ZANEsvrLLE, Ono. September L.
Nelson Stein and family, residing on a
farm near Roseyille, this county, being
desirous to make visit and having o
lot Of little chickens and some house-
Hold pets to care for, arranged With
Miss Alice Crooks, near neighbor and
very respectable young lady, eighteen
years of age, to visit the Stein resident
Tor the purpose Of feeding their chick
ems. d.. during their absence. On Satnt
day evening Miss Crooks went to Nj.
STEMS Tor that purpose, and after at
tending to such duties as were necessary
she went to the cellar for the purpose oi
getting some fruit Mrs stein had told
her to take home, and while IN the act
Of picking up the jar containing the
fruit was struck with club over the
head by an unseen assassin, knocking
her rinsensible, in which condition she
lay several hours. On her recovery she
found her hair had been cut from hel
head, dress torn from her person, her
hands badly cut as with knife, ard a
piece Of her dress tied about her month
and eyes.
As soon as Miss Crooks was able to
walk she went to her home, about half o
mile distant, and told her parents all
she knew concerning the affair. The
news spread very rapidly. and the neigh
bors became very much excited. Sus-
picion rests on a young man, who. it is
thought, knew of the arrangement made
between Mrs. Stein and Miss Crooks
and, in fact, it is so strong that his ar
rest will probahly take place tomorrow
Miss Crooks is very much prostrated
from mental excitement more than bod
lily injuries. 1t is not thought any out
rage was committed on the person OF
Miss Crooks, but the iutention of the
assassin was to commit murder. i

NITRO.GLYCERINE.
It's Terrible Effects in the Oil Re.
giOn.
Two Men and Two Horses Blown to
Atoms and Thei' Bodies Mu6iia-
ted Beyond Recognition.

BRADFORD, Penn, Sept. 2.-About
one O'Clock this morning the citizens re-
siding in the vicinity OF Red Rock and
Bell Camptown, on the Olean, Bradford
and Warren Railroad, about six miles
from this city, were aroused by noise
resembling thunder, followed by a shock
like that of violent earthquake The
peculiarilies were Immediately recogni-
zed to be those Of an explosion OF nitro
glycerine, and scores Of people were at
,racted to the scene Of the catastrophe.
1t was then learned for the first time
that two human beings had probably
been blown to atoms, but in the dark
ness nothing could be found save few
remains of buggy and two horses.
At early dayligh the vicinity of the
disaster was ,hronged by large crowd
of people. Upon the surrounding trees.
fences and scattered everywhere on the
ground were found clots Of blood, frag-
ments Of human flesh, pieces of skin
and other evidences that told only too
| plainly OF the terrible destruction Of hu-
man lifp.., The accident occurred at a
locality known as Ham Hollow, pro
| life section Of the Bradford oil field,
one and a half miles from Bell Camp
Station. There were two men killed,
Lewis Gay, aged twenty-seven, and
Charles c Jones, aged twenty-one, both
living in Bradford
GRAY, who was in the employ Of the
King Torpedo Company, had procured
two pounds Of nitro-glyceripe and was
driving with it to we'll which he was
about to torpedo on the Neal d Baum
tract. Shortly before resching there he
awakened Jones at q neighboriug well
and the two rode together the resi- ofthe
way. Arriving at the weR, it is supposed
that Gray in lifting one of the three
cans in which the explosive was carried
from the buggy, in some way lost his
hold and the terrible stuff tell to tbs
ground, exploding on the instant the
other cans. -.
George Weaver, a driller, who was
standing at the we'll two hundred fee
distant, saw the men driving up the bill
and almost immediately felt the force o
the explosion coming He laid dowr
! fat upon the ground and barely escaped
with his life, fragments of stones an(
other substances passing over him. O
GRAY there was not vestige left tha
could be identified as belonging to /,
man, being scattered on the hillside fo
many rods in all directions. Jones wa
not quite SO badly demolished Hi
head was torn entirely from the trunk
and the body itself vas a shapeless mas,
of mutilation. One of the legs wa
blown off and both arms were reduced
to shfeds.il5 ,ggbsBits~ ao sn5a8Ta I.
Both of the horses were reduced tt
fragments, and the only parts of tbs
buggy that we're left we're the iron axle.
and one tire. A large hole several fee,
