Horse Racing ON Congress street.

To the Editor Of the Press: .
The jewellers on Congress Street have lust
cause, as we think, to complain of the CITY au-
thorities that they do not at once STOP the
system of horse racing on that avenue. That
practice is forbidden by the law, for good and
substantial reasons known to every one; and
the authorities, as l think are liable to very
grave rebuke for their plain and culpable ne.
elect in the matter. 1t can be easily and aui-
city stopped in single day, by half a dozen OF
those racers up before Judge Kingsbury who
has always shown himself to be ready and
willing to enforce an observance of the laws by
proper judgments. To-day l was prevented
for considerable time from crossing the street
by groups of these racers, sometimes two, once
three abreast, screaming at their horses at the
tops of their voices-hi! hi! hi!
Not long ago an elderly lady in my neigh
borhood was knocked down by one of these
fellows; he kept on hi! h.! hi! hi! while the
poor lady was carried home greatly injured
and was under the doctors hands l saw q
man man turning corner quietly in sleigh, run
INTO INT, oy one of these racers; he was knocked
ouI s oI ms sleigh-which was badly smashed
an anu when helped up, it was sometime before
nc euu.u stand or speak he was stunned by
the SHOCK. The racer kept on hi! hi! hi and
the city authorities do nothing to enforce the
law, and to protect the lives and limbs of oniet
citizens. T. W ~

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN PAPER MILL
On Monday afternoon, the 9th inst, the rotary
bleacher in the paper mill of j. NJ. Black, at
Marseilles, Ill, exploded with such terrific
force as to raze almost the entire four stories
of the large brick building to the ground, tum-
bling into promiscuous heaps the brick, mortar.
stone, floor and ceiling, roofing, barrels, bales
Of rags, Sc, together with number of the
operatives in the mill. There were about
twenty-three persons, male and female, at
work in the mill, ten or eleven men and twelve
women and girls. For few moments after
the explosion it was supposed that nearly all
were killed outright, but the citizens lost not
moment in relieving the wounded from the
de6ras and ruins, and taking the dead from
where they fell. Two women employed in
the mill were killed outright, and ave women
and four men were severely, and some OF them
fatally wounded. The superintendent and en-
gineer were standing near together when the
explosion took place, and both were blown
down the hatchway into the room or basement
below. The women and girls were mostly in
the picking room, near the top of the building,
part of which room gave way, and the tw O
women who were killed, together with with
Miss Loring and one or two Others were taken
from the ruins at least sixty feet from the room
they occupied, having been precpitated with
the mass OF falling timbers, at an angle of FORTY

which caused the frightful disaster, is Tor was)

five feet in length and is used for bleachi ng
rags preparatory to their being placed in t he

the time of the accident contained about Sc. 900
pounds of rags, and was being used for the first

cotton mill is at least hundred feet from the
original position of the bleacher
