NEW YORK, March. 27-There
was terrific explosion of dynamite
at McKelligott's powder factory, at
White Plains, this morning,-two
workmen, whose names are I'M
known, are missing. Stray pieces
of human flesh and two dinner pals,
found near the scene, tell the story
of their fate. The factory is entirely
destroyed, and the farm houses in
the vincinity are badly shattered,
particularly the house of Mr.. Land
ers about a quarter OF a mile away.
The conclusion was terrific, and was
felt for miles around. In White
Plains large plate glass windows IN
Rascht's grocery store were broken,
the chimney on the residence OF
State Senate Judiciary Clerk James
FL. Moran was partly blown down,
and doors we're forced open in many
instances.

A COMPARATIVELY new and very pecu-
liar society, which is not recorded in the
national list of associations. known as the
Shut In Society, has just been discovered.
This singular organization consists Of about
/, 800 members who are scattered through
out the world, never hold meetings, never
see each other, but are acquainted only by
correspondence and an exchange Of photo
graphs. 1t consists for the most part Of
iuvalids who have been confined to their
rooms for the greater part Of their lives,
hence the peculiar name. The society was
organized in August, 1885, by some chart
table persons, who love to see the helpless
happy. They exchange letters Of sympa-
thy, and all, confined as they are, work to-
gether for the happiness Of the Others.
Such an organization should prosper, as it
has no expenses, and adds infinitely to the
comfort, JOY and happiness Of the invalids.

THE OLD ROMAN.

No name IN the country is wOrthier to
he placed on the Democratic ticket besides
that of GROVER CLEVELAND than that of
ALLEN G. THURMAN.
The personal strength Of no man in the
Democratic party is so great as to secure
for him so hearty and unanimous q sun
mons from the people to leave retirement
and return to the service of the State, were
the name not also associated with great
principle. ALLEN G. THURMAN, in the
eyes of the voters Of the country, IS as thor
oughly a representative of the rights of
the whole people, as against the demands
of privileged classes, as is the hOnOred
President Of the United States, who is
again to lead his party to victory.
1t is natural that the people should turn
to Mr.. THURMAN at this time, in spite Of
his years-whieh are lees than those under
which Mr.. GLADSTONE still maintains an
earnest, tireless fight in the politics Of
Great Britain, or than those which press
upon Prince BISMARCK, who governs Ger
many in fact and is the arbiter of Europe,s
destinies. Senator THURMAN stands more
clearly for the peoples opposition to the
greed Of corporations than does any other
one man in the country, as President
CLEVELAND has become the embodiment
of the peoples opposition to the mainten-
anos of war taxes for the enrichment of the
few.
As the two men thus represent two
phases of the same true principle in the
economic conflict about to be fought, 90
there is the fullest personal accord between
them.
CLEVELAND and THURMAN Such q
ticket is invincible.
