A Terrible EXPLOSION.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. ga few minutes
after O'Clock an alarm of fire from box 80
at the corner of High and Main street
called the fire department out. A crowd
rushed to the scene Of the fire. An explo-
sion had occurred in a one-story dwelling
at the southeast corner Of Wall street and
Noble alley at the middle of the quare
bounded by High and Front and Main and
Mound streets. Patrol No.. was on tie
street but no rope was stretched. The
people crowded by hundreds into the mar
now alley and pushed up close to the house.
The fire was almost under control when
another terrific explosion rent the air.
A sheet of flame burst from the building
at the northwest corner of Wall street and
Noble alley. A great mass of bricks,
beams and stone that thirty seconds before
had constituted a two-story brick building
were flying with terrific force through the
air then quiet with death. The scene that
followed was terrible. People ran shrek
ing i'll all directions, while the alley was
instantly covered with Il mass of debris
from which means OF the buried men came.
The explosion, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, resulted from natural gas in the
cellar of the house occupied by Michael
Bowers and Mr.. Marrot. No natural gas
pipes were ever put into that house, but
the cause was the natural gas main in
Noble alley which leaked, the ground was
frozen and the gas in seeking its way out,
entered the cellar. 1t has no scent and it's
presence could not be detected. The force
of the explosion in Marrot's and Bowers
houses took a westerly and %northerly di-
rection n scattered bricks and lumber
for a distance of twenty feet. The side of
roof, freed of its support, fell over. The
exploded vapor: after doing Its terrible
work ON the south side of Noble
alley leaped over to the north
side of the alley and completely
destroyed house at "a west Noble occupied
by Edward Otstot AID Mr.. James. This
house is similarly constructed, being one
down and upstairs. Here the terrible force
OF the gas was shown. Everything was
blown to chips. A force of men in a week
could not reduce a house to klndling wood
so quickly as the explosion in II short
moment. The explosion was upwards
as bricks, doors, windows, ashes, ETC.,
were piled in heaps about the building and
only a dozen feet from it. The house shot
up and parted like a piece of fire works
and fell back as do sparks from a rocket.
1t parted in two myriads of pieces. Great
mystery prevails as to how the flames got
from one cellar to another without so much
as disturbing the brick or stone in the
masonary. The work of getting out the
dead and caring for the wounded is at
are Chas. Becht. barber; Seymour, a col
ored boy, Mrs. p. Marrot, an unknown
man and an unknown babe. Six persons
were killed and thirty injured.

the Immediate opening of the reservation.
have moved in large numbers on the from
tier and are cutting all the wood along Bad
and Missouri rivers and hauling it back to
lands which they intend to take up ac-
cording to the provisions Of the Sioux bill.
Settlers think this is an injustice to them
and hence the trouble. To-day an attempt
was made by the settlers on mile square to
stop the Indians in their work and for
awhile it looked like it would be a serious
battle for supremacy. Troops were imme-
diately hustled across Bad river and sent
the settlers back on space allowed to them.
Ihe dla are not in any way on the wal
path. but declared that they would fight
for their rights the same as whites. They
have already hauled off about 1000 cords
of wood. Northwestern railroad officials
are still here and are running lines across
the river and surveying the famous mile
square. They now declare that they in
tend to hold the mile square according to
the 1879 treaty with the Indians. The
interior department has a special agent
here who will attempt to arrange the diff
Guilty between the settlers, railroad COM
