the street, aud scattering powders, brick
aud dust In all directions. A piece about
four feet long was broken off by the shock,
and the larger portion bounded lengthwise
to the west sidewalk against a long row of
brick dwellings, shiverng the iron fence
into atoms, crushing stone steps and pave
ments into pebbles, and shattered the
window panes of nearly all the houses in
the neighborhood. There were three little
girls, all Of the age of five years, skippinga
rope in front Of one of the houses, and as
the enormous mass of metal bounded from
the street toward the buildings, it struck
all three of them, crushing their skulls and
flinging them violently TO the ground. Two
of them fell with their bodies across the
sidewalk, and their heads toward tie
houses the other fell at right angles with
them, so that when the cruel instrument OF
death bounded from the stone steps, against
which it struck, it fell upon her 50 as to
hide her completely. II did not reach her
playmates, but one of them was already
dead. and the other so terribly mangled as
TO be beyond all human succor. Her little
fingers were still around the rope which
she had been turning, and with her aisen-
agaged hand she seemed still reaching It
for her playmates. The two children were
probably killed by the boiler as it bounded
from the street, and instantly. Their TAX

THE TERRIFIC BOILER EXPLOSION at
Cincinnati on Monday, of last week, was
occasioned by flaw in one of the boilers,
which were "a inches in diameter and 80
feet long. One of the boilers projected to
the rear of the building, and in slanting
direction upward. Directly back of it were
three men in conversation. Two of them
It struck and hurled as if they had been
shot from the month Of a cannon, finging
one upon heap of Goals halfway across
the yard, with his head horribly mangled
and scarcely whole bone in his body, and
the other through the little open shed under
which they had been standing TO the fence
beyond whence his inanimate body re-
bounded TO the ground hideous and I'M
recognizable mass of quiverng flesh. The
former was Ostholthof; the latter Unkirch.
Pieces of his skull were found in several
places. Clots of brain and bloody masses
of his hair were dangling from the broken
timbers through which he had been blown;
and on the fence which stopped his poor
body was great greasy purple daub to
mark where he struck. His limbs were all
broken, seemingly into small jointures in
the flesh, and some of them were blown
away altogether. Strange 10 relate, the
third man of the group, Herllnger, was but
slightly injured. The boiler went whiz-
zing by him like an enormous cannon ball,
FLASHING hot water in his face and shower
ing bricks and particles Of iron upon him,
but II did not strike him. The other boiler
had most ext aordinary career. The ex-
plosion tore II in two, and threw one piece,
about eight feet in length, straight up two
or three hundred feet, whence II descended
to bury itself lengthwse in the ground but
a few feet from where 1t started, while the
other piece, some twenty-five feet long aud
weighing nearly 5000 pounds, shot up like
an arrow and sped through the air at an
elevation that, to the eyes of those who OBJ
served its passage, reduced II to mere
speck in the sky, the amazing distance of
FIVE squares, or nearly third of a mile. It
struck the earth with resoundlng crash
on Baymiler street, tearing great hole in

shock Is described as resembling park Of
artillery fired directly beneath the town.
The scene beggarod description. Nearly
the whole population was buried beneath
the ruins. Cries for help, and screams Of
pain from the wounded beneath the ruins
filed the air, while those who escaped were
calling for aid to rescue fathers and moth
ors, wives and children. The first shock
was followed in quick succession by three
others. Over 300 distinct shocks were felt
between half-past two and sunrise. The
face of the earth was in constant tremble
over three hours. A chasm was opened,
extending thirty-five miles down the val
lev, ranging from three inches to forty feet
in width. Rocks were torn from their pla-
ces and rolled down into the valley.
The shocks continued, decreasing in
force, up TO Thursday morning, when over
a thousand had been counted. At Tibbetts
rancho 10 miles above Independence, forty
acres of ground sunk seven feet below the
surface of the surrounding country.
Big owens Lake has risen four feet since
the first shocks, and owens River ran oy-
er its banks, depositing schools of fish on
the shore. Afterward 1t receded. For
three or four miles through Lone Pine the
earth cracked, and one side remained sta
tionary while the other sank seven or eight
feet, leaving wall of earth extending over
three miles in length, where formerly there
was level plain. Innumerable cracks
were made throughout the valley. Kern
and owens Rivers turned and ran up
stream several minutes leaving their beds
dry, and finally returned with largely in
creased volume.
There are rumors of a volcano in active
operation seen from the summit of Green
Hood mountain, sixty miles south of Wis

tradition, occurred in that region som,
hundreds of years ago, and created what II
known as owens River Valley, but which
was before a chain of mountains. The sec
ton affected by the earthquake was sparse
ly inhabited, mainly by people engaged il
working silver bearing lead mines.
A gentleman from Independence asserts
that smoke and ashes from the volcano
were distinctly seen southwark from the
place, and word had been brought that lava
was seen flaming down the mountain, bu
the report was not authenticated.
Shocks still continue, though with de
creased violence. 1t is remarkable tina

Academy of Music:
My Dear Director; The reputation Of the American
pianos established everywhere by the eNtraordi-
nary sensation they created at the Paris Exhibition Of
1861. Since that time several Of the leading piano
manufacturers in Europe have found II expedtni to
construct pianos Of the American kind. The distin-

tone and extreme soldity Of construeton-were eyi-
dent to eye aud In the most admirable instrument
Manufactured by Hallet Davis Co., OF Boston, which
was tested here yesterday.
II Is highly desirable that the use and enjoyment OF
these Instruments should be attanabe for European
pianists. with distinguished regards,
