while Mr.. Greedy was Frank, easy and

Greedy AnQuired concerning the health Of

was Rome, where the authorities were
under NO little alarm at the prospect of his
turbulent presence. The state OF affairs In
Rome is attracting the attention of foreign
Governments national vessels of France,
England and America being stationed at

greatly alarmed, and were beginning to
move against the Republicans. The move
meut will be' greatly strengthened by the
deplorable financial condition of the Italian
Kingdom now on the verge OF inevitable
bankruptcy, and by the crushing taxation
which, instead of being lightened, is to be
most inopportunely increased by recent
ministerial acts to still heavier burden. II
seems bad time, too, for the Government

EXPLOSION OF NITRo-G LYCERINE. 49, 1t
appears by report published in the Titus
Vile tPa.) Herald, bearing date Of May 20,
that fearful explosion Of nitro-glycerine
had occurred the day before, in that vicini-
ty, with terrific results. We quote as fol-
lows:-
At l.2j o'clock yesterday afternoon 400
pounds of nitro-glycerine in cans, loaded
ON wagon bound from Titusvile to Tdi-
cute, exploded about 3-4ths Of mile this
side of Enterprise, on the public highway
leading from Titusvile. The driver, Mr..
Charles c. CLARK, who is one Of Roberts *
CO.. most careful agents, was blown to at
oms, rs also was the horse and wagon. \
large circular excavation, about or feet
deep and II feet in diameter, was made in
the middle of the road; the fences and trees
for considerable distance ON either side
were shattered into fragments. A barn, the
property of Mr.. Confer about 40 rods near
er Enterprise, was blown to pieces, and the
whole neighborhood converted into COM
plete wreck. The butt-end of the drivers
whip was driven the distance of nearly
quarter of mile, passed through window
in Mr.. Arnamine's house, and knocked his
wife senseless Several persons remote
distance from the scene of disaster were so
stunned by the shock that they are confined
in bed. The houses all along the road lead
ing into Enterprise were more or less in
iured, being twisted out of shape in such a
manner as 10 prevent the opening or shut
ting of windows and DOORS The shock was
like that of an earthquake, extending for
miles, and being felt throughout the sur
rounding country and distinctly heard in
this city. Several houses here were shaken
to their foundations. On Church Run the
report sounded like n boiler explosion, and
in this vicinity like the low rumbling OF an
earthquake. Strange to say, Clark's face
was found almost entire, without the skull.
One eye was blown out, and the other was
open, glaring and transfiXed in death. The
mouth and nose and moustache were per-
fectly natural, and apparently he had not
time even to put on an expression of alarm.
All the remaining portions Of the body
were scattered so widely and torn into such
fragments that it was difficult to tell which
belonged to the man and which to the horse.
The appearance of what was once horse
and wagon beggars all description. The
forequarter of the animal was lying in the
roadway, the shoes of the fore feet gone,
and the entrails and hinder parts scattered,
while broken shaft and small pieces of
steel and iron were all that could be col
locted of the wagon. Tho fragments of
steel were for the most part twisted into
peculiar shapes and broken with ragged
| edges
