An Explosion at Pittsburg Causes the
Death of One Person and the Injury of
Four Others.
On the evening OF the 5th, Frank
Kunkle, a teamster, living on Grant
Alley, Allegheny City, placed on the
stove to boil a mixture OF turpentine,
tar and linseed oil, which he had been
told would cure his horse OF lameness.
In the room at the time, besides Kun
kle, were his daughter Annie, aged Z
years, his son, aged ; years, Julia
Walters, 13 years old, and Il young
man named Dipp. The mixture had
been on the stove probably an hour,
when it boiled over. Instantly it ig-
nlted, and a second afterwards an eX-
plOsiOn occurred, which scattered the
scaldmg liquid and flames in all direc-
tions. Young Dipp, with great pres
ence OF mind, grabbed up the can with
the scaldIng mixture and started for
the door, while Kunkle ran to the res
cue OF the children, whose clothes were
n mass OF flames. One by one he
picked them up and threw them out OF
the window into the yard and then
jumping after them, tore the clothes
from their bodies. Assistance arrived
by this time, and the fire having been
eXtinguished, the little sufferers were
carried back to the house Annie was
burned to Il crisp and died shortly in
great agony. Julia Walters was
also terribly burned, the flesh
peeling off the arms and legs.
She Is still living and suffering
intensely. Hope, however, is enter
tanned OF her recovery. The little boy
was badly burned about the face and
arms, but viii recover. Young Dipp
had the flesh burnt off his hands and
arms, and Kunkle vas painfully but
not seriously injured The damage to
the house by fire is verE sIight.

An Earnest Word.
Memphis Avalanche.

There has been OF late great hue
and cry about independent Journal.
Iism in, Tennessee" This hue and cry
has been raised by papers of a single
kind, papers of the kind that are inca
pable OF logical analysis or Al fair con
clusion. They have confused indie
pendent newspapers and democratic
newspapers that do not believe in adj
vancing the interests OF a certain ring
OF politicians who mostly do congre,
gate in Nashville. Independent news
papers are papers that give no adher-
ence TO the dictates of any party.
Such papers as this are unknown in
| Tennessee. But papers Of the other
class have been ruthlessly and foolishly
| dubbed independent democratic pa.
pers by the self-seeking politicians OF
the organ class, and then they turn
frantictlly upon the magic phantom
they have just cast upon the canvass
OF their own imagination.
1t is not aniiss again TO draw the
distinction between those democratic
papers whose editors visit Washington
to confer with the president about
patronage and that other kind that
believe with deep and abiding fervor
in the future o( the party, whose his
tory is record of The best achiev-
ments- of the American people. Every
breeze brings from Nashville accounts
OF the intrigues carried on TO secure
to a certain class of men the governor
ship or the sanguine hopes that Il
deadlock in the next legislature will
fnrfsn tl,n aInntann IN, fI.n IIrffnH Gtafaa
senate of some untried but self conf
dent material. Papers edited and
published for such objects, backed on
the one side by name, which to the
ears OF many judicious and fair
minded observers is synonymous with
corruption and a gigantic system of
fraud, and on the other hampered by
the personal ambition of men who
lack every element OF leadership ex-
cept an INSCRIPTIONS promptness to
accuse others of evil, cannot but look
with dismay ON the papers that are
looking after the interests of the grand
party which has steadily descended i'll
power and influence under their mis-
guided and infatuated leadership.
Papers and men of this kind are
W va
ested motives. This is to them the
only Ineligible motive of action.
They cannot understand the loyalty
and manhood that stands unfiinchingly
by the flag, whilst the leaders are eag
erly plundering and despoiling, The
Avalanche wants to see the party sue
ceed, because this carries with IL the
prosperity and increasing welfare OF
the people. The papers that falsely
sneer at it as an independent paper
are alone solitious about who shall dis
tribute the patronage, appoint internal
revenue collectors and the like, in
order to pack gubernatorial and judi
cial conventions through deputies and
gaugers. The distribution is not be-
tween party papers and independent
papers, but between papers that work
for self and papers that work for party.

A Valuable Dog.
Texas Siftings.

Yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock, dog with tin kettle tied to
his wagging machinery was observed
on an Austin street The dog did not
appear to be much more alarmed at
the kettle than the average politician
is when he is nominated to lucrative
position. He took it as a matter Of
course There was tall, ,sleek-looking
young man standing near crowd on
the sidewalk. He looked intently at
the dog for moment, and then ex-
claimed
"By thunder! that is banker Thomp-
sons little daughters lost dog that he
has offered fifty dollars for"
Five different men, with their
tongues sticking out like muoilage
bottles, trying to whistle, and saying,
"that's a good little doggy" advanced
on the astonished animal. One very
respectable looking gentleman, with a
silk hat on, tried to detain the animal
by his handle, but the tog got mixed
up with its legs, and down he came
like pile driver. Several hackmen,
who we're subsequently arrested for
leaving their teams, joined in the can
yass, and when the procession turned
the corner, with the dog and tin kettle
attachment twenty feet in advance, al
most every class of the cosmopolitan
population had its delegate in the pa
geant.
Then it was that the sleek young
man doubled himself up and went be-
hind store door until his emotions
had passed of.

TulIahoma Guardian: On the same
evening-Aug. 8, 1885 and about the
same hour during which the mortal
remains OF Gen. Grant we're laid TO
rest with such magnificent show,
there was another burial in an out of
the way spot, near the base OF Cumber.
land Mountain, of man named Mari
on Hale. lie was an inmate of the
county poor-bouse, who from physical
disability was unable TO earn liveli-
hood. He was taken suddenly sick on
Friday night and on Saturday morn
ing quietly passed away. One friend
alone remained to him in his last hour.
This gentleman digged the grave and,
for lack OF any other help, was COM
PEELED to carry the coffin containing
the corpse on his shoulder up the hill
TO the poor-house burying ground, and
with his own hand, in the solitude of
the late afternoon, he quietly covered
over the remains. How wide these
two extreme cases. 1t may be that as
many anelgs attended the funeral of
Marion Hale as of General Grant 1t
may be that he wears as white robe
in the bright home above. IL may be
that he is as highly esteemed where the
test of honor is the righteous soul.
