SIX DEAD.
Terrible Nitro-Glycerine Explosion at Cyg-
net, O.-The Country for Miles Around
Trembled From the Shock.

Terrible N1tro-Glycer1ne Explosion at Cyg-
net, O.-The Country for Miles Around
Trembled From the Shock.
CYGNET, o., Sept. S.-A terrible ex-
plosion of nitro-glycerine occurred
here Tuesday afternoon at o'clock
which resulted in the death of six peo-
pie whose names are known and others
at present unknown.
The killed: Sam Barber, Allen Falls,
John Thompson, Charles Bartel, Henry
Lansdale, - Ravens, boy.
The explosion occurred at the Grant
well, located at the rear of the National
Supply Co.'S office building, in the vii
lage limits. The well had just been
shot by Samuel Barber, the shooter for
the Ohio and Indiana Torpedo Co. The
well was a gaSser and when the 100
quarts of glycerine in the well ex.
ploded, the gas ignited and with a ter
rife roar the flames shot high above the
derrick. As soon as the drillers saw
the flames several climbed into the der.
rick to shut off the gas, but they had
hardly gotten there when there was a
terrific explosion. The burning gas
had started the remaining glycerine in
the empty cans standing in a wagon near
the derrick. In another wagon nearby
were some cans containing another
100 quarts of the stuff and this was
started by the force of the first explo-
sion.
The second was blended with the first
in mighty roar and the town and sur
rounding country for miles trembled
from the shock.
The National Supply Co.'S building
was completely demolished and moth.
ing remains but a big hole where the
| wagons stood. There is not a whole
pane of glass in any window in town
and every house and store was shaken
to its foundations. There was awful
excitement over the affair, and all the
remaining population of the town
rushed to the spot. Who the men are
who were in the derrick and who were
killed can not now be learned owing to
| the excitement.
The damage to the Ohio Oil Co. will
amount to $1,000. Eight buildings are
total wreck and others are damaged.
The town has a population of about
1000. Many bystanders were wounded.

1.-THE nomadic gypsy bands are not
so large as in less settled times, when
the Romany was forced to travel in
large numbers for self-protection.
From II to 20 persons make up the
average caravan today; although in
scme cases the bands number so or 60.
A very large band is the famous one
of which old Chivodine Lovel is the
chief. Every year Lovel's band comes
north and camps between Newark and
Elizabeth, N. j., in the woods by the
boulevard. These Lovels are over co
in number. At one time they were sus-
pected of having abducted Charley
Ross; but the fair-haired boy found in
their camp and supposed to be little
Ross was proven a nephew Of old
Chivodine, and is now heir-apparent to
the chieftaincy. Chief SANKEY'S big
family yearly encamps on Crow hill,

the royal Stanley family of Ohio en-
camp near Dayton, Cincinnati and
Cleveland.
1.-THE pattrin is the code of signs
by which gypsies tell each other the
road to be followed. Nowadays, how
ever, the gypsies are getting so un-
romantic that they do a great deal of
telegraphing. Oddly enough, the great
gypsy exchanges in the various cities
are livery stables and pawnbrokers'
shops.
Their cooking and eating habits are
often odd enough. For pork they have
great fondness, and in old times they
were accustomed when passing farm
house to 'drab the baulo' (poison the
pig) and beg the carcass from the
farmer. The poison known as 'drab

Insuring workingmcn.

The German government provides a
system of compulsory insurance for
working men. Under this system a
workman 90 years of age pays an
equivalent Of 40 cents week for three
years, and at the age Of 65 he re-
ceives the sum of $77, in the meantime
having had an insurance against ac-
cidents. The annual premium Is di-
vided into three parts, one of which
is paid by the workman, another by
his employer and the third by the
state. The report for 1896 shows thai
1899 900 persons were insured under
the law, of whom 100000 were en-

Noosing IA Sea-Lion.

lion and a farmer: Near Tillamook,
Ore, an old German farmer CHANGED to
be driving along the beach, when his
watchful gaze was greeted by the sight
of large sea lion some distance out
on the sand, fast asleep. 1t was the
work of a moment for Jacob to make
lasso of stout rope he had in his
wagon. fasten the end of it to the hind
axle. and adjust the moose over the sea
lions head. Then Jacob jumped into
the wagon and started homeward with
his prize. The sea lion did the same,
and as his team was the stronger of the
two, Jacob started seaward at good
pace, and only saved himself and his
"outft" by springing quickly to the
ground, grasping his jack knife and
cutting the rope.

NOR. YELLOW FEVER.
Mobile I'm u State of Panic-Trouble ut
jackson, Miss.


The yellow fever has begun to spread
quite rapidly at Mobile, Ala, IL new
cases being announced in one day. A
quarantine line has been drawn from
Chicasabogue creek, north of Mobile,
some five miles northwesterly to the
Mississippi line SO as to present an alb
solute embargo against Mobilians pene-
trating by land into the interior of
Alabama. This trocha is guarded con-
tinuously and when some 1000 people
started out into country intending to
take refuge with the farmers, they
encountered the guards at the trocha
and were stopped there and remained
in the open air fearing to return to the
city. The people of Mobile are in a
great panic and all are leaving who
can, although experienced physicians
and the older citizens try to quiet the
alarm by showing that the fever is not
progressing with anything like old
time rapidity.
Governor Barred the State Capital
When the rigid quarantine was es-
tablished at Jackson, which is the
capital of Mississippi, Gov. McLaurin
was at his home at Brandon. Now he
wishes to enter the capital, but the
board of health is no respccter of per-
sons and refused to admit him. The
scare at Jackson is growing and the
people are determined not to allow
the disease to get a foothold there.
They have torn up the tracks of the
Alabama & Vicksburg railroad, short
distance west of the city, and also
burned the trestle on the same road
because the company refused to run
trains through the city at the rate of
20 miles an hour. Indignation is at
fever heat and the people say that, if
necessary to compel observance OF
their quarantine regulations, they will
burn every bridge between there and
VicIsburg. Gov. McLaurin has or
dered out the Capital Light Guards, ir
order to protect the property of the
railroads
