Three Persons Were injured By an Explo-
sion Of Ether.
wAsnISeroN, April 30 Tile United
States patent Office was for the third time
visited by fire. The scene Of the blaze WAS
in the southwest corner Of the basement
in the Photographic blue print room, close
to crowded public thoroughfare. Mr..
Flint. chief Of this room, was pouring
ethor into five gallon jugs, when the liq-
uid exploded, and running down tho floor
came IN contact with the stove and ig-
nited.
Mr. Flint was caught in the flames and
severely burned about the face, arms and
shoulders He was removed to a drug
store across the street, where his wounds
were dressed, and he was then taken to
the Emergency hospital.
Watohman Parkins, who ran in TO see
what the trouble was, was also caught in
the flames and received painful burns

come by smoke and tainted, but was car
riod out uninjured by one Of the employ
eos. The room was filed with chemicals
and explosives which burned hercely ana
emitted vast volumes Of smoke, which
caused a hasty stampede Of the numerous
clerks employed in other portions Of the
building.
After half an hours hard work the fire
1Een extingushed the flames before they
could spread to the adjoining Offices The
loss was about 81 500, principally in pho
togrRphic apparatus. Most Of the original
drawings were saved, and Of those de-
stroyed a good many can be replaced.
Along tho halls in the vicinity were stored
a number Of files which contained records
Of the Office and other papers, and a great
number Of these were damaged by water.

The Line OF Battle Drawn.
From the Baltimore sun.
Not since the famous tariff-reform
message which President Cleveland sent
20 Congress In December, 1887, has any
word been spoken In the politics OF this
country so significant and SO pregnant
Of future results as that which the same
great leader has uttered In his letter to
the Chicago committee. 10 is word
spoken In season, aud Is worthy to ba-
come the rallying cry Of great party.
Disguise 1t as we may. says the Presi.
dent, ''the line of battle Is drawn be-
tween the forces Of a safe currency and
those Of monometallism " The great
overshadowing issue Of the hour-the
crucial issue OF 1S96-could not be
better. more clearly or aueclnctly stated
than Ia the distinction thus drawn be-
tween "a safe currency" and silver
monometallism. The crude theories OF
the Populists. the bold demands OF the
advanced silverltes like Stewart and
Teller, the specious and deceitful com.
promises OF men like German, and all
the suggestions Of the bimetsllists. who
demand equal parity Of value and free
dom Of coinage for two metals of
unequal value, lead to the Same thins.
AS all roads, according to the ancient
proverb lead to Rome, 50 all schemes Of

CHARGED WITH HERESY
DR.. Newton Does Not Believe
Christ Rose From the Tomb.

NEW YORK. April 2g.-The Rev Dr.
r. Heber Newton, the rector Of All Souls
church, at the corner OF Madison avenue
and Sixty-sixth street, preached on Sun
day morning on the Resurrection OF
Christ, with the result that several OF
his brother clereymen Of the Protestant
Episcopal church in this city are seriously
considering tho advisability Of making
formal charges Of heresy against him.
Those priests who were interviewed con
oerning the matter said that if Dr. New
ton gave utterance to the statements that
are credited TO him he should be deposed
from the ministry Of the church
One Of the more important assertions
made by Dr. Newton is the following;
"rhe general belief is that there was a
physical resurreotion-a rising from the

The Petition.

To the Honorable Senators and Repre-
sentstives, the Members Of the
Legislature OF the State Of Delaware: :
We, the undersigned water renters Of
the city Of Wilmington, believing that
the present system OF collection Of water
rents Is most unjust, burdensome and
unequal system of taxation, subversive
Of all Republican or Democratic prlnei-
pies, inasmuch as 1t places the burden Of
taxation on the shoulders of those who
are least able TO bear 1t, and believing
that the Water Department of the city OF
Wilmington Is deliberately perverting its
functions Chat Is 10 furnish water to the
people, into mere organization TO levy
taxes, and
Whereas, The Water Department did
on the s6th OF March turn over TO City
Of tax levy aud
Whereas, The said department. makes
a further promise Of $50 600 more. max
ing grand total OF $4,000 surplus in
one year, and
Whereas, We believe any competent
lawyer would decide that, that money is
not the proceeds Of tax, and
Whereas, The water commissioners
seem to be controlled by their own will,
only,
Therefore, We petition your honor
able body to enact such laws, as In your
Judgment would be BEST calculated to
grant us relief and, at ths same time, do
justice to every one, rich and poor alike.
AS We will ever pray.

improvements Have About Done Away
with This aiIway Annoyance.
Those who have travelled much by
rail are more or less acquainted with
the hot box. A hot box, as it is COM
monty called, really means a hot
journal bearing or a hot journal, or
both. 1t arises sometimes from the
use of poor material in the bearing,
sometimes on account of imperfect
casting, and metimes from too great
weight upon the bearing, producing
friction and heat.
than formerly. Some of the heaviest
cars are now carried upon six wheeled
trucks, thus distributing the weight
of each end of the car upon six jour
nal bearings instead of four, and re-
ducing the danger of excessive fric-
ton. Better materials are used and
the workmanship upon them is better,
weights to be carried are calculated
more nicely, and greater care is ex-
ercised in operation, SO that the hot
box is not what it once was. A man
thoroughly familiar with railroading
who made not long ago trip of 10, O0C
miles which included poin is as fan
apart as the City of Mexico. San Fran,
cisco and Chicago said that he die
not encounter hot box until he was
within twenty miles of New York or

Peter the Great.

A ST. Petersburg correspondent
telegraphs that an Englishman who
was passing lately through small
village in Russia, entered peasants
cottage to ask for cup of tea Hang
ing on the wall, framed in a tea-tray,
the edges of which were turned over
the canvas, he noticel portrait in
oil of Peter the Great. Having bought
it for half-a-crown, he showed it in
st. Petersburg to the cura tors of the
Hermitage gallery who, after consult
ing their catalogues, identified it
pretty surely with the picture at Yer
sailles; but considered that if they
were by the same hand, or copied one
from the other, the copy was at Yer
sailles, and the original was this.
The portrait, if not the finest of any
existing is inferior to none, and will
probably be purchased eventually by
the imperial family.

A Takers Appetite Encourager Not

The dapper little man in the check

dived into the center of it. He didn't
take time to stop to find out what
was the reason of the crowds gath
ering, but began business at once.
The thick cane was given dexterous
twist that developed it into tripod
and the large yellow valise was
placed on top of it.

man. The crowd concentrated it's

He said no more. The crowd OF

all, down over his head and chased
him up the street at wondrous speed

known from one end of the country to
the other. She was poet and had a
remarkable talent for writing beg

Many of the poems are beautiful, and

She was said to be one of the best re-

Queen Isabella gave her a pension
