were impressed with the belief that the boiler of
the locomotive had blown up. The conclusion

some distance.
The inmates of house nearly opposite
were badly shaken up. The house rocked as
though in the grasp of a fearful hurricane, the
clock was thrown from the stand, the crockery
from the shelves, and the inmates rushed out in
great terror to find the cause Of the unwonted
phenomenon. 1t was distinctly felt at Parkers
Landing, and by a gentleman on horseback at
the Martin Farm, six miles from that point An
Oil City gentleman, who was at the Sands wells
at the time, heard the explosion distinctly. He
states that it was so loud that the workmen
thought boiler had exploded near at hand. A
little boy standing near called out that it was
thunder. This point is full twenty miles from
the scene of disaster, and how terrible the eX-
ploslon was can readily be imagined.
The ground where the magazine had stood
was torn up as by some CONFUSION OF nature.
The trees and bushes around were scattered and
Invested of their limbs, and the tops of large
old trees were twisted off as if they had been

harm.
As soon as the explosion occurred, men from
Scrubgrass and the neighborhood rushed for the
magazine. A terrible scene met their view; but
without waiting TO examine the site they pro-
ceeded to search for the bodies Of Wright and
Noble. They were literally blown to fragments,
and only occasionally could a bit of fest bone
or clothing be found. Up to one o'clock in the
afternoon the only remains found would scarce
" fill a cigar box. Bits Of clothing were found
on trees and bushes surrounding the cave on

A Terrible Nitro-GIyceruc Explosion.

The nitro gycerine magazine of the Roberts
torpedo company, some ten yards from the
track Of the Allegheny valley railroad, about
one-haf mile above SGrubgrass exploded at
hall-past nine o'clock Saturday morning. The
men-Ar. r. A. Wright, famiarly known as
"Doc," Wright, the torpedo company's agent
for the Scrubgrass district, accompanied by Mr.
Harry Noble, the Western Union telegraph ope-
rator at Scrubgrass, left that place carly in the
morning in a sleigh 10 visit the magazine, The
purpose Of their visit was TO procure some of
the nitro-glycerne with which to fill some cases
that MIR. Wright intended exploding in wells
that day.
The facts of the explosion, or by what mis-.
chance il occurred, can never be known till the
great day when all things shall he revealed.
The last seen of the men they were in perfect
health and SPIRITS and entering the sleigh they
drove gaily on their way to meet a sudden and
awful death. As they had taken Ratchet with
them, il may have been possible that the explo.
sion resulted from a careless attempt TO open
one oil the cans.
The magazine, as has hoeD stated above was
situated about one-half mile up tho river from
Serubgrass, and tea yards from the railroad
track. The place was unfrequenlcd, and located
with a view to the safety Of the neighborLood
should an explosion occur. AT the tune Of the
accident it contained eighty thirty.bve pound
cans Of the explosive agent, an amount suiii

accompanied by sharp peal OF thunder. The

yauced about one hundred yards on It's way

a CongressionaI Invcstigation.

Some of the gentlemen in congress, who were
accused, during the presidential canvass, of
having been brlbed by Cakes Ames and the
credit nao5ijer to support legislation in favor of
the Union Pacific Railway Company, are very
much in earnest 10 have the matter inyesti-
gated In the house, an investigating commit
tee has been appointed and, of course, there
will be an inquiry and a report; but we know the
result beforehand. Since the time of the alleged
bribery, there has been no legislation either for
or against that company, excepting resolution
authorizing a removal of the company's head
quarters to Boston, and a reafiirmation of one
clause of the act Of 1864. The record shows
that the charges of bribery, in this case, were
preposterous; for it shows that there was no
legislation to be supported by bribery or other
wise. All the legislation needed or asked for
was completed more than year be-
fore Mr.. Ames had anything to do with either
the railway or the credit nlobaser. All this is
quite as well known now as it will be when the
report of this investigating committee shall be
published.
The terms Of the resolution contne the inyes-
tigation to the charge of bribery; it requ Tres
the committee "to investigate and ascertain
whether any member of this house was bribed
by Cakes Ames or any person or corporation,
in any matter touching his legislative duty"
We confess freely that we are unable TO see any
good reason for the proposed investigation; and
we regret to see the time of congress wasted by
it. But, if the gentlemen concerned feel the
false and preposterouS charges as keeny as the
appointment of this committee indicates, the
investigation may not be wholly useless. We
trust, hewever, that the patience of the country
is not to be tried by another series of useless
congressional investigating committees,
