Terrible Explosion.
The Austin Ponder CompGnyS Mills
Bloun Up.

Cleveland, March l6.-The Austin
Powder Company's mills, located near
the canal, five miles south of this city,
blew up this afternoon with y series of
terrific explosions. The works, which
were composed of ten or twelve buildings,
we're completely demolished. LARGE frag-
ments of timber and heavy machinery
were thrown a considerable distance.
There were eight or ten men at work in
and about the mills at the time of the ex-
plosion three of whom were killed, the
rest escaping with a few slight bruises.
The names of the killed are: Fred Put.
nam, aged 33, who leaves a wife and two
children; David Lamson, aged 40, who
leaves wife and four children; and Aug
ust Radcliffe, aged 46, unmarried.
The two magazines in which are stored
a large quantity of powder, are situated
about forty eight rods from the nearest
exploded mill, and did not explode, al
though the roof and wall of the nearest
was badly torn by the Concussion, The
loss to the powder company cannot now
be estimated, but will be heavy. The
buildings, with the exception of the en-
CINE house, were of little value. The ex-
tent of damage to the machinery is not
known.
The cause of the explosion will prob
ably never be known, as the man at the
Coming Mill where the first explosion
occurred, was killed. In the immediate
neighborhood Of the explosion, houses
were badly damaged, windows being
broken and plastering torn off. In the
city the widest excitement prevailed,
many thinking the detonations were
caused by an earthquake. Houses were
rocked and shaken, the people rushed
into the street, horses became frightened,
adding to the alarm by their pranks;
much damage to windows was done. The
large plate glass fronts in Ryder's photo
graph rooms, Baldwins dry goods store in
new City Hall, Cushing's block, Stand
ard block and several other places being
shattered. The damage in the city is es-
timated at from $4,000 to $4,000. An
explosion occurred at these powder Mills
three years ago, but little damage was
done to property except that owned by
the Powder Company.

Presidents appeal for thesupport of mod.

tinued:
We have the greatest confidence in the
experienced administrative staff, who
may rely on our constantsup 1t wilI
be the duty of the Cabinet to insure obG~-
dience and respect for the constitutional
laws, and we are resolved to defend them
against all intrigues; but we shall never
pursue vindictiVe policy. Firm but con-
ciliatory conduct is alone suitable to the
state Of things produced by our misfor-
tunes; would we not strike the last blow
against the power Of France if we eXhib-.
tied to the world spectacle of internal
dissension? The Government will be un-
able to raise the state of siege until the
press laws are modified. and bill in this
connection will be submitted.
The declaration asks that the present
law regarding the appointment ofmayors
be continued for a stated period, and con-
cludes by challenging vote of want of
confidence.
The declaration was received with icy
GOODNESS by the Assembly. There was no
manifestation either of satisfaction or
dissent. The left was at first iritated at
the omission OF all mention OF the Re-
public, and at the passages concerning
public tpnclonares and the raising tie

Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two
and a-half pounds of bile, which contains q
great amount of waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes torpid or con-
gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount OF
noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to
poison the blood and be conveyed TO every part
OF the system. What must be the condition OF
the blood when il is receiving and retaining each
day two and halt pounds of poison Nature
tries to work of this poison through other chan
nels and organs-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. ;
but these organs become oye:taxed IN perform
ing this labor, in addition TO their natural fuuc-
tions, and cannot long Withstand the pressure,
but become variOusly diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical centre
of all vitality, is unduly stimulated by the un-
healthy blood which passes TO it from the het rt,
and it fails to perform its office hcalthfully.
Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are
dullness, headache. incapacity to keep the mind
on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy,
sleepy, or nervous feelings gloomy foreoodngs
and irritabity Of temper. The blood Itself be-
ing diseased, as il forms the sweat upon the sur
face of the skin. is so irritating and poisonous
that il produces diScolored brown spots, pmples,
blotches and other eruptions, sores, boils, car
BANGLES and scrofulous tumors. The stomach,
bowels, aud other organs spoken OF, cannot es-
cape becoming affected, sooner or later, and
costiveness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea,
female weakness, and many other forms OF chro-
mic disease, are among the necessary resoults.
As n remedy for all these manifestations of dis
ease DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
with small daily doses of his Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are positively unequalled. BY them the
liver and stomach are changed TO an active and
healthy state. the appetite regulated and restor-
ed the blood and secreiions thoroughly purified
and enriched, and the whole system renovated
and built up anew. Sold by ali iirst-class drug
gists and dealers in medicine.

LARGEST SCALE CONTRACT EVER AWARDED.
The award of the contract for Post-otiice scales
to the Messrs. Fairbanks has given much salts
faction to the trade and the public generally.
There were six competitors for the contract,
and all kinds of obliqne influences were brought
to bear upon the Postmaster-General and the
committee. The fact that scales for 5000 to
1900 post-officeS had to be supplied by the first
week in January, and that the Messrs. Fairbanks,
at their several branches, from Vermont to Cali
fornia, carry large stocks, must have been
consideration. But the fact that in every capital
of Europe, in the chief cities of India, in semi
barbaric China and Japan, on all the great
American railroads, in the small pioneer stores
on the western frontier, in the large establish
ments of our merchant princes, and in the Ia
boratories of our men of science, the Fairbanks
Scale is the standard, must have influenced the
decision in favor of the champion scale-makers
of the world. This ia the largest contract for
scales ever made in the world, and it is matter
for cougratulation that the Postmaster-General
acted impartally in the award. If the same
principle were adopted in all government con-
tracts beneficial impetus would be given to
American manufacturers in frst-class goods.
The footing obtained by the Fairbanks Scales in
Great Britain is an honor to our country, and
that it has become the Government scale Is but
due to its merits.-N. 7. Egesilg Express.
