SINGULAR ExPLosIoN.-Yester fore
noon, after the passengers had left the !
coaches of the train from Marysville and |
the switch engine was moving the empty

place in one of them, which on investiga- |
on proved to have occurred in the stove |
The latter was examined, and in it six
Winchester rifle shells were found all more
or less jammed and broken. One or more
of these had evidently caused the explo-
sion. How they happened to be in the
stove IS mystery. They were, of course,
either thrown in by some malciousIy dis
posed individual, or by some person re-
turning from q hunt, who had no further
Use for them. No bullets were found, and
1t may be that they were only loaded with
powder. They were thrown into the ash

have been heard from sooner.
