAN'S FINE CHEEK.
He Goes Before the Joint Committee and Asks
That His Contract Be Allowed.

The joint city and county committee met
yesterday at o'clock at the city hall to listen
to the plant of J. II. Bowman who wants to
proceed with work on the joint city and county
building. Bowman stated that he wants to
start Up on Monday and put one hundred men
to work on the bui. ding.
1t is hardly probably the committee will be so
foolhardy as to allow this until the grand jury
takes some action in the matter 1t is source
of great wonder that the grand jury
has been entirely remlSs In
this matter, as up to da.e Bowman
states that he has not even been summoned be-
fore il, and the evidence before the county
court was of such a nature as everyone ex-
pected to see Bowman among the first whom
indictments would be found against. There are
several gentlemen OF probity, to say nothing OF
sanity, who swore point blank that their sigma
lures were forged and yet the grand jury has ig-
nored the case completely.
What il the matter with (ounty Attorney
Walter Murphy" is the question that many are
asking that after listening to the evidence and
dissertating on il so wisely, he has become so
inaue on the subjecG?'
The city attorney is just as much concerned
in the matter as the county attorney and even
Public Prosecutor stephens must have heard
some faint echoes of the case, and yet Bowman
goes free and untrammeled.

A Horse With an Eye to Business.

There is an old, raw.boned, spawned
gray horse that stands over on Canal
street, near Randolph, every day, and
what he doesn't know about oats aud tue
express business it would not be worth
while for a colt that eontemplates haul
ing trunks at twenty-five cents a haul to
bother about.
The corner of the streets is a sort Of
waiting place for expressmen, aud a
dozen wagons may be found in line there
daily. The wagon at the head of the
line secures the first business that comes
in sight, and when it moves away, az
only express wagons can, the others
move up, the wagon that went off taking
a place on the end of the line when it
returns.
Yesterday the old gray horse was
fourth in line. The first wagon was
hired, and the driver left his companions
who were, as usual, rated on the
conner, and drove off. Horses Nos. 2 and
3promptly moved up without having an
informal invitation from their respective
owners. The old gray never moved. He
was quietly munching his oats from q tub
on the sidewalk. The horse behind him,
a dilapidated-l Hooking bay, began to grow
restless and poked his head over the end
of the old gray's wagon. Afterdue con.
sideration he came to the conclusion the
old gray had no intention of moving
just then, and pulling out he passed HIM
at aslow trot aud took the vacant place
ahead of him. The others novel up in
order. When the old gray flushed his
MONDAY meal he looked about and saw
at a glance that something was wrong.
He probably discovered it before, but
preferred to eat his oats and settle the
matter afterwards. He lost no time in
pulling out of line, and soon he was
standing beside the old bay that took his
place. He commenced to bite at him,
and tried to make him back, but it was
no use. He was bound not to be
cheated, however, and he quietly
marched along and took a place at the
head of the line. just then a call came, |
and the old gray started off with a neigh
and his tail in the air, while the other
horses hung their heads in shame. Chi.

The Nitrate Fields of Chile.

The ealiehe, or raw nitrate of soda, is
not equally distributed over the pam
pas. The most abundant deposits are
situated on the slopes of the hills which
probably formed the shores of the old
lagoons. An expert can tell from the
external appearance of the ground where
the richest deposits are likely to be
found. The caliche itself is not found
on the surface of the plain, but is COW
cred up by two layers. The uppermost,
known technically as chuea, is of a
frlable nature, and consists of SAND and
gypsum; while the lower-the costra-
IS q rocky conglomerate of clay, gravel
and fragments of felspar. The caiiche
varies in thickness from a few inches to
ten or twelve feet, ard rests on a soft
stratum of earth called cova.
The mode in which the callche is exca-
waited is as follows: A hole is bored
through the chuca, %costra, and csliche
layers till the cova or soft earth is
reached below. It is then enlarged un-
Til it is wide enough to admit OF a small
boy being let down, who scrapes away
the earth below the caliche so as to form
9 little hollow cup. Into this a charge
OF gunpoWder is introduced, aud subse-
quently exploded. The caliche is then
separated by means of picks from the
everything costra and carried to the re-
flnery. Both in appearance and com
position it varies very much. In color
It may be snow white, sulphur, lemon,
orange, violet, blue, and sometimes
brown, like raw sugar. -Blackwood's

Prehistoric DMellers in Albion.

During some recent excavations in
Endleigh street, In the northwestern
part Of Londuo, the Workaen came upon
remains of a mammoth and other pre-
historic animals at a depth of about
twenty-five feet from the surface. In
the central excavation two large tusks of
q mammoth were mel with, lying close
together, along with other bones belong
ing to the same animal. Al part of one
Of these tusks was brought to the sur
face, and was found to measure at its
thickest part nearly two feet in cireum-
ference. The length of the complete
tusks would probably be at least nine or
ten feet. Ii another excavation, ct q
distance Of about fifteen feet, the lower
jaw and bones Of 4 younger mammoth
was discovered at about the same depth
from the surface. It is evident that the
animals died at the spot where their re-
mains were found, and the dark Ioamy
soil Id which they were imbedded has
yielded on examination many seeds OF
contemporary plants, which indicate that
the land was i marsh in the remote ages
Of the glacial period to which the relica

There has not been a year for some
time, declares the Boston Transcript,
when game was as plenty in Maine and
when 50 little was killed and destroyed
as during the past winter. One reason is
that the NOW in many localities was not
deep, and at the same time it was hard,
Lolding up the deer and caribou, and Civ.
ing them . chance to protect themselves
BY flight. Another reason is that the
guides and hunters have learned that it
is for their interest to leave the game
alone, especially during the deep SHOWS.
Moose are quite plenty in the central part
OF northern Maine, and deer are now
plentier than they have been for q long
time at this season Of the year. In the
Nicatous region both game and fish are
particularly plenty this year.

The great Roman p%rincely families are
ruined, says the New York Herald cable.
Prince Sciarra is almost a bankrupt. He
secretly sold his pictures against his will.
Louis, Prince di Borghese, lives in the
country, his whole fortune, which Is in
~alienable, consisting of $4,000. when
formerly the income Of the Borghese
family was $500 a day. The fortunes Of
the bourgeoisie are also diminishing.
Seven hundred Roman families sold their
horses aud carriages in 1891; six hun
dred did the same thing in the preceding
year.

It seems that sculptors of the rank Of
Anne Whitney and Harriet Hosmer de-
cline to show their works in the Woman
Building Of the Worlds Fair, but will
exhibit in the Liberal Arts Building.
Their idea is, of course, explains the New

and that competition in their profession
has not been with woman, but as MEM

When thought doth little and dwells alone,
The blooming f~oot-paths open a way
To many a long past holiday.
Though youth be flown and fancy gone,
The minds sweet memories may live on,
Only let the south wind blow,

For thou and the balmy south wind make
The spirits brightest weather.

SPRINGER BETTER.
His Chances ofRecovery Now Greatly
Improved.

Improved.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-Thsre is un-
questionably Improvement in the condition
of Congressman Springer this morning.
The erysipelas, which has been affecting the
brain. is rapidly subsiding aud the doctors
express belief that all danger of death as
direct result of erysipelas is passed. The
only menace to the patients life now lies in
his great prostration and the loss Of vigor
which has resulted from the ravages of the
malady. The affection, styled by the ply
sicians nervous cough. still continues to be
his most dangerous symptom. "Nervous
cough" by no means expresses this affection
to the unprofessional mind. It is rather a
spasmodic convulsion OF the entire frame,
which only resembles a cough in that
it has it's apparent origin in
the lungs and chest. There
does not seem to be any obstruction in the
cir passages and nothing is expelled by this
series OF spasmodIc Rasps and strain. The
physicians say that this cough, as they term
it in the absence Of better name, has its
origin IN the brain and In the harassed con-
dltion Of certain nerves which communicate
with and control the lungs, and, indeed. the
entire system of their periodical paroxysms.
THE CRISIS PASSING.
The physicians this marning authorized
statement that their patient is better and
that the crisis is rapidly passing II no
change for the worse takes place during the
day they believe that he will recover, unless
some unforeseen reason or accident should
cause relapse. The purple swelling in the
face and head has so far subsidized that In
another day the features will almost
have assumed their normal ap-
pearance, Mr.. Springer is more
restful and at intervals Is able to get
few minutes of apparently peaceful slum-
Der. These symptoms augur we'll, but the
most favorable indication of all is that the
patient hinzself has once more taken hope
and is now battling vigorously for life.
Yesterday he had quite given up and ex-
pressed the opinion 10 confidence to his wife
and family that death must ensue, but thiB
morning be frequently announces the con-
viction that he has got a new hold, ;" as he
expressed 1t, and that the battle is not lost
yet.
Mr.. Springer continues to gain tonight
and the apprehensions of his friends are
considerably allayed.
