PHILADELPHIA, January %. = A
special from Jenkintown says: A
terrific explosion, the effects of which
were felt for miles around, occurred
about 10 O'Clock this morning, at the
dynamite factory, at Bethayers Station,
five miles above here, on the North
Pennsylvania road. -Four men were
engaged in-the- manufacture of
dynamite cartridges, when large
can of the stuff exploded, tearing
the building to pieces, and blowing the
workmen INFO the air and landed them,
torn and bleeding. many yards away.
John CASTOR had his left arm torn from
the socket and d great opening made In
his side. The fierce of the explosion
was so great that the earth was rent in
many places hundreds of yards away.
Huge pieces of timber were sent flying
as far as though they were so many
chips; while every pane of window glass,
within half mile of the spot, was shat
tered into fragments.

The Church in America.

BALTIMoRF, January 25.-A special
correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun at
Rome writes: A number OF important
changes in connection with the govern
ment of the Catholic Church in the
United States are contemplated, though
nothing has been formulated yet.
It is agreed upon in ecclesiastical cir
cles, that Archbishop Williams, OF
Boston, will be made cardinal at the
consistory III March. The vacant arch
bishopric of New Orleans is set down
generally to Rev. 4 l.. Chappele. of st.
Matthews church, Washington, D. c.,
though q few think that Bishop
Janssens, of Na,eh'z, Mississippi.
may be the one promote. {.
Bishop Ireland Of st. Paul, will lie
an archbishop much sooner than IVES
expected. Before the end of spring, the
Pope will decree division OF the arch
diocese of Milwaukee, which has grown
too large for one prelate, to the governor
elect, division of it into an arch
bishopric, at the head of which Bishop
Ireland will go as soon as the resigna-
ton of Bishop Kean, of Richmond,
which is now in the Vatican, is accepted,
to allow him officially to assume his
duties as pastor of the proposed Amer
lean University. Rev. DR.. O'Connell,
rector of the American College, in this
city, will be made his successor.
DR.. O'Connell is at present
secretary at Rome for the American
bishops. 1t Is intended to relieve him
of the secretaryship and transfer its
cares to Rev. DIR. Farrelly. of New
York, who has taken up his quarters at
the American College. Ihe CORE
spondent declares on the authority OF
member of the Papal hol sehold, that
the Pope will pay no attention to the
iealousies of the German priesthood in
America, or of Irish Influence in the
church, and that he will on recognize
American citizens on this side OF the
water.

Hopkins Tessifes.

CINCINNATI, January 25.-Ben. E..
Hopkins took the witness stand this
afternoon, in his own behalf. He said
he was employed oy Harper two weeks
before the Fidelity Bank opened, as
assistant cashier, at a salary of 81 600
per year. He was to solicit business
and meet customers coming to the
bank. Theinception Of the wheat deal,
he said, was this: Harper asked him
for q competent broker. He named
several, and Harper chose Hoyt, and
directed him to buy 500, 600 bushels
OF wheat the next day. Harper
said he cid not want to be
known in the matter at all. Hopkins
was to act simply as messenger between
Harper and Hoyt, and was to receive no
compensation. He explained how, in
doing this, he gave his checks, which
were to serve Simply as receipts. He
also explained how Hoyt obtained his
drafts In the settlement of his business
with Harper. Ali negotiations for
wheat between Harper and Hoyt were
carried on through the witness. Hoyt
suggested that the account be named
account. All drafts to Hoyt were
provided for Harper. Harper always
told witness that, he was not buying
wheat through Wiltshire, and the
first that witness knew of the
enormous transactions with Wiltshire
was when Harper confess ed to him in
jail. Harper told him that Mackey in
California, PlankintOn and the Stand
ard OIL Company, at Cleveland, were
buying largely. Harper told him, in
MAY, that he had made million on
his wheat, and often told me he was
worth 5000 600 in mills, real estate
ana bank STOCK. Witness said so far
from knowing that the bank was in.
danger, he had advised his own daugh.
tiers. married women, to buy Fidelity
stock to the amount of 50 500, thus
running the whole. family. His own
holdings in. the bank wore but ten shares.
