FRIGHTFUL CALAMITY.
Five Buildings Destroyed and several
Persons Allied by Gas Explosion.

At 80 on the afternoon of March 10Th an.
other appalling disaster was added 10 the his
tory OF natural gas explosions. A new gas
well known as the McWllliams well, belonging
10 the CHARTERS Valley Gas company, located
at Muraysyille, Pa, was being turned into the
company's main line at that point, when the
connection suddenly broke and the gas es.
capped In such volumes that 1t almost instantly
filled the adjoining houses. The gas ignited
In the house Of WIN. Taylor and terrific ex-
ploslon followed. The house was shattered
and was soon wrapped In flames. The inmates,
seven in number, were quickly taken out and
carried to the neighborng houses. The fire
communicated to four other buildings includ.
ing the postoflice and store, and all were total
ly destroyed. The fire ran back along the pipe
10 the well, burning the derrick and everything
surrounding 1t. The villagers were wild with
fright, as II was feared at one time that the
entire town would be consumed. The flames
were, however, confined TO five buildings. The
victims OF the explosion are William Taylor,
his wife and two children; Mrs. Harry Taylor
and her three children and Sallie Lacock. One
OF Taylor's children and Miss Lacock were 30
fearfully burned that they lived but a few
hours. All the others are dangerously burned,
except VIM. Taylor, who will recover. Tho
loss on buildings TO the gas company will
amount 10 about $4,000.

Why SQUIRRELS Cough.

Another illustration in Indian leg
,nds of the magical production OF
Iood, is the delightful explanation Of
he reason why squirrels cough, Mana
Jozho came one day to the lodge Of
he red-headed woodpecker, and, being
invited in, sa ~.own. Now there was
lothing for the guests TO eat, so the
ord few to the lodge pole (Which was
Lhe pole of the tamarack tree), and,
liter few pecks with his bcak, found
! creyice out Of which he pulled
something, and lo il was a fine rae
coon. This feat he performed half a
dozen times in succession, and then the
,quaws came in and prepared the feast.
Next day the red-hcaded woodpecker
returned the visit, and Manabozho, who
was not going to be beaten by bird.
had taken care to have u new lodge
round tamarack tree; so, apologizing
Just us the woodpcckcr had done. for
having nothing in the larder, he hoped
up toward the pole, and clinging TO 1t.
as he had seen the bird do, began rap
ping his nose against the wood. Una
BILE TO find any raccoons. he got so an
CRY that he knocked his head too hard
against the pole and fell down on the
floor stunned. And the woodpecker
went of in u huff. A few days later,
Manabozho was standing at his door
wondering how he could get even with
his neighbor, especially as it was the
depth of winter and there was nothing
but roots to eat, when he saw two men
carrying bear He got into CONVEX
sation with them, and, speaking of his
own magical powers, was asked to
give an exhibition of them. This he
did at once by turning one OF the two
men into stone. ''And now turn him
back into man." said the other.
"Ohm said Manabozho, IL cannot do
that, only know the first half Of the
trick" So the second hunter unable
to drag the bear all by himself, left it
at Manabozhos door; whereupon that
rascal invited all his friends to the great
feast, and was prodigiously important
and fussy at being able to ask them to
come and eat good bears meat at a
time when everyone was living on roots.
But alas! as each one filled his mouth,
the bears meat turned to ashes, and.
one after another, the guests began
coughing as il they were going to
choke. The more they ate, the worse
the coughing grew, and ut last the host,
in Indignation, turned them into squir-
rels, and that is why squirrels cough SO
much. San Francisco Ingleside.

THE RAILROAD STRIKE.
is Relieved TO be Approaching ITS
End.

St. Louis dispatch: The general impression
prevails in st. Louis this morning March 49,
in railroad circles that the Gould strike Is
nearing an end. The resumption Of suburban
trains without interference from the strikers
is looked upon as hopeful sign, and partial
re-establishment of freight traffic, and at other
points it is regarded in the same light. The
Knights are jubilant over the determination Of
Powderly, the Grand Master Workman OF the
Knights of Labor to confer with the dissatis-
fed Gould Knights, and they express great
confidence in his efforts towards settlement
of the difficulties which will result successful
ly and in their favor. This, together with the
announcement that Receiver Sheldon, Of the
Texas g. Pacific, has agreed to submit the
question OF justice of the discharge OF Hale at
Marshall, Texas, to arbitration, warrants the
belief tibet the strike is nearing an end. The
early suburban trains departed on time and
company expect no more opposition in run
ming these trains. No attempt has been made
to start out any freight. Everything is quiet
at the different yards, and although small
groups of strikers are gathered together just
outside, it Us oconfdenty believed that the
Knights will continue their quiet demeanor.

A Girl OF Fourteen Held Captive by q
Gypsy wretch:

Cora Green, pretty girl OF IA, escaped a
few nights ago from the Gypsy wagon OF John
Mcyey, who she alleges, kidnapped her two
years ago on her way home from school near
Lebanon, Ind. She was brought to Green
vile, Ind, by Alex Brown and other residents
of Adams township. Her story, as follows, is
a terrible one Of suffering and lnhunan treat
ment: She was keptin McIvey's gypsy wagon
most oil OF the time, travelling through
Dayton, Union City, Troy, Sydney and
other places, camping on the road McVey,
she says, beat and cut her body with q club,
a buggy whip and knife, shot her In the
head and outraged her about a year ago.
He also drove nail through her left foot into
a board, and tying her hands and feet swung
her up by the wagon bows an hour or two,
chopping her feet with Ratchet The scars
and wounds can be plainly seen. In response
to kilograms. replies have been received con
firming her statement as to the place where
she lived, her name, and parents now residing
at jamestown, Ind. McVey fed as soon as he
found that the girl had got away from himself

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Thirteen Negroes Murdered at Carroll.
ton, Miss.

A special of March 18th from Winona, Miss,
says: At Csrrollton fearful tragedy oc-
Cured in which ten negroes attempted to as
sassinate j. M. Liddell, Jr., INJECTING somo
painful but not Serious wounds. The negroes
engaged in this dastardly attempt are known
to be almost defiant and lawless in the county,
and since the attempt on Liddells life they
have been more openly defiant than ever. For
some reason not known they swore out a war
rant few days ago for Liddelps arrest. II
was at this trial the killing occurred The
negroes present were mostly armed. About
O'Clock party of armed men numbering about
4Oor 50persons ode up to the court house. They
dismounted and entered the building and at
once commenced firing upon the negroes with
the above result. They then returned the same
route they came. They do not live near Car
rollton. A later dispatch from Winona throws
a little mora light on the assassination. At
the trial about twenty colored men were pres
ent. Fifty white men, well mounted and each
carrying a Winchester, came riding up and
surrounded the court house. They then fired
into the building, instantly killing ten negroes
and wounded three Others SO they died soon
after, and with the exception of few who es-
capped through the window all the other ne
groes were more or less wounded.

ABETTlNG HER FATHERS MURDER.
VIII Answer for Her Crime Before q
Higher tribunal.

Newport, Il. l., dispatch: The trial Of Allen
w. Dorsey, medical student at the Uniycr-
sity OF Pennsylvania, and his wife, for the
murder OF the latter's father, was tO have been
commenced March 10Th, but announcement
was made In court that Mrs. Dorsey was dy.
ing, and the case was indefinitely postponed,
The case is very sensational one. In October
last Benjamin j. Burton, prominent citizen,
was found dead In his breakfast room with
two bullet holes In his head. A searching In
yestigation was made and to the astonishment
of the community, Dorsey and his wife, the
latter daughter Of the murdered man, were
arrested for the crime. Shortly after this En-
ma b. Burton, another daughter, confessed
that she and Dorsey and his wife were equally
guilty, for while Dorsey shot Burton, who was
eating his breakfast stood watch at the door
to guard against intruders. A few weeks ago
1t was developed that Mrs. Dorsey was about
to become q mother was In precarious con.
dition, the seeds of consumption having be-
come deeply rootined In her system and there
being other indications Of an approaching dis
solution The best Of medical skill has been
provided for her, but It is now certain that she
will be called upon to answer for her crime be-
fore higher tribunal before the case can be
passed upon by one below.
