jexpeusesi-twenty young ladies of

the neighborhood on the first Nia

gara Falls excursions Mrs. Browning left with her party Tuesday on the excursion, with twenty as handsome yonug ladies as ever left that village.

Iu the last issue the Teucfhoxe neglected to refer to the anmvsra;y display made by Adams, Hall Jc, Co., on the night of the 1st. At 7 o'clock the Mechanics' band began playing and the doors of the store were thrown open. The room had been handsomely decorated, and from the opening until after 10 o'clock there was a constant crowd of people that had come in to greet the young men and wish the firm another year of prosperity. Friday evening H. T. and Mrs Simmons and Mrc. Brodix tendered Mrs. Carpenter a pleasant reception at the home of Mrs. Brodix, north ColiegeAvenue. It was) in the nature of a musicale, a number of our best musicians betn preseiu, ami much of the evening was passed in listening to many excellent selections. Excellent refreshments were served at the proper time and the occasion was upusuiilly pleasant. Mrs. Carpenter is a New York friend of Mr. and Mrs. Simmons and is spending l!:e summer with them.

Wednesday afternoon about two o'clock the engine running the spoke factory of Carmichael & Co., near Stanford, exploded, killing Henry Fowler and doing other damage. The factorv is located on the Bloomington and Bloomfield road, near the Greene county line, and is owned by J. M. Carmichael, A. K. Dowden and S. Thrasher. It had been running about a year and six men were employed. James Douglass, from near Clear Creek, was the reg

ular engineer, but this week Douglass did not go to work and James Strange took his place. Wednesday the machinery was running as usual, when the explosion occurred without any warning. The report could be heard for miles around and parts of the boiler were thrown in every direction, so that it is a wonder that more were noi, injur eel. At the time Strange was not bv the engine, but Fowler was carrying water, filling the barrel that feeds the boiler. He was struck by a heavy piece of iron and thrown into a pond about fifty feet away. Strange at once went to his rescue, took him out of the water, but before any assistance could be rendered he died. EJoth legs were broken near the thigh and the abdoman was so injured that death soon followed. He was a son of Patrick Fowler and about 10 years old. The shock was so groat that the men were unable to do anything for several ttWUtr. Strangle sa,vs that the boiler had on two gauges of water at the lime and only 110 pounds of steam, and that it h id been burned out before. A. K. Dowden, however, yays the engine had only been run a year, and there was no reason whatever for the explosion. The loss will be several hundred dollars, as the boiler is completely demolished. The funeral of Henry Fowler took place yes terday at 11 o'clock. lie lived with his lather near where tho explosion occurred.

Washington Territory is woefully afflicted by the burning of its most thriving towns. Less than two months ago the entire business portion of Seattle was destroyed; this was followed by a similar loss in Ellensburg, and now Spokane Falls suffers in the same way, and is, perhaps, even in u worse conditiou since the residences seem to have been swept away as well as the business blocks. There is no mystery about the burning of these towns, and no probability that it was the work of incendiaries in any case. The cheapest building material, and the one in almost universal use in that region of the country, is fir and cedar, except in towns where earlier warnings have caused the fixing of a fi:;o limit. These woods are employed in the construction of business-houses. When dry they are as inflammable as tinder, and a fire once started gains rapid headway, and easily gets beyond control. The receipt of numerous letters from township trustees, saying that they would not introduce the new school text-books into the schools under their charge, induced the Superintendent of Public Instruction to call for an exposition of the law from the Attorney General, and a reply was given Monday. In his opinion upon the subject the State's legal adviser says that if a trustee fails to obey any command of the new school book law he will violate the conditions of his bond, and will be liable in damages in action thereon brought by any person for such violation. No books shall be used in the schools of any certain text where these books are contracted for under tlu law, except those provided in such contract, uniformity of books being one of the objects of the law. The punishment in case children are rol pi oviaeu whh these books by their parents or guardians Aall be decided by the seuool authorities. Unexpired contracts with other book companies for books are not binding. County Boards can adopt only such boks as are not contracted for under the ne"r law. Superintendents must order a sufficient number of books to supply the pupils in their respective- school corporations.

i ue successiui introduction ot

coal ga as fuel into the immense Depauw Glass Works of New Albany, goes far toward the solution of the problem of a cheap and perfect fuel for manufacturing purposes, and is of interest to manufacturers everwhere outside the now rapidly failing mtnralgas districts of the country. This gas is manufactured at the works and conveyed to the furances by a system ot pipes of perf ect and regular action, The combustion is not only perfect, but pure and of great power, arid as a reducing agent in the furnaces in 11 respects quite equal to natural gas. What is better in this manufactured gas is it& perfect safety as well as its inexhaustible supply. Glass melted by it comes from the pots abnolutely in as good condition as is possible with any fuel yet known or in use Coal is verv cheap, and the best gas coal always accessible. It may yet ba proved tnat coal gas for manufacturing pui poses is the rival of natural gas in all the elements of a perfect fuel. At the New Albany Forge and Rolling Mill this gas is being used with eminent success both as an economic and satisfactorily acting fuel.
