TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.

Three Men Killed and Others Injured BY
an Explosion of Flash Powder in Wylis
3 Wal,ace's Chemical Works, Philadel-
phia-The Senior Memher of the Firm
Among the Dead.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1S.-Three men
were killed by terrific explosion in
Wylie & Wallace's Chemical Works, No.
134 North Seventh street, yesterday aft
ernoon. At fifteen minutes to four
o'clock the noise of an explosion startled
the passers-by, and then every pane OF
glass in the lower stories of the building
blew out in splinters. A gush of flame
followed, and almost on the instant the
factory seemed to be envelOped in
flames.
When the explosion occurred the
three men were knocked down as though
with one shot. Fourteen girls who were
employed in the upper floors were res
cued. One of them was cut badly by
flying glass, and Joseph Brown, a clerk
in the Office, was cut about the head
and face. AS the bodies were found the
firemen loaded them on stretchers and
had them sent to the mOrgue in patrol
wagons. One of the dead men was the
senior member Of the firm, and his com.
panions in death were employees.
The names of the dead are:
Joseph Wylie, one of the members of
the firm.
Rudolph Lipmann, an employee.
Chas. Rhinedollar, an employe.
The substance that exploded was flash
powder, which had been standing in a
large bottle on shelf for long time
Mr.. Wylie concluded to get rid of the
dangerous stuff, and was pouring it out
into sink when the explosion occurred
Chas. Rhinedollar and Rudolph Lip
mann were helping him by playing a
hose on the powder.
just what caused the explosion is moi
known, but it is supposed that the pow.
der being old stuck fast, and that Mr..
Wylie knocked the bottle against the
sink to start it. The three men were
torn to pieces.
VIM. Kidd, tho engineer, and Thomas
Haslam, the book-keeper, were slightly
injured.
Mr.. Wylie was thirty-eight years old
and leaves a large family. Rhinedollal
was a chemist. He was twenty-nine
years old and unmarried. Lippman was
nineteen years old.
About a year ago boy was killed
while handling powder in the works
and the boys father is suing the firm
for damages. Mr.. Wylie, on returning
from court yesterday. said he would get
rid of the last of that powder, and it was
while doing so that the disaster occurred

An American Consul Speaks Disparagingfy
OF Their Methods of Agriculture.

An Americsn Consul Speaks Disparagingly
OF Their Methods of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Robert M.
Turner, of Kansas, the new Consul to
Cadiz, Spain, has only recently arrived
at his post, but his first report to the
State Department has just been pub
lished. Mr.. Turner has been accus-
toned to the methods of agriculture
observed in Kansas, and he concludes
that farming in Spain is in primitive
state. He is accordingly convinced
that Spain offers an excellent market
for American farm machinery.
1.-The primitive methods of farming
were surprise to me-" says ConS&
Turner. ''Grain is cut with a small
reaping hook and threshed as in the
time of the Caesars, that is, by tramp
ing it out with asses hitched to a stone
boat. The plOw is a crooked stick
pointed with iron. In the towns are
to be seen heavy wooden carts drawn
by oxen. Most of the carrying,
transferring. ETC., is done by
donkeys. Sand, brick, lumber-in
fact, almost every thing that has to be-
moved is carried on their backs.
These animals are used all through
Spain and for every purpose, in the
same way in which We use them in the
almost impossible canons of the Rocky
Mountains. Around the depOts saw
no such things as trucks for moving
trunks and freight. All such work is
done by men. Saratoga trunks are
loaded on their backs and carried from
cart to cart"
Mr.. Turner says that while Spain is
almost exclusively an agricultural
country, it is not farmed. He thinks
it sought to be electrified by American
machinery" and then Spain could pro-
duce its own food, with the exception
of tea, coffee and rice, and have a
large surplus for export.
''In the meantime, T" he says, "Amer--
lean shippers and packers will find it.
much more profitable to supply these
markets with meats and breadstuffs
direct instead of through English and
| German channels"

How Sauerkraut is Made.

Ssuer-kraut is no: laughed at as much
rs it used to be, and is eaten more. Its
consumption is no longer confined to
Germans, and it is sold here in large
quantities to almost all restaurants and
eaten by people who like stimulating
food. At a picnic this month l sold ten
barrels Of it, dealt out in saucers.
Doesn't that show that it is a favorite
article of food? The business of making
sauer-kraut is confined to a very few
people in the city. They buy the cab
bage-hard and compact heads
are the best-cut it up, salt
it down and allow it to
ferment. Then they sell it to the
places where it is retailed, and at these
the last touches of favor are added. 1t
is these last touches that make the diff
ference in sauer-kraut, and sometimes
the quality of the kraut at one place
will be so much better than that at
others that lovers of the dish will travel
from one end of the town to the other to
etast it.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
