gaged in Exeavating.

NEW York, Jan. 23.-The premature
explosion of blast at 224 East Eighty
first street killed two persons and seri-
ously injured three others. The names
Of those killed are James Dooley, aged
10, and James Cox, aged 41 years.
The injured are Charles F. Wilson,
aged 81; James Kennedy, aged AZ, and
Tony Rosa, aged 35, The injured were
taken to the Presbyterian hospital.
The men were employed in excavating
the street, and as there was considerable
rock there dynamite was used for blast
ing purposes. One of the cartridges had
been left in blast hole, and workmen,
who was not aware of its presence,
started to clean the hole out. AS he
touched the cartridge tremendous ex
plosion occurred, in which two men
were killed and the whsle street shook
as though an earthquake had passed
through the city. Pieces of granite,
some Of which weighed 300 pounds,
were thrown like hull stones. Windows
all along the center of the block were
smashed, and the falling of broken glass
made the inmates of the houses panic
stricken.
Several policemen and q number OF
other persons rushed to the spot, where
a fearful sight met their gaze. Lying
back of the embankment, only few
feet from where he had touched Off the
cartridge, they found Dooley. Tho
whole top of his head was shattered
His body was cruelty torn, and naked
bone protruding from his elbow showed
where his forearm had once been. He
was still breathing, but in short time
was dead. Back about fifteen feet they
found Cox. A huge block of stone had
evidently struck him in the side, just
above the hips, and had torn away and
scattered his intestines over the rocks.
He was instantly killed.

as we'll for his sound common sense rs
for mis- ability as a presiding officer. in
which capacity none OF his decisions
were ever overruled.
His congressional career was char
acterized by the same faithfulness and
assiduity In the performance of every
duty that distinguished him at Lam
sing. Although a member for only one
term, and consequently with no OBJ
portunity to make himself especially
prominent, his career at Washington
was nevertheless honorable and intelli-
gent. He came TO the front AS an adj
vocate of the agricultural interests of
the country.
He was chairman of the republi-
can state conventions in the spring
of 1879 and the spring of 1891. and
chairman OF the senatorial caucus in
1881, when Mr.. Conger was elected
United States senator.
In 1890 Secretary of the Treasury
Foster. recognizing Mr.. Rich as an au-
thority on wool matters, appointed him
member OF commission to revise
the standard wool samples of the gov
ernment, a work in which he is still en-
gagged. He has recently been APP
