FEARTun EXPLOSION or Epz.WoaKs.
AZ an early hour Wednesday evening an
explosion OF truck load OF works
occurred in City Hall Equare, New York,
fatally injuring two pefsons md badly
hurting seven others. The particulara
are thus given by the Journal Of Com
n1erce:
"It appears that an association known
as the Jeremiah Murphy Club, of the
fourth ward, were retufHing from q
chowder party at Bayonne. New Jersey,
and were passing along Park Row, on
their way home, when the explosion oc.
Cured. The members of the club were
in three large stages, followed by the
officers in two carriages, and these in
turn followed by large truck loaded
with rockets, Roman candles and oolored
lights. When opposite Beekman street,
the men on the truck commenced dis
charging fireworks in very reckless
manner, sending off rockets in a nearly
horizontal direction across the Park, and
others against the houses on Park Row.
"The discharges we're maintained
regularly until the truck reached the
front of French's Hotel, when, by some
carelessness, rocket burst among the
fireworks on the truck, and o terrific
explosion followed. Burning rockets
and Roman candles were thrown in all
directions among the crowd in front of
the hotel, through the windows of the
numerous street cars passing ut the time.
and into the park. The horses attached
to the truck became frightened and
dashed along the street toward Tryon
Row, dragging the truck and its blazing
load utter them. The horses attached
to the stages and carriages ran away, and
for few minutes the utmost consternn-
tion prevailed. One man, with his cloth
ing on fire from his waist upward, rushed
into the hotel, shrieking for assistance;
others, dreadfully burned. were rolling
on the ground; whiio many were panic,
stricken and fled from the scene. Pas
sengers leaped from the street cars, as
the blazing missiles tore through the
windows. and the crowd congregnted on
the sidewalk in front of French s rushed
through the halls into the back rooms,
or through the side street.

SAD ACCIDENT IN NEWARK, N. IA
lamentable accident occurred in Newark
on Wednesday evening, by which two
persons, just returned from a pleasure
trip, suddenly lost their lives The
steamer which had borne the excursion
lists to Dudley's Grove returned and
drew up at the city dock to land her load
of living freight. The gang -planks were
thrown down and the passengers crowded
over them in haste to get to their homes.
Mr. james Magee was walking off with
the crowd, when, pressed by those who
followed him, he missed his footing and
fell over the side. AS he went down he
threw out his arms for aid and caught a
lady, Mrs. Morris, and pulled her down
with him. They plunged into the water
and disappeared. A search was imme-
diately made for their bodies, but it had
proved unsuccessful mt late hour
Wednesday night.

We will now give you few of the
Intentionsn Of the Constitution:
They are to erect edifices for the
benefit of the colored people, and to
look after the interests of the mem
bcrs of the Association, and to unite
our thoughts together, so that we may
better appreciate one another, and
elevate our minds so as to be enabled
TO meet the many necessities that are
almost Ga ly presenting clouds of ig-
norance to us, and 10 see that no
member OF the Association does not
need or suffer for anything, and that
she. or they, receive due and prompt
attention. The Board of Managers
are hound TO see to all of these things,
and if they are found to be not dis
charging their duty, they are liable
to any punishment that may be put
uoon them by the President.

R0cI.
Friends and Feliolc- li5zeHS:

Tie inquiry has frequently h""i.
made OF late. why don the Colorru
voters OF Little Rock nominate d tichci
OF their own Tor the next city cleC-
ton, a d appropriate to their own
use some of the good, fat offices that
have heretofore been monop0lized by
a few white leaders? To save our lite
we cannot answer why the DO not.
The colored voters of this city are
largely in the majority, and the, have
heretofore allowed themselves TO be
used only for the purpose OF putting
certain class of white men in office
who have no better}claims to the Off
ces than the coloreh men who do most
all the voting.
Let the colored voters of this city
reflect for a moment how UNFAIRLY
they have been dealt with by lhc party
in the bestowal of office. Although
they constitute NINE-TENTHs or more
of the VOTING population Of the party,
they have not received as muc as
oNE-TENTH of the offices which have
been controlled by the party.
1t has been calculated, by gentle
man who is we'll posted on the sub
ject, that, in this city alone, there are
over TWO HUNDRED officials employed
in the United States, State, County
and City service, with salaries and
perquisites, amounting, in the whole,
to over THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS ! OF this great
number of paying offices, the colored
voters hold less than TEN; some of
whom get no salaries at all, and the
rest but mere pittancies. Besides the
Office of City Collector, held by Mr..
Rector, there is not an office in the
city or county, held by colored man,
that pays more than ordinary day
lobor wages, whilst 200 white men
are filling offices worth nearly $3.50, ;
900 90
Now is this just, and fair, and
right? No! it is not; and every intel
ligent colored man knows very well
it is not right. Well, if is is notright,
why do you submit to it? You have
certainly got the POWER to prevent It,
if you will dare exercise that power;
and if YOU do not prevent it in the
future, it is your own fault. The
eolorcd voters hold the POWER, and
they should exercise it for their own
benefit. They have been pack-horscs
for few greedy white Radical lead
ers long enough. 1t is high time the
colored men were beginning to look
out for their own interests. We have
been helping few white men to make
fortunes, long enough. 1t is high
time that some of us should begin to
live iu fine houses, and drive fast
horses. and fare sumptuously every
day. We have got plenty o. men
among us capable of holding all these
fat offices. We have got men among
us who would look and act as well in
the Mayors chair, as our worthy DR..
Hsrtman. Squire johnson is just as
handsome man as Judge Andrews,
and would make as good, if not bet
ter, Police Judge. The Rev, John
Pevton would make as competent a
Recorder as Mr.. Scharef, and SO OF
all the various offices. We can. put
forward honest, faithful. and capa-
Bile men who would command the
confidence and respect OF the whole
community.
Let the colored voters, then, strike
