TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
A Steam Tugs Boiler Bursts and Kills
Four Men

A Steam Tugs Boiler Bursts and Kills
Four Men.
PHILADELPHIA March 23-Tugboat Henry
G. Pratt exploded her boiler this morning,
killing four men. George Scully, the captain,
was blown over the house-tops in Water street.
He was taken to the hospital, where he died.
The dead bodies of Bernard Mccain and
Patrick Flanagan, fremen, and a man named
Maloney have been recovered. John Lyons,
engineer, is missing and is supposed to be
drowned. Two other men are reported miss
The Henry G. Pratt had arrived at the wharf
to take out the canal boat, of which one of the
victims, Maloney, was captain. When the ex-
ploson occurred her boiler was thrown across
Delaware avenue, knocking the front out of the
building No. 1876 of that thoroughfare. Both
boiler and wheel house fell on the pavement in
front of this building. During the daytime
Delaware avenue is thronged with people and
vehicles of all kinds, and had the explosion oc-
CARED few hours later the result would have
been appalling Immediately following the
explosion flames broke out in all directions
Pier No. s, which is occupied as the passenger
and freight station of the Philadelphia and
Atlantic City Railway, took fire and was COM
wharf below, also took fire and sank, after
being we'll burned. WINDOWS were shattered
in all directions for squares distant, but the
force Of the explosion is better illustrated by
the fact that the Pratt's anchor went flying
through the air to Water and Walnut streets,
where it became entangled and remained
hanging among the telegraph wires. Three
dead bodies were found in the street,
only one of them being badly disfgured. The
engineer has been found, having had very
narrow escape. The tugs Ella and Pratt were
owned by Devinney Brothers.
The narrow guage depot, at whose wharf the
tug was lying, was about 200 feet in length by
60 feet in width, all of which was destroyed
with the exception of the front of the struc-
ture facing Delaware avenue. On the pier was
a large consignment of paper from the Way
mouth paper mills consigned to Russell &
Armstrong, large amount of lumber ready
for shipment to Atlantic City for building pur-
poses also household effects belonging to cot
tagers at the seaside, and other goods all of
which were consumed. Loss by railway COM
pany over 1000.

CRILI-PERU.
Ex.secretary Blaine on the 1mprogno

Ex-Secretary Blaine on the Imbroglio.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Post to-mor-
row will print long interview with Mr..
Blaine on the Chilli Peruvian question in
which he states the general result was precise
" what he had predicted when Mr.. Trescott's
instructions were revoked. He had said that
Peru was to be despoiled and destroyed and
that the profits of the spoilation were to be di-
vided between Chilli and English bondholders
and spectators who furnished the money and
guns and ironclads that destroyed Peru. This
fact has been made evident by the recent ac-
ton of the Chilian authorities. in asking for
bids on 900 900 tons of guano from the Peru
Wan guano beds now in the hands of Chilli, all
of which must be paid for in English money.
One-half goes to Chilli and he other half to
English bondholders; and Chill binds herself
to deposit SO per cent. of the proceeds in the
Bank of England. Mr.. TIescott was forbid
den to make any authoritative utterances as to
to the merits of the controversy between Chilli
and Peru and being thus powerless Chill and
English bondholders had it all their own way
with nobody to modest or make them afraid,
The moral influence Of. the United States ju-
ciciously exerted could have saved the autono-
nv of Peru.

TIE STAR ROUTES.
An Order Issued for Dorsey's Ar
rest.
TIE HEARING POSTPONED TILL SAT-
URpAY.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The case of the
United States against Thomas j. Brady, Ex-
Senator s. W. Dorsey, 81. M. Vail and others,
defendants in the Star route cases, were called
in the criminal court, Judge Wylie presiding,
this morning. The hearing was to be devoted
to preliminary arguments to arrange the date
of the trials and other preliminaries. None Of
the defendants were present. At the close OF
the arguments the Court said he would allow
the defense until Saturday to prepare their
peremptory. 1t would be necessary for them to
enter pleas on that day unless further reasons
should appear.
Mr. Hines counsel for John r. Miner, charg-
ed with perjury in these cases. and Mr.. Brow n,
counsel for James W. Donahue, charged with
conspiracy in the Straw bond cases, said they
could enter pleas in their case now if the prose-
cution insisted on trying some one, but it was
finally arranged that the pleas in all the cases
should be entered upon the same day as far as
possible.
Mr.. Bliss then stated that Stephen Dorsey
had not been placed under bonds, and asked
the court to compel his attendance
Col. Robert Ingersoll said this course was en-
'tirely unnecessary. The prosecution was
aware that Dorsey was in the far West and he
could promise to have him present be-
fore these cases could possibly come to trial
There was nothing in the charges against him
to cause his flight. "He is no more afraid OF
them than is hungry man of mince pie,"
earnestly remarked Col. Ingersoll.
The prosecution, however, insisted upon
Dorseys arrest, and the Court said it was their
privilege to have the order issued.
Mr.. Bliss then asked that Fred B. Lilley, a
defendant in one of the original Star route
cases, be compelled to enter plea today.
Mr.. Totten explained that Lilley had not
been informed that his presence was necessary
and he asked that his case alsogo over until
Saturday,
District Attorney Corkhil1 objected and ask
ed that Col. Totem either pledge himself to
cause Lilley's appearance or that his recogni-
ton be declared forfeited.
Mr.. Totem gave the required promise and
this case also went over.
Judge Wylie said he hoped these cases would
not last through the hot summer weather, to
which remark Mr.. Totem replied that the de-
fence would not interpose any obstacles to
speedy trial. Mr. Ingersoll, however, turning
toward the prosecuting officers said frankly
that he could not tell what course he would
pursue. 1t depended upon the developments
in the trial If he found be could make any
thing by speedy trial then he would try and
have one. If he believed it to be for the in
terest of the defence to delay them, why he
should do his best to fight them off, This can
did remark caused merriment among the coun-
sell. The Court said fortunately the question
of time rested with the defence. The hearing
was then postponed until Saturday next.

Attorney General Brewster to Vigorously
Prosecute South Carolina Parties.
WARRINGTON, March 3D. Correspondence is
made public between Attorney General Brew
ster and BALLET Sanders, Assistant q. s. Dis
trict Attorney of Charleston, S. c., on the sub
ject of election frauds in that State. In a let
ter dated March 18th, Mr. Brewster says:
II wish Mr.. Melton to be told by you that
expect that he will prosecute forthwith the
most important persons concerned in the at
tsmpts to defeat honest elections by fraudulent
OF forcible means. 1 say "highest and most
responsible people" are those whom l desire
to be first prosecuted and first pursued. There
will be no example if merely insignifcan per
sons are takon hold of. Those who stand high
in the community and have thus ventured to
violate the law and encourage others to do it,
arc the very persons to be first prosecuted, and
II connected punished in a signal way, then
things will begin to change and voters be en-
@ uraged to vote according to their convictions,
and these who do vote will feel satisfied their
votes have been duly counted and surrender
cheerfully to the honest result"
In reply to Mr.. Sanders, steps have been
taken to bring to trial the various managers of
the election, and also board county canvassers
of Sumter county who are men who count re-
turns from the different precincts OF their re-
spective counties and forward the same to the
board Of State canvassers. fr -

The improvement in the Grain market noticed for
several days past is fully maintained, and trade is
quite active. At Chicago to-day prices fell at the
opening, but during the afternoon frmer feeling
prevailed, and the decline was nearly recovered.
Flour is firmly held at quotations. Sugars are
strong without quotable change here, but at other
points prices have advanced; at New York granulat
ed was quoted at 10c The total stocks in the four
ports of raw Sugars is 80 600 tons, against $4,000
tons year ago, and $4,000 tons at the first of the
year. In Provisions, Plate and Ex Plate Beef shows
considerable strength, and quoted SOC higher.
