BLOWN UP WITH DYNAMITE.

Luther NJ. Davis, eyed about 40 years,
of Four Locks, Md. was instantly killed,
and Charles II. Rubeck, living at ST..
PAul's Church, near ClearspriDg, was
seriously and perhaps fatally injured by
the premature explosion OF a blast at
the Western Maryland Railroad quar-
ries along the Potomac Valley branch,
at PInesburg, yesterday. The body OF
Of Davis was terribly mangled, a por'
ton OF his head and his right arm be-
ing torn of. Rnbeck was cut 10 score
of places about the head, face and body.
Both hands were blown of at the
wrists, bis right leg was broken at the
knee, and he sustained internal injuries
from which 1t Is thought he cannot re-
cover.
Davis and Rubeck were filling deep
hole with dynamite when the explosion
occurred. II ls said that an unusually
heavy charge OF dynamite was placed
10 the hole, and Davis wss in the act
of tamping it, standing directly over
the hole, with Rubeck on the opposite
side. 1t is thought that Davis used tao
much force in tsmping. Ia the hole,
which was II feet deep, there were 10
sticks OF dynamite, but the cap had
not been placed over the dynamite,
Rebeck was adjusting the cap when the
explosion occurred. Davis was thrown
more than 80 feet, landing among
rocks. Rubeck was thrown about 10
feet, and was unconscious when picked
up. The msngled remains of Davis
were brought ID Hsgerstown on the
Cherry Run passenger train end re-
moved 10 the rooms OF Undertaken @.
NJ. Suter, where they were prepared
for burial. Davis, who was formerly
lock keeper for the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal at Four Locks, is survived
by wife and two children. On the
same train Rebeck was brought TO Ha'
Oerstown and taken to the Y. M. q. a.
Hospital. He is S5 years OF age and
has q wife and four children. There ID
no hope for his recovery.
There were nearly 40 men working
in the quarry at the time, and many Of
them were more or less shocked by the
explosion.

SPENT NINE YEARS IN WIFES
TOMB.

Jonathan Reed has for nine years
kept vigil at the tomb OF bis wife 10
Evergreen Cemetery, Brooklyn. When
she died moe years ago Mr.. Reed was
overwhelmed with grief. He could
not bear the thought OF separation that
the grave implied. 80 he had spa
cious vault constructed and 10 it was
placed the steel casket coLtaiDing the
mortal remains of bis loved one. by
tue eide OF bis wife's coffin he had a
similar cssket placed. in which bis own
body will soon rest. 10 the vault he
placed bis wife's iavorite books and
pictures, the trinkets she cared most
for and that had been associated with
her home life. Her canary was stuffed
and the cage was huug over the coffio.
And then Mr.. Reed began daily visits
to the tomb.
He reached the cemetery early each
morning and stayed until the gates
we're closed at night The manager OF
the cemetery asked Mr.. Reed to cease
nis daily visits but be said tnst the
property belonged to him; that he could
.tAy there as much az he pleased.
Thereafter he was not moleet.d.
Visitors from all over the world have
called on Mr. Reed. He was courteous
to ell and to all he told Of bis happy life
with the dead vile and his anxiety to
be laid by her side.
"Sne was always the prettiest wo'
man in the WORLD" be Gays, "and to me
she is just as pretty as she ever was.
love her as I did when she became my
bride A years ago."
In good weather Mr.. Reed sits 10
front of the tomb 10 the sunshine.
When the weather is bad he enters the
vault, which is large enough for him to
move about and is furnished with q
chair, sofa, cushions, bric-a-brac and
haugings.
When the old man reaches the tomb
each day he addresses his wife as
though she were alive, tells her how he
feels and continues bis talk for many
| minutes.

Reed yesterday, land / do not expect

The Chief Sense.

All the great families OF living things
have dominant sense. We lead our
life by sight and make artificial lights

creature whom next to ourselves we
prefer. the dog. lives in a very different
universe His dominant sense, like that
OF many other quadrupeds. is the very
one we most neglect, the sense OF smell.
The dog will track his master. never

Wonders In the Equine Foot.

The foot of horse is one Of the most
ingenious and uneXampled pieces OF
mechanism in the whole range Of ami
NAL structure The outside hoof is
made up of a series Of thin vertical
lamina of horn, about 800 in number.
Into this are fitted about 800 more thin
lamina, which belong to the coffin
bone, both sets being elastic and adher-
ent. The edges Of a quire of paper in
serted leaf by leaf into another quire
will furnish good idea of the arrange
ment of the lamina in all the feet,
amounting to about 1000. These are
distributed in the most secure manner
and in way that every spring is acted
upon in an obiiQue direction. Verify
there is a display OF natures wonder

Stopping n Fast Train.

which they wish to alight. They should
consider the cost OF satisfying their
whm. A train going at a rate Of sixty
miles an hour can be stopped within
120 yards from the first application OF
the brake. Now, enough power is lost
to carry this same train fifteen miles
over a plane surface. First there Is
the momentum acquired by the train
flying at this remarkable rate Of speed
then the loss of steam in applying the
brakes and lastly the extra amount OF
coal to compensate for all these losses
