Denver. Aug. 22-A Republican spe-
cial from Trinidad last night says:
Some idea of the terrific force of the
explosions of dynamite which was dis
charged in the camps of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. which sur
round Trinidad, last night in honor Of
the victory of John C. Osgood in his
fight for the control of the company,
may be gained from the fact that a
number of windows were broken in
this city by the shock, stove pipes were
Jared loose and fell to the floor in
many houses, and fruit was shaken
off trees by bushels by the force OF tho
explosions. The nearest explosion oc-
cured about four miles from the city.

Here-All Sorts of improvements
Planned Some of Those Expected to
be Made.
A new B. d 0 depot is a possibii
ity here before very long, and indeed
may be expected soon.
Mr.. j. F. Irwin division superin
tendent of Connellsville, Mr. Fitz
gerald assistant general superin
tendent of Pittsburg, Mr. Peck train
master of Connellsville, and several
other B. IL O. officials have been here
travelling in an observation engine.
They spent three hours here looking
about the B. & O. depot and sidings
and holding consultations with the
loeas officials.
They made thorough examina-
tion of the needs OF the place in the
way of enlarged and improved freight
and passenger accommodations.
They were much surprised at the
volume of business here, and the
prospect for great increase IN the
future.
The freight depot is found to be
entirely too small and the passenger
depot inaccessible for demands of a
rapidly growing town like this. As
surances were give that something
will be done here in the line Of i'm
proved service within the year The
old depot will be devoted exclusively
to freight business, and new mod
ern passenger depot two stories
high at the suspension bridge is one
of the improvements that will like.
ly be made. A considerable amount
of new track will be laid The de
lays caused by getting freight trains
out of the way of passenger trains
are becoming so frequent that some-
thing will have to be done to relieve
the congestion. There will proba-
bly, be double track all the way
through the corporation.
The officials were very busy seeing
what is to be done, and were not Civ
ing out much for publication, but it is
learned that they were very much
pleased with the increased business
here and that they will recommend
many improvements right away.
The people of Morgantown would
certainly be highly gratified to get
new depot, more accessible and
more attractive to strangers when
they get to it.
Morgantown is now in more
prosperous condition than at any
time in her recent rapid industrial
growth. There are more people
hunting houses here, and the .rend

Read the Advertisement.

William e. Gladstone, one of the

and Englands greatest statesman,
made this statement: II like to read
the American advertisements. They
are in themselves literature, and car
guage the prosperity of the country by
their very appearance. Here is text
for a sermon that would be too long
to publish in these pages. If a mar
like Gladstone found pleasure and
profit in reading our American adYer-
tisements, what ought they to be to
those of us who are merely attempt
ing to accomplish something in the
world? The advertising space of any
properly conducted paper is unques
tionably the business end Of that pa.
per. The reading matter is for .educat.
ing and inspiring the public to bet
ter things. The advertising is all
this and more. 1t not only eddcates
the reader in regard to the constant
improvement in ways and means fol-
lettering the condition OF mankind,
but it instructs him as to where the
Improvements may be procured The
man who does not find interest and
profit in the advertisements Of his
paper misses one of the best parts OF

BUSINESS
Will be made heavy on Railroads on
account of the Big Corn Crop.

A corn crop of fully two and one
half billion bushels, which is three
hundred million bushels more THAI
the biggest crop in the history of the
country is predicted for this year by
traffic men and grain statisticians,
says the g Railway Age Two and
half million bushels of corn means
140, 900, 900, 900 pounds which means
10, 600, 600 tons, which at the liberal
average of 80 tons to the car, means
2, 1893, 1913 car loads; which at so cars
to the train means 46, 666 trains
which means loud calls for cars and
engines, long hours-and increased pay
for train crews, large earnings for the
railroads, much money for farmers,
merchants, aud all related industries,
and continuance of general prosper
ity.
How much Of the possible two and
third million carloads will actually
be carried by rail and how much of it
will be consumed on the farms cannot
be so easily figured; but the bulk of
this prodigious yield will reach the
railways in the form of corn or OF
stock, and the roads in the corn-grew-
ing regions will have all that they
can do for many months and every
railway and business in the country
will benefit from the prosperity of the
producers of this great staple.

POPE'S RECEPTION.

Wished.

Rome, Aug. 18.-The pope is in such
good health that it was not thought
necessary to suspend the Saturday

strength for a fatiguing ceremony

Of today. DR.. Lapponi, the pope
PHYSICIAN, insisted, however, upon linn
ting the number of guests to zoe, in
stead of the usual 500. The efforts
to obtain invitations to the name day
reception were so persistent and came
from such high quarters that the pom
Tiff, hearing of them, overruled his
physicians advice and had an add
tional hundred guests included
The innumerable letters and tele.
grams of felicitation received by the
rbntiff included communications from
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria
and King Alfonso of Spain. The com
munication from the king of Spain
was the first missive sent to his god
father by King Alfonso since his cor.
Grafton.
The pope held the reception in his
private library. He showed no signs
of fatigue and spoke with almost
every one present. He appeared to
he unusually animated and recognized
the Right Rev Benjamin j. Kelley
bishop of Savannah, Ca, who was the
only American present, Immediately
he perceived him. The pope said to
Bishop Kelley: Il am glad to see you
again before you leave"
Upon re-entering his private apart
rients the pope said: 1T doesn't
matter what DR.. Lapponi says; | feel
better after each occasion of this
KIND"
The reception lasted for one hour
HIS holiness talked about the col
lapse of the Campanile of st. Marks
at Venice and expressed wish to see
