Locomotive Without a Fire Box.

In the city of Nasseilles, France, a
railroad has recently been completed
which possesses the original feature
that its motive power consists of steam
locomotives without firebox. This pc
culiar engine was adopted in order to
effect the passage of a tunnel, half a
mile long, without development of
smoke. Teh locomotive consists of 2
cylindrical boiler, which is filled with
hot water under maximum pressure
of 227.5 pounds per square inch At
the end of the line the pressure decreas-
es to 43 to 10 pounds. The water is
then heated again to 203 degrees, CORE
spending to a pressure of 227.5 pounds
by means of steam produced by the
generators at the central sta ton. The
boiler is 10 feet long. 3.S feet in diam
eter and holds besides $50 gallons of
water and q cubic feet of steam. The
steam from the generators is uniformly
distributed through the water by suit
ably arranged pipes. After having
been used in the cylinders, the steam
is condensed in condenser, consisting
of 1,154 pipes, provided over the boiler.

TAKEN BACK TO CAMP.
Injured Artilleryman Removed From
the Hospital by Order ofan
Officer

A peculiar and questionable move
was made by the captain in charge of
the section of United States artillery
now in camp in this city yesterday aft
ernOon.
After the accident at the fair grounds
in which two artillery men were in1ur-
ed, the man who had sustained the
most serious injuries was removed to
Christ hospital. When the captain
heard of this he at once ordered, no
one seems to know why, that the man
be brought back to camp. In accord
ance with his orders an ambulance was
sent to the hospital for the injured
soldier.
The matron in charge at the hospital
protested against the man being taken
back to camp, stating that his condition
was so serious that such a move would
probably result in his death. Notwith-
standing the protest, however, the man
was taken from his bed in the hospital,
placed in the ambulance and taken
back to camp.

TWO TONS OF GOLD.

ing from the Yukon

1hR tIoH Tie 1ukOHs
John r. Brady, Governor of Alaska,
has sent Secretary Bliss personal letter,
in which he gives some interesting facts
about the rush for the Klondile region.
Gov. Brady has been identified with Alas
kan interests most of his lifetime, and is
known to be very conservative in his opin-
ions. Writing from Juneau, he says:
Steamships are passing daily for Dyea
and Skaguay loaded to the utmost with
passengers and supplies. The news just
out of Klondike by reliable men is calcu-
lated to raise the excitement to higher
pitch. The shipment of dust by the mouth
of the Yukon will be all of two and one
half tons.
''Rich finds have been made well up on
the sides Of the mountains, and the old
saying that gold is where you find it and
silver runs in veins seems to be empha-
sized in that district a conservative es-
innate is that there are 5000 men at
Skaguay and along the trail on the White
Pass.
'But a few only have gone over this
pass with their supplies, and only small
per cent. Of the number can get across.
Some parties are dividing, and will try to
send one over with supplies, while the 9TH
ers go into camp until spring.
'The men who are coming here are fine
fellows, and I greatly admire them as l
see them talk and walk. A country can
well be proud Of such men. They are re-
marhably orderly"

LEAPS TO DEATH.
". Russell Ward Killed En- Route to
Chicago.

w. Russell Ward, the Englishman who
came first into the glare of publicity by
eloping from Los Angeles on the last day
of June with the wife of Millionaire John
Fl. Bradbury, drew attention to himself
Thursday morning for the last time by
casting himself through the window of
Pullman sleeper on the Northwestern
overland flyer. He met instant death. His
suicide was undoubtedly due to insanity.
After locking the stateroom door at 3
o'clock to exclude the watchful porter, to
whom he had betrayed symptoms of men
tai arrangement, Ward pulled himself
through the window of the toilet-room
connecting with his compartment, and iI
his mad desire to escape from the assail.
ants he believed to be bounding him dash
ed to his death. His body, clad only iD
scant night attire, was found at daylight
lying beside the tracks at Wheatlands,
Iowa.
Discharged from Jail on Thursday, Aug.
26, he left San Francisco Monday night
with the avowed intention of going at
once to England to plead forgiveness of
the wife he had wronged and deserted.
The evidences brought out by his actions
during the days Of his trip across the
country are all to the effect that in the
solitude of Imprisonment his mind gave
way under the strain Of mingled passion
and remorse. A telegram he sent during
the last day of his life proves the exist
ence in his demented mind of these two
conflicting sentiments.

NEBRASKA SILVER MEN AGREE.
Democrats, Populists and Republic
una Unite on a Ticket.


ans Unite on a Ticket.
Fusion has been accomplished by the
Nebraska silver men with the Democrats
carrying off the disputed honor of naming
the head Of the ticket. After a session
lasting from Wednesday afternoon to 8
o'clock Thursday morning, the conference
committee, unable to reach an agreement,
reported the following to the three con.
ventions:
1--WE recommend that the three conven-
tions meet separately and ballot for judge.
All nominations shall be presented to the
three conventions, and balloting shall con-
tinue until one man shall receive ma
jority Of two conventions. Each ballot
shall be announced to each of the other
conventions before another ballot is TAX
en-. The regents shall be given to the par
ties which do not secure the judge"
This was agreed to and q recess was
taken until o'clock, when the balloting
commenced. The candidates before the
silver Republicans were Judge @. r.
Scott, O. P. Davis and ]. S. Kirkpatrick.
The Populists were unanimous for Judge
William Neville, while the Democrats
agreed on w. H. Thompson. After fruit
less balloting for nearly three hours the
Democrats switched to Judge j. j. Sulli-
van Of Columbus. He soon obtained a
majority in the silver Republican conven-
ton and after was indorsed by the Popu-
lists. According to the agreement the
Populists then named E. Won Forell OF
Kearncy for regent Of the State Universi-
ty, while the silver Republicans selected
George 4. REMOVER of Wisner. Many
delegates maintain that the fusion was
perfectly harmonious, while there are
others who claim there may yet be dissen-
ton on the silver Republican side. The
State Prohibition Central Committee to-
day made it's second nomination for regent
of the State University by naming u. u.
Whitney of Beatrice. The committee
adopted the white rose for its party en-
blem on the tickets this fall.

The first explosion was in the cellar
Of j. 4. Watts drug store. It wrecked
the building, killed two persons and in
jured three before aid could be extended
to the injured. The l. o. o. T. building,
across the street, occupied by a grocery
store, was wrecked by an explosion in it's
basement. A crowd of men that had just
rushed up to remove the stock 20 save it
from the threatening flames across the
street was moved down and three We're
killed and twenty-three injured.
The town was in Il panic. The business
portion was i'll flames and no one knew
how soon another explosion would take
place in another quarter. The FIRE depart
ment from indianapolis hurried out to
find the terrified people standing Mt a safe
distance and letting the town burn up.
In little while the flames were extin-
guished, but not until after the bodies of
some of the victims had been charred
beyond recognition and much of the town
destroyed. Many of the injured narrowly
escaped death by fire.
The force of the explosion shocked the
country for miles around. No one knows
the cause, but it is supposed that con-
duit had been leaking into the cellars

KANSAS CORN CROP POOR,
Serious damage Results from Ro,
Winds of Past Week.

Serious damage Results from Hot
Winds of Past Week.
An official estimate of the corn crop of
Kansas was issued By the State Board of
Agriculture, in the form of Il compilation
of estimates by farmers throughout the
State.
The average yield is placed ut twenty
bushels per acre and the total crop at
l6o, o,Gtl $50 bushels, as against 221, ,0OO,-
600 bushels last year and POI 100000
in 1879. The dry. hot winds of the past
week have caused serious damage to the
crop, the average condition during the
week falling from 60 per cent. to SO per
cent.
The reports rs whole indicate that the
crop is poor, not only as TO yield. but as to
weight and quality. Though the crop is
disappointing, it is a noteworthy fact that
the State has raised but seven bigger
corn crops. This is accounted for by the
fact that the acreage, which S,2S3 900, is
the greatest in the history of the State.
