TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
A Saloon Full Of Negroes Blown
Up and All Killed.

Up and All Killed.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo, May 24.-An ex>
plosion of fifteen barrels OF Dam
torth's fluid, stored in a cellar on
Edmunds street, this city, occurred
at 8 o'clock last night The floor
over the cellar was occupied as sa-
loon and billiard room, and was kept
by a colored man. A number of ne
oroes were in the soloon at the time,
all of whom lost their lives. The
exact number cannot be ascertained
as yet, but it is yariously estimated
at from Is to IS. Five bodies have
been recovered, all burned be-
yond recognition. It is said
one white woman was in the
place at the time of the casualty.
The building was instantly and com
pletely demolished. The inmates
were all buried in the debris, which
was completely enveloped by the hot
flame of the burning fluid. The
efforts of the fire department to sub
due the flames were of no avail.
Several thousand excited people are
now surrounding the scene of the
disaster and many women and ohil-
dren are screaming and bewailing the
loss of their husbands, fathers or
friends. The conclusion shook the
buildings several blocks around.
There were some twenty or thirty
men in the cOlOred mans saloon last
night at the time of the explosion,
and most of them escaped. The
conclusion blew the walls of the
building outward, and several who
We're blown out with the walls found
themselves in the debris, from which
they were rescued, more or less
bruised. Charles Dunlay, lar
tender, large man, weighs
ing over three hundred pounds,
came near making his escape, but
his feet were caught under portions
of fallen roof and he was burned to
death while desperately struggling
to free himself and appealing for
help. His body was pulled out after
life was extinct, in charred condi-
ton. Billy Williams was burned to
dea h :; his body was recovered.
Several others rescued within the
first moments after the explosion,
aud supposed to be dead, are living,
and, although more or less burned,
may recover. AS to the
cause of the accident there
is nothing pos tive. Just before
the explosion took place Alex. North
cot, who had a number of men and
boys in training for minstrel com>
bin .tion, came into the saloon and
procured a match for the purpose of
going down stairs to light up for a
rehearsal. The basement was divi>
ded, the front portion being used for
storage purposes for Danforths
fluid and the latter for rehearsal
room, where large crowds of colored
folks have been wont to gather
nightly. It is presumed that when
the match was struck the fluid ig-
nited, causing the explosion.

IT requires 81 votes to elect a
Senator by the New York legisIa-
ture. There are LOG Republicans in
the two houses. If 27 Republicans
refuse to go into the caucus, and
persist in voting against Conkling
and Platt, they cannot be elected
without the aid of Democratic votes.
If caucus is held it will require 81
votes to nominate. The Anti Conk-
ling men claim 81 votes. A fine
prospect for a deadlock. It is an
interesting fight.
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1881-05-25

The New York senatorial election
will engross public attention for the
next week and perhaps great deal
longer. The balloting will begin
next Tuesday, May 81. The friends
of Conkling aud Piatt are confident
that they will be reelected. On the
other hand, the Garfield or Admins
traton Republicans say they will not
go into genera caucus, and declase
they will never vote for
Conkling and Platt. Without
the aid of some of them, deithe1
of these gentlemen can be re-
elected. The prospect for a dead
lock is good, and if it comes the bal
Ioting will be prolonged for an
indefinite period. Bad blood will be
engendered and the Democrats will
gain all the benefits. Conkling is a
man of great ability, knows how to
manipulate men, and if he makes up
his mind to be elected will be hard
to defeat. His resignation was q
blunder, and will entail trouble upon
his party. Perhaps we may find
that in this case bis "vaulting ambi-
ton has overleaped ITSELF

One of the most important dis
coyeries of the age has just occur
red In the ascertainment of the fact
that electrical energy can be stored
in such q way as to be capable of
transportation and preservation,
apparently without limit of dis
tance or time. The test of this was
made by sending q box containing
Faure battery, in which million
foot-pounds Of energy had been
stored; from Paris to London. This
"box of electricityn was sent to
the laboratory of Sir William
Thomson, who. in a letter to the
zynses, completely puts at rest all
doubts as to the real Importance of
the discovery, aud relates some
Of the results of the experiment. i.
He says 1.-THE million foot-pounds 8
kept in the box during its
ssventy-two hours journey from
Paris to Glasgow was no ex-
Aggeration. One of the Faure
cells, after being discharged, was
recharged again by its own
laboratory battery, and then left
to itself absolutely undisturbed
for ten days. After that it yield
cd to use two hundred and sixty
thousand foot-pounds Cor a little
moro than quarter of q million).
This not only confirms M. Rey-
nler's measurements, on the faith
Of which your correspondence e
statements were made; it serves
further to show that the waste
Of the stored energy by time is not
great, and that for days or weeks,
at all events, 1t may not be of
practical moment" Sir William
then discusses the various uses to
which this discovery can be. put,
and shows that 1t is destined to be
utilized most speedily in the elec-
trio lighting Of houses and steam
ships, though 1t is capable of being
applied to the most various uses.
By employing the Faurs accumu-
latos twill be possible to guard
against all the accidents which the
present method of generating elec-
trlcity for illuminating purposes
are liable to. Sir William incl
dentally shows that the new pfin.
ciple may be used to great advan.
tage In surgery, for he says: IA
few days ago my colleague, Profess
sor George Buchanan, carried away
from my laboratory one of the lead
cells (weighing about eighteen
pounds) In his carriage, and by il
ignited the thick platinum wire OF q
gAlvanic ecr0seur and bloodlessly "
removed q npvoid tumor from the
tongue of young boy in about q
minute of time. The operation
would have occupied over ten min.
utes II performed by the ordinary
chain ecr0seur, as it must have
been had the Faure cell not been
available" But it is evident that
the storage of energy thus found
possible must render a hundred
matters possible which have hith.
erto been impracticable, and that
1t must solve an equal number Of
scientific problems which have
hitherto baff1ed experiment. 1t is,
in-fact, one of the very greatest die.
coveffss of the century, and 1t is a,
present absolutely impossible to
say what it may lead to.
