GASOLINE MUST GO.

Citizens of Alliance, Ohio, Rolling Barrels of the Fluid Into the Streets. [Dispatch from Alliance, Ohio,] It is impossible to obtain a quart of gasoline in this place. Since the recent terrible explosion a general feeling has arisen against the use of gasoline. Merchants, thoroughly frightened and warned, had rolled their barrels out into the streets and refused to handle the infernal stuff. Gasoline stoves have received very severe condemnation here, and men who visited the scene of the catastrophe have almost unanimously sworn to discontinue the use of them. One man who had been using a vapor stove said that he had ususally kept more gasoline in his house for the past year than had been the cause of this explosion. Said he: “Gasoline must go. I would rather handle nitroglycerine or giant powder. You know where to find these tefr.ble explosives, but gasoline will spread out and find the fire." The Mississippi Legislature refuses to let reporters see any part of the bills or measures before that holy except the title. The State papers denounce it. as a flagrant outrage. A San Antonio man has an old Mexican dollar, triangular in shape, composed of lead and silver, bearing thecate of 1708. It was found near Laredo, four years ago. A Des Moines youth who received the presenter a hand-painted white satin hatcrown from his girl didn't know what it was and had it framed. Canada's Indian imputation is estimated at 131,000.
