The huge blast Of powder for which pre-
paration has been so long and carefully
made, was successfully fred at $50 O'Clock
Saturday afternoon. The day had been
very misty, which prevented the actual
movement OF the rock being seen. but tho
effects produced are prodigious. The

pounds, and it was disposed in six cham

tons of rock, or 10000 cubic yards. The
wires formed circuit of 10000 feet, and
the shot was touched off by means of dy-

The whole population, including many
visitors, retired to safe distance. and all
doors and windows were left wide open.

The blast made an opening OF about 12o

PORK AND LARD IN FLAMES.
Big Chicago Packing Firms Plant d.
strOyed by Fire.

Big Chicago Packing Firms Plant De-
stroyed by Fire.
CHICAGO, Sept 28.-The Anglo-Ameri-
can Packing Company's establishment at
the stock yards was damaged by fire early
this morning to the extent OF $650,00O. The
fire was one of the worst the department
ever had to deal with.
The alarm was turned in just before
o'clock, when the flames were seen in the
packing room. When the first engines
arrived this room was mass of flames.
The water had little effect on the grease
soaked floors, and the fire soon reached
the room where thirty-two tanks of lard
were located. These exploded, one after
another, and the melted lard added fresh
fuel to the flames. The heat was so in
tense the firemen were forced back and
compelled to work from distance. The
flames then spread to the cooling room,
where the carcasses of nearly 1000 hogs
were stored. They burned like oil. Water
seemed useless, and the twenty engine
companies at work made little headway.
More engines were summoned, but two
hours after the fire STATED the roof fell in
and the flames seemed to spread more rap
idly than ever. The hundred streams OF
water being poured upon the fire appeared
to have no effect. About this time the
flames reached a lot of saltpetre, and the
fumes from this stihed the fremen, over.
coming several of them.
The fire marshals directed all efforts of
their men to preventing the spread of the
flames from the Anglo-American plant.
Within short distance of the establish
ment are several other large packing
houses, and for time it was feared the
flames would communicate to them. The
Eremen, however, succeeded in control
ling it.
AT o'clock this morning it was seen to
be impossible to extinguishing the burning
pork, and water was thrown on it to keep
the fire down as much as possible. 1t will
have to burn out, and probably it will be
day or two before it is entirely extln-
guished. The fire department succeeded
in saving other portions of the Anglo
American plant from serious damage. The
loss is entirely covered by insurance.
The company that has been conducting
the business rs composed OF Englishmen.
Recently, however, new company has
been formed, known as Fowler Bros. (lim-
ited), inc orporated in England, with cap
italization of f75O,00O, with the proposal to
acquire the business of several firms here
and elsewhere.

in speed. The engines crashed together
with awful force, and freight cars to the
number of twenty-five were piled up to q
height OF twenty or thirty feet.
There was also collision on GAINESVILLE
hill, on the Baltimore q Ohio, between ex-
press and passenger trains. Railway off,

Kills Two workmen.
TENINo, Sept. 2S.-ISpeciaL IA special
freight from Portland ran into the rear OF
Pacific mail train No. 2. in front OF tho
depot at 1928 today and two workmen
were killed, the head of one being COM
pletely severed from his body. Both trains
were running toward Tacoma The
freight had side-tracked at Bucoda, to al
low the mail train to pass. The latter
left Bucoda at II o'clock and the freight
left at 1910.
The mail train had been standing at
the depot at Tenino about four minutes
when the freight came around the curve
at a speed, as the engineer Of the freight
stated, of about twelve miles per hour. En-
gineer ID. Taveile discovered the danger
when about $50 yards behind. and imme-
diately reversed his engine. The air-pump
was broken and failed to work and the
freight went crashing into the Pullman
car on the rear of the mail train. Fortu-
nately the rear car stood the shock, and
thereby averted most serious damages.
Behind the engine of the freight was q
lumber car, in which two workmen wero
stealing ride. As the crash came. the engin-
eer, D. TaveIle, and the fireman, J. Barrett
jumped, but the workmen were caught and
horribly mangled.
Coroner Hastock, of Olympia, took
charge of the bodies A hospital receipt
for 81, in the name OF Jacob johnson. was
found on the first body. 1t was signed J.
III. Smith, but no residence was given. On
the second body was found naturalization
papers in the name OF G. ID. Strandberg
and signed by James ]. Flynn, clerk, az
San Francisco, in 1885. Eleven dollars in
money and pocket book were also found.
The dead man evidently was Swede. The
bodies will be buried at Tenin0.

NO RECOUNT FOE OREGON.
Charge OF Padding Denied In Portland,
and Reasons Given.

PORTLAND. Sept. 2S.-[special. THE dis
patch telegraphed from Washington City
that the recent recount of Portland was
padded, is regarded here as move onxhe
part of the census department to defeat the
demand OF the Oregon delegation for re-
count of the entire state.
Supervisor Mech, in an interview to-
night, denounced the charges as utterly
false. He said every precaution was taken
against padding. and that Special Agent
Leland approved his plan of work. Leland,
hr said. told him before leaving for Wash.
ington City that the recount had been fair.
and he would stand and swear by il upon
his return to headquarters.
In view OF these developments there is
bu. little hope tonight that Oregon will get
the recount, still there is some interest in
the decision OF Secretary Noble, which will
be announced tomorrow.
