Nitro-GIyccrine Magazine ExpIodes.

Bradford, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE nitro
glycerine magazine of the Pennsylva-
MIA Torpedo company, located in Boil
var Hollow, one and half miles from
this city, blew up yesterday with a
report that was heard for 80 miles.
The magazine was blown to atoms and
a hole made in the earth Is feet deep
by 80 feet in circumference. Trees
were torn into splinters at the scene of
the explosion, and the brick of which
the magazine walls were constructed
was reduced 10 reddish powder, which
covered the snow over a wide area.
Much damage was done in this city
and vicinity by the breaking of glass,
overturning of chimneys, etc. 1t is
not believed any one was killed. An
oil stove, fed automatically, is believed
to have caused the explosion.

Augusta, Ga, Dec. 1.-The worst
fire that Augusta has had in years
started early Sunday morning and
caused 81 ,0O0,0 damage. 1t began in

THERE has been an epidemic of
mysterious fires in New Castle coun-
ty the past week. The first two
fires occurred on Monday morning
early, one at Bear Station and the
other one on Jason Davis farm near
Farnhurst. The third fire occurred
early Sunday morning at ) clock.
when the large barn OF Edward II.
Woodward, on the new road to the
Brandywine Springs was set ahre
and burned to the ground, together
with all its contents and some 20
head OF cattle. The original barn
was erected in lS47, but destroyed
by fire IN 1881, when it was rebuilt,
making the second time it has been
destroyed by fire since 1881, The
FIRE was a mysterious one and
everything points to it having been
fred. 1t is high time reward was
offered for these barn burners and
the guilty wretches put in New
Castle Jail. The wretch who could
deliberately Sc fire to barns and
DESTROY horses and cattle does not
deserve to live; hanging would be
too good tor such heartless scoun
drels. We hope that the firing o.
these two barns may be cleared W
by our authorities, No farmer car

WHAT can possess some men to

the beginnipg to the end is past
finding outy The proofs of what
the REPUBLICAN, printed in recent
issue about Mr.. Fred Z. Bach and
the proposed deal which he was
trying to fix up at Dover during the
session Of the last Legislature can
be produced If he insists on it. We
had no intention OF libeling MIR.
Bach or any other man in the Re-
publican party. He has been a
hard worker and has been reward
ed and that fact alone should be
sufficient incentive to keep him for
some time in the background in
Delaware politics. He says the
REPUBLICAN is not an Addicks or
gan, and he, for one, should know
whereof he speaks, while his bosom
bob at Georgetown says in a shrek
that it is an Addicks organ. We
will say that the REPUBLICAN has
been laboring for years for the sue
cess OF the party, without regard
to the claims of any one man or
set OF men. That it may have been
mistaken in the past we do not
doubt, but not such mistakes or
: blunders as have been committed
by men who call themselves shrewd
politicians, and have insisted on
making promises they never intend
ed to keep. Wemay not have much
influence as Mr.. Bach charges, but
then it has always had more inf1u-
encc than any paper he has had the
honor Of editing in Delaware. 1t is
still doing business at the old stand
where it has been published for the
last thirty years or more. We
could mention several well known
Republicans who will bear the RI
PUBLICAN out in its statement con-
corning the deal and sudden de-
parture of Mr. Bach from Dover.
Facts are not lies or libels. Won
der if Jonathan S. Willis could tell
of any very interesting meetings
that took place in certain office
on Market street about the time the
Legislature was in session! The
truth must have struck home deep
to call forth such reply from Mr..
Bach in far off Havana.
