LONDON, Sept 25.--The explosion at
Woolwich was caused by fire in the main
building. which included the laboratory
The building was destroy oyed within half
an hour after the fire broke out 1t con-
tanned an immense number of war rockets
which were filled with destructive missiles.
The latter flew in all directions, many
being projected 10 and falling upon the
other side of the Thames. The explosives
caused fearful destruction of property
throughout the town and in the surround,
ing district. The fire was extinguished at
noon, when the rockets ceased their ex-
plosions Old soldiers declare that the
explosions of the rockets during the fire
were as frightfnl as if occurring in an
actual siege. Two bodies of victims of
the explosion have been found. Some of
the war rockets projected distance of
five miles. One of them went through
the wall of the arsenal and another struck
the artillery barracks.
Rockets fell in Firth, Elsham, Charlton
and Ilford. One of them plunged into a
school for infants at Plumpstead; another
entered the Diapers shop in Woolwich,
and still another wrecked a grocery store.
There was the widest panic at Woolwich,
but no loss of life, with the exception OF
the two persons mentioned, who were
employed in the arsenal The first reports
of fatalities were exaggerated. The
principal damage is confined to the rocket
factory, which will involve a loss OF

The BULL DOGS DREAM

Dreams are the strangest things in life
And Bull Dog, just the same as you,
Dreams many strange and curious things.
Which at the time seem real and true
/ dreamed saw a crowd of men,
Who worked the ''Western Union wires,
Call on Jay Gould for higher pay
And plainly told him their desires
heard Jay Gould say: Boys. you're right
I'll show your service esteem
By increased pay to meet your needs"
1 woke to fnd-'twas but dream
For when the fancy's free to roam,
Ones thoughts are oft times wild and strange
For most Of things seem real and true
That come within the fancy's range;
But never yet has it been known,
That chewers ever dreamt or thought
That Bull Dogs not the choicest chew
Was ever by chewer bought;
For he who tries it is convinced
No shadow of Il doubt can dwell
Its taste and chew its merits show,
Far better.than my words can tell
And fancy can not roam so far
As once to intimate it's true,
That any other chew that's made
Is equal to that royal chew

the sum OF $500 to aid in building the
bridge. which will be great benefit to the

ST. Louis MAY IA special session OF
the Choctaw Indian Council was held at

nation, yesterday, having been called by
the principal chief, McCuslin. to consider
the freedman question.
BY the treaty Of 1866 between the Fede-
raj Government and the Confederated In
dams the Choctaws and ChickaSaws agreed
to emancipate and give the usual rights
to colorcd people in their nation within
two years, for which the United States was
to give them $500, 900; and if they failed
to adopt them in that time, the money was
TO be used to remove and settle them else
where. The ChOctaws failed 10 adopt
them and the Government did not move
them. and they have been there ever since,
without either citizenship rights or a title
to the land they work. The Choctaws now
desire to adopt them, and for this purpose
the Council was called.
