BRADFoRD, Penn, May 27.-Peter Hart, a
torpedo shooter, was instantly killed this eve
ming three miles north of this city by an ex-
plosion of glycerine. He had exploded 40
quart shot of glycerine in an oil well at Rev
City and had returned to his magazine. In
stead of firing the remainder of the load
which he had IN his wagon, he secreted several
cans Of it in "a hollow stump two hundred feet
from the magazine. Why he did this Is un-
known While 50 doing it IS supposed that
he accidentally dropped q can III the stump
and the explosion followed.
The report was heard for miles around, and
when persons in the neighborhood reached
the place all that could be seen was a deep
hole in the ground and a few fragments Of
human flesh scattered about to tell the story
Of the mans awful fate.
His remains when gathered up filed a
grape-basket Harts team was found few
rods away quite dead -Four cans of glycerine
were in the wagon still intact Within two
hundred feet of the spot was stored six thou
sand pounds of the explosive compound.

best Informed declare that the tenaciiy with
which Mr. parnell has olung to his position
rs leader OF the Irish NationalisS and
the desperation with which he has
fought the battle with his political oppo-
nents are largely due TO the influence of

SWEDEN HLARMED.
The Country in Many Places Cleared of
Young Men by immigration.
fPv Cable to The Times

LONDON, May 27.-A Stockholm dispatch
says that the Government of Sweden has or
dered an inquiry as to the conditions in parts
of that country said 10 be almost cleared of
young men by emigration to America. Young
women for domestic service are also becoming
scarce, and the wages demanded by servants
have risen to double the figure of few years
ago. The supply of conscripts IS running
short, and the burden Of military service
falls more heavily on those that re-
main as the aged and crippled
are generally left behind. while the young
and strong of both sexes emigrate The cOun-
try in many places looks as if the effective
population had been carried of by war, leav-
ing only the physically worthless. Another
fact that causes regret and anxiety in the
Swedish Government is the large proportion
of the pure light-hared Swedes among the
emigrants. this being the class akin to the
North Germans and English that has hereto

tie. St. Georges is themost fashionable Epis-
copal church in the city, but since it was part

the building without orders from him, and
the two armed detectives were faithful TO

Or. Hollands instructions as o threat in
forcing members of the st. Georges Church
Society from the building. The encount-
ers between the detectives and the sur
prised and shocked officers Of the church
society for the past two days have been the
topic Of discussion by the few who knew of
the strange occurrences. William Somerville,
one Of the vestryman, was confronted with

A Small Beer That Led In . Race Around
the Park.


the Park.
An active little deer gave the men employed
at the Geological Park lively chase day before
yesterday. 1t was presented to the park by Mrs.
Lansdale who lives on New Jersey avenue.
Capt. Blackburn, the superintendent, had it
conveyed to the park and put in the
Enclosure intended for the deer.
The little creature ran along by the fence and
at last gave a spring and jumped clean through
the fence, passing between the wires that form
the upper part of the fence. The animal
scampered through the grounds and out upon
the quarry roads. The park men and q
good many others joined in the chase
but the deer had the best of it. There was calf
tied with a rope to post in front of a house
near the Columbia road and the deer stopped
to make acquaintance with the calf. This
opportunity was seized by colored man who
caught the deer by one of its hind legs and
delivered it to the park men, who carried it
back to the enclosure.
Gold Dust, the elephant belonging to Mr.
Cooper and left at the park temporarily as the
companion OF the one presented to the park, is
suffering a little from the effects OF being
chained up too tightly. Captain Blackburn on
returning to the city from a recent trip found
one OF its legs swollen a little and had the
chains removed. The elephant is now doing
well.
