The Roanoke daily times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1895-1897, 1896-03-08

Now that Great Britain has furnished
q copy of the Blue Book on the Guiana
Venezuelan boundary to the United
States Com Is sion, it Is hard to see how
that government could go any further,
unless it officially turned the whole dis
pute over to the Commission for de-
clsion. While not admitting the right
OF the latter to settle the question. the
English are 30 confident Of the strength
OF their position, that they expect the
Commission to accept their claims when
they have been fully investigated.
Should the British side, however, not be
accepted, the matter would have to be
settled by arbitration or war. AS neither
Great Britain nor the United States de-
sires rupture of friendly relations,
each ought to be willing to make any

WILL 1T Re CARLISLE ?

The Senatorial situation in the Ken
lucky Legislature has reaohed very
interesting stage. Two ballots were
taken yesterday, and at one time when
Populist Poor cast his vote for Senator
Blackburn, 1t began to look like che
deadlock was broken, and that the
fearless free silver advocate would be
elected after all. Several Republicans,
however, voted for Carlisle. and this
drew back to him the support of the
"sound money" Democrats who had
gone to Blackburn. AS the friends Of
the latter saw chance for electing
their man, they were anxious for the
voting to continue; but after one more
ballot the Legislature adjourned until
Monday, leaving the position practically
unchanged.
That the turning point in the contest
has been reached, however, there is lit.
tie doubt, and If the Republicans who
voted for Carlisle are really in earnest
he may be elected Senator after oil.
At any rate, the adjournment seems to
have been better for him, so far as
reaching the Senatorshsp is concerned,
than for Mr.. Blackburn; but the Re-
publicnns may be playing deep game,
which will be more fully developed on
Monday, although 1t ia probable they
would rather assist In -eleosing u sound
money Democrat than by prolonging
the contest render the election OF sil-
YER advocate probable. The contest
has been long and tedious one, and
has fully demonstrated the splendid
staying qualities OF Senator Blackburn
and his friends. AS all things. however,
must have an end; 30 the Kentucky
deadlock must finally be brought to q
close, and that such an event seems on
the eve Of contamination, the develop
ments OF the past few days lead on
lockers to believe. If Republican
Senator cannot be elected, it looks very
much as II Carlisle would be chosen;
but we will see what we shall see.

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

1t Is to Horace Noulcs that tho suc-
cess of the amazing newspaper. London
Truth, Is due from the business stand
point. The manager is practically never
absent from the Office, says Pearson's
Weekly. 1t is related that on one occa-
sion he was persuaded to take q holiday
Mr.. Labouchere promised to look after
everything in his absence. He managed
to get as far as Dover, and there he found
telegram awaiting him. 1t was from La :
bouchere himself: "Will it matter very
much If Truth does not come out next
week. Mr.. NOules took the next train
back to London.
All of which reminds me of another an
ecdote. To appreciate it fully it must be
known that Mr.. Noules on occasions has
a way Of bestowing chilling glances on
people which raise the expectation of the

some day be found somewhere around
Truth office. One day, just as Mr.. Noules
had gone to press with the latest number
of the paper, in rushed Mr.. Labouchere--

had made Il discovery; he had lighted upon
an absolutely unprecedented piece of
copy" Whatever happened. it must 70
in that week. The paper had gone to
press. Very well. the machines must be
stopped. Mr.. Noules did not say anything.
He picked up the manuscript, looked
through it, and then. fixing his glasses,
turned q whitening glance on poor Labby.
Still he did not say a word; only he opened
file of Truth. and quietly pointed to the
very para graph. 1t had appeared five
weeks before.

FUNNY NOTIONS.

With all its other peculiarities and
attainments, the patent Office is known
as the great American crank pen, ana
1t is this feature of it that presents the
humorous aspect The great number
of utterly impractcable and almost
ridiculous devices for which patents
are asked is a source of amusement
and wonder to those who get an IN
sight into the matter. wheels in the
head" seems to be an apt designation
of the mania which possesses hundreds
of men who are busying themselves
in the field of invention, and a glance
through the recent files at any time will
reveal some new insanity in mechar-
| ism upon which patent Is asked.
Years ago, in the days of frequent In
| dian depredations. when the frontier
covered a good deal more ground than
| it does now, some rural genius invent
| ed a common plow that was to have its
| beam filed grape and canisZter ready
| for use in case of surprise by the red
skins. Another western chap designed
| q cyclone house which was to be an
| chored at the four corners as protec-
| tion against cyclones. Among the
| other oddities noted is a tapeworm
| trap, to he inserted through the mouth
| to catch the unwary tapeworm when
! he ventures too far off his reservation,
| and an illuminated metal cat, with eyes
of fire, designed to be holy terror 70
rats and mice.
A later device of the funny sort bur
| one with some possible utility. is a hen S
nest in which the egg drops through a
trap door as soon as deposited by the
| hen. the object being to make the hen
believe she has not succeeded in laying
| an egg. Still later than this is an in
vention by a man named Batter which
| consists Of a shoe with a heating ap-
| paratus in the sole to keep the feet
warm. also a steering cOntrivance for
| hunting dogs, consisting Of fan at
| tachment to the tail of the dog to as
| sist him in turning sharp corners. In
| recent years many of the crank devices
are of the electrical sort. One of the
/ most ingeniously impracticable of these
is "pickpocket and coat thief detec-
tor" invented by a Chicago man. 1t

Dispatches were received from Au-

gone off satisfactorily. When Gov
ernor Morton turned the key a volume
of fluorescent light danced through
the tubes that environed the place
where he stood. simultaneously
the electric lights around the differ
ent exhibits blazed out in different
colors and created sight that looked
like scene from Fairyland.
One of the most interesting exhibits
was that of Edison, showing the tele-

earliest form of electric lighting,
transmission motors, models and mis-
cellaneous exhibits, together with four
sets of apparatus, with which experts
gave exhibitions of the ROentpen rayS

ANAWFUL EXPLOSION.
A FIVE STORY BUILDING
WRECKED BY GASOLINE.
Many People Killed In CIncinnati-E Eight
cen More or Less Seriously Injured
Explosion of an Engine Causes Havoc
In the Heart of the City.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, May 5. - At 8
o'clock last night the five story build
ing, 43O and 432 Walnut street, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, was
blown to the ground by an explosion
of gasoline engine. The shock was
so terrific that it was felt all over the
city, and not one brick upon another
is left in the front and rear walls of
the building, while the adjacent
buildings are badly damaged and the
glass in the windows in the Gibson
house and the large Johnson building
across the street were all broken.
The glass was broken out of street
cars that were passing at the time,
and one of the cars was badly
wrecked, but none of the passengers
was seriously hurt. 'Ali the horses in
the immediate neighborhood broke
from their fastenings and ran away,
and there was not only intense eX-
citement, but the greatest confusion.
Six bodies were recovered up to
$50 D. IN, and it is known that there
are many more.
The family OF Adolph Drachs sur
fered most severely. Drachs and his
wife are numbered among the dead,
his 5-year-old daughter is dead and
his 3-year-old boy is believed to be
dying. holland Davit, travelling
man for the Columbia Carriage COM
pany, of Hamilton, Ohio, and two
others, unidentified, complete the list
of those known to be dead.
A most touching scene occurred
when Fireman John Mccarthy found
his brother pinioned under heavy
beam and begging the men above to
kill him. Mccarthy said there were
three other men near him and they
were alive. The most heroic efforts
to liberate these sufferers were con-
tinued up to midnight.
Jack Mccarthy, Peter Burns and
Charles Tilley were taken out of the
ruins about midnight, but 1t is feared
that none of them will live.
Workmen report at 12:45 that one OF
Mrs. Drachs' children was certainly
still alive, as they could plainly hear
it calling mamma"
