Second Fire in orphanaae.

The Thornwell OrphanaGe Seminary
building at Clinton has again suffered
from fire. The flames caught in the
roof from a defective fue ani was
burned to the ground.
Worllmen had just finished testing
new furnace and the building had
been closed for the day. The fire was
discovered early, but as the town has
not yet put in its waterworks, the ef-
forts to put out the flames were of no
avail. The fire soon reached an
e!ghtyfive foot tower and became a
huge pillar Of flames
Efforts were then diverted to the
protection Of the Mccormick home, a
dormitory building on the orphanage
campus, and the recitation hall of the
Presbyterian college, both OF which
were threatened. Both buildings were
adequately protected.
The Thornwell seminary for or
phans which was the name of the
burned building, was dedicated in 1888
By Governor Hugh S. Thompson
whose death in New York few days
ago the people are now lamenting
The building was in process Of con-
struction for eighteen months during
which period the labor and other bills
were promptly met at the end of each
week, though at no time were the
funds in hand sufficient to pay them
a week In advance.
This was the main educational struc-
ture OF the large institution ana con-
tanned in addition to large chapel
some six class rooms. The loss is
eight thousand dollars, with only one
thousand dollars OF insurance.
1t falls, therefore as a heavy blow
upon an institution which only a few
days ago had similar loss In the
burning OF memorial hall the dining
hall OF the orphanage. Help is need
ed as never lefore.

The Capo TO Cairo Railroad.

The Cape to Cairo railroad, the IN
ception of the late Cecil Rhodes, has
reached the southern bank of the Zam-
best River at the Victoria Falls. The
first section Of the project is now
realized, over 1000 miles Of track hay-
Ing been laid down, stretching from
Cape Town to this point. The con-
struction OF the singlc-span bridge,
which is to carry the track across the
Zambesi gorge at height of 420
feet is now being proceeded with, and
the second section of the railroad will
then be commenced. This section will
run from the north bank Of the Broken
HILL in the direction of Lake Tan
ganyika, q distance Of 800 miles. Be
yOnd that point no definite course has
been decided, though there are several
projected routes under cOnSidcra ton.
According to Cecil Rhodes, this trans
continental railroad was to be 800
miles in length. While the track has
been steadily constructed northward
from Cape Town the Egyptian end
has been simultaneously proceeded
with, and it is now 400 miles south
of <hartoum. About another 1000
miles of track has therefore yet to be
laid before through railroad commune
cation is established between Cape
Town and Cairo.

ISrnpp Ismbossing Presa

The great German firm of Krupp re-
fused to make any complete exhibit at
the ST. Louis Fair, because their cxhib-
its at former American cXpostions
failed to secure them any orders. They
have at st. Louis one remarkable ma
chine in the form of hydraulic press
for stamping ana cmbossing silver
ware. The silver molds are enclosed in
4 mold and placed in a tight tank of
water.
The altogether unprecedented pres
sure OF $1,000 pounds to the square
inch is then applied, and this pressure,
acting through the water, forces the
silver into the finucst hair lines Of the
mold. a close imitation Of handwork
is thus made in the space of n few sec.
Onds The pressure used is several
times as great rs that in cannon
when the charge is fired.

Then he kicked some of the hard earth

a light wind stirred the wheat, but
there was no other sound; nor did he

he find any cattle in the field. He ex-
amined the fence, but could find no
place where an animal could have

The more he thought about it the

that the bcll-ringing would be repeated.

up their windows and listened when
they saw the lantern in the field. and
