Mr.. Editor, permit me TO give your
readers few items relative to a court.
ship of long ago.
Some IS years since there lived in q
country place m what is now called
West Virginia, pious minister OF the
Gospel who was blessed with q large
family of respectable children, among
whom were tive young women fair to
look upon. Such was the strict disci-
pline Of this worthyjdivine that no young
man was permitted to como about the
house unless he stayed in the room with
the old folks, and must then leave at
O'Clock, sharp. Ii % happened one
night the writer of this and oompan-
ion of his found these two young ladies
at musical entertainment, and accom-
panied them home.
In those days it was a common thing
among young people to sit up together
and enjoy private conversation. This,
however, we did not dare attempt At
this place. But the young ladies cauie
70 the rescue, bidding N to take Oh our
shoes and slip noiselessly into the
kitchen. where we stayed for an hour
or two and then departed in like man
nor. But the fates were against Us now,
for my companion, in his haste to put
on his tight-fittipg fine boots, drew the
left boot on the right foot. which stuck
fast about halfway down the bootleg.
He then went to a huge woOd-pile in
the door-yard, and putting his foot be-
tween two of the logs, attempted to
draw the boot, but only succeeded IN
drawing down the wood-pile, which
made fearful rumbling. This brought
the dogs atA furious rate. Ny COM
panion said, My God, what snail We
DOR
: did not wait to instruct him in the
least, but made tracks for dear life,
while be came after me, with one boot
in his hand and the other ON his foot,
sounding like caflank, caflunk, cafunk,
at each leap. When We had got safe
distance from the house and the dogs 1
helped him pull off the boot, and we re-
tired tho balance of the way in good
order. / never learned whether or not
the pious father found out what threw
down his wood-pile. n.

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION OF PowprR
W0Rkk.

DAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-This after
noon about 3 O'Clock, d terrific explo-
NON occurred at the Giant Powder
WORKS, three miles from Berkeley. The
suock OF the explosion was distinctly
,eu 10 TINS city, and was rapidly fol
ioweo py succession of explosions. in
sallaoiy accompanied by severe concus-
sion, which even at this remote distance
t.on the scene of the disaster, shook
tne ground at lively rate. Proceeding
" toe works OF the company, your COR
Mspondent found the employees. mainly
CninAmen, scattered along the road
leading to Oakland, and, as Ole, Civ
ing the widest estimates of the number
Killed, and the amount of damage. Ar
nvmR at the works, all the outhouses
were blown to pieces, and shattered
portions of human bodies are strevn on
the ground. The glare of the lamps
norne by the searching parties revealed
HORRIBLY MAyGLED FORMS
OF Cinnamon. Their surviving country
men Kept up a continual jabbering, and
gradually summoned mp enough courage
70 approach within safe distance from
the blazing outhOuses, which had been
ienited by the explosion. A cursOry
view OF the situation was enough to con-
vince those wto returned that any at
tempt at rescue might he attended with
serious results, as the fire threatened
the magazine, in which an unusual
quantity of powder and nirro-glycerins
were stored.
THE FIRST EXPLOSION
occurred in the packing house, but in
what manner is unknown, AS those en-
gagged there, with one exception, are
dead, and he is unconscious. A large
excavation has been made in the brow
of the hill, where the packing houses
were situated, about twenty feet open
space intervening between each.
1t Is supposed that the flying embers
and the conclusion from the first expio-
sion caused the others, some exploding
simultaneously. This theory is borne
out by the fact that the packing houses,
ten IN number, are completely demol-
lshed. The fire then made way to the
remnants of the dipping houses, where
eight Cinnamon we're found lying in a
heap. About hundred feet from this
point headless corpse and horribly
disfRured remains of Chinaman were
found by the reflected glare of the fire,
which rapidly gained in the direction of
the magazine.
1t is impossible to tell how many were
killed. The total force consisted of 125
men. It is believed, from a superficial
examination made, that forty Cinnamon
were killed, and one white man, Ferdin-
and Kumpf. foreman, who had been
through two explosions of the same
works. was killed. Oscar Fergofshy,
foreman of the packing house, is badly
bruised, and his ears were blown off.
He 10 not expected to live.
