BOX FULL OF DEAD BODIES
Horrible Discovery of a Farmer While
Duck Shooting on the Missouri.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo March 21.-Comp-
ton Mccoy, a farmer residing q few
miles south of this city on the Missouri
river banks, was duck hunting on a
sand bar this afternoon when he dis
covered q large dry goods box floating
with the current. He hauled the box
to the shore, and breaking it open was
nearly overpowered by a terrible stencil
which arose from it.
An Investigation disclosed the fact
that the box was filled with dead bodies
in on advanced state of decomposition,
the remains being so badly decontposed
that Identification was impossible.
Coroner Reynolds made an ~investiga-
ton and found the remains were those
of four men and one woman, and ap-
pearances indicated they had been
murdered, the remains placed in the
box and then set adrift.

EXPLOSION TORE DOWN THE
TOWN,
The Immense Planet Flour Mills, of
Litchfeld, ILL.,, Destroyed
by Fire and Shock.

LITCHFIELD, Ill, March 81, 1884
remarkable explosion, far reaching in
it's effects, took place this morning at
haif-past three o'clock, about 81, goo, 600
worth Of property being destroyed. So
far as is known but one life was lost,
but it is feared that many invalids will
not recover from the shock and that
the death roll directly attributable to
the explosion will reach at least fifteen.
Not q business house in this place,
which is a town of about eight thou
sand inhabitants, was exempt from
damage and many buildings were par
TALLY destroyed, while the force of the
explosion partially wrecked buildings
in the neighboring villages Of Gillespie
and Butler, Rillsboro and Clyde.
The noise of the explosion, which was
in the large "Planet" or Kehlor -four
ing mills, brought nearly every man,
| woman and child in the town to the
scene, and there was an hour of the
widest excitement and confusion. A
fire preceding the explosion broke out
it one of the elevators attached to the
mills, but before the Waterman could
put in an alarm the blaze had cOmmuni-
Gated to the mills and was beyond con-
troll. The flames ran through the mas,
sive seven story buildings, although
fed by trains of powder, and when
they reached that portion Of the mills
where the -four dust was the thickest
the structures blew up and went to
pieces as though dynamite had been
| placed under them. The air was filed
| with all sorts of debris, which, in fall
ing, crushed many buildings in the
neighbOrhOOd.
II is said the PLANET" mills were the
largest steam mills in the world, and
the force of the explosion can be con-
ceived when it is known that towns 80
miles distant wired in this afternoon
stating that the shock was distinctly
heard there.
The three elevators attached to the
mills had a capacity of 900, 600 bushels
| of wheat and the loss on them will be
heavy. The one in which the fire
started is known as "a, " and is the one
nearest the mills. It is possible the
fire might have been controlled when
it first started had the Waterman been
able to work the hydrant, but the lat
ter was out of order and no water could
be obtained from it. When the fire
department arrived there was nothing
to do but to stand by and see the vari-
GUS structures burn.

Negro was scared by red hot irons
from the soles of his feet up bis legs

were burned out by thrusting the hot
irons in them his tongue was burned
in the same manner, and then the
iron was ramed down his throat. The
poor devil was then covered with oil
and n big fire set under him and lie
was cremated in this barbarous mau-
ner and amid the plaudits of the
assembled whites of Texas. The In.

Truckee Dramatic and Literary Club.

An exceedingly interesting meeting of
the above named club was held at Mrs.
Graham's residence, Truckee, on Mon
day evening, February 27th. The pro-
ceedings were both amusing and instruct
I've to the persons present. The object of
the club is mutual self advancement in
the art of public speaking, dramatic en-
tertaiment and etc. They propose to give
a literary and dramatic exhibition enti-
tied "1002 Arabian Nights" about the
last OF March. The proceeds of the first
entertainment are t. be devoted to the
purchase of books for the Public School
Library. We think this a good move on
the part of our neighbors of Truckee
and think it could well be copied by our
young people. The study of literature
and the drama has a tendency to elevate
and educate all who take part, especially
If there are no drones in the hive. We
wish them the greatest success in their
laudable undertaking.
