A DEADLY EXPLOSION.
Four Men Blown Into Eternity and
Others Seriously Injured.
A MOST PITIABLE STORY.
Destifution and Suffering Among North
Dakota settIers-No Food. No Fuel.
No CIothing-Measures Being
Taken for Their Relief.

FARGO, Oak, Jan. IA most pitiable
story of suffering among the N~orwegians
in the western part of Walsh county,
Dakota, comes in a letter from the Rev.
G. w. Richer of Park River to the Rev.
g. w. Huntley of this city. MI. Richer
reports having made a canvass of Park
River, soliciting aid for the sufferers.
The goods were distributed by two thor
ouglly reliable men, who had jnse re-
turned and reported that they distrib-
uted the goods as fairly as they could
among fifteen families, and that there
still remained between forty and fifty
families equally as destitute. The
only means of s~ustenapce they have, or
have had for cine time, is in cooking
their green frozen wheat into a sort
of porridge.. They live within the
belt where the early frosts did the great
est damage. They relied entirely on this
seasons crop to tide them over the win
ter, and this calamity left them with alb
solutely nothing. They are principally
OF the Lutheran denomination, and be-
cause accomplishing the true condition
has not before become known. Those
who bad been more fortunate in secur-
ing a crop of potatoes, turnips and other
vegetables have shared with those less
fortunate, until nov there are not
enough of these in any family to last
more than three or four days. 1t is re-
lated that the only clothing one woman
had on was a thin calico dress, not u
stitch of anything else on the body,
and no shoes or stockings,
while hundreds of others are in
little better shape, and those that arc
can not possibly withstand the trials of
cold winter. In many instances boards
have been taken from the outside of the
house to break into firewood, and should
a decided change occur in the weather it
Is but a question of a few days until
they all succumb. Provisions of all

with clothing, as one without the other
would be of but little benefit. Ministers
of denominations in Fargo will call at
tention to the matter from the pulpits,
n a committee is now at work collect
ing supplies to forward to them.

The virginia Legislature.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ton Wednesday
next, Jan. 8, the legislature of West
Virginia will convene in what promises
to be the most remarkable session in the
history of the state. Aside from the or
ganization of the two houses, which will
be of exceptional interest because of the
nearly equal division of the membership
between the two parties, there will be
the sharpest kind of a struggle over the
election of a United States senator, and
also the settlement of the contest for
governor between Judge Fleming and
Gen. Golf, while outside, and beyond all
this, the Republicans are threatening, in
retaliation for the contest begun by
Judge Fleming, to institute like proceed
ings in cases of all the other state Off
GERS, and to dispute the election of. every
one of the Democratic officers-elect, in
Guiding the members of the supreme
court. A gentleman direct from Charles
ton says that the prominent party lead
ers of both sides are on hand to assist
their friends in the organization of the
legislature and settlement of the guber-
material question. The whips Of each
side have notified their people that no
absentees must occur, as there is too
much az stake. The result will be
watched with the deepest interest at
Washington.

A Special Session OF the Iowa Legislature.
CHICAGO, Jan. IA Tribune special
special from Des Moines says: The ques.
ton of an extra session of the legisla-
ture hinges largely on the decision of
Judge Brewer in the last injunction case
of the trunk lines against the railway
commission, which was argued at st.
Paul, Dec. II last. His decision is ex-
pected daily. The general opinion is
that it will be adverse to the state. II
this is so it is thought that an extra ses-
sion of the legislature is sure to be called.
The shippers of the state will hold a
state convention soon in this city, prob
ably about the 10Th inst, to agree upon
a measure for the consideration of the
extra session, if one is called, and to also
fix upona lineof concerted action. Great
Importance is attached to this meeting.
The railroads are apparently passive
in the matter, and show little interest
except in the opposition of recognized
railroad papers, which are opposing an
extra session, ostensibly on the ground
of the great expense which will be at
tached to it.
There is evidently something in the
wind, for railway lobbyists have begun
to appear, and the members of the legis-
nature who are le.lders in railway legis-
lntion have been much in private con-
ference with the governor OF late.
