THE PERMANENT EXPOSITION.

the future OF Roanoke and more espec
Tally about The permanent exposition
suggested by Vice President Eddy and
seconded by the press and public,
not only of the Southwest but the en-
tire state.
The Record strongly approves the
plan, and says that il would be of the
greatest benefit. 1t is founded upon 9
broad aud liberal basis and needs moth
ing but the requisite push and energy
to make it grand aud lasting success.
There cannot be doubt in the MUD
of anyone but what the scheme is a
most excellent one, And we can as
sure our:.Baltimore contemporary that
there is very fair prospect that it will
be carried out. Two years have yet to
elapse before we celebrate the tenth
anniversary of the foundation of the
city. Bat we should not allow this
consideration to prevent making active
preparations for the coming event.

ABOUT THE HOTELS.

Where will the loungers find a rest
ing place, now that the benches has
been removed from in front of the
City Hotel? For years the corner of
Salem avenue and Jefferson street has
beena rendezvous, and crowd could
always be found there resting on the
benches. But these are gone now
and the crowd that erst while rested,
upon them stand around and gaze dis
consolately at the vacant space.

TEN TONS OF POWDER,
Kings Powder Works in Ohio Blown Up
and Burned.

and Burned.
\ Cincinnati, O., dispatch of the 18th
says: terrific explosion occurred late
this afternoon at Kings powder mills,
Oh the Little Miami Railroad, twenty
nine miles east of this city. Ten or more
persons were killed and twenty or thirty
seriously injured Two empty freight
cars were being rolled into a side track
where car containing 500 kegs of
gnupowder was standing. As the ears
struck there was great explosion, and
Immediately atterward another car con
tanning 800 kegs of gunpowder ex
ploded, making 800 kegs altogether.
VIM Frauly, brakeman in the service
of the Little Miami, was standing on
one of the empty cars. and his body
must have been blown to atoms, as no
trace of it has yet been found Five
other persons, supposed to be the en-
ploves of the company, were killed.
The Kings Powder Company and the
Peters cartridge factory have works
on both sides of the river along the
railroad. The explosion occurred on
the south side, and the destruction was
enormous. There are many cottages
close to the wreck, occupied by work
men. These were shattered by the eX-
plosion, and their inmates injured.
Twelve or fifteen girls at work in the
cartridge factory were crippled by the
explosion. The railway stations and the
freight-house belonging to the Little
Miami Railroad, together with all the
adjacent buildings were set on fire and
consumed as was the Peters cartridge
factory. The havoc wrought by the
explosion of these sixteen tons of pow
der is dreadful. The track and ties of
the railroad are fairly torn out of the
earth, and great hole ploughed in the
ground.
As soon as the news reached this city
relief train was dispatched TO the
scene of the disaster. with Supt. Peters
and large party of surgeons on board.
As most of the girls who were injured
live at Morrow and South Lebanon it is
most probable that they will be taken to
their homes in those places. Peters
cartridge factory was Il large building,
and many employees were at work at the
time that the explosion occurred.
Advices from the scene of the explos
reports of destruction of prop
erty and loss of life. Every
thing combustibe in the vicinity is
burning. and it is impossible to obtain
particulars There were three families
living in little cottages near the place of
the explosion, and six hours diligent
search failed to find any trace Of them.
Eight or ten girls in the cartridge fac
tory saved themselves from the flames
by catching hold of a rope that hung
from the building to the ground and
sliding down. At midnight the smoke
was sitting. The people are dazed, and
too busy fighting the flames to give the
names of the dead and wounded. The

Death was die to infiaIn nation of
the bowels. There were present
at the bedside at the demise his
son. Lieut.. J. c. Fremont, of the navy
and his physician, DIR. VIM. J. Morton.
His sickness was of comparatively brief
duration, and dated in its first stages
from the excessive heat of the
previous Tuesday, when the ther-
mometer went up to 1909 in that
city. On that day the old general
went out to Seabright, n j., where his
adopted daughter, Mrs. Col. Porter, was
stopping, and the excessive heat affect
ed him very seriously When he re-
turned home he felt ill. On THE follow
ing day, Wednesday, he experienced
some pain, and on Thursday was worse,
but be did not complain. Matters as
sumed SO much worse turn on FRIDAY
that he sent for his physician. The
doctor advised the sick man to
take sail and get a little
fresh air. While he was out on
the water he got bad chill. Friday
night he sent for DR.. Morton again. On
the following morning Saturday the
disease had developed enough to show
its true character (peritonitis). But
even then the case was not considered
dangerous, and dispatch to that effect
was sent to Seabright, n. j. Final dis
solution was sudden. The general was

Carey Bros Plant at Philadelphia De-
stroyed by Fire.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July l4.-Fire de-
stroved the immense wall paper factory
of Carey Bros, in this city, on Sunday,
causing loss of 100000. The flames
broke out i'll Atkinson's planning mill
and spread to the paper mill. The
building extends from Tenth TO Elev-
enth Streets, distance of 800 feet, and
from Nevada to Colona Streets, l2O feet,
and was five stories high.
Carey Bros. estimate their loss at
500, 900, the building costing $500, 900
and their stock, machinery, patterns,
designs, etc, being worth S30oWo
Their insurance is S202 600 Mr. Atkln-

Damaged $4,000.

Keith, Babcock 4 Rosdon on the 18th
began a survey of the Tioga, partially
wrecked at Chicago by an explosion. 1t
is now certain that aside from the
wrecking of her steel decks,
beams and deck stringers, steam
steering gear and rudder stock
the steamship sustained little dam
age. Her cylinder appears TO be
all right, and while her driving power
presents a sorry appearance IT Is not
seriously injured. a conservative APP
proximation of damages places the
amount at not more than $40, 1000.
