President Garneld's VIII.

WARRINGTON, Sept. s0.--In the early
signed a will which leaves all of his proper
ty to his widow. On the same day. finding
that he could write so we'll, he insisted on
writing letter to his mother, which he
did. This letter found its way into the
newspapers few days afterward. From
the same source it is learned that Gen.
Garfield owned real estate amounting to
about $2j 900. This estimate includes the
house be occupied in this city as private
residence during the last eight years he
was in the House OF Representatives.
Gen. Garfield had his life insured for
1886, 900 in two companies in this city. He
took out policy of $4,000 in the Equita-
BILE Assurance Society soon after his nomi-
nation to the presidency. The premium
fell due and was paid while he was at Long
Branch in June, few days before he was
shot. The society sent its check to its
agent in Philadelphia yesterday, with in-
structons to pay the amount of the policy
to Mrs. Garfield at once. In May last
Gen. Garfield was insured for $4,000 in
the New York Life Insurance Company.
The policy was written out in the White
House.
When he entered Williams College in
1854 Gen. Garfield insured his life for
$500 in the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of this city. He used this policy as
security for loan of $500. He repaid the
loan after graduation with money earned
in teaching school.

A Terrific Explosion.

On Saturday last car load of gunpow
der, billed as common blasting powder,
reached Council Bluffs, Ia, over the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific, on it's way
to Denver, Col. The Union Pacific Com
pany, however, refused to receive the dan
gerous freight, and the car was returned
to the Rock Island yards, where from some
cause it exploded with terrific force on
Monday evening. The concussion demol-
ished the company's round-house and re-
pair shops, of brick, and freight houses of
frame, besides forty or fifty freight cars,
and dug hole in the ground fifteen feet
deep and forty-five feet in diameter. Large
windows in all parts Of the city were shat
tered to pieces, and others were even bro
ken by concussion in Omaha, ON the
opposite side of the river, and as far as
Mo. Valley Junction, twenty miles north.
The loss will foot up several hundred
thousand dollars. Richard Van Haneven
and his daughter Nellie were seriously
injured by the force of the explosion, but
as far as known this morning, no fatalities
occurred. Several persons, however, are
reported missing.

Thrilling Scene.

DETROIT, September z7.-The transfer
boat of the Canada Southern railroad,
carrying the train due here at l O'Clock
this morning, was run with such force
against the dock at the island as to cause
the forward sleeper to run off the end of
the boat and plunge into the water. The
forward trucks of passenger car also went
over the end of the boat and the car hung
at an angle of forty-fve degrees, one end
just touching the water. AS the boat
backed from the slip the sleeper rose and
turned over on its side, and the passengers
inside, out of the water, tried to break
through the windows. Some of those in
the passenger car clambered out of the
window and fell into the water. The pas
sengers and train men clambered on top of
the coach that was floating in the water
and broke open the windows and pulled
out the dripping occupants. The darkness
of the night the confusion and the fact
that nearly all the passengers were stran-
gers to each other make it possible that all
were rescued, but il leaves painful uncer
tainty as to whether there is not several
persons drowned. Six passengers went
down with the car but were rescued with
the exception of man named Bloom who
occupied section eleven. A careful search
of him was made but he had not been found
at last accounts.
