INDIANAPOLIS, .lan. li.—The GCit-h seslion of the Indiana general assembly of Indiana met yesterday at the capital. The political revolution that has occurred since the last meeting of the assembly has brought forward as leaders men who pia\*ed minor parts in the 58th assembly.

OIL FIELD DISASTER.
Three Men Blown to Pieces While Tliawing Nitroglycerin.
WAPAKONETA, U., Jan. 11. —An accident the most horrible that has occurred in the Wapakoneta oil lield, or, in fact, in this section of the country, was the explosion of 100 quarts of nitroglycerin on the Pruesser rami, three miles west of this place, in which three men, named Frank Logan, John Pettigrew and W. J. McNalley were killed and mangled beyond recognition.
Tiie 1'robable Cause.
The oil well about to be shot was the property jf A. Scott (fc Company of Lima, and tne shooter, McNalley, had arrived on the scene but 30 minutes before the explosion, and was thawing !he stuff in a barrel of hot water. The water being overheated was the probable cause.
McNalley was from Findlay, aged 30 years, and has a wife and two children. Logan and Pettigrew were both from Upper Sandusky, and the former was married.
At the scene of the explosion Everything: Is a Total Wreck. Where the wagon stood, containing a part of the glycerin, there is a hole iu the ground 15 feet across and 20 feet deep, and where the barrel of water stood is a similar hole.
Not a particle of the wagon can be found. The engine house is blown into Fhe derrick and the boiler turned over and perforated with holes. The bodies of Logan and Pet tigrew could be identified only by their shoes and present a horrifying spectacle.
Chunks of Human I'losh
can be picked up in all parts of the field. The horses attached to the wagon were mangled in the same manner as the men, one being blowrn clear up to the derrick. F. M. Closser, manager of the held, was iu the derrick at the time of the explosion, but escaped unhurt.
JUDGE BURKE LOSES
The Demurrer in the $8,000,000 Hocking Valley Case Decided.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 11.—Judge Pugli Thursday decided the domurrer of Judge Burke and his associates to the petition of the New York Central Trust company, which asks for a judgment of $8,000,000 under the bonds of the Hocking Valley railway, issued in 1881. He held that the demurrer was not well founded, and therefore overruled it. Burke and his lawyers took 60 day3 in which to file an answer.
With reference to tho claim that M. M. Greene's estate could not be held, the court said the claim was not worthy of extended consideration and passed it off by holding that it was not a good claim. The question which the court leaves in doubt is, was the trust created by Burke and the rest of the executive committee of the Hocking road an expressed trust or a constructive trust? If it was au expressed trust it continues till the present time. If it was a constructive trust, Burke and the other defendants are entitled to have the statute of limitations run iu their favor. 4
BURGLARS' BOLD JOB.
Seven Men Secure About $300 at Martin'* Ferry, O.
