Terrible Gas EXploSi0n-FOur Persons Sc
riouSly Injured.

One Of the most dreadful accidents took place
in our city yesterday which II has ever been
our duty TO record. As Mr. James Daniel OF
the firm Of Headman s, Co., gas filters, was en-
gag-d in stopping leakage in the grocery store
of Mr.. John V. Barbee, corner OF Jones and
Abercorn streets, the gas exploded with terrible
effect, destroying every thing therein, and dread
fully mangIlng not only Mr. Daniel. but the
vile, mother and child of MIR. Bar5ee, who
Glanced TO be in the room.
The building was wooden one, and oCcu-
pied for the double purpose OF a store and resi-
dence. The former had bat recently been
opened, and contained a stock valued al S 500
TO $4,000. 1t appears that gas was introduced
into the building for the FIRST time on Tuesday.
Since that time the odor has been very offensive,
and it was believed there was an important
leakage. Yesterday afternoon, as, engaged in
the same search, he was moving a hight along
the crack in tie floor, just above the pipe, the
gas took fire and exploded, as stated above,
with terrible effect The tables, counters, gro
pletely destroyed. The floor was blown up.
and that above broken in many pieces Fur
nliure in the second story was badly injured,
and windows in the third broken out The
report OF the explosion was like that OF eau
non, and was heard in distant parts Of the city.
From careful examination, we are satisfied
there was no leakage in the pipes. They re-
main unipjured. 1t is more probable that gas
accumulated beneath the floor, since Tuesday,
was the Cause OF the terrible accident.
The first that Mr. Daniel remembers be found
himself lying in the street. He must have
been blown directly through the window. His
right leg was badly broken just below the knee,
otherwise he miTaculously escaped Injury. He
was taken TO thr house OF Mr.. Headman, where
he was attended by Dr. Fish. AT latest ac-
counts he was doing we'll. We have our state
mrnt in regard 10 the explosion directly from
him.
Mrs. Sarah Barbte, the wife, had her left
ankle badly broken and Der foot horriaIv bruised
Dr.. Bullock thought amputation was necessary.
Mrs. b. was otherwise badly injured Her
suff-rlngs We're very severe. She vas taken
to her own room in the story above the store
Mrs. Mary Barbee, the mother, who was in
the store at the time, escaped without serious
injury. She was taken to the house of Mrs
Reyes, her daughter, where she was doing

RZWe issue the Gazette this week under most
embarrassing circumstances. The editor Gen.
BowMAN. since our last issue, has been SO eS-
ceedingly low that his Physician deems II eX-
pedient to exclude all persons from holding any
intercourse with him whatever. When, or,
whether he shall ever again be able to resume
his duties as editor, we are unable TO say, as he
is still in rather critical condition. This Is truly
TO be regreted-it is unfortunate that ne IS pros
trated with disease at this particular time when
his services are so much needed-whrn II is so
essential that the claims of the different Demo-
cratic candidates should be properly placed be-
fore the voters of the county. II is not lndis-
pensabl4, however, that this should be done
now. We believe the candidates are men well
known TO the people throughout the county, and
that they shall receive, as they are justly entI-
tied, majority of the votes polledo the second
Tuesday of October, 1855. Their claim to the
sufirages of the people was strongy y urged IN the
Gazette Of last week-they were sepken of as
men in every way qualified TO discharge th-
duties Of the Offices for which they were nomt
mated. and all who know them know this to be
true hence we can see no reason why they
should not receive the united support of th'
Democratic Party, as well as that ofthose homes

Sudden Disappearance and Death.

an aged man driving one OF them. When they
had reached the city, SAMUEL BoLlNeER, the
father, aud the young man put up at different
houses, and in the morning, SAMUEL, who at
times is wrong in his mind, left town on foot,
and without his wagon, alleging to some per-
son that his son had gone off without him. He
was seen at the Seven Presidents tavern, then
on the track of the North Pennsylvania Rail

The Result in Maine!

The Maine election has resulted in com
plete victory of the friends Of civil and religious
liberty and the constitution OF our common
country. The INSCRIPTIONS combination OF
aboli,ionism, know-Nothingism and ianaticism,
has been routed, horse, foot, and Dragons
The triumph seems TO lack no element OF com
pleteness. All honor to the sterling Maine
Democracy and the patriotic men who have vo-
ted with them against heresy, bgotry and
wrong. The tdngs of their victory, flying
now on the lightning wires, will give JOY TO ev-
ery true patriot in the Union. AS the Boston
Post we'll observes, this result Is no ordinary
| one and one destined TO have no common ei-
| feet 1t is victory of the right sort, and at the
right time, and in the right place. Fit is it that
the people of Maine, who have SO much cause
10 love the Union, should repudIate the politl,
clans who, with alien hearts, tell them there j!
no Union. Fit is it, too, that it should be th'
first New England State that should make

/ that the State in which Neal Dowism arose
should be the first to cast it down. Maine ha
