Terrible ExplOsi0n.-.A Young Lad In.
stantly Killed.
From the St. Paul Pioneer, 14th.l

FROM the ~. khul t1oneer, l4tn.
Yesterday, about two o'clock, terrible
explosion occurred in the pop factory of
Messrs. Austin & Kenkel, under Dayton's
Bluff, near Carvers Cave. The workmen
in the factory were engaged bottling pop
when theaccident occurred. The mode in
which this is done is by forcing it in from
the generator, and when the bottle is full
forcing In more gas and then corking it
tightly. The generators are calculated to
Withstand pressure of $50 pounds, but
from the testimony of an eyewitness there
must have been at least o pressure of
300 pounds on at the time. The probable
cause of the accident is that from the in
tense pressure piece Of marble, one of the
ingredients used in the manufacture of
soda, was driven into the safety pipe, the
result being to cause the generator to burst.
The consequence was disastrous, the gen
orator divided in hall, blew out the front
and rear of the building. One of the
pieces weighing some fifteen or twenty
pounds struck lad named James Regan,
about fifteen years old, on the head, nash
ing it badly, and knocking him senseless.
Mr.. VIM. Rockwell who was present and
was thrown some ten or twelve feet by the
force of the explosion, at once picked the
poor fellow up, his clothes and person
where burning from the vitriof fall
ing on him from the generator
and put him under o spout, when the water
quickly extinguished the fire. The sufferer
seemed to be conscious, but suffering in
tense agony. Drs. Murphy and Wharton
were at once sent for, but before they ar
rived he was released from his agony. Dan
iel Terwilligor, another employee Of the es-
tablishment, had his arm and leg badly
bruised and his clothes torn of. Mr.. Rock
well had his coat considerably burned from
the vitriol falling on it. To show the force
Of the explosion it is only necessary to state
that piece of the generator, weighing over
one hundred pounds, was propelled dis
tance of one Hundred and twenty-four feet.

General Thorn has recently received from
Prof Peirce, Superintendent U. S. Coast Sur
yev. a new and valuable chart of this harbor;
its title being photography of Portland
Harbor Ne, executed under the special direc-
ton of Bvt. Brig. General George Thorn, U.
S. Engineers, by Acting NJ lster Robert Platt U
S. N, Asst. Coast Survey, in October and
November 1867" and at oue request, has fur
nishel a statement showing the present con-
diton Of the harbor, as compared with that
shown in former years by G. S. Chart of
1862, and by Col Anderson's chart of
1888, and by De Barle's and Moody's chart of
1926, thus extending these comparisons back
through a period of forty-three years.
These comparisons are of the highest inter
est and Importance, at the present time, in
developing facts which conclasive'y disprove
the assertions, which frequently have been
made of late, that our harbor is deteriorating
in excellence. Among them are the following
viz:
L. The "middle ground" so far from hav-
ing an increased area, measures 100 yards less
in its longitudinal direction, than is shown by
the c. S. chart of 1888 g. 1t contains an
area within the u feet soundings, at mean
low water, of about q acres, being seven acres
less than is shown by Col Anderson's chart OF
1888.
The new chart shows a depth of feet of wa
ter on the shoalest place of the "lniddle,
ground;" the chart of 1850 shows feet
that OF 1888, 9 feet; and that of 1926 but feet.
g The bar between the middle ground"
and the breakwater has now, at mean low wa
ter, depth OF IL feet passing close along the
southern side of the middle ground, and
dep'h OF 16 feet passing directly up into the
inner harbor after rounding the buoy off the
breal water. These depths arc the same as
shown by the C. S. chart of 1858 81; whilst
the chart of 1888 also shows 16 feet, and that
of 1926 but 10 feet on the bar. This bar is now
but 800 yards wide, between the three fathom
curves, at mean low water, whilst the G. S.
chart of 1853-62 shows 700 yards, and Ander-
sons map of 1888, 760 yards between those
lines. a gradual but constant wearing away
of this bar is therefore apparent.
8. A new channel passing between the
Great Eastern wharves and the middle ground
which was partially dredged out in 1858, has
since then been opened, and has now depth
all the way Of not less than IS 2 feet, al
mean low water, instead OF 10 feet as shown
by the G. S. chart of 1858.
4. The soundings all the way up the inner
harbor, above the middle ground" show a
general Improvement in its condition, also, as
compared with the Coast Survey chart Of
1882, and Col. Anderson's chart of 1883
as exhibited in the following table, viz: ),

The MUTUAL BENEFIT. 1t is ALWAYS to us a
real pleasure to call the attention of our read
ers to that old, reliable and successful insttu-
ton the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Com
pany. Twenty-three years ago, this Company
first introduced the blessings and advantages
of life insurance to the people of this State,
and most honoraby and faithfully has it full
filled to the present time all its obligations.
No intelligent and candid man will DENY. that
in every element of safety, security and econ
omy OF management it has no superior.
We heartily endorse the following from one
of the leading Life Insurance Magazines of
the United States:
It's sound as an oak in every branch and
fibre, and for steady progression. and infexi-
BILE adherence to the high purposes of its or
ganzltion, 1t is second to noae in the world.
Or company so ste9dflst aud upex. zen iona
BILE as the Mutual Benefit Life, it is a pleasure
to speak in terms OF uusinted annroyal and
we cordially recommend it to general notron
age, anu wish it a continuation of its present
complete success.
The record of life insurance in America
bears no more honorable name than that of
the Mutual Benefit Life of New JERSEY.
Read carefully the advertisements of Mr.
Sparrow, State Agent OF this Company. in TO-
days paper, and let nothing binder YOU from
giving him call before you insure-you will
n 3ver regret it.

The Conviction of the Pr+sideut uuder
the AEleYemIla Alticle lmeyi ahI. -

the Eleventh Article inevitable.
MR.. EDIToR,-l imagine that there has not
been the slightest reason to doubt the convrc.
ton of the President by the vote of a least
every Senator who has supported the recon.
struction measures of Congress- since the in.
PRODUCTION before the Senate of the te,egrams
which passed between the President and Gov
Parsons. had no doubt before what the
judgment of the Senate would be or what il
ought to be, but since this evidence has been
viction of the President under the eleventh
article would seem to be absolutely necessary
l. The Senate has said by vote of two
thirds that the duty and power of reconstruc.
ton were with Congress, and it has, by the
same vote, passed the proper laws in that re-
gard-wise, nece ssary, constitutional laws
laws in its judgment the best that could be.
2. 1t was the duty of the President to en-
force these laws-to support and stand by them
in good faith, and not to attempt to defeat
them. To impede, obstruct or thwart the
laws of Congress on any subject is, in Pres.
ident of the United States, a crime; but to dc
this in regard to laws of such vital import
ance as those in relation to the reconstruction
OF the States, and the restoration of peace
WIS crime similar in its nature to that which
| eSsayed the destruction of the government by
force.
3. Congress believed it to be the purpose Of
the President TO eefeat, if possible, its recon.
struction measures and policy by preventing
a proper execution of the laws it haG made
and so it passed several acts to cripple his
| nnwer in THE regard. The evidence on this
point, it seems to me, was conclusive; but
since the Parsons correspondence there IS nc
SHADOW OF doubt on the subject. The evidence
comes under the Presidents own hand-and
the Senate k1aoos the fact.
Senators have too much respect for them
selves, for the position they are called to occu
by, and for the States which they represent
to be delivering their opinions in the streets
of Washington, or committing them to the
custody of newspaper correspondents and I
submit that the people should have sufficient
respect for, and confidence in, their Senators,
to restrain them from circulating reports, or
even harboring suspicious, that imply that
they are going to recant all the opinions they
have hei etoiore held on the subject of recon-
Struction, denounce their own votes, contra j..
dict their own speeches, and generally aturn
their backs upon themselves" LEX.

THE SOUTHERN ELEcTIoNs.-The elections
in the Southern States so far seem to staiiu
about as follows: Arkansas and South Oaroil-
ma have certainly adopted their new cohs'ilu-
tions and elected Republican STATE oIncers
and members of Congress. Louisiana has rat
fled the constitution beyond much doubS, but
has elected one Democratic Congressman
The Republicans of Louisiana have done bet
ter than could be expected under the circum
stances. They We're divided among them
selves, and had the Copperhead officials APP
pointed by General Hancock to work against
them. Georgia is Doubtful, with the pro5a'
blItles IN favor OF the adoption of the constr
tuition, while North Carolina is stu more
doubtful, with the probabilities the other way
The States that are to hold their elections
hereafter are Virginia, Florida, Mississippi
and Texas. If the Alabama election had beer
held under the new law, requiring only ma
jo"ity of the votes actually cast to ratify
constitution, her Representatives ard Sena-
tors would before this time have been admitted
to Congress AS it is her reconstruction seems
to be Indemnity postponed.
