the Court House, on b street, IN our city.
At the time of the burst there was some
sort Of a meeting being held in the Court
room on the lower floor. At this time
Is p. ny the cause OF the explosion has
not, been fully described to me, but OF the
result I can tell you this much: The
entire lower floor Of the Court House was
Quilted. Julius Cesar, Crassus and Pom
pew. who were in the room at the time,
were blown bodily clear over n block
and into a lager beer saloon. and into seats
around a ca,d table, at which there were
four chars, one Of which happened to be
occupied at the time by Benham. They
all commenced playing pitch seven-up,
and called for a gallon Of beer. A man
by the name Of Geo. +. Scrippy was
blown to pieces; his head was found in
the back Office of \. h. Grim's bank; ne
leg was found in Williams s BiSler's law
office his right hand was found grasping
the knob Of his safe door, and the other
was discovered on the piazza Of the Coun-
" Hospital. His abdomen was found in
the editorial room Of the Enterprise. The
other persons-shere were about twenty
five in all-in the Court room were a good
deal scattered and demoralized in their
ideas: but no bones were broken, no Sc
rious bodily injuries inflicted. They all
brought up standing in less than ten min.
utes from the time of the explosion in

and Union streets. NITRO.
