A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
II Kills Two Men and Tears Up Street
of Lawrence, Mass.

VI IHWTtuttf NA"o's
LAWRENCE, Mass. Feb. "A frightfus
explosion at 10:3O o'clock last night
tore up a portion of Broadway on the
south side, causing loss of life and great
damage to property. The entire city was
shaken and excitement is intense. Two
men were killed. The dead are as follows
John Lee, of Melrose, and Alex Gordon,
Of Buffalo, N. Y, the engineer and fire
man in the engine house, in which were
two large iron compressed air tanks for
furnishing power TO drills used In con
struction Of the sewer.
1t is not yet determined what caused the
explosion, but it is thought the tanks first
exploded from over pressure, which was
followed by another explosion in the sewer
trench. The concussion was so severe
that great quantities of window glass in
the neighborhood was wrecked and the
shock was felt in Lowell and Haverhill,
ten miles away, east and west
Two large boilers and air COMPRISING
tanks in the engine house were completely
shattered the house blown into frag-
ments, some pieces of which, as well as
pieces of iron, were scattered hundreds of
feet away. A large quantity of dynamite
was stored near by, but the contractor de
clares this is intact. The bodies of the
two men were found in the ruins horribly
mangled.

IL all is darkness silence, yet tbs rest
1t is not rest. There is no rest whore th4re
Is no consciousness. Rest implies con-
sciousness. We lie down, we sit down 10
rest; we enjoy the repose. If death is an
Inhalation, there is nothingi neither light

There is nothing There are no words by
which we can express annihilation, be-
cause there are no thoughts by which we

nothingness is one of tho thousand indi-

WHEN the Supreme Court decided about a
year ago that the macadamizing of IA street
was practically the paving of it, a severe blow
was administered to all the progressive cities
of the state that are desirous of having
paved streets. All that the non-progrcssive
element has to do now is to prove that the
street in front of their residence was
macadamizcd fifty years ago aud they escape
the assessment of paving under the modern
foot-front rule Several suits have recently
cen decided in this way.

FRANKFORT Ky, Feb. 4.-Politioians
are looking for lively times in Frankfort
during the week, as Senators o ,ilvie and
Beckman, Democrats, have arrived. Ogii-
we was Ill, and Beckman was elected on
Saturday in Nelson county to succeed
Wilson, deceased. This makes the assem-.
bly, again tie on joint ballot. 1t is
thought the Republicans will report and
act favorably on the contests of Dunlap
aud Werner, unseating two Democrat
and thus elect Congressman Hunter Il

Golden Medical Discovery is especially
valuable.
If you re thinner than you ought to be,
whether from wasting diseases, defective
nutrition, or whatever cause, the Dis
covery" will surely bring you up to the
healthy standard. By restoring the normal
action of the deranged organs and functions,
it arouses every natural source and means ol
nourishment. As a strength-restorer and
flesh builder, nothing like this medicine is
known to medical science. Filthy Cod liver
oil and all its disgusted compounds can't
compare with it.
