Terrible Gunpowder ExplOsion-Fiye
Men Blown to Pieces.

The powder.houses belonging to the
Miami Powder Company, located be-
tween Xenia and Yellow Springs, Ohio,
on the Little Miami railroad, exploded
about 10 o'clock on Monday morning.
Five men were killed-Mero, Ballard
and Robinson (white) and Conley and
Duncan (colored). The bodies were
shockingly mutilated and burned:
Conley was blown into fragments, and
nothing could be found of him but a
portion of his head. Samuel Miner was
blown across the millracs, and his hear
ing partially destroyed. Others were
badly stunned, barely escaping with
their lives. All the manned we're men
of families.
The shock was so great that in ad.
iacent towns and cities much consterna
ton ensued. In Dayton the children
rushed from the school-buildings, the
fire bells rang, and it was the general
apprehension that some great calamity
had occurred within the city limits
In Troy and Tippecanoe the houses were
shaken as by an earthquake, and the
shock was distinctly felt at Urbana and
Xenia. A brick house. standing more
than a mile distant, had its windows
completely blown out, and was other
wise damaged. Hundreds of window
were broken at Yellow Springs.
The first explosion occurred in thu
wheel-mill. This communicated will

process of manufacture is contained il
canvas bags. The double lighthouse
fifty feet square, containing vas
quantity of dry powder, came in mex
for destruction. Then followed tn
elaze.mill, the canning.mill and packing
house. The mills were situated some
distance apart, but the conclusion wa
so great as to produce an explosion il
all. From twenty to thirty tons Q
powder were in the destroyed buildings
The company estimate their loss a
425, 900.

The Pontiac (Mich.) Gazette, speaking
of the colored man, Edward Harris,
whose wanderings through the country
while suffering from disease have been
noted, says: The FIRST intelligence We
have Of Harris is that he stopped at the
Waverley House at Flint, stating to the
proprietor that he was sick, and unable
to 20 further. A physician (Dr. AFFORD
was sent for, who pronounced his disease
the smallpox, and requested that he
might be kept closely until arrange
ments could be made for his protection.
Instead Of obeying this humane advice,
the keeper of the hotel drove him Of,
and rot him on . car bound south, thus
lending his aid in distributing malig-
nant disease, that might have been put
out Of the way Of further mischief II the
precautions Of the physician had been
needed. This was the first error, If we
can call such deliberate cruelty by %
convenient name. When the conduc-
tor called for his fare, Harris acknowl-
edged he had the smallpox, and was
without money, and was dropped at
Grand Blanc at night, poorly clad and
half starved. Thence he started
through the snow, on bitter cold even.
ing, with the fever raging in his veins,
to walk to Holly. The news, however,
preceded him, and before he reached
the town an officer met him holding q
loaded pistol ut his head, compelling
him to make circuit of the village
His feet were now 90 swollen from the
cold that he carried his boots in his
hand and walked barefooted through
the snow. Pursued like savage beast
without food, slowly freezing in spite o.
. high fever, he reached Davisburgh
where he found brief respite, but wa
soon started again on his way, after be
ing detained for stealing, and reachet
Pontiac, when, after wandering about
few hours, he was finally taken il
charge by the city officials and confines
in . rudely constructed shed, where
after brief struggle with the diseas
and the cold, the poor fellow died o.
Monday night, and II was with the u'
most difficulty that any one could b
found to bury him on Tuesday nigh
but il was finally accomplished. Tn
old sieve used - pest-house was in
mediately burned.
