DIRE DISASTER.
Lightning Creates Sad Havoc I'm Chicago
Powder House.

Lightning Creates Sad Havoc In n Chicago
Powder House.
CHICAGO, August, 29.-At 9:l5 o'clock this
morning in the midst of a thunder storm
the powder magazine belonging to Latin &
Rand Powder company was struck by light
ming. An explosion followed, which de-
stroyed property valued at $4,000, besides
killing one person almost instantly and fa-
tally injuring four and inflicting painful
injuries on nearly twenty-five others.
just preceding the explosion a long cleo
trio flame seemed to burst from cloud d.
rectly over Latin & Rand's magazine, and
in an instant the air was filled with flying
missiles, masses of brick and clay, and
sheets of tin. Large stones and pieces of
timber performed indescribable gyrations
hundreds of feet in the air, some falling
back close to the points from which they
started, while others shot off into space with
frightful velocity, only conforming to the
laws of gravity after long flight. Stones
weighing from ten to fifty pounds were
thrown into fields two miles from the scene.
Trees were stripped, fences by the mile were
laid low, telegraph wires were snapped, and
the prairie bore seams as of q thousand
steam plows. Not a building within a mile
of the explosion escaped damage.
The cottage of John Guhl, with its sur
rounding outhouses, was laid low, and in a
moment parts of the exploded warehouse
began falling on the cottage. The family
consisted of himself, his wife and Carrie
Ahernworth, IA years of age. The latter
was instantly killed while Guhl and his wife
we're dragged from the ruins frightfully
mangled. Their horses, COW and swine
were all killed by the conclusion and the
bodies blown full of dirt, sand and powder.
The ruins of Guhls house Immediately took
fire, and the smouldering fragments burned
out during the day.
The body of Carrie Ahernworth presented
sickening spectacle. Half the face was
torn away, the eyes we're almost blown from
their sockets and there was gaping hole in
her forehead large enough to receive mans
fist. GuhPs left arm was torn from the
shoulder. The body was removed to the
home of her uncle, August Ahernworth, on
California avenue.
The dead and fatally injured are:
Miss Carrie Ahernworth, instantly killed.
Peter Kenn, a farmer, ribs broken and
fearfully burned.
/ John Gum, teamster for the Oriental Pow
der company, ribs fractured, right leg
broken in two places, Internal wounds.
Mrs. Guhl, skull crushed.
Mrs. Lizzie Divine, right leg crushed to a
jelly, breast transf1ed by strip of glass.
The shock caved in two magazines of the
Oriental powder company, and also those
belonging to the Warren Powder company,
the Hazard, the Dupont company and the
Forcite dynamite storehouse. The Latin
& Rand company was the only one which
exploded. Where it stood is now an i'm
mense excavation, nearly fifty feet in
depth.

The boarders stated that the cause Of the
Sickness was arsenic, which fortunately had
been administered in such large quantities
that it caused copious vomiting. Thoee
adected by the poison were Judge w. II. II.
Elizabeth Blanchard and Samuel Blanchard,
and G. A. Littlefeld, of Boston. Officers
were put ON the case, and as result OF their
investigation arrested Mary Davis on suepi-
cion. She says that on the day of the poi
eoning Mrs. Blanchard bought some tea.
which, Mrs. Blanchard remarked that it
tasted like tobacco. Mrs. Blanchard, the
girl says, scooped the new tea out of the
canister until she thought she had got it all
out, and told the servant to use for supper
the old tea remaining in the canister. which
she did. The girl denies ever having had
any arsenic in her possession, and says she
does not know what it is, and that she did
not put anything in the tea. Her character
has been good. Those who did not drink
the tea were not made i'll.
The accounting officers of the United
States treasury department are in some
doubt as to what they will do with the &C
counts of certain public officers who have
been appointed by the president since con-
gresS ADJOURNED. Iney are those whose
nominations were not voted on by the SEN
ate. It is understood to be held by republi-
can senators that section So of the tenure of
office act, prevents the disappointment of q
man appointed to fill q vacancy before the
late session of the senate, whose nomination
was not acted upon. The president has,
however, re-appointed a number of men
who were in that condition. 1t is understood
that he examined the Law in the casa before
doing SO, and rests his right to make these
appointments upon the last clause of the
section of the second article of the constitu-
ton. namely:-'The president shall have
power to fill all vacancies which may happen
during recess of the senate by granting
commissions which shall expire at the end
of their next session. The construction
put upon the words may happen by the
president is understood to give them the
effect of the words may happen to exist
This has been held to be their real meaning
by the department of justice under several
administrations since the tenure of office
act was passed. But some of the account
ing officers of the treasury are not certain it
would be safe for them to approve the &C
counts of officers of that class under section
1872 of the revised statutes, which provides
an imprisonment of not more than ten years
or fine of not more than $4,000, or both
for allowing the accounts of persons ap-
pointed contrary to the provisions of the
tenure of Office act.

KANSAS KIDNAPPERS.

Two Citizens of Southwestern Kansas De-
tanned Forlibly Against Their Will.
TOPEKA, August 28.-The Wood-Price
kidnapping affair is the talk of the state.
Nothing definite has been learned of the fate
of Colonel Wood, or of Price who accom-
panied him when the mob overlook and
captured them. The following letter was
received this morning by Colonel Mackey,
the law partner of Colonel Sam Wood,
which gives the impression that the two have
been dealt forcibly.
"WooDsDALE, August, 26, 1886.
"Mr. Mackey.
ssS1R:-- Since I dispatched you they have run
Wood and Price to No Mans Land and
very probably murdered them. l am using
every endeavor to save them, but we are
thinly settled and poorly armed, and have
no legal advice or process to be obtained.
If you can get troops sent do SO, If not, get
a United States marshal here as soon as
possible, for there will be much trouble. I
have written Mr.. Brady, Strong City.
''Yours, Etc, s o. AUBERY,
"Hartland, Hamilton county, Kas."
Mr.. Mackey was at the executive and
other state departm ents comforting with the
state officers. Governor Martin Was absent
from the city until this afternoon, and moth
ing could be learned as to how he regarded
the affair or what action he intended taking.
The governor assures all of the confidence
he has in the good sense of the people who
are unfortunately mixed up in the affair,
and says he thinks there can be no bodily
harm done Wood or Price. In reference to
the dispatches sent to officers of Finney
county, the governor: "My opinion is that
Sheriff Fulton, who is not only very inteli-
gent man but man of iron nerve and ex-
cellent judgment, has gone to the scene of
the trouble and in the end can as near
straighten out matters satisfactorily as any
one. This was also his explanation of the
reason Fulton has not as yet answered the
attorney generals message.
What the ultimatum Of the governor will
be is a poser as yet. Colonel Mackey,
the law partner of Colonel Wood, said in an
interview, 81 am not 80 sure that any bodily
harm has actually been dore and will await
developments before jumping at such con

A Family Problem.

a E1mny ErODlom.
Detroit Free Press.
Inthis matter of marrying and giving IN
marriage I have struck an authentic as
well as modern instance, which has rat
tied me as badly at "Punch, brothers
punch, with Care" once got away will
the mental equilibrium Of confidins
public. Call it the marital labyrinth
Hymen's paradox, the "what-am- I-any.
how" or anything else you please.
1t has set my head going like tee
totum-you are welcome to it, hoping
five minutes attention will find you en-
joying the same blessing.
A father, con, and grandson married
three sisters.
That looks simple enough, doesn't it?
1t hasn't dawned on you yeti
Well, see here:
l. Amos, the father, married Abigail.
2. Benjamin, son of Amos, married
Betsy.
8. Charles, con of Benjamin, married
Caroline.
What then?
Amos is brother to his son.
Amos is brother to his grandson.
Amos is grandfather to his daughter.
Amos is grandfather to his sister.
Amos is father to his wife.
Amos is father to his grandson.
Amos is his own grandfather, his OWE
sor and brother-in-law to himself.
Benjamin is brother to his father.
Benjamin is brother to his son.
Benjamin is brother to his mother.
Benjamin is brother to his daughter.
Benjamin is the son of his sister.
Benjamin is the husband of his sister.
Charles is brother to his father.
Charles is brother to lis grandfather.
Charles is brother to his mother.
Charles is brother to his grandmother.
Charles is grand nephew to his mother.
Charles is grand nephew to his wife.
Charles is the grandchild of his aunt
Charles is married to another aunt.
Charles is the con of his aunt.
Charles is the husband of his sister.
There are several other things which
it would strain my intellect to think of.
Figure it out yourself, if you please.
Go at it thoroughly, comprehensively.
Don't give it up. But remember there
still remains the relationship Of the
women to wrestle with.
When you get that all settled to your
satisfaction, I will simply add that each
of these couples are blessed with several
children. Now tackle that and see where
you will fetch up. And yet not one of
these people are idiots, not one is in a
lunatic asylum. Perhaps the secret of
their immunity is that they don't bother
their heads about their double and-twis
ed relationship at all.
