To an observer of the remarks and
acts of people in general, it is one of
the queerest acts of ths average man
and woman to criticise other people
for this and that, things probably
that the critics could in no way &C
complish half as well as tho people
they criticise. One of the m )st COM
mon things to criticise is the sermons
of preachers. which is quite amusing
in the light of the fact that the crit
les themselves could not preach a
sermon of any kind, if their ever lsst.
ing salvation were at stake. But
that is the way with the most of frail
humanity. They will talk about
things they know the least of.
Some man whose name IS not at |
hand, deliberately stole q hitching
strap from the bride of Lev; Rem
ningers horse that was tied to post
along Main street, last Sturdy ev-
ening. A number of citizens saw
the transaction and soon the culprit |
was in the hands of the law and be-
fore Justice G. B. Horning. Rem
nipger was lenient and settled the |
case upon promises of reform given
and payment of costs The horse
that was united, never noticed that it |
had been unloosed, but if the beast
had bsen started. there is no telling
what injury might have been done
by a runaway horse dragging a
buggy.
The explosion of dynamite that
was being thawed at a fiie at Bixler's
water station on the railroad east of |
Lswistown on the 22nd inst, killed
Lawrence Moist of McVeytown, and |
seriously hurt eleven other men at |
work there. Eight of the injured |
are Italians aud are known by num-
bers. Thsother injured are Thomas
Ragen, Howard F. Smith. II. Wade,
colored. A correspondent being ON
the scene shortly after tbs disaster,
despatched as follows to tho Altoona
Tribune:
just how the explosion occurred,
will probably never be known posi-
lively, as Moist, the man in charge of
the explosives, is dead. The most
correct surmise and statement of the
facts are to the effect that he had
some powder and dynamite thawing
at the fire, and ha 1 them too close,
when the heat fired them and they
exploded with the above result. The
force of the explosion was terrific,
the noise being heard in town.
Moist was badly burned and cut
and had ons leg blown off between
the knee and ankle, and was other
wise cut up. He only lived about an
hour after the accident.
Wade, the colored man, had his
arm broken and both legs torn open
between the thigh and knee. It is
thought he cannot survive.
Smith is cut on tho face, hip,
shoulder end body and is seriously
injured.
Ragan ha. several bad cuts and
flesh wounds on his limbs and body.
Two of the Italians are badly injur-
ed, being cut in almost every portion
of the body that was exposed to the
explosion.
The other six have cuts and bruises
that are not serious. if properly cared
for.
Smith, the injured man, is about
the only one from whom information
could be secured. His story is that
while working, he felt himself struck
on the back by something and heard
the explosion. He started to run, but
before he could get away was struck
aeyeral times more. After he got
