library building should not be at least as
handsome a structure as the State, War

be evident 10 everyone who gives the sub

POWDER EXPLOSION.

-Four Men Killed and One Probably
Fatally Injured.
OAKLAND, August 24th.-At Ills clock
to-day an explosion occurred in the drying
room of the Judson Giant Powder Works,
ct Fleming's Point, West Berkeley. There
were 1000 pounds of black powder in the
room. The building, 40xl20 feet, was en-
tirely demolished. Two white men and
three Cinnamon were killed, and one white
man wounded.
The men killed were Joseph Law, aged
55, unmarried, and Chris Bunce, of West
Berkeley, who leaves a widow and three
children The name of the wounded man
Ia Peter Jansen. He was taken to the Ger
man Hospital, San Francisco. and may
recover.
Al o'clock the bodies OF Bunce and two
OF the Cinnamon had been recovered.
The roof of the house was lifted off and
carried about hundred feet, and the de-
bris scattered over large space, The
debris took fire and large force of men
were set to work and kept busy keeping
it away from the magazine.
The Coroner was telephoned for and ar
rived about 1870. Efforts are being made
to End the bodies of the Cinnamon.
The explosion was felt in Oakland. The
cause of the explosion could not be ascer-
tanned. The powder is dried by passing
over belts heated to 1852 by steam, and it is
supposed that an explosion was caused by
q spark or by conclusion.
Jansen is the only man who escaped
alive to tell how it occurred, and he was so
badly injured as to be unable to tell. It is
supposed that he attempted 10 get out
The reason that more damage was not done
was that the building was not close one.
The loss is about $4,000

AxTELL AND THE RECORD.
CHICAGO, August 24th.-The Tribune
claims that the 2-year-old Axtells phenom-

go on record, for the reason that the Judges
announced in introducing the horse that it
was to trot against its own record of 2:314
for cup. This was done in the first heat
in 2:30f, and that the following perform
ance, in which his surprising record was
made, was simply an exhibition, and has
no place on the record.

MONTREAL, August 2lth.-The extra

The general opinion is that if President
