CINcINNATI, Jan. 3O.-A fearful explo-
sion occurred in the Diehl fireworks
plant at Reading, Hamilton County,
twelve miles north of here, to-day.
Henry Horn was burned to death, Gus
Gerse and Viola White fatally injured
and twenty-five other employees received
painful burns and bruises. Only two of
them, however, were at all seriously in
jured.
The fireworks are manufactured in
ti1ty-one small wooden buildings, each
about fifteen feet square. The explosion
occurred in one of these little structures,
where the stars are dried. 1t is supposed
the room became overheated and the
highly inhammable nature Of the nate
rial about rendered the explosion natu-
raj sequence. When the explosion oc-
CURED stars went flying through the air
long distance, setting fire to other build
lngs, and in turn setting off explosives in
them. Fifteen Of the buildings were de-
stroyed and glass was shattered in houses

cisco, and Leavenworth street is named

went to Sonoma, bought large tract of
land and laid out grounds for large
Episcopal college. He spent thousands
of dollars getting ready, but through
some hitch the college was never built.
though the faculty was regularly organ

lister, and during the early days estab-
lished and conducted a hospital in San

THE LOWER COURT ERRED.
New Trial Granted in the Case &
Hamilton VS.. the Central Pacific.

New Trial Granted in the Case of
Hamilton VS.. the Central Pacific.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3O.-The United
States Court of Appeals, sitting in bank.
to-day granted new trial in the case of
Asa NJ. Hamilton VS.. the Central Pacific
Railroad. Hamilton in the lower court
secured a verdict of $4,000 against the
Central Pacific as damages for being
elected from one of the company's trains
and arrested at Lovelock4, New.
Hamilton refused to sign a first-class
unlimited ticket when requested to by
the conductor, and resisted an attempt to
put him off the train. When the train
reached Lovelocks an officer was called
and arrested Hamilton. The latter
brought suit against the company for
100000.
Judge Hawley of the United States
District Court, before whom the case was
tried, held that the ticket was void unless
signed, and the company had a right to
eject the passenger, but that the jury
must decide whether the officer called in
to make the arrest was an officer of the
State of Nevada or special officer Of the
Central Pacific Company. The jury de-
cided that the arresting officer was
special officer, and awarded damages.
The case was carried to the United
States Court of Appeals, which tribunal
ruled that the lower court erred in sub
mitting the question Of the arresting
officer to jury, as the evidence showed
that he was an officer of the law.
