BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Three Men Lose Their Lives In q
Powder Mill Explosion.
Tho Town of Crossona, Pa, and Surrounds
ing Country Shaken As by an
Earthquake.

READING, Pa, Sept. 27.--A horrible affair
took place at Latin s. Rand's Powder
Works, near Cressona, twenty-five miles
from here yesterday. One OF the work
men trod on rock, producing spark
which caused the explosion. Every thing
was wrecked for squares around. -Four
of the powder company's houses were
blown to atoms. Samuel Feltzen,
of Beckville, aged 90, and VIM.
Sprott, aged 30, employees, were liter
ally blown to pieces. Their remains
had to be gathered up in bags and bas-
kets Henry Reed was driving past the
powder house with horse and cart just
then, and not a square inch of his body
has been found. The neighboring trees
were bespattered with blood and frag-
ments of horse and man. George
Kipp, James Kaltner, Albert Zessman
and James Kinsel are among the most
seriously injured. The two former may
die. Portions of the buildings and ma
chinery were hurled $50 feet, and the
shock was felt five and six miles away.
Many people thought it was an earth
quake. There is not a house in Cressona
whose window-glass was not all shat
tered. There was great deal Of powder
in the mill, and it went up with terrific
force

POSTAL SCHEMES.
New and Extensive System OF
Rapid Postal Trains,
Also Pneumatic Tubes From 'oficc Build
ings to Post-Omces.

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Captain James
Stuart, Post-office Inspector, and MEM
ber of the recent post-office commission,
was shown recent dispatch from Wash
ington, concerning new and extensive
system of rapid postal trains and pneu-
matte tubes for Chicago. THAT is
Clarkson's pet idea. We discussed that
thoroughly during the session of the
commission" Then, it can be assured
that Chicago is to have fast mail train
to San Francisco via. st. Louis, and anoth-
er to Cincinnati, Chattanooga, Atlanta
and Jacksonville, and also another, via
st. Louis, to New Orleans?" eyes, sir,
those were the subjects discussed. AS
it is now we are compelled to depend on
the slow express trains for mail service
to these points. Another thing: The
present fast mail trains on the Burling-
ton and st. Paul roads do not make even
as good time as the regular schedule
trains to New York and those between
New York and Boston and Philadel-
phia The scheme is to put more of
them on and make better time" "How
about the proposed pneumatic tubes
running from the big Office buildings to
the post-ofiiceP" "Those improvements
are not very far away. A Chicago man
is now working upon them, endeavoring
to so perfect his system that we can APP
ply it to the postal service. Collecting
by carriers, even with horses, is too
slow. Mr.. Clarkson, tell you, is de-
termined to see perfect mail service in
Chicago, and he will aim blow at the
district messenger and telegraph service,
which now preys upon the business pub
lie to great extent. We will do away
with these, and make the postal service
accomplish every thing needed"

TRAINS HELD UP.
Two Robbcries OF n Kind on southcrn
at

Railroads.
MOBILE, Ala, Sept. 28.-The Mobile
and Ohio south-bound mail and passen-
ger train was held up yesterday morning
by train robbers at Buckatunna, Miss,
station seventy miles north of Mobile.
just before the train left Buckatunna
the train, and, climbing over. covered
Engineer Jack Thorrel and Fireman
Thomas Hist with their revol ers. The
robbers were disguised. Tho leaders
ordered the engineer to pull out
and stop at the bridge, twenty
five miles below Buckatunna, and
place the train so that the express and
mail car should be on the further side
of the bridge from the rest of the train,
the bridge being a trestle over deep
creek. The train ran rapidly down to
the spot indicated and the engineer put
the train just where the man with the
pistol wanted it. Then there appeared
third robber, disguised like the other
two. These three made the engineer
and fireman come with them to the OK
press car. The leader made Messenger
Dunning dump the contents of the safe
into n canvas sack, but noticing that
he was not closely watched, Dun
ming showed some of the money aside so
that about $1,000 was hidden, the rob-
bers getting S2,TOO. All this money be-
longed to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
Company. Alongside the express car
door was pile of 10000 Government
money en- route to Florida, which the
robbers failed to notice. The robbers
proceeded to the mail car and Sc
cured number of registered letters.
The robbers then disappeared in the
woods and the train proceeded.
FIT. WORTH, Tex, Sept 26.-Last
night, as the north-bound Santa Fe train
was pulling out of Crowley, south of
this city, three men boarded the train
and two others jumped on the locomo-
tive. The two on the engine placed pis-
tolls to the heads of the engineer and
fireman, and told them to stop. The
robbers cut the engine, baggage, mail
and express cars from the rest of the
train, and made the engineer pull half
a mile further. One of the men then
got into the express car and ordered
the messenger to show them tho
money. He pointed to three bars of
Mexican silver. One of the men ripped
open a sack and shoveled the silver out
of the door, while the other one threw
out the other sacks. They took two
packages said to contain $1,000 each, but
overlooked three or four money pack
ages for Ft. Worth. The engineer was
then made to couple up and move. The
train reached here at midnight, and a
posse of twenty men started in pursuit
at once

PALATrNE BRIDGE, N. Y, Sept. 2s.---
The st. Louis Express No. 8, which left
Albany at 10 o'clock last night, met
with bad accident about two miles east
of here about midnight. The first sec
tion broke down and stopped for repairs.
The rear brakeman was sent back to
signal the second section, but for some
unknown reason failed to perform his
duty. The engineer OF the Sec
ond section says he did not see
him, and the first thing he saw
was the lights of the first section di-
rectly in his front. The first section
was made up of baggage, mail, express
and three passenger cars, packed with
people, and a Wagner sleeper on the
end. The crash was terrific. The Sec
ond section telescoped into the first Sec
tion, knocking out the lights and plung-
ing every thing into darkness. Up to
this hour e a. n.y. five bodies have been
taken out of the sleeper, and it is feared
that the total number of deaths will run
up to twenty-five, and possibly more, as
the car was full. 1t is difficult to get
particulars at this hour. 1t was just by
q miracle that the disaster was not rem
dered tenfold more terrible. Within
five minutes after the crash the meat
express car came tearing along on the
fourth track at the rate of thirty miles
an hour. 1t was stopped just in time,
else it would have dashed into the debris
of the wreck. The second Atlantic ex-
press, due in New York at 1880 in the
morning, was also hailed at the station
just as it was pulling out. A man just
from the wreck says that they have al
ready taken four bodies from the Wag-
ner sleeper, and it is not yet known
how many more there may be under the
wreck. Doctors are hurrying to the
scene Of the disaster from all parts Of
that section.

A COOL OFFICE BOY.
His Impudence Is Pronounced Enoug

His Impudenco Is Pronounced Enough to
Make Saint Profano.
In one of the biggest law offices in
this city there is employed little
pale-faced boy whose bright eyes are
thing. He doesn't care much what il
is so that it violates some of the rules
laid down by his employer or seems to
him to be wrong or needful Of correc-
ton. His contempt for wealth and
power is unsurpassed, and he will de-
tect some slight fracture of the rules
by famous man and chide him as
quickly as though he were the poorest
client on the list ofhis employers. His
little desk is near the entrance, and
here he sits throughout the day with
his pointed chin in his hands and his
eyes fixed upon some bloody tale OF
hairbreadth escapes. But his wits are
always on edge and the fall of the
lightest footstep without causes him to
prick up his ears and listen with every
fiber of his body. When the person
enters he asks:
WHO did you wish to seep"
"Mr. -"
"What did you wish to see him
aboutp"
Il will tell him."
"Very we'll"
Then the boy resumes his reading
and the visitor, after "a puzzled glance
at the row of little offices. says:
"Please tell Mr.. - that Mr.. Smith
is out here and would like to see him."
What aboutp"
'Rless your impudence. what's that
TO youp"
The boy returns wearily to his book
and pays no further attention to any
thing outside OF it until Mr.. Smith
weakens and says:
"Tell him want to see him about
that Blank matter"
Then the boy looks up and says, with
an air OF renewed interest in life:
30. but you can't, cause Mr.. -
isn't in. He has just stepped out"

GAINESVILLE, Sept. 3o.-A singing
mouse has domesticated itself in the
hardware store of L. s. A. Rodgers, of
this place, and is attracting great deal
Of attention. The little fellow is re-
markably talented songster, and his
trills and warblings would rival those
Of a canary, while he also pos
sesses much of the initiative genius of
the mocking-bird, in that he often
breaks out in the full, round notes of
many of our song-birds. This rodent
prodigy of song keeps up an almost con-
slant warbling or trilling, and is having
large number of people to hear him,
who wonder at his strange and wonder
full accomplishments.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. GA fright
full accident happened at Carnegies Ed
gar Thomson Steel Works, at Braddock,
last night. Captain w. R. Jones, gen.
eral manager of the immense steel
works, and a number of workmen were
perhaps fatally burned. Physicians at
tending Captain Jones could not state
last night as to his chances for
recovery. Furnace &c" one the
largest of the blast furnaces,
gave way at the bottom, and tons of
molten metal, like water escaping from
reservoir, ran out. The furnace had
not been working properly during the
day, and Captain Jones called last even
ing to see if he could not ascertain the
cause. He was working with a number
of men near the base of the furnace
when the break occurred. In an
instant flames of fire shot forth, and the
hot metal exploded and fell like
metal poured out of the furnace, and
that any person near the furnace es-
capped instant death is regarded as al
most a miracle. The five thousand
workmen at the Edgar Thomson Steel
Works and hundreds of people in Brad
dock are frantic with grief on account of
the injuries which Captain Jones has
received. Captain Jones is we'll known
throughout the United States and Eu-
rope wherever iron and steel are manu-
factured. He receives a salary of S25, 1000
year and per cent. on the product of
the large mill, making his income al
most $50, 900 year. 1t was he who
took three hundred men to Johnstown
at his own expense, couple of days
after the flood, and remained there
couple of weeks directing the work of
rescue. He is perhaps sixty years of
age. At midnight Captain Jones was
resting easy. The physicians say he
will recover, and that his face will not
be disfgured. Two of the others will
die
