LATER-MIDSIGHT
The Jackson Guard, of Berwick, ar
rived here at $50 tonight and are quar-
tered in Hyde Park, where more trouble
is anticipated. This company has been
on duty here for five weeks since the
first disturbance, and are well known
for their loyalty to the cause of justice
and the right. Lieutenant Zelly was in
command of the detachment which ar
rived tonight, and it is known by all
that he will make the company per-
form their whole duties should any
disturbance occur.
STILL LATER.
At this writing, one A. NJ, your in
formant has just returned from visit
over the whole districts supposed to be
in danger from the miners, but the
presence OF the military and police
seems to have restrained the unruly
miners from committing any overt act
thus far tonight. y -.-.- 4

{ The opposition to the treaty made in
the executive session by Senator Sum-
ner, although anticipated by a few
shrewd observers of public affairs, was
really surprise to the administration,
1t was thought by the advocates Of the
treaty that the objection made by Mr..
Sumner TO the Johnson Clarendon treaty
were fully met and overcome and that
he could not place himself in antagon-
ism to its provisions Of compromise
without qualification. 1t is understood
that Sumner charges that the disposi-
ton made of the Alabama claims begs
the question and places the country in
q humiliating position, considering the
matter from the American standpoint.
Senator Cameron, chairman of the COM
mittee on Foreign Affairs, betrays great
anxiety for the prompt ratification OF
the treaty, and President Grant is ex-
tremely solicitous for its success, as he
considers it the crowning act of his ad-
and one which places him
high in the rank OF Craftsmanship. 1t
is considered by the leading politicians
here that if Sumner is given the go-bv
in this matter his deposition from the
Of Foreign Affairs will be
fully acquiesced in by the Republican
party.
No action will be taken on the treaty
until Monday night, and an effort will
be made to remove the customs Of
secrecy and permit the public to hear
the debate. - - -

OF the first issue of fractional cur
rency, known ut the time as "postal
currency" made in 1852, and amour
ting to $4,000, 900, there remains
unredeemed 81, 445, O60. During 1870,
less than 800, 900 were sent IN to the
treasury for redemption, and the rate
at which it is now received decreases
so rapidly that it is probable none
will ever be sent In for redemption
after the present year. There will
be left at least $4,000, 900 which will
never be heard from, being lost or
worn out in circulation. The second
issue, made in 1868, amounted to
about S23, 200, 000 and OF this there
still remains outstanding loss than
S2,50O,001. There leinption during
1870 am ounted to Sl67 ,455. This is

Over One Thousand Barrels
of Oil Exploded.

Advocate, April 30t
About SIX o'clock Tuesday morn
ing thousands Of our citizens were
aroused by one of tho most terrific
explosions that cverashoUk up'thin4s
terrestrial in this locality. II proved
to be the agitating house Of Husey,
Payne 4 Co.'s Dill refinery, situated
on the canal, 8 short distance edtth
of the Atlantic and Great Western
railway It exploded without Q mo.
mont's warning, and without any as
signable cause, as far as known. The
report was tremendous, and the con-
cussion of the Dir was go great as to
shake buildings two miles Distant
Over . thousand barrels Of oil werc
in the agitator, and in q moment an
immense volume Of fame and thick
black smoke told that the fire fiend
was completing the work Of destruc.
tioh.
The immediate effects of the OK
plosion wcre appalling. The build
ing was entirely covered with iron,
intended to be fre-proof. It was
literally blown TO pieces, large frag-
ments of iron rolled up and twisted,
being hurled to Q great distance in
every direction. The building was
made q complete and utter ruin, the
work of desolation being finished by
he flames. Other buildings connec-
ted with tho works wore nearly de-
ttryyed. Brick wxlls were blown
sown and windows everywhere 10
the vicinity were shivered to atoms,
The chemical works of Marsh & Har-
wood, situated q short distance from
tho oil works, were badly damaged,
and look ~ though they had been
through q first-class earthquake. A
fragment fwood WAS blown through
the window ola house fully q humid
dred rods distant, and struck q wo-
man who was making fire, but it's
force being spent it inflicted no seri-
Gus injury.
Within radius Of halls mile
houses were shaken to their very
foundations, and their occupants not
already awake tumbled out in the
widest dismay. Windows were bro.
ken, the entire sash being blown in
in many cases, crockery ratified, shell
ornaments were thrown down pro.
miscuously, and the destruction Of
property was considerable. The jar
was very perceptible as tar distant al

out the entire southeastern portion
of the city.

estimated at $4,000, although it il
quite possible that it will reach q
