columbus, Ohio Letter, April 3o.]

Columbus. Ohio Letter, April &c..
There was en- exciting scene on the floor of
the Ohio Senate today, growing out of a little
misunderstanding In the Democratic family
The Hon. William Bell is railroad commissioner
of Ohio, at salary of $4,000 year. His son
enjoys the position of chief clerk in the Office,
at salary of $1,000. 1t happens that, in
making mp the appropriation bill, which is be-
ing prepared with view to the fall campaign,
young Bells salary was cut down $500. The
elder Bell, who has been secretary of state, and
is generally understood TO have claims upon
the party for the best Offices going, was on
the floor of the Senate to-day lobbying
against the reduction. Senator Forrest,
of Cincinnati, spoke in favor of cutting
the salary down. He said the Office of railroad
commissioner was practically of no account;
that Bell and his son were never to be found at
their post, and that the work was left to a boy
who was usually drunk. Soon after Forrest
had finished q conversation was heard in that
part of the hall. and, the next minute, Forrest
was seen lying on the floor with Bell gripping
/ his throat. Senators rushed in and separated
the conbatants, and scene Of great confusion
| followed. Several members called out to have
/ Bell arrested, and the seageant-at arms took
t him in charge. He was afterwards released
/ Forrest, whose neck bears witness to severe
| choking, says he rising from his chair

disadvantage, threw him down. When order

which makes ones every ncrye tinsle with vea-

engines, &C., were to be transported.
made their appearance. At length, the train Of
two Hat cars and one baggage car came to the
crossing. The latter was Immediately occu-
pied and packed to snfIocation by crowd that
had no business whatever in the car Mean
while the tedious task of running the engines
on the flats mp the steep skids by hand was ac-
complished with q will by the department. and
few willing helpful citizens. In fact, every
body seemed to be ready to give helping hand
except the railroad men and the hummer crowd
that tiied the baggage car, intended exclusive
y for the hremen, reporters, Doctor Murphy
and Aid. Grace, the chairman of the
fre department. When the train
was ready to start, an attempt was made to
clear the car of the boys and outsiders wedged
intoit. but only with very partial success.
The hose. to the length of about 1850 feet,
was unreeled from the carts and placed upon
the fats, and the carts were then dispatched to
be reloaded at their respective houses to be
ready Tor home emergienees. ali this, had taken
time, and it was not until 9:42, or G lapse of
two good hours since the engines were first
ready to embark, that the train moved out.
When the train arrived at the Mendoza juno
ton, it was met by telegram at about 1910
p n, telling it to await orders, and in ten min
utes the word came from Minneapolis that the
fire was under control and the train was ordered
back to st. Paul
At this writing, it is difficult to account for
the delay in getting away. but it certainly cans
not be placed at the door of the st. Paul fire
department. The GIoHE reporter was assured
that when a portion Of the st. Paul depart
ment was sent to Anoka, the train bear
ing the department was away within
the hour after receiving the call
for assistance. fthe engines had been taken
to the st. Paul & Pacific levec depot, they
could have been run upon the fats in ten min.
utes. and that was the point tho engines first
went to- but ordered away to be banged about
from pillar to post and from one depot to the
other to suit, apparently, the caprice of the
railroad company, while not very far from en-
hour was wasted before the cars wero presented

the bunging long enough to hare afforded

The "Globe" Extra.

The GLOBE, as usual, furnished tho people
with the first news of the great disaster at
Minneapolis. Immediately after the e1plo-
sion the GLOBE Minneapolis reporters were
busily at work on the scene. aud numerous
assistants were sent forward by train and car
riage from st. Paul, to aid in the task of writ
ing up the great calamity.
At 10P. NJ. an extra was issued from the
GLOBE Office, and until after midnight news
boys were shouting and finding ready sale for
GLOBE extras. As usual, when any exciting
event occurs the GLOBE counting room was
thronged with seekers after news, the public
naturally knowing where to look for the first
intelligence.

M1sNEAPo11s May AT Just O'Clock
this evening Minneapolis was startled by a
most frightful explosion, which shook the
city from centre to circumference. The OK
plosion took place in tho milling centre on
tho canal that extends around St. Anthony
Falls and at once the question was passed
from lip to lip, What can it be2 In an in.
slant the entire city was out of doors, and
streaming toward the falls, while it became
known that the great Washburn CA
mill had exploded and was a total
wreck The Washburn mill was the largest
mill on the American continent, and with
the exception of one in France, the largest
and most complete Of any Touring mill in
the world. 1t contained forty run of stone,
and employed regularly from forty to sixty
men.
At this writing, there is no certainty of
thu cause Of the explosion. Mill men gen
orally unite in the theory that it was oc
casioned by the igniting of the gas general
cd in some unknown manner by the mid
dlings purifiers.
The loss of life cannot be ascertained at
this moment, but was very extensive.
The explosion took place at the hour when
the day force of the mill had just been re-
lieved, and the night force was just taking
their places. It is now thought that q por-
ton of the day force and portion of the
night force have been killed, but as the mill
is total wreck, levelled to the ground, and
the Ere Of Tophet raging among the ruins,
there is no certain means of ascertaining the
particulars.
The GLOBE reporter is writing in full
view of the flames, and while write, the
wind, which is steady and strong from thu
northwest, has ignited the mill company'i
elevator, and no possible power Of the fir,
