An Explosion at a Dynamite Factory In
fortunate Worklnen-Thc Force of the
Shock Felt Twenty Miles Away.
TOMS RIVER, N. j., May 2s.-A building
used as a drying-house at the United States
Dynamite Works OF James Volney & Co.,
situated in a dense forest about two
miles from here, exploded yesterday, and
two men. Atwood Hyres, OF Toms
River, and John Graham, of Yves leicester
County, N. Y, were blown to atoms. The
latter had been working in the mill only
two months. Had the explosion taken
place q few moments later several other
employees. who were about to enter the
building at the time of the disaster,
would have been killed. The
unfortunate victims OF the dis
aster were literally torn to shreds.
and fragments OF their flesh were found
hanging to trees more than 800 feet away
from the scene Of the explosion. Three OF
four years ago three or four men were
killed at these works by n similar acct.
dent. The shock OF the explosion
was felt twenty miles away. AT
Watertown, seventeen miles distant,
doors were forced open and windows
smashed. At Forked River, thirteen miles
away, the plastering was shaken from the
walls, and throughout the surrounding
country for twenty miles reports are com.
ing in of glass broken by the vibration
and OF other damage done to farm houses.

the Southerners Who Left America at

Armstrong, Consul-General to Brazil, is in

OF the condition of the colony OF South
erners who went to Brazil just
after the war, and who have been
IL sort OF lost tribe ever since. "These
people," said General Armstrong, "be-
lieved that the South could not recover
from the effects of the war and that the peO-
pie who participated in the war would
never be recognized in the reconstructed
Union. They accordingly gathered together
their household goods and departed. 1founc
them situated 400 miles from Rio Janeirc
in the back country. They have 8
tract about fifteen miles square.
There are now about 900 persons
all told in the colony. Some OF them hold
slaves. l explained how the United States
had advanced since the war, and advised
them to get rid of their slaves as soon as
possible. They are making a good deal OF
money raising watermelons. These are
very large and exceedingly good. The
Brazilians had never raised any, but buy
them readily, and are very fond
OF them. The native population
does little except raise coffee. The Ameri.
can't are engaged also in the production
OF cotton, and this finds ~ ready market,
as the mills that have been started in ths
Empire prefer it to any other. They are
in a general way quite prosperous. but
they need schools. 1 shall take some
school teachers with me if possible"
