Exploded Gas WORKS.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 9.-While the
bells were striking last evening the
sound of terrific explosion reverberat-
ed throughout the lower town. In an
instant the whole city was lighted by
the glare of a column of flame that shot
upward from the gas works at Fifth
and John streets. There had been an
explosion of gas in the condensing and
retort house. The noise Of the explo-
sion was deafening. The shock made
the earth tremble. Special Policeman
Hilger, standing at the corner of Sew
enth and Broadway, was lifted off his
feet by it, and windows were broken in
the Schumacher wagon factory, four
blocks distant. The building in which
the explosion occurred was COM
pletely wrecked. The double
brick walls on the John street front
where the condenser was were hurled
upward and outward, falling in mass
of fragments on the surrounding
grounds as much as q hundred feet
away. The network of steel rafters
which supported the metal roof was
wrenched apart, and left hanging in
tangled meshes from the broken COL
umns. The two-foot wall which sepa-
rates the condenser from the retort
house in the same building, being the
strongest, did not give way, but the
fire was communicated to the retort
house, and the fremen, who were on
the spot five minutes after the explo-
sion, worked in great danger of Sec
ond explosion. The fire was soon ex-
|tinguished. The following were found
in the debris: Killed. Daniel Desmond,
foreman; injured, Martin Curran, James
Salmon, Michael Mahoney, stokers.
Property loss (estimated), $4,000. The
cause of the explosion is unknown.

THE TRAFFIC IN FLESH.
Horrible Barbarities of Slavers in the
South Seas.

LONDON, August 14-Horrible accounts
are received of the slave labor traffic by
British planters in the South seas. The
Presbyterian mission synod in the New
Hebrides has passed a resolution to the
effect that the Kanaka labor traffic had to
large extent depopulated the New
Hebrides and adjoining islands, upset
family relations among the natives and
has been and is the cause of much sorrow,
suffering and bloodshed A missionary
named Patton reports that he had him
self seen white men in their boats
take Kanakas to labor vessels, as
the slavers are called, forcibly lift
ing them on board and when they
tried TO swim ashore they were knocked
down again and again, until they lay
stupified on deck and were thus carried
out to sea. Those thought likely to escape
are fastened with chains on board.
A chief was shot dead by the crew of one
of these vessels, while attempting TO pro-
tect his daughter, and a native Christian
teacher was also shot dead.
This slave trade is carried on under the
protection of the British flag for the ben
eft of planters in Queensland and the FIJI
islands.

NEW YORK, August 14-Abraham
Kuschner is suing for divorce, i'll Brook
lyn, from Esther X uschner. The core
spondent's name is Pagan, and it is alleged
that Mrs kuschner lived with him for
three months in the belief that he was her
husband. The case is on trial before JUS
tice Bartlett.
Marx Allenich, of 80 Essex street, and
his wife were the only witnesses examined
today. They were sworn according TO or
thouoX Jewish custom on the Tefllim.
Mr. Allenich testified that Esther believed
that Pagan was her husband, whom she
had not seen for four years. At first she
did not credit Pagan when he represented
himself as her husband, but when he told
her of certain incidents in their lives,
which she believed We're known only to
her husband she believed his story and
accepted him as her husband.
Justice Bartlett thought it possible that
the woman did not know her husband af-
ter four years separation. No additional
testimony of Importance was taken, but
counsel for the wife broadly limited that
there was a conspiracy against her and
that he was Mr.. Kuschner, and furnished
with information to enable him to carry
out the deception. The trial was ad-
journed for a week.

VICTORY FOR THE ROADS.
The Prime Objection to the New Bill of
Lading Removed.

CHICAGO, H., August H. - Shippers
throughout the United States have gained
a great victory over the railroads in Secur-
ing a modification of the uniform bill of
lading. The concession made by the carri-
ers consists in striking out the words mot
negotiable" against which the chief COM
plaint was made.
At the meeting of the joint committee of
the Trunk Line and Central Traffic associ-
alton and the representatives of the lake
and rail lines, which was held in this city
today, the subject was very fully discussed
in the light of the objections
raised bv the commercial organizations of
the country. Some of the roads threat
ened to discontinue the use of the new bill
of lading unless it were adopted by all
lines, as the shippers were now dlScrlml-
mating in favor of the Chicago & Grand
Trunk. the Wabash and the four lake
lines that had refused to adopt it in its
present form. Chairman Blanchard of the
Central Traffic association, strongly
recommended that the words Not nego-
table, printed across the face of the docu-
ment be stricken out. The recommends
tion was unanimously cOncurred in and,
thus amended, the bill of lading was
adopted by all the lines to take effect Sep
tember l. The representatives of
the Chicago & Grand Trunk adopt
ed it in its form as did the
lake lines. No action was taken in regard
to the other objections that have been
urged against the bill of lading but the
permanent committee on uniform bill of
iading was instructed TO take them up at
the earliest possible day.
This practically settles the fight over the
uniform bill of lading. The amendment
makes it a negotiable paper and bankers
will no longer refuse to advance money on
it. OF course the shippers will continue to
urge modification of other provisions of
the contract and especially that relating to
liability for damage to property during
transportation but they have gained much
even if no other concessions are made.

THE FLOUR OUTPUT.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, August 14-The
Northwestern Miller says: Owing to the
prevalence of low water the flour output
showed further decline last week The
aggregate production for the week was
136, 215 barrels. averaging 227l2 barrels
daily, against 156, ,470 barrels the week be
fore. and III, 800 barrels for the correspond
ing week in 1889. Quotations of flour are
again 20G40 cents per barrel higher
than a week ago To meet the ad-
vance in wheat. While at the
top the business done has been light
there was quite free selling of patents for
New England at range of S5.1O@5. - and
even now those who do not hold quite as
high as others report a fair demand. The
sales of patent FOR the week probably
equalled or exceeded the manufacture
Bakers are in moderate request at 2+s 6dGf

further business. Generally considered
the market is very strong.

NAUvOO. H., August 14-The great fruit
staple of 1890. in NauvOo. is the enormous
tonnage of grapes now growing in the
vineyards. The product will exceed that
OF any year heretofore. A number of new
acres will come into bearing for the first
time the latter part of this month. Large
quantities of the fruit viii be shipped to
points north and west. Arrangements
are being made TO manufacture wine
extensively. The vintage product
from Concords has very fair
body. and Is rapidly becoming popular
as table wine. Ii is only a question of
time when the great grape growing sec
tion hereabouts will become noted for the
extent of its output of wines. In that re-
spect it will be the California Of Missis-
sippi valley. Several varieties Of grapes
are ripe now and are being shipped. but
the shipments viii not amount to anv-
thing until the COncords are ripe. Spray
ing the vines with arsenical poisons 10
prevent ror has been great success.

A Tennessee Cavern Explored for Twenty
Miles.

NORMANDY, Tenn, August 14.-There is
intense excitement at this place over the
discovery yesterday of cave that, so far,
seems to surpass the Mammoth cave in
size and grandeur. Yesterday morning,
as party of gentlemen were inspecting
the country two and one-half miles south
east from this place, and di-
rectly between here and Tulla-
homa, they accidentally discovered
the entrance. Previously there had been
heavy rains and the people had been awak-
ened few nights before by rumbling
sound in the earth. The mouth of the
cave seems to have become exposed by a
slide of dirt and rocks from the side of the
hill. The party entered the cave and
walked in a good distance by the light
from the mouth, which is about eight feet
in height by twelve in width. They, hav-
ing no light to go further. returned to
Normandy, got lanterns, and then went
back to the cave, arriving there about
o'clock in the afternoon. They walked in
what seemed to be direct line all
night, but found no end. There was
small creek running through
the cave from northeast to southwest.
The walls were very high and seemed TO
be smooth, except here and there stalacti-
teS hung from the roof to the floor The
distance travelled could not have been
short of twenty miles Retraclng their
steps Iney arrived al LIE mo dC U ClOCh
this afternoon. They say there seemed to
be no end to the cave In some places the
passage is hundreds of feet wide. As the
mouth of this cave lies at the foot of what
is known as the table lands or barrenS it is
believed it extends under the whole table
land The people at this place have gone
wild with excitement over the discovery.
An exploring party will go into the cave
sometime tonight and will stay three or
four days or find the end.

a SERIOUS FIGHT,

CHINGo, Guatemala, August 1.-THE
fight at Blue Rock, July II, proves to have
been more serious than was at first re-
ported. 1t seems that some 1900 Guate-
malan troops came to the assistance of the
liberal force of Salvador troops and the
regular troops of General Ezeta drove
them back and scattering them, captured
eight pieces of artillery. The defeated
troops retired to Jutipa, their ammunition
being exhausted.
The pickets of the Guatemalan troops
were fired upon at Contepeque, about six
miles from here, this morning. Although
war has not been declared, a big fight is
expected daily, as this is the only point
where Ezeta and his army can enter
Guatemala. There are $500 troops here,
1000 more at Contepeque and 5000 scat
tered along the frontier east. from here.
The troops are in good condition and are
well armed. Work on the trenches Is be-
ing rapidly pushed.
