SAVED BY HIS HORSE.
Peculiar Escape OF a Man From a
Break in the Ice.

Break In the ICE.
Lewiston Journal.
The story comes up from below the
city about man who attempted to cross
the AndioScoggin ON the ice and was
swamped, together with his team. He
had been hauling wood across the river
for several days, ami had just one more
load to haul.
As the water was I'D on the face of
the ice he first, thought to put off hauling
it. but the thought that perhaps there
would not be another chance to haul it
made him go across. When he started
back he thought he wouldn't go in the
same track where lie had hauled the
rest, so he went little above.
The ice began to crack slowly when
be got to the middle. Quick as flash he
unfastened the two tugs and one hold
back. Then he struck the horse violently
with the whip. At the same time the
sled load of wood went through with
crash. lie commenced to sink with it,
but when the horse had been struck he
jumped ahead and, breaking the off
holdback. jerked the man OIL of the load
and dragged him to the shore with the
reins. There he stopped and the man
got up.
When he looked back the top of the
wood and the shafts could be seem
sticking out of the hole in the ice. The
water was not deep. He says that he
would rather lose the wood than go
near the hole again. 1t is frozen In now.

Used in Decoration.
1t is very doubtful whether any build
ing within the grounds of the great fair
will attract more attention than that de-
voted to transportation. 1t is radically
distinct from all the others, at least as
to external appearance. The external
walls are decorated in cOlorS about as
brilliant and varied in design as those
found in Turkish rug, while all the
other great structures are white or
cream-colored. And the exhibits
to be found within. when all
have been placed, will be as va
ried as the colorS on the outside walls.
Unfortunately. the exhibits are not
all in place, and there is Il prospect that
they may not be for at least fortnight
to come. There are enough exhibits in
place, however, to give one an idea as
to what may be expected. The exhibit
in the transportation building com
prises everything from Mexican don
key to modern Locomotives; from Il
birch bark canoe to a Iull-SZeG model
of a modern ocean greyEou nd.
Just within the main entrance to this
building. known as the 'IOiden Gate"
Is model of Christopher Columbus
flagship, the Santa Maria. Branching
out from this point are aisles leading to
all parts of the building. The railway
companies occupy the greater portion
of the space devoted to exhibits. There
are solid vestibuied trains AMI locomo-

CLEVELAND Ar CHURCH.
The President Spends a Quiet
Day in Chicago.

CHICAGO. April 3O.-President Cleve-
land and the members of his cabinet at
tended divine service this morning at
the Second Presbyterian church at
Twentieth street and Michigan avenue,
two squares north of the Lexington
hotel, where the president is stopping.
Word had been sent that the party
would attend the services and arrange
ments had been made so that the entire
party could be seated together.
The entry into church was made
in the most quiet manner
possible. the president and Sec
retary Of State Gresham entering side
by side, followed closely by the other
members of the cabinet. There had
been 10 formal announcement Of the
presidents intention to attend the
church save to the ushers. who had pre-
pared seats for them, and his walking
up the aisle created something of a SEN
SatiOn, though not an audible one.
After the pastor, the Rev. Simon j. Nc
Pherson, had concluded the services,
during which he invoked the divine
blessing upon the exposition and its
mission of good will among men,
the president entered Mr.. Gresh-
am's carriage and was quickly
driven to the home of the
secretary at Twenty-sixth street and
Prairie avenue, where he dined. A
pleasant feature of his visit to the house
of Secretary Gresham was the chrIsten-
ing of the granddaughter of the Secre
tary, the child OF Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews.
None but Mr.. Cleveland and the mme-
diate members OF the Gresham family
were present at the christening. otto
Gresham. the uncle Of the infant, was
the godfather. After the christening,
Mr.. Cleveland was driven back to the
Lexington hotel, where he remained
quietly during the evening.

HORTICULTURE.
Every Variety OF Plant to Be Seen
There.

The horticultural building was one of
the first to receive exhibits, and its in
terror has been kept in state OF tropic-
al warmth throughout the entire winter.
From one END to the othsr, arranged in
perfect system and with exquisite taste,
are every variety cf plants and flowers
known to all zones. Orchids 10 the
value of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are on exhibition, and the great
triumph of the exposition is the unique
spectacle of a century plant, 500 years
old, in full bloom. This plant has at
tracted thousands of visitors for weeks,
and will continue to DO so until i.
has run its race, as the trediCion is
that tile plant must wither away after
this centennial bloom. The horticult-
ural building is heated by an ingenious
system, which furnishes warm, damp air
of an uuvarying temperature, and the
plants flourish luXuriantly under its
balmy influence. The building is one
of the most conspicuously located of the
fair, having floor space of six and one
half acres, and costing over 100000. In
front OF The building is a lower terrace
and a low parapet. In front of this ter

MACHINERY HALL.
"A Great Deal of the Exhibit Will
BE in Operation.

Nearly all the heavy machinery is in
place in machinery hall, aud much of it
will be in operation from the opening
day, but there is great deal yet to be
done. Dozens of small engines to exc
cute cunning work are still in the cases.
When everything is IN place, however.
the inventive genius Of the closing de
cade of the century may be seen in this
building. Its interior will be one great
maze OF moving machinery. There will
be huge monsters of the power Of 1000
horses and delicate machines for max
ing the tiny wheels of a watch. Phe
steam power which will move the null
tifarious machinery of this building is
supplied from a large power house ad-

AGRICULTURAL BUILDING.
Practically Everything Seems to
Be in Confusion.

De III SOHluSiOH.
The interior of the agricultural build
ing presents very much the appearance
of a Kansas village just after rainleSs
cyclone. Boxes, bundles, sheaves, grain,
bottles, skins, agricultural implements
and machinery are distributed in ap-
parently hopeless confusion all over the
building, and scarce dozen of the hun
dreds OF exhibits appear to be taking
on any systematic shape. 1t is apparent
to the novice that weeks must elapse
before the exhibits of the agricultural
the visitor of ethical taste. Several of
the more energetic exhibitors have,
however. made commendable progress,
though the entire building as yet
fails to show single exhibit COM
pleted. The Liberia exhibit, at
the northwest entrance. will be
complete in few days and is al
ready one of the interesting features of
the fair Arranged in tasteful design
are collections Of elephant tuSks,
leopard and tiger skins, savage
weapons, grains and specie. The eX-
hibit of crocodile skins, Demerara rum
and stuffed beasts of the tropics is near
by, and farther down the aisle is the
great New South Wales wool exhibit,
nearly complete, but still lacking the
finishing touches. The Canadian eX-
hibit is we'll on, and the Ontario depart
ment, including the Ontario college eX-
hibit, with thousands Of glasses Of
grains and cereals, already attracts
every visitor. The French section and
the French agricultural college, of Paris,
and an exhibit of American threshing
machines, and two or three distillery
and mineral water displays constitute
about all the rest OF interest.

A CoMpRoMIsE BILL.
New Silver Measure to Be INTRO
duced at Once,

NEW YORK, Feb. ia special from
Washington to the World says: An i'm
portant step towards the re-opening OF
the silver question before this congress
expires was advised today at a
secret conference held at the
residence of Mr.. Carlisle, the next sec
rotary of the toeasury. Representa-
tiveS of both the free silver and anti
silver factions were present, and
free expression of views as to
the possibility of passing a
compromise bill was held. A PROPOSE
ton, which did not come from the anti
free silver men, was finally settled upon.
This scheme is to suspend the silver
purchases under the Sherman act until
the seignorage silver shall be coined
at the rate of 100000 month.
Mr.. Carlisle took no sides in the con-
ference, but simply explained the effects
of both propositions OH the treasury.
Before the conference closed, Mr..
Cox, of Tennessee, speaking for
the silver men present, SAID
that while he was not strongly in favor
of the propositions. he thought that
perhaps it was the wisest action
that could be taken with SO lit
tie time intervening between now
and the close Of the session.
1t is understood tonight that bill car
rying out the compromise will be in
troduced tomorrow by Mr.. Livingston,
and it looks now as if an attempt would
be made this week to get the bill
through the house.
