An Anfi.BIaIne Meeting.

A Boston, Mass, telegram says: 4 meet
ing of Republicans and Independents Of
Concord, the home OF the philosophers OPP
posed to Blaine and Logan, was held Thurs
day night for organization for campaign
work. The meeting was largely attended
by some Of the most prominent men OF the
town. Samuel lloar, son OF Judge T..
lockwood Iloar, called the meeting to
order and made a speech, in which he
said that the feeling, which is a
very general one in this state and
a remarkably general one in the town OF
Concord, that the tyranny Of party has got
TO be almost unbcGrable in this country is
fast taking shape in Massachusetts, and
other States in way that he ventured 10
say would bring about result very sur
prising to the party managers. He had no
doubt that there are in Concord enough
independents and Republicans who are IN
sympathy with this movement to change
the result OF the election 50 lar As the town
is concerned.
Mr.. Hoar, John H. Chapman. and Mr..
Woodward were chosen delegates TO repre-
sent the new organization at the New York
conference.
The meeting voted unanimously to or
ganize itself into an ant.Blaine cam
paign club. and officers were chosen. with
George A. King as president. Among the
executive committee are DR.. +. W. Emer-
son, son OF the late Ralph Waldo Emerson ;
Sherman Hoar. Albert Tolman, and Ralph
II. Damon. Brief speeches were made by
several gentlemen, among them Mr.. G.
Buckley, of New York, father OF the pastor
of the Concord Unitarian church, who
spoke warmly OF Governor Cleyeland's
work, OF bis backbone, and the exhibition
he has made OF moral courage IN political
matters.

SHAKEN By An EXPLOSION.
The Potssviile People startled By an Accident
Three Miles Away.

A Pottsyille, Pa. special says: An ex-
plOsion at half-past 8 O'Clock this evening
shook up the entire city. IL was heard a
distance OF ten miles. The dense volume
OF smoke which rose high into the air To-
Gated the explosion at Cressona, about three
miles from Pottsyille. where there are a
number OF powder magazines. Hundreds
OF people flocked In that direction and so
great was the excitement that for some time
u was impossible to learn the full ex-
tent OF the explosion, which occurred in
what is known a. the barrcl-mill. owned
by the Latin 4 Rand Powder Company, Of
New York. The barrel-mll is the place in
which the composition is prepared and
mixed. How much Of this compound was
on hand at the time OF the accident Is not
known, but judging from the damage done
there must have been several tons OF tbis
material in the mill. The building. which
was q large frame structure, was blown to
atoms. Huge timbers were hurled a dis
lance Of half mile, and the only thing to
mark the spot where the mill stood Il u
great hole. Much of the Debris, which was
carried high into the air, was on fire, and
the mountain-side. where IL fell. is now a
mass Of flames, illuminating the country
around.
When the explosion occurred it was be-
lieved number Of lives were lost, for the
reason that at that hour the superintendent
makes his rounds TO see that everything Is
right. The engineer was also thought to
be about the building. and search for both
Of these men was being made when Jonas
West, the engineer, came hobbling up to
the crowd. A few minutes later. Erastus
Kipp, the superintendent, put in an ap-
pearance and told the following story :
"Myself and the engineer were together
In the engine-room, which IL only thirty
yards from the barrel-mill. | was in the
act Of leaving the room to 90 to the barrel
mill TO make my usual rounds when, with
out a moments warning. the explosion oc-
CURED. The shock was terrible. Both Of
us were dazed and some time elapsed before
We recovered from the Shock"
Engineer West was struck in tho leg
with flying missile and seriously injured.
Kipp escaped unhurt. Their escape from
death is considered miraculous, as the en-
gine-roOm. where they stood, was badly
shattered. The cause Of the explosion Is
rot and Will probably never be known.
The shock was severely felt at CresSOnl.
Buildings trembled and windows were
broken
