A Fatal Explosion.


BRADFoRD, Pa, Aug. 24.-At 0 O'Clock las
I night i've men were killed and several Others
injured by the explosion of an iron pipe on
the balcony Of DR.. Reid's Office No. rs Main
street. The pipe was improvised as a feeder
for red and blue fire powder, the powder
dropping through the pipe onto a projecting
natural gas torch. The pipe exploded with
a deafening noise, shattering the balcony and
splitting the pipe into fragments. One OF
the flying pieces Of iron struck Robert Hur-
ley, who was standing on the opposite side
of the street. tearing away the whole top of
his head, killing him instantly. w. Z.
Curtis. Of Rev City, was also struck with one
of the flying fragments, as was also Ed. Duel,
Of this city. Duel died almost instantly.
Curtis is still alive, but will die. NJ. Albert
had an arm blown of, and Mrs. MeCom-
Der lost a leg. Several other women and
children were more or less injured, but their
names and the extent oftheir injuries cannot
be ascertained. The explosion occurred on
the main t~horoughfare, where thousands of
people had gathered to witness the night
parade Of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Maa Robbery.

NEW YoRK. Aug 2i.-Deteciives and 9TH
er Posf-ofice officials are earnestly st work
endeagoring 10 run down the thief who stole
a registered package Of $1,000 while it was
being transported from Portland. Oregon. to
the Chemical National Bank Of this city.
The stolen money was contained in 8 pouch
with fAy-eight Others, and is loss was only
discovered when the pouch was regularly
opened In the registered letter department Of
the New York Postotfice Friday last. Since
then the work Of searching for the thief has
been carried on, and the publicity of the fact
Of the theff was only made to-day. The
source Of this information is as great a mys-
terry 70 Postmaster Pearson as the loss of the
money. It was desirable to keep matters
quiet until the thief was discovered. Various
elews are being followed up, and the pro-
gress thas far made is kept secret for obvious
reasons. So far as--could be learned to-day
them men engaged In the case have not yet do
cided At what point the package was abstract
cd. The fact that the pouch reached this
city uninjured Is conclusive proof that the
ro5ber was In possession OF a duplicate key.
The Chemical Bank officials. 10 which the
package was addressed, say they have no
money interestin it whatever. The pack
age was sent by the First National Bank Of
Portland, Oregon. to their credit in the
New York drafts, to be used by the Western
bank in drawing on New York.
The cashier of the Chemical Bank said
that as the money never reached that bank
it was in no way liable for the loss. Inspec-
tor Dosser and Postmaster Pearson would
not say whether any employee of the New
York Postofiice was suspected. No arrests
have been made.

There i a eertain rich man in New
York, currently reported to be out Of
health, who is spending his SIMMER In
cheerful mortnzry pursuits. On tits sub
ieet a writer in the Brooklyn EBgk has
picked the up following points:
The architects who design his houses
and yachts for him are just now hard at
work on the drawings for a tomb that is
10 be at nee the biggest N 1st ora ate aui
most thoroughly burglar-proof resting
place in this country. Il viii reach some
hundred OF more feet in the air. cover
nearly half an acre Of ground, require
something like three years to complies
the rich and beautiful sculptures with
which it win be adorned, and the vault
TO contain the ashes Of the dead p~lutocrat
is a marvel Of mechanical ingenuity. In
the frat place, the ~ponderons slabs Of
marble forming the four sides Of the re-
ceptacle for the coffin are nearly three
feet in thickness. The upper n moves
on springs as smoothly az a door, but on
" when certain intricate combinations
have been carried out on the lock, and
any fumbling with the fastenings by a
hand that does not know the proper
springs to be pressed and pllled awakens
certain engines of destruction which will
make il decidedly uncomfortable for the
fumbler. But the hardy bo~dy-snatcher
would hove first TO penetrate through
many obstacles and difficulties before he
reached the place where he could salts
factorily blow himself into smithereens.
There is room inside Ofthis well protec-
ted tomb for two collins, hose of the
millionaire and his wife, and the coffins
are also being manufactured by a Boston
firm, and will cost in the neighborhood
Of 5000 a piece. They are made of solid
mahogany seven inches thick, carved in
bold relief in the most elaborate designs
all variously emblematic Of death, and
specially drawn for the carriers by Elihu
Vedder, whose stern, heavily draped
angel of the Darker Drink was exhib-
tied here last winter, its sculpturesque
beauty making a deep impression IN the
man vino is ordering all this mortuary
splendor. On the top Of the coffin is
carved a splendid hatehment, and a
broad silver scroll, exquisitely etched
with the names and dates of their births
Of the two protected occupants, occupies
4 place on the lid directly over the face
Of one who should be within.
Every available inch of the interior is
beautifed with the cutting tools, and
within is swung a silken hammock made
Of heavy twisted black silk, and with
thick silver fringes depending from the
sides. To the interior Of the lid is fasten-
ed an ivory eruciix, copied from one in
Venice, supposed to have been carved IN
the fourteenth century.

War in louisiana.

ST. MARTISsyILLE, L., August 2.-An
between negroes and whites &C.
Cured on Thursday afternoon on Bayou
Martin, nine miles from st. Martinsville
The whites had learned that tue negroes
were arniing themselves with rifles, which
had been secreted in the house of a negro
named Albert Narcisse. About 80 whites
surprised Narcisse and his brother working
in a field. The two negroes ran to the house
and attempted to barricade it. They were
fired upon and compelled TO surrender, after
Narcisse and a ten-year-old boy had been
shot. s.
Thirty guns, all new and heavily loaded
with buekshot, were found in the cabin. 1t
is not known what was done with the two
men captured. Trouble between the whites
and blacks is also feared above Breaux
bridge, as the whites had called upon the
negroes TO surrender their arms. They prob
ably will not comply with the demand.

Eighteen Persons Perish at a Fire.

NEENAH, Wis, August 23.-At 1870 last
evening the large paper mill of George Viii
ting was destroyed by fire. While burning,
the structure was surrounded by a crowd q
spectators and the battery of boilers explod-
ed, throwing the roof and walls outward and
killing eighteen persons. fatally i%njuring 10,
and less seriously w%ounding a number of
others. The mill was a three-story structure
costing 100000, and was operated day and
night. When the flames broke out 30 men
were in the building, and several hundred
spectators were as close to the building as
the intense heat would permit.
The explosion occurred about 1:30 without
the slightest warning, and scores were buried
under the ruins. Hundreds at once began
the work of recovering the bodies of the
dead and caring for the injured. Almostev-
cry body was crushed beyond recognition.

Cradles for PatagOnIan Babies

Patagonian babies are kept in cradles
made of fat pieces of board. Two pieces
of guanaco skin are so arranged across
the cradle that the child is firmly fasten-
ed inside, and can be carried thus sus-
pended from a saddle bow without dam
ger. In the rude huts of this people these
cradles are hung hammockwise TO the
rafters and amid the smoke that darkens
everything, including his very nature, as
it seems, the Patagonis infant passes
the first stages Of babyhood. When the
village migrates the cradle is swung from
the saddle, and in swimming a stream it
floats likes canoe on the surface, while
the horse is almost emit rely submerged.
Sir Francis Head, who saw a good deal
of Patagonian life years ago, leaves on
record the statement that the Patagonian
baby in his queer cradle is M of the
best natured representatives of the infant
world-Drake's Magazine.

Peculiar Industry.

There was a lively row in progress in
the cellar of one Of the large commission
houses on Duane street. The ~belligerents
were the porter of the establishment and
a stout German woman, who held in
either arm a large basket Of apparently
fresh eggs. The row itself was over the
price of the eggs, the woman claiming
that they were not worth over forty-two
cent per one hundred, while the porter
held ont stoutly for forty-fFe cents.
When the woman who failed to gain
her point had exhausted her stock Of
Berlin "billingsgate" the porter explain
ed the situation to a reporter as follows f:
"You see" he began, ''every barrel Of

woman had just bought four hundred
cracks and spots at forty-fve cents per
hundred What will she do with them ?
Why, sell them to the ice-cream saloons
and bakeries, not to mention the cheap
restaurants. She will get from five to ten
cents a dozen for them, according to
quality. The bulk of the eggs, however,
will be made into ice-cream.

B%IRNISGHAN. ALA, August 23.-A special
from jacksonville, Ala, reports the murder
of William Rattery, Reprcsentative-elec to
the State Legislature from Cherokee County,
near his home at Center, Ala. Colonel Rat
terry was returning home late in the evening
and while passing through a strip of woods
near his house was shot by some unknown
party or parties.
Colonel BATTERY was an ardent anti -Prohi-
bitionist, and was elected Representative af-
ter a heated contest. His enemies urged
during the campaign that if elected he would
vote to have whiskey turned loose on the
county. This is believed to be the cause
that led to his assassination. The widest
excitement prevails in the county between
the two opposing factions growing out of
the murder, and it is believed there will be
further bloodshed.
