CUSTOMHOUSE CORRUPTION.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-At the Custom
house investigation to-day, the motion of
Gen. Pratt that the committee terminate
its labors here next Saturday, and hereafter
continue the investigation in Washington,
was carried, the Republicans voting in the
affirmative, and the Democrats in the mega
tive.
Special agent Jayne gave an account of
the procedure in cases of fraud. He said
in the case Of one Wheeler, fraud was at
tempted to be covered up by one of the
custom clerks, in which afterwards $4,000
wss recovered.
There are two cases in which no pro-
ceedings were taken. One was shat Of
Ferdinand HEATH. In every other seizure,
thirty-three in New York and one in Bos-
ton, suits were instituted and the amonnt
Of judgments obtained was 63G,7S7. For
the seizure Of books and papers, received
my share $4,000, but I divided it with
Others, perhaps $4,000. The government
received three times as much as it would
have received if the regular duties had been
paid.
The United States Weigher rarely or
never weighs anything. He designates
whom be likes to perform the duty. The
unsworn person returns the weight, and
the United States Weigher really knows
nothing about its correctness, but relies on
him entirely. The importer swears when
be enters goods rs to their value but not as
TO weight.

The Fisk Murder Trial

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Stokes was brought
before the Court of Oyer and Terminer
this morning. There was a large attend
ance Of spectators. All of Stokes counsel
were present, Judge CardOzO on the bench.
District Attorney Garvin demurred to some
of the pleas of Stokes counsel and trav-
ersed. One of the prisoners counsel said
it would require time to procure witnesses
and to try the issue thus raised, and that a
jury would be necessary. The Judge stated
he would summon an additional jury of 500
and then adjourned the court to Monday.
The issue to be then tried is that raised by
the prisoners counsel against the legality of
the indictment by the Oyer and Terminer
grand jury.

Explosion of Il Powder Mill.
/ %.

Five Magazines Blown up-Six Men
Killed and Several Missing.
! SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, Feb. 5.-Five
powder houses belonging to the Miami
Powder Company, located between Xenia
and Yellow Springs, on the Little Miami
Railroad, exploded about 10 o'clock this
morning. Five men were killed and one
is missing, who is supposed to be killed.
| The grounds were strewn with timbers ETC.,
for half a mile around. Hundreds of win
| dows were broken at Yellow Springs, and
| this city was considerably shaken, bringing
the people to the streets in great alarm. No
| further particulars yet received.
| CINCINNATI, Feb. 5.-A special to the
| Chronicle says the names of the killed in
| the explosion of the powder mill were Ne
70, Ballard and Robinson, white; and Con-
ley, colored. Conley was blown into frag-
ments. Nothing could be found of him
but portion of his head and trunk. The
| shock was distinctly felt at Dayton, Urbana
and Xenia. The amount of the loss has not
| been ascertained. Hundreds of citizens are
hurrying to the scene of the disaster, and
rendering all possible assistance. Duncan,
! a colored man, is so terribly lacerated that
his death is mOmentarily expected. Search
is being made among the ruins for more
workmen, some of whom are missing. The
bodies of the dead are shockingly mutilated
and burned. The mills are situated some
distance apart, but the conclusion was so
great as to produce an explosion in all the
rest. A brick house standing more than
mile distant had its windows completely
blown out, and was otherwise damaged.

Later Details.
The explosion in the mills of the Miami
Powder Company, near Xenia, this morn
ing, is one of the most terrible in the his
tory of powder making in the West. The
shock was so great that in adjacent towns
much CONSERVATION ensued. In Dayton
children rushed from the school
buildings; the fire bell rang,
and there was general apprehension
that some great calamity had occurred
within the city. In Tray and TippecanOethe
houses were shaken as by an earthquake.
The first explosion occurred in a
wheel mill. This communicated
with the press mill, where the pow
der was in process of manufacture.
contained in canvas bags. A double dry
house, fifty feet square, containing vast
quantity of dry powder, came in next for
destruction. From this the flames started
on errands of terrible destruction, other
mills following in quick succession.
The Gdzette's special says two large
double lighthouses, three glaze mills, one
canning mill, two press and one packing
houses were annihilated, while
the remainder Of the company's works
were more or less injured. The names of
those killed instantly were A. Nero, D.
Comfy, colored, VIM. Robbins and John
Bulbar. Henry Duncan, colored, was
wounded and viii probably die. Sam
Miner was blown across the mill and his |
hearing partially destroyed. Others were |
hardly stunned, barely escaping with their |
hAes. All the killed were men of families. !
There were from twenty to twenty-five tons
Of powder in the destroyed buildings. The
