Terrific explosion at the Penitentiary-
Buildings Demolished and Men Bur-
ricd in the Ruins.

A terrific explosion occurred OH the
Penitentiary grounds on Saturday morn.
ing. The bniier in the shop of he Ohio
Brush and Wire Work Manufacturing
Com pany exploded about o'cl,.ck, de-
motished the engine building in part
and damaging others.
The exJensi, shops are In the north
ern part of the prison grounds extend
ing very near the north wall. The en-
gine house or room, is on the west of
he main building. The boiler was
lifted from its place and throw like Il
huge omb shell through the building,
striking eud first, the east wall of Gill g
foundry and crushing in the wall. The
outer surface of the boiler was not bro
Ken, but the hues collapsed or were
crushed inward, and torn loose at the
ends.
The contic 8 employed in the shops
were all at breakfast. except one acting
as engineer, who was in the engine room
at the time, with j. V. Wilson, the fore
man of the shops. Mr.. Wilson was
thrown on to the engine and buried in
mass of falling debris, and the engi
neer shared a like fate. Both We're
rescued, however, and strange as it m ~
appear, came out with bones unbroken
and with no serious bruises.
The explosion demolished entirely the
southern portion of the building in
which the boiler was located, and hurled
parts of it distance of 800 yards. Other
walls were much shattered and the glass
in nil the buildings near was broken.
The explosion occurred at ten minutes
past seven o'clock, while the convicts
were at breakfast. In ten minutes more
many men would have been at work in
the vicinity, and some twelve or fifteen
in the immediate vicinity of the boiler.
Had the explosion occurred ten minutes
later, there would have been great loss
of life.
The company at once commenced the
work of repair. The explosion was the
result, it is thought, of too little water
in the boiler.-l Columbus Journal.

'he road go Vid Of Wheeling Creek, they
viii work for the Northern route. " hee-
ling and Bridgeport men say 1t shant
terminate at Bellaire if they can help
it. MarIinsvllle will work for the
NOrthtrn ioute Uia of H. pc iale. Mt
Pleasant, Smiihfield and De,rvil:e, will
work for this route also. The Eastern
capitalists have notified the committees
of ibis route THAT no unfriendiy iEflu-
ences have been brought to bear on them
and they will stand ready to help us as
soon as the local subscriptions reach the
requisite amount" Now then all We
save to say to Wheeling and Bridge
port men are. be careful how you divide
the interest in this matter. The qnes-
tion ofterminus must be decided bet ween
yourselves. The Wheeling Creek route
terminates at Bridgeport, the Central
Valley route via Ca iz, (old Short Creek

terminates at Portland. The Norther

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.

We presume the most Indifferent look
forward TO the advent of the New Veal
as time for making some Improvement
upon the past. Many men resolve auu
re resolve, and die the same, is exLrava-
CANT. poetry modified intotruthful prose.
And what if they do? Even ii a man
is conscious that the keeping of his reso-
luton is very questionable, let him
make it. Let him stopa a few times i'll
life, take his bearings and make start
correctly again and again, even if he
finds himself wandering from the need
les course at ths end Of every month.
Let the first week of the New Year close
upon firm resolves to correct the hund
red defective points which the bitter
lessons of experience have pointed out
during the past twelve months. To
young men this is of Importance. Many
q habit that now offers velvet hand,
will, a year hence, lead you with an iron
grip. We hardly need refer to the COM
mon mistakes of young men, such as
learning to smoke and chew. Resolve
to quit them. They will pay you in no
possible way. There is nothing genteeI
in the use of tobacco; there Is great deal
of absolute filth in its customary use
The money sou spend for it, would, in
five years, if applied 10 the purchase OF
books, and your idle time devoted to
reading them, make you well informed
man. Would not this be noble re. olu-
tion: 1 will devote the estimated cost
of the tobacco buy, or would buy this
year, to the purchase of good books, and
I will thoroughly read them. This
faithfully carried out would hardly ne
cessitate q second resolution at the be-
ginning of the next year.
Second Resolve; L shall attempt the
fulfilIment ofsome scheme for the better
use of unoccupied hours. Loafing is the
parent of a dozen worse vices. In itself
it may seem harmless, but in nine
places out of ten, where the practice is
common, the boy receives his first les.
sons in the use of impure Ianguage.-
Under the garb of jovial stories the most
uncouth rlbaidry, language that would
shame tile most reckless under other
circumstances, finds all apology. A
'iozen young men meet; each vies with
the other in telling the most laughable
story, and to secure this end the most
daringly filthy, generally succeeds best.
Young men should resolve to never hear
or repeat what they would not be willing
to repeat in presence of ladies.
Third Resolve: snail neither touch,
taste nor handle liquors of any kind, az
a beverage, during the coming year. 1t
may not be wrong TO take one glass to
day, another tomorrow. II may not be
wrong, but the fatal draught may be
taken and the poison may be instilled
into your very soul. 1t may run RIO
in your blood and drive You mad into
the grave. Daily, on the streets, we see
Young men who drank only once, twice
or thrice, and now are cursed by burn
ing annette that can only be satisfied
with liquor. No man should boast of
moral strength to tsnper with liquor,
merely to see how far lie may 90 anu
NOT be drunkard. The way TO build up
character, is to study tie weak points
and mend them by iai.hfnl adherence to
h,nest resolutions. Life has its eras
and often man appoints them..
