The latest nnd perhaps the most vanishing scandal happening In this vicinity , Is the Oakland explosion. The details of this choice bit of gossip , have boon fully portrayed trayed , with the us JM amount of roportorlal mddlng , but stripped of nil the gilding , It Is decidedly racy. "Miss OeorRono Trnvor , " inys ono of the Frisco papers , "Is a very ituulsomo young woman , with plenty of spirit and dash , an Inexhaustible supply of cash , nnd moro intelligence tlmn womorf nro isually thought to possess.

Somehow not vary many people scolc nvitntions to thcso receptions nnd dinners , nnd In consequence only half a dozen covers or so are laid whenever the Muses nro to bo once moro invoked. The surroundings at the mansion nroolcgnut.tho menu is stiid to bo cholco and the company which congregates : here Is pleasant , ngrccnbloundcutnrtntulng , but nevertheless Oakland people look at it askance. Whorl asked why , they say it is the Sutherland mansion. To bo accurate , it is not , since the placebo- longs to Chariot Webb Howard , but it is rented from him for n good round sum by Colonel Sutherland , who Is a mining operator well known ninonp mining men. Sutherland und Miss Travor have been in tending to get married for the past ten yc.irs , lint as the Kay Colonel has n wife and child In Now Yotk and as she , being a Catholic , lias no wish to obtain n divorce , ho and Gcorgcno have concluded to bo inseparable companions anyhow. Sutherland is nt pres ent in England , engaged lu some mining en- teruri.so tUore , mil lie is expected homo soon on account of the dilllculties into which Miss Gcorgono is getting with her mother , nnd when ho returns ho will roslclo .is usual at , 1200 Alice street. The couple , ten years ago , assumed the relationship about which Oak land gossipers have long been wagging their tongues , and since then they have done much traveling together , poinij to Canada and to various places In Europe different times. About four years ago when Lord and Lady Lansdowne were in CauadaMissTraverwho was then in Montrcalcontracted to supply society cioty letters to a Now York napor , and since then has been a wielder of the pen for sev eral journals , ono of those for which she has lately been acting as correspondent being the Philadelphia P6st. She docs not need to occupy herself in this way , but Hues literary work and it affords her recreation. Mrs. Traver , the mother of Miss Gcorgeno , lias been living nt the lattcr's residence for the past two years. She was treated very kindly Micro and had a maid to wait upon licr.COn Otobor 20 , 1837 , however , the'Jold ladv was sent to the insane nss'lum at Napa. Last Fubiuary she was given a leave 01 absence - sonco to visit her daughter. On Wednesday Miss Georgeno made prcpar.Ulons to have licr mother returned to Nupa , but the latter , with the assistance of her other daughter , Mrs. Klttlo Coflln , managed to circumvent her , ' nnd , going to Judge Hamilton'B- couit room , got nu nv-lrv for uer releuse f m Uib asylum on the giound that she was sane. Miss Gcorgeno , who had not been apprised of the proceedings , burst into tlO ) couit room in a ingo after the Judga had passed his opinion on The caso.nnil a stormy convcrsition occurred. MlbsOoorgeno accused her sister of havini ; acted in u high-liandcdnnd cowardly manner , nnd insisted that her mother was out of her mind. It is hinted that the cause of Mrs. Travcr's incarceration has been that horconstant dec larations about having been wrongfully de prived of her property Imvo made her a troublesome inmate of the Sutherland house hold. She has been twice placed in private institutions for the insane. The poor old lady , who , it Is alleged , had her mind somewhat unstrung by lior hus band's death has been cogiijtin ? on Suther land's rlso to wealth , and remembered that before ho took charge of the Travor mining properties ho did not have a dollar to spare. Soon after nnd since then ho has been spend ing at the rate of $2,000 a month or moro. Ono of his traits when riches began collect ing under bis palln was thiowing tips of &iO pieces to waiters and Pullman car porters In a very lordly manner. Miss Gcorgeno has had spats occasionally with Sutherland , thougli the two nro devoted to cncn other , and once when her temper was aroused .sho Informed him In the presence of others that she know enough about him to send him to the penitentiary. Just how thov case will end it is hard to conclude , but Oak land gossippers are enjoying it hugely. The retirement of lood , Mackav and Fair from the Nevada bank of this city , causes considerable comment. In business circles it Is generally thought that the disastrous effects of last summnr's wheat deal , in which the Nevada bank was n heavy loser , combined with the strained relations that are known to have existed at times between the triumvirate of million aires , and Flood's ' subsequent ill health , have combined to biing about the reorganization of the institution. During an interview James G. Fair stated that ho would retain his interests in the Ne vada bank under the nowicgimo. Ho added that he did not care to longer remain presi dent , as the responsibilities were gi cater than , with his other interests , ho cared to assume. When nsltcd who. 1m thought would bo the next president of the bank Mr. Fair expressed his opinion that J. F. Houghton would bo se lected for that position. Tlio main idea of the reorganization is to allow tlio triumvirate of millionaires needed rellof , and to allow the new stockholders to select their own di rectors nnd ofllccra. The proposed change will glvo interest tea a brief rcsumo of the history of the , bank. It was Incorporated on Mny 2fl , 1875 , with n capital stock of ? 5,000tXX ) , with James C. Flood , J. W. Mockny , J. G. Fair , Willlnm S. O'Hrion nnd Louis McLano as Incorporates. In October following the bank wax opened for business and on opening day its deposits are said to have amounted to & 00,000. In May , IbTti. n branch was established in New York , the capital stock having been doubled In the ivoun time. Later it became public that only $3,000,000 of the amount subsciibod hud been paid in , nnd the capital stock was altered. The millions were then reduced to the slzoof the coin con tributed , and the number of shares decreased to HO,000. MoLuno rallied from the presi dency In 1SSI and Flood was elected to the place. Early In 1SS5 the Nevada bank con voyed to Flood und Markov all tlio real es tate In the city previously held by that instl- tutlou.und the following mouth It was learned that Mackay bad control in tbo bank , both Flood's and Fair's interests having boon transferred to him. Flood afterwards be- cumo identillod with the bank again , by buy- lug In a good poitlon of the stock. Fair re mained out , however , until last full , when bo cauio to the aid of the bank with a 1mlf- uillllon dollars to tlda over the nearly fatal results of the wheat deal. The change will occur within a wcok.

"Look out ! " The Now York Mail and Express re porter dodged back ns if ho had inad- vortetnly touched nn electric coil. "Groat heavens , man ! Dn you want to burn your fingers ? " continued the merchant , excitedly. "What's the matter ? " "Matter enough. Those oyc-glassqs of yours are framed in celluloid , and if you keep twirling them around your lingers too near the gas jot you will have an explosion. " Thn reporter placed the dangerous contrivance astride his nose , and tlio merchant , who is ono of tlio largest dealers in rellulold goods in the city , continued his conversation where tills incident had interrupted it. "Most celluloid is made in Franco. Would you Ilka to know how ? Then listen : A roll of paper is slowly un- woundj and at the i > amo tlmo is satur ated with a mlxturo of five parts of sul- phurio acid and two parts of nitric acid , which falls upon the paper in a line white spray. Tins changes the cellulose - lese of the paper into pyroxylino ( gun cotton ) . The excess of the acid tiaving boon expelled by pressure , the paper is washed with plenty of water until all traces of acid have been removed. It IB then reduced to a pulp , and passes on to the blenching trough. It is this gun cotton which gives it its explosive nature. "Most of the water having been got rid of by moans of a strainer , the pulp is mixed with from 20 to 40 per cent of its weight of camphor , and the mixture thoroughly triturated under millstones. The necessary coloring having boon added in the form of powder , a second mixing und grinding follows. This pulp is spread out in thin slabs , which nro squeezed in a hydraulic press until they are dry as chip1 ? . Then they aro' rolled in heated rollers and como out in clas tic shoots , Tluiy are from that point worked up into every conceiva ble form. You can got cellu loid collars , cuffs , hairpins , shirt fronts , cravats , penholders , brushes and comds , inkstands , knife handles , jew elry and everything also , almost , that you can imagine. I have scon in Paris a room almost completely furnished in celluloid. The curtains , the furniture , the doorknobs , und oven the matting were made of this material. You maybe bo sure no matches were over carried there , Indeed , the room was never used. It was only a curiosity , and the man who owned it owned the factory where it was made. Thcso rooms will never ho popular.

" In a recent looturo before the Society of Art1 ? on "Protection From Light ning , " by Prof. Oliver J. Ledge , the lecturer began by giving a slight his torical sketch of the subject , nnd called attention to the outstanding questions , dlfllcultios , nnd points of controversy in connection with lightning conductors. Ho described the methods usually adopted , nnd showed that the reasons given for failure wore often quito In sufficient to account for it. An inter esting oxpermont showed the effect of n mhmtO quantity of electricity ; nnd qxplaincd the reason of the largo size of the rhin-iroisi } | in thundotf showers. As soon as a stick of sealing-wax rubbed on the coat-sloovo was presented in the neighborhood of the jctofn liny foun tain , the drops previously falling in spray were collected , and foil in an al most continuous stream. In conclusion , the lecturer referred to the futility of ordinary galvanometer testa for light ning rodsnnd argued that the behavior of a fcoblo battorv current afforded no analogy whatever by which to estimate the effect of the explosive and shatter ing lightning discharge. "Klcctrlcnl Tests. " Prof. , A. E. Dolbear writes to the American Engineering Record as fol lows : "I have had made nearly n hun dred tests of the tensile strength of electrically welded bars ot iron , stool and other metals. The results were of bueh a character that I can state posi tively that with Thomson's welding process it is pobsiblo to weld both wrought iron and steel so that the weld is as stronsr as the bamo oross-.soetion in another part of the bar , that the ap pearance of the fracture is fibrous for iron and generally granular for stool , the strength of this granular steel being on s6mb Samples fe high a ยง ' 123,000 pounds per square inch ; that the process is such that the welding is homogenous from necessity. I had a number of bars welded by an export blacksmith , and rt number of similar ones by the elec trical processfor ! comparison , with the result that the electrically welded bars were much stronger than those welded by the ordinary process. The bars were of various sizes , up to nn inch and a half for iroujrnnd three-fourths of an inch octagonsteel. . . " octagon - ( < * - ! _ _ _ _ _ Eloctrio Versus Cabin Roads. A very strong opinion in favor of elec tric ns compared with cable roads has just boon glvoitjy ] Colonel Henry Flad , one of the Towimost civil engineers in Ibis country aiifl at prcsont at the head of the board offpublic Improvements in St. Louis. Colonel Flad recognises the many advantages of the cable system , making it an i > nprovement over animal power , but hoifcoliovos that "iis applica tion will-sboirbo confined to the opera tion of lines on which heavy gradients occur. " Ho speaks of what ho has soon of the cable system in St. Louis and stales that on the largest cable roads there the effective force of tracUon ig only lo to 20 per cent of tha power of the engine , while tab troubles and in terruptions have been numerous and serious. In his opinion it is the storage car that is destined to supply the neces sities of all our large street railroads , except those of very heavy grades , and the chief recommendation in his eyes is the fact that tlio storage car is an in dependent unit. "Tlio importance of this , particularly in largo cities and with long lines , cannot bo overesti mated ; and I would rocommondd the electric motor , with storage batteries , oven if a cable road could bo constructed and operated at less expense. " Electric Meters. There seems at the present tlmo to bo a gonoral'adoption of the idea that ono of the most desirable methods of ob taining the measure of a current pass ing through a circuit , consists in the application of the principle of the heat ing ollect of the current. Not long since wo described Professor Forbes' ingenious motor , in which the heated conductor generates currents of air which sot the vanes in motion , con nected with a registering train. In this issue wo dcscribo the apparatus dosingcd by Professor Thomson , In which the same principle Is applied In adillloront but equally skillful manner , und in which the vaporization of a volatile liquid is employed to effect a reciprocating motion , the rate of which is determined by the strength of the current , antl hence serves as a means of registering the same. Wo are evi dently just upon the beginning of an era of special work in this field , and the result will no doubt bo a largo variety of this class of motors. Train Lighting. Tlio use of electric lighting on trains in Europe has boon uttendon by very encouraging results , as reported by Herr Volgt lately before the Frankfort branch of the Society of Gorman Engi neers. On the Wurtomburg roads , where electric lighting has boon in use some time , the average expense is shown to bo considerably below that of oil gas , and though the cost of the plant is a Httlo h'cayior , the apparatus Itself is lighter , _ o that less weight has to bo pulled by the locomotive. It is also mentionod"thirt an engineering firm at Es.lingen luw already fitted un a num ber of trailis for electric lighting , .of which six nru'running ' on the Novnra- Scregno road'ln ' Italy , and others on the Russian Southwestern lino. Thcso trains , it wtoulu appear , carry their own dynamos , us' 'they ' are occasionally boarded by'tin attendant , who oils the machinery1.wliloh seems otherwise to bo loft pretty Iriuoh to itself.

Within the framework is mounted or applied the olectrio motor , which may bo of any suitable construc tion , and to this motor the olcotromo- tlvo force is imparted through suitable cables from a dynamo machine placed on the surface. A rotary motion is tratifainltted to the shaft carrying thu cutter bar through gearing. The lower part of the framework to which the upper part of the frumowork is attached forms a Circular turntable , und id fitted so as to bo capable of a rotary movement on the bod-plate , Una rotary movement being olfccted by means of u worm , LLENNI ACRES CHOICE In C , 10 , SO , 40 , or SO.ncro Tracts , on I'aymouU ot Only No wan. woman , or chlCl. cnpnhlo of Ravine TWKNT.FIVE [ CUNTS , should full to buy at least nAonrrt * .

Sllvcy Dynamos. The Lima , O. , Gazette says : The Sil- voy Electric company have a thirty-flvo light machine completed for Ada and are waiting for the putting in of their engine - gino to test the machine before sending it out. They are getting out a plant to go to the Cincinnati exposition and are building a 100,000 analo-powor light to go with it. But ono light of this size has over been constructed. That was by the Brush company , for the British navy. Ono light of this si o is equal to fifty lights the slo that are used in lighting the city. GiirrentOosslp. The desirability of having more boiler capacity than la required to moot the immediate needs of the engine is well illustrated by tlio recent mishap at Reading , Pa. Shortly after 7 o'clock ono evening a number of electric lights wont out , and others became dim. This was caused by the giving out of ono of the boilers at the central station. It leaked bo badly that the ilres had to bo drawn , and the two remaining boilers could not generate sulllclcnt steam to run the plant properly. After * a delay of about two hours and a half steam was raised in another boiler , and the lights resumed their usual brilliancy , Tlio extra boiler does not cost much to maintain , when it is not in use , and in this case it saved a great deal of incon- vonlonco to these dopcndont upon it for a light. Dr. Rank , of Munich , has boon exper imenting on the utility of electric light , from a sanitary stendpolnt , in the Na tional theatre of Munich. Ho found that tlio electric light' had hardly any inlluenco on the deterioration of the air , whereas the gas-light raised the temperature of the room , deprived the air of its oxygen , and rendered it in jurious by increasing the carbonic ocid , especially in the higher regions. At a recent meeting of the j.ano Mcdicol college at Sun Francisco , Dr. O. Hirshfoldor delivered a very inter esting lecture on the subjoctof ' 'Elec tricity in Medicine , " in which ho pointed to the use of electricity as ono of the most striking evidences of the great advance made in modern medical science. IIo concluded by saying , "In electricity wo have a remedy whoso variety of operation and whoso olllcacy stand second to none with which science is familiar. * A special dispatch from Detroit saya : While Atneron Knit/ was recently per forming his duties on a high tower as trimmer for the Brush Electric Light company ho received a shock from what ho had boon told was a "dead wire , " which shattered his nervous system BO that hu is unable to work , lie brought suit for $25,000 damages against the cpmpany , which asserted that Kratz was negligent. To substantiate this they in troduced as evidence in court a minia * shirt in every respect. Tills shirt is actually worth $1.75. For Monday THIS DAY ONLY wo will sell them for OOc. No. 2. A hummer of an UNLAUN- DRIED WHITE SHIRT , made ot a good grade of muslin , pure linen bosom , reinforced back and front , patent stay- ings and facings , well made in every particular ; actually worth 75c. Our price to-morrow Monday only 29c. turo electric light tower , v.'ilh which they tried to show that a careful man could not bo injured as Kratz was. The latter assorted that it was not a luir toot of the shock received by him , because electricity loses its severity when re ceived by u person standing on u dry lloor instead of the earth or an iron foot ing. The jury gave Kratz 810,000. Wo would bo pleased to know of a man or woman who lias never had headache or boon subject to constipation. As'those seem to bo universal troubles a little ad vice may scum in order. Why should persons cram their stomachs with nau- beating purgative pills , etc. , which sick en and debilitate when such n pleasant nnd sterling remedy as Prickly Ash Bitters will act mildly and effectively on the liver , kidney- stomach and bow els , and at the same time tone up and strengthen the whole system ; causing headache , constipation and all such dis tressing evils to quickly disappear. A Wonderful Bird. Miss Almonda Taft , of Sadorus , 111. , has a canary bird that snores. About 2 o'clock ono night its snores became so loud as to arou&o the household. A search about the premises failed to reveal - veal the cause of the noise until the sitting room door was opened , nnd it was found to emanate from the bird cngo. The bird being awakened , the noise instantly ceased. The owner of the bird regards it now as n very musical canary , and the neighbors all declare they never heard the like of its snores , which become moro pronounced with ouch succeeding day. * Hon.
