DIR SPECIAL REPORT.

El Paso, Tex, July 23.-(Special.) 1.-The
town of Silver City, N. NJ, was almost
entirely destroyed by a cond hurst Sun
day might, as indicated in these dis
patches yesterday, accompanied by loss
of S150,0OO. The raging torrent poured
DOWN the canyon from the Mogollen noun
tains, striking the town about 10 O'Clock.
Fortunately the people Were on the lookout
and NO one was drowned. The main
street, ON which most of the business
houses and public buildings were situated,
is i'm the hollow of ravine down which
the raging food CHASED for victims.
Striking the postoffice, it made quick work
of the building and many other structures;
The Trimmer House, fremont House and
Broadway the three leading hotels, were
complete wrecks, and the store of Gillette
& Sons was flooded till at least $4,000
of the stock of goods was ruined. Many
other houses were more or less damaged
and some of them are crumbfng down
today. The railroad and telegraph lines
were carried away and it will he impossi-
BILE to get complete details before to-
morrow.

ard china ware, and this artistic paint
ed glass are chiefly from Cincinnati,
though of course other places are well
represented. l observe that the southern
states here as in all the other buildings
are represented almost entirely by what
is useful, and, except from the Tate
Marble works, I cannot find an ar
ticle valuable only for beauty that is
distinctively southern. Perhaps the
south is too new a country industriaIly
for the fine arts to have developed. The
great exception is embroidery. Many
fine collections of that are southern, and
the colored ladies especially are worthy
of high praise. How we do miss the
Japanese from this building, with their
wonderful vases and damaskeening, and
the Siamese, with their ivory carving,
and that fine work from Vienna. and
those marvellous dresses shown by the
French. Still there is enough here, and
the useful. the solidly practical, are
most needed at the start.
1t is amusing to observe how short
time the rural visitors stay in the Art
hall, and how modestly each one Gttrib-
utes his lack of interest to the fact that
he couldn't understand nothin about
it." After a stroll among Alabama's
minerals we are weary enough to stop
at the next building, that of Illinois, and
reclining in the easy chairs on her broad
porch enjoy the beauty Of the scene in
the mellow light of the setting sun.

German is shouting, and all the Arabs,
Chinese and negroes are making racket,
for this is their best hour, and l have
noticed in all countries that the dark
races seem to wake up and take on ex-
ira animation at twilight. 1t is then
you can hear the negroes singing on the
farms, perhaps because the time has

SECRETARY CARLISLE gives it as his
opinion that in Kentucky the free silver
crowd beat the Democratic ticket He
is doubtless about right. And why
shouldn't the free silver crowd beat the
Democratic ticket when its candidates
were running on a gold bug platform.
Those Kentucky Democrats evidently
know more than they were given credit
for. They were smart enough to know
that even though Hardin was a friend of
silver if he should be elected it would be
heralded the length and breadth of the
land as a victory for sound money" and
the administration and an endorsement
of Carlisle and his policy. The wiley
secretary carefully set his trap like that
of the sable son Of Africa to catch coon,
"a comm and a goin',' but in this case
the coon was too smart and ran off with
the trap, bait aud all. The Democratic
friends of silver have not yet forgotten
the trick played on them by the party at
Chicago and they will not forget before
next falls election.

Well, am not stuck on relics myself,
unless they consist of things actually
made by the noted person, or fragments
which actually give some ideal of the

ONE DAY AT THE FAIR.
Around the Atlanta Exposition
With a Cosby Guido.
HE WANDERS THROUGH BUILDINGS

And About the Grounds DiscOursing
Extraordinarily on the Things TO BE
Seen and Making Companions.
Let Us take a day in the Atlanta ex-
position and make the entire round,
since nature invites with such alluring
smiles The cool morning air is SO crisp
and bracing that the toned up nerves
fairly sing like harp when tuned, and
the reviviied blood bounds through the
body and tingles in the finger ends. The
last leaves are curled on the trees, and
since the white frost came nightly most
Of them now litter the streets, but there
is still a balm in the air from the au-
tumn woods, and by a. N. it is just
warm enough, SO soft, so sweet are these
dry November days in Piedmont Geor-
gia. So let us to the ''car shed," as At
lantians sneeringly call their Union
depot, and take the Southern Railway
company's exposition train.
But why the Southern, when a troll
ley car can be caught in any part of the
city?
Well, there is no wait here. and in
seven minutes it will take US to the cen
ter of the east side and best point for
the first general view. But if you want
to take time and enjoy the ride, go by
the trolley lines through the long and
lovely avenues, for there is no place in
the country, unless it is on Euclid ave-
nue., Cleveland, where one can get more
enjoyment out of common car ride
than in the suburbs of Atlanta. From
the railroad cars we pass through the
gates to the pretty little building in
which the Southern railway system has
an exhibit of all the ores, woods and
farm products on its many lines. It is

son is designed for the army and the
younger son contents himself with life
on the ocean wave. In the case of the
sons of Prince Frederick Of Denmark
this rule was followed. Prince Chris
tian, the elder son, is a soldier, and
Prince Charles is sailor He is a lieu
tenant in the navy of Denmark, and
thus far has done nothing to demonstrate
that he is brighter than any other young
Dane Of good birth of his age.
Princess Maud of Wales is the youn-
gest daughter of the Prince and Princess
of Wales, and has the reputation of be-
ing very bright and popular young wo-
man. She was born Nov. 90, 1869, and
is about three years older than the
prince Of Denmark, who is to become
her husband. During the past few years
Princess Maud has been reported en-
gagged to about every eligible prince and
wifeless statesman in Europe. For a
time it was declared again and again
that she was to marry Lord Rosebery.
Then the Prince of Naples, the heir ap-
parent to the throne of Italy, was al
legged to be the fortunate young man
who was to lead her to the altar. This
rumor proved to have no more founda-
ton in fact than the Rosebery report,
and an end has finally been put to such
stories by the official announcement of
her bethrotEaI to Prince Charles of Den
mark. AS Charles has brother between
him and the Danish throne, and rs both
he and his bride to be are poor, the fu-
ture does not look particularly promis-
ing for Princess Maud.

SENATOR BRIcE is said to have de-
signs on the presidency. A man who
can maintain residence in three states
at the same time ought to be successful
in almost anything he undertakes. True
he was unable to secure a legislature
favorable to his return to the senate this
year. but it is said that he was sharp
enough to find it out before he spent any
of his good money in the campaign. His
way of doing this was unique and is
thus described by an eastern newspaper
correspondent:
Three tours did he make across the
state by special train. Each time he
took with him a railroad superintendent
and the duty of this official was to go to
each station agent along the line and
say TO him: There is a gentleman in the
car out here who wants to talk poll
tics with you. He doesn't care what
party you belong to, but he wants you
to tell him just what you hear and think.
He wants you to be frank and honest
with him" When the agnnt entered the
car he was taken in hand by Mr. Brice.
In two minutes he had ascertained all
that agent knew about the political stu
alton, all be had learned from his inter
course with travellers, with shippers and
with politicians. Then the special car
was hurried on to the next station, where
the process was repeated.
In this way Brice gagged public senti-
ment in Ohio, and he gagged it 80 &C
curately that he decided not to make
fight for the state, He knew there was
no chance of success. All he did do was
to make show for the sake of appear
ances. for the sake of holding the party
together. The result is q justification of
his Judgment and of his method.

the central or highland south epitomized.
Pass around this building and you come
at once to the point from which can be
had the best general view of the grounds.
Before US is an oval basin, about half
of which is taken up by the double lake
they call Clara Mere and the rest by the
Plaza, with walks, seats aud fountains.
Around this basin except to the north
east the land rises i'll terrace and knoll,
and on the commanding points are the
principal buildings, the Art hail, with
futed columns slowing III the far north
west, like a Greek temple. Take par
ticular notice of that island in the lake
and the electrical tower near by, for
there you Will see tonight the latest tri-
umphs of science over the mysterious
force, and some pyrotechnics beyond
your most dazzling dreams.
But are there not much finer fireworks
elsewhere than this little city can get
up?
Not in this world Some other world
perhaps.
The first big structure to our right is
the Transportation building. Sporting
and athletic goods are also shown here,
by association, 1 suppose, with bicycles,
Of which the number, variety and beauty
are enough to make the Oldest man an en-
thusiast. Farther along are vehicles
made of aluminium, the ''new metal, "
as some folks call it. They are marvel
ously pretty, little too bright and
shiny for my old eyes, but SO light that
the smallest horse could draw a family
in one and scarcely know it. They are
admittedly only a promise as yet, for
aluminium isn't quite cheap enough for
that, though it has cheapened much fas-
ter than any other metal
Don't fail to thoroughly examine this
varied map or model Of the Nicaragua
canal, 80 feet long and nearly as broad,
with all the mountains and hills, the
lake and river shown at their relative
size and height and the oceans on both
sides. 1t is beautiful and instructive,
and Just now has unusual interest. We
go next to the Electricity building, which
isn't much to boast Of in the daytime,
but is brilliant at night, like some other
beauties we know. As we step out at
the north end of it we meet with sur
prise-an abrupt descent, at the bottom
a creek, with rocky banks, and beyond
that a woodland and cotton field, all
in a state of nature.
We will go along the north side to the
| Woman S building and put in an hour or
two in looking at the colonial and other
relics. Every one of these hits of silk
and jewelry has its history and the old
letters and documents are extremely Gu
rious.

LATER returns from kentucky indicate
that the Populists will hold the balance
of power in the legislature of that state,
aud can control the election of United
States senator if they so desire. The
Democrats have sixty eight members,
the Republicans sixty-eight, and the
Populists two, one of whom is claimed
by each of the other parties as an ally.
1t is evident therefore that by getting
together the Populists can at least force
the election of friend of silver if the
other parties stand firm.
