PAINFUL INCIDENTS OF TIE PHILADELPHIA
ExPLosION.-Ihere had, up to Friday night
been seventeen dead bodies removed from the
ruins Of the Philadelphia explosion, and
there are a number of wounded in the hos
pitfalls who will die from their injuries Many
of the scenes which were witnessed on the
evening Of the catastrophe were helrt-rend-
ing IN the extreme. Among others related
are the following
" Gustaye Schweiger 80 years old, who resil-
ell at 1872 Passyunk road, has left a wife and
three children. lie was discovered nsar the
surface Of the ruins. and begged the fremen to
get him out. They did their best 70 accomplish
this purpose, but alas the material was too
heavy to be readily removed. The FIRE was in
ereasing rapidly, and it was evident that the
unfortunate man was doomed to a most horrible
death. Is the flames approached him, as the
heat increased, and the smoke become more
dense and sitting, the poor fellow, in German
accents, begged them to play water upon him.
Powerful streams were played all around him.
and the progress Of the flames was somewhat
stayed. The water becoming scaling hot, his
groans were more agonizing than before. Pres
emily the burning material giving way, the de-

His body was recovered.
AZ ABOUT the same TINE the heroic lremen,
who seemed to know no danger, discovered

legs were thus caught. lie could be easily seen.

men responded: Keep in good heart. wen get
you out oh give me some water shouted
the imperiled man. The fremen obtained
sponges, which, being saturated with water,
were lowered, and he eagerly placed them to his
lips. Whisky was also lowered IN the same
manner, and thus he was kept alive The FIRE,
however increased, and the heat was 30 intense

fortunate victim Eas lett TO his dreadful fate.
Another scene which occurred in the early
part OF the disaster Is worth especial mention. !

The rubbish. With herculesn efforts the fire.
men rescued two Of them after very great diff /
luliy and arduous labor. The third one, how
ever, could not be rescued, although at one time

this seems improbable from the place where
the body was found, from the absence Of any
weapon of death, and from the failure Of
evidence Of such a morbid condition Of mind
as could lead him to commit suicide

tectiye TO watch smugglers, and met his death

to many people far the most probable theory

authorities as a spy on the Fenians, who are

for another raid upon Canada this coming

finally aSsassinated him.-C0r Repository

The WET MAY.-The weather table for
the month of May, in another column,
shows that the complaints Of mnch rain have
not been without foundation. In May there
were twenty-one rainy days, and ~
inches of water fell,-more than in any
month for the past eight years. There fell
in July 1861, 6.7S inches Of water, in Aug
ust 1862, 7.4S inches, In May 1868, G.sS
inches, and in August 1866, 6.47 inches.
No other months come any where near this
last May for wet. Indeed the average fall
of water for the three spring months, during
eight years, is but little more than fell this
year in May alone. The total fall of the
three spring months this year is ll.42
inches, which has been but once exceeded.
