One of the most appalling catastro
phies that has occuTedin this vicininity
for years, and which is only exceeded il
fatality by the terrific explosion at Al
legheny Arsenal some five years since
took place at noon, Friday, at Reese
Graft & Dull's rolling mills, in the
Ninth ward, by which fourteen mer
were hurried into eternity, and large
number of Others severely injured
The particulars of the fatal calamity
are given as follows by one of our city
exchanges Of Saturday: Yesterday
morning about halfpast eleven o'clock
the residents of the Ninth ward, lower
part of Pitt township and Lawrence
vile, were startled by tremendous
report as of an explosion, which shook
the foundations of the houses for hall
a mile around. Crowds of peoplehas-
tened to the place from whence the re-
port proceeded to ascertain the cause.
1t was soon ascertained that an explo-
sion had taken place in the Forge De-
partment of the Fort Pitt Iron Works
owned by Messrs. Rees, Graft & Dali,
and located on the bank of the Allie
gheny river, between Wilson and
Boundary streets, in Pitt township, and
fronting the track of the Allegheny
Valley Railroad. The building had
been blown to atoms, and the report
that quite large number of hands
employed in the building had been
killed and injured spread like Wild
IRE.
To add to the more horrible nature
of the catastrophy, the ruins of the
building had taken fire and were in
flames. Notwithstanding the exertions
fthe fremen, nearly all of the frame
work of the building was destroyed
before the flames could be subdled.
We arrived at the scene ofthe disas-
ter half an hour after the explosion
took place, and found the building to
be mass ofruins. The ruins were in
such confused mass it is almost inn
possible to describe them. The explo-
sion had made such complete wreck
that not one board on the building had
been left standing. A portion of the
structure used inrolling iron, and To-
Gated on theeas side, and abouttwen
ty, feet from the forge department,
was torn n down by the explosion.
Two large smoke, stacks in this, build.
ing were thrown down by the, flying

department, the ruins some places had
massed very high. None of the tim

pally fell in q confused mass together.

LAST Tuesdays ELECTION.

Sufficient returns have been received
to make the following synopsis of the
result of the election held on Tuesday
last. Its as follcws: - ".T
MAssAcHUsETTs,-This State has
given Republican majority of about
20, 600. There have been consider
able Democratic gains all over the
State; The Legislature is largely Rep
ublican, but the members chosen are
generally yopposed to prohibition. The
citizens of the State will therefore be
allowed to drink liquor under certain
restrictions for two years more.
WIscoNsIN.-Although there have
been considerable Democratic gains in
this State, there is no doubt that the
Republican State ticket is elected by
at least five thousand majority.
The Legislature is largely Republic
can, as usual, which secures the election
ola Radical U. S. Senator in place of
j. r. Doolittle, who betrayed his party
and became one of Andy Johnson's
tools.
MINNEsoTA.-This State has given
a areduccd Republican majority, proba-
bly, not over 3, 900, electng the Radi-
cal State ticket.
In the Legislature there will be a
decided Radical majority, which rem
ders certain the election of a staunch
Republican in the place of U. S.
Senator Alex. Ramsey, who hasalso on
several occasions, bctrayedhis disparity and
adhered to Johnson's policy. The
days of these weakened Republicans
are numbered.
KANsAs.-In this State the Radi-
Gals have elected majority of the
Legislature, but the Constitutional
amendmentsSriking the words "white"
and "male%out have been defeated,
the latter ANONYMOUSLY. The Rcpub-
lican majority in the State will be about
1000.
ILLIyoIs.-Theelections in'this,State
for county offices have resulted in the
choice Of Republicans, generally, with
small Democratic gains in some places
on the previous vote.
MIcHIGAN.-The new constitution,
which secures impartial suffrage, is
undoubtedly ratified by a small ma
jority. a..
New YoRK.-Thc unprccented ma
jority Of over 20, 600 in the city of
New York and Kings county has Sc
cured the State to the Democrats by
%, 600 majority.
The Legislature is Republican in
both branches, which renders the cleo
ton ofa Republican Senator in 1869 GER
tain.
New JERsEY.-There have been
large Democratic gains, and the State
has gone against the Republicans by
some 1000 majority. The Senate wll
remain Republican possibly, but the
Assembly will be large'g Democratic.
The members to the Legislature ere
elected annually, and there is no cleo
ion ofa q. s. Senator until next year, |
hence the election of next year will de-
,ide that question. 1, .llas:au

tribes shall induce their brethren, the Go

live with them. If they succeed, the
United States will enlarge their reserva-
