ONE GENT.
TONS OF POWDER FIRED.
A Frightful Explosion Near an
Ohio Village.
OVER A DOZEN PEOPLE ARE DEAD.

The Bodies Of the Unfortunate Victims
Were Literally Blown to Atoms ana
the Country Was shaken for Miles
Around-Nany Persbns Were Injured.
CINCINNATI, July 16.--A terrible explo-
sion occurred early last evening at Kings
Powder mills on the Little Miami railroad.
twenty-nine miles northeast Of this city.
The explosion shock the country for miles
around, and It was at first thought an
earthquake had taken place Over a dozen
bodies literally blown to atoms have been
gathered together
1900 Kegs Were Fired
Two empty freight cars were being rolled
on to a side track where car containing
500 kegs Of gunpowder was standing AS
the cars struck there was terrific explo-
sion, and Immediately afterward another
ear containing 500 kegs OF gunpowder ex-
ploded, making 1900 kegs altogether.
William Frauley, a brakeman in the serv-
ice Of the Little Miami, was standing on
one Of the empty cars when the explosion
occurred. His body must have been blown
to atoms No traces Of it has yet been
found. Over a dozen other persons near
the scene were killed
worIsmen's Cottages Shattered.
The King Powder company and the
Peters Cartridge works have shops on both
sides Of the river along the railroad. The
explosion occurred on the south side, and
the destruction was enormous There ara
a number of cottages occupied by work
men in the powder factory and situated
close to the track. These were shattered
by the explosion and their inmates in
iured. Twelve or fifteen girls at work in
the cartridge factory were crippled by the
explosion The railway station and the
freight house belonging to the Little Miami
railroad, together with all the adjacent
buildings, were set on fire and totally con-
sumed. The track and ties Of the railroad
were fairly torn out Of the ground and
great hole plowed in the ground.
The Peters Cartridge Factory Destroyed.
The Peters cartridge factory was burned
90 the ground Nothing but a mass OF
blackened, smoldering ruins remains to
mark the spot where the building stood.
As soon as the news reached this city a
relief train was dispatched to the scene Of
the disaster, with superintendent Peters
and large party of surgeons on board,
and relief was afforded the sufferers as
soon as possible, AS most of the girls who
were injured live at Morrow and south
Lebanon it is most probable that they Will
be taken to their homes in those places
The names Of the killed and wounded are
not as yet obtainable.
A Report That Twenty-nine Are Dead
The Peters cartridge factory was large
building and fully supplied with a great
amount Of costly machinery, both for the
manufacture Of shells and the loading OF
shotgun ammunition A large force Of
employees was at work at the time the ex-
plosion occurred. There were about i25
people residing at Kings mills, and forty
persons were employed in the two mills
A number Of spectators were at the sta
ton. Among the known killed are four
trainmen. Scarcely trace Of them can ba
found. a dispatch TO The EnqdiFer says
that twenty-nine are dead.

eIlrer xrnnt -

LONDON, July 16.--The signing Of the sill
yer bill by President Harrison, although
IL was looked upon as foregone conclu-
sion, had very stimulating effect upon
prices on the Stock Exchange Bar silver
at once rose to fifty pence an ounce a sell
ing price it has not attained for several
years American securities also took on
degree of sympathetic activity and in
creased orders to buy were cabled to New
York. The increase in the price Of silver is
by no means to be regarded as permanent,
however. The practical effect of the new
American silver law has been pretty thor
oughly discussed, and the opinion is gen
eral that the present activity in silver bull
ion will not continue long and that the
price will gradually recede to a point little
if any above the figures which have ruled
for the last year

SENATOR FRYE TO Mr.. BLAINE.
A Reply 60 the Secretary's Letter on the
Mckinley BIlI.


NEW York, July 18.-The New York
Press has the following: Senator Frye has
transmitted to Secretary Blaine a reply to
the letter Of the latter dealing with Spain's
embargo upon American breadstuffs. SEN
ator Frye asks the secretary what informa-
tion from Spain he has, and what that
government would concede in case tho
United States reduces or takes off the duty
UPON sugar imported from Cuba and Ports
Rico. The senator requests the secretarys
opinion as TO whether 1t would be fair TO
spain and her possessions TO demand that
they take American breadstuffs alone in
exchange for sugar, while the secretary ad
vocates the admission from the Latin
American republics Of sugar in exchange
for no less than eighty-seven kinds Of
American products
Senator Frye said to The Press corre-
spondent: 1T seems to me it is too late to
amend the tariff bill as Mr. Blaine sug-
gests We're we to arrange il so as to reach
a reciprocal agreement with Spain fear
we would embarrass ourselves with the
Latin-American republics My idea is THAI
we can remove all this perplexity By cut
ting the duty on sugar one-half. Perhaps
I'm wrong, but this seems TO me the most
easy way out Of the difficulty don't know
what correspondence Secretary Blaine has
had with Spain, but trust in his reply to
my letter he will indicate how we can Sc.
cure our market in Cuba and Porto Rico
without bringing us into an unpleasant
controversy with the South Americans.
Perhaps Mr.. Blaine will be able to solve
the problem for US
II wrote this letter in no carping spirit,
with the purpose Of securing from Mr.
Blaine an expression of opinion regarding
these matters. / think that the happy SO.
luton Of the sugar question, for the time
being at least, lies in the reduction Of tho
present rate from two cents pound to
one cent. The American planter will find
in duty of one cent pound ample pro-
lection for his industry when the fact is
remembered that the improved machinery
of the present day makes very material
reduction in the cost of producing the com
modify as compared with decade or even
less auO y
