THE FATAL FUSE.
A Negro Man Blown Up And Horribly
ManSIed.

About 8 p. NJ. yesterday, while engaged
in blasting on Vine street near Church,
John Fuqua, colored, was blown up and
horribly manglel. He was employed by
Mr.. Breen, who has the contract to dig tie
holes for the,fire alarm telegraph posts, and
was in the act Of blasting rock in one of
these when the accident occurred. Having
fired the fuse and waited long enough, he
thought, to prove that it had gone out, he
advanced TO make a second attempt to
touch il of. and when over the hole the
charge went off with terrific shock, throw
inc him several feet high and almost dig
oi1r a grave for him TO fall back in
He was removed Immediately to a cabin
near by and DIR. Duncan Eve was called to
examine his injuries. Fuqua presented a
fearful sight, having sustained injuries
which can hardly fail TO prove fatal. His
RIGHT ankle was crushed, the left arm
broken lust above the elbow, the right side
of his chest badly bruised by rock, his
hands and face severely burned, ard both
eyes probably put out.
| The unfortunate man was taken IN al
most a diving condition to his home III
| south Nashville. He bears good repata-
ton. and was regarded by his employer as
a firsi-clsss blaster.

Death Of Hon. William Newman.

The many friends of him whose name
heads this article, will learn with unfei-
gned regret OF his death, which occurred
at his old family residence. on Second
street in this city. His health has been
somewhat shattered for several years, and
an attack of cholera .morbus coming on
last Tuesday night prostra.el him; his
failing strength would not allow him to
rally, and Thursday afternoon, July %, a:
% minutes past four, he died peacefully
and without pain. s.s5. 4
Intimately connected with the city as
one of its earlier citizens, 1t is fitting that
brief mention of his life shoull pass int o
the published history.cf the day. He was
born in Salem, Roanoke county, Virginia
j January 10. 1907. He hurried his wife,
.C;sharine w illiams in Woodstock, Virgil
MIA. 1894. She died in this city July sth'
1856. He first came to Ohio in 1927, and
in 1928 Or 30 returned to Virginia, living
first,at Harrisonburg, and afterw ards at
Staunton. In 1888 he removed to Ports
mouth, where, with the exceptio'I of one
years residence in Highland county, Ohio,
he lived up to the time of his death.
His public and private life was noted
for its firmness of purpose, his utter loath-
ing. of dishonesty in every shape. Fiji
teen years ago Hon-Walter c. Hood wrete
and published of him, and truly too.
''The chief corner store ofhis character
is integrity. William Newman is an hon
est man
, "IIe asks no leader in tho fight,
No times or seasons seek to know,
But, when convinced his cause is right,
r''' He strikes the blow"

house, passing through from end to end,
and striking Mrs. Bowman in it's pass

REVIVAL OF THE IRoN TRADE. The
indications of a revival in the domestic
iron trade continue to multiply. The
Philadelphia Ledger says:
& We learn that the Cambria Iron
Company, Johnstown, Pa, have with
in the past week started their rolling
mill on '.double turn" and the Besse-
mer steel works of the company, which
have been running irregulsrly for some

Pittsburg and neighborhood were
visited by terrible deluge and food
on Sunday night. Several hundred
lives were lost, a large number Of
houses swept away and thousands of
dollars worth of property destroyed:
Accounts Of the terrible flood, which
has deluged nearly all the suburban
sections of this city, as they come in
show that the disaster is far greater
than at first supposed, 1t is now
thought the loss Of life will reach fully
two hundred persons, and the loss of
property be proportionately large.
The extent Of territory damaged is
not less than from twenty to twenty
five miles in diameter, and how the
main portion of the city Of Pittsburg,
lying as it does in the center of this
circle, escaped further injury, appears
almost miraculous. The prevailing
theory is that the disaster was caused
by some kind OF water spout
A gentleman who watched the storm
from point few miles down the river
where there was little rain, says that
by the ftful flashes of lightning he
could see huge inky-black tunnels
shaped cloud, which overhung the city,
the narrow end being the lowest, while
the dark parts gave vent to almost
continuous flasher Of lighting. 1t is
almost impossible for any one not fami-
liar with the geography of the locality
to form an idea of the disaster or how
it could possibly have occurred, The
main city of Pittsburg as it rises grad
ually from point formed by the juno
ton of the two rivers has many gull
ches in certain localities, which, under
a flood Of this description, are liable to
do great damage, and the part known
as the hill region is frequently liable to
suffer from local innn1a ion. Damage
here, however, is at this time light
compared with other 1l'7calities strictly
suburban. The 4 north bank Of the
Allegheny upon whose hillsides and in
whose valleys the upper portion Of the
city is situated, has been, to all accounts
the scene Of the greatest disaster. T.
The loss Of human life has been
frightful At McLaughlin's run eleven
persons were drowned, among them
whole family, named Mclean, being
swept away.
A house owned by Mr.. Stratton,
which has been standing one hundred
years, was torn away, and after beng
taken down the stream a mile and a
half Mr.. Stratton succeeded in making
his escape. U3a .len ~
During the flashes Of lightning her
ses and cattle, and animals of ali kinds
could be seen. floating in the torrent,

heard above the food. A34A ~ p
