In an interview in the Kansas City
Star Dem the Hon. Walter Roscoe
Stubbs (Dem.) takes washington
county out Of his vest pocket and
handsit over to Radically Rong Rees,
The voters hereabouts are disposed to
gick about It that 10 to say, the Re
publican voters Even most Of the
Republicans who are for Stubs con.
tend that they will so tn IS far and
no farther. Our advice to the voter
is 10 keen his coat on. Stubs merely
allowed the wish to act Us sponsor
for the thought. Also It is customary
with politicians to pass through a
town and then know more about the
situation" than the Inhabitants there
of. The gentlemen whom Mr.. Stubs
met. without meaning to reflect on
them at all. were his kind Of fellows.
It ID not to be presumed that many
people would be SO impolite to Wis
itor, especially a distinguished visit
tor like the governor Of the state, as
to try to make his stay unpleasant
here by displaying to him the dire
calamity that VIII happen to him and
his political friends when the voters
get through with him in August. Thus
1t is that the wicked people often fill
mans bosom with hope, and prunes
SO that he eoeth away with exceeding
great great Joy, his cup runneth over,
likewise his mouth. Stubs present
stand reminds us of the boy going
through the grave yard whistling to
keep up his courage.
Since his visit here there have
been men in this office from every
sorner Of the county. Only a small
uer cent Of them have been FOR
stubbs, only one of them has been
against Calderhead and he was
drunk. Even those who still have
faith in Stubs are not inclined to
trade a good public servant like Mr..
Calderhead for an unknown quantity
Just because a few disgruntled poli-l
tiicians want them to do SO.
But let Stubs Jenjoy his little
Joke while he may. He can give this
county to whomever he pleases now,
but the voters expect to give 1t to
Calderhead in August. Washington

CAUSE OF THAT EXPLOSION.
Three Hundred Pounds of Erie's
Powder at Black Rock.

Many persons OF Port Jervis were
awakened at about 1890 O'Clock,
Tuesday night, by terrific explosion.
The shock was more severely felt at
farm houses along the Neversink,
at Huguenot and Guymard. Persons
in the employ of the Erie who were
up at that hour saw a flash in the
eastern sky followed by a heavy ex-
plosion and trembling of the earth.
1t was not known what caused the
explosion until the following morn
ing. when Erie employees discovered
that the company's powder house at
Black Rock had exploded. The
building was situated In the woods
back from the track and contained
upwards of 800 pounds of blasting
powder and dynamite. used for
blasting purposes on the mountain by
the Erie.
The forest fires raging in the vi
entity for several days past had
reached the magazine and exploded
the powder, the jar OF which set on
the dynamite. Nothing was left of
the building. and a big hole was
found on the spot where it stood,
Trees and brush in the vicinity were
torn out by the roots by the force
OF the explosion and heavy boulders
thrown in every direction.
