Terrific ExplosOn.

Editor PreSs:-
DEAR SIR Il thought would send you the
following item as it might be of interest to your
readers:
On Tuesday morning at 1890 O'Clock, on Jan.
80, one ton and quarter of dynamite belonging
to the Sibley Quarry Co., exploded The people
of this city felt the shock, although it was above
Trenton, seventeen miles. Blaster Nelson Burbo
was blown to atoms A heavy blast had been
fired an hour before the explosion occurred, and
forman Robert Hinton, with Burbo and Rushlow,
who are the blasters under his direction, had
prepared for another blast. Everything was
ready and Burbo went to the magazine to secure
the dynamite, Rushlow saw Burbo disappear in
magazine and was just climbing out of the
quarry six hundred feet away, when sudden
ly there was n terrific explosion, followed in
stantly by another much heavier and a great
cloud of smoke arose in the air, that was all that
could be seen. When the smoke cleared away a
ghastly sight presented to the gaze of the
thoroughly frightened quarrymen. Not
vstage of the magazine could be seen and
great funnel-shaped hole ten feet deep and
fifteen feet across, was scooped out of the
earth for distance of fully two hundred
feet into the woods, near which the powder
house stood. Not tree was left standing great
hickory and elm trees a foot or more in diameter
were twisted out of the earth at their roots and
smaller trees had been cut sharp off, some five
and others twenty-five feet from the ground;
one old elm tree, fully two feet in thickness had
been broken sharp off, less than a foot fro m
the ground, smaller trees were carried fully two
to three hundred feet and lodged in the tree
tops house 200 feet away (which one side
was embarked with earth, had one side blown
completely out although not a tree or anything
hit it, Mrs Fitzpatrick washing in n kitchen
at the back of the house and had her arms
badly cut by broken glass, and her who was
in a shed near by was knocked down and stun
ned and everything that could be smashed in the
house was completely blown to fragments.
Seeing there was no danger ofanother explosion,
the laborers began a search for Burbo. After
hunting for two or three hours a small piece of
bone was found and nearby another. These and
part of the case of his gold watch and half of
one of his feet all that could be found to in
dicate that man had been there. A tree a
hundred feet away had q blotCh of blood in its
upper branches.
Effects in Detroit, II miles from the scene in
the residence of Mr.. Gogg, near the corner of
Watson and Chene Streets glassware was broken
by the force of the explosion; chimney n
house on Hastings street thrown down and
one of the houses ofJohn Turnbul, near the COR

NEW YORK, Feb. st is claimed
that great financial Importance attaches
to a deal by which the control of the
Western New York and Pennsylvania
Railroad passes to a. j. Cassett, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and interests with which he is identi-
fed. The stock purchased is, to a
great extent, owned in Amsterdam,
Berlin and Leipzig.
1t is believed to be part of a plan
agreed upon by Mr.. Cassatt and
William X. Vanderbilt, by which the
Pennsylvania is to abandon certain
territory contributory to the New
York Central and Vanderbilt lines are
to abstain from competition with
the Pennsylvania in other sections of
the country.

Story of q SIaVe.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form of slavery. George d. Williams, of
Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: My
wife has been 50 helpless for five years
that she could not even turn over in bed
alone. Alter using two bottles of Elec-
tric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved
and able to do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, backache, Iainting
and dizzy spells. This miracle working
medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly,
run down people. Every bottle guaran-
teed. Only 80 cents. Sold by L. Tag
gart, druggist.

The Drunken Lieutenant.

The Terrible took a prominent part
IN the bombardment of Odessa. Our
second lieutenant, Mr.. S., was not a
temperate man. Before the lombard
ment began he sought for courage in a
square faced bottle, and when the
drum beat to quarters he was in his
cabin in a drunken sleep, from which
he could not be awakened. AS / was
midshipman of his quarters l had to
fight his guns. In the evening, when
he came to himself, he was put under
arrest, and we midshipmen speculated
whether he would be shot or hung ut
the yardarm. Either would have been
a thrilling episode, but ! am not sure
that his fate was not even more tragic.
AS soon as the anchor was dropped
in the Golden Horn, off StamDoul, the
captain ordered, MAN the second gig"
We all wondered. Then he said, Tell
Mr.. S. l want him."
Poor S. came up at once, greatly as
tonished at the summons.
The second gig is Manned Mr.. s."
said the skipper sternly and turned
away.
S. took the hint, stepped at once into
the boat and was landed at the nearest
shore. From that day no soul ever
heard what became of him. Whether
he committed suicide, whether he got
other employment mot a difficult mat
ter in those busy tines, whether, un-
der another name, he won for himself
the respect of his fellow men has new
er been known. - Contemporary Re
view.

The platform OF the Republican
Party presented at the convention
yesterday is the death-knsll OF the
political pull OF that small wing of
voters. 1t must be pleasant to
Mckinley and Roosevelt to know
that II. p. Baldwin, w. G. Achi and
others endorse their nomination {.
We never knew that Hawaii had
anything to say in presidential cleo
tions. The Republicans oppose
"any restriction or limitation OF the
suffrage which We now enjoy"
That sounds funny, when we consi-
der the numerous threats of dis
frauchisement OF the Hawaiians
published in the officials organs.
The Republicans want Statehood,
aud that happy thought was bor-,
rowred from tho platform OF the
Independents, from which they also
got their points in regard to quail
fication OF employees on public
works; the eight hour rule; the
establishment OF municipal and
county government; the oppt S tion
