LOOKS LIKE CORN MEAL.
A New Explosive More Powerful
Than Dynamite and Less Dam
gerOus to Handle.

NEW BRITAIN, Conn.,, Oct. 31.-Ru-
dolph Ericsson, young Swede. is en-
ployed in a drug store in this city. Be-
fore he came to America he worked
with his uncle in a gunpowder factory
in the old country, and together they
experimental to find new explosive
that would be as powerful as dynamite,
but less dangerous to handle. A few
months ago young Ericsson received
letter from his uncle, in which the lat
ter stated that his experiments had at
last been successful. He incloSed the
formula of the new eXplO-
sive, and Rudolph got it pat
ented under the name of ''eXtralite."
The new explosive looks like moist
cornmeal. 1t can be made as easily as
cOrnmeal can be cooked. and in much
the same way. Last week MIR. Erics
SOL made quantity of it in stove IN
Curran'S drug store, and then expert
mented with it before some persons
whom he is trying to interest in its
manufacture. A mass of rock at Shut
tie Meadow mountain was selected as
the scene of the experiments. The first
few trials were to prove that the MKT
ture could not be exploded in the open
air. A small fire was started and two
pounds of extralite were put in it. The
stuff would neither explode nor burn.
1t was then thoroughly mixed with
kerosene oil, when about half of it
burned, but did not explode. A small
dynamite cartridge was inserted in
a roll of the stuff. The cart
fridge exploded with fuse, but
the extraite did not explode
When some of the substance was placed
OH flat stone and struck with ham,
mer, the only result was to reduce it to
a finer powder. A hole two feet deep
was drilled in the hardest rock to be
found in neighboring quarry. Three
rolls of the explosive, each containing
three ounces. were tamped down in the
hole and connected with fuse. The
explosion shook the ground and the air
was filled with flying boulders. The
result achieved would have required
two pounds of gunpowder or one pound
of dynamite, while only nine ounces Of
eXtralite were used. The manufacture
of the explosive will be commenced in
New Britain at once. The street COM
miSsiOners of Hartford have decided to
use it in the city's quarries. The French
government is said to have paid one
million francs for the right to use it. 81

He was very angry and could not con-

THE SITUATION.
How the Two Parties Stand in the
First District.

Special TO the Globe.
ROCHESTER,, Oct. 31.-The canvass
has been conducted in the First district
on the part of the Democrats with
silence; on the part of the Republicans
with wild claims uniustilied by any
past circumstances. On the one side
has been quiet organization; on the
other hombast, pyrotechnics and the i'll
Vason of doubtful localities by doubt
full men. Judge Wilson has been calm
and deliberate in all that he has done;
Mr. Dunnell passionate, inconsistent
and in some instances almost maud
lin--fOr if ever man has
pleaded with the men of his
own party to be forgiven of his sins and
restored TO grace it has been Mark II.
Dunnell. And / am quite willing to
confess that this lachrymal mode of
campaigning has helped Mir. Dunnell to
a certain extent and given him strength
where, under other circumstances. he
would have had none. In 1882, when
the congressional districts of the state
were reorganized and the Old first was
shorn of half of its strength, the de-
cadence of Republican power in South
eastern Minnesota began. Note the
Republican congressional vote for three
elections.

lowed Lovely two years ago, in his let

Harwood and others could bear testi-

myself. it is due to Mr.. Dunnell for me
to say that during the nine years held
official positions at the hands of Mr..
Dunnell he never assessed me one
single dollar, OF even one penny. What
