An Awful Explosion.

ALLIANCE, O., Oct. 9.--At $3.50 this
evening an east-bound freight train
on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne e. Chi
cago railroad passed the village OF
North Lawrence, few miles east OF
this city. A little later the inhabi'
tants of the village were startled by a
terrific explosion. The train had a
car containing over 200 kegs OF
powder which in some mysterious
manner became ignited causing the
explosion and the complete wrecking
of the train. Engineer Colvin and his
fireman, whose name cannot be learned
were fatally burned.

LONDON, Oct. THE reporter of the
United Press had an interview yester'
day with the secretary of the Brazilian
legation in this city, with reference to
the situation in Brazil. The secretary
declared that many of the sensational
reports purporting to describe the sit
nation at Rio were utterly unreliable
and often specially manufactured. He
added that the legation had received
dispatches Thursday and yesterday
from Rio Janeiro, and that these dis
patches made no reference whatever to
a renewed bombardment of the city by
the ebel admirars fleet.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


VIcKsBuRG, Oct. 4.--Upon the whole
weather conditions have been favorable
for the harvesting OF the staple products.
cotton and corn, and the general out
look for these crops has not changed ma
terially during the week just passed.
No damage is reported to have been done
either cotton or corn by the cold wave
OF Tuesday and Wednesday. Cotton has
opened very rapidly, and picking in
nearly every section has continued un-
interrupted. There is hardly any COM
plant Of injury to cotton by worms, but
the abundant use OF Paris green, to-
gether with the dry weather, Is causing
the shedding Of leaves and small bolls
to marked degree. Rot continues to
cut the crop short in the Yazoo bottom.
The heavy rains at the close OF last week
injured the staple slightly by throwing
dirt on the lower bolls where open.
There is general complaint this week
that the staple OF cotton is found to be
unusually light, and while with few ex-
ceptions the prospective yield remains
undiminished, the defect in quality
may prove of additional detriment to
the planters in this State. In some Sec
tions very little ginning has been done,
the farmers either holding their cotton
with the hope OF receiving better prices
later in the season or turning their en-
tire attention to gathering the crop
while the conditions are favorable.
A large amount Of corn has been
housed during the past week, and the
complaint seems to be general that the
quality is not good either the ears show
lack of full development or they have
been marred by rot. In most sections
in the southern portion of the State the
entire crop has been harvested, and
here it appears that the yield has been
slightly below that of last season.
