The governor of the province, the chief
municipal officers and many leaning
citizens were engaged in the work of
subduing the flames when the fire
reached the terrible cargo and with a
deafening roar it exploded, scattenug
death, fire aud destruction on every
side. Wharves, shipping and neighbor
ing houses were torn to fragrants. Fire
at once broke out lu the ruins of the
shatterred buildings and spread to
those still stundlng with great rapidity,
and ns per dispatch sent, threatened de

almost as soon as the session opened.

More Testimony Taken on Coroner's
Inquest The Jury's Report.
Poiitkand. Nov.4. Tue liody which
embraced the corpse of Charles Albee
Is supposed to bo that of the missing
man Peterson, alleged to have been ou
the car when it made lis disastrous
plunge. WhoPeterson Is no one seems
to kuow. Coroner Hughes, oven, can
not give any information regarding
him; he does not know oven who re
ported Peterson as belug missing.
The remains of Charley were accom
panied to the morgue by the sorrowing
father, who seems almost overcome
with the loss he sustained. The boy'a
face bore no trace of suffering, but It
was marked rather by a serene placid
ity, as if the unfortunate child hid
crmm in n nleasaut dreamless Bleep.
After tbo coroner's Jury yesterday
afternoon had visited the i-ast Biae
scene of the Madison-street bridge ac
cident, thoy resumed examining wit
nesses lu tho coroner's office adjoining
t ho morgue.

The "dean of tbo legations," out at
tho atato prison is old mau Woddlo,
who comnleted ilftoon long, wojry
years or penal Bervltudolat Wednasday,
the first dav of this montb of jNovem
ber. Ho waa already au old man when
ho killed a man and attempted the life
or a woman un In Union. Tho latter
ho wanted to marry: but the former
irulnlt.cr her preference, married her.
Weddlo waa aotlng agent for Wells,
Fargo & Co., and waa accounted an un
usually well road man and a phenom
enal bookkeeper. Though approaching
tho winter of lifetime, tho twin Urea or
love and rovongo ruged In his blood,
and.dlsappolntedln tho ono Uo wreaked
tbo other. Ho waa Bontonced to prison
for llfo.
After pomo tluio In tho ponltontlary
bo waa removed to tho Insauo asylum,
where ho romalned under treatment for
fivo years, and was then taken back to
tbo Iron coll and dreary round of prison
existence. Ai ho Uai made a good
record, aud oomo within tho provision
that a lire convlot la a proper subject for
rtxnnutlvo olomenoy. his cwa will bo
irought before Ills Excellency Govern
ir Pennoyer. He Uai not yet m .do ap
plication for a pardon, but it Is uudor
.tnntl that bo will shortly do so.
Commenting on Ills coh yeitorday,
nnthnr "lifer" remarked: "It's well
enough to let the old man iro,but tilings
como around nueorly. Since I Uave
been hero, ouo man came lu to do lire
for murder, and waa pardoned out In
ix years; Weddle shot a man and tried
to alioot a woman, aud he watila to go
now? but I. who killed a man lu my
own house, purely In BoK-doronso will ,
probably nover again sea the outsldo of

"Klrmot." the devout waiiommeiau
would aay, and fold his hand and bow

Tlie particular preparation had beeu
made for a feast, or departure made
from tho regular bill of fare, but tlie
supper waa most tborouxUly enjoyed
by tUo ynuugstera. No doubt the aad

Ofoourse, tho state canuot, being ad

market lu competition with the oiuaan
farmer; and. It would ba the height or
folly to ralso crops for tho fun of it or
to let the produce rot and go to waste,
so that both experience und genius are
requisite in regulating the agricultural
efforts at tho prison, and just now both
seem to bo brought luto play.
On Thursday oveulng last the first

It 1b pretty certain that tbla year's cele
