Re-Conquest Of the SoudRn.
Dongola has fallen, and the nominal OBJ

been attained. The river forces Of the eX-
petition pushing up the Nile from FL
Hafir, landed force at Dongoia and &C.
cupied that place before the Dervish forces
retreating from Ell Hafir reached 1t.
The Dervishes occupied the fort at FL
Hair. On Saturday an artillery duel oc-
CURED between the forces in the fort and
the invading forces on the opposite bank of
the Nile. The Maxim guns, with their
sweeping hail of fire, did great execution
in the Dervish ranks, while the field and
horse batteries never allowed the enemy to
do anything with their batteries.
In the morning it was found that Ell
Hair had been evacuated by the enemy
under cover of the night.
The gun boats of the expedition pro-
ceeded south to Dongola and landed a
force, which Immediately occupied the
treasury and the grain store, the principal
stronghold of the town.
The engagement at Ell Hatir seems to
have altogether dismayed the Dervishes,
who placed great reliance upon the fort.
The losses to the expeditionary forces were
slight.
Notwithstanding the observation of the
government the Dongola was the objective
point of the Angola Egyptian expedition,
the London newspapers concur in the
opinion that, now Dongola has been taken,
the expedition will proceed to the recon
quest of the entire Soudan.

Chas. Wales, who is under bonds to APP
pear at the present term of Washington
county court to stand trial for attempting
to blow up Goddard seminary at Barre last
spring, is missing and his hiding place is
unknown even to his parents. Wales was
arrested on suspicion of causing a fire
which was discovered on the top floor of
the building. Afterwards in the room
where the fire started was found a quantity
of dynamite sufficient to wreck every
building on Seminary hill. Wales was
identified as one who purchased dynamite
a short time before for the alleged purpose
of splitting wood. The only motive sug
gested was that Wales was angry with the
faculty for informing him that he was not
up to the necessary standard for gradua-
ton. There were over 500 people about
the seminary at the time of the fire.

which cannot be seen by the spectator,
and would no doubt puzzle a good many
expert mechanics. The first thing that
attracts the eye is train, consisting of a
locomotive, tender and two cars coming
through the Hoosac tunnel on the Fitch
burg railroad, the Zoar station, with its
lady operator, the miniature lake with its
steamer, schooner and row-boats, the BIZ

Cause a Disastrous Fire at New Bed
ford and Explosions at HaLardviIle
and Clinton.
Violent thunder storms swept over
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
and New York, Saturday, causing the loss
of many lives and destroying thousands of
dollars worth of property.
During cyclonic storm at New Bedford,
Mass, lightning struck the big cotton
shed of the Bennett mills, igniting the in
fiammable contents, and endangering 5000
bales of cotton. The tiTemen worked for
three hours, but 2500 bales valued at $780,
600, were damaged. About 20 persons
who were watching the fire ran for shelter
into building which soon collapsed. One
Frenchman who was pinned to the ground
by the timbers was fatally injured, but the
others escaped. In Fall River Fair Ha-
ven, Providence and other places the storm
was severe and did great damage, being
accompanied by hail in several places. At
Fall River Mary Burns became so fright
ened that she was stricken with apoplexy
and died.
Five powder mills, owned and operated
by the Hazard Powder company at Haz-
ardville, Conn.,, were blown TO pieces Sat
urday. A large quantity of powder in one
of the mills was exploded by bolt of
lightning. The window panes in almost
every building in Hazardville were shat
tered, and the ground shook as if by an
earthquake. No lives were lost and no
one was injured as the employees were not
in the building at the time. The loss is
estimated at about $25, 900.
Three men were killed and three others
fatally injured by an explosion of dyna-
mite at the bottom of 120-foot shaft of the
Metropolitan water works near Clinton,
Mass, Saturday. The blasts were fired be-
tween the day and night shifts and the men
were probably puttingsticks of dynamite in
to the holes which the Y had drilled when the
explosion took place. 1t is believed that
it was caused by lightning, as a thunder
| shower was raging at the time. The dy-
Mantle was set off by wires from the top
| of the shaft and it is possible that one of
these may have become charged with cleo
tricity. When the explosion was heard a
relief party was sent down the shaft, where
Andrew Kelley, the day foreman, and Will
liam Greene and Rody Carroll, the latter
two colored were found dead, actually
blown to pieces. James Perry, colored,
was so badly injured that he died two
hours later and Thomas Foley, colored, is
at the Clinton hospital, fatally injured.
| AT bridgeport, conn.,, the TRINITY
church and several other buildings were
damaged by the storm. Two inches of
rain fell in three hours in Waterbury,
Conn.,, causing much damage. At Coney
Island, n. Y, IL persons were out in
boats just before the storm came. None
of them had returned at midnight and it
is probable that they were drowned. One
boat drifted ashore. 1t is believed that six
persons met with similar fate off Rock
away Beach. The property loss at Coney
Island and Bath Beach will reach $780,
600. Sedl's concert hall, the far-famed
Coney Island "Bowery" and multitude
of dwellings in each state were leveled to
the ground.
