The directors of the Metropolitan railroad at
their meeting on Wednesday reelected George
Pearson, president; William W. Moore secre-
tary, and L. w. Emmert, superintendent. 1t is
but two years this month since the manage

newed and the whole placed in thorough condi-
tl"n- Inc number Oi cars has been Increased
by more than third, the speed of running
nearly doubled, the pay of the men largely in

satisfy urgent need of the public due 10 the
crowded condition of the One-norse cars several
large cars with two horses, have been put ON,
tO be rapidly followed by others. 1t is now

Public Lands, called up the bill declaring
the.forfeiture Of the Ontlniagon and Brule
river land grant.
Mr. Payson characterized the organiza-
tion of the Ontoniagon and Brule River
Company as speculative one, and from
its commencement to the present time it
had been a barefaced attempt at robbery.
He ridculed the construction of the road
and asserted that miles of the road had
no other ballast than ice and snow. He
produced photographs of various sections
of the road and commented upon them,
much to the amusement of the mem
bers of the House The photographs
representing bridge he declared to be
bumped like camel and backed like a
whale that a section of mile in length
showed but one railroad tie while a $50
foot cut was shown as being filled with
logs and brush. The bill was passed with
out division. 1t forfeits 3S4 500 acres.
The House then proceeded with the
consideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill
The bill was discussed by Messrs. Ian
ham (of Texas, Herbert (of Alabama),
and Randall (of Pennsylvania, until 3
o'clock, when the committee rose and the

A Terrific Explosion.

COLUMBUS, ONO, December 11.-At
- minutes past II o'clock to-day our cit
liens were startled from their dinner
tables by terrific shock, that was quickly
followed by a general fire alarm, and
rushed into the streets panic strick-
en-. 1t was soon found that an ex-
posion had occurred at the Columbus
Company's buggy works. As this Com
pany employs over one thousand men,
the relatives Of the employees came
running from all directions with anxious
faces. The time of the explosion was
very opportune, as nearly all the men had
left for dinner. The building is a six
story one, and is total wreck, and the
firemen are still throwing water on the
ruins. 1t is not known yet whether the
boiler exploded or dust-pipe, the ruin
being so complete. Joe Brown, the jani-
tor, is thought to be fatally wounued. 1t
is certain that there are three or four
dead bodies in the ruins, but their names
cannot vet be ascertained

CHARLOTTE, N. c., December IA
serious accident befell Captain Cartwell,
freight conductor of the Spartanburg and
Asheville railroad, at Campabella, S. c.,
to-day, which will very probably result
in costing him one of his legs and arms.
While shifting cars he was knocked
down by the engine, which ran over and
crushed his left arm and right leg. He
was carried to Spartanburg, where physi-
clans thought amputation of the limbs
would become necessary.
