WORCESTER, Mass, June 23.
An explosion of nitro-glycerine took place
in this city at twenty minutes past ten to-day,
killing one man, Timothy Cronan, an Irish
man rs years of age, and injuring 80 others,
none of them dangerously. Twelve houses
were demolished and many others badly shat
tered. All over the city bells were rung and
crockery and furniture broken at distance
of nearly half mile. The cause of the mis-
chief was nitro-g lycerinc that had been snug
gled into the car as other merchandise. 1t
was directed to North Adams on its way to
the Hoosac Tunnel. The wounded were
cared for by the physicians of this city, and
the place OF TIE explosion has been visited by
over fifty thousand people. The most aston
ishing thing of the affair is that only one
man was killed and so few badly injured. The
man killed was not on the train but was walk
ing on the track.
The nitro-glycerine was in the last car of
freight train. which with two others we're de-
molished. The railroad officers here and in
Boston and Springfield have visited the scene
and are anxious that everything possible shall
be done for the sufferers.
Heavy bars of iron were thrown distance
of nearly quarter of a mile, and the shock
was distinctly felt at points twenty miles
away. A correct estimate cannot be put on
the damage done, but probably $3.50, 900 will
cover it,

Our old citizens doubtless remember Gen.
White, who was one of the paishioDers of the
late Rev. Sylvester Judd, pastor Of the Unita-
rian church in this city, and who contributed
quite literally towards the support of preach
ing. In those days many persons in trade were
in the habit of selling liquor, and Gen. White
was one of the number. Mr. Judd was
strong temperance man and his pulpit dis
courses frequently witnessed to his opposition
to the traffic in intoxicating liquors. One day
a person in conversation with Mr.. Judd, asked
him if he thought it just right to receive money
which Gen. White had made from the sale of
liquor. "Oh! my dear SIR" promptly re-
piled Mr.. Judd, ''the proportion of my salary
borne by Gen. White comes from the money
which he gets honestly, and not from the sale
of liuuOr"
