FRIDAY, JANUARY 18. 1895.

THE Frankfort Crescent has a new dress which greatly improves its appearance.

OUR foreign commerce was $147,551,721 less in the year 1894 than in 1893. This don't look much like "capturing the markets of the world," which the Democrats promised to do.

THE flag should float from every school house in the State, and so thinks Representative Vanarsdall, who has introduced a bill in the House for this purpose. When presented it was applauded.

THE balance of power in the .United States Senate after March 4 will be in the hands of the Populists. That body will then stand politically as follows: Republicans 43. Democrats 37 and Populists S.

THE pension bureau has made a ruling that all veterans' widows must prove paupership before they can receive the pittance which is theirs by right. This ruling is a grave outrage upon the memory of those who gave their lives for the defense of their country.

GRKENCASTLE Banner-Times: Senator Sellar, of Montgomery and Putnam, has introduced into the Senate a bill to amend the acts prohibiting the obstruction of ditches also a bill to recover the lost section corners It is rumored that Senator Sellar will introduce a bill to recover the lost Democratic majority in this district. ..

THOSE $340,000,000 of greenbacks have withstood many attacks uuring the past twenty years. We rather think they will not be called in just yet, or at least until there is something else equally as good to take their plaae. The people are not ripe for any wild-cat money scheme that will have the tendency to wipe out the greenback currency.

THE established merchants in every town and city in the State, will thauk Senator Alexander, ot Franklin, for the introduction of a bill which is aimed it itinerent venders and peddlars. It is intended to shut out the alleged "fire sales" and "bankrupt stocks," that are moved from city to city. The punishment for operating such stores is a fine of not more than $50 or imprisonment not longer than fifty days.

DURING the year past the Democratic party has added $114,000,000 to the national debt. They have decreased the circulating medium in the hands of the people $40,000,000, or per capita, allowing for the increase in population, from $25.49 to $24.27. They have passed a tariff and revenue law, which has so far made an alarming deficit. They have brought about a run on the U. S. Treasury and now they have proposed a banking and currency scheme at which the country revolts.

DOUBLE TAXATION.

The people have long complained of the injustice of some features of our laws concerning taxation. Chief among «the complaints is that which operates as double taxation on the same valuation. To obviate this injustice Representative Newhouse, of Decatur, has introduced a bill in the House which provides that the person giv:ng the mortgage shall appear before the Auditor of the county in which he resides between April 1 and May 1, and make a sworn statement as to the amount of the mortgage indebtedness, and also the date and page where the mortgage is recorded. The Auditor shall place the amount in a column prepared for that purpose, and shall deduct the amount from the citizen's taxable property. No exemption can be had where such mortgage notes or credits are owned by persons in any other State. Another feature of the bill is the provision that taxes shall be paid upon the mortgage in the county in which the mortgage is taken. The owner of the land is held liable for the taxes on such notes, and it is provided that the treasurer's receipts for such credits shall be a partial credit on the mortgage notes.

A NEW CONSTITUTION. Indiana was admitted into the Union as a State in 1816, seventy-nine years ago. The first constitution remained as the organic law for thirty-six years, or until 1852, when the present constisution was adopted. That was fortythree years ago. That the State has outgrown its clothes we believe will be conceded by all. In fact, there has been greater progress in this State during the last forty-three years than

there was during the first thirty-six years. The conditions have entirely changed and are entirely different from that of forty-three, years ago. The present constitution has served the people well, but it is not in keeping with the needs and spirit of the times. This is shown in the efforts that have been made from time to time to secure amendments. Recognizing the general demand among the people Representative Howe, of Morgan, has introduced in the House a joint resolution providing for the calling of such a convention. The process is long and tedious and for this reason it is imperative that the resolution should be favorably acted upon by the present Legislature. The resolution must be pasted by this and the succeedingLegislatures, and must then be submitted to a vote of the people. The succeeding Legislature must then enact the necessary legislation, and the constitution adopted must be submitted to a vote of the people. If the matter is taken up and acted upon by the present General Assembly, and pushed promptly by each succeeding General Assembly, the new constitution could not go into effect before 1900. The people should be given an opportunity to say whether or not they want a new constitution, and the only method whereby they may give an expression is in the adoption of such a resolution as that now before the House.

A DEADLY BLAST.

Terriflo Explosion of Giant Powder at Butte, Mont.

SEVENTY-FIVE PERSONS ARE KILLED.

The City's Entire Fire Department Wiped Out of Existence—A Hundred or lUore Person* Injured—Worst DUunter of the Kind for Years.

BUTTE, Mont., Jan. 10.—A succession of explosions of giant powder at midnight wiped out of existence the entire fire department, killing at least sev-enty-five men. The explosions occurred in the Montana Central railway yards, in which the powder was stored in cars. Fire broke out at 10:05 Tuesday night in the Royal Milling company's warehouse and spread to the Kenyon-Cornell warehouse, in which were stored several carloads of giant powder. While firemen were fighting the fire and closing around the cars, which had caught, a terrific explosion occurred and killed every fireman save two. One of these was standing behind the hosecart horses and the other was at a water hydrant several hundred feet away.

Many Mangled Bodies Picked Up. So far between fifty and sixty mangled bodies have been recovered and more are being picked up on all sides. The firemen who had escaped immediately rallied and were beginning another attack when a second explosion, more violent than the first, took place.

The people in the vicinity were mowed down as with a great scythe and the streets for half a block around looked like a great battlefield. Debris was thrown high in the air, coming down half a mile away. Many people on the streets in the center of the city were thus injured. A few of the remaining firemen were gathering themselves together and attempting to escape to a place of safety when the third and last explosion occurred. This, too, killed and injured many people.

Shakos Like an Earthquakes. There were several cars of the powder and all of them exploded. The whole heavens were lighted up and the city shook as if an earthquake was in progress. Immediately after the first explosion the entire hospital corps and police force were summoned, and many of the detachments of these companies are among the killed p.nd injured in the subsequent explosions. Every house for blocks around has been turned into an impromptu hospital.

The scene is terrifying, and wagons are still taking dead bodies from the sceve of the explosion to various undertalcing establishments and the woundeij to their homes and hospitals. The latter are all full.

List, of the Dead Seventy-Five. The full list of the dead possibly will reach seventv-flve, and the damage to property will be more than 61.000,000. In all three carloads of powder exploded, one of which was stored in the Butte Hardware company's warehouse, which adjoined the Kenyon-Cor-nell warehouse. Large pieces of iron were thrown for miles. Several bodies were hurled along distance and picked up unrecognizable masses of flesh. It is estimated ttiat 100 additional persons were injured, several of whom died after being taken to the hospitals.

Hailstorm of Shattered Glass. The effects of the explosion apart from the scene itself were felt throughout the entire city. The stanchest buildings were shaken to their foundations and many were so weakened in their support as to be dangerous to habitation until repairs can be made. Windows were shattered and the shower of glass that poured forth into the streets was like some novel hailstorm.

The scene of the tragedy was soon surrounded by a dense mass of people. All seemed to be panic stricken by the extent of the terror, and few were able at first to become-sufficiently composed to render practical assistance.

Strewn about in an awful confusion of death lay the torn and mangled bodies of men and horses. Interspersed in the frightful pyre were some to whom life still remained and whose cries and moans made the midnight terrible.

Han Enough of Aid.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 16.—All free billing east of the Missouri river for the benefit of Nebraska drought sufferers was declared off Tuesday by the Burlington and the Rock Island railroads. This action comes as a result of heavy shipments of this nature during the week, and the announcement by the state relief commission that sufficient provisions were on hand to last for twenty days. Rev. L. P. Ludden, manager of the relief work, thinks that with the outside assistance already tendered the state can take care of its poor.

FREE SILVER MUST COME.

So Declared Senator Hill In a Letter Writ* ten Two Years Ago. NEW YORK, Jan. 17.—A letter from Senator David B. Hill, of New York, will be published here to-day which will attract considerable attention as bearing upon the campaign of 189(5. In it he declares that the free coinage of silver as well as gold "must be held out as the goal which the country must ultimately reach." The letter was written nearly two years ago, just prior to the memorable extra session of 1893, to Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, who gives it to the public with the consent of Senator Hill, obtained somo time ago. The letter bears date of July 13, 1893. "I am," the senator says, "in favor of bimetallism as the issue of the future." He is for free coinage under an international agreement, if possible, and if not possible, then for independent bimetallism. He says: "I do not believe in the Bland bill or any other measure whioh guarantees anything less than unrestricted coinage for gold and sliver alike as pledged in the democratic national platform. We should continue to hold out free coinage as the goal which the country must ultimately reach."

Senator Hill expresses himself as not in favor of the federel tax on state bank issues, but fears the consequences of repeal of the tax, as he does "not like such wildcat currency and never did." He fears such an experiment will not be a success and advises that this issue be not mined up with the legal-tender currency question.

The senator, on the subject of tarifl reform, expresses confidence of the passage of whatever bills the treasury department might recommend. "We must make a little tariff reform go a great way," he says.

DECLARED THE STRIKE OFF.

Two of the Brooklyn Street-Car Line! Ready to Kesumo Business. BROOKLYN, Jan. 17.—The third day of the battle between the trolley companies and their employes resulted in a slight advantage for the companies. Three lines of the forty-eight tied up were operated under police protection. but the ranks of the strikers are still intact. Late in the day the striking motormen and conductors laid certain propositions before the state board of arbitration which may result in a settlement of the strike by compromise. Pending such an outcome there was a truce in hostilities and rioting was not resorted tc Wednesday.

The strike was declared off on the DeKalb and Franklin avenue trolley lines this morning. These lines constitute what is known as the Brooklyn City & Newtown Railway company, Col. John M. Partridge, president. The settlement was brought about through the agency of Mayor Schieren and State Arbitration Commissioner Keenly. Col. Partridge says that this is practicallj' a backdown on the part of the men, as he has conceded no pertinent points.

CUMBERLAND TO HANG.

The Murderer of Throe Men to He Kxecutofi at Fort Madison, la. DES MOINKS, la., Jan. 17.—Gov. .hicksen has signed the warrant for the execution of the death sentence upon J. K. Cumberland, who was convicted of murder in Shelby county, la., in 1891. He killed two men and buried their bodies, the crime not being discovered for several months. Cumberland fled from the scene and was afterward arrested in Missouri, whereupon he confessed and was sentenced to be hanged February 10, 1893. Stay of execution was caused by appeal to the supreme court, the decision of the lower court being affirmed in May, 1891. The petition for rehearing was overruled by the supreme court last October. The governor now fixes the dute of execution' at February 8, 1895, at the penitentiary at Fort Madison.

KILLED HIS BROTHER.

A Tennesseean Takes His Brother's Life in SeJf-Iefeiiae. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 17.—I. N. Williamson shot and killed his brother William near Fayettcville Wednesday. The brothers have been on bad terms for some time and William Williamson returned from Alabama a few days ago with the avowed intention of killing his brother. He called at the home of the latter and induced him to come out of the house. He attempted to draw a pistol, but the weapon caught in his pocket, and before he could draw his revolver his brother sent a bullet through his heart, The perpetrator of the deed gave himself up.

HORROR'S REVEL.

Frightful Soenes Follow the Awful Explosion at Butte, Mont.

THE EARTH STREWN WITH VICTIMS.

The Death List Will Reach Sixty or More —The Fire Department Loses Horses, Engines and All But Three of Its

Members—An Inquiry Beffun.

BUTTK, Mont., Jan. 17.—This town is just beginning to recover from the stupor iuto which it was thrown by the overwhelming calamity of Tuesday night. Up to daylight Wednesday morning little or nothing could be learned with accuracy as to the full extent of the disaster, and even yet it is impossible to give complete lists of the killed and wounded. Many of the former were so mangled and dismembered that identification is impossible, while the wounded are distributed throughout the city in private residences so that a complete census cannot be made. Enough is known, however, to warrant statements that the death roll will reach sixty at least, while the injured number about fifty, and damage to property will be more than $1,000,000. The excess of the killed over the wounded is due to the tcrrific force of the explosions—three in number— which mercifully killed the victims outright instead of maiming them, and which in many cases swept completely out of existence human bodies and substantial buildings.

Horrible Fifteen Minutes.

It all occurred in fifteen minutes, the most horrible quarter of an hour in Butte's history. The vicinity of the disaster presented more the appearance of a field of battle than anything else. The dead were strewn everywhere and the cries and groans of the injured and dying filled the air. Blood and brains were scattered about. All around were dismembered legs, arms and pieces of fiesh and entrails. It was sickening. Between the Northern Pacific and Great Northern depots, a space of 300 feet, the ground was literally covered with parts of human beings and with the dead and injured. The scene was. one of utter and absolute destruction. The houses in the vicinity were as thoroughly wrecked as if a cyclone had passed through them. One of the rescuing corps gathered twenty-seven dead bodies in one pile. Eight were in another. Two and three in other piles. The rescuers pulled some of the bodies out still quivering. Shapeless trunks quivered and died in the arms of the living. l'orty-Seven Bodies Found.

At 10 o'clock Wednesday forenoon the known number of dead was fortyseven. This list will undoubtedly be increased when the debris of the explosion is removed, as it is almost certain that bodies lie hidden in the ruins of the demolished warehouse. Of the dead thus far recovered twenty-six have been identified either wholly or partially. In some cases the identification has been by articles of clothing or jewelry, the bodies being defaced and blackened so as to render personal identification impossible. It is not impossible that in some cases mistakes have been made, but in general there is little doubt as to the identity of the bodies. Some of the bodies, or portions of the bodies, will never be identified, because of the frightful mangling they have undergone. Headless trunks without a vestige of clothing adhering to them, dismembered limbs and pieces of flesh are in some cases all that is left.

Three Firemen Survive.

Only three firemen present at the scene of the fire escaped being killed. Chief Cameron was blown to atoms, and the only thing found of him was his belt attached to a charred portion of his body. The firemen who escaped were Dave Moses, Dave MeUee and J. H. Flannery.

Union Funeral Services.

The dead are now distributed among the various undertaking establishments, but all will be collected in one place so that identification may be facilitated. No arrangements have been made for the funeral, but it will be a public affair and union services will be held by the clergymen of all denominations. The families of the firemen and policemen who died in the performance of their duty will be taken care of by the city. Public subscriptions will be started for the relief of others.

Intense Popular Indignation.

There is the greatest popular indignation over the storage of nitroglycerine, giaiit powder and rack-a-rock in the heart of the city, which is responsible for Tuesday night's horror. An investigation will be instituted to discover who is responsible, and if it is found that any public officials are to blame for the violation of the city ordinances they will find this climate too warm for them. On the other hand, if the mercantile firms who owned the explosives are found to have violated the law deliberately tfley will suffer financially and otherwise. The people are thoroughly aroused over the catastrophe and will make some one answer for

Awful Force of Explosion.

From all that can be learned the total amount of explosives that went up in the three explosions was nearly thirty tons—enough to wipe out the state of Rhode Island. There were twenty ton6 of giant powder alone that went up in one blast.
