Died..

Rev. S. s. Brown died at his resi-
dence near Sharpsburg last week. He
had lived in this county for about IS
years, where he endeared himself to
those with whom he had lived, and
where his family have intermarried
with our people, forming extensive
family relations. All of whom will
sadden at the news and condole with
the family in their great loss. He was
a most affectionate father and hus-
band, ,ever jealous in his work and
consistent exemplar of his calling.

lar entertainment which secured the
commentator of every one. The drill

Shackleford, was OF such excellence as
to excite the admiration of old "con-
feds" The young ladies, as usual ex-
c e lied the boys. The children in their
manuevers and dress was perfectly
splendid. Miss Fannie Magruder sang a
solo, ".Home Sweet Home, with special
pathos as she had been absent from
home some time: Miss Estelle Ran
dali rendered several solos in her usual
grand style. Violin duets were execut-
ed by MissesNannie Priestley and Maud
and also by the Misses Or
rick in that soft an d melodious style
for which stringed instruments
in such deft and skillful hands are ca
pable of producing. The Home Star
Band. the pride of Canton and the
'ssine qua non" of all entertainments
made the air and walls reverberate to
The strains OF their splendid music.
The exhibition was given for the ben
sfit of the Episcopal Church, and we

THE GREATEST EVER KNOWN.
Probable Cause Of the Du Points Gunpow-
der Explosion.

The greatest explosion Of gunpowder
the world has ever known took place
at the Du Points works on the 7th of
October, 1890. With their usual eau
/ tiOus policy, says McClure's Magazine.
the Du Points have never stated lust
how great quantity Of powder ex-
ploded at this time, but II is certain
that three magazines and three mills
in the upper yard were blown up. one
after another, and a safe estimate will
put the quantity Of powder exploded
at one hundred and fifty tons In this
explosion thirteen men and one woman
were instantly killed, while twenty
two men and nine women were injured.
some fatally.
The explosion occurred little after
three o'clock in the afternoon II be-
gan in the magazine for hexagonal
powder, the kind used in large guns.
and the most dangerous, being made
not in grains, but in reddish. six-sided
cakes about an inch thick with hole
running through the center. These
cakes look like nothing so much as the
nuts ON wagon wheel At the time
of the explosion cakes OF powder were

lined with tin, each box being about
three feet square. The tin Innings pro-
jected above the tops of the boxes
about two inches. and when "a box was
packed. were folded down over a tin
cover fitted closely upon the cakes of
powder. 1t was the duty of one of the
workmen, William Green, TO solder
these tin edges down upon the tin
cover, a hot iron being used for this
purpose.
On the day in question what he
feared came 20 pass. A fellow work
man, William McGarvey. was bringing
him the hot irons from charcoal
brazier about twenty-five yards dis
tant. Green stood just at the door of
the open magazine, and all around him
were uncovered boxes with the hexap-
onal powder, ready 10 be sealed and
slowed away. There were also dozens
of boxes that had been sealed. Just
what happened viii never be known, for
neither Green nor McGarvey were left
to tell the story. But the probability
Is that one of the soldering irons was a
little too hot and by touching particle
Of dirt on the tin cover produced the
deadly spark.

A SUMMING UP.

1t should be remembered the Horr.
Harvey debate, now a matter of his.
tory, was as TO the reliability of the
statistics presented in COINS Finan-
ciai School, not as 10 the deductions
the author drew from those statistics.
That the statistics themselves, with the
single exception of the forty thousand
millions of dollars, claimed by Coin d
TO be owing by the American peo-
pie, were not impeached all who
followed the debate must admit.
They must admit also the debate
has cleared the atmosphere surround
ing this question and was generally
speaking to the benefit of both sides to
the controversy. Mr. Horr made as
good a case, probably, for his side. as
can be made. He presented some
points clearly and so concisely they
may well be taken as standards for
others. Every point he had he pushed
for all it is worth and no point of value
advanced by any other single gold
standard advocate was forgotten. That
he convinced any one not convinced
before is neither here nor there, though
all must agree he showed conclusively
there were two sides to the question.
That he did not come up to the cxpec-
tations of his friends, that he did not
annihilate his antagonist as was so con-
lidently expected of him, is due to the
weakness of the cause he defended.
Mr.. Harvey, on the contrary, stands
stronger with his friends than he did
before the debate and has won the re-
spect of those who have so increasingly
opposed him. He met the issue square
ly, dignifiedly, and with an earnest
ness which was at times intense. He
displayed, as he has not heretofore had
an opportunity to display, the vast
OF information on the subject
he has collected and has at command.
That alone should and would give him
a place in the literature of today and
among the men of today. The debate
attracted much interest. it was read
from Maine 10 California. from the Ze-
NTH to the Crescent City, and to say
that those who were before believers i'm
the use of gold and silver as money of
ultimate redemption haye been
in that belief is only to
assert fact as true as is the other fact
that Mr.. Horn failed utterly to rein
