The London, Ont. Disaster.

LONDON, Ont., Jan. 4.-The Union
Jack to-day floats at half mast over the
City Hall, but it is not needed to remind
the citizens of the horror of last night.
The CITY Hall presents the appearance
OF wreck, and the streets in front of
it are crowded with the curious and
sorrowing citizens. The list of dead
numbers twenty five but it is much to
be feared that it is not yet complete.
Many of the injured are not expected
to recover, and others will be confined
to their beds days, weeks and some
for months. The cause of the accident
was the breaking of heavy beam
which ran beneath the floor almost at
the centre of the space which gave way,
rolling sllthe people standing in this
space into one mass.

South by the federal government dur
ing the war between the States, that IL
telligent foreigners have not, is proved
by the speech delivered in the Spanish
Chamber OF Deputies, yesterday, by

10 which he said, alluding to those
Americans who denounce the efforts OF
the Spanirh army to suppress the Gu
ban insurgents:
.'They who in the war of secession
committed horrors unequaled by any
civilized nation in the universe; they
who, year after year, in the most unjust
md most cruel war, where the abolition
of slavery, instead of being an act OF
humanity. was simply the stratagem OF
war, exercised the most atrocious tyr
amy and at the same time perhdy
against the Southern States-they pro.
fsss to be the true fathers Of the moral
greatness and ma erial progress of the
American nation"

A LOG EXPLosIoN.-While the
family of Edward Roseborough were
seated arouod the fireplace in their
home in Charlotte, n. c., yesterday, q
stick OF wood was thrown On to re-
plenish the fire. Almost instantly there
was terrific explosion and broadside
Of bullets raned from the fireplace.
When the smoke cleared away aud the
extent of the damage came to be count
ed up it was found that every one OF
the family of five had been seriously
wounded.
Roseborough's wife was shot in the
neck and thigh, seven-year. old child
was shot in the stomach, an older child
was badly wounded in both shoulders,
younger one had his hand blown of,
and was shot in the mouth, the other,
child was wounded in the eye, the bul
let destroying his eyesight.
1t is thought that the bullets were
discharged from the log. a nearby
wood yard has suffered from numerous
thefts lately. and it is supposed the log
was loaded to catch the thieves. Pre-
para!ion OF an internal machine is a
penal offense in that State, but it is al
most impossible to prove who prepared
the loaded log.
