one Of the sentenced conyicts who escaped from the

perilous escape -" Van Order, whose arrest on

and they we've shut up in the saloon. They managed TO
get window open, and Van Order worked his way
out, hanging BY his arms until the other man rot
out also. The cars were going at full speed, aud
we believe ii was at night. When the second man
got out partially they both dropped down the banks
through board fence, iniuring them some but they

TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION AND MARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATB.-Last evening, about 8 O'Clock, the
large fly wheel at the rolling mill, on First street,
City Point, South Boston, burst with terrific
noise. The wheel weighed some sixteen tons, and
was revolving ut very rapid rate, when the ccntri
fugal force caused II to break into hundred rag
ments. One piece, weighing three or four tons, was
carried through the roof Of the building across the
yard, and down through the roof Of tho main build
ing. The remainder Of the wheel broke Into smaller
pieces, which scattered in every direction, doing
great damage TO the buildings. Heavy timbers were
cut of rs neatly as with saw while the machinery
was seriously broken. Strange az il may seem, al
though there were one hundred and ffty men at
work in the establishment, no one was In tho least
injured. although some met with mcst narrow cs-
capes from instant death. The noise Of the explo.
sion was heard some distance Off and as soon as its
cause was known the families Of those working At
the mills came rushing TO the scene in great NAM
bers, snppoeipg that some must be killed. Work at
the mills Will probably have to be suspended for Q
fortnight or more, IN consequence OF the accident.
Tho total damage We hear estimated ut several
thousand dolals,--BostoH 7rareiier, august 4.

Thursday evening the 10th inst, during an awful
thunder storm, tho house Of Mr.. Ralph Anderson,
who settled the prairies elk miles southeast from
Freeport, last spring. was struck by lightning, and
all the persons in the house, eleven in number, ex
cept one little boy, were struck down and injured
more or less, and the Oldest daughter, Augusta, q
lovely girl in her seventeenth year, was instantly
killed. The fluid struck her head, burnt her hair
melted her hair pins, and went round and round
her down 10 hes feet. Several Of the children and
Mrs. Anderson are burnt and blistercd on various
parts and one little girl named Louisa, about eleven
years old, is 80 badly burned as to render her re-
covery doubtful. Owing to tie presence Of mind Of
Mr.. Cook, WHO is building for Mr.. Anderson, they
all carried out into the rain, aad atcr poured
ON them, which finally restored the suspended ami
nation of all but poor Augusta. l. was truly af
1icting and appalling to sec whole family struck

THE TURNPIKE.

The Turnpike, as it is called, between this
and Curwensville, is in most wretched con-
dtion, and the board Of managers, whoever
they are, ought 70 be most heartily ashamed OF,
it. If some poor fellow don't get his neck
broke, this winter, on the hill this side of the
New Bridge. or among the logs sticking inthe
NarrOws, it will be because he is better taken
care of by Providence. than the Turnpike, is
by its officers. We cannot understand why
this road, over which there is more travel than
any other in the county, should not be repaired.
The Managers had better attend to it, before
somebody gets killed, or they have TO pay
damages for the destruction CT property.
