Awful Fate Of a Man and Team
Of Horses.

Muncie, Ind, Feb. 4.--The Indiana
gas belt, with circumference of 300
miles, was given thorough shaking
up at noon Sunday with another
nitroglycerin explosion on the
Washington Painter farm, is miles
west of Muncie, and only fragments
of team of horses and man in
charge can be found. Percy Fort, of
knightstown, was hauling 700 quarts
of nitroglycerin to the magazine Of
the Painter farm for use in the oil
wells, and the explosion occurred
while the man was unloading the
stuff from the wagon. There were
SO quarts in the magazine, and only
two great holes in the ground show
where the wagon and magazine stood,
while fragments of the mans clothes
with bits of flesh and part of the
horses hang in the tree tops for a
quarter of mile distant. a part of
one arm is the largest piece of the
mans body found. Fortunately no
one else was near, owing to the fact
that it was Sunday. There is no one
to tell how it happened. The Alvy
Painter home is 200 yards distant, and
was badly wrecked, dishes being
broken with every window light.
Some stock in the barn yard was
killed, but the family was at church.
Other houseshad windows broken out,
and in Alexandria, four miles distant,
plate glass window in an office was
broken, also many saloon windows
were broken ont in the town. The
explosion was heard 25 miles distant,

way service is hampered greatly, and
trains are delayed on al railways.
Milwaukee, Feb. A blizzard from
the northeast has been raging in this
city all day. Street cars had a hard
time and only few cars are running
on each line. The lines were kept
open only by the constant running of
the sweepers. The snow is drifting
badly and the steam railroads were
hampered somewhat, also.
Detroit, Mich, Feb. 4.-From all
towns in southern Michigan reports
are coming in of the worst snowstorm
of the season. About eight inches OF
snow on the level is the record, but the
snowfall has been accompanied by a
severe northeast wind, which has piled
drifts two and three feet deep in coun-
try roads and along railroad tracks
1t Is a wet snow and on this account
travel is blocked. Trains into Detroit

Des Moines,. Ia, Feb. 4.-The snow
storm that struck Des Moines about
midnight Saturday covered the entire
state and is the most severe of the
winter. A strong northwest wind has
been blowing, and has piled the snow
in drifts from one to two feet deep
Railway trains through the state have
been delayed considerably and street
car traffic was practically blocked for
q time.

PLANS FOR The ARMY
Work of Reorganization to Begin
at Once.

Washington, Feb. 2.-There will be
no delay at the war department in
executing the army reorganization
law. The reorganization scheme en-
crosses almost the entire attention
of the military authorities, and the
result will be officially promulgated
in general orders as soon as the bill
shall have been signed by the presi-
dent. The matters which will receive
the earliest attention are the APP
pointments of the general and field
officers and the recruitment of the
ten additional regiments of infantry
and cavalry authorized by the bill
Recruiting stations have been estab-
lished at all the principal centers of
population, and all available officers
in this country have been assigned to
recruiting duty. There is an immedi-
ate demand for at least 5000 recruits
to meet deficiencies in the Philip
pines, caused by the necessary dis
charge of the entire volunteer force
by the 30th of June at the latest.
Appointments.
All the principal appointments pro-
vided for in the bill practically have
been decided upon by the president.
A list of these nominations has been
made out at the war department and
will be submitted to the senate with
out delay. In case the bill is signed
tins week, which is confidently ex-
pected, the appointments already
agreed upon win be sent to the SEN
ate early next week, possibly Monday.
These appointments will include
lieutenant general, four major gener-
ais, nine brigadier generals and the
colonies and other officers essential
to the organization of the ten new
regiments. The impression prevails at
the war department that Gen. Miles
will receive the lieutenant genera,cy
and that Gems. Macarthur, Wood,
Wade and Young are most likely to
be made major generals, although it
is possible that Gen. Merriam will be
made a substitute for one of the four
named. Among the officers mentioned
as likely to receive commissions as
brigadier generals are Gems. Bates,
Wheaton, Chaffey, Schwan, Arnold,
Rodgers and Wood (if the last named
does not secure the higher grade).
Including line and staff, the president
will have to appoint about 1880 Off
GERS to meet the requirements OF the
new law. There Is great pressure to
secure these appointments, and the
