Hall, manager of Holding's soda fac tory m this city, was murdered about midnight lasl night in a stable at the roar of the workshop. The body was placed in a dnonvaj, which connects the .stable with the factory, covered with straw, and set on lire, for the purpose of covering the crime. The lire was extinguished before much damage was done to the building. The doctor who examined tho re mains, found four or five large cuts about the head. The deed was done with a heavy iron bar, about three feel long, which was laying near ihe body covered Avith blood. The supposition is that robbery was the object of tho crime, as a gold watch the deceased earned was miss ing, Avith other jewelry. The safe was also robbed or its contents, but it is not known how much was taken. The deceased was a middle aged man, un man ied, well-known in this comity. The robber is supposed to be a" col ored man, who has been about the city, and who hasdissappeared. If lie had been captured J:isl night, he would have surely been lynched. tsii: s::as,2N; qvi:st:ox.

Joseph Procter, a well lmown resideut of Columbus, was an eye witness of the explosion, and he gave a very vivid account of the sad affair. UI hardly know how I can describe the awful occurrence, as lam still dazed from the effects. I was sitting with a friend near lung's mill and during the afternoon sauntered up the road lo the cartridge factory. When the freight train came along I started toward my friend's house, aud on reaching thetop of the hill, I turned around just as the freight train was making a rnnning switch on the side track. A brake-man was on one of the cars as they shot onto the side track, and he Wtos waving his hand to some one on the train. As I looked I saw two detached cars bump against what I supposed was an empty ear on the side track. An instant later there w;i3 a mm bling nowe, and then the very ground .eemed to open. I saw a" puff of smoke, followed a second later by an other. The cars disappeared," the slalion and powder house and dwell ings seemed to follow, and the work of destruction had only just commenced. I stood rooted to the ground. I had an idea, of course, what had occurred, but 1 could not realize it. I kuew many lives were going out, but T was powerless to lend assistance. Tnen dense volumes of ilamc and smoke came pouring from the doors and windows or the cartridge factory, and I saw men, women and children tearing at each other, in frantic en deavors to escape. Tho explosion and the fire at the cartridge house, seemed to be simultaneous. The bnilding did not catch lire in the ordinary way, but the flame seemed to penetrate tho doors and windows from all sides. I saw a number come out, but some cer tainly perished in tho flames."
