They Saw 1t.

The Hazleton Standard gives the following
account of the blowing up of Miller &
Bacherts powder mill in the Catawissa
Valley, between Ringtown and Zion's Grove,
on Monday: The explosion was witnessed by
Nicholas Stoegner, Abe Thrash and Elder
Spangler, of West Hazleton, who were in the
vicinity at the time on fishing expedition.
When within 200 yards Of the mill Stoegner
asked Thrash whether he ever saw powder
mill explode, he replied in the negative and
no sooner had he uttered the words, when
the engineer of the mill, who was on the
second floor appeared at the window and
shouted: Lookout, boys, there she goes,
and second later there was an explosion,
scattering the debris right and left and
filling the air with smoke. The engineer
escaped by dropping out of the window to
the ground He sustained several body
bruises This is the second explosion Of this
mill within year, The damage is esti-
mated at $500. The escape of the three
| West lIazletonians was a miracle.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad changed time
tables on Sunday last ana there is a general
howl all along the line, is no time tables are
suited to the travelling public. Drummers
especially are the most vigorous objectors,
and not without cause, as their trips are
knocked out of all shape by this lack of
knowledge. Landlords at Mahanoy City
voice the sentiment of many of them, while
the life Of landlords of town have been made
miserable by questions concerning trains
which they are all at sea about. The pas
senger department seems to be somewhat
slow in getting the proper information before
the public as well as too parsimonious to
advertise their time table where the public
can promptly ascertain what changes have
been made.

FALLS CITY, Neb, MAY 2O.-Al eTorts
to ascertain the extent of the damage done
by the recent cyclone in the Otoe res

of forty killed and many injured cannot
be verified. The report is said to have been
brought from the interior of the reserya-
ton 10y courier. News travels slowly on
the reservation under favorable circum-
stances, and with all forms Of communi-
cation rendered difficult by reason Of high
water, bad roads and wrecked wires, it IS
exceptionally difficult to verify the present
rumors. Citizens Of this county held Il
mass meeting here and appointed COM
r.,ttee TO procure funds for the cyclone
victims of this immediate locality.

N.urpny's Confirmation Reconsidered.

WAsHINGToN, May 2O.-The senate in
executive session yesterday confirmed the
nomination Of Mr. Dominic l. Murphy to
be commissioner of pensions, and then re-
considered its vote and postponed con-
firmqtion to a future day. This latter ac-
ton was due to an objection made by sen
ator Pasco to immediate action upon the
nomination Of General Napoleon j. F.
Dana, to succeed Mr.. Murphy as deputy
commissioner. The objection was su-H-
cient to throw the matter over. The friends
of the two men concluded That courtosy
demanded that notification in the two
cases should go to the president at the
same time, and Murphy's case was recon-
sidered with thnt end in view.

THERE is not one man in hundred that
would think Of carrying as much as ten
dollars in silver in his pocket. There is not
one man in a thousand who ON presenting
a check for fifty or hundred dollars at bank,
would thank the banker for handing him out
silver dollars for the whole amount of It,
On the contrary he would take such action as
almost an ahront and would insist ON paper
or gold as more convenient. And yet there
are some people who seem to imagine that
silver is being actually Disseminated against
by the god-bug conspiators. There is ne
lack of silver dollars to-day for any man who
prefers that form of currency.
