followed Speaker Miller. Reeve and
his assistants locked the doors of the
clerk's ofllce and denied admittance
to everybody.
During the recess five representa

The fire in New Brunswick yester
day, which destroyed the State experi
ment building situated on the Rutgers
coll. campus, burned ninny valuable
r^cor.is and specimen* belonging to
th# commonwealth bnt? Professor
Smith's collection of mosquitoes were
*?v. l. t'hii ia what the New Bruns
wick Home News says:
Th? Are at the Experiment .Station
yaaterdav threatened for a time to
wi|* oat the great collection of mos
qaitoes made taat rear by Professor of
Katomology, John B. Smith, who was
made State Entomologist by the re
coat legislators. The mosquitoes
cam* from all over trie State, the Pro
faasor having aecured a bottle full
from each coanty. After hard work
th? students and firemen got the mos
qaitoeo safely out. Thev were afraid
if they left them there the bottles
would break and the mosqnitoes would
?aoape.
Other nreaturea were saved, too
great big black beetles with horus,
seventeen rear locusts, house flies,
gnats and cockroaches arid many other
Insects from an orthoptera to a gryllas
hem ml era or more plainly speaking,
from a katydid to a cricket.
When the collection made its appear
ance on the outer lawn it soared the
people more than'the students bayote s
did. When the creatures were carried
across the lawns it was hard work
keeping the horses from running
awav.
The Hoist collection of moths and
butterflies was waved under the per
sonal supervision of President Austin
Soott and F. H. Dodge. Mr. Dodge
was torn between his desire to take
pictures of the scene arid a desire to
save property. The latt?r instinct
triumphed and the moths were saved,
although there is a difference of opin
ion as to whether Mr Dodge or Presi
dent Scott deserves the chief credit.
Auyhow Prof. Smith's collections
were saved and although the moths
and mosquitoes may have gotten a
little mixed up bat he will be able to
go ahead with his work of ridding
the State of its pests.

OIL TANK EXPLOSION.
Rraalted In tlrnth of Ten Persona
Ht Minneapolis.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 24.-It baa
been ascertained that ten persona,
eight men and two women, were killed
by the explosion at the plant of the
Northwestern Star Oil company at the
foot of Sixth avenue yesterday.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning, and a second after the
concussion the walls had been thrown
down, and the entire structure was a
mass of flames. Not a person in the
office escaped alive.
Although the cause of the explosion
has not been determined, it is said
that some of the employees of the com
pany were emptying some oil tank cars
into the tanks iu the basement of the
building, and it is possible that sparks
from a switch engine iguited the ln
fhtmmable fluids.
Several explosions followed in quick
succession and made the work of the
iiremen difficult and dangerous. The
men could not approach the ruins, and
ibe water thrown on the flames was
without effect. The department could
do nothing but allow the flaineB to
burn themselves out.
