Extraordinary Effects of the Explosion of
Four Hundred Pounds I'm a Wagon near
Titusville.
From the 1Itussius Herald, May 90
At 1.21 O'Clock yesterday afternoon 400 pounds OF
nitro-glycerine in cans, loaded ON wagon bound
from Titusville to Tideout, exploded about three
quarters of mile this side OF Enterprise, on the
public highway leading from Ttusvlle. The driver,
4 CO.'S most careful agents, was blown to
atoms, as also were theshorse and wagon. A large
circular excavation about four or five feet deep and
twelve feet in diameter, was made in the middle OF
the road; the fences and trees for considerable
distance on either side were shattered into frag
ments barn, the property OF Mr. Confer, about
forty rods Enterprise, was blown to pieces,
and the whole neighborhood convered into COM
plete wreck. The butt-end OF the drivers whip was
driven distance OF nearly quarter OF mile passed
through window In Mr.. Arnamines house, and
mote distance from the scene OF disaster were so
stunned by the shock that they are confined In bed.
The houses all along the road leading into Enter
prise were more or less injured, being twisted out
OF shape in such manner as TO prevent the OPEN
ing or shutting OF windows or doors. Ine @ snock
ana being felt throughout the surrounding country
and distinctly heard in this city. Several houses
aeTs ons were shSnsa cRarch Run The Tepot
sounded like a boiler explosion, and in this

out, and the other WAS was open, glaring and trans;

widely and torn into such fragments that it
was dnloult to tell which belonged to tn the man and
once the horse and wagon beggars all description.
The fore quarter of the animal was lying in the
entrails and hinder parts scattered, while broken
shaft and small pieces OF steel and iron were all that

MAKING RESTITUTION.


A Man Receives Twenty-Three Hundred
Dollars, but Can't Explain the Transac-
ton.
One day last week Mr.. Benjamin Rothormel,
of German township, Fayette county, received q
letter, stating that package containing some
money had been sent to him from Pittsburg by
Adams Express. Mr.. Rothormel has no idea
who wrote the letter or sent the money, which
he received at the express office in Oniontown.
This is the letter as Mr.. Rothormel received it,
PITTSBURGH, April 20, 1s71.-Benjamin Rother-
mold, Dear Sr-You Will find In the Adams Express
office, at Unontown in package directed to you,
two thousand three hundred and ten dollars t2310)
which found In my possession, which by rite be-
longs to you have returned 1t to you with the in
teTest did not come by it by dishonest means and
waited for an opportunity to return 1t to you, but for
varis reasons could not until the present time could
have had an opportunity to return 1t Immediately
alter discovered the mistake would have done so
publicly, but alter holding it so long thought best
to adopt this plan and with hold my name. Yours
truly j. B. @.
N. B.-There will be many conectures labout this
transaction, and likely all be wrong.
The express package contained the following
address, the name of the sender John B. Cobb,
of course being fictitious signature =
Adams Express Company s231O.
BENJAMIN RoTHoRasLD.
Uniontown, Fayette county, Pa.
From John B. Cobb,
Pittsburgh, May 2, 1871.
AS Mr.. Rothormel is not aware of any transac-
ton by which he could have been wronged out
of so large sum of money, he is oil in the dark
as to the party sending it. How it could ever
have 'belonged by right" to Rothormel, and
have come into another mans possession ''by
mistake" is mystery.

Battle with Apache Indians-I2O Killed
and a Large Number Wounded.
Correspondence Sc. Louis Republican.
LA MEsnLA, New Mexico, May 7.-Our
hearts are to-day made glad by the welcome
news of signal victory over the ruthless and
Government stuffed Apaches. They have been
smitten hip and thigh by citizens and Papago
Indians, who tracked them, with their booty, to
that robbers roost Observatory near Camp
Grant. One hundred and twenty dead Indians
were counted on the field, and, as matter of
course, scores we're wounded. The victors found
Government guns, pistols, and prepared ammu-
milton scattered everywhere. Over one hundred
pounds of centre-primed cartridges were picked
up. Much of the stolen stock was recovered.
1t Is in proof and published to the world by
authority of the Arizona Legislature that, at
Camp Thomas, guns aud ammunition were
issued to the Apaches. Colonel Green commands
at that post. These are the same Indians who
so long have been up to their elbows in blood,
tomahawking and scalping the whites.
By the same mail we learn that two davs
before the killing at ''the robbers roost" two
hundred and fifty "bucks" left the camp and
went on the war path. The gallant Captain
Frank Stanwood, United States army, followed
them with thirty men, and on the Both ult. an
express arrived at Tucson from the San Pedro
notifying the citizens that he had been attacked
by three hundred Indians, and had given them
a Rowland for their Oliver and that he was
there in good position and would endeavor to
hold it until reinfOrcements could reach him
My word for il, If the Indians press the fight
they'll smell birthstone. The captains on the
fight and cool as cucumber.

with, and about $50 of the students assembled in
a business meeting, VIM. e. Llttleton, Esq,
