A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
A building Demolished and Eight
Persons Hurled i'm the Ruins.

A terrible gasoline explosion occurred in
F. NJ Orr's stove and tinware store at ALI
ance, Ohio. Orr's store was in large new
brick block in the middle of the town. Sew
eral persons were in the store, and two fami-
lies lived on the second and third floors.
The force OF the explosion broke the windows
Of the other buildings on the square.
Orr's block was leveed to the ground, and
two brick blocks, one on either side of 1t,
yielded to the shock, while Others farther
away were badly damaged. In a few mo-
ments the flames rose from the ruins, and the
fire alarm was sounded. Such excitement
prevailed that the fire gained so much head
way as to nearly consume the ruins, and two
houses were burned before it was got under
control.
Meanwhile the scene was harI owing in the
extreme. 1t was known that six or more
persons were killed or were then imprisoned
in the wreck, or would perish by fire. Men,
women, and children were wrinsing their
hands, and the relatives of the inmates of the
buildings destroyed wandered about in hope
lessness and despair at their inability to save
them.
f. NJ. Orr, Elmer Orr, his on Mrs. Ho-
mer of Highlands, a daughter; Mrs. Frank
Evans and two children aged two and four
months, were known to have been in the
building at the time of the explosion. These
all persisted The women and children were
in the second and third stories, and are sup
posed to have been killed by the falling
walls Mr.. Orr and son were both
spoken 10 while confined under the
debris, but were burned to death. These
bodies were all recovered, and were crushed
or charred so as TO be hardly recognizable.
Nine or ten other persons were injured
The explosion was caused by fumes from
the gasoline. A child of Mr.. Orr turned a
faucet in a barrel and the fluid ran out on
the floor. Mr.. Orr was hopping it up, when
the gas arising therefrom ignited from gas
light.

WENDELL PHILLIPS.
sketch of the Life OF the WclI-KnOyyI
AgitatOr.

Following is a sketch of the life of Wendell
Phillips the agitauor and lecturer, who died
at Boston after a short illness in his seventy
fourth year.
Wendell Phillips was born on November
-, 1911, his father, John Phillips, having
been the first mayor of the city. He attend
ell Harvard college, from which he gradua-
ted in 1881. Two years later he graduated
from the law school of the college and year
afterward was admitted to the bar. In 1886
he became Garrison Abolitionst and
principles held and advocated by Mr..
Mr.. Garrison was mobbed While at,
tempting to deliver an address at
meeting of the Female Ant-Slavery society,
of Boston, and on which occasion he received
such rough treatment that he was partly
denuded of his clothing and was placed in
Jail by the mayor in order to save his life,
Mr.. Phillips warmly espoused his cause.
They then became fast frien Is and in all of
Mr.. Garrisons efforts to abolish slavery Mr..
Phillips was his ardent supporter. He con-
tinued to support the cause of abolition until
the accomplishment of this purpose at the
end Of the civil war.
AS an orator he first became distinguished
in 1881. In 1868 and 1854 he advocated the
armng, educating and enfranchisIng of
freedmen, and for the two latter purposes
procured the continuance of the Anti Slavery
society until after the adoption of the fiji
tee tn amendment II 1869. lie was warm
advocate eff temperance and was the Labor
Reform and Temperance candidate for gov
ernor Of Massachusetts, in 1870, but was de-
feated, although he received nearly twenty
! thousand votes.
At meeting in Faneuil Hall in 1870, called
! todenounre President Grants Louisiana poll
cy Mr.. Phillips appear and made speech in
favor of the policy He was OPP osed to cap
| tai punishment, was foremost in the ranks Of
advocates for ri,on reform and rh4 prohib
itory liquor law and strongly upheld woman
! suffrage.
! 1t was probably as lecturer that he was
best known. He had delivered lectures in
! most of the Northern States, his more nota-
BILE subjects being The Lost Arts and
"Toussaint LOuverture,' and his funeral
eulogies on Theodore Parker and John
| Brown attracted universal notice. His
speeches were never published complete,
although several of them have been issued in
pamphlet form and have been widely crcu
lated in this country and in England. Par
ta collections were published in Boston in
1864 and 1869, and his other writings are
scattered through numerous periodicals and
newspapers.

SUMMARY OF CONGRESS-
Senate.

A joint resolution of the Ohio legislature
in favor of the restoration of the tariff on
wool was presented . A petition was pre-
sented from Theodore ID. Woolsey and others,
praying for the passage of a law to provide
for the collection of divorce statistics. Mr..
Hoar, from the committee of the judiciary,
reported an anti-polygGmy bill 80.
Announcement of the death of Mr.. Mackey
was made and on motion of Mr.. Butler the
chair appointed committee consisting of
Messrs. Butler, Pendleton and Hill to attend,
on behalf of the Senate the funeral obsequies,
and then, out of respect to the memory of
the deceased, the Senate adjourned.
Resolutions were offered by Mr.. Platt to
inquire into the effects of Geographic con-
solidation . The Sherman resolution of in
quiry into alleged political outrages in Vir
ginia and Mississippi was taken up, and,
after speeches by Messrs. Sherman and Ma
hone, was passed without debate by a strict
party vote of 32 yeas to 30 nays. The SEN
ate passed the House bill making an appro-
priation to pay the rebate of tax on tobacco
-. The bill providing method of settling
incomplete titles to Mexican land grants was
debated, without action.
Numerous petitions asking for the prohibit
ton of the sale of liquors in the District of
Columbia were presented. Messrs. Sher-
man and salisbury criticised the report of
the conference committee on the Greedy ri
lief bill. They thought it was wrong to leave
with the secretary of the navy absolute
power to say who should go on this desperate
service. MIR. Ingalls, attacked the Senate
conferees for agreeing to the report, saying
the Senate was too much given to receding.
1t would be refreshing to have it insist upon
its amendments once in while. Pending
the discussion the hour of ! arrived and
the Senate went over to the House to attend
the Mackey funeral.
Bills were introduced to relieve commercial
travellers from license taxes; to authorize the
retirement of naval officers and to regulate
promotions in the navy. The Senate in.
structed the committee on postolices and
post roads to investigate the subject of the
cost of telegraphic correspondence =. The
Senate rejected the conference report on the
Greedy Relief bill and voted to ask new
conference. :. Mr.. Blair reported favorably
a revised Educational bill.

strides toward prosperity-and the

Wheat is quite sick, i'll fact we
might add that in spite of all the
doctoring it is seriously ill, and so very
low that but little hopes are entertain
ed for its recovery, unless there is an
unlocked for reaction, and it would
seem below the rallying point.
The English correspondent of Brad
street says that the indications for a
wheat crop in England and on the
continent has not been better Tor
years at this season. The plant is
thick and healthy and in promising
condition generally. In view of these
facts 1t will be we'll for farmers to
make up their minds for Il low price
for wheat for year to come, and gov
ern themselves accordingly. In other
words SOW less wheat and diversity
their crops as much as possible. We
should not be surprised to see wheat
as low as scots. per bushel in less than
10 months
