The explosion in the wholesale grocery

The explosion in the wholesale grocery
building of Ruffner Bros. Charleston, W.
Va, which caused the burning of that
house and also the Hale House, owned by
Fitz & Woodward, it is now stated was the
result of dynamite Wilcher the fireman,
who was killed by the explosion, told his
wife that he had heard it whispered about
that Ruffin Bros. establishment would be
blown up with dynamite, but while he
did not entirely believe it, he had a
premonition of evil A box of nitro
gycerine, sufficient to have blown up
half dozen buildings, was found under
another house few days afterwards.

special correspondence of the VIRGINIAN.l
A great deal has been done and is doing
in lyHchburg in the past few years to i'm
prove the streets. Several of the principal
thoroughfares have been paved with Bel
gian block or cobble stone, and the ap-
pearance of the city is greatly benefited
thereby, to say nothing of the convenience
afforded to man and beast in locomotion.
This is one of the most expensive and
difficult places in the world to improve,
the town being built on cliffs and ridges
with gullies and ravines, sometimes
worthy of being called canyons, between.
AS rule the street has to be cut down on
the upper side or built up on the lower
side before anything can be done towards
the construction of house. The old
negros explanation for choosing such a
site for a town, ''they built it here because
they couldn't do nothin else with the
land, p often comes to mind, as one looks
at the enormous excavation or huge re-
tanning walls, which are the first steps in
making any improvements on THESE rugged
hills. 1t is said our street railway has a
grade only equalled at one other point IN
the United States, and putting James
River on top Of College Hill, y as was done
when the new reservoir went into opera
ton, required a feat of engineering skill
unsurpassed on the continent.
by the provisions OF the charter OBJ
tanned in 1880, the Council is authorized
to make any improvements its wisdom
may deem needful, without the consent
of adjacent property-holders three-fourths
of the City Fathers approving, and the
Council are further authorized to assess
the property on the line of such improve
ments with such proportion of the expense
as they see proper, all of it, if they so de
sire. In cases not otherwise provided for
the city is to pay half the expense ani
