ANOTHER ACQUEDUCT HORROR.

Three Men Blown tO Pieces by an Explosion
ofNitrO-G O-Glycerine.
New YORK, October 20.-John Shahill,
truckman, drove to the dynamite cartride
house at Shaft 16 of the new aqueduct last
night, to load up. In this factory was a
machine called an agitator, used for mixing
the component parts of dynamite before it
is put into the cartridge cases. A ther-
mOmetor is attached to the agitatOr, and
when the mercury rises above so degrees it
indicates danger.
Charles Ziedick was running the agita-
tor, and it is supposed he stepped outside
the factory while Shahill was loading his
truck, and left the machine to run itself.
A moment after terrific explosion took
place, and the bodies of Ziedick, Shahill,
and Engineer James Martin, who was at
work near by, was thrown into the air and
with them portions of the mule driven by
Shahill, the wagon and some outbuild-
ings.
The explosion was plainly felt three
miles distant. Not particle of powder
stored in the factory or loaded on the
truck exploded, The explosion was pro-
duced solely by the nitro-glycerine in the
agitatOr of which there was 100 pounds.
Riedick's head was blown off, and the
bodies of the other two men were horribly
mutilated.

in the Hudson Bay.

Strange Experience of Canadian Voyagers
in the Hudson Bay.
OTTAWA, ONT, October 20.-The Off
GERS of the Government Arctic steamer
Alert, which has just returned from an ex-
ploring expedition to Hudson Bay, re-
port astrange phenomenon which they
experienced during their recent voyage.
The story is told as follows:
Southamton Island was made at noon
on the 2sth of August, the compass work
ing very badly. Leaving there after tax
ing observations, the vessel proceeded to-
ward Hudson Bay, but on account of bad
weather did rot arrive there until the 30th.
During the night of the 3Oth
it got unusually dark, the air
being filled with dense smoke, which
smelt like burning pitch. The sea appeared
to be mass of fire. while on the deck of
the steamer the smoke was so thick that
one could not see his hand before him. A
furious gale was blowing at the time, and
the lead was the only guide. Captain Cor
don, the commander Of the expedition,
reports that he is of the opinion that great
fires were raging in the center OF Labrador
and that the dense smoke and heat, which
about that time was experienced along the
coast from the Gulf of st. Irawreuce to
Cape Breton, were due to this cause.

DIR. Chalmers Charges Lake Shore officials
With Malicious Prosecution.
CHICAGO, October 20.-Dr. Chalmers
NJ. c. Prentice, of Norwalk, O., was ar
rested October II, on a train of the Lake
Shore and Michigan Southern railway
when it arrived at South Chicago, charged
with disorderly conduct. The doctor
came to Chicago with his wife, and on the
way he met a number of friends who had
bought round-trip railroad tickets to Nor
walk, but did not intend to use them.
The doctor bought them, and for this was
arrested, the charge of disorderly conduct
being preferred against him because his
captOrs knew of no other accusation that
would fit his case. He was locked up, but
the railroad decided it could not proceed
against him and he was discharged. He
has now sued the railroad company for
$50, 900 in the United States Circuit Court,
for malicious prosecution.

The usual treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands of despairing
patients can testify. On this point a
trustworthy medical writer says: Prop
er local treatment is positively necessary
to success, but many, if not most of the
remedies in general use by physicians, If
ford but temporary benefit. A eure GER
tainly cannot be expected from snufS,

Cream Balm is a remedy which combines
the important requisites Of quick action,
specific curative power, with perfect safety
and pleasantneSs to the patient.
