ROME, April 23.-About O'Clock this
morning a tremendous explosion shook,
the CITY to it's foundation spreading
terror and dismay on all sides.
The cupola of the house of parliament
Immediately after the explosion shook
violently and then collapsed with
crash that added still further to the
feeling of terror.
The scenes in the streets and in the
houses after the explosion, have, possibly
never before been equalled during the
history of modern Rome.
All the thoroughfares were strewn with
bricks, stones, splinters and other debris
hurled there by the force of the power

When something like order was re-
stored the real cause of the explosion be-
came known. 1t was discovered that an
immense powder magazine at Possier
Pantalo, four kilometers from here, had
exploded and that it had caused enor-
nous damage to the neighboring fort,
which was filled with soldiers.
The officer in command of the fort
heard rumbling sound previous to the
final explosion, and hastily ordered his
soldiers to leave the fort. He succeeded
in .averting a terrible disaster; as it was
several peasants who were in the vicin-
ity of the scene of the explosion were
killed outright and a number of others
were more or less injured.
All the houses within the radius of a
kilometer of the scene of the explosion
are seriously damaged.
The exact number of the killed and
wounded is yet unknown. Two officers
were dangerously wounded and fully 125
civilians have been taken to the differ
ent hospitals.
Several famous stained glass windows
in the vatican building were shattered
The full amount of the damage is not
known at present but the loss is severe

The magazine contained 250 tons o.
powder. The cause of the explosion is
unknown.

and Lost by the Recent Rise.
SAN FRANC1LCo, April 21.-The big
rise in price has brought correspondingly
large prfits to California operators who
had judgment, means and nerve to buy
before the boom came. In this market
George w. McNear, admittedly the grain
king of California, is said to be ahead
the most. His profits are estimated to
be about 100000 at the present time.
Next to McNear comes Starr & Co., the
great milling firm. Their profits are
said to have been nearly 100000. Next
comes William Dresbach. Mr.. Dresbach
made about $3.50, 900 in wheat charters
before the big boom came. This gave
him the requisite capital to load up with
the cereal. He was a big buyer of op
tions when wheat was quoted at between
81 80 and s. go but he has sold out num-
ber of times, gone short, bought in again
and gone long so frequently that his
winnings are not so great as they would
have been had he ''stood pat' on his
original purchases. He has possibly
made 100000 in addition to his big
profits on wheat charters.
Charles B. Stone has had similar ex-
perience on a smaller scale to that of
Dresbach He bought and sold and
bought and sold but is possibly $50, 1000
ahead. Then came Blum, Baldwin &
Eyre with reported winnings of $40, 900 to
$50, 600 and a number of other operators
are named who have gained from $1,000
to $4,000.
There have also been heavy losses.
The heaviest loss in this market has
been made by friend of Jacob Eppinger,
who is reported to be short on 10000
tons of wheat at low prices. The Alders
also have some customers who are largely
short, but all parties referred to have

and very reluctantly all his friends and sea
faring men in general have come to the
conclusion that the vessel was lost in the
December gales.
Such confidence did the captain have in
his invention that he took on the voyage
his wife and l5-year-old niece, Miss Ricka-
by. The engineers and crew brought the
total on board up to ten. The route laid
out was the most southern, the intention
being to stop at the Azores for fresh sup
plies, but the vessel has not arrived there.
The Norton was built rs yawl rugged
yacht and without steam. She easily re-
sisted the worst efforts of wind and sea Off
Cape Hatteras. She was SO feet long and
1919 feet in beam, with mean draught of
6 feet AZ inches. 1t is thought that the
addition of a compound engine, with cylin-
ders 81 by 10I inches in diameter, de
creased her buoyancy and destroyed her
capacity TO right herself in any storm.
Capt Norton was born in Albany, n. Y.
about sixty years ago, and his father being
captain of n ship he went to sea early, had
sailed in all oceans and been twice around
the world. After long experience he be-
came president Of the Norton Naval Con
struction and Shpbuilding company, and
while ~ that place designed this vessel,

death

An automatic machine, which forms,
fills, weighs and seals packages, is being
introduced into houses where large quanti-
ties Of fine cut tobacco, soda, starch, etc.,
are put up. The operations of the machine
are curious and novel in every particular,
and yet quite simple The machine con
sists of series Of forming blocks, recep-
tacles, folders, gummers and feeders, all
working in harmony, so that the packages
are being smoothly and continuously pro
duced. The forming blocks successfully
size the paper, which instantly afterward
is wrapped around them, folded and gum
med at the end. The paper sacks are then
plunged into receptacles, filed, folded on
top and sealed. The manifest saving in
labor thus effected would seem to warrant
the claim Of the inventor that if the ma
chine is worked to its full capacity it will
pay for itself in 275 working days-New

Special Agent Frederick Howard Wines,
who has charge Of statistics of pauperism
and crime for the census bureau, has re-
ported regarding the number Of convicts in
state prisons and penitentiares in the
United States on June 1, 1890. The figures
given, when compared with the report
made by the same special agent for the
tenth census. show an actual increase Of
Q,69j in the number Of penitentiary con-
victs. The population of the country ac-
cording to the tenth census was 80, l55, 7S3
The number Of convicts in penitentiaries at
that date was 3OG59, or, including the
leased prisoners, 35, ,52S. The ratio Of con-
victs to the population was 1O9in each mill
ion. The eleventh census shows the popu-
lation TO be SO G22, 80, and the number of
convicts 45, 233 the ratio Of convicts to the
population being 10, an increase of only 10
to the million. Mr. Wines, who, according
to Superintendent Porter, is undoubtedly
the first authority in the country in all
matters appertaining to the statistics Of
pauperism and crime, is of the opinion that
this growth is not alarming, since further
study may result in an explanation Of it,
or even in showing that crime of a serious
character is rather on the decline in Amer
lea than on the increase.

MRS. j. Q. GEEENwooD.

the robbers had gone BY persistent and
painful effort he released himself from the
chair to which he was fastened and slipped
his feet out of their bonds. Weak and
dazed he could not stand Neither could
he loosen the ropes that held his arms be-
hind his back. But anxiety for his wife
gave him courage, and he painfully rolled
over and over until he reached the door to
her room. This he managed to open.
Making his way to the couch, he tried to
rouse her, but she uttered no response to
his feeble appeals.
1t had taken two hours for Capt Green
wood TO get from the chair to the bed. He
now resolved upon longer journey to the
road, 100 yards away, where he hoped to
attract the attention Of some belated passer
by and secure aid. Just as the clock
struck II he reached the hallway. There
he again met the robbers, and there began
the actual fendishness and tragedy of the
night.
The two men, whom the captain de-
scribes as being an American and Swede,
assailed him with the epithets of astonish-
ment and rage. They threw him from his
knees to his back, and the American fired
two bullets into his head. One passed
through the left cheek and dropped into
the mouth. The other ranged upward
after striking the cheek bone. Greenwood
didn't lose his senses. but simulated death.

ice, but, II there are degrees in villainy OF
this sort, first rank must be given to the
killing Of Mrs. Greenwood. The tale of
her assassination is horrible one.
Capt. !. O. Greenwood and his wife lived
on an extensive ranch six mikes from Napa
Cal. They we're cbildless couple, of mid
die age and considerable wealth. They
leased their lands to tenants and employed
no servants in or about their handsome
residence. One afternoon not long ago
Mrs Greenwood drove to a neighbours for
n brief visit while her husband busted
himself with various tasks at the barn.
Returning to the house in the early even
ing, he was met on the threshold by two
strangers who pointed pistols at his head
and ordered him to throw up his hands
and gagged him and forced down his
throat some sort Of stupefying drug. At
this iuncture Mrs Greenwood arrived, and
leaving her horse standing by the rear
porch advanced to the door. As she
opened it one of the men tried to seize her
She stepped backward and fell from the
porch 10 the ground, where she was pin
ioned and then dragged to the kitchen
She, too, was tied hand and foot, gagged
and dOsed with the opiate After that the
miscreants carried her to another room
and threw her on a bed. a thorough
search of the house for plunder followed.
At about Q o'clock Capt. Greenwood par
TALLY recovered from the effects of the
narcotic he had been compelled to swal-
low. He heard no sound and supposed

Ahnndoned Her LIttIc Ones.

Parents must have sunk to the lowest
depths Of poverty or dcpravity when they
leave their little ones to the chances OF
starvation or the cold charity of strangers.
Yet there are such people, and hardly a
day passes when the papers do not record
some case of abandonment. One evening
recently in New York city Policeman
Matthew Cooney, ofthe East Eighty eighth
street station, found Jennie Tracy, years
old, and John Tracy, l year old, in the
basement Of No. 81 East Seventy eighth
street. They were without food, and we're
sparsely clothed. Their father is prisoner
on Blackwcll's Island, and their mother
had deserted them, The girl was taken to
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children and the baby was cared for at
police headquarters.

Of Wheeland was so great that even the
