4 TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
TWO PERSONS KILLED AND NEARLYA
HUNDRED INJURED,

a Store Building Blown TO Atoms by
Explosion of a Barrel of Gasoline-De-
structive Storms In Kansas, Ohio and
Pennsylvania.
BALTIMORE, May 90. A special to the
Sun from Frederick, Md, says: A ten
rible accident occurred at 2 O'Clock from
the effects of an explosion of a barrel of
gasoline in the cellar of the grocery store
of Charles E. Sellers, corner Market and
South streets. Two persons were killed
and from 90 to 100 injured. A public
alarm was quickly given, and in a few
minutes che several fire companies were
on the spot. Dense volumes of smoke
rolled u of the cellar, bat the firemen
got actively to work and were just about
ready to throw a stream of water upon
the flames when a terrific explosion oc-
Cured. The large and heavy plate glass
windows were shivered and The small
pieces Were sent with great force
across the street. AT the same
time the whole brick front Of
the resident portion Of the structure
fell outward with a loud crash, followed
by the almost entire demolition of the
ware house and back building of the es-
Enlistment. In an instant afterward
the most agonizing shrieks and screams
were heard, and the crowd of people who
gathered to sea the fire ran in every di-
rection. 1t was soon learned what a ter
rible sickening work had been done.
Many of those who a few minutes had
left their homes to stay the flames
were now returning with their faces,
heads and arms either burned or covered.
with blood. Some walked alone; some
were led, while others were carried upon
stretchers into the yard and residences
near by. All the physicians and sur
geons in the city were soon on the
ground dressing the wounds of
the injured, and the priests
of the noyitiate CAV dissolution,
and spiritual comfort to those of their
flocks. The scene WAS sickening. Women
and children rushed to and fro wringing
their hands, crying and imploring by
ISLANDERS to tell them whether their faith
ers, brothers or sons were among the in
jured. 1t is impossible at this hour to
obtain d list of the killed and injured.
1t is believed that over 100 persons was
killed and injured.
The loss to Mr.. Sellers is 81, 900.

out plank. A demand will probably
be made for a revision and reduction of
the tariff, and several of the resolutions
viii follow after the lines of the plat
form adopted by the Union Labor CON
yention at Cincinnati. Several of the
delegates united in a request to the pro-
prietor of Grand hotel, where the head
quarters OF the national committee are
located, that this bar of the&thouse
be closed until the convention
was over. The reply was a refusal,
courteous but emphatic, and as hsarly
every room in the house has been en-
gagged by the eastern delegates, while
the capacity of all other hotels is over
taxed, the sensitive ones had no alter
native but to submit. No other name
besides Gen. Fiske is mentioned for the
presidential nomination, while as his
running mate Green Clay !Smitk and
George w. Balm of Kentucky, Joshua
lowering, the Baltimore coffee min man
ufacturer, John A. Brooks of Kansas
City, and John Tanner of Wisconsin, all
have their supporters. Ex-Gov. st. John
will be the permanent chairman.

it in his power to render his party an
inestimable service, n it is thought
that this view of the matter may secure
his assent. If he objects that he is too old
he will be told that he need take no partin
the campaign, and that the duties of vice
president are Of an honorary character.
He can absent himself from Washington
just as much as he chooses; he caz. have
the $4,000 for spending money, and go to
the senate whenever it suits him. Whati is
mainly relied on to overcome his natural
reluctance to accept the second place on
the ticket is the suggestion thath his name
would greatly increase his party's
chances of success. Col. Morrison is
now en- route to st. Louis.
