ABLAZE NEAR THE CREAMERY.
THE FUIE DEPARTMENT FAILED TO DO AN IT GOOD.
Last Saturday night about midnight a house which Philander Boyd had recently bought from Benjamin Cox was burned. When the alarm was given and C. E. Kinder reached the fire, the hose was found to be too short. After a second r'" tn *bp of.Hpr nftcr
ho?r,
the fire
had cons-limed the building before the vvttU-r could be bruugiu i.o bear ou it. It is said much of the hose was stowed away behind a number of vehicles. That will never- do in case of tire. Let tbe ft apartment be organized and drilled at once. There was no insurance on the house. It is thought by some parties to have been accidently set on fire by some parties who were in the house playing cards. F. G. Banker had turned the gas off, but before the fire it had been turned on by some one.
A Boom On Business Principles.
Let the Greenfield Board of Trade get together and devise some plan whereby we can build up more largely the business interests of our city. We should locate a few factories during 1895. Other cities are securing them and why shall not Greenfield reach out after thein. The first thing that we want to do is to locate a big canning factory. That will help Greenfield and also all the surrounding country.

COHGRESS FORECAST
What Is Likely to Be Done the Present Session.
THE PROGRAM OP THE WEEK
It
Seems Probable That Little in the Way of Legislation Will Be Accomplished—A Number of Subjects lteady for Consideration, Chief of Which Is the Finances of the Country. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—The second
session of the Fifty-third congress begins at noon today. Beyond the passage of the regular appropriation bills, it seems probable that little in the way of legislation will be accomplished at the short session, although several important propositions will doubtless be pressed to the front.
Among the members of the dominant party in the house, over half of whom wero defeated for rc-electiuu. tiitra .o a great deal of bitter feeling against the administration for real or fancied grievances. It will be the purpose of the Democratic leaders to curb as far as possible the display of resentment.
In the course of the session, it is understood, the Nicaragua canal project will be brought prominently forward. At the opening of the congress, however, routine matters will be kept to the fore to stave off as far as possible unpleasant references to the election, which would prove distasteful to the majority, but this policy can be only partially successful, as the latitude allowed in debate on appropriation bills will throw the doors open to remarks on any subject.
Before the adjournment for the holidays it will be necessary to pass an appropriation to carry out the tariff bill provision levying a tax on incomes, the collection of which begins Jan. 1, and, while it will no doubt meet with much opposition and lead to a general review of the arguments against such a tax, the general impression is that it will pass by a large majority.
The impeachment of Judge Ricks of the northern district of Ohio will also furnish a diversion before the holidays if the judiciary committee which investigated the charges should present a resolution of impeachment and it should carry. The trial would occur in the senate, the chief justice presiding. Impeachment proceedings are rare and novel and this one, th8 first since the trial of President Johnson, would attract national attention.
Nothing will be done today probably beyond the reading of the president's message. No definite program has beeu arranged for the remainder of the week. The committee on appropriations, however, has two bills almost prepared, the pensions and fortifications bills, and they will be reported on Tuesday, so that work upon them can be entered upon Wednesday.
The senate will begin with a full calendar, the result of committee action during the long session, and it contains at least 200 items, covering a wide range of matters. Nothing has transpired to indicate which of these 200 questions will receive first attention, whether they will be fa.
thsir
order, or whether the calendar will be followed at all. Much interest is felt among senators of all political beliefs in the president's message and in the recommendations which the secretary of the treasury will make on financial questions. These will have much to do in directing the course of tho senate. In these are recommendations for radical departures in financial methods they aro sure to lead to much speechmakiug early in the session, and later to form the basis of committee actions.
Significance is also attached to Senator Voorhees' declaration that he will, ask the finance committee to sit on Tuesday. Tuesday is tho day for the regular weekly meeting of this committee, but it does not ordinarily meet so promptly after the assembling of the. senate. Chairman Voorhees declines to state the object of the meetiug further'*1 than to say that it is to be held for the purpose of permitting an exchange of views among members. It is possible that his purpose may be to arrange a policy upon the supplemental tariii bills. These bills have all been reported by the committee, but it may be considered necessary to discuss them further before deciding upon a plan of action.
The Democratic majority of the finance comirittee is on record in favor of the passage of the bills, and it is not improbable that the early action of the committee is sought to frustrate any attempt to prevent consideration. This is not altogether surmise, for it is known that some of the so-called conservative BP*)-»t-ors h'V'e f^visii that a ,-cneivJ party conference be held soon after the senate convenes for the consideration of this question. The experience of last session showed that whenever caucuses were held the conservatives carried their points. Hence there is reason for the prompt action of the friends of the supplementary bills.
There appears to be nothing outside of financial or tariff questions likely to excite a ripple during the week, and it is not certain, that whatever may happen later in the session, there will be much in these lines to disturb the general serenity of the senate during the next few days. In any event the daily sessions of the week will be short, with the probabilitios strongly in favor of an adjournment from Thursday until Monday of the wreek following.
CARGO ON FIRE.
It lias Been Hunting Since Friday, but Will Soon lie Put Out. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. 3.—The Brit
ish steamer Starlight, with a cargo of cotton, 14 days out from Galveston for Liverpool, put in here yesterday owing to an outbreak of fire in her cargo on Friday last.
The unwelcome discovery was made through smoke forcing its way through the deck seams. The captain decided to ruu for tliis port, though the steamer was 000 milws oast of here. Tho compartment in which tho lire was burning was filled with water, the vessel put about and a full head of steam crowded on. The Starlight arrived here safely. She will be unloaded until the tire is reached and extinguished.
Indications.
Fair weather, except local snows on the I&k«s cooler, j.orthwest wiuds, becoming variable.
ELECTRIC SMELTING.
A
System That Can Be Used In Connection With Water Power.
The new Taussig electric smelting prooess, which is now passing through the experimental state in Germany, gives exceptional promise, and should its practical test prove satisfactory it will modify recent electro-metal!'"'^™! devoloTitnonts, progressive t.a tl:c^ i„, markable extent. The process cou&isu» of first reducing tnd aijd then in casting tLe metal. Both pivcesses are carried on in a vacv.: tion of tho air has the effect of removing all bubbles of gas or air, and the casting is thoroughly homogeneous. The apparatus consists essentially u± .. longr.irtight smelting chamber, in which the hearth inclines toward a central opening, through which the metal passes into tho nfjld. The chamber is packed with ore and flux, or metal, as the cane may be, and the furnace is lined with glazed fire bricks, which 60 thoroughly insulate it that there is no escape of current. Within 15 minutes of tho turning on of the current the heat developed will nv It pig iron, ami it takes but little longer to melt Siemens-Martin bivt'l. A.i in» :'i.vu '.a presv-' t, the fused metals are almost pure. Oxidation, or I blistering, and tho deleterious effect of gases evolved aro prevented by the rarefied atmosphere, which at the same time in- I creases the fiti:it.y of tne metal, and tho castings X'ioduceu ai-j uense and liomoge* neous.
Tho most obvious advantage claimed for this process, in the smelting of raw ores, is that it can be worked wholly by water power. This ability to dispense with fuel is a matter of great moment in mountainous and remote ore producing districts, which have abundant water, but no coal. In the fusing ol' iron it is claimed that tho operation is rapid and amenable to continuous working that it improves tho quality of the castings, and that, even where steam power is used to generate the current, it gives a saving of o0 to 50 er cent in fuel. The practical limit of tho process as at present organized would appear to be the handling of about )A tons of metal in ono charge, which would require a furnace or fusion channel of from 36 to 40 feot in length.
By applying to such a furnacoa current of 30,000 amperes and 50 volts, or, say, about 2,000 horsepower, the entire charge of 3,000 pounds can be fused and run into castiiJgs in a quarter of an hour. In the making of steel and iron castings by smelting in a Siemens-Martin regenerative furnaco 1,000 to 1,400 pounds of coal aro burned to smelt 2,000 pounds of iron. In the Taussig process, even assuming that water power is not available, and that the dynamo and air pumps must be worked by steam, it is claimed that the smelting of 2,000 pounds of iron and steol can be effected by tho consumption from 720 to 800 pounds of steam coal, en economy of nearly 50 per cent in :ei. Where the steel is treated in crucinl.-s nieoeujioiny is still greater, especially if the coal used be of an inferior quality.
By means of this process, it is stated, pig iron containing under per cent total carbon has been produced, and it is believed that, where desirable, tho carbon limit can bo brought down to that of steel. It is estimated that a plant equipped with 500 or 600 horsepower, using a good quality 48 per cent ore, can produce pig iron for $8 to $9.50 per tun, allowing |2.40 for the cost of ore. Certain plants in tho south already turn out iron at a lower cost than this, but the li urecan be greatly reduced where a water power i»available for tho generation of electric current. If this system can bo put on a commercial basis, it will be most valuable for the treatment of ores in the neighborhood of water power, or even where water power exists near enough to permit of the cheap transmission of current, fuel being presumably high priced. For instance, an r! vf,i 'c generating plant might be erected near tho coal mines, and power could bo generated by using slack coal in producers, the gas thus obtained heating the boilers. From here the current could bo transmitted to the ore mines wh:.iro the smelting furnaces were erected. The working of the plants now being put up in Franco and Sweden will be watched with interest by the iron smelters of tho south, which, with its numerous waterways, would be a most favorable field for tho utilization of any such successful system.—Boston Transcript..
Fioral Peacemakers.
Tlierb is a young married man living in the vicinity Second and Third avenues who is quick tempered and who resembles a won.'an in he f-.-}
T'
at h* h"ve the
last word. His wife is amiable and tries to meet his wishes, but is often in tears when he leaves her in the morning over somo unkind or thoughtless word hastily expressed. But Mr. Jones is quick to repent of his misdeeds and tomako amends, ono of his methods being to send some time during the day a box or basket of flowers as his effort toward reconciliation. It took the neighbors some time to see through this scheme. They thought Mr. Jones was very devoted for a man who had been married several years and decided in their own minds that ho was fond of his wife to the verge ot extravagruieo. xhe.n they had never heard of any quarrels and could not understand the necessity of any floral peacemakers.
But let neighbors alono for finding out any specks on tho domestic horizon. Somehow the truth, like murder, will out, and this outing was romantic enough to bo interesting. A spokeswoman for tho neighborhood followed a gorgoous pot of chrysanthemums into Mrs. J.'s house and said slyly: "I wish my husband would send mo flowers as yours does, but he never seems to think of it." "Perhaps," answered Mrs. Jones, "you never quarrel?" "No," was the quick responso. "Wo never make up."—Detroit Free Press.
Insect Secretions.
The strongly vesicating power of certain parts of the apparatus of tho blister beetle of course suggested that tho function of cantharidin in the economy of the insect might bo connected in some way with the reproductive process, but that such is not necessarily tho case evidently follows from tho fact that the insect possesses the property to a greater or less degree in all its stages, including those In which it is sexmilly immature. Even the eggs are possessed of tho blistering power, though thi» perhaps is no more than might be expected, since tho ovaries are strangly'impregnated wMh cantharidin.
In lutiiJ Beauregard took a portion of a freshly laid batch of eggs, and working them up into a paste with a little water applied the little plaster so formed to Ais arm. After four hours tho smarting produced was suiiieiently intense to lead him to stop the experiment. Ho therefore removed the plaster, and a few minutes after an enormous blister appeared ou the spot, attesting tho strongly vesicating property oi the Iroshly laid eggs.—Knowledge.
