Two weeks ago it was at 500 per 1000
feet, and before any sawmills were put
in it was at one time as high as $500

made was small, and the demand was
very great Many thousands of feet

Terrific Explosion at Toledo, Ohio,
Which Was Heard Hundred
Miles Away.
The Work OF Destruction In the Immdi-
ate Vicinity, and Reaching for
Five Miles Around.

TOLEDO, o., November l9.-Thls morn
ing Toledo was startled by a terrific shock
which shook the buildings, shattered
glass and created apanic in many schools.
1t was caused by an explosion in the
nitro-glycerine factory and storehouse of
A. J. Rummel & Co., located about four
miles up the river outside the city limits.
Five men were at work in the establish
ment at the time. None were
killed, but all more or less injured.
The result of the explosion in the
vicinity is simply terrible. Large trees
were twisted off and the ground torn up.
Everything presents deplorable scene.
Windows were shattered in the House of
Refuge near by. In Perrysburg, five
miles distant, windows were broken.
The school-house walls were cracked and
black-boards thrown to the floor. Every
body rushed out of their buildings. The
shock was felt in Detroit, and at various
Canadian points across the lake, and as
far east as Cleveland. At each Of these
distant places it was supposed to be an
