The BOmbshell Explosion.

Baltimore Special to the Chicago Times.
The shore of Patapsco river, a short
distance west of Fort McHenry, was
this afternoon the scene of a terrible
accident. resulting in the death Of six
men and the wounding of two others.
The report was heard even on East
Baltimore street and grapeshot fell in
showers on the car tracks. Five or six
men were at work breaking up old
bombshells.Iwhen one of them exploded.
Exactly how the accident occurred no
one of the men who were directly
around the shell were left to tell. The
first intimation that any one had of it
was when several men who were work
ing near by. hearing the explosion re-
paired to the scene. On their way
they met a horse drawing a wagon
which had been used 10 convey the
broken iron. The wagon was in flames
and the horse was going at gallop.
The fire in the vehicle was exiting dish-
ed and the men continuing on their
way to the scene of the explosion, were

Petersburg (va.) Appeal.

The allusion in recent letter of your
Louisa correspondent to the old revou-
tionary giant-hero, Peter francisco, re-
wives many traditions and "reminiscences
of the wonderful performances and
daring deeds of that extraordinary
man. My father, recently deceased at
the advanced age of 80, we'll re-
membered him, having frequently
seen him in his native county of Buck
ingham, and related many anecdotes of
his stirring and perilous adventures
and hair-breadth escapes as he heard
the recital fall from the lips OF the giant
himself. He described him as six feet
one inch in hight, his weight two hun
dred and sixty pounds, his complexion
dark and swarthy, features bold and
manly, and his hands and feet uncom-
monty large, his thumbs being as large
az an ordinary mans wrists. Such was
his personal strength that he could east
y shoulder cannon weighing ] 100
ponnds, and he had seen him take q
man IN his right hand. pass over the
floor and dance his head against the
ceiling with as much ease as If he had
been doll-baby. The mans weight
was 1875 pounds. Partaking of the pat
riotic enthusiasm of the times, be en-
tered the American revolutionary
army at the age of 16. He was present
at the storming of Stony Point, and
was the first soldier, after Maj. Gibbon,
who entered the fortress, on which oc-
casion he received a bayonet wound in
the thigh. He was at Brandywine,
Monmouth, and other battles at the
north, and wss transferred to the south
under Gen. Greene, where he was en-
gagged in the actions Of the Cowpens,
Camden, Guilford, Court House, etc.
He was SO brave and possessed such
confidence in his proves that he was
ositively fearless. He used sword

Now the puzzle of fifteen is trying

Pretty Girls i'm q Wine Vat.


a resident of Italy vouches for the
following: In the vineyards near us
the girls mount ladders and clip the
rich punches, dropping them into the
baskets. With industrious workers one
day is enough to clear an average Vine
yard. When the grapes are all gather.
ed in they are carefully picked from
the stems for the pressing. This last
process is the same primitive, simple
operation that was performed by the
patriarch Noah. The grapes are thrown
into an enormous vat, where the Juice
is tramped out of them by the bare feet.
At this stage of the vintage you may
see hundreds of young ladies of the
City of Perueia coming forth in groups
IN the mornin, beanling with pleasant
and excitement.
Your ordinary tourist, whose only in
tellectual and instructive pabulum il,
gathered from the guide books, has not
the remotest conception of their object.
He may think they are out for an early
constitutional. But early constitution
ais are not the rage with Italian ladies.
Shall | tell you the secret of all that
mystery and excitement They are off
to the country to tread In the wine
presses. 1t is novel holiday for them,
besides being most salutary exercise.
Even prim old dowagers are known to
"wade in" and Danish the rheumatism
by half days exercise in the wine
press. Apart from the healthful exer-
else of tramping, the new mash acts as
a bath to the limbs. while the uprising
fumes are considered eminently stom-
| achic. After the treading performance
these ladies wash themselves in hot
wine, taking the moderate decoction in
ternally for the stomach's sake. The
effect is pleasant and rejuvenating, and
is especially noticeable in the vim with
which they participate In the dance,
which is the usual sequel to treading in
the wine press.
THE water power of Genesee Falls is
to be utilized for mechanical purposes
in Rochester. The plan is the same
proposed at Niagara, whence the power
was to be conveyed to Buffalo in pipes
in the form of condensed air; but ii
was found that, owing to the distance
the cost would reach 81 900, 900, and SO
Rochester was chosen for less expens
i've test. The water is made TO fall al
intervals into perpendicular pipes, in
the bottom of which its weight con.
denses a quantity of air. The expect
alton Is that steam power will be entire
ly dispensed with in that city, except
on railroads, and that electricity will be
so cheaply generated as to displace gas
