Chicago wheatMarket.
CHICAGO, January 6.
There was . decided break in the wheat
market yesterday afternoon, Of about three
cents, owing TO the rumor on Change that
the Bank OF California had failed. No.
body seemed able TO say where the rumor
started, and as prices at the close were the
lowest Of the day. it is probable that some
operators had been pretty thoroughly
shaken by the story.

A Fearful Explosion.
NEWARK, N. j.. January 8.
A fearful explosion took place yesterday
afternoon in the converting room Of the
Celluloid Manufacturing Company, by
which three men were instantly killed and
two Others 30 badly burned that they can
not survive. The workmen were in their
accustomed places, when, from some un-
known cause, . mass Of celluloid, which is
. highly infiammable material, suddenly
exploded, destroying n story Of the
building, with all its contents. VIM. Fem
ter, aged 10, was one Of the killed. His
body was found in the ruins, a CHASTITY
spectacle. Under this body was the disig-
ured corpse Of Frederick Stiles, of Rus
sell, 30 charred that it was scarcely recog-
nizable. John Yates, residence unknown,
was killed; Spencer Atwood died in ten
minutes from conclusion Of the brain; FL
mer Brogart and Frederick Price, who
were fearfnlly burned. were taken to the
hospital. There is no hope OF their recov-
cry. Stephen N. Wade was seriously but
not dangerously injured. The loss on the
building and contents is estimated at $10,-
600; insured. The manager says the ex-
plosion probably occurred from gas at the
machine run by Fred. Stiles, who was
killed. TIT machine was used for mixing
and grinding the material.

firemen smashed in skylights and cut holes
in the roof, but the fire had already done
its fearful work on several victims, sur
rounded as they were by flames and cut
of from all access to safety below by the
burning stair case. Several persons sus-
tanned severe injuries by leaping from the
highest stories TO the ground. One man

and almost crushing herself to death. OF
