A DEADLY BLAST.

CIHCTSWATI, Jan. 19.—Specials from the cities near Ceredo, W. Va., tell the news of a terrific explosion of the Phoenix powder mills, destructive to life, Monday morning. The Phoenix mills are situated at Central City, near Ceredo, and about half way between Huntington, W. Va., and Catlettsburg, Ky. This is the third explosion at these mills within three months, and is by all odds the most destructive one.

A Terrible Shook.

At 8:80 o'clock Monday morning people in Ironton, 25 miles away, heard the terrible detonating roar. In Ceredo, 3 miles away, windows were broken and wares in the stores were shaken from the shelves. In Catlettsburg, nearly 10 miles away, the earth shook and people were alarmed. Everybody divined the cause and there was a rush from all directions to the scene. The local authorities organized and surrounded the ruins with a cordon of police, through which none of the thousands of spectators was permitted to pass.

Five Men Killed.

It has been ascertained that the first explosion was in the glazing mill, where there were ten tons of powder. Then successively the packing house, the magazine and the four wheel mills and lastly a car loaded with gunpowder went hurling in fiery fragments through the air. Not a vestige of the entire plant remains and the country for half a mile around is strewn with fragments of the buildings and of the bodies of the five men, victims of the disaster. It is not known definitely, but at the present writing it is believed that not less than thirtyfive tons of powder were burned in the several explosions.

The young husband immediately began a course of systematic cruelty towards his wife which resulted in her leaving him and thereafter steadfastly refusing to live with him. Mra Johnson returned to her mother's home in this city and Johnson came soon afterwards. CMonday he went to. the house twice and was refused admittance. In the evening, while Mrs. Laforce and her daughter were upstairs eating supper, Johnson entered the house and went up to their room. He chatted pleasantly and his mother-in-law started out ol the room to have his supper brought in. As soon as .she closed the door Johnson drew a revolver and shot his wife twice. The first shot struck her in the left temple and passed nearly through her head and the second one pierced her right wrist Johnson then placed the pistol to his right temple and shot his brains out.

DEATH IN FRIGHTFUL KORM. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20.—A little before 8 o'clock Tuesday evening a party ol twenty-two started out for an evening of enjoyment of the sleighing furnished by the recent heavy fall of snow. Of these nine are now lying in the morgue and nearly all the rest are in the hospital.

Tlii Victims.

Those dead are: James Connors, William Krone, Al Metter, Fred and Gustave Neuert, Andrew Stevenson, J. C. Sehufile. E. Von Hehren and an tmknown man. The injured: James Barrett. Dan Ilressart, Charles Frey, two unknown men and II. Wagner. Frey had both legs broken and one of the unknown men lost an arm.

Their Joy Changed to Grief. The party was made up of members of Cloverleaf Fi.sliing club, a social organization of white waiters in some of the leading restaurants. They wero all in one conveyance, a large fourhorse sleigh. Starting out about 7:45 p, m., after an evening's drive they went to the Delmonico, a roadhouse near Forest Park. Partaking of a lunch the party reassembled at 10:80 for the return home. The drive was commenced with gayety, but fifteen minutes later at the Sarah street crossing of the Wabash railway the accident occurred.

How It Occurred.

A Wabasii special train chartered' by a local Legion of Honor lodge was returning from an evening spent at Ferguson, 12 miles out The train, in charge of Engineer James Blanchfield, Fireman Murphy and Conductor Robert Dalton, wasmoving some 25 miles an hour, tender first. Owing to this last fact the engineer did not see the sleighing party until fairly upon them. The tender struck between the polo horses and sleigh, killing two of the horsw and throwing the occupants out of thfc sleigh in every direction.

Cnring Tor tha Victim*.

So great was the shotelt that two of the injured were afterwards found on top of the cab. The train was stopped within :i00 yards of the crossing and returned to the scene, where the Legion of Honor excursionists aided in gathering up the dead and wounded. By this time tho mounted police of the district were on haud, and taking charge they ordered tho dead and wounded placed upon the train. This was done and all taken to Union depot, whence the wounded wero taken to St Mary's infirmary and the dead to the morgue. It is believed that at least four of the wounded will die, but their condition is now so serious as to preclude measures of identification before tho surgeons arc through with them.
