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.

Cixcixx.m, Ohio, July 15. 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."

chairman, came upon the stage with
Col. Brinsmade, tho chairman of the
state committee. His appearance was
tho signal for prolonged and enthus
iastic cheering. At its conclusion, a
short speech was made by Brinsmade,
after which the ex-governor was in
troduced and delivered an address.
Foraker said: uThe Republican
party did not come out of the last
contest very well, but from now
henceforward let every Republican
look to tho front The last campaign '
should be remembered, only in so far
ns it teaches lessons of benefit for the
future. My appeal is that you place
the blame upon me, and whether it be
just or unjust for yon to do so, I shall
not stop to question.
'What happens to me or any other
individual, is of no consequence in a
political sense to anybody, but what
happens to the great Republican party
is of the highest concern to all. No
matter, therefore, what may have been
tho cause; no matter who may have
been at fault. It is all of the past
Away with everything that
stands between our party and our
party's triumphs."
He referred in eulogistic term3 lo
Sherman, McKinley and Foster,
praised the administration of Har
rison and the work of the Republican
congress. Foraker's speech occupied
nearly an hour in its delivery, and
the speaker was loudly applauded at
different points. The convention then
took a recess until this afternoon.
