Delivered to any part uf thecity. 12 1=2c Per Week MONG the wastes of human endeavor there is perhaps none that is more extravagant of effort and productive of a greater paucity of results than reform movements started without a substantial basis of knowledge. Men with the best intentions and smarting under ,what they conceived to be a great wrong have fallen to work fighting the evil in so unintelligent a way as to make bad matters far worse than they were to begin with. For instance, it was found during the hard times of 1893-7 that the effort-to help the poor by receiving contribu_tions of old clothes, and making themi over So that the children of the poor could wear them was throwing out of employment and onto the organized charities great numbers of seamstresses who had theretofore found employment in making new clothing for this same-market. -Men who have given systematic thought to the drink oe rr arte enn re te rns gene ee oY Lv q ,_ at Nevada City. destroyed the magazine of the to maintain order. «=their lives. City Thrown Into a Panic and Four Companies Caled Out---Many Lives Reported Lost. LOWELL, Mass., July 29.—An explosion this morning United States Cartridge Company, causing death to twenty-five persons and seriously injuring fifty others The explosion set fire to ‘several buildings and caused a general wreek among houses within a radius of half a mile. Windows in houses as far distant as twenty miles were shattered and broken. The city was thrown into a panic. Four companies of the State militia were ordered out} . A report was circulated that a hundred people lost Having Good Time. A letter was received here yesterday by L, A. Garthe from Campbell Hot Springs, Sierra county, in which it was The Joint Pienic. Great preparations are now under way for the big joint Carly Bear-Argonaut‘ picnic to be given on Admission OVER IFT SHOTS FIND, Another Sharp Engagement Between Convicts and Posses Reported — fo Have Taken Place Today. GREENWOOD, July 29.—The posse surrounded the convicts shortly before noon. A sharp engagement followed in which over fifty shots were fired. Particulars concerning the result of the battle have not yet -been received, but it is believed that none of the members of the posse were seriously injured. The militia has been sent for. PLACERVILLE, July 29.—The report current here last night that eight convicts were seen making their.way northward along Greenwood Creek toward the town of Greenwood, is now known to be correct, and the escaped prisoners are now surrounded near that town by big posses of armed citizens, among whom are twelve guards from Folsom, The evil have debated in their minds as to which was doing the temperance cause the greater harm, the open saloons or the unrestrained enthusiasts who, by their efforts to attain the unattainable, were making the drink situation more intolerable than need be. In the field of charity the enthusiasm with which some people have thrown themselves into the work of relieving distress has so pauperized the beneficiaries of their efforts that those who were at first only unfortunate became mendicants, professional in the artifices which they employed to live upon the credulity and generosity of others. And how many reforms have sprung up from time to ‘time to be advocated with a burning zeal only to fall like Spent rockets to the ground. . The reform spirit is commendable, but if it would be effectual for good it must find a sure foundation by the use of the scientific method of examination. First ascertain all the facts that bear upon the subject, analyze them with care, set __contrary propositions over against each other, reject such as are only seeming but not real facts,then construct a working hypothesis whose validity can be demonstrated by tests of experience. This is a prosaic method and one slow to commend itself to the heated temper of the natural reformer, but if it be not followed the most unfortunate, rather than the most fortunate, results are to be anticipated. The old proverb to first be sure that you are right and then to go ahead should commend itself with especial emphasis to those good people who desire from the bottom of their hearts to make things better than they are. @#e#eaeheeetie THE FOLSOM JAIL BREAK. HE. jail break at Folsom shows how easily such a thing can be done. All that was needed was some one to suggest and lead, and a few to follow. The same thing might have happened at anytime. The officers relied on the men, and as should have been foreseen, the men proved unreliable. Now that the horse has been stolen the stable door will be securely locked. The only thing that makes penitentiaries a possibility is the fact that convicts, as a rule, are mentally unbalanced, and are not able to invent and carry out plans of escape. The handful of guards at any of the prisons would be almost powerless if the hundreds of prisoners could be organized and would work together. But the-very men who would join in such a break are the very ones intellectually incapable of planning it. An exhaustive study of crime has been made of late years and has shown that the criminal, in most cases, is an abnormality. «The police knew this fact long before the scientists discovered it, and have always relied on this mental weakness to lead to the discovery of crime, Criminals, no matter how cunning in the commission of crime, can seldom keep up their tactics and sooner or later expose their own guilt. The guards at prisons rely on this mental incapacity, but sometimes their confidence becomes too great and then an incident like that Folsom comes to awaken them. Can’tConvictHim Tomestone, Ariz., July 18.—Burt Alvord, train-robber and bandit, and pal of “Billy” Stiles, was released today on a $10,000 bond, although six indictments for train robbery and obstructing the United Si:ates mails stand against him. Nearly all the cattlemen and cowboys in the southern counties are Alvord’s friends and it 4s impossible to get a jury to convict him, — The California laws forbid the insuring of public buildings, and, according to the opinion of the AttorneyGeneral the policy on the house bought for the Governor in Sacramento has become invalid and useless, Compaoies and firms doing a large business often find it more profitable to carry their own ineurance and secure the profit that would otherwise go toan insurance company, and it is undoubtedly wise for the State to pursue the same course, yet it seems strange that & policy already paid for and presentFatannot be accepted by the State. stated that the party of campers composed of Charles W. Hill, Robert W. McCutcheon were having a splendid time and thoroughly enjoying themselves. They say fishing is good, but that hunting is poor, the game being noticeably short for some reason or other at this time of the year. Another letter received today from R. W. Snell and written on the 27th iost., accounts for the scarcity of game from the fact that the heavy storms of last winter were very severe on game of all kinds, great numbers having perished in the heavy snowdrifts, He slso says that Nevada City is well represented at the Springs. Among them are Louis Aumer and family and William Harry and family, who arrived there last Friday; George Davey and Clinton Beightol, E. J. Morgan and family, who have been rusticating at the Springs, took their departure for Independence Lake yesterday and expect to reach home by Saturday. George Davey, who went to the Springs for the benefit of his health is reported no better and will leave for home Saturday. : Clinton Beightol, who also went to the Spriags for the benefit of his health, is regaining strength rapidly and will soon be his former self again. Mr. Snell and his co-sportemen left Campbell Springs yesterday for Gold Lake, eighteen miles distant, to trow the placid waters of that famous fishing resort for anything that may happen their way in the shape of fins. The camp of itinerants expect to arrive home about Thursday of next week, loaded down with fish, and invite their friends to prepare for a camp stew, mious the game, _— +80 George 1. Beckley arrived here today from Tonopah, Nevada. Atlantic this season left New York yesterday. Unless something unforseen occurs it will reach the end of its long journey in good condition and the people of London and Parie and Berlin will be able to get & taste of what this State can produce, Ir is anticipated that the State Agricultural Society will-receive more than $15,000 this year for the betting privileges at the State Fair. Thus is the public interest in the development of agriculture practically demonstrated. Biliousness ““T have used your valuable OASCAs RETS and find them perfect. Couldn't do Without them.

For the best of every thing in the meat line send your orders to Naffziger S Placerville militia are also hotly closing in on the fugitives and it is believed the men will be either captured or killed, for should it come to a fight between the citizen soldiery and the convicts there will probably be many killed on both sides, as the convicts are a desperate lot of men, while the pursuers are determined to take the convicts dead or alive. It is conjectured that the convicts struck out for the town of Greenwood with the hope of securing a fresh supply of provisions. They were checked in this, however, by a posse of Greenwood citizens who met the desperate fellows and intercepted them just out of town. LATEST.
