persons profess to have a hiking for it.

The quiet simple and altogether digni-
fled reception of President Cleveland by
the city officials and the officers of the
Board of Trade was strictly in accord
ance with the distinct and oft repeated
requests of Mr.. Cleveland, that his visit
to st. Augustine be considered as being
made entirely in an unofficial capacity,
and not as the President of the United
States.
His manifest desire was to avoid all
ceremony, and seek in the few hours as
signed to st. Augustine, a brief respite
from. the fatigue of his Jacksonville ex-
perience. That his host, Mr.. Flagler,
should have desired earnestly and sought
diligently to have the arrangements so
made as to meet the wishes of the Presi-
dent was but natural. Notwithstanding
his knowledge OF the Presidents desires,
Mr.. Flagler undertook to personally ac-
quaint him with the earnest wishes of
the people to pay him some attention
and visited Jacksonville for that
purpose, returning with the party to
st. Augustine. 1t is fair to presume that
Mr.. Flagler carried out the purpose of
the visit and it is equally fair to assume
that the President meant no offense to
our people in SO often and SO persistently
expressing his desire for good quiet
time here. There seems no doubt that
the President was pleased with the
simple character of his reception, and
certainly the ladies of the party were
glad to be permitted even so short a
season of rest before undergoing the
fatigue of the public reception and the
night ride and midnight transfer at Pa
latka.
The several committees are entitled to
great credit for the perfection of the ar
engagements and their successful execu-
ton, and there should be no feeling but
one of entire satisfaction on all sides at
the general result

Occurred.
ST. PAUL, February ga Duluth
special to the Pioneer Press gives Fore
man Lundborg's account of the dyna-
mite accident there yesterday. He says
it was one that would not have happened
once in thousand times. ''We drilled
five holes down sixteen feet and put in
twenty-six cartridges, blasting them off
on Monday. The blast went off all right
and shook out all the rock and blew out
all the holes except this one. The parties
who drilled this hole said they had
struck either rotten rock or clay. We
supposed that the dynamite had ex-
ploded and made hole in the rock
inside. The hole was then cleared out,
eight dynamite cartridges put in and set
off. The men asked me before this if |
was certain there was no dynamite in
or two of them seemed afraid, held the
drill while we were cleaning the hole.
This second blast tore off about nineteen
feet from the top. Tuesday afternoon
started a man again cleaning the hole.
He went ON with the work again yester-
day morning, but the men had only got
to work when the accident occurred.
One of the men holding the drill ON top
of the rock asked me If there was any
dynamite in the hole, and | told him
was sure there was none. No man re-
| fused to work at the hole"
