tIOSlON.
Pennsgrove, n. j., June 15.-The Du-
Pcnt powder works, at Carney's Point,
were again in danger of destruction on
Monday night, and the soldiers of the
Second Pennsylvania Regiment were
keyed up to a high pitch. One Of the
buildings at the works caught fire in a
singular manner.
The soldiers, who nightly guard the
works have been repeatedly warned not
TO carry lanterns near any of the build
ings, but Monday night one Of the
guards, carrying a lantern, was called
by a workman in building No. "a. in
which powder is pressed by powerful
machines AS the guard reached the
open doorway the alcohol vapors from
the wet powder within the building be-
came ignited. The building Is widely
separated from all the others of the
plain, but n a short time force OF
workmen was on hand to fight the
flames, which had enveloped No. "a.
They quickly got lines of hose con-
nected. but they were unable to battle
against the odds of 1000 pounds OF
burning powder. Fortunately, none OF
this had been placed in the presses, or
there would have been terrific explo-
sion, with dire results.
It cannot be learned yet to what ex-
| tent the two presses were damaged.
1 They are both almost new and Of the
most improved pattern, and IL badly
damaged the loss will amount to thou
sands. Charles Higgins wheel and his
coat, in which were a watch and $40 in
a pOcketbook. went up In the flame
The loss on the building alone Is esti-
mated at about 81 200, not including
any machinery. AS the company is very

rounded by border of ferns, which
covered the center of the round table,
at which twenty covers were placed.
The wax lights were shaded in pink
and silver and burned in low, branch

The name cards were exquisite souve-
niers done in water colors. The great
round table, with lis superb appoint
ments of royal Vienna ware and old
Venetian glass, was horally beautiful
with centerpiece of bridesmaid roses
and white lilacs, which were bedded in
q mound of rare ferns.
During the dinner the Hungarian band,
brought from New York for the even
ing, was stationed in an alcove of the
library and played the national hymn
Of Belgium, following with America"
and the national airs of Great Britain,
Germany, and France, in compliment

cent gown of white satin, trimmed in
point de Venice, and wore superb
pearls and diamonds. The Prince, as

State, Mrs. Grgg', VIE of the a.
torney General, Mrs. Harriet Lane
Johnston, the niece of President Buch-
anan, and others.
The reception following the dinner
lasted from 10 to II o'clock, and was by
far the most brilliant event of many
years. Capt. Charles McCawley, ofthe
Marine Corps, presented the guests. The
spacious drawing.rooms were elaborate.
ly decorated in pink roses, the large
double doorway leading to the adjoin-
ing dining-room being curtained in deli
cate ropes ofsmilsx and crowned with a
very handsome shield of the Belgian
coat of arms, made for his occasion,
and mounted above the Belgian flag and
our OVID stars and stripes. The Hun
garian band played throughout the
evening and supper was sarged on the
first floor, where the decorations were
entirely in the Belgian coIors.
To day at 10 o'clock the prince left
Washington for New York city. From
that point he will begin his four months
