's EXPLOSION? AT WAVLLAi3D.

Powder Kegs Go Off in Dilltnan's Hardwaie Store With Disastrous Results. pcrhil to Th Joimuil.

WAVETJ.YND, July 2(3.—About half past 12 o'clock to-day a tire ia the room occupied by George Dilluonn caused un explosion of several kegs of powder. The entire building was wreckel and the loss is unknown. The stock of goods consisted of hardware, stoves, tinware, queensware and glassware. The fire was under control before it caused much damage. The insurance probably covers the loss. J. R. Canine's grocery two doors south was badly shaken by the explosion and considerable damage was done to the stock. The windows were brokan out of btrldings on the opposite side of the street. No one happed to be in the building at the time of the explosion and no one was injured. The origin of the fire is unknown,

A FATAL NAP.

A Bis Four Brakeman Horribly Mashed Up Last ISie-ht, Tuesday just beyond Jamestown a freight train was delayed for some cause and the conductor sent Charles Osborn, a brakeman, back some distance to flag the west bound passenger train which was soon due. Osborn, who was vary tired, took his lantern and started back the track. It is supposed that he sat down to await the passenger train end, being worn out by heat and work, fell aBleep. At any rate he was struck while sitting or lying on the track, by the passenger train which came along. The train was stopped and the poor fellow was picked up from the ditch where he had been knocked. Dr. Ensminger was wired from Jamestown and met the train at the Plum street station. He found that Osborn had had the top of his head crushed in and from the gap ping hole his brains were oozing out. His injuries were promounced fatal and in lieu of a better place the poor fellow was taken to McClure & Scott's undertaking establishment to moan hie life away on a stretcher. Wednesday a man was sent by the road to take off Osborn'B shoes, wash his face and fan him until he died. The boy's mother aud step father, Fielden Touey and wife, of Jamestown, arrived Wednesday and were taken to the undertaker's ohop, where the iujured man lay. Hid wife arrived from Uibaua this afternoon. The women took the matter greatly to heart and the scenes at the undnrtaker's shop were distressing The young man, who was very powerful, had frequent convulsions during the morning and had to be held. About noon he tore his trousers off at one wrench and threw them across the room.

The proprietors of the establishment did not want the mau taken there while he was still alive and consented only becauee there was no other place open. There is something horribly and ludicrously grotesque in taking a man to an undertaker's shop to wait a day or so for death to come. It is a forcible argument for the founding of some small hospital where such oases can be properly cared for. It'B pretty tough for a fellow to have tc pass the last few hours of life on a stretcher in the back room of an undertaker's shop. How does it strike vou?

drop Notes.

Wheat is turning out an average of about 12 to 15 bushels per acre in the west and north parts of the county and ts selling at 55 cents per bushel along the Clover Leaf railroad.

Oats are being threshed already and are averaging about 40 bushels per acre and are selling freely at 20 cents per bushel on same road.

Wheat is grading No. 2, weighing from 58 *o 60 pounds. Oats well filled and of fine quality.

The crops of wheat and oats are abont half threshed, and the straw is being Btaeked in order and its fine quality will go a long way to supply the deficiency in the hay crop.

Corn on black loam land is not yet badly injured by drouth. Time eiiough for big ears yet.

The Contract Awarded.

After an end of scwabling and bad blood the contract was awarcledWednesday for the alone work on the new iron bridge on the Covington road. B. F. Layne was the happy recipient and the stone work will cost about $3,000. He receives $2.75 per cubic yard for the masonry, 8900 for coping, $900 for new stone, $.20 for dry excavation. $.45 for wet excavation, and $.50 for the removal of old stone. Work will be begun at ODce.

Hurt in a Runaway.

David Campbell, a stock dealer living sonthwest of town, was driving with George Munns when the horse became unmanageable and ran away. Both occupants were thrown out but Campbell only was hurt. He was bumped against the fence and badly bruised about the head, remaining unconscious for some time. He was able to be out Thursday however.

THE PEOPLE SPLAE.

Tuoy Kick Vigorously on the MOD on Sta tiou nod Humbly Petition for a New One,

Mayor Bamlel had an idea that the best way to interest the Monon oilicials in a new station for this point was to let them know directly that we want one and want it bad. Consequently he framed a petition and canvassed for signers. Only one man refused to attach his name to the paper. We sincerely hope that the petition will accomplish its purpose. It reads as follows: To the ojflieials of the L. iV. A. & C.

Raihvay: GENTLEMEN—We, the undersigned citizens and business men of Crawfordsville, would respeotfully petition you to have erected at this place a new passenger depot. The present structure is a disgiace to the railroad and the city, and we believe as citizens and patrons of your road we should receive better treatment at your hands than is afforded in the old trap now in use as a passenger waiting room.

Morrison No Better.

Spivitil to "lie Journal. NEW HOPS, July 27.—Robert Morrison, who had his head crushed by a horse falling upon him, was removed from George Miller's yesterday evening to the home of his father. He is no better 'and is unconscious, as he has been since lie vas hurt. The family has had many incidents. The father had his head crushed once and lost his hearing as a result. His son, John, was killed a few ye'irn ago by a tree falling upon him during storm as he was driving along the ruiid.

Lovely Miss Largent.

There is considerable speculation out in Madison township as to what will be the matrimonial future of the blooming and beautiful daughter of Frank Largent. Eimer Carmen is selling pools on the isnue aud offers odds of five to the field that she won't have any. It will not be from a lack of suitors, however, as she has more of them than some girls havrt hair pins and front teeth. It appears, however, that their amorous sighs give Mr. Largent a fifty carat pain and ha meets their coy advances with thd traditional stuffed club.

MiBs Largent works at the home of David Thewlis and thither the love sick swains are wont to repair to tell their respective tales of woe. It always happens that some jealous lover will apprise Frank of the rival's presence, and he mounting his old gray mare, which was the property of the late Chnrlemange, will go galloping down through the mud and dust to the scene of action like a turkey buzzard after a sick lamb. He has clubbed and stoned off enough suitors during the last two months to supply all the eligible girls in Madison township and have a few left for poor old Coal Creek. The fact that there ia a premium on the bait seems to tempt all the young suckers in the vioinity to try a whirl at winning the love of the sweet girl The most persistant, however, are Jim MCCHII, of Gas City, and George Wheeler, of Madison township. These chaps have enough club bruises on their respective anatomies to insure them fortunes as dime museum freaks. Jim works in a brick yard up in Gas City and C.B he moulds the festive brink he thinks of his lady love and sighs like the engine of a steam shovel. When he receives hie pay on Saturday he buys a pack of candy and comes hustling down to Madison to get clubbed again.

George Wheeler also has suffered many things for love's sake and was even unmercifully whacked not long ago by Mrs. Thewlis who cannot brook the idea of parting with her model girl. Miss Largent is a prize evidently and the other girls, whom no one is trying to steal, are getting as jealous as mud hens among peacocks. The courting of Miss Largent grows more exciting every day.

Quite a Blaze.

There was quite a blaze four miles west of town on Al Snyder's farm Tuesday. The thresher of George Fuller was at work and took fire from the engine. The

location in

the vilest portion of the city makes it absolutely dangerous for strangers who are compelled to go there after night and a more suitable location should be secured. We beg of you to take immediate action in this mattes and give UB a new depot before winter and one that will be a credit to the city and to the road. We believe that the business given the Monon by the people of the city juotifies us in making this appeal and we further believe that a new depot would add further to the businees of the road in and out of the city.

HORRIBLY CRUSHED.

Robert Morrison, of Hew Ross, Falls Under His Horse. Wired to the Journal.

NEW ROSS, July 26—This morning Rpbert Morrison, who lives two miles southwest of this place, met with a bad if not fatal accident at Dan Myers' stock farm. Ho was driving cattle and his ho(rse etumbled and fell upon him, crushing his head in a frightful manner. Dr. Bronaugh was hastily dispatched to the place of accident. He found him unr-onscious and he is still so. He isf.'.iliy hurt and no hopes of his reCOVPI y. He is about 20 years old.

HICKS FOR AUGUST.

He Predicts a Month of Varied Weather

With all the Extremes.

On the 2nd and 3rd of August will center a reactionary wave of great warmth, resulting in severe storms within the period embraced between the 2nd and night of the 4th. At this time we will be nearing the oenter of the Venus EquiBox, and the phenomena will take on the characteristics so often defined as resulting from that disturber. Excessive heat is apt to end in lightning, thunder, hail and wind, and a sudden change to abnormally cool on the very heels of great heat. The storm period, 8th to 12th, promisee the most active and dangerous storms of the month. There is reason to apprehend violence in the elements between the 8th and 12th. The heat will become intense before the stormB appear, the barometer will be depressed generally, reaching phenomenal "lows" at some points, and cloud formations will be black and ominous. Heavy hail, thunder and wind may be expected, and cloudbursts are sure to result here and there. Such are the results ordinarily following such a combination of causes but there are exceptional cases, when instead of the heut breaking into storms of rain, hail, wind and thunder, the wurmth is prolonged, growing more and more oppressive, the life element in the atmosphereeeems exhausted, and the sky assumes a gray to brassy aspect, an incubus seeming to fasten up all nature, until violent earthquake phenomena break the spell and allow the elements to return to 1 heir normal condition. If perchance, this particular period should take this turn, wo cull upon the people and press everywhere to note carefully whether or not it terminates after the manner we have indicated. Whether it ends in storms or seismic perturbations, there will be sud den revalsions from great heat to very cool, with probabilities of temperature falling almost or quite to the frost line in northern regions—say from 11th to 14th. About the 15th, reactionary temperature with southerly winds will most likely result in another spell of storminess, and be followed by another northwesterly inrush of cool air.

on the morning of the 19th, in connection with the prevailing Venus electric strain, is very apt to produce gales and thunder squalls within 24 honra of 6 p. m. on that date. Another series of disturbance for two or three days will be natural during this period, but the barometer, wind currents and temperature will plainly announce when the storm elements have been reduced to the normal—the wind coming cool and steadily from the west and north. After these disturbances there will be a close approach to the frost line in the north. Pleasant days and very cool nights will follow up to rewMornry f»hnn"es and storniH on and touching the 26th and 27th. August ends with the first stages of a storm period coming into action— that is, barometer will be falling in the west, with temperature rising in advance of it, fed by the southerly air currents that transport moisture, heat and electrio force, from the equatorial regions.

The Case of Charles OsbornCharles Osborn, the yoang man injured on the Big Four Tuesday night, was alive Wednesday at sundown so a moving wagon was chartered and he was removed from the undertaker's shop, where he had laid on a stretcher since the night'before surrounded by rows of coifinB, cooling boards, barrels of embalming lluid and the other pleasing and comfortable paraphernalia of a death shop. He was taken to the home of Wm. M. Snyder, next door to Bandel's tombstone establishment. Here he was cared for in the best manner possible and his Bufferings alleviated as much aB possible. Thursday he was resting somewhat easier although no hopes wore entertained of his recovery.

Hie grandfathers wealthy farmer,lived within a half a mile of where he was hurt and his parents lived in Jamestown through which the train carrying his mutilated body passed.

At 3 o'clock Thursday Osborn was still alive although no hopes were entertained of his ultimate recovery. When his crushed skull iB touched more than lightly he passes into convulsions. The injured man is said to be a member of the K. of P.
