A Nest of Hollers la a Burning Mill Ex
plodes, Blowing the Walls Outward
nud Hurrying Spectators in Its
Kulns,
Milwaukee, August 53.—A special from
Keenan, Wis., received at 11:30 last night,
aaid: The paper mills owned by G. Whiting,
situated on the island between this city and
Mehaskn, was destroyed by fire. While the
burning structure was surrounded by
crowd of spectators, the battery of boilers
exploded. The roof and walls were thrown
out, sending a shower of bricks aud timbers
among the spectators. Eighteen persons
killed, seven fatally injured and a number
seriously hurt, several of whom will die.
The mill was a threo story structure, built
four years ago, and cost $100,000 and was
operated day aud night. When the tiames
broke out, about fifty men were in the
building. The fire alarm brought several
hundred people to the spot, who crowded os
close to the burning buildinguis the intense
heat would permit. About 1:30 o’clock,
while the building was n mass of tiames, the
explosion occurred. Without warning the
root of the building was blown upwards, the
walls of brick crumbled and crashed into
the street and in nn instant, scores of men
were buried by the heavy debris. There was
a moment of silence and then a cry of horror
went up from the multitude.
The first strong impulse to fly from possi-
ble further danger was soon overcome and
hundreds began the work of rescuing the
wounded. Body alter body was found
crushed and mangled by great timbers al
most beyond recognition, and moved to the
city hall. The injured were carried to
neighbors’ residences or their homes us soon
as identity Cjuld be established.
The dead are as follows: John Moore,
Joseph Bridges, Frink Shefier, Gilbert Mer-
icle, Frank Handover, Frank Muniemer,

WATC1I INDIANA.
Democratic Prospects Flattering In the
Haunter State.
From the Sew York Commercial Advertiser.
Washington, August 20.—Representa
tives Hovoy and Matson, the Republican
and Democratic candidates for the Gov
ernorship of Indiana, will probably leave
next week to begin their joint canvass for
the campaign. Representative Matson
said to-day that it had always been cus
tomary for the two candidates to canvass
together, and though the exact time had
not yet been agreed upon, the canvass
would probably begin about the 1st of Sep
tember.
••What i“ the outlook for Democratic
success!” he was asked.
••I haven’t been in the State recently,
but our people there seem very sanguine.
If there is any danger of losing the State,
1 think it is from confidence more than
anvtliing else. The greenback and. labor
elements for the most part are going to
vote with us, aud then we have a decided
advantage on the tariff reform issue. In-
disna is not a protection Stnte.”
“Would the nomination of Porter have
improved the chances of republican sue-
ctnY*
“No, I don’t think so. The guberna
torial election is subordinate to that of the
presidential, and the issue is one of prin
ciple rather than of men.”
“Art not the Republicans making
stronger efforts to carry Indiana this year
than ever before?”
“I do not know about that positively
and haven’t been over tho ground. They
have always done the very best they could,
hawever, and I have no doubt they will do
the same this year. But we are not afraid
of them."

by them, for the spirit of tl
waters could drown those who proved fal
to their word: and the most awful form of
oath is that which the Hindoo still takeswho
swears by a divine river more sacred even
than the Ganges—of which the Ganges is
only an earthly manifestation. The office
of the Hebrew prophets received its name
in the original from a root signifying the
bursting forth and the overflowing of a
copious fountain. As the spring bursts
forth from the heart of the rock in full
flood, so the inspiration of God bursts
forth from the heart of the prophet. This
origin of the name would indicate that
springs and rivers were at first chosen as
the medium of a Divine revelation. There
is no place more appropriate for meditation
and reflection than thesideof a large river.
Its vast wolume, its exhaustless fulloes-
the mighty rush of its current—with tlie
impetus of the hills yet in it- its constant
change and apparent unchangeableness-
producea deep impression upon the mind.
The mystery of its source in the far ofi
lurple mountains, that lie on the horizon
ike the shores of some heavenly country,
and the mystery of its appearance, sweeping
suddenly into view round the bend of a
hill, and disnppering as suddenly round
the bend of another hill closing up the
view beyond, are calculated to excite the
imagination. The varied music of its
waters, as here they babble loudly over the
pebbly shallows. and there subside with a
gentle murmur into deep, dark pool 8 ; or
flow with a strong steady pulsation—
a regular rhythmic gurgle, as though
tho stormy heart of the hills were still
beating under the tide—calms the soul and
enables it to see clearly into its own
I depths. Tlie spirit of the water lays, as it
I were, its ear along the ground, and hears

The Statue to be Erected at lMelimond.
From the St. Lout. OIobe-Democrat.
Richmond, Va., August 20.—Mercier»
model of an equestrian statue of Gen. R.
E. lee was unboxed to-day. There is
nothing stiff or constrained in either the
horse or the rider. The former seems to
have been reined in while in a walk, in
neck curved and head turned slightly to
the left. The rider is sitting erect in the
saddle, bareheaded, with his right shoul
der slightly thrown back, the rigid arm
hanging by hi* aide, grasping the hat and
acknowledging tho salutation of the troops
around him. Gov. Lee, when asked hit
opinion of the model, said itw-svery
satislactory; that he had seen Gen. Lee
in that position and looking in mat way
a great many times; that there were
..1(ihnilL the I'll
ground secret, of nature whispered by
blade, of grass and leaves of tree, and
wandering winds. It gathers up and ex
presses all tlie sounds ol tlie landscape;
the deep of the world snthout, spiraling
to the deep in tlie heart .kre^anu
awakening there those vague Id diygs arid
emotions which link -jartli to heaven, and
create a mood most favorable for Divine
revelations. Beside it tlie home is Guilt,
and it becomes the scene and tlie inspira
tion of tlie social life, and of all the civili
zation and religion of the locality.
When Lawrence tVa. laser;.
From the New YnrIr Telegram.
Away back in the ante-bellum days, when
every city oi any pretension had its own
stock company which supported the few
stars who traveled in those days, J. H.
MoVicker visited Cleveland, Ohio, in or to
fill an engagement for an eminent actor
who was under his management.
With the aid of the local manager lie
cast the piece for the opening night from
tlie regular stock company, but found that
there was one small part for which there
was no actor left.
“Larry can play that part all right,
said the local manager; “I’ll aend over
for him. Here, you Jimt run across the
street and tell I-arry to come over here as
quick as can be.”
“Who’s Larry?” inquired Mr. McVick
sr. ...
“Oh! he’s a young fellow who works in
x printing office here and occasionally
plats small parts for me. He’ll do It all
right." ‘
In a few moments Larry aroved. He
was short of stature and of cadaverous
features. He was in his shirtsleeves and
his hands bore evident traces of the com
posing-room, which he had just left. Small
men are apt to carry themselves very erect
in order to atone, if possible, for their lack
of height, but “Larry” carried himself so
straight that, to use a nautical term, he
“raked aft."
“Do you think yon can get yourself up
in this role by to-morrow night?” inquired
Mr. McVickor, handing him a part of
about two lengths.
“Larry” cart a glance of Ineffable scorn
at the manuscript, threw his head a little
further hack, and exclaimed: “Learn it*
" should hope I could.”
The part was handed to him anil h
made a dignified exit.
••‘What name shall I put down on the
bill?" inquired Mr. McVicker.
“Lawrence Barrett,” said the local man*
ager.

slight modifications about the rider to
which the attention oi the «rt»l
would be called. He thought the feet of
the rider might be closer to the
horse, and perhaps the collar of the c at
might be turned down on the left nCe ol
the neck as well as on the right side.
These questions he said, would be suu-
milted to the sculptor; that the collar had

An Ideal 1‘Iny tor lieruhardt.
A correspondent of tlie London Truth
quotes a talk overheard between a collide
of theatrical agents about the prospects of
opening up a new vein wherein to work
haiah Bcrnardt. They had come to the
conclusion that it- was almllt tin>» fo' ho
le give up love parts of the billing and
cooing sort, in which tho hero U supposed
to be led captive. One of the agents sug
gested an Egyptian drama, with antique
accessions and costumes and Cleopatra for
a heroine. The period to he dealt with
that wherein she lures Antony to destruc
tion and plunges herself after him. When
she made a dimmest of him she was no
longer young, and had tested her power to
solve tlie beautiful-forever problem. Her
feline grace, cruelty aud ferocity would
just SI1.1 Bernhardt. And then, what a
plendid scope fur a death scene might he
given in the suicide ot the Egyptian queen
and her maid* of honor 1 It was thought
best not to follow Shakspeare, except
in that scene and coma of the dialogues be
tween Antony and Cleopatra. The
live gentlemen were heard to regret
that English and American feeling would
be against Sarah making an exhibition of
her gifts aa Mrs. Potiphar. . But in perso
nating the Pbacdre ot Egyptian history sli
certainly would be, in Paris, one of th
greatest succor-es that ever was, liecaui
the role would be in harmony with hi
phsseof life and peculiar talents. It wi
finally pressed to a.k Hnrdotl whether i

“Christ Before Pilate,"
which has just Ix-en sold for oyer on«
hundred thousand dollars, is a fine etched
engraving, measuring 22x28 inches.
in order to bring tlie picture within the
reach of thousands who cannot see or own
the original, we offer it at a nominal price
to our readers. The original picture ns
painted five years years ago by the great
Hungarian Artist, Munkacsy, aa the
supreme effort of his life and art in deal- .
ing in the spirit cf realism with a sacred
subject, anil is one ol the most remarkable
amt greatest pictures ever painted. The
subject is treated with unflinching realism.
The scene is in tlie “Judgment 11 ill,” and
the hour “Early in the Morning.” Pilate
is sitting at the right on his judgment seat,
his head bent in a questioning attitude,
with Christ standing before him. A.
heavenly submission is on his face, while
around the Governor’s exalted seat the
Priesls are gathered and the High Priest
Caiaplias is in tlie act of accusing Christ
and demanding His death “for tnnouncing
himself ns the Sin of God.”
Qm conspicuous figure among the mob
is that ol a Jew shouting with them,
“Crucify Him.” with uplifted arms, in the
dense mob which throngs the palace and
presses upon the Honiap soldiers, one ot
whom is holding the crowd hack with hi.
spear.
Below the place where Pilate sit. .re
tlie accusing Priests and other Judeans,
while the whole picture touches the popu
