Explosion. loud and prolonged, and
then crash of wood and glass, were
the sounds which broke the usual
silence Of the residential portion of
Price street, between North Main and
North Hyde Park avenues yesterday
afternoon. Every person within hear

of their residences To find out what had
happened.
This was what had occurred: In the

very close to the surface here and is
rather hard for pick cutting. The

miner to do some blasting. \ hole was
drilled. a small piece of dynamite in

did Il second hole prepared in a SINH

when the third attempt was made.
A sort of a covering had been put
over the spot to he blasted, but it was
not sufficient to withstand the shock of
nearly two whole sticks of dynamite,
and most of it went into the air in
company with at least half a wagon

debris did. Most of it fell back upon
the shingle roof, with a sound like an
avalanche. Some fell into the eXcava-

and one or two pieces, flying off at a
tangent, went through some windows.
The lower part of the dwelling is not
occupied. but Il family by the name of
Jones dwell in the upper story and un-
fortunately an aged lady, a member Of
the family, is i'll. Those at home had
been warned, but did not expect the

STRAY THOUGHTS,

Luther denounced Newton and
said if the theory of gravitati0n
was accepted it would take the uni
verse out of the hands of God and
put it IN the keeping of law.
The great attitude Of the church
has been to divorce religion from
morality and to make the profess
sion Of a belief of infinitely greater
consequence than to live true and
noble life.
Of all injustice that is the great
est that goes under the name OF
law, and of all sorts of tyranny the
forcing of the letter of the law
against the equity is the most in
supportabIe,
The man who believes that Moses
was a better geologist than Lyell,
that Joshua knew more about
astronomy than Herchel, or that
the Songs of Solomon are sweeter
than Goldsmiths Deserving Viii
Iage," certainly possesses usques-
toned faith, ,unvitali2ed by thought.

1t is stated that a man won and
lost $5, 900, 900 on horse races, For
twenty years he kept at it, and
most of the time he was successful.
At last fortune turned against him
and today he is penniless. Gambling
is a good deal like neglect of health.
1t can be kept up a long time but in
the end it is disastrous, Fortunes
are harder to restore than health.

MANN BEAGLE.

The celebration of the marriage
of Mr. Henry Asa Mann and Miss
Zana Beagle, both of this city, at
the State Line Methodist church,
last evening, was a most brilliant
event. The beauty and prominence
of the fair bride, her popularity
with our people, together with the
popularity of the young barrister
groom, conspired to surround the
event with more interest than is
generally accorded church we'd
dlngs.
The bride is the daughter of the
late pastor of the State Line Meth
odist church, aud as q matter of
course, the contracting parties
selected the doctor to perform the
marriage ceremony, and the doctor
did so IN a feeling and touching
manner.
The details of the wedding cere-
mony had been placed in competent
hands, and they were faithfully car
ried out.
The altar, and altar railings, were
banked with roses and potted plants
and four arches had been erected
over the two aisles and covered
with flowers of the season, with a
back ground of vines and holly.
The ushers, Messrs. Ben Smith,
Randall Moore, Lee Estes and Mr..
Charles Swindall, the latter gentle
man from Oklahoma Territory, a
class mate of Mr.. Mann, were kept
busy finding seats for the friends OF
the bride and groom, and soon they
had every seat occupied in the
church, and many standing in ant
near the door.
At Z. o'clock sharp, the hour sci
apart for the ceremony, the car
riages containing the wedding
party drew up to the door of the
church and they weresoon marching
down the aisle to the wedding
march selected and played by Mrs
| H. G, Hynson.
When the altar was reached Rev
j. A, Beagle, in an impressive man
ner, delivered the ceremony.
The bridal party wheeled about
and marched back down the aislt
and re-entering the carriage, were
carried to the depot where they
were to take a train for the East
Many OF their young friends fol
lowed them to the depot and chat
ted them until the conductors CAL
Aboard" warned them that time
was up and the train was ready t.
go.
At this point the young gentle
men friends of the party, had gen.
erously supplied themselves witt
rice and slippers and they were
given a shower of both, as they
made for the door of the sleeper,
The train soon whirled away car

Many handsome presents wei 4

We learn they will return in ter
days and be at home to their friends

friends of both bride and groom in
wishing them happiness and plenty,
in their future walks in life.

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.
West Side Public School Entertain at
the Assembly Hall.

The west side public school held
the boards at the Assembly Hall
last night, the exercises being wit
messed by good sized crowd.
Since his last visit TO the hall,
the reporter noticed that the stage
had been worked on and presented
a very good appearance, and-is
now well adapted for school exhibit
tions.
The stage has been reduced in
size, the ends made into waiting
rooms, which was needed on occa-
sions Of the above kind.
The drop curtain contains land
scape scene besides many cards of
our merchants who believe in ad-
vertising. The curtain was painted
by Mr.. Frank Church, and the job
is good one.
Superintendent Owens opened
the ceremonies OF the exhibition by
thanking the liberal merchants fol
taking cards on the curtain, thus
making it possible for the school tC
have the same, and he asked Al
who was present to trade with mer
chants whose card adorned thu
curtain.
The exhibition consisted of songs
recitations, pantomime, caIesthen
les and drills, and the children
showed aptitude in all the roles
they were assigned.
Mr.. Burdsall, the photographer
had an artist on hand to make
flash light pictures of differen
groupes as presented on the stag
and the artist made several uega
tives.
Mayor Hardin who is president o
the schsol board, was on hand an
helped Prof. Staley, who was a
the door to see that every one wa
comfortably seated.
The reporter had seat by th
mayor part of the evening and wa
glad to hear him say that he ex
pected to make additional improve
ments on the Assembly Hall by en-
larging it and having the foo
raised in the rear and a lot of neJ
seats placed in the same, that tn
Assembly Hall of 1899 will be differ
ent from that of 1898, and we men
tally hoped that the mayors tall
was something more than 'castl
building"
The Assembly Hall could be mad
to accommodate at least 1000 peopl
and seat them so that all could Sc,
the stage, for half thousand dol
lars, and the school board and cit
council should vote the appropria
tion and have the work done.
The entertainment was well re
ceived and we again say the littl
ones acquitted themselves hand
somely.
