 NEWARK, Jan. "A terrible explosion oc- cured in the vitriol department of Balbach & Sons smelting works on the Passaic river, in the southeastern extremity of this city, about 12:30 this morning. The shock was felt several miles. Two eight-herse boilers exploded from some trnkhowti cause, instant ly killing the engineer ahd three workmen and seriously injuring two others: Three buildings and about $7,ooO worth of ma chinery were destroyed, one end of the house of E. Balbach, near the works, was wrecked and fragment of the boiler and bricks landed in his room, but he was unin- jured His conservatory and private stable were also destroyed, and two valuable horses were killed. B. Balbach, jr. s, house, some distance off, was injured by flying bricks, one striking woman who lodged in the third story, somewhat injuring her. The killed men whose bodies were buried in the debris were John Mutz, engineer, body horribly mangled, roasted and scalded, skull fractured and legs broken; John Schlee, workman, head crushed and features destroyed; George O.

Hale Secures the SenatOrship-Plaisted s
 Plurality Conceded Without Dispute.
 PORTLAND, Jan. 7.-The withdrawal of Mir. Frye from the contest for United States Sen ator insures the seat to MT. Hale, who, it is universally conceded, will receive the com pliment of unanimous vote tonight in cau- GUS. Yesterdays figures as present ed by the committee are correct except in one particu- lar, and that is the returns from Vassalboro, which give 270 votes for Hiram Plaisted, but which the committee inadvertently checked for Harris M. Plaisted. The Town Clerks signature was lacking, however, in conse- quence of which the returns cannot be re- garded as authenticated. The record is known to have the name of Harris M. Plais- ted and therefore gives Mir. Plaisted a plu- rality. The committee will report plurality of votes for Plaisted, as has been the custom for twenty-five years past. Several members of the committee doubt whether the constitu- tional amendment applies to this election, but 1t is believed all will agree that it is a ques- ton for the Senate or House to decide, not the committee. Should the question be raised, as is urged by some thirty Republi- cans, it is still very safe to say that it will
 1eeG "lbn the strongest oppoSltlon 1n the House, as the most influential and ablest members of both houses express their deter imitation to vote it down, and this is the opin- ion of the best informed. It may be regard ed as settled therefore that General Plaisted has plurality and that the Legislature will declare him Governor The General has re- mained quietly at home since the: opening of the session and his behavior is highly com mended by both parties He is represented at the capital by his nephew, Thomas M Plaisted, representative last winter from Lin coin. General Plaisted has nearly completed his inaugural address, which will be about five columns in length.

 Money has come into the treasury little more freely of late but not in such measures as to relieve the committee of anxiety to enable them to carry forward the work of the society to the best advantage. The soci- ety's work is becoming better understood and seems to be universally commended. But con- tributions do not increase as the case de- mands. The committee earnestly appeal to every Protestant church in Connecticut, every such church will ultimately derive ben eft from our work, to lend helping hand in its prosecution. They would call on every Sabbath school to aid in locating the ten thousand children not in Sunday school, who judging from the past, are yet to be found in the State before it is fully explored, and in putting them under Sunday school instruc- tion. Are they not as precious and as hope full for Christian effort as those in Nebraska or China? And while we labor to convert the world shall we not save our own State from heathenism?
 The committee find occasion again to re- mind the public that they derive no aid from the large resources of the American Bible society. We purchase books of them on pre- cisely the same terms as private booksellers Our resource is in the contributions of the church. By order of the committee.

skirmishing in Parliament-A Bold
 Speech by ParneII-Ofering a Choice
 Between Open Organization and Secret
 Conspiracy-The Government Resolved
 to Break up BOycOtting.
 LONDON, Jan. 7.-In the House of Com mons this evening after a preliminary skirmish by the Home Rulers lasting over an hour respecting the prohibitions of land meetings, which MT. Foster justified, MT. Parneu moved an amendment to the reply to the Queens address and spoke one hour He urged that the Land League agitation was similar to O'Connell's tithe agita- tion except that the people now were thoroughly organized. He produced elabo- rate statistics proving that Ireland to-day was immeasurably more peaceful than in 1831 He warned the government that the only result of coercion would be in- creased outrages, that the disarming of the people would be useless, as blunderbuss was never wanting when required to shoot land lord. He offered the government the choice between open organization or secret con- spiracy. Numerous minor members con- tinued the debate, after which MT. Forster replied, denouncing the Land League and it's leaders with much warmth, which provoked several angry scenes. At the close of MT. Forster's remarks the debate was adjourned. The rules of the House compelled the post ponement of the coercion bill.
 The government has decided to make de- termined effort to suppress 'FBoycotting," and numerous prosecutions will be made to this end.
 The Home Rulers have completed their ar rangements for systematic obstruction of the coercion bill.
 A despatch from Dublin to the TGmes says: The prosecution of the indicted Land Leaguers and the prospect of oppressive measures in Parliament have not any quieting effect upon the lawless classes in the west of Ireland A bailiff and his wife and the wife and son of tenant were recently seriously assaulted at Ballinamore, county Leitrim, by parties of armed men.

Towards the close of the market, however, there increased activity. and the market recovering to figures advancing < to 274 per cent. from the lowest prices of the day. The most marked advance was in Western Union, Della ware and Hudson, Hannibal and St. Joseph, Union Pacifc New York Central Erie and New Jersey Gen. tral. The upward movement in Central Pacific stimulated by reports of the large traffic and the reg ular semi-annual dividend. Western Union had heavy buyers at advancing prices.
