There is information in the
following from the New York
Tima, not generally possessed: "The Albany Evening Journal ern in saying that there is a constitutional provision that the President and Vice President must belong to different States. The only restriction in that respect u that a State's Electors, ia voting for a President and Vice President, shall not vote for inhabitants of the same State with themselves for both. If the persons efaesen electors of the other States, for example, wish to choose the next President and the next Vice President from this State, there is no constitutional prohibition against their doing so, but the Electors of this State can vote for $ut oae of tbesw."
From the Courier's account tract: .
On a hill, one mile east of
EUettsville, overlooking the ex
tensive quarries of the Matthews
and Ferry Brothers, stood the
old homestead of the elder Mat
thews. Around on the grassy hillsides were the tenant houses of the sturdy quarry men, and in front of the old Matthews heme
were the offices and buildings
for sawing stone: while a little
way to the Northeast was the
elegant stene mansion of the
widow Matthews. Little did the iadustrie8 inhabitants of that locality think, when the sun rose
in its beauty, shedding its geni
al rays over hill and valley, on on test Tuesday morning, that in a short while it would shine on
a scene of horror and death. A few minutes after 6 o'clock, a fire originated from a defective flue, in tha old Mathews building. It was occupied by Jack Carmen and family who soon gave the alarm. When his neighbors headed by Mr. Peter T. Matthews, rushed to the place, and endeavored to save what they could, twenty five men and boys were near the burning building. In the twinkling of an eye, a horribleeatastrophe occurred. Some forgotten - dynamite cartridges that were in an old iron kettle,in the smoke house, exploded with a terrific reporu The iron ket
tle was broken in thousands of
fragments and hurled with fatal effect in the direction of the doomed people. One man was killed and thirteen wounded. Hie following is the list with the nature of the injuries: Wm. Williams, struck with a piece ef the metal at the the outer edge ef the left eye, knocking the eye out of its socket onts the cheek bene, the metal penetrating the brain left wing of the nose and part ef the upper lip torn away. Died in 20 minutes. Peter T. Matthews, dangerously wounded in the right thigh groin and chest Will certainly prove fatal. Elbert George Wickens, a lad of 14 years, born in London,
England, penetrating fracture of
the occipital bone. In a very
critical condition. Alonzo Mattingly, seven terrible wounds in the back, and one in the arm. In a dangerous condition. Ed. Moberly, the only support of a widowed mother, eompound fracture of the right frontal bone, the brains oozing from the wound. Cannot recover. Thomas Freeman, a large
wound in the right shoulder
blade, right arm paralyzed. Case doubtful. Lawrence Scully, severely wounded in the neck, shoulder, arm and leg. Abe Spires, badly wounded in leg and back.
Wm. Matsen, wounded in left arm and shoulder, and right
thigh. Ed. Faulkner, three slight wounds. Wm. Wampler, wounded in arm and breast. Not serious. Grant Galloway, wound in foot. Fred Matthews, wounded in calf of right leg. Mat. Wickens, father of the wounded boy, was struck in the chest and knocked down by ;i piece of board; VJjile tjje others
engaged at the fire though not
injured were prostrated by the
shook at the time.
Telegrams were sent to
Bloemingten and Gosport for sergeons, and Drs. McPheeters,
Maxwell, jr., Weir, Axtell and
Rogers responded to the call
avingon the morning ifreight
for the scene of the fatal accident. Arriving there they found Drs. Harris, Whitted and Mun-
son, ot tfllettsville ana urs. Smith and Carlton, of Gosport The sight was indeed sickening, and reminded one ef a field hospital after an engagement, the dead and wounded lay scattered
over the grassy slope in the rear of the smoking ruins. Mr. George Matson's house, two hundred yards farther on, was converted into a hospital, where part of the wounded were conveyed, while the others, with the dead body of poor Williams, (he
who fought m the gallant bth
Ind. Vol-) were transported on
stretchers to the hemes in the vicinity. Dr. McPheeters was
surprised to learn that there
was not a drop of liquer in El
lettsville and telegraphed back to Hiram Lindley to send the
best Cognac brandy, immediate
ly. Dr. John E. Harris went up
en the passenger train, taking what stimulants were needed.
The injured men bad all the
skillful attention that oould be
given, and were doing as well
as could be expected.
Late Tuesday night word was received
in Bloomington that P. T. Matthews, seni
or proprietor of the JSUettsviue steam
Stone Works, died that evening at 8
o'clock. A delegation of Hasons and the
Bloomineton Post G. A. It. took the noon
train on Wednesday for the purpose of
narticipatiur in the funerals of Mr. Mat
thews and William Williams, both of
whom were members of those orders
Upon arriving at EUettsville we found business almost entirely suspended, and it
appeared as if there had been a death in every family. Nothing but the terrible calamity was thought of or talked of.
Never before had any locality in Monroe
county been so terribly stricken so com
pletely overwhelmed with sorrow and des
pair, THE TVSERAVB,
The funeral of William Williams was
held at the Baptist Church at 1 o'clock
The principal portion of the Bad cortege
consisted of the Ellettsviueand Blooming.
ineton Posts of the 6. A- It., with a band
of music and drum corps at the head
Many people were unable to gain admis
sion to the church. The services were
begun with the beautiful and impressive
service of the G. A. It. The honorable war
record of the dead comrade was read.
He was a member of Co. "B" 18th. Ind,
Ind. Vol., and enlisted in Green Co. This was the same regiment that Capt. Mart
Alexander and a number of other Bloom.
ington soldiers belonged to. After read inz the record, the Chaplain of the Bloom
ington Post, W. H. Jones, read selections
of psalms which were responded to by
comrades, and three rolls of the drum
followed each resoonse. Rev. J. A. Bow
er read a selection of scripture, and Eld
Carpenter preached an appropriate and imoressive sermon. The opening hymn
was, "I will sing you a song of a beautiful land-" After the services, the remains were conducted to the cemetery where
they were buried with Grand Army cere
monies. The deceased leaves a wife and
two children.
FETER T. MATTHEWS.
The funeral of Mr. Matthews did not take place until after the arrival of the evening train South, in order to await the arrival of a brother from Illinois. This was much regretted by a number of warm friends from Bloomington who were compelled to take the train for home. A number of tie members of the G. A. K. remained, however, and the capacity of the church only kept every man, woman and child in EUettsville and for miles around from attending the services, which were held at the Baptist Church. A large concourse of stricken people followed the remains to the cemetery, where they were deposited in a stone vault that had been con&Uncted in the grave. The Grand Army boys of EUettsville were deeply ovenhelmed with grief as it was their much beloved Commander they were laying beneath the sod he who but a few short hours before was so full of hope, health, happiness and energy. The deceased suffered untold agonies np to the moment of his death. He was told that he could not long survive, and, calling his family around him, he bid them a long, last loving farewell. At 8 o'clock he passed away. Thus passed away, stricken down in the full bloom of a vigorous manhood, a citizen whose death will be severely felt by the community, and whose loss cannot soon be replaced. Since the death of his father, who was buried on May 29, 1883, exactly eleven months from the day the son died, Peter Matthews was at the head of a great enterprise whose reputation was not confined to a locality, or even a State. At a recent visit to Indianapolis he purchased a lot of mourning badges for his Post of GA. R. little thinking that at his own funeral they would first be worn. He was also very enthusiastic over a joint celebration of Decoration day here and at Ellcttaville, having no cause to think that on that day his own grave would be strewn with flowers. Ho was at the head of the movement to erect a stone wall around the cemetery. The work was completed, and soon after his own was among the graves enclosed by those walls. The deceased was 43 years of age, and leaves a wife and four children, whose cup of woe is filled to overflowing, and cannot soon be banished by the sympathies of thousands of warm hearted friends. P. T. Matthews was born in London England, July 8, 1840. In 1801 he enlist ed as drummer in the 19th. Ind. In Sep tember 1867, be married Sarah E., daughter o? Robert Stlmsoo, and the result of the union was four children, Ettle, Albert John and Charles. THE SCENE OP THE DISASTER. A Courier reporter visited the scene ot death and destruction again on Wednesday Nothing remained to tell the sad tale but a portion of the walls of the burnt building. Pieces of the deadly pot-ractal, and timber bearing marks of its deadly work bad all been carried away as relics of the great calamity. At the time of the fire, about twenty dynamite or giant powder cartldges were in an old iron dye-pot, banging iu the smoke-house. In touring down tbe house to save it from being burnt, the pot feil, striking the stones beneath, and the explosion followed. The pot with Its deadly contents had been placed there 1 eight months previous, and was forgotten. The cartridges had been ordered away from the quarries for safety. A VISIT TO THE raitmED. Fred Matthews, the funeral of whose brother was then tnking piece, nud a member of the firm af Matthews Brothers, was fouud retstiug easy, altuviifdi Ue had bowu jaSrriyj lauih.piiu Uom ik-i paices of
flying, missiles imbedded in the calf of
his leg. m. rauixner was able to be up, but it waa thought that it might yet bis necessary to amputate his arm. The boy, Ed. C. Moberly, was in a very dangerous
condition, brain ooziug out of his head. He
certainly cannot recover. Alonzo Mattingly was suffering much, and it was with great difficulty he breathed at all. He died the same night. Allle Wickens, a boy of only 13 years, was the next most seriously injured, and was considered in a dangerous condition. It is not probable
that he will recover. The remaining of the injured were resting well. The final result of this most terrible catastrophe
will be at least five deaths.
NOTES. Mr. P. T. Matthews had some time ago
given up the use of dynamite at his quarry and had a few remaining cartridges placed in the then unoccupied building. When
Sir. Uarman moved iu ha was lniormea
that the dynamite was in an old iron kettle in the smoke house and was cautioned to take them to the magazine. He neglected the matter, and during the fire the kettle was thrown from its position and exploded with the sad result.
EllettsvUle felt the force of the concus
sion very preceptibly.
The nylng pot metal penetrated an iron
bar three-eighths of an inch thick. The
apertures look as 11 they were cut wiw a cold chisel.
Boards and studding three inches thick
were cut completely through with flying
metal. EUettsville Citizen.
The boards on tha t moke-houie war
splintered up, and myriads of fragments
or tna pot passea tnrougn tnem witn i force that a larga gun wauM throw them.
Hundreds of boles were cut through a
twe-ineh scantling, that served as a brace
to tbe imoke-houe. An apple-tree stana-
ine 125 feet from thesmoke-bouse received
a fragment which wa embedded to tbe depth of an inch.
The explosives had been placed in tna
moke-house about 18 months ago by Fred Matthews, the ealy one about the works who used them in blasting. He re
moved from tbe ttuu a few days ago,
and when Mr. Cormaa moved in be dis
covered the cartridge!, aad asked George
Matsen waat to do wun tnem. jar. jsaisen told him te take them to the powderhouie, near the mill, but this be forgot
te do.
The fire was caused by a defective flue. But few of Mr. Gorman's goods were sav
ed.
A physician remarked to the Oitixen that be never saw just such wounds, and
that they were ef a class that physicians
could do but little with. He feared that
in a little time some ot the cases not new considered fatal, would prove to be very
serious.
When the explosion occurred our citi
zens were of the opinion that a fearful accident bad occurred, the jar being so great as to cause window panes to rattle
and houses to shake. The shock was dis
tinctly felt a distance of ten to fifteen
miles.
Our resident physicians arrived prompt
ly and dressed the wounded. Dr. cimitn,
of Gosport, and Drs.-Maxwell, jr., Axtell, Weir, McPheeters and Rogers, of Bloomington, arrived and assisted in caring for
the injured.
9 o'clock Friday morning Since the accident Eddie Moberly has
been in a comatose condition, and
at times arousing aud talking, knowing everybody around him.
He shows do evidence of suffering
It is now hoped that the frightful gash on his right temple was made by a glancing blow, and that the
metal is not in the head, in the
event of which he may recover. Alonzo Mattiogly aud Allie Wick
ens have gradually grown worse.
and their death is expected any hour. Thomas Freeman, whose
wounds were not at first considered
dangerous, is in a very serious coudition, with the chances against
him.
Abe Spires, another not at
first considered very dangerously
injured, has suffered very much
and is in a serious condition.
Lawrence Scully is doing very well with prospects for recovery.
E. E. Faulkner, Fred Matthews,

Fair Haven, Ck sn., has a case of poisoning by an ailanthus tree. A woman twenty years old has been attacked with an eruption on her head and face, which fat attributed to breathing the odor of the blossoms, and the doctor is satisfied as to the cause. As an experiment, a small shoot springing from the root of the tree had been broken off, and tha end rubbed on the wrist of a person, the spot touched not being larger than a toncent piece. The effect was to cause tho
hand and wrist to become badly swollen and very much inflamed, with a burning sensation, the skin being covered with vesicles in patches. The woman affected by the poison had been born on the premises, and had the same trouble every year when the tree was in flowei. She took the disorder by lying on the sofa near a window not fax from the tree. The eruption waa not accompa
nied by any feverish symptoms, such as loss of appetite or quickened pulsation. No effect appeared to be produced oa the brain. Ailanthus trees have bees planted in Englaod for 190 years and id France for 120 years. They were started in this country by a speculator 30 or 40 years ago, who sent packages of the seeds to every postmaster, giving him a
proportion of the packages for selling
the rest, and he realized about $5,000 by
the operation. Thus the trees were planted in every town in the United
States, under the attractive name of the
fride of Heaves.
Tbe Fate of the World. Richard A. Proctor in a recent
lecture said : The age of the earth is placed by some at five hundred millions of years, by others at one hundred million years: and still
others, of later time, among them
the Duke of Argyll, place it at ten
million years, .none place it lower than ten million, knowing what
processes have been gone through. Other planets go through the same process. The reason that other planets differ so much from the earth, is that they are in a so much
earlier or later stage of existence. The earth must become old, Newton surmised, although he could give no reason for it, that the earth would at one time lose all its water and become perfectly dry. Since then it has been found that Newton was correct. As the earth keeps cooling it will become porus ana great cavi
ties will be formed in the interior, which will take in the water. It is estimated that this process is now in progress, so far that the water diminishes at about the thickness of a sheet of writing paper each year. At this rate in 6,000,000 years the water will have sunk a mile, and in $15,000,000 years every trace of water will have di.ap?earrd from the face of the globe, 'he nitrogen and oxygen in the air are also diminishing all the time. It is in an inappreciable de-
grw, but the time will conic when
the air will be so thin that no creature we know of could breathe it and live the lime will come when the earth cannot support life. That will be the period of old age, then will come death.
Three Horses Abreast. A correspondent writing from Princeton, Iowa, on this subject says: "Put the odd horse in the middle, snap the inside line of each outside horse to the bit of the middle one. Now you have only to run a strap from the inside bit ring of each outside horse through the hame ring and turret of the middle horse and buckle it to the opposite line, and after it has been properly adjusted as to length, you can control 'each of the three horses as readily as if yon were using' only two. Never drive three horses abreast unless they are attached to a load or implement, as they are apt to swing out to one side and ?(t 'mixed up.'" Rural Ntw orier. A band of gypsies that has wintered at Springfield, Massachusetts, and is about to start out for the summer campaign, has a number ot neat and comfortable wagons. The largest oi these is called the "Gypsy Queen" and is intended fur Samuel Cooper who is at the head of the band. It is about ten feet long by six feet wide, is lighted by handsome colored glass windows aad is nicely curtained and cushioned. It is elegantly
