HELLGATE EXPLOSION.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 26.-The Hellgate ex.
plosion came off on Sunday at the mo
ment announced three days ago. Hal
let's point reef was demolished without
harm elsewhere, although $4,000 pounds
of nitro-glycerine, dynamite and giant
powder were exploded simultaneously.
The effect Of the explosion was in a
straight, and apparently narrow line,
Of 800 yards. The water rose evenly
four feet high; dull thud was heard.
The rocky shores beneath the multitude
of spectators trembled as from two
quick, short pulsat;ons Of an earthquake
The water which had seemed stationary
for moment, broke, squirting in irreg-
ular yellowish masses, mixed with dark
smoke from the dynamite, twelve feet
high, then fell back and the water re-
sumed it's peaceful aspect. Three cheers
from all on the northeast side Of the
city, from the Connecticut and Long
Island shores. Steamers and boats
blew loudly their steam whistles and
bells were ringing on every hand. This
morning nothing is left Of the reef, or
the Golfer dam which enclosed it, but
fragments of the latter, floating, except
broken rock to be lifted away.
At Louisville at midnight houses were
shaken and glass ratified by an
EARTHQUAKE.

labor at Red Cloud and Spotted Tail by
securing the signatures Of the Indians

the country by a deputation of head
men and chiefs shall be for going to
Indian Territory.
Three
EORTIFIELD ROBBERS
captured at Melalia are lodged in Jail at
Faribault. Fears Of rescue and of lynch
ing are entertained, but the Jail is
strongly guarded. They are identified
as Cole and Bob Younger, of the Mis-
souri, gang, and AL. Carter, a Texas des-
perado who lately joined them. The
one killed at Madela is identified as
Charley Pitts, another Texas member of
the gang. "
THE CAPTURE OF THE ROBBERS
was effected about six miles west Of
Medelia, Wantonwan County, MINI.
They had been hiding in the woods and
came to farm house for bread and
butter. The fact was Immediately re-
ported when the citizens of Medelia and
others surrounded them in the wood
and fight ensued in which Capt. W.
w. Murphy, a merchant at Medelia, was
severely wounded in the side and Geo.
Bradford received slight scratch. One
Of the robbers was killed and the other
three we're seriously wounded. The
other two had separated from the four
and made their way to Dakota where
one of their last exploits was to capture
physician, use him for guide all
night, and then change clothes with
him in the morning, even to socks.
Sheriff Mcdonald, Of Sioux City, and
several Dakota sheriffs are still on their
track.
