KILLED In A QUARRY.
EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE CAUSES
THE DEATH OF TWO MEN.
THEY WERE lHAWING IT BY A FIRE.
me FORCE of the Explosion Terrible,
nut No One Else Was Hurt
"oth the Bodies Horribly Mutt
lated.

An explosion OF dynamite resulting In
the loss OF two lives. occurred At Harris,s
quarry near Boscobel Station. about
eighteen miles above Richmond. on the
1ames-River Division Of the Chesapeake
ana Ohio railroad, yesterday afternoon.
Inc men who lost their lives were
thawing dynamite by fire in the quarry
when the explosion occurred. The SHOCK
was very severe, and men working near
them were almost covered by the dirt
and debris.
The men killed were brothers-William
J. and Leroy Snead Ccolored). They were
contractors in the quarry, which is owned
by Mr.. II. j. Harris. and are said to have
been worthy men.
PROBABLY SEVEN POUNDS LET GO.
Mr.. Harris, who was in the city last
night. says he does not known the exact
amount of dynamite which exploded, but
thinks 1t was about seven pounds the
amount which he took home from Rich
mond with him at noon yesterday and
let the negroes have.
The bodies of the men were terribly
mutilated. The arms OF each were blown
Off at the elbows, and not fragment
could be found. Each was badly crushed
about the face, and 1t is thought one
thigh of each man was broken.
WALL OF STONE SHATTERED.
A natural wall of solid rock of con-
siderable height close to where the dyna-
mite exploded was cracked from top
to bottom by the explosion. and it is lit
tie short of miracle that no one else
was hurt, as several men were at work
only a few feet away.
Mr. Harris was at the commissary
several hundred yards away. and says the
explosion was tremendous. He hurried
to the quarry as rapidly as possibly, but
found the men dead. He says he thinks
one of the men must have accidentally
dropped cap in the fire, which was the
cause OF the explosion, as dynamite will
burn without exploding. unless cap be
attached.
William Snead leaves family, but his
brother was unmarried.

THE CARTER COuRT-MARTIAL.
Alleged Charge to Labor Account or
Cost of Articles for Office Use.

SAVANNAH, GA, March 15.-The Car
ter court-martial resumed its sessions
here to-day, after an absence Of more
than two weeks I'm New York city. The
United States courtroom being in use,
tho court secured the banquet hall in the
Desoto Hotel where the audience was
more select than it had been formerly.
Chief-Clerk j. W. Osterly was the first
witness called. and his testimony was
asked with reference to the only spec!-
fication upon which the prosecution had
not vet touched-that in which Captain
Carter Is charged with having bought
articles for office use by putting them on
the pay-rolls as labor, instead of having
them go through the regular routine.
Chief-Clerk Osterly said that had been
a regular practice I'm the office for the
last twelve years-eyer since he had been
here.
1t was shown by the defence, however,
that Chief-Clerk Osterly had made the
payments In this way himself, though he
claimed he did It all under Captain Car
ter's orders.
Mr.. Blair of the defence, objected to
the introduction of a payroll, which
shows that Captain Carter had been reim-
bursed for $3.50 for money spent for uni
forms for sailors on the Angler. By COM
muting the amount into labor. This
raised a false issue, Mr. Blair contended
which related TO nothing in the charges
but the court admitted IT,
Several witnesses who had furnished
articles and signed the pay-rolls as labor
ers we're introduced to testify to these
facts.
Court then adjourned till II o'clock to-
morrow.

(Ainger's Poems Of Thomas Hood.")

afrected by the circumstance that he

quality and earnest aims. and was so
