Body Recovered.

Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock
Capt. Wolf, of the West Wheeling ferry
boat ella, noticed, while coming from
the Ohio shore, a dead body floating in
the river. lie promptly attached line
% II and towed il 10 the West Nerginia
shore, az the wharf of the Belmont Iron
Works Company. Notice was given TO
Squire Wait, who promptly repaired to
the place, and with the aid of John j.
Cooper, his officer, caused jury OF II
to be summoned To view the body. The
deceased was apparently a'young man
about Is years OF age. Clothing, dark
gray cashmere coat, vest and pants,
SImc color aS leans; boots heavy, and of
Eastern make; shirt, white calico, with
diagonal plIldS OF blue. The contents
ot his pockets were two fish hooks
nothing by which he could be identified.
The appearance of the body indicated
that IL had been i'm the water for some
time, the face being much diScolorcd
and the hair nearly all Oft the scalp. Ii
was found floating face upward, but this
was evidently caused bv the wind or
waves, as the limbs, which We're much
drawn together, and the hands, bore the
appearance of having dragged along the
ground for some time and distance, and
were nearly worn away. From the APP
pcuraucc of the face, the deceased must
have been quite a fine looking youth.
10 Is supposed that he was one OF those
drowned recently ut Wellsburg, and
whose bodies were never recovered.
The jury had no evidence before it,
and simply brought in verdict OF death
by accidental drowning. The SenSa-
tiuuul story that a wound was found
upon the head is entirely without ioun-

Mississippi Valley Labor Convention.

VIcKsBURG, May 5.--The Mississippi
Valley Labor Convention met this AZ
ternoon at the Southern Concert Gar
den, the Opera House, which was in
tended as the place for the holdiug the
Convention, being too small. There
were fully 400 delegates present,
every county and parish on the Missis-
sippi river, between Helena, Arkansas,
and New Orleans, being represented.
The spirit Of the Convention toward
the close was most harmonious. There
seems to be a general feeling to conces-
sions from both the whites and colored. q.
The report of the Committee on Reso-
lutiOns will, it is thought, favor a red nc
ton Of the price OF rent for land, less
exorbitant prices for the necessaries OF
life, and a more general recognition OF
the rights OF the colOred man.
The sentiment among the delegates, OF
both colors, favor such resolutions.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Great Destruction of Property
Two Lives Lost.

STRATFoRD, ONT, Nav 5.-A few min
utes before 10 o'clock, this morning, the
whole town was shaken as ii by an
earthquake, windows were blown in
and sidewalks so moved that pedestrians
were thrown down. The cause was a
car laden with dynamite which exploded
at the Grand Trunk freight yard. The
wreck beggars description. Under
meath the dynamite car, a hole several
feet deep was scooped out. The end of
the brick freight shed and portion OF
the roof were blown down. Several
frame buildings were leyeled TO the
ground, and long strings OF freight cars
in the yard, numbering 200, were utter
" destroyed. The business portion OF
the town is nearly mile from
the scene of the explosion,
but it shared in the disaster.
Valuable plate glass windows were
broken and many others were blown in
the frames. All the damage done to
property is estimated at many thou
sands of dollars. Two railway employees,
Frank Lemaine, of Montreal, and Thos.
Dolan, of Stafford, were blown into
fragments. The feot of one was found
two hundred yards off. Other persons
were injured, but the extent of the dis
aster cannot be known for some time
yet
SrRATFoRD, May 5.-The car upon
which the explosion occurred was
freighted at Montreal for Amherstburg,
and contained thirty packages, which
were entered as blasting powder. They
were shipped on the account OF Wander
bilt to be used in blasting at the Detroit
tunnel. When the explosion happened
the cars were being shifted in the yard.
The damage will exceed S250,OOO. Geo.
Hawkins, car dealer, had both his eyes
put out 10y a splinter and is not expect
ed to live. Joseph Humphrey is badly
cut about the head and face, but may
recover. Alfred Lamb and Mr.. Flynn,
were bodlv iniured.
