Rough Experience of the steamer Nerds
in Landing From Rio.

III LNnuiHB from hlos
:, NEW YoRK, March 2.-The steamer
Merida, Captain Tomssett, which arrived
this morning from Brazilian ports, had
quite an exciting time of it during the
five and half weeks she lay at Rio
Janeiro. She brought a deck load of
cattle from the River Platte to Rio, and
had considerable difficulty in discharg-
ing them. This was done by means of
lighters from mid-stream.
On one occasion when a lighter
having on board ~ head of cattle was
being lowed ashore a launch, belonging
to the insurgents, came alongside and
tried to purchase the animals. When
this was refused the tow lines were cut
and the lighter was taken in tow by the
rebel launch and brought alongside the
man-of-war La Libertad. The com
inander of the British war vessel Serius
was notified and he Immediately sent a
demand for instant return of the stolen
animals. This was at once complied
with, but two steers had already been
slaughtered.
The Merida left Rio Janeiro, January
18th. At that time the firing was almost
constant and several people were killed
every day on shore. As the Merida
steamed t.of Rio harbor, the cruiser
New York came in. At Bahia, Pernam-
buco and Para the situation was I'M

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.

--Oreht bahuge 10 property,
SCRANTON, Pa, March 3.-The barrel
mill Of the Moosic Powder Company at
the village of Moosic, five miles from this
city, exploded this morning, about o
o'clock, with force that was felt several
miles in every direction. One man was
killed and two so badly injured that their
recovery is doubtful The victims are:
Thomas Weir, engineer, scalded to death;
Wesley Bantam and Archie Dymond, bar
rel men, badly mangled and burned.
The explosion was terrific in its nature
and did much damage to property. Every
window in the town OF Moosic was smashed,
store fronts we're blown in and general de-
vastation marks the fearful conclusion.
Even in Avoca and Old Forge, two miles
away, the thunderous commotion broke
windows and ratified houses. In Moosic
numberless chimneys also were toppled
from roof tops. Women and children fled
in terror, and men ran excitedly into the
Streets and towards the mills to see the ex-
tent of the explosion there.
Banton and Dymond were alone in the
barrel mill at the time. Weir was work.
ing about the engines, fully 200 feet away
when the explosion occurred. The force
raised the engines and disconnected the
steam pipes. Weir was hurled to the floor
and before he could rise was enclosed in a
cloud of steam that parboiled him, causing
quick death. The men were all married
and have families.
