Terrific Explosion Of Giant Pow
der at the Owyhcc Rapids.

CELLO. Dec. l6-2 Z. NJ.
information has just been received
here of terrible accident which oc-
Cured al Owyhcc Rapids about 10 A.
NJ, yesterday through the premature
explosion of some giant powder, in
stntly killing ID. :. Moore and &. S.
RncarSon, both OF Oregon City. Prep
aratlons were Just being made by Mr..
Moorc, who has had Charge OF the ex-
ploSlvcs, for thawing out about 10
pounds of the powder, which WAS in a
frozen state, by heating with warm
water. An interval OF two or three
minutes had ouly elapsed when a ter
rifle ceNp ploslon took place, blowing..to at
oms the carriage house and Instantly
killing MIR. Moore and Mr., Rinearson,
who were standing some ak or eight feet
outside The house. As the powder was
still IN a frozen condition, the iuse and
caps stored about three hundred feet
away, and as lao one had handled the
powder but Moore, who was Il careful
and experienced man al the business,
and as every possible precamion had
been used 10 avoid any accident, the
cause Of tlc explosion remains Il pro-
io,.nd mystery. In tact, no other thco-
~ can hr given than that the powder
must have been manufactured from in
lclor material and thus more liable tc
spontaneous combustion.

DEATH OF BISHOP JOHNS.

Right Rev. John Johns, bishop of the di-
geese of Virginia of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, died at his residence, Malvern,
Fairfax county, Va, Wednesday night, in
the S0th year of his age. The bishop was
native of Delaware. He was educated at
Princeton College, studied law, but soon en-
tered the ministry, and was for many years
rector of Christ Church, Baltimore. He
was elected assistant bishop of Virginia in
1912, and succeeded Bishep Meade in 1862
as bishop of the diocese of Virginia. In the
General Convention OF 1871 Bishop Johns
took leading part in settling controversy
about the baptismal service, and the bishops
of all schools of opinion entertained the high
est esteem for his judgment. He maintained
full vigor OF mind up to the time of his re-
cent attack. We are told by the Southern
Churchnton that before he became speech
less-and while his precious life was ebbing
away-he expressed his desire either to live
or die-to live if he could work for the
Church Of his Lord but to die was sweet
and be t0ith his Lord No cloud was on his
mind, no fear and SO he passed away
