Terrific Report!-Great Smasaing
OF windsws-what Was H:-A
Sensational Conundrum.

About Gts or Z o'clock Yesterday
morning that portion Of tho pop
ulation Of Gold Hill who had not gone
out to the prize fight, were very much
startled by = loud e~xplosian. 4 short
distance north Of the Episcopal
Church. Many thought It was the
bursting Of = boiler, steam drum, or
something Of that sort at the Yellow
Jacket works; but IL wasn't. IL oc.
Cured at the rear OF S~perling's res
idence. or We might say, between II
and Yenjahn's house, which is i've or
six feet north Of II. The nelghbors
fastened thither as SOC rs possible
and found plenty Of smashed windows,
but no person who would explain the
matter. Town Marshal Kelly aud
many others, a. well as oursclf, made
n critical examination Of the promises,
but all we could see In explanation OF
the matter, vas that the rear windows
Of S~perling's house and the side WIN
dows OF Yenjahn's house. were pretty
essentially smashed. Both houses, As
well az Sperling's wood-shed, fence
other fixtures aud moveables about
the backyard, were well peppered with
pieces Of some kind OF sheet metal,
which had cut In deeply, rs though
sent with great force. What
ever 1t was that exploded must
have stood on or near the
ground for = whisky barrel filled with
water. which was evidently within q
couple feet OF the thing. was so badly
riddled with the pieces OF metal
driven clear through tho tough oak
slaves that tho water poured out
through the holes. A wash tub and a
tin nail, some ten feet distant, were
al,s Similarly riddled. Nothing was
blackencd BY the explosion, and strange
20 say. there was no mark or sigu on
the ground where the thing must have
stood. Pieces OF tin. copper and leau
wsrs deeply cut Into tho surrounding
woodwork, giving to only apparent
clue to the mystery. Sperlihg was NJ
home shortly before the explosion, out
was not to BE- seen for some time AFTER
wards. The explanation he gave was
that no was blasting a log. and seeing
the damage he had done, he started
Immediately TO Virginia for a glszlcr.
No blasted log, however, was to be
. and It was the opinion Of most
Of thoss who examined Into tho mat
Ter, that Spsrling must have been ex-
perimenting With some new explosive

very good success. aud he
