His Opening Night In New YORK
Grand Success.
Syw YORK. October 29.-Henry lrving's
opeping night has come and gone, only TO
add to Mr.. Irvings already illustrious fame.
The theatre was nsely thronged and never
in the annals of the stage in this country
has an actor played to an audience OF
preater social distinction. This cultivated
and critical house rendered the artist
hearty greeting and at once gave Mr.. Irving
assurance Of the good will and perhaps the
favorable prepossession OF his audience.
During the entire play hushed attention
alternated with spontaneous enthusiasm.
II is known Mr.. Irving had expressed HIM
self as somewhat anxious about his recep-
ton in America. Certainly this Anxiety
is lsid TO rest for never ha; an
actor more easily won. the lsVoi
Of an aud ence. A degree OF nervousness
noticeable at times in Mr.. Irving, IN no
wise detrscted from his splendid ieiinsa-
tion of the character of Ma tIias but really

weird play of The Bells. After each act
Mr. Irving was called before the curtain
and with great grace Acknowledged the
Welcome which was so genuinely sincere

DEADLY DYNAMITE

LIMBS AMI FLESH sTREwN FOR YARDS.

Cause of the Explosion is
Shrouded in Mystery.

CONFLUENCE, Pa, October 29.-A terrible
disaster occurred Aear Brooks Tunnel, on
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, yesterday
morning about o'clock. resulting in the
instant killing Of five men.
The company have been employed for
some time past in strengthening the tun-
mel. Several hundred yards from the
mouth of the tannel was located a maya.
zine, in which a large amount of
Dynamite Was stored,
which was being used for blasting pur-
poses. Yesterday morning people living
for a range Of twenty-five miles were star
tied by terrible conclusion. Upon inyes-
tigstiUn it was found that toe dynamite in
the ms9asiDs had .lzz-lss, s.sl...lsssAssa la..
Exploded with Terrible Effect.
Nothing remained of the magazine, while
tiye men who were at work at the time
we're missing. 1t is thought that they have
all been killed. Portions of bodies, legs,
arms and heads have been picked up at
distance OF a half mile from the
Scene Of the IN NpIOsIOn.
But they were so badly ditigured as to be
unreCognizable. The cause OF the explo-
sion Is enshrouded in mystery, and as it is
quite probable that the i've men who were
at work are all dead, it is quite likely that
il will never be known.
Great Excitement Prevails
here, and hundreds of people have gone
to the scene OF the terrible disaster.
The terrific force Of the explosion is no
ticeable in all directions. The leaves on
trees and bushes are cur!ed and crimpled
as though having passed thrOugha a sirrocco
aud
Everything of Il Local. Nature Is De-
mOlished.
The only names that could be ascer-
tained at this writing are - Reynold, the
engineer, - Tice brakeman, and -

other victims, were blown to atoms.

To-day. however, they have come out IN
