A SUCCESSFUL Jail delivery was effected
at Toledo, o., last Saturday morning. A
turnkey went into the corridor to get shaved
by the prison barber. He was no sooner
seated and lathered than the prisoners
bounced upon him. took away his keys and
handouts, put the handouts on his hands
and locked him in cell. The rest was
easy sailing, and the men got an hours start
before the alarm was given.
The Gumrey hotel at Denver, Col, was
wrecked by boiler explosion shortly after
midnight last Sunday night. Twenty. five
men and women were either killed by the
explosion or persisted in the flames that fol-
lowed. The explosion was caused by the
act of a drunken boy, who, when the boiler
was at white heat, let cold water into the
tubular machinery. The boy escaped unin-
jured, and would have been hung to tele-
phone pole but for the protection Of the
police.
THE appointment Of Hon. Matt W. Ran
som of North Carolina as United States
minister to Mexico seems to have been a
huge blunder on the part OF President
Cleveland. Mr. Ransom's incumbency of
the Office has been declared to be contrary
to the federal constitution. Section two,
article 6, of the constitution, reads: mo
senator or representative shall, during the
time for which he is elected, be appointed
to any civil office under the authority of the
United States which shall have been Gre
ated or the emoluments whereof shall have
been increased during this time" This
provision apparently fitted the case of Mr..
Ransom, for he was nominated by Presi-
dent Cleveland and confirmed by the sem
ate before his term of Office as senator from
North Carolina had expired, and during
that term the salary of the Mexican mission
had been increased $1,000 year.
In spite of their declarations in favor of
silver, the silver men in the department of
agriculture at Washington are protesting
against the action of Secretary Morton in
directing the disbursing officers of that de-
partment to pay them their salaries in sill
yer. The statistician of the department, an
eloquent silver man, received eleven pounds
of silver dollars on pay-day, which he car
ried to half dozen banks one very hot
afternoon before he found a charitable
cashier who would give him paper for it,.
Last Saturday some of the clerks, messen-
gers and laborers, who have been talking
Of the silver dollar as the poor mans

with silver certificates.
