Terrible Dynamite Explosion.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa,
Feb. 21.-A terrible explosion of
dynamite in the suburbs Of Jo-
hannesburg, in the Transvaal, has
killed over a hundred people,
manned three times that many,
and rendered a thousand people
homeless. The dynamite was
standing on the railroad track.
There were eight cars of it, and
when it exploded it scattered de-
struction widespread. The iron
axles of the cars were driven twen-
ty feet into the ground. The acct
dent is supposed to have been
caused by some thieving Kaffir at
tempting to break open can, not
knowing what it contained.

The city has collected more than
$3.50, 600 in taxes since June l, 1895,
a period of less than eight months,
beside receiving 100000 from the
sale Of refunding bonds for the
cancellation of "existing judg-
ments and approved claims" This
foots up a total of more than $780,
600 received in less than eight
months. No extended improve
ments have been made, no unusual
demands have been made upon the
treasury, yet the tax payers are
today confronted with a deficit
running up into the tens OF thou
sands of dollars. The school teach
ers, police, firemen and other en-
ployes and creditors have not been
paid for three or four months, and
there is no money in the treasury
to pay them. The money collected
has been paid out. What was it
paid out for, and to whom? A de-
tailed statement from the auditor,
covering these questions would be
most interesting document to the
tax payer.

fortune that he did not long ago
give rein to his better judgment
and align himself with the repub-
lican organization. But there Is
ample time ahead for him to make
amends for his past political errors.

Monday morning large cake of ice
came down the main channel OF the
canal at a terrific speed and collided
with the 100 canal boats tied UP along
the towpath, breaking them from their
moorings and sending them flying with
the torrent. One of the boats was sunk,
while the others were all damaged and
many of them completely wrec-.ed.
They could net be stopped until they
came to bend in the canal, and then
they were stood on end by the force Of
he jam.
Telegraph poles were washed out be-
tween here and Lockport. and houses
and barns are floating about with the
tide. Farmers were forced to remove
their live stock to higher ground. Rats
Of logs are being torn from their fasten-
lngs, and smashing everything with
which they come in contact. The pea
