Jenkntown says terrific explosion the effects
of which were felt for miles around, occurred
about 10 o'clock this morning at the dynamite
factory at Bethayer's station. few miles above
on the North Pennylvania railroad. Four men
were engaged in the manufacture of dynamite
cartridges when a large can OF the deadly stuff
exploded, tearing the building to pieces and
blowing the unfortunate workmen into air and
landing them torn and bleeding manv yards
away. All were dangerously injured. John
CASTOR, ayoung man not than twenty
three years of age, had his left arm torn from
the socket and great opening made in his side
exposing his vitais. The force of the explosion
was great that the earth was rent in many
places a hundred yards away, timbers sent fly
ing afar, while every pane of window glass
within a half mile of the spot was shattered in
TO fragments. Physicians were summoned to
the aid of the wounded mon speedily as pos
sible, and everything done to ease their suffer
ings. 1t is thought that all may recover except
young CASTOR.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. %. Considerable excite
rent was created yesterday at Pass Christian
by the discovery of a pot OF buried treasure.
Gotta Narcisse. a colored man. was blowing in a
vacant lot owned by Nicholas Buchert, when
the point. On looking to see what he had struck
he found curiously shaped jar. such as are still
used inr Mexico and South American countries
to hold water. The jar was broken and found
to be nearly full of silver coin. They examined
and counted the coin. and found 209 silver half
dollars OF American coinage and two quarter
pieces, ranging in date from 1874 to 1926. The
remaining contents consisted of Spanish and
Mexican piasters and small coins. the dates from
112O to 1929. The value of the whole is esti-
mated at 1926. AS to how it got there the most
plausible theory is that it was buried by old
negro named Charlo. who was a slave of Nine
Azmar. one of the first settlers of the Pass. His
cabin stood near the spot, and being miser, it
is naturally supposed that be hid his hoard in
the ground about the year 1880.

Fort WAYNE, Jan 25.-The fight between
the water-works trustees and the Common Coun-
eli took on another aggravated phase at last
nights Council meeting, when a special COM
mittee reported in favor of calling the trustees
to sharp account for their management of the
affairs OF the water-works, and City Attorney
Colerick submitted articles of Impeachment for
malfeasance in Office In these articles the trus-
tees are charged with ignoring the law and
pending money contracts without inviting
competition from contractors, and with making
and against all law and usage. The Council
ordered five DAYS notice to be given to the
trustees to appear and justify them
selves, but, they claim they are not
fanswerable to the Council for their
acts. this notice will probably be ignored by
them. In their annual report which was part

Excitement Among South Carolina Negroes.
CHARLESTON. S. c., JAM 25.-Colored people
here are much stirred up over the reports of the
formation of an exodus association in Topeka
for the colonization of negroes in South Amer
lea. Fuel has been added to the flame by an
article published in the News and Courier yes
terday, warning negroes that there is danger OF
their being sold into slavery if they go to South
America. The article says
Slaves sell in the market in Brazil for about
$500. 1t is intlmated that hundreds of thou
sands of colored people will join the exodus. and
that the exodus association represents capital
of So 600. If 800, 600 coored people join the
exodus, and if these emigrants are sold at an.
average price of $500 head. the exodus associa-
ton would make $S8, 0OO, 900 on it's original in
vestment."

papers, and this article has created sensation

ton are already here and are in consultation

marked:

Immediately he pronounced the blessing and
dismissed the congregation. His explanation
caused sensation. Mr.. Kendrick seated
in the congregation at the time. He had gone
to Sherman some days before, and had preached
three times during last week, announcing last
Friday that he or Mr.. Sherwood would preach
Sunday. The fact of this announcement was
the cause of Mr.. Sherwood's explanation. A
heated discussion ensued. Part of the congre-
CATION stood by Mr.. Kendrick while the others
sustained the action of Mr. Sherwood. The
latter claims to have letters showing that

ployed in the city. held largely-attended meet
ing tonight and decided unanimously to stand

them notice yesterday that they must either

termination to ahere to their convictions, and
it is thought that the men will be refused work
tomorrow. The employing brewers assert that
they will find no difficulty in filing the places
of their employees. and do not expect to be iucon-

ployes GO The outlook is that, with some soli-
tary exceptions there will be no one at work IN
the breweries to- morrow.
