frightful, up.heaving OF the river, OF

near Alton and Wolf Creek. The
river, which is very deep at that point,
was in great commotion just about the
middle OF the stream, and dense mas:

coal boats up.ended in the river, and
then sunk down again. In the mean.
time, the boat was approaching near.

officers of the boat. As soon as il
subsidized, the river was covered with
great patches OF black looking slime
and filth, which spread widely over the

"The news from Salt Lake is Of We

Terrible Explosion Of N Powder
Mill
WILMIgoros, Del, Aug. 8

Oei mug
The drying house OF Mr., Gereschei's
powder works, in Eden Park, in This
vicinity. was blown up this morning,
shortly before s o'clock. 1t contained
about one aud a half tons Of powder.
The explosion was tremendous, and
broke a large quantity OF glass in dwell
lings in the lower part of the city. 1t
had been in operation for 40 years
withou; accident, and was considered
the safest house embraced in the works.
All the workmen connected with It's
opperation were killed at once.
They were blown TO atoms, and frag-
ments Of their remains were found at
various distences OF from so to 200 yes.
There were three Frenchman in the dry.
ing house, named Eugene Perers, Joseph
Dupeane, and Francis Fisher, and boy
named John Pugh. The house was lit
erally blown away, not a vestige re-
naming
The explosion OF the drying house
caused mill to explode. 1t contained
about i,4O0 pounds Of powder, which is
a less amount than is usually on hand.
The engineer says there were three sep
arate explosions at the mill. To those
alta distance it seemed like a single pro-
longed explosion. The trees around
the drying house were blown up Dy the
roots, and the fields were literally GOV.
cred with fragments Of wood. cinders,
and the remains Of the victims. One
or two horses were killed.
Another man is said to have been
killed, but this seems doubtful. Mr..
Geresche says the explosion must have
been caused by one of the Frenchmeu
who worked in the packing room. teing
addicted 10 smoking a pipe. Mr.. G.
had cautioned him two weeks previous,
and told him to quit The premi Ses or
give up his pipe, and supposed he had
abandoned the practice.
The steamboat Mantonomi was run
into, last night, below the navy yard,
by ;he tow boat Sky, when returning
from excursion, with l5O pasSengers.-
She was run ashore, and, the passengers
saved. The boat has since been taken
on the sectional dock for repairs.

sidering that for two weeks previous,

your comrades have died with arms in

IranChisement.--The issue pre-
sented.
The Fusion Convention Of this year
in Lorain county. passed the following
resolution
"ResOlpsd, That it is the sense oil
this Convention that the colered people
are entitled 20 have the elective fran.
chise,"
This comes from an answering and
original Chase County. 1t is the resi-
dence Of DR.. Norton Townshend. Mr..
C's political Pythias. The resolution
embraces the proposition which Or. T.,
as member Of the late Constitutional
Convention in Ohio, endea vored to car,
~ as a provision of our new organic
law. There is no doubt in the world
that Mr.. Chase is in favor Of negro suf.
lrage, and it is sheer justice that both
his friends and enemies should fully un-
derstand shat fact. The Fusionists oil
Lorain county expect, should he be cleo
led Governor, that all his power and in.
Aue nee will be exerted TO confer upon
the negroes ot Ohio, full political equal
ity with the whites.
But. then, while tina! portion of the
Fusion party, Of whom the LOrain Abb
olitionists are specimen, deserve this,
there are others whose support Mr..
Chase soliciIs and expects, who oppose
the naturalization of white men born
abroad, and who would entirely strip al
professors Of the Catholic Religion oil
the right OF suffrage and of election to
Office, for their whole lives.
This then is the position of the Flu.
sion Party; Elevate the negro, and de.
press the German, and the lsishman,
the Englishman, the Welchman, the
Scotchman and the Frenchman!
This then is the issue rendered us; up
with the black.man, down with the
white. And yet certain supporters oil
the Fusion ticket confidently boast tha
they shall get a large majority Of the
naturalized vote of Ohio, next October
We shall see !-Statssman.
