Terrible Gas Explosion,

New YORK, March G.-An explosion of
gas occurred this morning in the vaults
of the cellar of saloon kept by one Hol-
lander, situated in the Stats Zeitung
building. The ~gas pipes through the
vaults leaked, and the escaping gas ac-
cumulated during the night, and when
the gas in the cellar was lighted this
morning and the vault door opened, a
terrible explosion ensued. The iron
coverlid of the manhole leading
from the vault to the sidewalk
was blown high in the air, falling
with frightful thud, but fortunately hit
ting no one. Every pane of glass in the
saloon was blown out Bottles, glasses,
and dishes were destroyed. Two en-
ployes, Heinrich Meier, aged twenty
four, and Heinrich Bachmann, aged
twenty-one, were taken out stunned and
badly burned about the head and neck.
Loss of the saloon estimated at two
thousand dollars.

RIOT IN GEORGIA.
A Drunken Murderer Arrested Unsuo-
cessftil Attempt at Rescue.

SAVANNAH, GA, March 6.-lsaac
Turner, well-to-do planter OF Berrlen
County, became intoxicated at AlIapaha
day or two ago, and drawing his revolt
yer. emitted its seven chambers indis-
crminately through the street. Norman
johnson (colored) fell to the ground NOR
tally wounded in the abdomen. Another
negro was wounded in the arm,
and another of the bullets went
through a window and dam
gerously wounded Mrs. MeigS, a widow,
in the breast. Turner was eventually
overpowered by the Sheriff and lodged in
jail. Anime O'Clock next morning twenty
five or thirty of Turner's friends, heavily
armed and mounted, entered the town on
agallop, and after driving the people from
the streets in terror, rode to the jail and
demanded Turner's release. Collecting
his deputies, and strengthened by a few
villagers armed with pistols, and shot
guns, the Sheriff refused to accede to the
demand, and prepared for vigorous
defense. Several shots were exchanged,
but no one was hit until part of the
cavacade dsmounted and, under orders
of their leader, attempted to batter
down the door of the Jail, Having given
them due warming the Sheriff shot one
OF the attacking party, and his compan-
ions thereupon beat a retreat. The man
was wounded but not killed, and was
carried away by his comrades. In
the meantime the Sheriff managed
to send dispatch to the Gov
ernor, asking that he order the
Albany Guards, fifty strong, to dispense the
mob. The Governor granted the request,
and telegraphed his instructions accord
ingly. The rioters attempted to intercept
the Sherff's dispatch by Selling the tele-
graph Office, but the dispatch had been
sent before they gained its possession
The isolated town was without telegraph
ic communicatiomfor several hours, but
when they learned that the troops were
on the way on a special train the rioters
left the village as hastily as they had en-
tered. In compliance with the Governors
instructions the troops returned to Albany
upon the receipt of dispatch, when in the
middle of their journey, that the rioters
had dispersed. Further trouble is almost
certain, however, aud the Guards are or.
dered to hold themselves in readiness for
any emergency.

ney, who was President of the Boston
National Convention held year ago, and
was made President of the National
League on the death of Mr.. Elmendorf,
sent letter, which was read to the con.
vention, stating his inability to attend,
and speaking Of the nature and scope
OF the law and order movement as fol-
lows:
at is impossible to overrate the import
ance to the American people of an or
ganized effort extending throughout the
country to secure the enforcement of
the laws, because they are laws and ex-
press in constitutional form the will of the
people, especially when the laws upheld
are of the highest interest to society, and
when the effort is made by members of
all political parties and religious denomi-
nations.
True civil liberty cannot exist except
under reign of law by which freedom
Is protected and its enemies restrained.
Ihat the law and order movement origin
ated in the great cities, where the failure
OF free government has become a national
calamity, is one of the most cheering
signs of the times and that the move.
ment has been taken up and carried for
ward by the countryis hardly less encour-
aging to the patriotic heart. The corrup-
tons OF government in the large cities
will not be much longer endured. With
out the fostering aid of the liquor sa-
looms the power of those corruptons
could not be maintained But for the
political corruptions of the large cities,
the public affairs of the States and the
Nation could be kept comparatively pure
At length the public mind is aroused to
the enormity of the mallgninhuence ofthe
liquor traffic on society, citizenship and
government, and the American people are
slowly but surely reaching determina-
ton that the evils of the traffic must be
greatly diminished, even though the
traffic itself be crippled or destroyed.
The distractions to good government
must give way before its advance"

Moreland's Death.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March G,-Lieutenant
Andrew NJ. Moreland, Jury Commission
er, died suddenly this morning shortly
after eleven O'Clock. Himself and others
were walking along Diamond street, when
Mr.. Moreland stepped on a coal grating
and fell, striking his head on the curb
stone, making an ugly cash on the back
of his head. Several persons ran to his
assistance, which was of no avail, as life
was extinct in less than ten minutes.

his age. He served with great credit in
the late war under General Rowley; was
a member of the g. A. r. for several
years, and Brother of City Attorney w.

An Outgrowth of the McDevitt-O Boylan
Difficulty.

RENDvILLE, o., March 6.--Excitement
in Sunday Creek Valley is again being
raised to high pitch this morning by the
coming of Sheriff Crosbie and six depu-
ties, who are now swearing in force of
men to arrest the remainder of the
llicky lynchers. This is an outgrowth of the
McDevitt-O'Boylan trouble, as the par
ties to be arrested to-day are implicated
in both mobs. 1t is feared a general out
break may occur at any moment. Affairs
to-day are in worse condition than

A COSTLY SEARCH.
Expenses Incurred and Rewards Offered
for Tiller's Arrest.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March G.-The ex.
penses of the Express Company in inaug-
urating the search for Tiller, the alb.
sconding clerk, already amount to a cool
$4,000. A well-known detective will ar.
rive from New York tomorrow, and one
OF Pinkerton's Chicago men reached the
city to-day. Ham Best, the company's
detective, believes that Tillcr is still In
the city, and he is borne out in his belief
by several very prominent indications. 1t
is probable that the company will again
increase the reward offered. They say
that they are ready to spend in the search
fully the amount Tiller robbed them of.
A CONFIDENCE MAN
of local notoriety, who left the city few
days since, is suspected of completely in
the theft and officers are running him
down. That Tiller had confederate is
no longer doubted; that his confederate
has left the city is believed. 1t deyelopes
that Notwithstanding Tiller's reputation
for morality, he had quite an acquaint-
ance among fast women in st. Louis. 1t
is more than possible that his hiding
place at present is disreptuable house
within the city limits.
SLIGHT CLEw.
The arrest of Gerald McKellops, Geo.
Matthews and Maggie Wallace by Detec-
tives Sheehan and Eggs, and their incar-
ceration for some unknown cause, was
announced yesterday McKellops and
the girl were subsequently released, but
Matthews was held. Gerald McKellops'
brother Lynton is wanted for wife aban-
donment, and it is likely that the detec.
tives thought they had the right one. 1t
will be remembered that Detective DeS-
mond, about week ago, had Hattie
Nichols, the keeper of a disreputable
house on Eighth and Walnut streets
heavily fined by Judge Cady in retalia-
ton for her having prevented him from
searching her house. She and Lynton
McKellops were known to be on intimate
terms. The latterwas in the house at the
time of Desmond's visit, but finally got
away. 1t was thought that he had re-
turned when his brother and the others
were arrested Matthews is known to
have been casual acquaintance of Tiller,
the Express robber, and he may be held
IN that connection. Lynton McKellops
was also one of the few parties who were
on speaking terms with the fugitive.
His wife's maiden name was Long and her
relatives have been pressing the charge
so vigorously that the husband has at
last found it convenient to move else
where.

Scheutze's Reception.

ST. Louis, Mo-, March 6.--At noon
to-day Lieutenant Scheutze, of the United
States Navy, was rendered magnificent
reception in the large hall of the Mer-
chants Exchange, which was crowded
with spectators, among whom were
many ladies. The hero of the
hour was the recipient of a pleasant and
complimentary address by President
Francis, to which he responded with be-
coming modesty. The hand-shaking which
ensued proved warm contrast to his
two-years' cruise among the ice bergs of
the North.
