Explosion.


Yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, party
of boys were amusing themselves with fire
crackers in the store of Mr.. Kemmerer, on the
National road East Of Fifth street, when. acct
dentally one of the lighted missiles fell into Q
keg of powder, which instantly exploded, and
the building came tumbling about the ears Of
the asonished occupants, burying them be-
meath its ruins Five persons we're in the store
at the time, and seven were in the back part OF
the building occupied by the family of Mr.
Kemmerer, and strange to say none Of them
were very seriously injured. Three were ex
tracted from the mass of fallen timbers, slightly
scratched.
Mrs. Kemmerer, who was lying sick in bed
at the time, was thrown out upon the floor, and
her nervous system was violently shocked BY
the fright. The front of the building was
thrown outward upon the pavement, and many
of the articles in the store we're thrown dis
lance upward of one hundred feet. The loss il
estimated at about $4,000, the whole of which
will fall upon the unfortunate proprietor Ohio

failure to organize. The sergeant-at-arms Mr..

Thousand dollars for the pay Of members; but,
according 10 what was said in the House on
Thursday, some OF the latter have not yet drawn
the " first red cent" Besides, there are trades
linen and mechanics who are waiting for funds to
meet their obligations. Thus there is check to
business transactions; and an anxiety the part
|of almost every body for the passage of bill TO
supply deficiencies in the appropriations as here
|tofore. And no money can be drawn from the
Treasury for the payment of the various persons
in the House.
