dozen or more seriouaIy injured. Two
empty freight cars were being rolled into

sion, and immediately after another car
containing 500 kegs OF powder exploded,
making 1900 key, altogether. William
Frautry, brakeman in the service Of
the Miami. was standing on one OF the
empty cars when the explosion occurred.
His body must have been blown 10
atoms, as no trace Of it has been found,
FIVE other persons, supposed 10 be en-.
p!oyes OF the powder company, were
killed.
ENORMOUS DESTRUCTION,
The Kings Powder Company and the

There are a number Of cottage occupied

TIE CAPTAIN TO BLAME.

Under all the stern sorrow OF the men,
the wailing OF the women, is feeling
OF ofbi,tctuess, not 80 much at the fate
tina. has robbed them of their loved
ones rs at the supposed carelessness
and incompctency which they consider
was shown in the management Of the
iIl.fated Sea Wing. Strong words aud
bitter thoughts ara Oh the lips and i'll
the hearts OF most eYery one to be met
with around town. Captain Wethern,
who commanded the Sea Wing, and
his crew alc denounced vigorously
and il all that was sala were true they
would surely receive speedy justice.
Even though conflicting stories IRE told
OF tho occurrence, the condition OF the
crew and OF the orders Of the captain
enough seems TO be established to bring
upon them some pretty strong aud welt
deserved censures. The mildest and
best view OF the whole sad affair would
eeem TO Indicate q woeiul lack OF judg.
mept on tho part OF the captain iu Ieav-
ing shore to 20 out into such storm.
Dynamitirg has been kept up during
the day, bat nothing new has developed
in tho search for further victims Of the
disaster.
The coroner this afternoon explained
to tho jury his opinion that II there
was no marks ofvioence on II particular
body no inquest could be held. He be-
lieved that in the present state Of feel
ing in this community it would not at
least be advisable for the coroner to in:
yes,igate now even If the case demanded
it, lie assured tho members Of the jury
+. as private citizena. that they could fee
confident that the rumors about the
management wonlj not be forgotten
but that the grand jury would examine
carefully and thoroughly, and ii an!
blame attached to tho captain or others
they would not be forgotten. Tho jury
acted on bis decision apa the corone
dismissed them.

CORN HUsK1NG.
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLOw.

Summer passed. and Shawondasse
Bresthed his signs DER all the landscape
From the Southland sent his ardors,
Waited kisses warm and tender;
And the maize field grew and ripened,
Till It stood in all the splendor of
Its garments green and yellow,
OF its tassels and its plumage,
And the maize-ear full and shining
Cleaned from bursting sheaths Of verdure
And the merry Laughing Water
Went rejoicing from the wigwam,
With Nokomis. old and wrinkled
And they called the women round them,
Called the Young men and the maidens,
To the harvest OF the corn-fields,
To the husking of the maize-ear.
On the border of the forest.
Underneath the fragrant pine-trees.
Sat the old men and the warriors,
Smoking in the pleasant shadow
In uninterrupted silence
Looked they at the gamesome labor
OF the Young men and the women;
Listened to their noisy talking,
To their laughter and their singing,
Heard them chaite,ins like the maypics,
Heard them laughing like the blue-jays.
Heard them singing like the robins.
And whene'er some lucky maiden
Found red ear in the husking.
Found a maize ear red as blood is,
'Nu>hka = cried they all togr, her,
'Nushka. YOU shall have a sweetheart,
You shall have a handsome husband
Ugh" the old men all responded,
From their seats beneath the pine-trees.
