NITRo-GLYCEoRINE EXPLOSION
Persons One Mile Away Lifted From
Their Feet.


Chesterfield, Ind, Nov. 26.-An explo-
sion Of nitro-glycerine occurred a half
mile west of this city at 9:1O o'clock last
night. Sixty quarts of nitro-glycerine
were hauled there for the purpose of
shooting gas well to-day. The explo-
sive was placed in large zinc tub, locat-
ed at the end of the steam exhaust pipe,
for the purpose of thawing out the mix
ture. 1t is the theory that the tub be-
came overheated, causing an explosion
with disastrous results. A hole ten feet
long and several feet deep was torn in
the earth. The engine was blow to
pieces.
Drillers Haney and Mcclure had a re-
markable escape. They were standing
within thirty feet OF the scene of the
accident, and were hurled twenty feet
by the force of the explosion, but with
the exception Of few bruises they
unhurt.
Persons one mile away were lifted
from their feet from the concussion and
the jar was felt for ten miles. Fire fol-
lowed the explosion, but the flames were
quickly extinguished.

CONFEDERATE HISTORY.
General Marmaduke Tells Some Plain
Truths About the Great Struggle.

Truths About the Great Struggle.
st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 26.-General Vim
cent Marmaduke, of Sweet Springs, Mo-,
who was recently appointed by the ex-
Confederate Veterans of Missouri as
chairman of committee to write an
authentic history of the part Missouri
and Missourians took in the civil war,
to-day issued a remarkable address. 1t
was addressed to the exConfederates
of Missouri and said part:
The honor and glory of this great
struggle was with the South, and South
ern soldiers ought in justice to them
selves and their dead comrades pre-
serve the memory of it. While the North
and Northern soldiers are inyeighing
against all manifestation of sectional
feeling, they are erecting monuments
to their successful leaders and telling
the story very much to their credit and
to our detriment. The North had more
than four soldiers to one in the South.
It's armies were reinforced and aided
by six hundred ships of war, manned by
$4,000 sailors. 1t had unlimited credit,
which meant an unlimited supply of
money. 1t had factories to manufacture
everything needed to arm and equip-to
supply and maintain it's armies and fleets.
1t had railroads running in every direc-
tion for the transportation of its troops.
1t had intercourse with the whole world
and could draw recruits for its army and
navy from the whole world. The South
had none of these advantages, or had
them only to limited extent. But, not
withstanding all its advantages it took
the North four years to crush the South
and then it did it by grinding process,
and without having gained single de-
cisive victory"
