EXPLOSION ANN FIRE.


Yesterday morning about half-past
eight O'Clock serious explosion took
place OH the premises No. 423 East
Locust street, in the cellar of the store
room occupied by j. p. Carlson as a
grocery. lie had just ordered his lit
tic boy to go down stairs and pick up
some scattering potatoes, when he
thought of something he had to get.
He had opened the door to go down
and was, he thinks, upon the first step
when something suddenly lifted him
up, and whirlcd him around in what
seemed to be a sea of fire and when
he fell, bruised and burned, he found
himself i'm pile of barrels, boards
and boxes. he realized for the first
time that his safety oil cans had ex-
ploded.
Almost blinded and almost suffoca-
ted by the smoke he tried to get back
up stairs but he could not and he
found his way out through the front
cellar door. His boys, who were near
the door as he started down cellar,
now stood on the pavement in front
of the building badly scorched and
their hair completely singed-while a
dense volume of flame and smoke is
sued from the front of the building,
both above and below. The alarm
had been instantly given and the fire
companies were soon on hand with
streams of water playing upon the in
side of the store and the cellar
Nothing could be seen owing to the
dense and suffocating smoke which
was nauseous in the extreme
The cellar was flooded and the
smoke soon cleared away SO that the
interior could be seen. Everything
was black and blistered, and the stock
of goods, worth ut least $500, almost
entirely ruined. The stock of grocer
les next door east of Carlson, was
owned by Geo Richter, and it is. also
feared is badly damaged by the per-
meating, offensive smoke from the
safety oil and kerosene. Richter says
the first he knew of the fire was 9
loud report as ifa cannon had beer
fired next door; he ran out to SEE
what was the matter and saw Carlson
coming out Of the cellar.
Two cans of safety oil were in the
ccllar--one upon the other-this ex,
| plosion caused the mischief. and the
fire which followed set off the barrel
of kerosene, causing the second ex.
plosion, which knocked the firemer
off the pavement into the street and
gutter. The prompt and accurate
action of the fire companies saved
the building.
The most singular feature of the
4 explosion was the fact that there wa.
no light nor fire of any kind i'll tht
cellar. Itappcars to have been cast
of spontaneous combustion.-De

Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
It removes all eruptions and dandrnff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nonrishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy APP
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts,, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and |
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

The Central passenger train. which
left here yesterday at noon, for the
north. met with mishap few miles
north of Searsboro. 1t seems they
were going along at the usual rate Of
speed, when the engineer observed a
lot of cattle on the track. His in
structions are to use all precautions to
prevent accidents, and to stop the
train sooner than to kill stock, at any
time. The cattle left the track, and
going slow as they were and running
along side the road, steer jumped
back on the track just in time to be
caught by the engine. The train was
going SO slow that ii could not knock
the steer of the track, and little too
fast TO stop instantly. The result of
the matter was that the engine caught
the steer, which was held fast by the
pilot. and was thrown down the EN-.
bankment into the ditch. The engin.
eer was badly, but not dangerously
hurt. No other person was injured

At the late meeting of the lIorti-
cultural Society of Western New
York, the question was taken up on
the relative merits Of Embarrassing as
compared with former crops and do
nestle animals. Mr.. Woodward, of
Lockport, said d ncighbor had fifteen
acres in fruit, from which he sold
5000 worth, mostly Of Baldwin and
Greening apples. From the rest of
his farm he made but little. In an
other instance. the fruit trees OH only
a portion of the farm, sold for more
than ten times all the rest of his pro-
duets. On his own farm of l6O acres
thirty of which are in fruit, the lat
ter yielded more profit than all the
rest. He urged the importance OF
good cultivation, and remarked that
a farmer might as well expect to plant
corn and get good crop without
any care, as to get remnnel alive
fruit crops. Most of his profits were
from peaches. He especially recon-
mended thinning the crops, in order
to obtain the best results. In most
localities, apples would doubtless he
