DANGEROUS FENCE.
Posts That Surround n New Jersey
Farm I-mpregnated with Dynamite.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The explosion
which took place at Scotch Plains. N. j.,
Tuesday afternoon. in which John Bier
stetter was instantly killed and Conrad
PITT was severely wounded, was a most Pc
culiar accident. The two men were engaged
in setting some fence posts upon land
owned by John Cook, and about 4 o'clock
a terrific explosion was heard. People who
rushed TO the scene found that one of the
fence posts was shattered and i'm splinters,
while the men were lying many feet away.
The wall of a barn near by was blown in
and the building set on fire. Cook is en-
gagged in the stone crushing business. and
sometimes has dynamite stored in his barn.
1t was at first thought that in some way
this had caused the explosion, but later de-
~Velopments showed that the source of the
accident was something altogether differ
ent. The fact that the wall of the barn was
blown inward instead of outward showed
that the explosion must have come from
outside, and the shattered post was care
fully examined. George Kyle, who has an
office in the Central building, at the foot
of Liberty street. and who lived near Plain
field, stripped a piece of the wood from
the post. and placing ii on a fiat stone.
struck it sharply with a hammer; The re-
1t developed later that Cook had purchased
the timber from the owners of an old dy-
Mantle factory at Crawford. which had
been torn down. II is suppose that the
wood became i~mpregnated with the explo-
SiVe. and that, when the men started to
drive the post into the ground with heavy
mallets. the dynamite in the post exploded.
The people VINO live near Cook are in q
state of great excitement. for they think
that his fence may explode at any time
and blow them all into the air. Cook has a
large amount of the timber. which is gen.
erously placed about his farm. n chemical
investigation of the wood is 10 be made.

HEALTH RESORT BURNED.
Cambridge Springs, Pa. Mostly De-
strOyed, Causing a Loss of %S2OO,OOO.

MEANWHILE. Pa. April 1-Cambridge
Springs, a health resort about fifteen miles
from here. was almost destroyed by fire
to-day, involving a loss of one life and
property loss of $500. 1000. At about 1880
O'Clock this morning fire was discovered in
the notion store Of Mrs. Wellman on Main
street. and as there is no fire department
at the springs, the fire spread with rapidity,
soon having the business portion of the
place at its mercy. Assistance was re-
quested from this city. Cory and Union
City. Engines and reels were dispatched
at once. but before substantial relief could
be given thirty business houses and a dozen
residences had succumbed to the flames.
The total property loss is 5000. 600, with very
little insurance. Charles Hayes, a mer-
chant. entered his place of business while
IL was i'm flames to save some valuables
end was crushed by falling walls. His
body has not as yet been recovered.
The village presents a scene of desolation
tonight. From the Erie Railroad tracks
to Spring street is a mass of smoldering
ruins. AT 4 o'clock the flames were under
control. having spent their fury. Many
persons were injured. TIL amount of in
surance on the different properties could

WILL RAISE A HOWL.
Order Issued by Lord Hamilton That
VIII Arouse Social Purists.

LONDON. April 1.-The secretary of
state for India. Lord George Hamilton. in
a dispatch to the Indian government. de-
ciares there must be no registration. IL
censing or compulsory examination of
women, as a result Of the prevalence of
sickness among the troops in India. a state
of affairs which has aroused considerable
agitation in the public press, but he ex-
plains the rules already enforced against
cholera, smallpox. etc. may be extended
to all contagious diseases and women OBJ
jecting to examinations under these rules
are to be expelled from the cantonments
or quarters occupied oy troops. Lord Ham
ilton further invites the opinion of the In
dian government on the sanitary commit
tees proposals looking to medical inspec-
ton OF men who have previously suffered
from diseases and as to the punishment
of men concealing the existence of disease.
1T may be argued" Lord Hamilton con-
tinues. that an examination under the
foregoing rules is in effect compulsory.
but the government does not share that
view. If there is any compulsion it is pre-
cisely the same kind which has been ac-
cepted as necessary and not objected TO in
cases of typhoid and diphtheria."
Although Lord Hamilton has tried to
meet the objections. it is practically certain
that this partial return to the old system
will be hotly denounced by the social pur-
lists. especially as the committees proposal
to treat the men in the same way as the
women has not been carried into effect.

Jim River Very High.

HURON. S. D., April There has been
twenty-four hours of continued rain here
and over this part of the State, and the
Jim river exceeds the high-water mark of
1881, the highest known. and is still rising.
Much wreckage in the stream is an indi-
cation of the loss of bridges and buildings.
Water is running into the windows of the
Chicago q Northwestern pumpf.ouse and
is within a few inches of the doors of many
buildings under the bluff. Conditions be-
come more serious as the rain descends
and the water rises.
MITCHELL. S. D.. April lover 1.200
feet of the Milwaukee road track, two miles
east of here. was washed out this morn
ing, leaving the bridges intact. but in dan
ger of being carried away. The Jim river
has risen fully three feet since yesterday
afternoon. and is fully a mile wide in places.
The Milwaukee road Is. shut off from
here on its east line. The Omaha road is
in as equally bad a fix, as two hundred
feet of approach TO the bridge on the west
side and one hundred feet on the east are
doomed and will go out with the flood to-
night. The river is expected to rise higher
when the big flood gets down from the
north. Fully two and a half inches of rain
fell yesterday and last night.
