I.VCIDRNTS AND SCENES AT THE GROIN F)8

Fearful Sacrifices to the Spirit of Competition

'Prod the Indianapolis Journal, Saturday.] The heart sickens and the brain reels with the fearful tale of yesterday's hor ror. Four days of unexampled .pleasure and prosperity had attended tbe State Fair. In tho midst of the excitement and giddiness of tbe closing hours, without a moment's warning of its dread approach, Death, in most horrid shapes and with fantastic tortures, clasped its icy fingers around the whole scene of joyous pleasure, enveloping with it a deep and damning pall, such as has but seldom been drawn about even the most doomed locality. In the disordered brain of the poet we have been used to such sickening phantasms as the sudden arrest of the revel and tho dance by tho unwelcome approach of disaster and death we have read with baled breath and quivering lips of such scenes as Avondale, and yet have failed to feel their fullest terror for lack of personal apprehension. Yesterday tbe Pandora box of evil was opened for us, and in the twinkling of an eye, an arena of pleasure and mirth was metamorphosed into literal acres of death, of torture, and of terror.

THE EXPLOSION

It was after the battle. One o'clock yesterday afternoon was the hour assign ed for the trial of portable engines and saw mills, and into the competition several firms entered, among them Sinker & Co., engine builders, and Long, Joseph & Carter, sawyers. The teat bad been completed, and the victory, if a victory it is, had been won by the Sinker machine.— Seven minutes and a half of sawing had been done, with every part of the engine and mill strained to the utmost tension, after which the fires had been permitted to go down and the machines to rest. About three o'clock, Mr.

Sinker's foreman.

thought it advisable to saw up the logs on woundedj which we omit, as it appeared r»

hand, so as to clear up for "mo^al on the morrow. The engine was the task accomplished with the exception ol two "turns." The pit beneath the saw was filled with saw-dost, and a temporary rest was taken, to allow two colored he pers to clean it out. A large circle of interested lookers-on were gathered about the arena occupied by the machinery, while here and there over the grounds were scattered twelve or fifteen thousand neople. At a moment of undisturbed quiet, while the hum of the m*chinery was hushed and attention directed toward the ring, in which the fast trotting was about to commence, a noise iike tha explosion of a park of artillery saluted the ear and a concision of the earth a8 ot an earthquake sent a thrill of fear to the heart. A volume of steam, a blinding cloud of dust and smoke, the air filled

With debris of timber, of pieces of iron, of shreds cf clothing, parts of human beings, of groans sod of shrieks, men falling hither and thither, and ranks opening as if plowed through with grape and shrapnel, told the fearful tale of an explosion. The engine, a moment before a thing of beauty, obedient to tho touch of man, was torn and rent by a mighty convulsion its comeliness gone, its parts scattered to the four winds, hardly a joint left in integrity. That which in one second had been an implement of inSustry, in the next was turned into a gicklo of death, reaping and mowing its victims in a swath confined by no rule and measured by no regularity.

in consideration of which assist

ance Cole was to aid in Low's election as the successor of John Conness. The election of a Democratic Legislature, however, having interfered with this little arrangement, Cole reciprocates tbe favor by gettting Low the appointment as Minister to China. Thus "honors are easy" between these-two Pacific Statesmen Low, however, is a man of tolerably enlarged views, thoroughly acquainted with the business interests ol the country, and especially its relations with Asia, and will make a capable representative of the United States in China,

our Minister to the Court

of St. James, is a man of experience and prudence, and the country need not fear that he will rush into stormy collision with that Government, hoping to hasten the adjustment of our Alabama claims.— The English Government has admitted its liability—that is a great point gained in tho case. Tho English aro not a peopie to be hurried, or to be bullied into measures but having conceded the right to be indemnified, England cannot expose her honor to public criticism by long refusing to do what she admits to be her duty toward the United States.— Johnson, our late Minister, made himself ridiculous by his after-dinner speeches over the country while acting as Minister, and the authorities there were toaBting and feasting him in order to draw out of the leaby 'vessel all that was in him.— Hut, fortunately, his time was too short, and bis knowledge of the purposes of this Government too limited, to enable him to seriously involve us in complications, and wo got him home before he hud done any serious damage, except to his own reputation. "Weshall havo our English troubles settled satisfactorily to both Governments, but it is not an easy mutter to say when. Large bodio* movo slowly, and great questions, to bo woll settled, must be well considered and whilo tho business progresses with kindly dispositions on both sides, the courso of wisdom is patience and peace.

The tcne was one to apall the stoutest heart. The immense crowd, only inform ed enough to know th»t a terrible acci dent had occured, swayed and surged like mighty billows, breaking over every con fine and threatening to add to the list of deaths by trampling beneath their feet some of the weaker and tho smaller, who were reeling about in the vortex in utter helplessness First impelled by curiosity the jam was toward tbe spot from whence tbe sound came tho maimed and wound ed lying about the vicinity were over whelmed, and doubtless some were killed outright who might have lived had they been allowed air and given attention at once. "When curiosity was appeased by the ghastly eights which met the eye, and when the people, in a dazed and bewildered way, came to comprehend tbe character of tbe disaster, a panic seized them, and evon a more fearful calamity was threatened through their terror.— Strenuous exertions were made by the cooler and calmer to quiet and allay excitement, and after a time something like order was evoked, and a survey made of the extent of the casualty.

Tbe engine was set up about seventyfive yards west of tbe power Hall, and the saw mill some fifty or one hundred feet due north of the engine. The force of tbe explosion seemed to be lateral. Heavy pieces of the machinery were blown to the north and to the west a long distance a few of the lighter parts were found some distance to tbe east, but more were thrown backward. Those who saw it say that nothing was thrown higher than thirty or forty feet. The bodies of several men were lifted into tho air, and alighted in mangled and mutilated shapes many yards from where they were standing when struck with tbe steam. An idea ot the force and power and the horror of the explosion may be gathered from some of tbe incidents which we have been able to collate.

Where the engine stood was left no perceptible trace, except an area of smoked and blacked ground. Even the foundation had been torn up, and not a brick was lett standing tbe one upon the other. The framing of the saw mill was thrown askew, turned over, broken and dilcoca ied. A large piece of the boiler, which

INCIDENTS.

Under this head there are a thousand things of interest, but we have but time to hurriedly note a few that come to us well authenticated.

All agree that the explosion sounded like the discharge of a heavy cannon, and the first impression was that such was the real cause of the noise.

A man,walking in front of the Executive Headquarters, was startled at seeing the skull of a man drop in front of him, the flesh actuallyy scalded off tbe_ bones, but tbe eyes and teeth still remaining in the socket and jaws.

Several yards from the disaster was found a pair of legs held together by the merest shred of fiesb. At one place was the headless trunk of a man at another was the leg of a woman, with her boot and stocking and a part of hor drawers still upon it the arm of a man was found driven into a poplar board while not far from Power Hall was seen the body of a man so horribly mutilated that his heart, stomach: liver and lungs could readily be seen. When first discovere4 his heart was still palpitating, and tbe motion of the organ was plainly observed.

It was reported, apparently upon good foundation, that a woman was delivered of a child on the ground, tbe fright bringing on a miscarriage which may cauie her death.

In tbe Agricultural Hall were lying four bodies, a jumbled, almost unrecoginizable mass of charred, roasted and scalded humanity.

Mr. John E Foudray, with a friend, was sitting in a carriage on the e^st side of Power Hall. They both saw a piece of the boiler coming toward them, when Mr. Foudray's friend pushed hjm aside, and the detdly iron imbed4ed itsplf in the ground not three feet behind himt

The scalp of a man was found near the stairway to tbe Amphitheater. One pieca of the boiler, flying through the air, took off the top of a man's hat.

Governor Baker's coachman was standing noar the horses, while the Governor, in company with Maj. Walker a°d Capt. De .ua Hunt, were standing just at tho

siae of the carriage. Mrs. Baker had left the Governor |?ijt a short time before, and for a half hour the Governor was in great distress for her safety. While the coachman was so badly injured, theescape of the Governor ai4 his friends 6eems miraculous.

Three horses were killed outright, one belonging to Mr. A. E. Vinton, one to Mr. Dawson, the tile maker, and the other to a ceuntryman whose name could not be learned. The was killed while crossing the bridge over the dyke leading to the western exit.

The little daughter of Mr. Dawson was struck in the head while standing near its father. The gifl died very shortly after reaching home, Mr. D. lives near Fletcher's farm, on the Pendleton road,

A baby wagon was struck by a piece of the flying iron, and the wagon utterly demolished, but the child left unhurt.

A piece of the boiler was blown into the cattle shed, two hundred yards, where it passed through the roof and knocked the tips off the horns of the mammoth ox, but doing him no other injury.

Mr. E. A Vinton and his daughter were sitting in a buggy about fifty yards away, looking at the running of the mills, wben a piece of the boiler struck tbe horse, killing him instantly and upsetting the buggy, throwing both occupants out, but doing them no serious harm,

A piece of a mau's head, showing a part of the forehead, the nose and left side of the face, the hair and whiskers very black, was found near

It crashed through the roof of one, and struck a large ox on the horns, breaking off the tips, passing entirely out of the enclosure of the Fair Grounds. One of the shafts, to which was attached an eccentric, was thrown sideways over Power Hall, and landed at the side of Domestic Hall. One of tbe rods was twisted off and carried at least three hundred yards in a

An odd arm and shoulder has been found at the undertakers^ which indicates that there is still another dead man. Tbe arm has been cnce amputated at the elbow, and this is but the stump of the upper half.

mb. sinker's statement.

Our Reporter called at the residence of Mr. E. T. Sinker last evening, and had a conversation with him. Mr. Sinker says that the trial test commenced about halfpast ope o'clock, and that in seven and a half minutes they had Sawn 513 feet of lumber from the rough log, distancing their competitors. Tbe engine started off with 127 pounds of steam. After the test was concluded, the engine was allowed to move slowly, until about three o'clock they determined to saw up the logs tbey bad on hand and get ready for removal to-day.

Tile engine was started again, and the sawing all completed but two rounds, when the pit filled up with saw 4wt, and they stopped to allow it to bo cleaned out. It was while the engine was standing still that the explosion occurred.— About six minutes before, Mr. Sinker says he had tried tbe water gauge, and the second gauge bad shown water, but this might have fooled him by the bubbling of tbe water as it sometimes deesHe notice4 that the fire doors were open, the box partially open, and the damper turned. This he thought enough precaution against tbe increase of steam.— The steam gauge showed nearly 120 pounds. He does not recommend his engines to be subjected to more than 80 or 100 pounds, but this was an extra occasion the gauge had been higher, and the boiler should stand 150 or 100 pounds. He had noticed nothing out cf tbe way at all up to the time be lpft t^e engine. The explosion occurred near 4 o'clock. They were sawing with one of Staley'shesd blocks. I^ong, Joseph and Carter, who had charge of the sawing, bad set tbe bite or feed to 2 inches, which needed considerable force to run, Mr Sinker wss standing half-way between the engine and Power Hall when he was struck talking with Mrs. Sinker. He had but jqst Jeftthe epgine a moment before.

The engine feas not made expressly for the Fair, but was one of their commoo, ordinary machines.

Mr. Sinker gave several causes for the explosion of boilers, but the most general was tbe introduction of water wben the boiler flues were unduly heated. He can not tell what was the cause of the accident yesterday, as his trial of the water gauge showed plenty of water in the boiler, and he saw no intimations of danger. Last year, in the trial with the

over a hundred yards from the placa where he fell dead. His body was otherwise terribly mutilated.

In a lumber pile, near the place where tbe boiler stood, wag found some of the remains of a man literally wadded into the interstices between the planks. One woman, inquiring for her husband, asked one of tbe reporters if his name was upon their list of the killed. It was, but the man could not summon the courage to tell the poor bereaved wife, and he put her off with an evasion.

the cause.

It is proper to say that the almost universal opinion of the cause of tbe ex* plosion is that but little water was in the boiler, and the flues greatly heated. We saw some of the packing of tbe "hand bold" signed and scorched with tbe heat.

The evidence before tbe Coroner's Jury will be looked for with interest by all our people. The lives of a quarter of a hundrsd of human being should not be lightly overlooked. The State Board may find it well to abolish these absurd "tests," which are no test at all, in their future exhibitions.

A gentleman in a stovepipe bat has just vacated these promises and taken with bim a pledge from the undersigned to vote for him for librarian. He is the sixteenth particular friend who supported me in the late election, to whom I have given a similar pledge. I fled from the bosom of a peaceful family laBt week to take refuge in your city from the infliclion, yet it availed me naught. There were eighteen passengers in the sleeping coach for iho city, and all candidates for First Clerk in Ihe House of Representatives. The entire eighteen tumbled precipitately out endi8hubille, surrounded my bunk nnd secured my vote, eacb, and borrowed half a dollar a piece from Ihe subscriber, while tbe conductor, as he punched my check, modestly suggested that be would be a candidate for Controller, if a vacancy should occur in that office. The newsboy who sold mo papers the next morning, as a general thing, were candidates lor public printer, and tha hackman who took me to the Maxwell House hinted, as he opened his door to let me out, that be was a candidate for porter of the IJouse,

At the request of tbe hotel clerk, I was lodged in the highest and remotest room in the building, least accessible to can didates, and discovered as I attained the top of tbe last staircase rear the roof, that a corpulent cuss, weighing 250 pounds avoirdupois, was puffing and blowing budt behind mo, wbo clutched me by ibe coat-tail and button holed me against my own door, No. 653, to remark that be was an applicant for Messenger, I told him I thought he was a trifle light and airy for the berth, when he smiled a ickly snicker as he wiped his forehead with a bandanna about the size of a ta-ble-cloth, that he "koowed his bulk was a Jeetle agin him," but he was an orphan, you know, and broke up in the contraband trade durjog the war, and "were fixen to fall as easy as the situation would allow."

He left his card and hoisted himself across the bannisters and slid to the billiard saloon, where he communicated tbe fact of my arrival to 215 other candidates, who made a rush for my room and broke down the staircase. They then made a rush at tbe ladies' entrance, and breaking the staircase down at that point, rigged a derrick and elevator and constructed a temporary bridge, and soon filled all the corridors, running in every direction, and butting each other .over stairways trying|to find my place of lodgment.
