In insurance circles yesterday the death Of Thomas

Office great indignation expressed at the report
of a pretended conversation held with friend Of the

POWDER EXPLOSION.
Four Men Instantly Killed-several Tons of
Powder Go on.

Four Men Instantly KIlled-several Tons OF
Powder Go on.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb. 10.-At 10
O'Clock this morning severe shock was
felt in this city. Shortly sfterward 1t
was learned that violent explosion had
occurred at Dupont's Powder Works at
Wspwallopen, twenty miles from here
snd that four men were instantly killed.
Their names are: Peter Kishbangh, George
Stout, John Hoffman and B. Bethe. The
explosion took place in the packing house
where several tons of powder had been
stored. The cause Of the accident is not
yet known.
The explosion occurred at 9 :55 O'Clock
this morning. The force of the shock
was distinctly felt here. The windows in
all the buildings ratified and the officials
in the courthouse thought there was an
earthquake, as the building shook VIC
lently. At Nsntieoke and Wanomie
chimneys toppled from the roof Of build
ings and the school children ran In terror
from the school houses. Men and women
focked toward the mines and where the
members of their families were at work,
At Shrickashinny the glass in almost
every window was broken and many
persons were thrown to the ground. At
Wsllopen nearly every window was dam
aged.
Besides the killed, over forty persons
were injured, fourteen of which, 1t is
said, will die. The correct names of the
killed are: Peter Kishaugh, George
Stout, Oleon Teets and John Rossmsn.
They were blown to pieces and only
small portions of their bodies have been
found. The cause Of the accident Is not
known, as all those who were in the
building are dead.

LIGHTNING RODS.

PARIS, TEX Feb. 8, 1888.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
Ever since DR.. Franklin erected the
first lightning rod, there has been 8
diversity of opinions as to their utility.
Few persons understand the true princi-
pie Of electricity, hence, some persons
believe the most absurd theories of if,
while others reject well established
facts. In orderIto understand this SUBJ
sject an explanation is necessary IS to
how atmospheric electricity is generated,
and what laws govern its action. The
heat which rises from the earth TO the
upper atmosphere is converted into cleo
tricity by yapor Of water and hydrogen
gas. It is then called fluid, but more
properly speaking liquid, and being
subject to grsvitation, it falls to the earth.
When the atmosphere becomes charged
with it, electric currents are produced
which decompose the atmosphere.
Nitrogen moves with the current, while
oxygen moves sgsinst the current and
brushes electricity back into heat, csus-
ing an explosion the light be-
ing produced by fine division of
.tAe electric current, but the
heat is electricity converted into gas.
When it is raining the quantity of electri-
city will depend on the quantity Of vspor,
hydrogen gas and heat. II the wind is
blowing while the electricity is falling to
the earth the highest objects will become

The prickley pear has been found of
immense benefit in South Texas this
year. All reports from that part Of the
state say cattle have come through with
scarcely loss. OF course there were
some stockmsn with so little
prudence as to attempt to
go through the winter without
making any provision for young and weak
cattle, even with the means they had to
easily do SO. All kinds of stock eat the
pear, cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, and
with such advantages the southern coun-
try is to be envIed by stockmen OF every
other part of the country.

A gentleman returning from trip to
Southern Texas says: The cold snap it
is true set the cattle back about two
weeks-pinched them little, but heard
of no losses, and the recent rains and
sunshine give promise Of an early and
good crop Of spring grass. And then the
new process-of which you know-of
feeding sliced cactus and cotton seed Is
doing much to sustain and fatten cattle.
l should say there were about 1000 feed
ing on this nutritious diet in Southwest
Texas. The cactus privileges are oecom-
ing so valuable that fences are being built
to guard and foster he growth.

Various topics in connection with re-
irigerstors, packeries, csnneries, etc,
are dwelt upon by Fort Worth stookmen
these days, and to Judge by the tenor Of
Conversations 1T is likely strong attempt
will be made this spring to put such an
enterprise in operation IN this city. A
stockmsn ssid yesterday: "If you want
to fill North Texas with farmers, you
must provide them with good market
upon which they csn readily dispose of
their products. With the operation Of 8
psckery in Fort Worth will come 8 de-
mand all over the state for such articles Of
fodder IS will be required for the susten-
snce OF cattle awaiting slaughter, or
upon the market. And besides
Eks great many feeding cattle will be re-
quired which will not be shipped here
from the north, the feeding to keep the
packery working will have to be all done
in Texas. The maturing Of sll Texas
bred cattle right here in the state, and
the raising of feed for such maturing will
be one of the foremost results OF the es-
tablishnent Of the packery. This enter
prise deserves the support OF all classes
Of people, not only in this city, but in
every part Of the state where these con-
comitant industries are carried on"
