The meagre details which coula be secured over the telephone were to the effeet that the explosion occurred in August Ruh's saloon, No. 3351 Pennsylvania avenue, and that the adjoining building had -also been wrecked by the ex$%loRion. The concussion created wild si ?excitement in the immediate vicinity, 4!p?and hundreds of people gathered about, /'as the ruins had taken fire and it was rumored that a number of persons had been buried in the debris. Just a few minutas after the occurrence, a Citizens' line_ ear passed in front of the wrecked buildings, .filled with passengers, and a second explosion occurred, and the car was thrown ^rom the track by the force of the up•sfeSg:., lieaval.

The consternation among the passengers was more than a panic, and scarcely ffei?? one of the whole number escaped .without more or less injury. The driver was blown from his position, and so severely injured that he may not recover.

At the same time, pieces of timber and flying debris of all W '''•'•'•''kinds, hurled ih the air by the second exlife plosion, caused havoc among those who had gathered in the vicinity, and the list of injured was swelled till it reached between twenty and thirty. Several other eruptions followed, and the number of houses embraced was increased to tenor fifteen.

Several Buildings Wrecked and a Nam* ber of Persons Prloarly Injured— Fall Details of the Disaster.

PITTSBURG, Pa., January 31.—Natural „gas Ls responsible for another terrible exrible explosion, which at this hour seems to involve not only the wreck of houses, but a serious loss of life and maiming, which will follow the victims to the grave. Shortly before 12 o'clock,

an irregular character

that even Chief Evans, who was in the rotunda at the time, was at a loss to know where it came from. In a moment

"word was transmitted by telephone at the .-.•••„. 'mayor's office and engine houses that an explosion of natural gas had occurred at the "forks of the road," otherwise known as Thirty-fourth and Butler streets, and 01. that there had been a serious loss of life i# M1we^ as great destruction of property.

About twenty minutes past 12 the sig--hal that the fire had been extinguished i^Jiwas sent in, but scarccly ten minutes had itped until another alarm was sounded •from the same box, and additional stearn-

ers hurried to the spot, not only to aid in extinguishing the flumes, but tojhelp aiding to carc for the injured, and"'in liuntSng for those who were supposed to be buried under -the buildings which had been involved in the general destruction.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

The explosion occurred in three buildings, one was the Iron City hotel, a saloon operated by an Englishman named Geo. Morris. It was a low frame house, ''twelve feet front and thirty feet deep. It was occupied by a tenant who had a kitchen and dining room in the basement, above the bar room were two bed rooms.. Next to this was the meat shop of Mrs. Hammersdocrfer which building •was just like the one occupied by ^Morris. Across Thirty-third street r^was a saloon kept by George Mueller. "He lived in a four-story brick house, the bar-room being on the first floor, and a tobacco imanufactory, also operated by pfaeller, was on the second floor. Above this, and on the front second flpor, were

Sleeping apartments. The first explosion occurred in the cellar of Mrs. Hammersdoerfer, about 10:35 a. m. Mrs. Hamjneredoerfer sent her sister, Mary Smolder, into the cellar for a basket. When she SfRffireached the cellar she struck a match, and instantly there was aloud explosion, and

C*..^the

little building was almost shaken apart. The proprietress was thrown fUgyacross her shop. Plastering, glass and M'vloose articles came crashing in from all ^0ides, and the girl in the cellar screamed sSSiwildly. •%/k Before the people could recover their '^^self-possession there was another terrible ^^explosion. It came from the cellar of

Ifrom the cellar. He little daughter Lizzie was blown against the wall and cover'ed with debris, and was badly hurt about the head and face. Miss Smolder, the -girl who went to th^- cellar, was so badly ^burned that she cannot recover.

In the meantime a third explosion occurred in George Mueller's saloon across the street. In the saloon at the tifoe were ', Annie Mueller, a daughter of the pro'prietor Lizzie Sal moth, a cook Dr. ^iZiegler, of Allegheny, and Jack SWrn, a Smill worker. Miss Mueller, who was ljuat going down into the cellar when the explosion occurred, fell down stairs and WT -."was caught bv her feet, where she hung ^screaming. Charles Rutli, a barkeeper, heard her screams and ran into the room "which by this time was in flames. He mad%his way through the falling rums ,.5 and debris to the cellar way and rescued

"*.her. Dr. Zipgler was blown against the Silas! wall and injured internally. Lizzie SalIft^imoth was burned about the face and hurt. Jack Stern was so terribly "«^burned that his death is only a question ftSof a few hours. 2-5

When tlie third explosion occurred, Hthe citizens' passenger car, No. 29, was S? just passing. A beer keg was blown from one saloon pit driver, \V m. Koeta, and SS knocked him senseless. August Horn, 18 Jacob Stein, Melie Oxensbort, a girl, John SBenard, Willie Pa iton, George Zinyer, passing along Pennsylvania avenue and all were more or less injured by the flying debris. By the explosion the houses of :i Morris and Mueller were badly wrecked Mi and every house within a square was more or less damaged. Among the number were Ebert's Baloon, the Lawrence -bank, Tees drug store Shott's grocery «-—Hn's jewelry store, Giles conf€ and Peyton's

Bochn's jewelry store, Giles confectionery and Peyton's Baloon. No one was killed outright, bnt four or five will die. Stun, who was in Mueller's bar room, is now reported dead. There is intense excitement in the neighborhood and a gan£ of men lias been formed among the citizens to tear up the gas pipes to-night. The loss to building and stock is from $75,000 to $20,000.

There was also an explosion of natural gas early this morning in Mifflin township, opposite McKeesport, on the "line of the Carpenter Gas Company, who have a line running from the Murraysville well on high pressure to supply Wood's mill at McKeesport, and broke some glass, but fortunately no person was hurt. ...

THE PRESIDENT-ELECT,

Good Results Expected From His don. ferences With Democratic Leafders. Washington Special.

President-elect Cleveland has begun sending for men in Congress to come to him in New York. He expects to receive the advice of as many leading men in his party during the next ten days as possible. Then he will write out his inaurural address and get his personal affairs ready for his departure for Washington. He hopes to have his Cabinet selected before he leaves New York city for Buffalo to pack his trunks. That will be no later than a fortnight hence. I was told by a gentleman to day who has been requested to go to Mr. Cleveland, that these trips to him are not for the purpose of selecting or suggesting Cabinet officers, but to exchange ideas on the general policy of the party.

It is stated that Mr. Cleveland feels more concern about the legislation that may he effected by Congress during the next four weeks, and what he is to say in his inaugural remarks, than he does about who shall be in his Cabinet. It is nnderstood pretty well by Mr. Eandall in the House and Mr. Bayard in the Senate what Mr. Cleveland wants, and what he does not want in the way of legislation at this session. He has consulted both of them aud expressed his desires. He wants only the appropriations, As intimated in "these dispatches he does not want to be hampered with any of the treaties.

A good deal of pleasure is expressed by Democratic leaders at the way Mr. Cleveland is conducting himself at this time. They are much gratified that he shoald be so anxious to consult them, and presage his success as President already. Of course, there is much confectionery in this. However, those who have returned

LATER DEVELOPMENTS.

Later developments in the Newbold case at Derby are exciting much attention, and constantly grow more serious. It is stated that the police have discovered among the personal papers and documents which reveal a dynamite^ plot of uments which re«al a dynamite plot .g

The Derby Town Hall has been placed under special police protection, and the officials of the Midland Bailway company are using great vigilance to trace out all clues of the discovered conspiracy. Orders have been sent from London to detain and search all suspicious persons traveling over the Midland.

The of Captain Armstrong. LONDON, January 31.—The inquest in the case of Captain Armstrong, killed by his crew, on board the British bark Wellington, was resumed at Plymouth this afternoon. The proceedings were much delayed by the very suspicious circumstance reported of the Wellington. Just as the coroner was about to commence the hearing, last night, the bark was found stuck fast in the mud at her anchorage. Tugs were procured, and she was pulled off and anchored elsewhere. This morning the.craft was found away from the site of the second anchorage and stranded upon the beach directly under Plymouth Hoe, between the city and the Sound. She was cleared off the third time and anchored, and then placed under surveilance. The police suspect those members of the crew who were more or less implicated in killing Armstrong, but who have managed to escape arrest, in their anxiety to help their less fortunate comrades by destroying all possible evidence against them. It is supposed they slipped the ship's cable during the t, in the hope the craft would float out and be wiecked and sunk. Four prisoners, Chas. Patterson, first mate: Jno. Summerdyke, Jergen Jorgenson and Chas. Jones, were present, Summerdyke belongs to New Jersey, in the United States Patterson to New Orleans. Jorgenson swore that Captain Armstrong, at the time he met his death, had been in a state of frenzy from drink. and

But should the legislative branch, by restrictions upon appointments and removals, so bind the hands of the Executive as practically, to take away the power of administering laws, the constitutional functions of the Executive to see (hat the law be faithfully executed would be seriously impeded, for in such case the administration laws might fall into hands of subordinates, for whose appointments-the Executive was in no way responsible, and who might have become unworthy or inefficient while in office. Under the provisions of the bill, the Secretary of State, whose ideas of foreign policy might be totally opposite the Houe and the Executive, he must be retained by*"him, and this though the Senate should concur in the propriety of appointing another in his place. Under existing statutes, preference in appoint ment is given to many,of this class of persons named in the bill, and the purposes of these statutes would, if liberally construed, be carried out by retaining such persons in office, when their general fitness was apparent, or when the proper objects of tne Executive could best be carried out by so doing, but to provide that the Executive shall retain in office any person when he may think that some other person iB better fitted to administer trust, is in our opinion unwise, and unconstitutional..

The house then wentin to a com

mittee of the whole (Hammond in the chair) on the river and harbor bill. Mills earnestly advocated an appropriation for the proposed, improvement of the Galveston harbfcr. "The attempted improvement so far had resulted in failure, and the people of Texas had no confidence in tlie achievement of any measure being a success except by the plans proposed to be pursued by Captain Eads. Thomas thought that the bill in the main was a fair and meritorous one.

There were some items in the bill which were objectionable to him. It would be better for the country, for instance, tc await the action of the harbor board provided for by the bill, before any larger appropriations were made for the improvement of Galveston harbor. Congress should not rush headlong into a work which was to cost $8,750,000, Mmply because Captain Eads was brought forward as its architect for the proposed scheme. If this appropriation for Galveston harbor had been put on an equal footing with the other harbors of the same character and importance, he probably would have abstained from finding fault with it. But when the committee had seen fit to put its foot on its engineer corps and go on without any estimates satisfactory to the house he, for one, must protest against it He thought a halt shouid be called.

There is another project in the bill that was decidedly objectionable. It was one for the establishment of a great national harbor of refuge at Sandy Bay, Massachusetts. The engineers said this was not necessary, yet the committee had put it in. It involved the expenditure of $4,000,000 and was intended to furnish a harbor refuge for the ocean going trade of New England. There were places where harbors, to meet all the requirements of "ish

Now, for tlie fifth time, Paul had come to Jerusalem, and the brethren athered about and in an informal way, but with feelings deep and devout and no 5 doubt demonstrative^ they welcomed him glady. This was the greeting of his brethren as men, as fellows, as colaborers or followers, while on the snccedihg day came the official meeting with the fleaders in the church.

The revised edition has it, "Tie rehearsed one by one the things," instead of "He declared," which perhaps gives a more graphic wording. It is probable that at this time he made mention and presentation of the alms mentioned above.

At this Church at Jerusalem, at this time, James, who was not one of the twelve, though he "was the Lord's brother," was what might be called the bishop or presiding elder, and the fact that no mention is made of the apostles is taken as evidence that there were none of them at this time Uvipg in Jerusalem. The strict rendering of the_ word thousands, used in the twentieth verse, is myriads, reference being made not only .to the different dwellers in Jerusalem, but to those who had come up in great numbers to attend the fejst of the Pentecost.

William Talketh or,Butter.

Courier-Journal. Butter is the mature fruit of the -fullblown cow. It is the greatest effort of her life. The cow toils not, neither does she spin yet, I say unto you, Solomon, in all his glory oould not beat her on tlie hand-made, or, rather, milk-maid butter. This subtle joke I have repaired and newly upholstered for use during the winter.

Butter comes from the cow in a liquid state. It is quite a trick to win her confidence so that she will yield it up to a total stranger. I once sought to woo the lacteal fluid from the milk resort of a large speckled cow, to whom I was a comparative stranger. She wasn't one of those blooded cows that look as though they have been cut out of a sheet of paper with a pair of scissors. She was a low cow, witn coarse instincts, born in obscurity.

Her brow was low, but she wore her tail high, and she was haughty—oh, sp haughty. The young man who had hitherto acquired the milk from this cow, desired one day to hie him away to a neighboring village, where he might trio the light bombastic toe till the wee sma' hours ayont the twal. [Quotation from a poet who was a poor speller.] He wanted me to milk his large, speckled, plebeian cow, and I said I would. The movement was certainly ill advised. I undertook to do as I had.agreed, but failed. From the moment I entered her stall and made a common-place remark

It is probable that the vow how I felt constrained and uneasy in her mentioned in the twenty-third Verse was society from the moment we met until what was known as the vow of the Naza- loving friends pulled me out through the rene, whereby the one taking it pledged stable window and brought me back to a navfain timp us. r»AnaiinnATi0fi fill all never undertake consciousness. I shall never undertake to milk a strange cow again until the sign is right. So far the sign has not been right.

himself to abstain for a certain time, us ually for thirty days, from all strong drink and from everything pertaining to the vine, and, during the time, the hair was not to be cut nor was the person to be defiled by coming in contact with the dead.

I might be sent on a polar expedition and get stranded on an iceberg, with no other alternative but to milk a cow or eat an old friend, but -1 should hate to tackle the cow, unless the friend was a very old friend indeed.

Butter is produced by expunging the juice from a rare and .costly chemical known as cream. Cream is bead on the milk. Milk is known as dry and extra dry. A good milkman will always ask you whether you want your milk wet or otherwise.

An old well-digger named Grady told me about going over into southern Indiana at one time to dig a well for a man named Witlium. Withum was said to be very close. He was the most contiguous man in Indiana. His wife used to skim the milk on one side and then turn it over and skim the bubbles off. It was a constant struggle betweer^Withum and liiB wife to see which would be the meaner.

im a lemon and as hard as Pharaoh's heart. The butter-knife had a handle that would turn every time any one triei to get a lick at the butter, and the little round ball would flop over on the other side and smile. Now and then a hired man would reach over with his own knife and make a slash at it, but«the butter, auu a.— ». Jgmp looruar confident of its own strengtfcgpvould tip

over with a dull thud, and the man would heave a sigh and give it up. Then another farm hand would make a dash at it, but burst into tears and c[uit. Finally Grady, who had watched this performance several days, jabbed his fork down

through the middle of the yellow chunk years, and successfully cut it in two. In the center was a small, solid, wooden top. "There," says Grady, "I've found out what tlie blamed thing is wound on, anyhow."

Curious Jewelry..

Curious jewelry is much affected just now. Some persons pride themselves on

hoop of dead gold is a new notion for wedding rings. Engagement rings are of infinite variety but whatever style, the fiancee ought never to make the vulgar mistake of wearing the ring on the forefinger, which was once the fashion. It should be worn on the third finger of the left hand, and usually the wedding ring is afterward placed over it as a guard. It is the proper thing to have a motto in one's engagement and wedding rings, yet some very stylish people do not have rings at all. "Lopkets, pendants, or bracelets are often substituted." Jewelry is worn in smaller quantity—that is, there is less of it at one time on a person than formerly, except for full dress, when everything brilliant is possible

"But is the steel considered as good article as the iron nail?" inquired the porter. "Better. In the first place, it is smoother and its strength is greater. Besides this, another advantage is that a piece of steel oxidizes much less rapidly than apiece of iron. There are already two steel nail mills in operation, one at Bellair and one at Worcester, Mass. There is also another in process of erection. If the steel nail succeeds, it will do away with puddling furnaces. The Bessemer process will be used and a large number of men will be thrown out ef employment in consequence."
