Powder Magazine Explosion

SAN Francisco, July 1O,-A Bodie dispatch
says; A terrible explosion Of powder mag
azlne, near the old Standard machine works,
has blown to atoms everything in TINT vicin-
lty. The Summit Works, a short distance
of, were shattered to pieces. Many men
were killed, the number not being known at
this writing. About 20 wounded men have
been found thus far. 1t is not known how
many, If any, have been injured in the shaft
and underground works. The top of the
shaft i'll the old incline is now on fire but
can surely be put out. The hills are black
with people. The fire department is doing
good work. James Hickey, foreman of the
mine, is slightly hurt. AT this time no esti-
mate can be made of the number killed or
wounded.
As far as ~ be learned at present, the
following are killed: Frank Fyle, Thomas
Flaherty, William O'Brien and several
others whose names have not yet been OBJ
taine6. Probably many were blown into the
air and their remains scattered broadcast.
Everything is being done that kind hearts
and willing hands can do. The Miners

Rag Carpets,

In nine cases out OF ten, one who
lacks energy to make rag carpet will
not have the means to buy store carpet
even at so cents per yard, when it must
be cash in hand; and then, if purchased,
it is poor thing, and will not, with the
best of care, endure the wear of every
day use for one season. But even that
would pay by giving the house more
habitable appearance, for a house with
bare floors, though it be ever so well fur
nished otherwise, looks naked and barn
like. But rag carpet pays better in
an ordinary farm house, because it wears
better and is better adapted to the Cir
cumstances of the family, and CORE
spends with the usually plain furniture.
1t pays by subduing the noise caused
by the tramp of boots, the moving of
chairs, the rattling of dishes, and in
softening the tones Of voices. Indeed a
rag carpet has a softening aad refining
influence upon every member of the
family. Even those rough boys forbear
to scuffie in the house, because it will in
jure the carpet that mother worked so
hard to make, and they hate to see the
pleasant room grow shabby. Boys, as
well as girls, like to have their hone
look CHEEKY and stylish" and thus the
rag carpet wears much longer than the
matron imagined it would

The Laborers' Strike.
The difficulties arising from the strike on
the long wharf at Oakland are assuming a
serious aspect. This morning the foreman
of under contractor Strowbridge carried over
fifteen Italians to take the place of fifteen of
the strikers who were unloading O dirt

50 day. When the gang reached the end
of the long wharf five refused to go any fur.

when force of men numbering about 200

them to leave, presuming that they were

between the strikers and the foreman, the
latter arming himself with stones and the
strikers throwing him into trestle. Po.
liceman Wallace drew his revolver and
ordered the crowd to disperse. This had
the desired effect. A few random stones
were thrown at the Italians, who beat re-
