John GOrreIl and Charles Harris
Meet with an Ugly Accident.

Shortly before the dinner hOul
Yesterday residents in the southwest
portion of the city were startled by
an explosion which caused windows tt
rattle and houses to shake In Il man
ner suggestive of a sudden visitation
of the Charleston horror, and indeed
so great was the shock that people a:
far down town as Fifth and Ohio felt
it sufficiently to cause them to won.
der what had occurred. Hurrying
to the locality a Bs
zoo scribe discovered it to
be the result of the explosion OF
quantity of blasting powder and
giant powder on the premises of Capt.
John De Long. For some days Mr..
De Long has had couple OF colored
men, named John GOrrell and Charles
Harris, employed sinking a well near
his house Yesterday they reached
bedrock and were preparing to do
some blasting. For this purpose they
had secured three sticks of giant pow
der, a small case Of blasting powder
and the necessary fuse, which they
had placed on the bracket In the wa
ter closet at the rear OF the premises
for safety. Intending to make a blast
Immediately before going TO
dinner they went to the clubhouse to
prepare it Finding the fuse very
stiff, owing to the cold weather, Cor
rell cut of Ii piece and lighting some
straw was trying to thaw out the fuse,
when in some unaccOuntable manner
the fuse which was in the box with
the powder became ignited. Hearing
a noise over his head, GOrrell, who
was stopping over the straw fire,
looked up and discovered the fact.
Thinking to save his powder, he sliced
the box and started out of the door,
when the entire contents exploded,
tearing the clubhouse to splinters, as
we'll as the adjoining fence
and hurting both the men some
distance away. Gorrell was very
badly wounded in the groin and right
thigh, while Harris suffered mostly
about the face and hands. The little
son of Mr.. belong, who Was stand
ing close to Harris, strangely enough,
escaped without the slightest injury.
The injured men were picked up and
Immediately sent to their homes
where their wounds were dressed.
The physicians who examined them
say that though seriously hurt, they
do not consider their injuries will
prove fatal. The scene of the
wreck presented an aspect of ruin
that showed the terrific force of the
explosion and the only wonder is that
both men and Mr. belongs son
were not instantly killed.

The CITY Debt.

Register Thompson yesterday CON-
pleted his estimate of the city debt,
which shows a bonded Indebtedness
of 1858, 100, none of which is due
until 1908, though the city has the
right to take it up at any time. The
entire debt, which was originally in
10 per cent. bonds, has been funded
into 5 per cents, and the present adj
ministration has, since last May, can
celed $1,000 of the original indebted
ness, and has prepared to cancel
81, 100 more, which will leave the
debt at the beginning of next year

Hard on Wheeler.

\ special to yesterdays BAzOo an
nounced the sentence Of the would be
rapis', to sixty days in Jail at Clinton.
Speaking of the lightness of the SEN
tence, the Clinton Advocate says:
after the trial Mr.. Hull, in ex.
planning the whole affair, said: '1es,
it was for his parents sake that We
were lenient upon the young man, for
there is no doubt that he attempted to
outrage my daughter. Yes, | did think
he was all right at Humansville, and
thought | could trust my daughter
with him. My wife and myself and
Wheeler's father and mother held a
consultation and all of us, and espec-
tally Mrs. Wheeler, thought how nice
it would be to send Birdie in Hender-
sons charge, as she was going to
Clinton, Ill, and he to Kentucky.
We were all at the station when they
started off and Mrs. Wheeler, throw
ing her arms around her boys neck,
beseeched him To commit no act of
which he might be ashamed and he
promised her he would not
Then he came down here, the
fisrt chance he got, and acted in this
manner. Since the thing happened
there was a man living near Humans
vile that said to me that Wheeler told
him that he would ruin Birdie if he
got a chance, because she didn't have
any sense and maybe would not resist
him. Then he says he was drunk
when he did it. This is lie. He
was sober, but | learned that after the
thing happened he went TO a saloon
here in Clinton and poured whisky
down his throat as fast as he could
drink il, and that the saloon keeper
afterward slapped him aud put him
outside. This was to make the peO-
pie think that he was drunk when he
knocked Birdie down. Then" con-
tinued the irate father, ''he got set
of fellows who were to have come
down to testify to his good character.
One of these chaps had to leave Kan
sas because he ruined a girl another is
separated from his wife, because he is
too mean tn live with and the others
are equally as bad. | defy him to
bring anybody up who cac say any
thing against the good character of
my girl. Why, she has not had
male company minute of her life
and knows no more of evil than a
five year old child. She is unable TO
travel alone, is nearly deaf and at
times laughs and cries like a baby
when there is nothing to warrant such
actions"

Yesterdays Fire.

About 3 o'clock Yesterday morning
a bright light in The southern part of
the City caused officer Barnett 20 visit
the locality Arrived at Seventeenth

residence of Thomas Wallace, a car
penter, in flames aGd almost cOnsum-
ed together with the most of the
contents of the building. The total
loss is between S1100 and $1,000 ON
which there was an insurance for $500
Oh the house and $3.50 on the contents.
The fire is supposed to have resulted
from a defective fue. 1t was first
discovered about midnight when Mr..
Wallace and some of his friends ex-
the flames as they thought,
and left everything secure. Mr.. Wal
lace states that he sat up until nearly
two o'clock when he laid down and
went to sleep. An hour later he was
aroused by !he cracking and the roar
of the flames which had broken out a
fresh and he and his family had bare
ly time to escape with their lives be-
fore the whole structure fell in. No

The Cummings Epistles.

Since the publication of fac SMILES
of the purperted Cummings letters
by the St. Lonis Republican, many
discussions and opinions have been
the result as to whether the specimens
presented were really written by the
same hand. In order to test the
matter as far as practicable a BAzoo
scribe yesterday presented copy of
the paper to Professor c. w. Robbins,
of Central business college, who is
one of the most expert penmen
and pen and ink scientists
in America. After long and care
full examination the professor said :
at would be my judgement that
both specimens were by the same
hand, while it would not be impossible
for an expert Penman to initiate
them, yet there are certain peculiari-
ties of style in the formation of some
of the letters which | find common to
both that even an expert would find
it difficult to initiate without long
and careful practice, so nicely and
naturally as it is done ia the speci-
