Men to Frag-
ments.

PITTsBURG. Pa, Oct 30.--A frightful ae-
cident occurred eighty-f1ve miles from this
city, at Brooks's tunnel, on the Baltimore %
Ohio railroad. Twelve hundred pounds Of
dynamite exploded and killed five men, the
crew of freight train sidetracked
a short distance from the scene. The
men were walking along the track near
where the dynamite was stored. The remains
of the bodies OF the victims were gathered up
and were unacceptable The engineer OF
the train, named Reynolds, resided with his
family at Confluence, Pa. His body was
blown over the hillside One foot, hand,
and a portion Of leg were found, and
recognized by ring on one of his fingers
and by the torn overalls The rem
nants of what constituted the anatomy
of three persons is all that can be
found and ali are unrecognizahle. One of
the Inflated men was accompanied by his
father who remained on the train and es-
caped. Trees were uprooted and rocks blown
into the river in the vicinity of the explo-
sion. The place where the powerful stuff
was stored looks as ii an earthquake had
taken place The solid rock is scooped out
for 100 feet square and 80 feet deep. The re-
port of the shock was heard fifty miles dis
seven miles away.

of the killed are George Reynolds, an en-
gineer; Tice, f1agman, and Hammond, a

FAMOUS sHop-LlFrER DEAD.
Ihe Most Notorious Woman in chi-
cage Twenty Years Ago.

The Most Notorious Woman in Chi-
cage Twenty Years Ago.
CHICAGO, Oct. so A remarkable woman
died ia Wentworth avenue house last week.
Her name was Tanty Duris, and her hus-
band was the most famous burglar in the
west twenty years ago. She, herself,
was member and is the last of a notorious
band of robbers She was good mechanic
and fully equal to any kind OF evil work, but
would never countenance murder or safe
breaking. Her husband, however. looked
after that kind of business, and many crimes
were concocted in their saloon on the west
side
Mrs. Duris was an expert at shoplifting
Always dressed fashionably, she easily
worked the silk and iewelry stores on State
street without fear of detection. Her con-
versational ability was a great help
to her when cornered. One merchant,
who caught her stealing, once said that he
knew she was guilty, but when she raised her
| lustrous black eyes ana pleaded in her modu-
| lated, lady-like voice, he had not the heart to
| punish her, AMI let her go Whom she made
heavy haul two of her partners would take
the goods to New York, and never failed TO
return with the proceeds. But Mrs. DuIfs
carried her work 50 far that the mer-
| chants organized TO catch her. Their ef-
forts were successful She was ar
rested while slowing some silks away in her
pletheric pockets But she was never pun
ished, although nobody can tell how she got
off. Her photograph was taken, however,
and she had to give up the business. She kept
the saloon for the benefit Of her husband and
his associates till 1871, when Duris died She
has since lived solitary life, having made
enough money TO keep herself from want
Her body was buried in Calvary cemetery.

GIGANTIC RAILWAY SCHEME.
A Line From the Atlantic to the Pa
seiile Via Chicage sft

DENVER, Oct. S0-The Overland Broad
Gauge Railroad company, chartered under
the laws of New Jersey, has passed into the
hands of ex-senator Tabor, of this city, w.
Cornell Jewett, of New Jersey, and Senator
Fair, of California, who form the board of
directors.
The road contemplated win run direct from
New York bay, ON the New Jersey side, to
San Francisco, via Chicago. In crossing the
continent it will pass through Colorado and
Utah, and beyond Salt Lake City will run
parallel to the Central Pacific railroad 1t
is also understood that the road is to be
owned and CONTROLLED independent of
all existing combinations, and is be
ing pushed upon the basis of a
legitimate cost of the road through anissue OF
bonds of the Overland railroad construction
company, and an European syndicate, thus
being independent Of American capital and
congressional subsidy.
Mr. Jewett, wh0seems to be at the head OF
the scheme, is an anti-monopolist, and the
new railroad is an Incorporation Of
anti-monopolist character. It is proposed
also to run line Of telegraph along the road
with an extension to Europe, the charges to
be 50 cents per message for ocean kilograms

BUSINESS FAILURE IN CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Oct. 30.-The firm of Culver,
Page, Hoyne & Co, printers, stationefs and
book binders, has suspended Nothing could
be learned from any member of the firm as
to the condition of affairs except that it was
hoped that it would be able to resume
business in short time. At Brad
streets it was learned that
the firm had been doing business on a CAPT
tai of 5000, 600 and that their standing had
always been rated Every good" About a
year ago furry in paper had occurred, and
it %as supposed that Culver, Page, Hoyne q
Co were badly crippled by it. Their pay
was characterized as SLOW at that time,
but their creditors made no complaint, and
they were rated by Bradstreet as before.
The capital of the firm had no doubt been
seriously impaired at that time and since.
John Morris, it was known, was an attorney
at l54 Dearborn street, and was probably
carrying on the business nominally to secure
eastern creditors. It'looked like bad fail
ure, though no assignment had been made
1t was totally unexpected by the Bradstreet
agency.

ST. PAUL, Oct 3O-Two murders COM
mitted within twenty-four hours Of one an
other in Todd county, have occasioned the
e attest excitement The first ended the
career of one Nathan Gould, pioneer
settler of the county, who had during the eight
years he had lived there succeeded in making
himself more than ordinarily obnoxious to
nearly all with whom he came in contact.
He was last seen alive Thursday last at
Stone Prairie. Friday afternoon School
Superintendent Barnes discovered the body
in lonely place ON the road and gave the
alarm He was probably shot as he
rode into the timber Falling from his
horse he was shot in the head, and snbse-
auently not less than half dozen times in
the back. There seems to be little disposition
in the neighborhood to make the murder the
subject of legal investigation
The other tragedy happened about eight
miles from the scene of the Gould murder,
