earthquake, but proved to be an explosion
in tho nitroglyoerin and mixing houses
of tho California powder works at Pinol
across the bay.
The crew at the glycerin house--four in
number-nnd the foreman at the mixing
house were all killed, as well as nine Chi
nese working IL the latter department.
The explosion occurred IN tho nitrogyc-
erin house and was probably caused by
the Chinese dropping can of the explo-
sive. The cause cannot BIO definitely as
oertained, however, as all connected with

Chinese in the adjacent mixing room, and
at the sound Of the explosion all ran.

dous Huge pieces Of wood were thrown
into tho bay, distance of half a mile,
and nitrOglyecrin tanks were hurled dis
lance Of 500 yards. Hands, legs and other
parts OF the mutilnted remains of the
dead were scattered along the road for a
mile. The nitroglycorin house first went
up, then the mixing storohouso and gun
cotton house followed.
The nitroglyoerin house, Of which not
vestige now remains, was three story

cd s, 600 pounds Of nitroglycerin and 2, GOO
pounds OF hercules powder. A remark-
able feature Of the explosion is that, al
though the storehouse containing 1000
pounds Of hercules powder is completely
wrecked, It's contents are intact. In all
10000 pounds Of explosives went up with
a roar and a sheet Of flame. The fatali-
ties are as follows

lions Mr. Spaulding said About eight years
ago while running locomotive / contracted
sciatic rheumatism in my left side from my
hip down. II came on slow but sure and in
a few months | lost control entirely of that
member, it was just the same as if It was
paralyzed, | was totally unable to move out
of my room for a year and q half, six
months of which time ! was bed-ridden.
tried every remedy suggested, and had regu-
lar physicians in constant attendance on
me. / was bundled up and sent to Hot
Springs where ! spent three months under
the treatment Of the most eminent special
lsts all OF which did me no good, and
came back from the speing5 in a worse
condition than when / went ! came home
and laid Hat on my back and suffered
Che most excrpciatlag agones, screaming in
pain every time anybody walked across the
loom, the only ease / obtained being from
the constsut use Of opiates. After three
months Of this kind Of agony, during
which time my entire left leg persisted away
10 the very bone, my attention was ca Sed to
new remedy called Or. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People by Mr.. Allison who is
now train dispatcher at Texarkana, and
who was relieved Of lOG3motor ataxia Of
twenty years duration. At his urgent and
repeated solicitation ] consented to give
them trial, after taking a few doses
began 10 improve. continued taking the
pills aud kept right on improving until /
was finally cured. My leg is just the same
size now as the other one, and am sure
that paN Pills not only cured me but saved
my life.
The reFnrer next visited DR.. c. H. Stans-
bury, a era uate Of one Of the medical
schools Of Kentucky, and man who enjoys
the confidence of everybody in Longview.
He saii know that Mr. Spauldng had
a terribly severe attack Of sciatic rheumatism
Of waieh / tried to cure him used every
thing known TO my profession in vain, and

temperance Reform 10 England.


The temperance rsformers Of Great
Britain are more conservative in their
views than those occupying the same
position in this country TIE object Is
the same, but the Engllshman With his
natural cautiousness Is less radical and
more apt TO look before he leans a bill
introduced In the Commons last year,
similar to the prohlbitory laws Of the
United States, met with little favor, bu,
this year bill has been introduced by
Sir William Harcourt which "a likely tc
be more favorabiy considered.
This last bill is based mainly upon

ton Of licensed naloons in districts whsr,
liquor Is allowed TO be sold as OF old
