THE POKER POPPED.
A Powder Explosion Wrecks Thragu at the Bobbins House This Monuug. Some days ago the cook of the Robbins House picked up in the coal shed what appeared to be a piece of gas pipe turned to a point at one end to make a poker. It looked like a funny poker and he accordingly took it to the kitchen and utilized it as such. It was taken into the water closet a day or so later and was used to poker the fire there. Charley Rossiter poked the fire with it several times and everybody voted it a great find and took delight in poking the fire whenever they passed along. This morning Fred Mills, the night clerk, and Bob Thomas, the colored porter, were in the room and Fred seizing the poktr began punching the fire with a right good will. He was just giving the 13lh punch when there wi:sa tremendous explosion which shook the whole house. The people in the ollice ran into the wash room and beheld Fred Mills rushing out of the water closet holding a revolver in his hand while Jake Joel crouched in terror in one corner of the wash room where he had been combing his imperial whiskers when the explosion occurred. Bob Thomas Bat dazed in the water closet covered with soot and gasping "I never done it!" Mills fell and declared his revolver had accidentally gone off and shot him in the knee. His pantaloons were torn to shreds, and blood streamed down his leg profnsely. He wns picked up and carried to his room where Drs-
Taylor and Gott dressed his wounds. It was found that three sharp fragments of iron, presumably pieces of stove, had shattered his knee bones making an ugly wound which will probably stiffen the member for life. In the water closet everything was wrecked, the windows had been blown out, the stove broken to fragments and soot covered everything. Bob Thomas, the colored boy, had a bad cut on the side of his head and it appears a wonder that both he and Mills were not killed. It seems that the cause of the explosion was that poker. It was not a poker it all but a bomb lance such as are used by the whale hunters on the sea. How it came there is explained by D. W. Cox. Last year when the Ben Hur Tableaux Co. was in the East it stopped some time at New Bedford, Mass., at one time the great whaling center on the coast. When the whaling industry was transferred to the Pacific NewBedford's occupation was gone and every old junk shop in the town contains relics of the by gone traffic. Air. Cox secured one of the great guns and several of the bomb lances. These lances are about two feet long and resemble a piece of gas pipe sharpened at one end. They are loaded with powder, 6hot into the whale and explode from a fuse, causing the animal's death. None of the lances Mr. Cox brought home were loaded but Milt Burk brought home several which lay around Music Hall for awhile with the company's effects. One of these was in some manner left loaded several years ago and was finally thrown into the back yard of the Robbins House, where the cook rejoiced to find it as a poker.
Pleasant ^Entertainment.
Last evening Mr. Ed Tucker gave a most pleasant part at his home on west Market street in honor of his cousin, Miss Mucie Letller of Muncie. He was assisted by Misa Blanche Tucker, of Franklin.

THE OCEAN'S EBB AND FLOW.
That is the cry of the victims of the sea. On and on the waves are driven, further and further they encroach on the land, and the feet of the mighty body can be heard scraping for foothold on the smooth, shifting pebbles. Only another incoming wave and escape is theft-s —but it is just too late the reacted undertow sets in and you hear their bony feet slip from under them and back they are carried, the sea holding them tightly in its arms, exhausted captives.
Then look when the tide has run far out and see the prints of their feet and you will know why the sea ebbs and flows.

Accounted for In a Molt Manner. Do you know why the sea ebbs and flows? 'Tis thus, says the New York Ilerald: The army of drowned twice daily gather their forces at the bottom of the deep and march toward the four points of the compass to lay their weary bones on earth and escape from their watery tomb. You can hear their tramping—they call it sea moaning—and see the waves being pushed on before them in great water hills, which dash against each other in their furious flight from the escaping host and when they break and hurl clouds of snow-white spray high in air it is caused "by the lashing from the swinging, tony arms of the army drowned. And did you ever listen to the weird noise as these mountains of water leap up on each other?
