ORANGE, N. j., July 2S.-The Crane
Chemical Works, of Springfield, blew up
about o'clock tonight. The shock was
tremendous, and the vibrations were
plainly felt here. four miles from the
scene. It was thought to be an earth
quake. Windows were shattered mile
and half from the works. The chem
cal works consisted of a number of brick
and wooden buildings. There were
not more than six houses in the immedi-
ate vicinity, and these were occupied by
the employees. The company manufac-
tured varnish and lacquer, and carried a
big stock of oils aud chemicals. When
the explosion took place, building after
building was shaken to pieces. The en-
ployes houses fell about the heads of
the inmates. At first it was thought
that many were injured, but probably
only one was fatally hurt. A night fire.
man is the only one missing. The ruins
burst into flames. The citizens of
Springfield and Millburn fastened to the
scene to put out the fire.

"Hoing Their own CORN,

Judge Hobbs took the chair and in a
brief and happy speech congratulated
the convention upon the favorable
auspices under which it met He gave a
cursory glance at the condition of the
country when the Republican party
came into power and compared that
with it's splendid position today after
thirty years of almost uninterrupted
Republican administration. The con-
trasting positions of the parties at present
upon financial and other economical
questions were dwelt upon, and the vast
difference in favor of the Republican
party sharply emphasized. Turning his
attention to the immediate affairs of
the state and county he spoke eloquently
and amid much applause of the
gallant soldier and admirable
citizen who is the standard
bearer of the Republicans of Maine in
the present campaign. He exhorted his
hearers to earnest and unflagging work,
cautioning them not to waste time look
ing over the fence and watching their
neighbors' crop, but to bend to it and
''hoe their own corn.'' Pausing to pay
a tribute of respect to the personal amia-
bility of Democratic Candidate Ingra-
ham he predicted that gentlemans disas-
trous defeat, and closed his remarks by
glowing tribute to Thomas B. Reed,
which provoked the convention to loud
and prolonged applause.

cleared hay fields, large attendance of
interested spectators. Two brass bands,
one from Waterboro, the other from
Sanford, were present and played
martial airs at intervals during the
progress of the convention, inflaming
higher zeal that never fags-for the

In order that our courts Of justice may
