TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Five Men Blown TO Atoms by an Expio
sion of Dynamite.
Trees UprOOted, Houses Shattered and
Telegraph Poles Frustrated.

CONFLUENCE, Pa, October pa terri
bic disaster occurred near Brooks tunnel,
ON the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, yes
terday morning about o'clock, resulting
in the killing of five men. The railroad
company have been strengthening and
widening the tunnel, and at some distance
a magazine had been erected in which was
stored 1900 pounds of dynamite, to be
used for blasting. About the hour named
the freight train had just passed through
the tunnel and was side-tracked to allow
the passenger train, overdue, TO pass. Four
of the crew walked back to the vicinity
of the magazine and were engaged Tin
conversation with the watchman, when
the people living in the vicinity were
startled by terrible conclusion.
Houses for fifteen miles around were
shaken to the foundation, and windows
at a distance of seven miles were
shattered. The horror-stricken people ran
from their houses, and, upon investiga-
ton, it was found that the dynamite had
exploded with fearful effect. Everything
in the vicinity gave evidence of the ter
rife force sof the explosion. Trees were
uprooted, huge rocks torn asunder and the
telegraph poles for half mile prostrated.
Nothing remained of the magazine, while
the five men who were present were miss
ing. 1t is thought they have all been
killed. Portions of bodies, legs, arms,
hands and heads have been picked up
half mile distant, but were so disfgured
as to be unrecognizable. The names of
only three of the victims are known-En-
gineer George Reynolds, Brakeman Tice
and Watchman Hammond. The cause of
the explosion is enshrouded in mys-
terry, and as the five men who
might have thrown some light on the
affair are dead, it is quite probable that it
will never be known. Not far from the
accident a gun was found, and it is sup
posed that one of the victims discharged
it, the concussion causing the dynamite to
explode. An inquest was held by the
coroner to-day, and verdict of accidental
death rendered. Great excitement pre-
walls here, and hundreds have gone to the
scene of the disaster.

NEGROES IN ARMS.
Fears of an Outbreak at Cause, Milan
County, Textile State Militia
Ordered to be
In Readiness to Proceed by Special
Trains to the Scene Of Action at
Moments Notice.

ST. LOUIS, October 29.-The Post Dis
patch prints in very late edition special
from Austin, Tex, stating that intense
excitement prevailed there last night and
to-day in consequence of telegram re-
ceived by the Governor that 500 negroes,
having arms, are in the town of Cause,
Milan county, and an outbreak is ex-
pected, and asking for help. In view of
the fact that the late decision on the civil
rights bill case is creating very bad feeling
among the negroes in that part of the
State, and as outrages are looked for, Gov.
Ireland Immediately issued proclamation
calling the militia out. Two companies
mustered here at once, and before mid
night over 1000 men at Austin, Hous-
ton, Galveston and other places
responded to the call, and were or
dered to be ready at a moments notice.
These troops received orders at = O'Clock
this afternoon. The precise nature of the
trouble at GauZe cannot be ascertained
There seems to be no doubt that dis
turbance is in progress, and the Governor
ordered a special military train is to be got
in readiness for immediate use. At 2:30
o'clock p. m, when the dispatches closed,
it says the Governor had received a
telegram from the sheriff of the county
and one from the railroad officials saying
the matter had quieted down, but they
give no particulars OF the affair. This has
calmed the feeling, and the troops will not
be sent unless an emergency arises.

YELLOw-FEyER AT PENSACOLA.
Report of the Court of Inquiry TO Inves-
gate its Origin.


WASHINGTON, October 24.-The court
of inquiry appointed. to investigate
the origin of yellow-fever at the Pen
sacola naval station make the fol
lowing report: "While we are not pre-
pared to say that yellow-fever really eN-
istsd in Pensacola this season, it is not
likely that fomites and bedding that were
not destroyed during the yellow-fever of
1882 generated mild sporadic cases which
eluded the vigilance OF the attending ply
sicians, and owing to the constant communi-
cation between Pensacola and the naval re
serve the fever may have been introduced.
There are quantities of stores in the equip
ment storehouse, which have been there
for many years, and were probably there
during the years 1867 and 1874, and have
never been opened until this year. On
August Sd of this year a laborer in the
equipment storehouse and on August 9th
the storekeeper of the engineers store
house sickened with symptoms sufficiently
suspicious to be classified as yellow-feyer,
although not SO diagnosed. The first case
of death from yellow-fever was Charles II.
Thompson, child living in Warrington.
The attending physician first believed the
case to be inflammation of the bowels, but
since has concluded that it was yellow
fever The funeral was very largely at
tended, and thus the disease was rapidly
spread, more especially as the lower room
of the house in which the child died was
used as an ice-cream saloon which was visit
ed freely by the young people," The court
concludes that the epidemic may be trace
able to either possible infection from Pen
sacola, to articles in equipment and steam
engineering storehouse, possibly infected
in former epidemics, to possible infection
in marine barracks since 1875, and proba-
BILE infection IRON the ballast used and

THE shipment from New Zealand to
England, in refrigerator steamers, of fish,
game, mutton and beef, is likely to prove
ere long a most remunerative business.
Several steamers have arrived at Liverpool
with their cargoes N such good condition
that they were at once seized upon by the
butchers and fishmongers, and found ready

Cyclone passed over Catahoula and Tensas

THE st. Louis Rdii,rdy Register admits
that there can be no doubt but that the
opening of the Memphis and Kansas City
railroad "will be an injury to the city of
st. Louis, for much business that formerly
came to this point viii go over the new
road. Kansas City also will secure the
bulk Of the business of the local points on
the line, and that which Kansas City does
not obtain will go principally to Mem
phis. 1t is equally obvious that the
new road confers immense benefits upon
southern Missouri and northern Arkansas
by furnishing railway communication to
sections heretofore without it. Means
will be furnished for developing rich dis
tric,s, now sparsely settled and imperfectly
known. Already new towns are spring
ing mp and all villages are growing rap
idly Real estate along the route has
doubled and quadrupled in value. il is
reasonably certain that the road can OBJ
tain local traffic enough to yield a consid-
cradle profit. Many of the towns have
only this one railroad and must give 1t all
their patronage The line crosses the St
Louis and San Francisco at Springfield
the Iron Mountain main line at Hoxie
the Texas and ST. Louis at Jonesboro, and
the Knobel Branch of the Iron Mountair
at Nettleton- In connection with th,
Iron Mountain, short line is furnished

IN consequence OF the pumping of brine
from the neat springs of Cheshire, Eng
land, the ground has begun to sink and
cave in, and many houses, much to the
alarm and risk of the inhabitants, have
fallen in. The fact is these springs have
been overtaxed, and at last have failed to
yield. The result is not only the collapse
of the ground on which so many houses
are built, but the closing of many furnaces,
which 1t is not expected will resume for
some time to come, Prices of salt have
advanced in consequence OF the supply
running short. The total quantity Of
white and rock salt shipped during Sep
tember was l0S,591 tons, of which the
United States took "a, ,qS2 tons.

TIE New York EUening Pos, Republi-
can, calls attention to the fact that an
analysis of the vote of Baltimore last
Wednesday does not give the Republicans
any extTavagant reasons for expecting to
carry the State. Latrobe, the regular can
didate of the Democrats, polled $4,000
votes, the same number received by Gov.
Hamilton in 1879. Heiskell, the Fusion
candidate, received 25,6o0. or $500 more
votes than were given Garfield in 1850.
Hancock's vote was $1,000. 1t is appar-
ent, therefore, that Heiskell's increase over
Garfield's vote and Latrobe's loss on Han
cocks vote, in each case about $500, repre-
sent the extent of the Democratic disaffec-
tion. Even should this vote be cast in the
same way next month, the Democratic
majority for Governor in the State, based
upon the Gubernatorialv vote of 1879, would
be $4,000, and upon the Presidential vote
of 1880. 5000.
