 The colony, it lis said, is within TOUT teen days of a pleasant steamship jour ney from England and it's population numbers 2S9,000, of which 12,000 are Por- tuguese and 4,0OO English, the balance consisting of negroes and Indians.

the mining districts of the section.
The Explosion.
Among the freight cars standing on
the tracks at Niedendorp were eight
trucks loaded with dynamite. As even
ing was approaching there was an ex-
plosion near the freight depot, so awful

ground Tor miles around was convulsed
as if by an earthquake, houses rocked
and fell. masses OF iron, earth, stone,
wood and human remains were hurled
s<yward, the windows of almost every
house in johannesburg were broken,
and people were blown through the
air like straws before gust Of wind.

spot where the eight trucks of dyna-
mite stood but a few minutes before

nesburg was literally blown TO pieces.

shapes of human remains, lin bs. heads
ana trunks, scorched and torn. The

minority at Viedendorp, but, in spite
OF this, quite number of white peo-
PIE, including six girls, are among the
many victims of this terrible calamity.

are horrible lines of memberles ), black
ened trunks of human bodies, rows
of charred arms and legs, crushed and
burned heads, bands, feet, pieces OF
nesh, ETC., tied up in bags. the whole
presenting sight as blood curdling
as was ever witnessed.
