with kerosene and applied match He

Chesterfield, Ind. Novem Der 26.--An
explosion of nitro glyoerine occurred a
half mile from this city last night. Sixty
quarts of nitro giycerine had been hauled
to field for the purpose of shooting u
we'll today. The explo sive was placed in
a large tube located at the end of steam
exhaust pipe for the purpose of thawing
out the mixture. 1t is the theory that the
tube became overheated causing the ex-
plosion. A hole ten feet long and several
feet in depth was torn in the earth. The
engine was blown to pieces. Drillers
Haney and Mcclure were standing with
in thirty feet of the scene of the accident
and were hurled twenty feet by the force

BROKE THE DANCE UP.
colored People Ordered Off the Floor At
Bangor Hop.

Bangor, November 26.-In City hall on
Thanksgiving night there was dance
a public affair, which was preceded by a
minstrel performance by the Tennessee
Troubadour club of Boston, % voices.
Very naturally, Bangor's large oolored
contingent was strongly represented.
Two kinds of tickets were on sale. Fiji
ty-cent checks admitted to the gallery
and to the floor, and half-price tickets
admitted to the gallery only. The privi-
lege of dancing cost 25 cents.
Most of the colored people who attend
ed the affair bought dance tickets. At
the hour for the beginning the concert
between so and 100 of them were in the
gallery seats. The whites in the hall
raised the audience to very respectable
size. The concert was concluded after
10 O'Clock. Dancing was at once an
nounced. The orchestra of the State
University was ready to furnish music.
By the time the first dance was on so
whites and as many persons of color were
enjoying it. The first and second dances
passed off quietly, The third was a
square dance. Before it began the young
man who was calling off from the
stage said: "Colored persons will not
dance this time,' or something like
that.
Nobody paid any attention to that and
the quadrille proceeded. When the dance
was about half through it was stopped
suddenly. The caller-off spoke again.
1.-The management of the Dance said
he, requests all colored persons to retire
from the hall and procure their money at
the box Office
A murmur of disapproval ran over tie
hall, SO indistinct that nobody could
say that it came either from theswhites
or the blacks. The dancers stood irreso
lutte. The orchestra was silent. Every.
body was embarrassed. There was a
good opportunity for trouble, but no
trouble was suggested.
At length some of the colored folks got
together and talked it over. Then they
moved out of the hall, followed by all Eof
their friends. After some delay they
got their money back at the box office
and went home peaceably. Though indig-
nant they committed no disorder. The
dance proceeded. 60 60,

WASHINGTON HAS MT HEARD.

Washington, November 26.-No word of
the reported refusal by the Canadian gov
eminent of the proposition of the United
States for modus vivendi to stop the
killing of seals while commission is en-
gagged in arranging other issues between
the United States and Canada have come
to the State Department or to the British
embassy here. There is no disposition in
officials quarters to discredit the state
ment coming from Ottawa to that effect
and it is feared that the end of the nego-
tiations is yet long way removed. The
Canadian alternative proposal referred to
in the dispatches is believed to be nothing
more than renewal of the original pro-
posal to appoint joint commission and
allow the question of total suspension of
sealing to go before it with other matters
This has proved unacceptable to our gov
eminent heretofore.
