Mrs. John Javins fell out of chair last

It is believed the canal will be in COM

Captain Eustice Gibson, formerly of Bo-

the Fincastle Herald to be a candidate il

ana limD 10 many persons, occurred this af-
ternoon in Beekman street. Tho accident
was due to criminality on the part Of two
men, Klueber and Goldschmidt, who. in
spite Of the ordinance issued by the Fire
Commissioners last winter, against the sale
of what is known as the Union torpedo.
have ever since carried on an extensive traf-
fic in this dangerous firework at 1876 Beck
man street, unhindered by the authorities.
AT l:20 q wagon loaded with boxes of
torpedoes drove up to the store, and Mr..
Goldschmldt and an unknown man, since
dead, began to unload it. Scarcely had
they commenced their work, when one of
them stumbled, and box of torpedoes
fell to the ground and exploded, igniting the
contents of the boxes in the wagon.

and its effects were awful-within radius
OF fifty yards everything was blown to
atoms. 4tafsss
Goldschmidt's store was driven in almost
to the rear. The store of Smith Brothers,
hardware dealers, at l24, was almost de-
molished Barker q De Camp, butter deal
ers, Mt 12S Beelxinan street, had their VIM
dows demolished, while Maxwell Il Payson.
at the corner of Front and Beckman streets,
and Sturkc d Co., lager beer saloon keep
ers at 1913, suffered great loss in broken
windows and awning. The other houses
in the vicinity were similarly damaged.
The wagon was blown to tooth-picks, and
the horses were taken from the harness
with holes in them SO big that you could
put your hand in them. But the most
awful part of the occurrence was the dis
asters to the people who were passing.
Goldschmidt, whom nobody pities, had his
left eye blown out, and sustained COM
pound fracture of the right leg, beside
several severe cuts from splinters.
A little girl, Mary Jane Burr, who re-
sides at No. 81 Beekman street, received
contusions in the back, which may prove
fatal. Henry Berghart, aged 13, of No.
lis Columbia street, had his left leg
broken, his face lacerated beyond recogni-
ton, and his right arm broken. John
Nolan, aged 76, who resides at the corner
of Oak and James streets, had his right leg
horribly fractured /; and Henry Brown, Of
No. Hamilton street, whose father is em-
ployed at Fulton Market, was instantly
killed. The truckman, whose name is un-
known, was so horribly mutilated that he
died at half past two. A number of other
persons were slightly injured, but did not
give their names.

THE COTTON CROP.

Washi,gton, September Is. The official
cotton statement shows that no cotton crop
reports, purporting to have come from the
Department of Agriculture during the past
month, have been genuine. phe items in
circulation often contradictory in tenor, and
assumed to be official, have had no origin in
the statistical date Of that office.
The returns Of August and September
include reports from about four hundred
cotton growing counties, representing avery
large propotion of the cotton area. Those
for August point to an average condition of
the crop, almost identical with that of the
proceeding report the average of Alabama
and Mississippi being the same as those Of
Louisiana and Arkansas; Tennessee being
higher, and those of other cotton States
lower.
The State averages of the September re-
port are somewhat lower than those of Au-
gust, though the principal depreciation oe-
ours in the States which yield proportion
of the crop, while the reduction is slight in
the important district represented by the
States OF Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
and Louisiana.
The per centage Of the full condition in
the first week of September, as averaged
from all attainable data, is thus stated !;
North Carolina, 81 South Carolina, so ;
Georgia, rs; Florida, 70; Alabama, so !,
Mississippi, 80; Louisiana, n Texas, ST.;

Sodom and Egypt, Beersheba and Babylon,
Carmel and Gilboa, Olivet and Emmaus,
Jerusalem and the sea OfGalilee, have each,
by night, been witnesses of the power and
glory Of the OmnipOtenG Jehovah.
The author of "Night Scenes i'm the BIZ
BE" has followed the shadow of night
across the landscape Of divine revelation,
and grouped together ihc sacred scenes
which are made awful or impressive by
the mantle of darkness.
lie has succeeded in bringing to light
"new and beautiful CONS from the mine OF

the country have given 1t their most COR

Just through the pass can be seen the

At the foot of the pass, wholly shaded by

Health, Location, Soil, Etc.

The elevation of this county Git being
situated upon what is termed the table
land OF Cuulbcrland Mountain,) gives it
superior advantages in point of health,
freed, in the main, from those miasmatlc
diseases which are to he encountered in
some other portions of the State. The
larger portion of this county is a level
plain, well Watered, and sufficiently undu-
lating to drainit. The Cumberland Noun
tain, lifting its lofty peaks along the entire
eastern border of our county, is Il scene
both picturesque and grand. The soil is
generally Of that character known as red
land, with a clay foundation, which makes
the exhausted or worn out lands suscept-
ible OF being readily and easily improved.
Corn, cotton, wheat, rye, oats and barley
may be grown pr0fitably here. Clover
does well here, as the many luxuriant fields
which abound will fully attest. A great
variety of vegetables may be grown here
in the greatest abundance, and perhaps is
not surpassed for the growing of fruit by
any other portion Of our State.
