Peculfar Phenomena.

A peculiar feature connected with the cx-
plosion was the reverheration. As stated in
our report of yesterday morning, policemen
and others on the streets in the lower portion
OF the city at the time, heard no report, but
all felt sharp concussion of the air, which
was followed Immediately by the bright H.
Elimination of the burning oil. On the high
ground in the upper portion of the city a
tremor of the earth was felt, causingsthe win
dows to rattle, as from an earthquake shock,
while in Minneapolis, at least
eight miles away by the river, the
report of the explosion was distinctly heard,
causing the impression the powder magazine
at Fort Smelling had exploded. The only ex-
PLANTATION for this is found in the location of
the builiing-a sort of pocket in the bluffs
on the west side of the river, with an abrupt
wall OF bluff squarely fronting the direct river
channel, between the bluffs on each side Of
which the report was driven until it found es-
cape by the level plateau upon which Mime
apolis is located.

which arises from lnhallnS tne luines Vi on0
mash.
The effect, however, is only visible on those
who are unaccustomed to breathing the fumes
the mash, and is said to have no effect on
those who are used to 1t.
In order that the reader may appreciate the
eItsnt of the disaster some description OF the
building and contents is necessary. The
building was three stories high and OF stone
and was completed last fall at an expense of
$50, 900. Up to the second story the walls were
three feet thick, the third story being two feet.
The machinery has only been completed
short time and was put in working order about
q month ago, when the mill first commenced
to operate. It consisted of ten iron pcrcola'
tors 7x16 feet in size, three benzine or naphtha
tanks 6x1o feet in size, and three linseed Oil
tanks 8xs feet in size.
The stock and machinery was valued at
something over 81, 900, all of which Is OF course
a wreck. The engine and boiler room, little
to the south of the mill, was one story high
and 40x40 feet in dimensions. The engine
room, which adjoined the mill, was partially
destroyed, but 1t is thought that the machln-
cry was not seriously damaged.
The boiler room, separated from the engine
room by thin partition, was left Intact.
To the north of the mill about thirty feet
was situated frame warehouse, the windows
and doors of which were completely shat
tered.
Standing on the track parallel with the
mill and two feet from the building were two
box-cars loaded with meal; both cars and con-
tents were wrecked By the shower of stone
and brick.

LegiSlatioe for Pensions.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Senator Bar's bill
in the Senate providing for a temporary in
crease of the facilities for examination and ad-
judication of pension claims retains most of
tie provisions of the 60-surgeon bill excluded
on the point of order. The bill also provides
examiners and surgeons for Congressional
districts shall set in different
parts of the districts : to suit
the convenience of claimants and where
through sickness, disability, poverty or other
good cause the claimant or any witness is un-
able to attend before the examiner and sua-
geon, they shall visit the claimant or witness
at the expense of the United States. 1t is also
provided, with view to allowing compensa-
ton for service to claimants, that nothing in
the bill shall be construed as denial of the
right of claimant to pay for
assistance received in the prosecution
of his claim, provided payment is within
limitations of existing law 1t further pro-
vides no pension allowed shall be withheld ex-
cept in cases where, in the judgment of the
commissioner of pensions, the information is
conclusive the pension was obtained through
fraud. The right of appeal is provided for and
a reasonable allowance, if successful.

question of the propriety or Improperly
Of using the surplus funds arising from
his lecture in Lanesboro, for the building
of a church. Tickets were sold and
bought with the understanding that after
paying the lecturer s1OO, the surplus
would be devoted to building church.
The "poet" says, he did not agree to
come for only 500, but says he was to
be guaranteed that amount There were
$3.50 taken in, and he pocketed the entire
amount, to the great disgust of the Lanes
borians, saying, che does not intend peo-
pie should make business (profit) out of
his lectures" and that 'he will help a
church when he wishes to, but will not
be compelled to do so." The Journal
significantly and sharply remarks: "It
will not do to trust even genius, next
time, without written contract!'

The Engsneer,s Storm.


With debris scattered In all directions, doors
and windows shattered to atoms, it seems
strange that human being within few feet
of the doomed building should escape without
a scratch or the singing Of hair. Such it is
to be born lucky, and in this instance the for
tunate man is Andrew Lundberg, the night
engineer of the oil works.
His escape from horrid and frightful fate
is almost miraculous. He was sought out by
the reporter last evening and related an inter-
esting story, which runs as follows:
l was the night engineer Of the Oil mill; the
explosion occurred about half-past o'clock
this morning; at the time of the
shock l was in the center of the

In response to inquiries Lundberg stated
that he had visited the mill about 1880
o'clock; he found Muey and Petri on the Sec
ond floor; the former was lying on the table
asleep. He (Lundberg) asked Petri to come
down and help him get in some wood; the lat
ter stated that he would as soon as he awoke
Muey.
RLundberg then returned TO the engine room.
About 3:l0 O'Clock in the morning, ten min
utes before the accident took place, Petri
came into the engine room and looked at the
superheater; all seemed to be right and he re-
turned to the mill. Lundberg states that at
that shour the fireman was still sleeping.
After leaving the engine room, Petri had
scarce tune to reach the mill before the acci-
dent took place

Mail RObbery.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1o.-some days ago govern.
ment detectives discovered that thefts OF mail
matter were being committed on the mail cars
between Rochester and here on the L. s. road
trains. and several arrests were made. Last
night the police made what they consider tho
most important arrest for five years in the per-
son of John P. Lest, young man of good
appearance. who has been assistant welgher
at tho restofice. On his person were found
documents and money to large amount, and
under his lead the officers discovered In a
house of ill-fame on the South side large ad-
ditional amount of valuables, some OF them in
their original envelopes. The total amount
recovered is from $4,000 to $4,000. His
method was to cut slit in the mail pouch
and abstract letters. His arrest was not made
till midnight, and the officials, both OF the
city and postoffice, obstinately refused, for
some unknown reason, to give any informa,
ton about him. These facts are obtained
from sources outside, but are reliable. When
captured he attempted to bluff the officers, but
was taken to station, and when the examlna-
tion revealed his guilt he made full con-
fession. He is recognized as an old crook.

DETROIT, Feb. 10.-Under order of the gov
ernor new inquiry has been begun here con-
cerning the fire which occurred at Audubon
the 1st inst, by which the wife and two
children of Tobias Ochsner were burned to
death in his house, while Ochsner saved his
best suit of clothes, the servant girl, Annie
Stachelhouse, and her trunk. A coroner's
Jury found that Mrs. Ochsner and children came
to their death by the explosion or upsetting
of lamp at the head of their bed The
present examination is upon the arrest of
Ochsner and Annie, on suspicion that the fire
and loss of life was not wholly accidental.
The examination commenced about o'clock
this afternoon before Justice W. W. Rossman
and Associate Justice N. Bemis, of Lake Park.
County Attorney o. L. Larson, assisted by s..
B. Pinney, Of Fargo, for the State,
and Walter Drew, of Audubon, for
the defense All witnesses were made to leave
the room, and Olof Larson was the first wit
ness called, and, though his testimony lasted
all the afternoon, it was substantially the same
as he gave before the coroner's jury. No new
evidence Of any particular interest was given.

through fifteen feet of earth, composing the
roof, and carrying death and destruction az
around About twenty men were IN the
