Fort. Thousand Majority.

Forty Thousand Majority.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Representative
John A. Caldwell has just returned from a
ten days visit to his home at Cincinnati,
of the Mckinley campaign in Ohio. Judge
Caldwell is chairman OF the Republican
congressional campaign committee and an
astute politician. In talking TO the Journal
correspondent this evening Judge Caldwell
said: Il confidently anticipate a majority
or not less than 5000 for Governor Nc
Kinley in the State. and / figure the Re-
publican majority in Hamilton county,
where Cincinnati is located, from 1000 to
10000. Hamilton county has been giving a
Democratic majority of about 5000. Some
OF the business men there believe the ma
Jor1ty for Mckinley will be as high as H.
VUO. The business men, almost to man,
will support Mckinley. The manufacturers
and nearly all of the intelligent and we'll
Informed laborers will also vote the Repub-
ncan ticket. They are determined to re-
buke this Democratic Congress, first for
having accomplished nothing. and, second
ly, for being determined, if it accomplished
and the credit OF the country. Mckinley
has made the greatest campaign of his life,
and every day he grows better. His op-
ponent, Larry Neal who favors free
trade, while having TO stand by the admin
istration for the demonetization of silver,
is also advocating free State bank circula-
ton and wildcat currency. No; the un-
conditional repeal of the silver law will
come too late to do the Democrats in Ohio

FIRE IN A PRISON.
The Foundry of the Nebraska Peniten-
tiary Destroyed Last Night.

LINCOLN, Neb, Oct. 26.-Between and
o'clock this evening word was sent to the
city that the penitentiary was on fire. The
building is four miles south of this city,
but the fire department was soon on the
way. Rumors of the widest nature were
telephoned in from the scene, until it was
generally credited that the penitentiary was
being destroyed and the unfortunate inmates
roasted alive. At one time it was given
out that fifty had perished. 1t was two
hours before the straight story could be
learned.
Fire broke out in the foundry department
of the Lincoln Stove and Furnace Company
Just before O'Clock. BY this time all the
convicts had been counted and put to bed
in their cells. The building entirely
consumed. 1t was owned by the State, en-
failing a loss to the public of $4,000. The
contractors will lose upwards of $4,000
on product and machinery, although how
much the loss will be cannot be actually
stated tonight. Only partial insurance was
carried. The penitentiary proper was un-
touched Work in the prison shops will be
interfered with for some days. owing to
the cutting off of power on steam connec-

PESTS ABOARD SHIP.
Crew of Schooner TerrOrized by
Scorpions, Spiders and Bugs.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 26 - The three
masted schooner Wallace J. Boyd, Captain
Godfrey made fast to her wharf early
yesterday morning from Montevideo after
long and tedious passage Slowed away
in her hold was a mass of bones, gathered
from the plains on the river Platte by the
natives. Putrid flesh was still clinging to
many of these bones. while look into the
hold showed a slight motion amongst the
cargo made by vast army of green bugs,
which, together with numerous other in
sects, made the voyage a horrible night
mare to all hands. During the voyage the
crew were at times driven almost frantic
with torture from these pests, which.
crawling over them while asleep, prevented
them from securing rest. Ugly-looking
spiders had woven their webs in all con-
ceivable places, and 1t was nothing unusual
to see a member of the crew after seeking
sleep come forth covered with cobwebs
Fleas were also constant source of torture
TO the men. Some time after the vessel
left port scorpion was found crawling
about and an attempt TO kill it was made.
but it managed To escape. From then on
the men, before retiring, always gave their
bedding n thorough search for SCORPIONS
whose sting meant death. but none were
found. The men believe there are plenty
among the cargo. The bones are princiDal-
ly those of horses and cattle.

There are great many propositions be-

The queen colony of Southern Califor-
mia is South Riverside, and there is none
whose prospects of advancement, growth
and development look any finer than it.
Within few short months it will
have new transcontinental railroad
running into its confines-the Southern
Pacific. The road is already surveyed
through from the main line, by way of
Riverside, aud when it's trains are run
ming into South Riverside look out for
an unparalleled era of pros perity.
Alrerdy the place has one
railroad. the Santa Fe, but the remark
able natural resources of the surround
ing country and the favorable location
OF the place demand more transportation
facilities, which are soon to be supplied.
Today South Riverside is beautiful
little city of about 1000 people. 1t is
just II miles from Riverside, on slope
extending down to the railroad track.
The city has been built up in a very few
years. The people are active, enterpris-
ing and energetic. There are public
schools, banks, stores of various kinds,
and one OF the finest hotels in Southern
California-the Temescal-an illustra-
tlon OF which appears below.

Greves Not Very Old Sold for $500 an

In and around the colony are some
very choice young orange groves. They
are always in demand and transfers are
frequently recorded. The following from
the South Riverside Bee, the excellent
weekly newspaper printed there, illus
trates practically what these young or
ange groves are bringing:
"Messrs. George l.. Joy and William
Jameson have sold that splendid young
orange grove at the corner of Kellogg
and Magnolia avenues, being lot L, block
46, to d. B. Howasd of St. Louis, Mo.
The price paid was 5000 per acre, and
we must say that Mr.. Howard got a
bargain as that is one of the choicest TO-
acre tracts in the colony as it is right on
top of the gentle rise of ground at the
corner of those two avenues. The trees
are fine ones and have made a vigorous
growth the past season. What differ
ent piece OF property block 46 is today
from what it was less than two years
ago."
1t is admitted that the land at South
Riverside is unsurpassed for orange
culture anywhere. The lands are also
adapted to the culture of raisin grapes.
lemons, olives, prunes, peaches, walnuts,
figs, apricots and all other fruits grown
in Southern California. A large area of
land has been planted with fruit trees,
mostly orange, though decided move
ment has been made in the direction of
planting out lemon trees. The oranges
and lemons already raised here are fine.
The first car of oranges was shipped
on the 9TH inst, and there are quite a
number of cars of oranges to follow. The
prospects for future success cannot be
greater anywhere.
