Explosion of Keg Of Powder In Con-
vict's Hand.

Quite a serious accident occurred on
the Capitol Grounds yesterday after
noon, at 5 O'Clock, in which Rufus
Wall and Jack Woody, two convicts,
were badly injured. The squad Of pris-
oners working on the east side OF the
grounds, under the bluff overlooking
Park Street, had ceased TO work, and
were packing up their tools when the
accident occurred. Wall had twenty
five pound key of powder in his hands
when spark of fire from the bluff over
head flew into it, causing the powder to
explode, and throwing him dozen feet
into the air. His hands, arms and face
were burned very badly, and his cloth
ing set on fire; but, though his eye
brows were burned off, his eyesjght was
not DESTROYED. Woody was STOPPING
near him in the act of picking up a
spade, and was also injured. Both
were wrapped up in blankets and taken
TO the Penitentiary, where their Injuries
were examined by DR.. Jamison, the
hospital physician. A negro prisoner
had ladder on his shoulder, within a
few feet of the spot, when a portion OF
the key struck him. He stumbled and
fell, his hand being hurt in the fail.

A Brownsville young man called on

The Dynamite Fiend.

The second official report has been
published at Bremen of the results of
the investigation into the dynamite ex-
plosion at Bremerhaven some months
ago. The synopsis fully confirms in
outline the name, aRtecedents and con-
uections of the villain, Thomas" pub
Hshed some time ago in the American
papers to the following effect: That
his real name was Alexander Keith, Jr. /;
that he was born in Halifax, Nova
Scotia; that he was a stauneh friend OF
the South during the civil war; that he
harbOred aud aided blockade runners,
and became one himself; and that he
absconded from Halifax in 1864, with
Sl5O,OO or 100000 intrusted to him
BY Confederates to buy provisions for
the Southern army. The report says
that the amount embezzled was equal
to the larger amount above mentioned,
and included $4,000 insurance on the
steamer Caledonia, which was lost at
sea. Keith subsequently lived in New
York as Alexander King Thompson,
hut his connections there are unknown.
In 1865, he appeared at Highland, H.,
in possession Of $4,000. q, He married
there Miss Cecily Paris. 'AConfederate
colonel named Smeot, whom be had de-
frauded, had him arrested and taken 10
St. Louis, where the case was com
promised, he fearing other prosecutions.
In 1866 he came 10 Europe with his
wife. No accessories TO the Bremen
haven crime have been discovered.
The model submitted by Herr Fuchs is

Keith by the workman Rim. The re-
port concludes by stating that the in

Reservoirs for the Mississippi.

In order to dc away with the enor-
mously destructive freshets which oc-
cur every spring along the course of the
Mississippi it is proposed to establish a
system of reservoirs above the falls of
st. Anthony, by building number of
dams to withhold the water from the
river in the spring and utilize it when
necessary. From surveys recently made
by United States engineers it appears
that the area of the water sheds, or
affiuents of the great river above the
falls of St. Anthony, is 19,903 square
miles, which might hold, beside the
present supply, $500, 100000 cubic
feet of water. At low water there is a
deficit at st. Paul which might be sup
piled from these reservoirs and the flow
be kept even, or at such rate OF mo-
ton as might be required. The time
will probably soon come when human
providence will deal with the Mississip-
pi-the Nile of Americans the ancient
Egyptians dealt with the sacred river.
One of the wonders of the engineering
skill of those great people was the Lake
of Maris by which the foundations Of
the Nile were regulated and water stored
I'D for irrigation during the low stage
of the water. With such reservoirs as
now proposed an equally great and ad-
mirable work might be accomplished
in America. -EDchG7lQe,

A Well Kept Secret.

The Columbus CO., Journal says I:
Some ten or twelve years ago, young
man named John McCarty came to this
city, and was employed by Mr.. Thomas
Miller, President of the Friend Street
Railroad Company. The young man
was industrious, attentive to business,
and gained the confidence OF his en-
ployer to such an extent that he
was taken into the family and adj
yanced to position as time rolled on,
until he found himself Superintendent
of the road. During this time he had
saved his means, and, by judiciOus in
vestments, is at present worth perhaps
$4,000 or $4,000. Every thing pass
ed off pleasantly between the employer
and employee until last Monday.
The astounding information was then
conveyed to Mr.. Miller that McCarty
and his daughter Maggie had been mar
ried for nearly two years, and not a
soul in this city except the couple were
informed of it. As the story goes, the
Young people, in company with other
Young folks, went to Cincinnati in April,
1874, and while in that city the nuptial
knot was tied. They returned home
with the party, and have kept the Sc
cret locked within their breasts for two
long years. Only a short time since
Mr.. Miller presented his daughter with
a house and lot, which she recently sold
for $4,000 or $1,000. 1t is said that Mr..
Miller was so incensed at their secret
marriage that he forbid his daughter
and her husband remaining longer at
home, and that they are now out OF the
city. After the unpleasant feeling en-
gendered by the parental surprise has
Spent itself, they viii in all prob ability
be welcomed home; just as such affairs
have oftened occurred and ended in the
past, and as they are bound to be re-
peated so long as an arrow remains IN

A Case Of Wholesale Poisoning.


A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette writes as follows FROM Hills
boro, Highland County, Ohio:
The citizens of Hillsboro were star
tied Yesterday morning by the report
that resident of that town had
poisoned his wife, three children, and
himself The report proved to be true,
or partly so at least, and the facts, as
developed, to be as follows: The mans
name is George Shields, about thirty or
thirty-three years of age, an Irishman,
and BY occupation a shoemaker, his
specially being, we believe, wOmen's
work He has beenea resident of the
town more than two or three years, but
had earned agood reputation as work
man, and as steady and industrious
man. Hard times, however, and scarcity
of work had their effect. And brood
ing over his troubles, and perhaps in
morbid imagination seeing nothing but
starvation staring himself and his little
family in the face, he resolved on their
destruction and his own through the
agency of q deadly norcotic. Procuring
quantity of morphine, the next
question was how to administer it to his
wife and children without their knowl-
edge. This he did by making guam
| tity of egg-nog on Wednesday evening,
of which the family partook and retired
to bed, leaving Shields sitting up. 1t
seems that the dose was too small 10
produce the intended effect, and the
wife and children slept through the
night without feeling any bad effects
from the drug. Some time during the
night Shields took another dose. To-
ward morning his wife awoke, and was
surprised TO find her husband still up,
and sitting by the stove writing. As
soon as he discovered that she was
awake he threw the paper upon which
he had been writing into the stove, thus
destroying what is supposed to have
been intended as a statement or dying
declaration. Within a short time
Shields became senseless from the ef-
fects of the morphine he had taken, and
fell to the floor. The alarm was given
and medical aid procured. By this
time the wife and children had also
become deathly sick, and for some time
it seemed as though the intentions
of the husband and father would be
successful, and that all would die. BY
the prompt use, however, of the proper
remedies the wife and children were re-
stored to consciousness, and their re-
covery is hoped for. Shields remained
in very critical condition during the
day, with slight prospects for recovery
at times, but died in the evening.
understand that some time during yes
terday Shields made statement to the
effect that he did not intend to kill hi:
wife or the children, but only gave then
enough, as he thought, to stupefy then
80 that they would not witness his death
This statement Will be taken of course
with some grains of allowance, although
| believe there are many who have con
fidence in It. Shields is said to be re
specially connected by marriage, his
wife being daughter of - Dillon, o
Lynchburg, O., and the terrible tragedy
has cast q gloom over that community
where he formerly resided and was vel
and favorably known.

CAREFUL observation has confirmed
the common belief that rats and mice
use their tails for feeding purposes when
they find liquid food in a situation which
prevents drinking. Mr.. G. j. Romanes
writes to Nature that he took two tall
preserve bottles, with rather short and
narrow necks, and filed them to within
three inches of the top with currant-
iellv which had only half stifened. The
bottles were covered with bladder, and
left where the rats could get to them.
The next morning the bladder coverings
were found,a small hole gnawed through
them, and the surface of the Jelly had
lowered equally in the two bottles. To
prove beyond doubt that the tails had
been used in the manner suspected, the
bottles were refilled, round pieces of
paper laid on the jelly, and recovered.
They were there kept until one of the
papers was well covered with mold.
This bottle was again exposed in place
frequented by rats. The next morning
the bladder was again found to be per-
forated, and there were distinct marks
of the tails on the mold. The rats had
got no jelly, but In their fruitlsss en-
deavors to pierce the paper with their
tails, they had traced minute burrows
in the mold,
