lowing is a corrected list of the killed
and injured in yesterday afternoons ex-
plosion at the Dupont powder mills:
Killed-Wm. R. Green, solderer, worked
in magazine, and leaves a wife and four
children; body found entire. VIM. G.

borer. Mrs. Rosie Dougherty, aged 80,
found in the garrett of her house, crushed
by the roof; died from her injuries short
" after the accident. Twenty others
were injured. The men who were killed
we're ali working 1 and about the mag
azines at the mills and, except in the
cases of three-Wm. r. Green, VIM. Nc
Garvey and Patrick Dougherty-were
blown to pieces, SO that only fragments
of their remains have been found. The
body of Patrick Dougherty was found
this morning in the water of the @
along the north shore where it had been
blown by the explosion. The body Of
Green was found Just outside the ruins Of
the magazine in which the first explosion
occurred, and, strange to say, was not
mangled or burned. It 10 the theory Of
the workmen that the explosions were
started in some way by q soldering
iron which Green was using in soldering
tin covers on FANS of powder. This work
is extremely dangerous and Green was
the only man trusted to perform it. He
was an old employee, who thoroughly
understood his work, but it is supposed
that his soldering iron became too hot
and that its heat fred the powder in
spite of his carefullness. Green and Nc
darvey were the only men in the maya
zine at lifetime. The wounded are being
cared for by neighbors and friends and
the dead bodies are prepared for burial
William Green was buried this after
noon. The 800 or 400 homeless people
were provided with comfortable quarters
by their friends living in more favored
localities and will be looked after until
their homes can be restored.

Butterflies That Battle.

In The Victorian Naturalist g. Lyen,
Jr., Of South Melbourne, notes that while
walking along the edge Of q mountain
stream in Gippsland he observed q peculiar
habit of the Victorian butterfly, Papilio
m~acleayanus. One of these butterflies was
seen to alight close to the water, into
which 1t backed till the whole Of the body
and the lower part Of the hind wings were
submerged, the two foreleGs alone retain
ing their hold of the dry land. After re-
naming in this position for something like
half q minute it few away, apparently
refreshed. at
During the morning." says MI. Lyen,
II noticed quite q number doing the same
thing. In one instance no less than four
were seen to be within q space Of not more
than three yards, and to make sure that !
was not deceived l captured several ashley
rose from the water, and found In each
case the body and lower edge Of the hind
wings quite wet. While in the water the
duttering Of the wings, 90 noticeable at
other times, was suspended, and 80 intent
were the butterflies In the enjoyment Of
their cold bath that they would hardly
move, even when actually touched by the
net.
Apparently the heat Of the weather
drove them to the water, as Immediately
they emerged they few upagain to the hill
sides. Ihave often noticed butterflies Of the
Nymphalide family settling near the pools,
and apparently imbdhdng the moisture from
the damp sand round the edges, but never
before have I seen butterflies enter the
water. Possibly 1t may b apeculiar habit
of this particular species or genus. Num-
bers Of the white butterfly, Peris har-
palyce, were flying about at the same time,
but I noticed none ahght near the water"

Part of the Dupont Powder Works
Blown to Atoms by Powder
Explosions.

Completely Wrecked by the

No Definite News Can be Learned,

Lives Are Lost.
Worse than at First Reported.

"VAS0
WILMINGTON, Del, Oct. 7.-Several
startling explosions in quick succession,
some counted five, others seven, at $50
p. m. to-day, announced to Wilmington
q disaster at the Dupont Powder works
on the Brandywine. A rush was made
for the telephones, but nothing could be
learned beyond vague reports of tho
damage. A press representative hastened
at once to the scene and has just wired
that the works known as the upper
yard" is q complete wreck and that at
least six lives have been lost. One Of
the magazines went of first, and the
rolling and drying mills near by was set
of by the conclusion. There were at
least seven distinct successive explosions.
Every dwelling in the neigbo1hood is re-
ported wrecked or unroofed. Telephone
inquiries from West Chester state that
the explosions we're distinctly heard in
that section.
A messenger has just brought in the
following dispatch, which shows that the
worst has not yet been learned of the
powder mills explosion: "Ten killed,
twenty wounded; Rockland a complete
wreck, not a house left standing" Rock
land is a village on the Brandywine fully
q mile above the scene of the explosion.
It comprises a large paper mill owned
by the Jessup & Moore company, and
about fifty dwellings, in which chiefly re-
side mill employees. Its population is
about two hundred. Evidence OF the
destruction at that distance leads to the
belief here that the number of killed and
wounded is not yet fully a~scertained.

REV. THOMAS DIXON, in, q Baptist
clergyman Of New York City. last sun
day came to the front i'm "a sensible en-
dorsemeut of the Sunday press, the
growth aud popularity of which he
said was really an indictment Of the
Christian Church for neglccting its
true field in ignoring the living QueS-
tions of the day. which have directly to
do with the lives OF the people. He said
in conclusion:
The mighticst educational influence in
this great city to-day is the press, and the
Sunday press is Just three times as good
and three times rs strong as the weekday
press. 1 know that it can be improved
upon. but it is better in its quality, better
in the matter that it contains, and better
all the way through than the weekday
press. You should pray for the man that
edits the Sunday newspaper, and you
should feel for him who breaches to mil
lion people in one day. God has put this
responsibility on the editor Of the Sunday
paper. and YOU should pray that he be
equal to his task and worthy of the trust
that has been placed in him. And rejoice
that God has given You the power thus TO
pray.

THE PENNsYLvANIA EIGHT.

Ex-Governor ROBERT f. PATrlsoN
has been chosen TO lead the Democratic
hosts Of Pennsylvania against the QUAY
Republicans.
Mr.. PArTISON has led the Pennsylva-
mia Democracy to splendid victory be-
fore, and all signs encourage the belief
that he will do it again. The prospects
in his favor, barring the fact that there
IS now no independent ticket in
the field, are immeaSurably greater
than they were before. The peo-
pie of Pennsylvania have not forgotten
his former strictly honest, capable, eco
nomlcal aud democratic administration
of the affairs of that State, the like Of
which they have not since seen, while
the opposition is burdened and handi-
capped, first and most with QUAY,
whose creature the Republican nominee
is, and whose purposes he will serve
SlaviShly. and secondly by the record Of
total incapacity aud corruption Of the
present State Republican administra-
ton.
A careful rcconnoitre of the field
shows a widespread revolt among de-
cent Republicans against QUAY. The
election of DELANArER would mean the
Endorsement OF QUAY, and q perpetual
tion Of his power in Pennsylvania poll
tics and no decent Republican will in
dorSe QUAY, or desire that his grasp
upon the State government be contiu-
ued Pennsylvania is one of the sure
Republican States in national affairs,
il any State, with the HARRISON adj
ministration i'm sight. can be said to be
surely Republican, but when it comes
TO local affairs, when QUAY-Republican
methods are brought home 10 the peo-
Pile directly, there is a powerful amount
of yc>t-pocket independent voting for
the best man, which sometimes makes
short work Of the $4,000 Republican
majority. QUAY has every rein OF the
Republican machine firmly in his grasp.
as was shown by the manner in which
be forced DELAMArER on the Conyeu-
ton against its will, but QUAY has not
the same grasp upon the decent Repub-
lican voters Of Pennsylvania.
This is QUAY'S last chance for recog-
milton aud quasi yindication at the
hands Of the people and he has seliiShly
graSped it at the peril Of his party. To
have stepped aside would have been to
acknowledge the justice of the con
tempt In which he is held by all honest
men. lie has cfTectually succeeded in
demonstrating that he still holds his
party by the throat, but that will be
the extent OF his "yindication, UNI
less We seriously misunderstood popu-
lar sentiment and morals in our neigh
Dor State.
Ex-Governor PArTISoN, the Demo
cratic nominee, ON the other hand, is
pure, upright and capable man who has
been weighed ia the balance and found
not wanting. 1t will be passing strange

II has not been long since college
education was practically out of the
reach of young men and women whose
parents were not rich. That state of
affairs has changed markedly and rapid

colleges over the country. These open

excellent college training To- the ener-
sctic aud industrious young man, who
could not stand the expense Of course

expenses of the institutions less and the
habits of the students are not SO oStcn-
tatiouS as at the larger institutions, en-
abling the young man Of moderate
means To enter without ovcrtaXing the
resources of his family.
And, though unprctcntiouS, and with
small cndowments many of these small
colleges which are scattered through
the country are doing work which the
great institutions would not be ashamed
Of. Their professors are generally prac-
teal Woodworking. earnest men. de-
voted TO their work, and taking CON
scientious interest in it which is too
often lacking in the more pretentiouS
colleges. At the great universities ed
ucation is necessarily expensive. and
out Of the reach of the mass Of people.
At the small aud inexpensive institu-
tions it is within the reach Of almost
any young man Of energy. The small
colleges are for the people and their
value to the people aud to civilization
is iucstimablc.
Let it not Dee supposed that We are de-
crying the great universities They
are Of Immense value But the country
would suffer less from their loss than il
would from the loss Of the great NUM-
Der Of snail colleges which are instruct

THE w. al. Z. SUBSCRIPTION

We can see mo- valid reason why the

NIT the question of subscription, or no
subscription. Of 100000, with double
liability. under the laws of Ohio, II a
reasonably fair number OF heavy tax
PAYERS petition to that effect. The peo-
plc are the final arbitcrs anyway, and
they should have chance to decide Tor
themselves, prcSuming, of course, that
the Board of Commissioners have rea-
SON To believe that there IS a
general division of opinion in the
mind of the public. Certainly
it would be OF no use to sub

defeat. But upon this view OF it we
think they must be in doubt, especially
when SD large and respectable petition

Gentlemen. We believe it your duty to
let the people be heard. You can then
make no mistake.
