LoNG ISLAND CITY IL. H., Dec. 2S.-
just in the rear of a row of tenements
numbered from q to . Jackson avenue
IS the entrance to the tunnel that the New
York City and Long Island Tunnel Com
pany IS putting under East River be-
tween this city and New York.
The dynamite used in blasting froze
last night, and when the men started to
work this morning they tried to thaw the
dynamite out. Taking their barrels of
dynamite they placed it behind one Of the
tenements and built roaring fire beside
1t, and the fire and dynamite were left
alone while the men went down the tun-
mel shaft. The fire burned nearer the
dynamite than it had been supposed it
would, and at s o'clock there was ter
rible explosion that scattered death and
destruction around it,
The shock was like an earthquake.
The men i'll the tunnel were not hurt. but
persons living in the tenements made up
the list Of killed and injured. The tene-
ments were scattered. The Postoffice is
at No. q, and the letter cases were
wrecked into strips and the clerks hurled
among the debris.
Immediately after the crash wave Of
fire swept through the lower part of the
tenement, cutting off all possible escape
through the entrance. Some Of the ten
ants managed to crawl to the windows
and made their escape that way,
The explosion was heard all over Long
Island. Large plate glass windows were
shattered as tar away as four blocks from
the scene. Across the street doors We're
blown OIL the hinges, counters over
turned and persons knocked senseless
Scores OF persons We're injured in this
way.
When the excitement had somewhat
abated prompt search was made for the
untortunates, resulting as follows:

GRIDLEY FLOODED,
THE BRUNsoN DIVORCE.

Mrs. General Stoneman Nindicated by
tho Court-A Divorce Granted.
Los ANGELES, Dec. 28.-Judge Shaw
to-day handed down decision in the
Brunson divorce case. The court finds
that Mrs. Brunson is entitled to divorce,
because the defendant, Judge Brunson,
willfully deserted his wife, and has refused
to live with her as husband since Aug
ust, 1889. Second, the court finds as to
the correspondent, Mrs. General Stone
man, that the charges of Mrs. Brunson
are untrue that Judge Brunson was ever
guilty of adultery with her, Mrs. Stone
man, the said allegations being proven to
be false and wholly untrue in every par
ticular. Third, that a letter charged to
have been received from Mrs. StOneman
by Judge Brunson, and copied into the
complaint, was not received by Judge
Brunson. All the findings are for Judge
Brunson, except that of dosertion, and
on that alone is the plaintiff given judg-
ment.

The New Utah Gold Mining Camp
Baptized IN Blood.
DENVER Coli, Dec. 2S.-The San Juan
mining camp has followed the precdents
of all great mining excitements by bap-
tizing itself with human blood. A courier
arrived in Bluff City to-day and reported
a terrible battle yesterday, in which over
100 shots were fired. 1t is reported that
eleven were killed and large number
wounded. George Ferguson. an old
prospector, and James Cody, known as
"Blind jim" one of the best known
characters in Arizona and New Mexico
mining camps, are among the slain.
\ private dispatch from Dolores this
evening confirms the terrible report.
The trouble grew out of a dispute over
certain claims which had been staked
out. The direct cause was the discovery
Of large nuggets at the bottom of a small
stream. Up to the time Of finding the
nuggets everything was all right, but the
sight of gold to the miners acted like
red wagon TO bull. Each man claimed
he had first located the claim, and to
settle the dispute guns were brought to
bear. over forty men engaged in the
terrible conflict. The battle will GER
tainly bring a number of mining men to
camp, for old prospectors regard the
daily conflict as a sure indication of a
strike Of strikes.
