plosion, at 9:45 o'clock last night, of the

Warren, in Huntington county. shook
every building in Montpelier, and brought
every resident to the street. Persons who
lived here five years ago. when George
Hickock and Harry Wood were blown to
pieces in the great explosion two miles west
Of Montpelier, recognized the cause of the
hoise and the shock at once, and thought it
was one OF the factories or magazines on
The Spauldlng farm, north of the city. Two
men drove out at orce and established the
fact that the trouble not there.
1t vas not learned until this morning that
ii was the Findlay Torpedo CompanyS
magazine, two and one-half miles south
Yves. of Warren, where more than 500
quarts of nitroglycerir were stored. The
cause of the explosion has not been learn
ed, but the two theories most favored are
that an overheated stove or the efforts of
tramp or tramps to break into the heated
building caused ii.
The Garthwaite Company, Of this city,
was fortunate. It's magazine, containing
over 200 quarts of the explosive, is only
half mile from the hole in the ground
which marks the site of the Findlay Com
rany's plant, and when it was opened to-
day it was found that cans of nitro-glycer-
ine had been shaken from the shelves and
lay on the ground, where they had fallen.

ANY ONE TO BEAT MIERs.


Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Ind, Jan. 26-The con-
gressional situation in the Second district,
from Democratic standpoint. is one of
growing interest. The reelection of Parks
Martin over ex-senator Tharp of this city,
has engendered an opposition to Repre-
sentative Miers which has spread to al
most every county in the district. Five
candidates are already said TO be against
him, three of whom are announced The
three in the field are Aiken of Sullivan,
Davis Of Greene, and ex-Mayor Ogdon of
Daviess. The latter is one of the strong
est members Of the bar in southern In
diana and is a Democrat among Demo-
Gratis. He Is popular and wealthy, and If
nominated would make strong canvass.
1t is believed by the local Democratic lead
ers that Ogdon will be able to crystalline
the anti-Miers forces and draw them to
himself
The majority of the Knox county Demo-
Gratis are opposed to Miers and they will
support the Daviess county man, or any
other man, who can beat Miers. This fac
ton is led by Mason j. Niblack. Mierss
best friend in Knox is William A. Cullop,
but he has been defeated in every contest
up to date. In Greene county about every
thing seems to be anti-Miers. William
ing an onslaught on the Monroe county
man, who he says was nominated the
first time by fraud. Martin county has no
candidate, but will stand with Daviess.
There is any amount of bad blood in the
contest and to a man up a tree 1T ap-
pears that the Second district will be rep
resented in the next Congress by new
man-likely Republican.

WATCHING SHELLS BURST.


'LADYSMITH, Jan. %. by runner to Frere
Camp, Jan 24-Our principal occupation
now is watching the bursting of shells
fred by General Buffers men advancing
from the west. This observation tends to
raise the spirits of the men. The heavy ar
tillery makes - most joyful sound. The
Boer bombardment on Ladysmith has prac-
tically ceased, though their Bulwana gun
sometimes fires. The Telegraph hill Creusot
fired a single shell this morning, which
wobbled remarkably 1t is probable that
our howitzers have again damaged the
gun. Recently the Beers began to shell
Observation hill from Surprise hill with an
eight-inch mortar throwing round shot
with old-fa shioned touch-wood fuses. The
British field artillery silenced this gun, Kill
ing twenty. Ii is said. Saturday afternoon
there was some gun fire from the eastward.
1t came from Bulwana and Lombards kop.
This probably was ''put-up job" to make
US think British reinforcements were adj
vancing from the east. The fire may posi-
bly, have come from scouts belonging TO
some irregular forces. to whom we under
stand Butler has given rowing command.
There was rife fire In the same direction,
but further south, on Saturday night from
IL o'clock TO mirnight. 1t was sharp and
intermittent.
The movements of the Beers show that
they are evidently determined to stubborn
ly oppose the advance of the relief column.
They show no signs of removing their guns,
and have mounted new ones and are con-
tinually strengthening their Notifications.
Our Notifications have been greatly
strengthened since Jan. g. and Ladysmith
Is now practically impregnable.
Owing to the dry weather the fever has
diminished and the number of GONZALES
cents returning from Intombi camp ex-
ceeds that of the patients being sent there.
The supplies are spinning out splendidly,

food.

A Highlander Tells of the Disaster mt
MOdder River.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
LONDON. Jan. 1.-THE following account
of the Modder River fight was received
to-day from one of the Argyll and Suth-
erland highlanders: We have had some
hot fighting with Methuen, but we go.
through all right until the 18th, when we
got licking We. of the Highland brigade,
had to march during the night to surprise
the Beers. No one knew what we were go
ing to do or where we were going. The rain
came down in torrents and we were soaked
through, and that on empty stomachs.
We were led right into the Boer trenches
by guides. and before we could deploy from
column half of us were shot down. We
had to run for our lives and reformed 500
yards back. when the Gordons Joined US,
and we again tried the trenches. But *
was no good. All day we lay out in the
sun. without food drink, and I'm the
afternoon the Boer shells began bursting
among us so We made the best of our way
to the rear. The men were sick and dis
spirited, there was no fight left in them and
they would not stop for the officers or for
any one else. General Wauchope was
killed-hit in seven places. He was the
right sort. They say 1t was not his mis-.
take at all, and he did not want the night
attack. Any way IL was a CHASTITY failure.
The camp at Modder River was full of
BOer SpleS-COlOnlalS ana OtnerS-S0 our
every movement was watched and informa-
ton carried to the enemy. Why these peo-
pie are allowed to mess about the camp
/ cannot understand. Some of these dis
loyal Colonials have been caught redhanded
fighting against the Queen. Why don't
they shoot them right off instead of send
ing them down for trial-they don't deserve
Ii.
Most of the regiments here are full of
young boys for officers and the men don't
care about them. L saw some of them, at
Modder River. fight like a lot of school
boys, shouting out orders that none of US
could understand, that the old hands
took no notice of them and went their
own way best they could. Most of the
regiments are the same. The Guards are
the best off for officers. None of us can
make out why so many young officers are
sent out to take charge of old soldiers.
Why can't we have more of our old off,
GERS? My late captain. who left us at
Aldershot, came to see off, and we
asked why he wasn't coming with us. He
replied that the war Office would not let
him rejoin He was a good man. We
should not have lost half the men we had
If we had had older officers. We were
good brigade If We had not been messed
up and If only Wauchope had been left to
handle US himself. This is a terrible war
and God only knows how 1t will end.
