GREAT EXPLOSION IN CANADA.
FIFTY FREIGHT CARS WRECKED.

FIFTY FREIGHT CARS WRECKED.
THIRTY PACKAGES OF DYNAMITE EXPLODE NEAR
sTRATFoRD-Two MEN KILLED OUTRIGHT.
STRATFoRD, Ont, May 5.-A few minutes before
10 o'clock, this morning, the whole town was sha-
ken as if by the shock of an earthquake. Windows
were blown in, and even sidewalks, upon which
people were walking, were shaken so as to cause
the pedestrians to fall. The cause was soon made
apparent. car laden with dynamite had exploded
at the Grand Trunk freight yard.
The wreck made by the explosion beggars descr1p-
ton. Under the dynamite car, hole several feet
in depth was scooped out by the explosion The
end of the brick freight shed and portion OF the
roof were blown down; several frame buildings
were levelled to the ground and about fifty freight
cars lying in the yard were utterly wrecked. The
business part of the town is nearly mile from the
scene of the explosion but 1t shared in the disGster
Valuable plate glass windows were broken and
many others were blown in. Two of the clerks,
Messrs Drysdae and Porter, were in the office at
the time and had narrow escape. The building
was shattered into thousand pieces, and how they
escaped unhurt is miracle. One man who was
walking towards the freight house was blown over
the fence and sustained only a few scratches.
fragment of iron, weighing over pound, was driv-
en- through window of the Crown Hotel, half o
mile from the explosion. The shock was felt in all
the surrounding towns and it was supposed to be an
earthquake.
The car upon which the explosion occurred was
freighted at Montreal for Amherst Curg and con-
taned thirty packages which were entered as
blasting powder They were shipped on account of
Mr.. Vanderbilt, to be used In blasting the Detroit
tunnel. When the explosion occurred the cars were
being shunted in the yard; The damage will exceed
S25O,000.
LIST OF CASUALTIES.
DoLAN THOMAS, of StratfOrd, blown into fragments
by the explosion. He was railroad employe, and
was work in the yard.

ADvERsARIEs-THE BILL TO BE PASSED To-
DAY.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON May 5.-Ihe introduction of the
bill perfected by the Democratic caucus on Satur-
day was the only event of general interest which
occurred in the House to-day The reading of the
bill was attentivey listened to by Republicans and
Democrats and its provisions freely discussed
in private conversation all the afternoon.
The Democrats generally express satisfaction
with the measure, and seem to think that they
have digged pit into which the Republicans will
be sure to fall. The majority has given up all hope
Of gaining any advantage by headstrong dictato-
rial course similar to that adopted at the beginning
of the session. 1t only hopes now that the Repub-
cans can be induced to assume an attitude of de-
manding that military interference with elections
shall be lawful, position which they never yet
have assumed and never will.
The Republicans were generally unwilling to ex-
press an opinion in regard to the caucus bill before
the adjournment this afternoon. They desired to
give it much more careful examination than was
possible on the simple reading of it at the Clerks
desk before passing Judgment upon it. The general
disposition seemed to be to deal with the measure
on ITS merits and not to make factiou5 opposition
to the bill If II should be found III ltsef really unoD
jectiOnabe.
Ii is understood that the Democratic programme
with regard to the new measure is TO have 1t re-
ported from the Judiciary Committee during the
morning hour Tomorrow and under q call for the
previous question to pass 1t through the House
without delay, debate or amendment lhe Com
mttee on Privileges and Elections has the floor for
the morning hOuT, but is not likely TO consume
mucb time The caucus measure, therefore, stands
q chance of being disposed of III the House to-nor-
row.

QUITE number of saplent peo-

discover signs Of rebellion. Any

him for the use OF a word Of such
formidable and ordinarily un-Re-

to rebuke him. We advise Mrs.

ing the flagrant acts of domestic
rebellion shown Of late by her
spouse. He exhibits signs of being
anxious to poke his nose outside of

Banged Hair.
IZion's Herald.l

The present excellent English
Queen is eminently sensible In her
domestic notions. Sne cannot en-.
dure the modern idiotic habit of
women wearing O long fringe of
hair across their foreheads. An
English exchange says that Her
Majesty sent special Instructions to
the bridesmaids at the late we'd
ding of her son, the Duke of Con-
naught, that they would not be
permitted to wear these hair fringes
or high heels to their boots, nor to
tie their dresses back In the present
most uncomfortable and indelicate
fashion. Victoria deserves tho
thanks of every intelligent mother
In the land. The same paper says:
Last year one lady appeared at a
drawing room with her hair over
her eyes. The next day she re-
ceived a message from the Lord
Chamberlain Informing her that
until her hair bad grown she would
not be required to attend any more
drawing rooms"

which Democrats should just now
lay to heart. After a Democratic
nomination, amidst all the blare
OF trumpets and clash of cymbals,
proceeding from the New Consti-
tuition and the Workingmen's par
ties, We should prefer a Republican.

The HERALD always preserves o
rugged consistency. Kearney has
to-day just such a respectability AZ
may be reflected by his divorce,
entered of record. which allows him
alimony and separation from the
bed and board Of the Chr onicle.
We regard Kearney as quite as big
a blackguard as he lever showed
himself in the past. There is just
one redeeming feature about the
little drayman, and that Is that he
is not quite as base as his journal
istic hackers. There are deeps and
lower deeps, and no matter how
low the De Youngs may push the

probably foreclosure sales will
cloud the ownership OF that build
ing-they will never get down, in

to which they descended as the

ing strata Of earth was revealed
from here lowell, coming out
finally at the antipodes, without
striking anything so low down,
even from a we'll standpoint, as a
journal which admitted that it
knew what Kearney really was
and which yet championed him as
the dellverer and Moses of the peo-
pie of California. Kearney was
dead from the word 90. What
shall we say of his journalistic syc-
ophant, which is now mouthing
sour grapes and finds them sour to
teeth divested of all enamel.
