Explosion at Indianapolis.

A terrible locomotive explosion Oc-
Cured early in the morning, March 13,
in the Union Depot at Indianapolis.
The force of the explosion tore out the
entire west end of the Union Depot, and
blew or dragged down fully thirty feet
Of the immense roof which spans the
tracks. The mail room, in the south
west corner. shared the wreck, the north
wall being pushed inward and burying
underneath, besides a large quantity Of
valuable matter, Fred. Steinbauer, As.
sistant Transfer Agent, who had just
lain down in one of the berths. His
cries brought relief before his injuries
were serious. Isaac Ballard, of the
Junction engine, was blown from the
gangway to the rear of the tender, and
was covered with the falling debris from
the roof and wall, besides being scalded
upon the face and neck, hands and
shoulders, and other portions of his body.
He also received conclusion of the spine
and some injury to his lower limbs, the
exact nature Of which is not demon
strated. Had the accident taken place
earlier the loss of life whOuld have been
immense, but the /. b. and w. train is
the last to leave, and was waiting for
the arrival of the Junction train to
transfer western passengers. An inquest
was commenced in the afternoon on the
body of A. w. Moore, the engineer who
was killed. The theory of the explosion
is this: Some months ago careless fire.

and in repair every alternate plate of
the boiler was replaced by a new one.
1t is well known that scorched iron will
not expand, and during the months she
has been in use the rivets of the old
plates have gradually worked loose,
owing to the non-expansion, until the

The Coming Of the Tramps.

The Cheyenne (Wyoming) Neaos has
this bit of cheering intelligence: East
ward the star of Empire takes its way.
The grand army of tramps over the Union
Pacific are now vending their way from
California to the Centennial Exposition,
and as rule wear better apparel than
this unremunerative class of travellers
usually sport. With ponderous diamond
(paste) breastpin and an unlimited
amount of cheek, they undauntedly
mount a passing train, and when detected
by the ticket-puncher are both ready
and anxious TO argue the case indefinitely,
their plea being, You are the first con-
ductor that has offered to put me of !"
or that they have walked every step of
the way from Frisco. After being made
to realize that "chin music" won't
avail, they disgustedly step off the plat.
form and wait for an opportunity to slip
in between the cars and move on. 1t
matters not where these migratory, pow
erty-stricken individuals may be invited
to remain by the conductors, they almost
invariably wait the next train and al
ways have in their possession a time
schedule of the division they are "beat-
ing" thus being enabled to know just
when the next chance will be. IT'S folly
to even think of stopping this system Of
"excurting" under the existing laws,
but SO much pillaging and petty pilfering
is constantly being committed by MEM
bers of this peculiar fraternity, that 1t is
not improbable that laws will soon be
in force over this entire continent making
il punishable offense to thus defraud
even railroads. Until that time we must
grin and bear it.

A Strange Meeting.

There arrived in Macon, by the At
lanta train the other evening, a woman
with eight children. The oldest of these
children was not over seven years of age.
Two of them were too young to be able
to walk, and one is just able to toddle.
The woman stated that she came from
Cleveland, Ohio, and was on her way to
Florida to join her husband, who had
gone before. She reached Macon on a
pass from the Mayor of Atlanta, and was
utterly without means. Mr.. Cherry, at
the depot, interested himselfin behalf of
the unfortunate family and succeeded in
raising some five or six dollars for her.
Not being able to procure accommoda-
tion at any hotel or boarding-house,
Officer Grace took them to the City Hall,
where they could at least find shelter for
the night. When they entered the City
Hall there was man there, who at first
attracted no attention, but after awhile
one of the children made the discovery
that the man was its father. The sur
prise that followed may be imagined.
Tha man had left Cleveland on the 25th
of January to go to Florida. He has
travelled most of his way on foot. His
wife supposed him to be in the land of
flowers, whereas he reached the City Hall
not more than fifteen minutes ahead of
her. What the unfortunate family will
now do, no one knows. Ten people, a
long way from friends. and without
means-it is a pitiable state of affairs

lDuels.

There are many reasons why duels
rarely end fatally. All the gunsmiths
keep pistols warranted not to hit barn
door at ten PAGES. They arc grooved all
sorts of ways; they are made so light
that the least load of powder sends them
to the skies; the trigger is made so hard
the hand pulls the pistol higher than
even the skies; the hammer is weighted,
and has such powerful spring the bar
rel is knocked down. Moreover, the
seconds always take care to overload,
that the pistol, no matter how carefully
aimed, may bounce over the subject.
Lastly, but by no means leastly, there is
the emotion inseparable from maiden
appearance in the part of target for an
enemy's loaded pistol. 1t is incredible
how fast eyelids will snap under these
circumstances

Effects Of the San Oh Lunatics.

The French Gazette lie Hopitaur con-
tains a curious article on this subject.
DR.. Ponza, director of the lunatic asylum
at Alessandria (Piedmont), having con-
ceived the idea that the solar rays might
have some curative power in diseases of
the brain, communicated his views to
Father Secchi of Rome, who replied in
the following terms: "The idea of study
ing the disturbed state of lunatics in
connection with magnetic perturbations
and with cOlored, especially violet, light
of the sun, is of remarkable Importance,
and | consider it worth being cultivated"
Such light is easily obtained by filter
ing the rays through glass of that color.
Violet" adds Father Secchi, "has
something melancholy and Oppressive
about it, which, physiologically, causes
low spirits; hence, no doubt. poets have
draped melancholy in violet garments.
Perhaps violet light may calm the
nervous excitement of unfortunate
maniacs." He then, in his letter, adj
vises Dr. Ponza to perform his expert
ments i'm rooms the walls of which are
painted of the same color as the glass
panes of the windows, which should be
as numerous as possible, in order to IA
vor the action Of solar light, 80 that it
may be admissible at any hour Of the
day. The patients should pass the night
in rooms oriented to the east and to the
south, and painted and glazed as above.
DR.. Ponza, following the instructions OF
the learned Jesuit, prepared several
rooms in the manner described, and kept
several patients there under observation.
One of them affected with morbid taci-
turnity, became gay and affable after
three hours stay in red chamber
another, a maniac who refused all food,
asked for some breakfast after having
stayed twenty-four hours in the same
red chamber. In a blue one, highly.
excited madman with a straight waist.
coat on was kept all day; an hour after
he appeared much calmer. The action
Of blue light is very intense on the optic
nerve, and seems to cause sort of op.
preston. A patient was made to pass q
night in the violet chamber; on the fol
lowing day, he begged DIR. Ponza to send
him home, because he felt himself cured
and indeed he has been well ever since
DIR. Ponza's conclusions from his expert
ments are these: "The violet rays are
of all others, those that possess the most
intense electro chemical power; the red
light is also very rich in calorific rays
blue light on the contrary, is quite de
void of them as well as of chemical and
electric ones. Its benefcent influence
is hard to explain; as it is the absolute
negation of all excitement, it succeeds
admirably in calming the furious excite
ment of maniacs."

Failure Of Daniel Drew.

The failure of Daniel Drew May well
create a sensation. He was All old specu-
latOr on the financial bourse. He must
be now in the neighborhood Of eighty
years of age. He was originally hog
drover over the Allegheny Mountains.
He acquired great success, he made his
millions. lie used to chuckle over his
fortunate speculations, and say that the
"boys"-and every body was boy un-
der fifty-fve or sixty-were pretty
smart, but there were some tricks of the
trade that they had yet to learn. Drew
was one of the leaders of Wall street. He
was considered hardly inferior to Van
derbilt in pecuniary responsibility. In
the New York and Erie Railroad he was
the antagonist of Vanderbilt, and of
Gould and Fisk. We should almost as
soon have expected to hear of the failure
of the veteran Commodore as of that of
Daniel Drew. But i'm the present times,
with constant declining values under
the specie resumption process, who is
safe? The severity OF the times is
well evinced by the failure of such man
as Daniel Drew, one of the gold kings of
New York, and whose paper for long
period was the best that was going in
Wall street. 1t was highly colored and
tint-satin, yet he is behind hand
u 100000.
