A LIVELY SHAKE.

A Powder Magazine at st. Joseph, Mo-,
Struck by Lightning and EXPloded--A
Blast of Nearly 500 Kegs of Powder
Damage to Contiguous Buildings aud
Throughout the City-How tho Glass Did
Suffer.
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo, April S.-YesterdaY
m rning about $3.50 O'Clock, while
heavy thunder storm was prevailing, the
lightning struck the powder-house OF ).
r. Ellinger & Co, on Prospect Hill,
about two miles northwest of the city,
and an explosion followed which not
only destroyed the house, but razed
two others, stand.lg near by. The
conclusion was felt all over the city,
and many windows were broken, be-
sides a great deal of other damage
being done. An investigation disclosed
the fact that but one person was injured.
Oae very singular feature was that there
was less damage and the conclusion was
felt less in the parts of the town nearest
the scene of the disaster than in more
distant portions of the city. Another
was the fact that while nearly all the
win ows on the north and east
sides of the streets were completely
escaped unharmed, and in all cases, as
near as could be learned, the broken
glass fell on the outside. The magazine
contained between 200 and 500 kegs of
powder, valued at from 81, 500 to $4,000,
and was owned by the Hazard Powder
Company, of New York. 1t is total loss.
The other magazine was wrecked, but
the powder, OF which there were nearly
200 kegs, was not injured and was car
ried away to a place of safety Ihis
house was owned by G. ID. Smith, OF
this city. The building cost about the
same as the other, and is a total loss
The third one, heavy stone affair." SUI
fered no damage save the uplifting
of the roof, which will cost but few dol
lars to repair. There was in it nearly 200
kegs of powder and quantity OF
dynamite which it is wonder was not
dctonated by the concussion. In the
house exploded there was no dynamite.
Nearly every building in the city suffers
considerable loss in the way of broken
windows, some of them being quite heavy.
The nearest residence to the scene oi
the explosion was that of Mr.. James
Sullivan, which is on the top OF the hill.
1t received the fun force of the cOncus-
sion and was seriously damaged. There
was also damage done to the furniture.
Mr.. Sullivan said the whole hill trembled
for an instant like an earthquake. His
little son Jimmie was struck in the head
by a hying missile and seriously IN
jured, but may recover. NoycS,
Norman & Co.'S boot and shoe factory
on North Third street, was badly dam
aged, the walls being cracked and win
dows blown out. small house owned
by Mrs VIM Mcneil, Il widow, was al
most totally demolished. Damage to
large business houses in the way OF
breakage of large plate-glass Is estimated
at nearly 81. coo. upon which there is no
insurance.

The 80 Re.erystlen Not oprn.

WAsHNGToS, ID. c., April 2.--The Sec
retary OF the Interior has received from
the Attorney General an opinion concern
ing the status Of the lands In the old Win
nebago or Crow Greek Indian Reservation
in Dakota. The Attorney General holds
that the order Of President Arthur OF Feb
ruary 9th last (opening these lands 70
settlemen), is imperative, for the reason
that the Sioux Indians hold title 70 the
land under the treaty of 1868 The land
has already been vered with entries by
white settlers under President Arth uf's
order, but it is probable that the etteet oI
this decision will be 10 deprive them uA

Postmaster Pearson's Reappointment-Ths
Reason for It,


WAsHGNGToN, d. c., March 31.-A
gentlemen very near the President, and
undoubtedly speaking from actual knowI-
edge, reports that the reappointment OF
Mr.. Pearson was made after patient ex.
animation of all the facts connected with
the charges against him, and his answec
to the same, which was yesterday sun-
mitted and read by the President. TIE
appointment therefore may be considered
a complete vindicatiOn of the POstmastes.
1t is further stated that Mr.. Pearson'a
reappointment will constitute a notable
exception to the course which the Presi-
dent may be expected TO pursue.
The New York POst-Office is the largest
and most important in the country, and IS
of interest to all people, especially tie
vast business enterprises centered in tie
metropolis. 1t is to-day a complete illus-
tration of the successful application Gf
the civil service reform principles to 81
immense governmental establishments
This condition has been brought about
largely by the intelligent effort of Mr..
Pearson, who is thus identified in the
closest manner with this example of ttss
success of reform. 70 retain him insures
faith and. confidence in the movement,
which would receive 4 shock from his r.
moval. His retention was earnestly re-
quested by large number of business mes
both Democrats and Republicans, ana
generally by Independent Republicans.
This act must not be regarded as in
dicating that in no other cases those oP
posed to the party of the President VIII
either be appointed or retained after tho
expiration of their terms In answer to
a suggestion that the re-appointment Of
Mr.. Pearson might cause dissatisfac tiOH
In the ranks of his party, the President u
represented as saving: "The Dems-
cratic party is neither hypocritical, ub-
patriotic or uDgratefuI.D -
