Destruction.

CHICAGO, June S.-A match dropped
carelessly by one of the workmen in the
fireworks factory of M. Shure al West
van Buren and Halsted streets caused
terrific explosion a few minutes after
O'Clock last night. II was shortly
AFTER the closing time OF the factory,
ana many of the worknlen had gone
nome, otherwise the loss of life must
nave been heavy. As it was number of
the employees were badly hurt, and fly
ing rockets and candles struck several
people who We're passing in street cars
and on the sidewalks.
Mrs Maggie Kenney was struck by q
morse and died in the hospital
Fourteen persons We're seriously and
eleven slightly injured
The force of the explosion was so
great that nearly all the windows in the
block were demolished, and the Shure
building, which is d four-story sturc-
ture, was badly damaged.
Immediately following the explosion
the building was ablaze from cellar to
roof, and the Fire Department had a
desperate struggle before it succeeded
IN extlnguishing the flames. The build
ing was almost entirely destroyed by
hre, however, and such portions of the
large stock Of fireworks as had not
been scattered throughout the neigh
borhood by the explosion were Destroy
ed, causing heavy lass to Shure
The explosion caused a wild panic
IN that portion of the town for a. time.
and the widest stories were current
regarding the number of killed and
wounded. 1t happened at a time when
the street was crowded with people on
their way to their homes and the street
cars which pass in front of the build
ing every minute We're densely crowd
ed with passengers. The flying missiles
from the factory struck a number of
people on the cars, and one man who
was gazing into a store window fully
4OO feet distant, had his attention sud-
denly attracted to other matter by a
rocket which hit him squarely in the
back. He fell to the sidewalk uncon-
scious, and was carried to the hospital
before he was able to give his name.
The majority of those injured, however,
received but trif1ing hurts, and will be
around within a day or two. The loss
to the building and contents is esti-
mated at 100000.

WHEAT MARKET.
The Price Rapidly Goes Up at Chi
CaQO.

CHICAGO, June S.-The resumption
of business after yesterdays holiday
inaugurated a rise in wheat which grew
for half an hour with the rapidity of
Jacks famous bean stalk. July, which
was worth only 661sc last Saturday,
commenced it's career this morning
with buyers at 67A to 671ac, and in a
little more than half an hour it was
bringing 6S5Sc. The sudden change
from last weeks business to such pro-
nounced strength was primarily due to
the supposed i'll effect of the recent
cold weather. Not that any great pres
ent injury was claimed to have been
done, but because of a dangerous re-
tardation of an already backward state
of growth In addition, the visible sup
ply statement showed decline of p
AL, 900, which was 100000 bushels
greater reduction than any one had
considered likely.
The trading was heavy during the
first hour in which the large deal OF
shorts was covered, besides a consider
able quantity bought on long account.
Chicago receipts since Saturday, fif-
teen cars and 174000 bushels, were in
spected out of store. Minneapolis and
Duluth received $50 cars, against $50
a year ago. The worlds shipments of
wheat to Europe last week were $780,
600 bushels. Export clearances of
wheat and flour from Atlantic Coast
since Saturday We're $4,000 bushels.
The reduction of /, 435, 900 bushels in
the visible supply was a surprise, and
added greatly to the strength which
the market displayed.
After the first advance in July to
6S3sc it reacted to 6S1sc, but once more
rose to the highest point about an
hour from the close of the session. The
market gained strength toward the
close, and about fifteen minutes from
the end of the session July was bring
ing 69Ac This price was maintained
to the close.
Corn was very strong throughout, al
though not holding all of its advance.
Prices yielded a fraction when the
weather forecast was issued, showing
warmer weather likely. Oats We're
firm ON a rather draggy market. The
Orange judd farmer put a damper
on the market by predicting a large
crop and better quality than last year.

THE RICH.

From the New Orleans Daily States.
1t gives you strange shock when
some one. you have envied, if you
are capable of envy, comes to finan-
cial grief, or meets with a sudden
death. Not that in your heart you
have envied him to the extent of de-
string to change places with him, but
you have wished you could be blessed
with his luck, his good fortune, his
success, in short, his money; for, hay-
ing had no experience of what it is
to be rich you naturally think it is
everything. To some / dare say it is
to those who know how to use wealth
Alright. If you are wise you are con-
tent with, your little hardly earned
income; your rich neighbor has no
more functions than you possess; he
has only one pair of eyes, he can only
eat and drink a certain quantity, and
often the doctor is so careful of his
rich patients health that he puts him
on little better than prison diet.
Poor Barry Barnato! Success drove
him crazy. He was a Croesus with
the anxieties of a man who did not
know where his next days dinner
was coming from. In ali the family
and friendly relations of life, a good
fellow, without a particle of false
pride; but great riches are a great
trial and responsibility. How is it
that so many of these men with the
gift of money making peg out, one way
or the other so disastrously? Many
a friend limited to Colonel North that
the pace would kill him, and it did ;
man of most generous instinct, a
good friend and by no means bitter
enemy, he had most of the qualities
that go to make a useful and re-
spected man; but riches are a snare
John Mackay, the American million
aire, is a kind-hearted, good fellow,
and has made many man happy by
timely gifts; but a lunatic shot at
him not long ago and wounded him
badly, only for the reason that the
mailman knew him to be rich. Do
you think any of these masters of
millions can go comfortably away for
a month, as one of their clerks can,
and take a real open complete rest,
making for the time being a blank
in their business lives? Not they; the
electric telegraph follows them every
where; they must have their minds
on stocks and shares and real estate
and foreign politics all the time. Ev-
cry post brings them reports and let
ters of moment. They have, no rest.
If their pile does not grow they think
they are losing money. When you have
once got a great heap you are miser-
able if you are not heaping it up high
err and higher, and as for Mr.. Bennett,
wherever he is, there is TIE New York
Herald; he edits it more or less every
day thousands of miles from New York,
thinks Herald" dreams Herald" is
indeed the Herald" just as much as
if he were sitting in New York within
the sound of the beat of its splendid
machinery; on land, at sea, in Paris.
at Berlin, yachting, coaching, riding,
comes his Herald dispatches, and yet
he is rich beyond the dream of avarlce.
