There is All epidemic of yellow
fever in Brazil. Perhaps Prof
Fosters prediction that the next
two or three years are to be nota-
BILE for epidemics, is to come true.
Perhaps not. But it will be well
if unusually strict precautionary
measures are everywhere adopted.
Boards of Health should be clothed
with power and energy, and there
should be an immense amount of
cleaning up done. The experience
of the past ten or twenty years
shows that pestilence can be baf-
fed. Prof. Fosters prophecy may
be shown to be true, only on con-
ditjon, that the people havo been
rendered cureloss through compar-
alive immunity from visitation

Another terrible explosion
at tie Phoenix Powder
Mills ut Kellogg.
The third time since The
Mill WAS put in OPP
Grafton.
Five killed and many others
badly injured.

Last Monday morning at eight
and Il half o'clock (Suntime) the
whole town and vicinity heard and
felt the most terrific jar, that by
past experience we realized was
caused by another accident of the
Powder Mill two and one half miles
up the river from here Many win
dows were broken both here and at
Kenova. We understand that no less
than 20 panes were broken in the
Glenwood Hotel ut Kenova. \
large plate glass was broken in
the Bloss Drug store front window
Bricks were thrown off the chin
ney of the Fountain Drug store in
to n sky light in the roof and the
bricks passed through the glass
falling on the prescription shelves
destroying much glass and medi-
cines. DR.. Sturgill and Mr.. Ma
haffey were standing at the shelves
and that they were not injured
was almost miracle.
According to the best informa-
ton we can give, the accident be-
gan in the same building as that,
happening Aug. 18th, that is in the
Glazing room. AT that time only
the Glazing building was destroy
ed, but this time the only building
left unwrecked is the Press building
which is said to contain 20 tons of
finished powders There seems to
have been three or more seperate
explosions. We did not realize but
one.
AS in the first accident the only
man who could inteligently OK
PLAIN the cause, is gone, and like
many other caiamities of the kind
nothing will ever be known. We
have heard it stated by powder
workers that the Glazing room is
considered safe--comparativelv
From the fact that the accident of
August was an explosion in the
same room we are led to think
that there must be something I'M
usual in the process-There were
FIVE men killed outright and a
man named Cook who was so bad
ly hurt that there was no hope of
his life from the first. He lived
several hours after the acct
dent after suffering untold agony
nntil the physicians had put him
under the influence of medicine.
The following are the names of
the killed:
Archie Livingston foreman.
Ed. Winton,-Engineer,
John Benton,
John Schlosser,
Chas. Scott.
Robert Cook, was fatally injured.
Chas. Scott had just gone
TO work there that morning and
had worked but an hour and ten
minutes. He was well and favor
ably known here, having worked
at Glendenning & McCracken's
mill for several months and only
quit when the mill shut down.
There were several others hurt.

The report is that there is likely
to be a general uprising in Mexico
against President Diaz. An ad
venturer by the name of Cara has
been gathering together an insur.
rectionary force in Texas, and now
it is said that the church party
throughout the country are likely &c
join the revolutionists. Daz has
made himself obnoxious to the
priests by his successful efforts to
diminish their power over the peo-
pie, Diaz is one of the best rulers
Mexico has ever had, and it is to be
hoped that he will be successful IN
putting down the disturbance.

About Lighting the City.

Mayor Thompson and Alderman Mansfield
Went to Boston last week to consult Will
the Globe Lighting Company, with q view t,
lighting the streets Of Belfast. The lights
of this company are from gas, generated
of burning naptha. The cost of fitting III
fifty lights will be >:2S, and the expense
of running them sin hours for each Of the
so days in the year will be 500, and double
that amount, if they are run all night, In
addition to this there will be the expense OF
one man caring for and lighting the lamps
Tie lights eXtingulsh themselves. One pint
of naptha will last six hours, or one quart
for all night. The light is equivalent to an
ordinary gas-jet.
It will be seen that the expense of running
lights of this kind, after the lamps are in,
will be much less than at the present rate.
Mr.. Thompson thinks that the central OF
business portion of the city should have
electric lights, while the naptha might be
used in the residence portion of the city.
The gentlemen will make report to the
city government and action will he had later.
In the meantime an understanding has been
made to continue with the present electric
system. In the matter of lighting we are all
somewhat at sea, and must await develop
mtntS.

A Visit to Stockton Grange.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Patrons
to the number of about one hundred from
South Branch Grange, Prospect, and Granite
Grange, Searsport, met with Stockton Grange
on the evening of Oct. 9th. 1t was lovely
evening and all arrived on time Promptly
at half-past seven w. NJ, Warren Griffin
called the meeting to order. After listening
to a we'll arranged program, carried out i'll a
very pleasing manner, the Master announced
a clam stew in waiting in tile dining room
below Many of us knew what that meant,
as had been there before. and better
supper than was set before Il, it was never
your humble servants pleasure to partake
of before. Patrons, when | say this it means
something. After we had satisfied the wants
of the inner man all repaired t" the hall for
tucker. After the young folks got eIred o
plaving, and the older ones had lla,, good
long chat. Master Griffin called the members
to order and speech-making and songs We're
in order. Granite Grange was first called
upon and responded in a feeble nanner-too
full OF clam stew. South Branch was in the
same FIX There We're remarks from many
Of the members. but songs seemed to pre-
dominate Bro. Edward Partridge, of Stock
ton Grange, made some eXcellen, talk for
the good of the order. Sister Hichhorn,
of Stockton Grange, sang Home, Sweet
Home and it carried your humble servant
back twenty-five years to the time when a
resident of Stockton, and only a boy, he had
listened to her voice many and many time.
1t was past midnight when the Master an
nounced the labors of the day complete and
a good time ended, but not forgotten. No
such pleasant gathering will ever he for
gotten as long as memory remains. Patrons,
if YOU wish to have a good time visit Stock
ton Grange. ONE WHO WAS THERE.

The Belfast X. of p. Win a Prize.

Last week the annual field day of the Uni
formed Rank. knights of Pythias, was held
in Lewiston. Twelve divisions We're present
and the parade was fine one. The knights
of Lewiston and Auburn offered two prizes,
a silver water pitcher and a cake basket, to
the best drilled divisions in a competitive
match But two divisions competed--Bel-
fast. and Bavard Division of Waterviile
The Belfast Division was commanded by
Capt. F. H. Welch, and the Waterville Di-
vision by Capt. F. A. Lincoln. The drill
took place at the new city hall and was wit
messed by a large number of people. The
Judges We're Colonel H. l.. Kendall, of Bid
deford Major F. II. Storah, of Auburn, and
Captain Hartnett, of Portland; all of the ma
tonal guard. The Auburn Daily Gazette,
in its account of the drill, said
The Belfast company drilled "a men and
came in first, and went through the old mill
were a fine looking body of men and brought
out lots of applause from the galleries.
They We're Immediately followed by Bay
ard division of WatervIlle, with the same
number of men, The Waterville boys show
ed that there had been good deal of work
put III their drill, and showed proficiency
that is seldom seen in a Semi-military body
The first prize was awarded to Belfast di-
vision. It was an elegant silver water pitch
er. The second prize, silver plated cake
basket was awarded to Waterville.
The prizes We're presented in behalf OF the
committee by Colonel John Sahin, who, in Il
few we'll chosen words explained the objects
of the Uniform Rank, and the fact of this be-
ing the first competitive drill of the order.
Their superiority in precision of movement
and general soldierly bearing, was what won
the fist prize for the Belfast boys. The Bel
fast men, however, must look sharply after
their laurels, as the Watervlle knights are
not great ways behind.
The Belfast division arrived home Friday
noon and We're met at the station by the
Belfast band, and escorted through the
streets and to their armory. The knights
We're elated, and their many friends con-
graduated them on their we'll deserved sue
cess.
The prize arrived Saturday and was dis
played in the window of Chase & Son.
Monday evening the X. of p. held meet
ing and wet their pitcher with lemonade.
