BLOWN TO ATOMS.
A Terrific Explosion Of . Nltro-0lycei
magazine Near Allentown.

Terrific Explosion OF . Nltr0-0lycerino
magazine Near Allentown.
The Cold Spring chemical works, on the
Lehigh mountain, about four miles south
of Allentown city, was the scene at 12
o'clock yesterday, Of terrific explosion.
One man was blown into atoms. The
city was shaken and window panes within
circle of half mile of the explosion were
shattered and numbers of doors In the
vicinity were forced open and the locks
broken. The building that exploded was
the nitro-glycerine magazine, q small
frame concern resting on solid rock. A
big hOlo in the ground filled with bits of
stone, the remnants of the rock on which
the magazine stood, attest the force of the
explosion. Four men were at the works
at the time of the disaster. Three were
in the drying-room eating dinner; the
and chemist, Fl. C.
Weloh, aged forty five years, had gone
with pail into the magazine to tap
pailful of oil to mix with other material.
The magazine contained two forty gallon
barrels Of fnitro-glyoerine. Just as ono of
the others was about to 60 to Mr. Welch's
assistance the explosion occurred.
The shock was terrible. Not . vestige
Of the magazine was left. The workmen
and the people who hurried to the spot
for Welch, of whom nothing has
been found but few small shreds of
clothing and small piece of skin. Not
that the search was kept up
until dark, not bone or limb of the un-
fortunate man has been found. The mix.
ing and packing houses were demolished.
The damages amount to about $500. The
cause of tho explosion is not known.
Great preoaution was exercised in handling
the materials. A few days ago the zinc
spigot of ono Of the barrels holding the |
barrels holding tho oil became clogged
md Welch inserted q nail to open a pas
age, when . slight explosion occurred. |
Some think he may have repeated this |
,peration. Welch- was engaged in the |
,itro -glyoerine making business all his
life. When his wife heard the report she
an to tho works and when told of her
husbands fate she went into mysteries.
The same works exploded last May, with
J terrific effect, out no lives were lost. ]

TUE STORM TIE WEST.
Chicago lsOlat cd From tho WOrid-SwItc

Chicago Isolated From tho WOrid-Sw1tch-
boards Sot on Fire.
Iu Chicago officials of the Western
Union telegraph company say the electric
disturbance in this country yesterday was
the most pronounced and wide spread ex-
perionced for years, if indeed it has been
paralleled in some respects at any time.
An electric storm of the greatest violence
ragged in all the territory from New York
City north to the terminus of telegraphic
communication; practically putting a stop
to the telegraph service over the entire
area. It began to be felt about i O'Clock
and increased in intensity till 9:45, when
communication from every direction was
cut of. The storm seemed to 90 In sue
cessive negative and positive waves, alter
nately neutralizing the currents or in
creasing their intensity to such degree
as to burn rytling up. The switch
board was ON fire q dozen times during
the morning, and half dozen keys of in
struments were melted. The duplex and
quadruplex systems were rendered en-
tirely useless, and at noon but ono out Of
fifteen wires between Chicago and New
York was in operation and it was fre.
quently interrupted.
Word was received from Milwaukee
that the atmospheric electricity on one of
the county wires had such power as to
suffice to keep an electric lamp burning.
All business at the Office was ac-
cepted subject to delay. Even the as
sOciated press reports were unavoidable
delayed and up to one o'clock less than
five hundred words had been transmitted.
At Indianapolis tho electric disturbances
began at eirht o'clock Thev wara s,,ch
as to charge the wires, and the batteries
were removed. At times they presented
change of polarity in brief period. The
use of the quadruplex system had to be
abandoned for time and a metallic cir
cult was found to work without the dis
turbance of current reverSals.
The electric storm at noon almost sus-
pended operations in the Western Union
Office at Nashville. At intervals the
wires were worked solely by the auroral
current. The needle In the galvonometer
oscillated in most eccentric manner,
varying as much as eighty degrees. Expe.
rienced operators say it was the most
remarkable electric storm for many years.
In Cincinnati the electric storm began
to be observed on the Eastern wires at 8
a. m. Its effect gradually increased until
at lO:5O was completely surrounded.
The storm reached southeast as
far as Augusta, Ky. Wires were worked
to Columbus and st. Louis without bat |
terry at the Cincinnati end. The wires
were very heavily charged, flame appear.
ing when contact was broken.
Fully two-thirds of the sky was ablaze
last night with auroral light Of many
rare phenomenon in Chicago.

The INTELLIGENCEE did not say that
the purpose of the attempt to secure the
speakership for Mr.. Faunce was a dis
creditable huckstering of the minor Off
ces, but that the means by which
Mr.. Faunce and his friends sought
to accomplish his election might
engender this tendency; and had
the conference of the Philadel-
phia delegation "been tied with the
proposed pledges, there would have been
at once begun huckstering with country

Mn. W. S. GILBERT writes that it is
