RAUM UNDER FIRE.
The Pension Ohlce Rottcnness Attacked i'm
the House.


WASHINGTON, july 15.-The House went
into committee of the whole for the cOnsid-
Grafton of the bill appropriating 1886, $50
for an additional clerical force to carry into
effect the provisions of the dependent pen
sion act. Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, at
tributed the non-reporting of the appropri-
alton bills sufficient 10 pay pensions
TO political reasons. Mr.. Cannon said that
the money would be appropriated and
paid Just rs rapidly as the pension certif-
Gates were issued. Mr.. Dockery charged
that the majority was affrighted by the
startling appropriations, and was running
away and refusing 10 appropriate the
necessary money until after the elections.
Mr.. CutcheOn suggested that it was a time
honored custom TO bring in deficiency
bill. Mr.. Dockery was glad that the gen
tleman had acknowledged that il was the
intention of the majority to bring in an
enormous deficiency bill after the election.
Mr.. Enloe, of Tennessee, thought that
before any increase of force was granted
the Pension Bureau charges against il
should be investigated. He himself be-
lieved that the Office was reeking with cor
ruption in every department.
Mr.. Cooper, Of Indiana, said he was ready
to prove before a competent committee
that the charges against the Commissioner
are tfue. Mr. Cannon said if he had intro
duced an investigating resolution, and a
hearing was in progress, he would wait un-
I'll the hearing was completed. Mr. Coop
er replied that the committee had adjourn
ed to meet last Monday. But they did not
meet to pursue the inquiry because the
gentleman from Illinois (Cannon) and other
members had absented themselves After
a long discussion the committee arose and

TONS OF POWDER
Cause an Unparalleled Horror Near Cincinnati
Terrible Explosion-Great Buildings Wrecked
And Ten Lives Are LOST

CINCINNATI. O., July IA terrible
explosion occurred late this afternoon
at Kings Powder Mills. on the Little
Miami railroad, % miles east Of this
city. Six persons were killed and Il
dozen or more seriously injured. Two
empty freight ears were being rolled
into side track where a ear containing
800 kegs of powder was standing. As the
cars struck there was a terrific eXplo-
sion. and Immediately after another car
containing 500 kegs of powder exploded,
making 1900 kegs 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 to
atoms, aS no trace of it has been found.
Five other persons, supposed to be en-
ploycS of the powder company. were
killed. There are number Of cottages
occupied by workmen in the powder
factory and situated close to the track.
Thesc were shattered by the explosion
and their inmates injured. Twelve or
fifteen girls at work in the cartridc fac
tory were crippled by the explosion.
The railway station or the freight
house belonging to the Little Miami
railroad. together with all the
contents. were set on fire and
consumed. The havoc wrought by
the explosion of those sixteen tons Of
powder is dreadful. The track and ties
of the railroad are fairly torn ont of the
ground aud a great hole ploughed in
the ground. The Peters Cartridge Fac
tory was burned to the ground. As
soon as the news reached this city about
five o'clock a relief train was despatched
to the scene of the disaster
with Superintendent Peters and
a large party of surgeons on board. The
work of searching for the missing and
caring for the wounded is now progress
ing and further particulars will be OBJ
tanned then.

games between the Wheeling and the Can
ton teams. II was not such weather as
one would look for phenomenal
ball work, for II ever the
diamond seemed like the top of a kitchen
cook stove IL was yesterday In the glar-
ing sun eighteen gladiators, unmindful OF
self, and with grit in their teeth, struggled
for supremacy. There were flies in the
air, TO be sure. But none lit on the Wheel
ing boys. They were kept righteously
busy putting No. polish on the visitors,
and in this they succeeded admirably. The
grand stand. as well as the outside array
OF seats, was very sparsely settled, but
considerable enthusiasm was manifested,
and all the good plays were promptly recog-
nized.
Fitzgerald twirled the sphere for the home
team and put up stiff ball. pinning the
visitors down for seven consecutive in
nings, while the home team. by oppOrtune
batting, snatched victory by the forelock
in three innings. The Wheelings were the

the box for the Cantons. aud the home
boys readily caught the secret of the com

the last half of the second inning, when
Cline closed in on a hot liner and made a
double play with Mills at second.
In the first half of the third inning the
Wheelings again send the sphere of on a
vacation, and piled up three more runs.
Again centertielder Ziegler distinguished
himself, and again the audience cheered
Justify as the ball ploughed through the air
for another three baser, letting in two runs.
Ieigler also took q promenade over the
home plate a little later. The score now
stood 10 D in favor of Wheeling, and as
the home team was set down as a sure win.
ner the interest in the game began to lag.
Then came a series of goose eggs until
the first half of the eighth inning, when
Wheeling scored two more, and did it right
over again in the ninth The CantOns got
their dander upin the eighth and by heavy
and timely batting collared three runs and
increased IL by two in the final inning
The game closed by score of 10 10 5 in
favor of the home team. The features of
the game were the batting Of both teams
and the fine field work of the Wheelings.
The following is the official score:
