TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Fifty Thousand Pounds of Powder
and 800 Pounds of Dynamite.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 19.-This afternoon
the Dixie planning mill was destroyed
by fire. Sparks from the fire caused a
tremendous explosion at the city mag
azine near by, and several persons were
seriously hurt.
At the time of the explosion there
was $4,000 pounds of powder and 800
pounds of dynamite stored in the mag
azine. The air in the vicinity was
filled with flying bricks and a number
of cottages were blown to pieces by
the terrific explosion, which was dis
tinctly heard at Spring Hill, seven
miles west of the city and at least ten
or u miles from the explosion
The inaccessibility of the place makes
it impossible to verify all the reports
as to the casualties to human life.

New York, Jan. 19.-The British
steamer British Queen from Antwerp
and the Atlas line steamer Alvena, out
ward bound for the West Indies, came
into collision this afternoon and the
latter was injured so that she sunk
Tonight nothing is visible of the Al

and some superstructure forward She
lies on the bar about two miles due
east of the Sandy Hook light The &C
ton of the water in the ships hold has
broken loose the cargo. and many large
parcels have been carried out to sea-
II is believed the whole cargo, which is

will be total loss. If the wind should
change to the east, the Alvena will
undoubtedly be pounded to pieces, as
she lies fully exposed.

VIEWERS PAPER Promises.

Our "'greenEackers" should rcjo:ce
over the fact that another paper money
experiment is being tried. IF green
bacI.s put down the rebellion in the
United States. why shouldn't they prove
effective weapons against Cuban
rcbels?!" reasons Gen. Weyler, who is
flooding the coast towns of Cuba with
a-tist:ca.ly engraved promises to pay
en- CGe side of a piece OF paper and Il
picture of a w~ell-developed tobacco
Giant On the other side.
The experiment is bound to Ire suc-
ccsstul, for the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. Any shop
kaeDar who refuses to accept these
promises for their flce value IS subject

but each n is trying to see how high
he can put prices. and the end is not in
sight
Come TO think of it, high prices, con
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper
money. Perhaps Weyier, by correcting
this little defect, may yet demonstrate
that greenbackers are right and. that
cheap money, by proper Legislation. can
be made just as good as money made
from costly metals. What a boon plenty
of money would be TO mankind! Ste
cess to Weyier's experiment and deata

success by raising prices or BIZ ref-s-

ises.

Continuance of Prevent Conditions q
Distinct Hardship to Agriculture.
We have lately given some accounts OF
the operation of agricultural banks in
Europe, which have done very much for
the farming class by making it possible
for il to secure loans on such security
as farmers can offer. The farmer is
especially in need of credit, for b in
terval must always be considerable be-
tween the preparation Of the soil and
the harvesting of the crop. He must
spend none a long time before he
can get any back. As to most of his
products he may be said TO be carry
ing on a business where the stock Is
turned over but once a year. Further
more, as a crop natures all over the
country at the same season, and geEer-
ally within a period of a few weeks. II IS
particularly important to the farmer
that he should not be compelled to re-
alize on his harvests Immediately. lie
would break the market If he were
obliged to sell all his crops as soon as
gathered, and yet he must sell q good
deal, for he has been under expense for
months without any income.
While the farmer more than almost
any other producer needs credit, he
cannot GENERALLY offer commercial Sc
curity, and real estate is not a good
| security for ordinary banks of discount
to take, and it is unlawful for our ma
| tional banks to accept it The resuft
is that the farmer is usually compelled
to sell his produce at an unpropitious
time or to get credit Of merchants and
private bankers for which usurious
rates are obtained. In this country
there has been practically no effort to
supply this need for agricultural cred
its, although the brokers n private
bankers and factors who have made
a practice of lending to farmers have
made q great deal of money out OF 1t
for the absence of competition enables
them to get a high rate for money, ant
the farmer pretty generally pays hi
debts.
1t is singular that in our own coun
try no effort has been made to atfor;

needs for the improving of land ant
for carrying on farm operations during
the long intervals between the anDua
marketing of crops. The changed con
ditions of the times make it imperative

1t has been stated that a bank bur-
glar can so heat the walls of a safe
with an electric current as to be able
to get inside without waiting more
than a few minutes. Certain labOra-
tory experiments lend some sanction
to such a notion, but electrical journ-
ais pooh-pooh it. 1t is much easier
to talk about stealing electricity from
live trolley and a lighting wires
than it is to do it-that is, with safety.
The Electrical Engineer, ate pointing
out some other difficulties in the way
of such operations. remarks that
''men can take and have taken the

than is required, for melting through

the parties maintained perfect silence
