Three Powder Hsuraaiaea Exploded
Gainesville, Tex., Aug 26 Three
powder magazines be ongiog one each to
tbe Dapoot, Rand & Nailv, aud Hazard
powder companies, blew op here jester
day afternoon. There were 100 kegs of
powder id tbe magnziiies. Lightning
bad been darting through tbe skies ail
forenoon, and at" 1 o'clock a bolt struck
one ol tbe magazines, whicb exploded,
wiping the other two off tbe lace of tbe
earth. Tbe concussion was ternbe. Tbe
earth trembled, and men, women and
-.-hildren rushed to tbe treets. ' The
shock broke windows, aod in some in
stances ruined bouses a mile ditant
The explosion was beard 15 miles off
Cattle grazing near the magazines were
killed aDd ternbly mangled. .bvery
house within a mile of tbe explosion was
badly damaged, nud the inmates serionslv
injured. Haif a dozen persons received
dangerousi wouods from broken trees and
fulling timbers. Loss, $15,000.
Blown np by Slant Powder.
Spangle, Wash., Aug. 26 The wife of
Lloyd Lyons and the little daughter of
Frank Lyons were blown np by a giant
powder explosion to-day at 2 e m., at
the farm of Dr. Lyons, six miles south
west of this place. Mrs. Lyons and tbe
little girl went to tbe emokeboute and
set np a stove sitting in one corner in
which five or t-ix sticks of giant powder
were etired. The lady made a fire in the
stove, intending to make apple butter.
Sbe and the little girl were sitting by tbe
stove, wbeo tbe powder exploded with
terrible effect, tearing tbe biuse to
atoms. Mrs Lyons was horribly cut by
pieces of the stove. Both of her eye
balls seemed to be burst by the concus
sion. The little girl received a deep cut
on one leg. It is thought Mrs Lyona
will live, but she will probably lose ber
eyesight.
. A Colliery Horror.
London, Aag 26 A fearful mine ex
plosion has occurred at ParjtsliD coal pit.
near Bridge End, Wales . One bnndred
and fifty men are entombed, and it is
feared iheie bas been a (treat loss of life.
Not a single man made bis escape. Tbe
work ol dealing tbe pit bas bee on witb
many hundred volunteers. At 6 o'clock
tbis evening tbe rescuing party came to
the surface with two men whom tbey
found near the bottom of tbe pit. Both
were, liadly burned and onconectons, with
li' tie hope of recovery.' Shortly after
this, fire suddenly bnrst forth (rots tbe
mouth of tbe pit. This cut off all hope
tor those wbo hrst escaped death. Tbey
have certainly-been suffocated or burned
to death. ' ' '

London, Aug. 27. All nigbt long vol
uo'eer parties kept up work at Park Slip
pit, tbe scene of tbe disastrous explosion
in Wales yesterdav. At 6 o cluck this
morning tbey bad penetraced 900 yards
into the main shaft. In all this distance
not a sign of life was discovered. Here
and there was tbe body of a miner, bnt
attitude invariable showed tbat death
had come suddenly. Some ot tbe men
bad died in tbe very act ol using their
picks. Ten oodles were recovered ot mea
who did not have a second of warning ot
heir late. The bodies of two men were
discovered, however, who Dad apparently
made a frantic attempt to escape. Wbiie
the band of rescuers was working in the
pit a sound was beard wbicb caused tbe
men suddenly to stop. Soon a repetition
was beard, low and weak, but indicating
life beyond a grtst wall ot rock and de
bris. At 1 :30 tbis afternoon the drift
was finally penetrated and 39 imprisoned
miners rescued. Tbe scene wben tbey
reached tbe surface was indescribable
Wives, sweethearts, sisters, brothers, and
in sme cases lathers nd mothers, were
waiting, frantic to see if their loved ones
were among tbe saved. Tbe worK of
clearing galleries is still being pushed in
the hope of saying others :. One of tbe
rescued miners said: -
A crowd of ns got together in tbe
level after the explosion. We could hear
the flames roaring through the mine.
After a time we tried to get out, but were
driven back by sulphur fumes. Tbree
men sought to rush through, but lost
ibeir lives, dying where tbey fell, as it
was impossible for us to save them." '
Late this afternoon another rescuing
party saved e'ght more imprisoned min
ers. Volunteer rescuers state tbey have
signaled another party of imprisoned
men, wbo, by striking on the wall, sig
naled there were 14. of them waiting to
be dug out.
Brothers! Caoutht Taking Wheat.
Hillsboro, Aug 27 Trie greatest ex
citement was created in what is known
as tbe Corneliui Plain, north of this
place, last nigbt. For some weeks past
farmers bave been losing large quantities
of wheat and other stuff, taken from the
fields and granaries, and a strict watch
has been kept to catch the thieves. Last
night some persons, supposed to be the
Pomeroy - boys. Dwight and Walter, of
Scappoose, drove to tbe Bagley farm and
loaded waeon with Wheat. 'They were
then surrounded by the -watchers, and on
attempting to capture them several shots
were tired on both sides without effect.
The thieves managed to get away and
drove furiously toward Jfortland, porsued
bv a dozen infuriated farmers. Tbe
thieves got a good start. Jesse Cornelius
followed close after them, but he com
pletely lost them at West Union. While
prowling around, however, in the timber,
be ran across an old slaughter house,
completely bidden in tbe thick timber.
On making an investigation, be found
stored in this house 100 sacks' ot wheat
and ' Other produce, aod noticed every
evidence tbat a large numoer of domestic
animals bad lately been slaughtered there
Af'er this, a sheriff, armed with a war
rant, succeeded in arresting Dwight Pom
eroy, and : brought him to town, lie
found him near (Vest Union, at his
brother's bouse. Great excitement pre
vails, and utbere is much stisfaction
among the farmers over tbe arrest.
Rational. Beserve to be Hade stilt.
Washington, . D. C, Aug. 28 It it.
expected tbe president will, soon after bis
return, to .Washington, take action upon
tbe memorial and petition of Oregon citi
sens asking .that a national reserve of
Mount Hood and a few adjoining town
ships be made. .. This reservation can be
made under section 24 of the last general
land 'law,' which was passed during the
31st congress, and provided that the pres- -ident
'might 'make" forest reservations
wben in bis discretion It seemed best lor
tbe public good. If the people of Oregon
desire Mount "Hood 'and the adjoining
lands' to be made into a national reserve,
and settlers prevented from 'coming upon
an portion of these grouuds. it can be
done' by an executive order. In times
past neaily ail ot these forest reclamation
proclamations ' by the president, setting
apart certain labds under this forest re
serve law, have caused a great' deal ot
trouble. People living in tbe vicinity of
these lands, or desiring to take up a por
tion of tbe land proposed to be reserved,
generally make complaints, these com
plaints being filed witb the commissioner
of the general land office . It bas been
the case in nearly every instance where
reservations bave been made.' and in sev
eral states tbe fight is still goiog ou as to
whether these ' park reservations should
be made or not. i ;.,! ?.'. ;! t.

the emigrant party of which tbe stricken

posed of 85 persons. The party arrived
in Glasgow on- Thursday, intending to
sail for America the same day, but tbe
rbip tbey intended to take was too full
to admit tbem. The discovery of cbole a

A Bis; dan Factory- '
Washington, Aug 29 Before tbe
Oregon senators leave for the Pacific
Coast tbey will probably insist that tbt
board of officers, consisting of three army
aod tbree navy officers, be appointed to
examine and report upon a site tor tbe
gun factory on tbe Pacific Coast Here
tofore it bas been considered probable
that this gun factory would be located at
Benicia, but tbe officers of the various
dep,rtmeot8 assert that the Columbia
river and Puget Sound are making an
effort to secure tbe site The officers say
that a FdCiuc Coast factory is absolutely
necessary, on account of the number of
guns and mortars needed for coast defen
ses, and tbe inability of Watervliet to
supply them. They estimate that the
Pacific Coast will require S00 guns, and
say there wonld be great rmlitaiy advan
tagea in having a gun factory on tbe
Pacific Coast. Tbe Oregon senators be
ilevo tbat tbe Columbia river will be se
lected as tbe point for tbe location of tbis
factory wben everything is taken into
consideration, but ot course California
and Pupet Sound will be active candi
dates Already these sections bave pre
sented claims for the location, but it is
