An Experimental Blow Up
Accident in the Dangerous
Room" in Patent Office.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-The United
States Patent Office was for the
third time visited by fire about
1:l5 o'clock this afternoon. The scene
Of the blaze was in the southwest cor
ner of the basement 10 the photo
graphic blue print room, close to a
crowded public thoroughfare. Mr..
Flint, chief of this room, was pouring
ether into a fve-gallou bottle when
the bottle fell to the slate floor and
broke. Mr.. Flint began sweeping it
toward the door, remarking to those
about to be careful with lamps. etc.
Some Of the fluid reached the stove,
aud there was 40 explosion which
vas quickly followed by a second With
considerable force, blowing up about
seventy-6ve bottles. Mr.. Flint vas
blown through the door, his head strik-
ing a mass of papers iu the hallway.
He arose, his clothing in a fame, and
rushed for the area, calling for help.
Besides Mr.. Flint, there were 10 the
room at the time Of the explosion, As
slstant Photographer Theilkill, J. b.
Wheat, Jr J.. E. Latimer and Mr..
Balckage. assistants.
Mr.. Wheat was standing GEAR Mr..
Flint and was also blown through the
door, his hair ablaze and his clothing
.orn. He received no permanent in-
iuries and attended to Mr.. Flint. Mr..
Lasimer was blown through the open
window and on to the lawn, and was
followed through the adjoining window
by Mr.. Balckage. who was in the dark
room at the time.
Mr.. Thielkill vas blown across the
room by the first explosion, and was
blown through the window by the sec
oud. His escape from injury was a
miracle. His apron was on FIRE, his
head singed, his hat blown into frag-
ments and his coat torn in numerous
places.
Stored IN the room were eighteen
gallons of collodion, 200 gallons of
ether and 100 pounds of gun cotton. Of
course these and everything else in
the room were totally destroyed. BY
3 o'clock quiet was restored in the
bni'!lng. aud the paoic-stricken clerks,
many of whom had rushed out of the
building screaming, resumed their
work.
The loss was about $1,000 principal

tered the financial end of his office
according to law. The whole charge
is so trivial that it is hardly worth
noticing except as an example of the
desperate straits to which grand
party has been reduced. The law
requires the State Bank Examiner to
turn over to the state Immediately all
money collected for the state. The
whole charge hinges on the meaning
of the word Immediately. MIR. Breid-
enthal and his deputies are away from
Topeka for weeks at time and it ha,
been the custom of the Bank examiner
to make his settlement with the state
when ever lie could make settlement

them TO come i'm simply to settle. 1t
is apparent ut a glance that if the
deputies come III to settle every time
they examined bank a heavy bill for

Comparisons, it is said, are odious, and
IN this case certainly the blush of shame
mounts the check of the average man
when he contemplates the fact While
some 800 schools are maintained, over
1000 children are in attendance and 1875
days On an average are taught yearly in
each district, there are 682 saloons run
ming 365 days in the year and taking over
the bar more than $3,600,O00 annually,
or sixteen times the amount spent for
education.
AS the entire amount of gold and silver
produced only equals the liquor bill it
matters little about the ratio of gold and
silver, so the parity between the saloon
and the school house is kept at the nor
NAL condition of is to l.. 1t requires but
800 teachers to manage the schools while
to run the wet goods department requires
692 proprietors or firms and at least l, 900
extra bartepders. So long as the present
ratio is maintained between the saloon
and the school house 80 long will tramps
infest this fair, rich and productive
country, and poverty will have front
seat at many bearthstone; so long will
want and despair, suicide and lunacy be
on the increase. Already the number of
suicides yearly Is alarming, while the
number of insane persons exceeds that of
any state or territory in proportion to
population. Is there something wrong
with the ratio? Or is it in the quality of
liquor dispensed ?-Phenix, A. T., Review.

sixty days when the 3lst Legislative as
sembly could be characterized as Dem
ocratic. 1t was dominated by Doodle in
fuences and Republican bosses from
start to finish, and yet, thanks to the
shrewdness, tact and ability of such men
as Curry, Dame, Hinkle, Victory, S. Mar

there was very little vicious legislation.

plished.
In answer, the New MEXICAN will be
borne out by the official record of the
legislative proceedings when it asserts
that the said combine has net succeeded
in passing any measure, in either house,
that it has advocated; nor has it, after al
its Boosting and self-assertive import
ance, been able to defeat legislation sug-
gested and supported by the better ele-
