Terrible Dynamite Explosion.
THREE MEN KILLED ON THE spot AMI

READING, Nov. 6.-The dynamite
works of H. w. Stump & Co., three
quarters of a mile from Stoucbsburg a
village OF 500 inhabitants, blew up this
afternoon, shaking up the country for
distance Of 10 to 20 miles. The
works consisted of five frame buildings.
the timbers of which went flying in ali
directions, nothing remaining but the
foundations. All the men in the build
lngs were killed, so the cause of the
explosion will never be known.
The names of the killed are Frank
Statz, married, aged 30 years; Frank
Kapp, aged p years, single. and
Joseph knous, aged %, single.
Inc buildings contained an unusual
quantity OF dynamite, hence the ter
rl1hc shock, which was felt as far East
as Reading, nearly 20 miles away.
windows were broken in manv houses
IN otouchsburg, people were knocked
off their feet, and mirrors and nictnres
were shaken off the walls. A church

Inc victims were literally blown to
atoms.
At RobesOnia, 10 miles from Stoucbs-
Ourg, number of masons were work

refining with new fire brick, The
stack was probably 100 feet high and
the work nearly completed. Ten

scaffold above.
Just rs the shock of the dynamite
explosion was felt, the stack Ouivered
there was a rumbling noise. followed
Immediately by great delupe of
bricks completely burrying seven men

Were not instantly killed they will be
burned to death, as the scaffolding is
burning and they cannot be reached.
Inc damage to the furnace is esti-
mated at 900. 1t will take months
to repair the damages.
The damage to property in the vi
entity of the dynamite works Is even
greater than at first reported. Moth

church reported unroofed. In manv
houses not single pane of glass re-

The excitement was intense. Crowds
Of people, including the widows and

furnace cannot be estimated tonight.

There isa law which provides, in

in the measuring or weighing of arti-
cles Of merchandise, shall be tested
and certified as correct once every
year by the county treasurer, who is.
under the law, the county sealer of
weights and measures. In order to
perform the duties of this office, he
must be provided with the standards
OF weight and measure by which to
Judge of the accuracy of those in use.
and he receives a fee for such inspec-
tion. 1t seems to us that general
application Of this law throughout the
state would effectually do away with
one of the grievances of which farm
ers complain, namely: an unwarrant-
ed discrepancy in weights between
different shipping points. As it
would seem to be the duty OF the
county commissioners to make pro
visions to secure this inspection, we
respectfully call their attention to the

We heard a good practical dairyman
say the other day that he could take
hold of the creamery and run it to
make it pay by making cheese. lie
claims that a pound Iyr2sE1

a pound of butter requires twenty
five pounds of milk. In other words,
it takes two and one-halr times the
amount of milk to make pound
of butter that it does to make q
pound of cheese. Cheese is worth
IL l-2 cents pound here. on the
cars, for shipment westward, which
ought to make butter worth, using
the proportion of one to two and one
half, 81 IA cents. as twenty cents
pound is higher than the average
price of butter, throughout the year,
It can readily be seen that the figures
are vastly in favor of the cheese pro.

There has been very clever effort
to explain away the opposition to Mr..
James Mulligan Blaine by the large
number of influential newspapers in
the east by calling them free trade
organs and saying that they oppose
Mr.. Blaine because he is protection
ist. Mr.. Edmunds is just as much a
protectionist as Mr.. Blaine is. but.
we do not hesitate to say that Mr..
Edmunds would have received the
unfaltering support of every one of
these journals had he received the
nomination from his party at Chicago.
Free-trade has nothing to do with
their antagonism; they oppose Mr..
Blaine because they cannot stom-
ach him and his political methods.
Some of them go SO far as to question
his honesty and moral fitness for the
highest office in the country:
