The PewderExpios on.

Yesterday We noticed the explosion of a
small powder magazine, on platform car,
caused by the firing of a cannon. We take
the following particulars from the Louisville
Courier:
II appears that the train from Aurora,
when nearing the Seymour depot, was firing
salutes from a cannon, which was attached
to the last platform car on the train. A small
furnace, used for heaiingthe rod with which
the cannon was set of lay close by the breach
OF the gun, and the wind, it is supposed, blew
spark Ut this fire into tie chest where about
q keg or two OF powder had been cmptied.
An instantaneous explosion was the conse-
quence, and five men who were on the car
at the time, were blown into the air and hor-
rible mangled.
The victims Of the unfortunate catastrophe
were literally stripped naked, every particle
Of clothing having been torn from their bod
les by the force of the explosion, their limbs
were fractured, their bodies were mangled
the hair Of their heads was burned cff, and
the groans and cries of sufferers filled the
house where they lay. One man, Mr.. Squibs
had both his legs broken, and the flesh torn
from his hands, arms and body, the soles oil
his boots were blown off and every shred ol
clothing was torn from his person. Dir. s.
was thrown some sixty feet from the train
Mr.. Watkins had his left arm broken in two
places, and was badly burned in various parts
of his person.
John Baily had on. of his legs broken In
two places aud was otherwise seriously in
jured. James l.. Redding was badly burnt
and severely confused on the chest and back
Henry Doolan had one arm and one leg brok
en-, and sustained several severe injuries in
ternal and external.
During the night Of Thursday the three
men most injured died in the utmost agony
