correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.l
STAUNToN, March 3, 1885.
Our neighboring city of Wayncsboro'
was reused from its slumbers night be-
fore last by an explosion Of dynamite
that shook the sleepy valley of the
South river and echoed from the back
bone Of the Blue Ridge, "peak answer
ing peak the rafting crags among"
The history of the affair, gathered
from parties who attended the exam
ming trial Of those implicated, is as
follows A colored man named Henry
Reeves owns and lives in house upon
one of the streets Of the town; which
house had an l. in the rear, which
Reeves had let to two colored girls
who were in service as a lodging
place. In order that his place might
retain its responsibility he had con-
tracted with his tenants that good or
der and strictly moral conduct were to
be observed by them and their visitors.
Finding after time that the two women
were entertaining two negro men en-
ployed at the manganese mines i'll the
neighborhood Reeves turned his ten
ants adrift. Threats were made by the
two girls and one of the men against
Reeves. and on the night mentioned
dynamite was exploded under the sill Of
the outer door of the room on the lower
floor facing the street, the room in
which Reeves had been sleeping. For
tunately on this night he was sleeping
in an upstairs room. The stills above
and below on the door were to some
extent rotted, and did not afferd the
resistance they would otherwise have
done, and the damage was to that
extent reduced. The door was blown to
atoms, the floor near it splintered, and
the splinters driven into the plaster
ing of the room in all directions. A
hole about two feet in diameter and
two feet deep was blown in the ground,
the front of the house was shattered,
the bed overturned, and the windows
of this house and the house next to it
on the same side of the street, and of
house opposite, were smashed. Reeves,
who was above in the room just over
this one. in bed, says he was asleep,
and when he came to himself he was on
the floor with his hands full of ashes.
lie must have been blown out Of bed
across the room and into the fireplace.
The parties have been arrested and
await the action of grand jury. This
is our first dynamite case, and cannot
foretell the action of a jury of Augusta.
